"...There are a total of twenty-two beasts of burden, each of which can carry two hundred kilograms of weight and four and a half tons of earth source crystals. They are all here. By the way, I have almost all the beasts of burden that can be mobilized underground. I have found them all for you, and I can even guarantee you that you will never find another beast of burden - except, of course, the old, weak, sick and disabled."
"In addition, most teams choose to convert one-third of the number of leaves that should be paid into Earth Source Crystals. You will definitely make a lot of money by transporting these Earth Source Crystals. But to be honest, this is not necessarily the case. It’s a good deal, the price of those leaves on the market is getting higher and higher, and it may not come down in a short time.”
"But fortunately, they are willing to pay it without any compromise. They are even afraid that you will change your mind, which saves me a lot of trouble."
The poet looked confident, and patted the broad back of the Tesov dragon lizard, causing the latter to snort in displeasure. He quickly took a small step away, and then looked back. Hold them.
Fang Plover looked at the more than 20 beasts of burden of different heights, some of which were Tasov dragon lizards, some of which were wingless dragons, and even Orankasho-footed bison, to name a few - they were obviously not They were mobilized from the same team, and it seemed that the other party had really put a lot of effort into getting this done.
In the past few days, support from the Orca Guild and several other guilds arrived in the underground world. The first thing they did was to establish a safe passage to the surface and renovate the path forward. camp, where semi-permanent fortifications were built.
This allowed the major guilds in the south of Nognis to have an offensive base here for the first time, and the gray forest under the ground also got in touch with the ice and snow world outside. Instead of leaving, the number of people going underground actually increased.
Although the major guilds unanimously chose to keep the secret below, they still intervened a little late. The free electors below had already spread the news. Right now, from the Lake of Tears of Obe all the way to the south, from the Great Rainforest to even In some areas of Istania, people and communities are beginning to discuss this newfound adventure destination.
Among them, the Seven Seas Brigade is adding fuel to the flames. Of course, Fang Plover does not want the major guilds to monopolize this place. Firstly, it will not be conducive to them leaving this place. Secondly, it is also to do a favor to the tree heart. The people who come here are getting more and more. The more, the better it will be for the Gray Tree people who stay here.
Of course, it's just a discussion at the moment, but soon there will be a steady stream of adventurers coming from all directions - as long as they are sure that the 'leaves' below are real, there will be nothing better for the chosen ones. Experience points are more important.
Of course, if these guilds in South Noganis can hold on to this place, this may not be a good thing for them. At that time, they don't even need to participate, as long as they collect the 'tickets' , you can make a lot of money.
But no matter what, it’s time for them to leave——
Crystal and her army have retreated deeper underground, and the canyon outside is now the safest time. More importantly, Fang Plover also discovered traces of some bounty hunters not long ago, although they were not necessarily targeting them.
They came, but this was enough to make him more vigilant.
Bounty hunters have very good noses, otherwise it is unlikely that they would be able to do this job, and they generally don’t mind looking for opportunities to make some extra money. So Fang Pulmonary asked others to reduce the number of outings, while also starting to
Make final preparations to leave this place.
He said goodbye to the Heart of the Tree and the Grayskin elders, and notified Alice and May. Then he found Cuiye and asked the poet to help them find a way to recruit beasts of burden from others.
Since they accomplished their goal far beyond expectations, it was impossible to bring out so many Earth Source Crystals without relying on beasts of burden or other means. Among the candidates that Fang Yu could think of, there was almost no one more suitable for this task than the poet Mr.
of people.
Although there is a certain risk, he has learned how to take advantage of the risk from the ship officer lady - he promised the other party a reward that is almost impossible for the other party to refuse, so that even if the other party wants to betray them, they must first
Weigh the gains and losses, or finish this deal first.
Facts have proved that the other party not only completed his commission, but also did it very well.
As for the nagging words of the other party, Fang Plover has already heard the cocoon in his ears, and he doesn't care too much. Although what the other party said is not wrong, they can indeed gain greater benefits this way, but it is too
Being too fussy often means wasting time in bargaining, which may cause more unnecessary trouble.
He counted the number of leaves obtained by the Seven Seas Brigade. There were more than 4,300 leaves in total, half of which were their own trophies, and the rest were considered 'tributes' from other teams as part of the agreement.
However, after Fang Yu finished counting, he was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"Cuiye, it seems that the number is not right?"
But it wasn't that the number was insufficient, but that it was much more than he expected.
Cui Ye shrugged, not surprised: "It's normal, because the original agreement was three percent, but they took the initiative to increase it to ten percent - what you see now is the extra part."
But he was not surprised, but Fang Yu was quite surprised. It didn't matter that he didn't deduct privately, but there were also people who took the initiative to increase their share of the profits. Is there such an operation?
