The high priest's confusing operation shocked Lando. At first, he thought that the other party came to him because he had some trouble and wanted his help. Then he could talk to the other party about the core flower. He didn't expect the other party to come up.
King of bombs?!
But then he thought about it, and the surrender mentioned by the high priest might be a little different from what he understood, at least it couldn't be that he would surrender immediately now.
Thinking of this, Lando did not directly answer the high priest's words but asked: "What does the high priest mean? What if I accept it? What if I don't accept it?"
In fact, it has always been the tradition of the Arcane Empire for a race that has not given birth to a legendary arcanist to seek refuge with a legendary arcanist. Some clues can be seen from the initial conversation between Claire and Domeric.
Take the Silver Tower as an example. There are hundreds of worlds under control. If you include the worlds that have been explored but not controlled and the worlds whose coordinates are known but have not yet been discovered, this number will probably increase by one or two times. But Silver Tower
There are only a dozen real legendary arcanists in the tower, so one can imagine the value of legendary arcanists.
Of course, arcanists receive many preferential treatment. In addition to the fact that the entire arcane empire is formed by arcanists and the top management of the empire are all arcanists, the main reason is that the arcanist profession itself is too powerful.
Among them, some geniuses can even compete with the legends of other professions in the second stage. Even the relatively mediocre ones will undergo earth-shaking changes when they enter the third stage, and they will be comparable to the strong ones among the legends of other professions.
With the strength of the tree sea elves, there are naturally legendary arcanists who extend an olive branch to them.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the previous tree sea elves, the cost of directly joining the legendary arcanists was too high, and it was far less cost-effective than cultivating a legendary arcanist of their own, so they all declined.
Now it seems that the difficulty of promotion of the legendary arcanist is beyond their family's imagination, and the disadvantages of not having a backer have gradually exceeded the price of taking refuge, which makes the tree sea elves have to face this problem again.
Then, many legendary arcane masters in the Silver Tower, as well as those young and powerful men who hoped to be promoted to legendary arcane masters, became the targets of the tree sea elves.
After careful consideration and choice, Lando came into their sight.
After various investigations of the Tree Sea Elf clan, Lando is quite outstanding in terms of both his style of conduct and his qualifications and background. He is the best candidate in the Silver Tower, bar none.
Of course, rather than making a rash bet and taking refuge, the tree sea elves' initial idea was to invest in advance, make good friends first, and wait until the 'right' time for a showdown.
But as more and more information related to Lando was collected, including the news about the adventure of exploring the black territory, the voice of "advance surrender" gradually became louder in the clan.
The so-called "advance defection" is actually relatively rare in the new school, but in the ancient school, many races in the top ten seats of the new generation of almost every generation will choose to join the team in advance. Once the person who defectes becomes the Grand Arcanist, it will be a direct blood loss.
Earning, even just becoming a legendary arcanist is not a loss.
The high priest invited Lando to come. He originally wanted to test his tone first, but he didn't expect Lando to be so direct, so he simply made it clear.
"If you don't accept it, then of course there's no need to say more. Just treat it as an old man like me inviting you to drink tea and chat." The high priest said with a slight smile.
Then he stopped smiling and said in a slightly serious tone: "If you agree, then we will have to establish a subordinate relationship in advance."
"What's specific?"
Lando still doesn't understand exactly what he can get and what he needs to pay. He is still a little confused about the rights and obligations of the legendary arcanist. He has never paid attention to this information before.
"We need to act in your name, and we will also be loyal to you. Even if our family gives birth to our own legendary arcanist in the future, we will still stand in your camp and become your strongest ally."
"When you become a legendary arcanist, and you want to open up the Black Territory in the future, or even carry out colonial rule, our family can charge into battle for you and protect your side. We, the tree sea elves, are very experienced in planting and cultivating special plants.
It will definitely create a lot of value for you. If you can become a Grand Arcanist, then our family is willing to send at least twenty legends to your floating city to work for you for a long time, and all the legendary arcanists born in the future will also join.
Your subordinates."
Should it be said that it deserves to be an arcane empire! This condition is simply too lenient for Lando. Once he becomes a legendary arcanist, he will be able to gain the allegiance of the tree sea elves, let alone become a grand arcanist.
It's okay to send Legends to his floating city to work for him. Even the Grand Arcanist can operate the floating city alone, but if other legal professions are added to it, it will naturally be more powerful and have more functions.
And all he paid was to let the other party use his name.
Of course names are also very important, but in this world where great power belongs to oneself, it is very simple to take it back. This basically eliminates the risk that the other party will cause trouble in one's own name.
On the contrary, once Lando does something that is against the rules, he can throw the blame away and say that the tree sea elves did it in his name without him knowing it.
The latter may be the most important thing for many races to consider. Once you follow an unscrupulous master, you will suffer a lot!
Lando didn't think for long before he nodded and smiled: "Very good, I have no reason to refuse."
The high priest also smiled at this time. In fact, this result was also within his expectation. As Lando said, he really had no reason to refuse.
"Although you haven't been promoted to legend yet, since our clan has decided to join us, we will have no other thoughts. From today on, if we have any request, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse!" the high priest said seriously!
.
How do you know me so well? You really do!
The words of the high priest made Lando feel a little uncomfortable. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask for the family's treasure just after someone has taken refuge?
"Ahem, um, I'm actually very interested in the Core Flower." Lando coughed slightly and said.
Then he clearly saw that the smiling face of the high priest froze slightly.
Well, sure enough, it was a bit abrupt to speak directly, but Lando had no intention of taking back his words. This was something he was bound to get.
"The core flower is of great use to me, and I can exchange it for resources of equal value." Lando said sincerely, obviously he was still unable to bring himself into the role of 'master'.
"Lord Lando, you have misunderstood. In fact, most of the ownership of the core flower of our clan is not in our hands!"