Cuiye looked at his expression and then took the initiative to explain: "Generally speaking, there is no exception, but there are exceptions. Think about it, after all, your contribution in that battle is obvious to all, if it weren't for you -"
But in the face of Fang Yu's suspicious target, he had to change his mind: "Okay, okay, the truth is actually very simple. Of course, I'm not wrong. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won that battle. They made a lot of money afterwards.
Pen, but under the current circumstances, no one wants to just make a one-time deal, not to mention that now that reinforcements from the major guilds have arrived, competition has suddenly increased, and they have taken the initiative to increase their share, naturally with the idea of continuing to cooperate with us.
"
"No," Fang Yu was puzzled: "But we are already planning to leave?"
"That's good, but who knows?"
"You didn't tell them?"
"Of course, I want to keep everyone's secrets secret, I'm very tight-lipped."
Cui Ye said these words sonorously and forcefully, and he vowed to do so.
And Fang Plover looked at the poet with a look that was either admiration or helplessness, as if he saw a huge black pot being thrown at him. Needless to say, the share given to the Seven Seas Brigade increased, and his part as the middleman
The income is definitely rising, so why he is so tight-lipped is definitely not because of professional ethics.
If the Seven Seas Troupe stays, everyone will naturally be happy. But if they leave, the other party will definitely blame them, saying that they only accept benefits and do nothing.
But keeping the secret is indeed beneficial to the Seven Seas Troupe. He looked at the other party and couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and couldn't say anything bad for a while. He could only say that this pot, I
Someone has made up his mind.
The poet also smiled and said: "In fact, it's not bad for you to stay. There is no need for you to leave in such a hurry. Now people everywhere are looking for ways to come to this place. There is a huge treasure down here, isn't it?
.”
Fang Yu secretly cursed in his heart, is it convenient for you to continue to make profits by staying here?
Of course, if he hadn't considered the current embarrassing status of the Seven Seas Brigade, he wouldn't be able to seriously consider this proposal. The leaves of the Elder Tree are priceless treasures to other chosen ones, so why not to them?
More than 4,300 leaves are more than 200,000 experience points. To him, it seems to be just one level of experience - but for a person at level 25, one level of experience is itself.
It's quite a scary thing.
If it were placed on people like Tang Xin, Tian Lan and Ai Xiaoxiao, it would not be the first level, but several levels. Especially Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao, even if they were promoted to the second level of the team in one fell swoop,
It is not impossible to reach the same level. And this thing is not only useful for the chosen ones, but also for the aborigines. This is very important. Baggins, Sylvide, and the big cat people can upgrade.
Not much, using experience items may be one of the only ways to quickly increase your strength.
Of course, the leaves are the assets of the team. How to use them needs to be discussed and decided by everyone, and it is unlikely to be used only on one person. But in any case, it is not only important to the Seven Seas Brigade, but also
It is of extraordinary significance.
However, no matter how meaningful it is, one has to weigh the gains and losses. Now that Fang Plover has decided to leave, he will not waver easily. He just silently looked at the dark and narrow canyon in the distance. This was the first time they had set foot in these days.
Out of this gray and withered woodland—
Others were busy around the beasts of burden, and even Tian Lan came to help. She struggled to hand over the pockets of earth source crystals to the big cat man, who then placed them firmly on the beasts of burden.
on the beast's back.
Sylvide was counting the numbers, Tang Xin and Siesta were following behind her, and the Underground Walnuts and others were also helping.
He lowered his head and glanced at the hands on his pocket watch. The time was dawn time - the time on the ground. Although the boundaries of time underground were not so clear, everyone still acted according to the original schedule.
Therefore, there is still some silence in this apoptotic forest at the moment, but the war has just ended, and not many people will come to this place at this time.
Fang Yu closed the cover of his watch and looked at the darkness in front of him again before turning back. Only this time he skipped the other party's question and suddenly asked: "Cuiye, do you know where the Holy White Stone Guild is?"
What’s the situation?”
Cuiye was slightly startled, but he immediately understood the elegant meaning after hearing the song. He smiled and asked, "You actually want to ask about the affairs of the Twilight Guild, right?"
Fang Yu nodded. He glanced at the latter and had to say that the other party was indeed very capable. Although he made a lot of profits from this, everyone was just getting what they needed. In fact, if it weren't for
This guy, their trip may not go so smoothly.
"What else can we do?" Cui Ye shook his head, "Although the major guilds in South Nognis formed a temporary alliance because of the sudden appearance of the crystal mine, those people knew very well that this
How consistent is the alliance? This is really a questionable thing."
"They wanted to take this opportunity to squeeze out the Twilight people, but unfortunately the power behind Twilight is too big. Who can afford to offend the descendants of Flor? But the Twilight people did do some things that are not worthy of publicity.
This will make it easier for them to come to an understanding with each other, and the conflicts between them and the Holy White Stone Guild will probably be settled."
He smiled: "Speaking of which, it is the Holy White Stone Guild that has gained the greatest benefit here. I heard that their team gained a high reputation in this incident and was also recognized by the tree people.
, now he is almost promoted to the core team.”
Fang Yu was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the leader of the Holy White Stone Guild would be a blessing in disguise. Time reflected and they would probably benefit from this. But what he really cared about was actually Alice. It seemed that Miss Nightingale
I estimate that I will continue to stay in the Holy White Stone Guild.
After Cuiye finished speaking, he suddenly said: "You really don't want to consider that proposal, friend? It can be said that the Holy White Stone Guild has gained a high reputation in this battle, but compared to you, it is
It’s really like a small witch can see a big witch.”
Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise. What benefits did he get from this battle that even he didn't know about? The poet looked at the communication crystal on his chest, and then said: "Do you still remember us?
That public channel you created, right?”
Fang Plover nodded.
"They have decided to keep this channel for a long time and use it as a public channel on this battlefield. As the founder of the channel, you should know your status, right?" Cuiye continued: "This place is like this right now.
It’s so popular. It’s conceivable that more and more people will join this channel in the future. If you are determined to stay here, your reputation will soon exceed that of everyone in this place, even with the presidents and group leaders of those guilds.
They can all be treated as equals."
He raised his head and looked at Fang Plover, looking a little serious for the first time, "I don't know if you know how big this is and what a beneficial resource it is, but if you leave, it may become someone else's in the future."
Of course. Of course, I say so much because I also have interests in it. After all, I am also one of the founders of this channel - but I understand that I, as the founder, have no role. If you are not here, it will not take long.
I will be replaced by someone else."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this. He had indeed not thought about this matter. However, in Aitaria, this is indeed a considerable amount of political capital. Who doesn't want to respond to a hundred calls? Those large and small guilds in the south,
Which one didn't take the lead, or was slowly established with capital investment?
But today, when super sports are becoming more and more mature, if you want to build your own power, the investment is far from what it was in the past. He stayed here, relying on his authority in this public channel, and his own
Ability, and the current popularity of this place, maybe one day he can actually pull up a team of his own. Cuiye said that one day in the future, he can be on an equal footing with the local guild leaders, large and small, maybe it is not impossible.
matter.
But Fang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. This may sound exciting, but it is not what he wants. Besides, it is not easy to talk to the president of a small guild in South Noganis.
It doesn't matter if they are compared to each other. He has sworn to Miss Scarpet that in the future he will build a large fleet, the top adventure group in Aitaria.
What he wants to compete for is the power to be on an equal footing with those top guilds. As a free elector, he can declare war on top guild alliances like the Descendants of Flor.
That's what he wants to pursue.
Of course, if these words are said now, they will only make people laugh. He is no longer the boy who was in the second grade of middle school. Now if he is asked to repeat the original words at that time in front of Miss Scarpet, he may not be able to
I have the nerve to say it.
It's just that the words he said in the past have turned into the beliefs in his heart. He no longer speaks, but only expresses them with actions.
So he shook his head and did not answer Cuiye's words.
The poet looked at him for a long time and then realized that Fang Plover had decided to leave. He couldn't help but sigh, but he was not too depressed. Although he saw a good opportunity lost before his eyes, he was also a lazy person.
And he also understood - this was probably the stubbornness of a young man.
Isn’t it possible that I didn’t come along this way?
"Then I'll take my leave first," Cuiye smiled, "If there is a chance, I hope there will be a chance for cooperation."
Of course, the last sentence is just a scene statement. Aitaria is so big, once you leave, who knows if there will be a chance to meet again?
But Fang Yu stopped the other party at this time: "Mr. Poet."
Cuiye looked back and thought he had changed his mind.
It was only after Fang Yu was silent for a moment that he asked the question he had wanted to ask all along: "You should have recognized our identities, right?"
Cuiye was startled for a moment, but he immediately laughed and winked at him: "What, of course not."
"real?"
"Of course it is true," the poet said with a very sincere face, "otherwise, who are you?"
He then waved to Fang Pliong and his group, then turned and walked into the forest.
But he had only taken a few steps when his voice came from that direction: "...Of course I don't know the hero of Dolifen, the Dragon Alchemist of Vanric. That has never happened before. If it were someone else,
When asked, I would just say I don’t know.”
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile.
It seems that just as Sylvide said, the other party already knows their identities.
But it seems that this poet is indeed a smart man, and he deeply understands that it is better to deal with small teams than large guilds.
