After calculating the utilization value of the materials and finished products, Count Stehr felt that it would be more appropriate to keep the ore in his own hands... What if it happens to be needed when making alloys?
Anyway, in terms of price, these metals are a little higher, and the raw materials only represent a possibility.
Although ordinary alchemists may like the materials, Belfran, who has unique tastes, may like these finished products even more!
You know, the water-based materials in Basia City are the best in the entire Danboro, but Mr. Belfran has basically never bought anything... But Count Steer didn't find it strange that a mage of this level
, there are ways to go into the sea to find things by yourself.
Although Poseidon has a somewhat bad character and the living environment of the ocean is relatively harsh, it cannot affect a mage above level 10. Who makes the Lord of the Ocean unable to take action himself?
As a Dumbo noble who knows a little about the past and has been an enemy of Scarlet for generations, Count Stell still understands why Triton causes disorderly storms to appear on the sea. There are always sudden undercurrents in the ocean.
of.
If Damboro hadn't always blocked Scarlet's north-south movement like a god, their world might have been renamed Triton.
But although the Lord of the Ocean was forced to leave the mortal world, he has not yet left Oasis!
As a native human being in Oasis, Scarlet is their enemy of all mankind compared to the conflict of interests with the desert country.
Even the desert bandits in Storm, who seemed to have a deep hatred for Danboro, would stand by Danboro when Scarlet wanted to break through Danboro's defenses.
Other human kingdoms also have a tacit agreement not to trade directly with Scarlet. If they really need that country's famously pure water-based materials, they would rather go around to several port cities in Damboro to purchase them at a higher price.
After all, everyone knows that the Danboro people will not give Scarlet any chance... Scarlet's success will inevitably mean the destruction of Danboro.
The nobles of Oises, no matter how vicious their methods are and how sinister their internal fighting is, they will not waste time on the issue of national survival.
The Earl, who didn't know what his daughter had done, was very confident in the environment in Basia... After all, he had the most water-based materials from Scarlet here.
After all, Brasilia City is the closest Damboro port city to Scarlet, and it was allowed to trade directly with Scarlet when it was first established.
Of course, both sides know the initial purpose... No matter how fierce the fight is, they still have to find a way to feel the other side's bottom!
There is nothing the Scarlet people can do about it. Their blond hair, blue eyes, and too fair...skin that will never tan but will peel off...makes it difficult for them to lurk in other countries.
Therefore, even now when the basic manufacturing methods of crystal energy wonders are available all over the world, Scarlet is still the country with the crudest technology.
This is the relationship between the two sides that has not had any major conflicts in the past hundred years.
As for letting Damboro counterattack... Triton indeed cannot enter Oaises, but he is not completely unable to deal with a country that dares to exterminate his descendants.
He just gave in temporarily.
However, the city of Brasilia has prospered a lot because of this short period of peace.
Even though Count Sterle thought that Hill would prefer those strange metal products, he had always thought carefully about it: Ellie's first official class, the two boxes that Lind brought were metal paintings and a small metal alchemy
tower.
After confirming that Hill was indeed satisfied, he planned to use the remaining items as gifts.
Originally, Ellie should have made it clear when Linde came for the third time.
However, Lind stopped Ellie from opening her mouth. He wanted to try hard and see if the sage would be willing to accept him.
Lind knew that Belfran was willing to teach Ellie something because he felt her sincerity towards alchemy and her frank character.
Lind felt that he was not incapable...of course he knew that he was a little bit behind Ellie in terms of talent, but it was only a little bit. The real reason why he was not accepted by the mages was just because of his military aristocratic family.
He had observed many mage apprentices... there were many who were less talented than him!
And he is so smart that he can recite the book fluently after reading it a few times, so why can't he work harder?
Although Ellie was not very willing to take this risk, she owed Linde a favor... So, after Linde said the above with tears in his eyes, she really hesitated.
It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for her little brother. Although Ellie will not sacrifice her future for Linde, she is very willing to give her brother a hand as she moves forward.
Moreover, when Prince Alexei came to visit, it was Lind who took the initiative to change the atmosphere from a blind date to a visit from a distant relative.
Although this made the atmosphere a bit stiff and cold at that time, at least the other party should have understood that Ellie Steer had no intention of marrying him to make an expensive decoration... especially when the earl did not speak to stop Lind.
Of course, Helena would definitely be unhappy, but at this point, Ellie has a teacher who is quite reasonable on the surface, so she can only regretfully bring this prince who has some relationship with her mother's clan to her.
The site went to receive the reception.
Ellie doesn't care what kind of compensation her mother will give the prince...it won't be more than her dowry, right?
This is great. At least her brother, after his feelings fade away, will not only think of that expensive property when he thinks of his sisters.
Now, neither Dieter nor Linde have married or had children yet, so the happiness of the sisters is more important.
But when he works hard to make money to support his family in the future, he will probably no longer feel that his sister is cute and pitiful when he thinks of the money he gave away for free.
As for the fate of a prince and concubine who married far away and had no family support, Ellie shuddered just thinking about it.
Even if she can keep her property and face because of her status as a mage and her future children... then, what's the point?
Is she studying magic and alchemy just to live such a boring life where she can see the future at a glance?
Of course Helena loves her very much, but as she is happily married, she sometimes ignores some shadows.
Regardless of whether Lind's original actions had any other purpose, Ellie was very grateful for his notice, so she took the initiative to seek the earl's consent and planned to give Lind a chance.
Although the Earl felt that she and Linde were acting out of imagination, he only agreed after confirming that both of them understood that failure was the greatest possibility.
After all, even if it’s one in ten thousand, it’s just a chance!
However, today, Linde, who had always followed him, stayed outside, and Mr. Belveland had no intention of asking.
Ellie knew that this matter could not be postponed...if she didn't talk about it, she probably wouldn't be able to talk about it forever.
Ellie's hand that was clasped on the skirt slowly loosened... Her slender fingers had lost all their strength. Her voice was a little weak but she tried her best to express their initial thoughts in a stable tone.
Of course, she finally pointed out the price Earl Steer was willing to pay for the name of a teacher.
Although Hill had never seen those magical objects woven with metal wires in front of her, Ellie could feel that this high-level mage really liked these things.
Moreover, she also felt that Sage Belfran seemed to prefer plant and metal woven fabrics to the silk fabrics popular in aristocratic society.
Ellie is sure of this. The large living room, study room and bathroom on the first floor where she can move around freely are basically made of cotton and linen products, but they are smoother, more flexible and tactile than those she has seen before.
Not worse than silk.
Ellie did not expect that Sage Belfran was also firmly anti-Spider Silk.
However, many alchemists don't like the silk spun by those big spiders with weird patterns and human faces on their backs... Some people feel that there is something strange about the spider silk, which is not pure enough, and some people don't know why.
, you will be allergic if you wear spider silk products.
But because the Scarlet people are basically allergic to spider silk products, the Danboro people like to use this material.
Of course, that maritime country also has its own silk fabric, which is sea silk sponge, a transparent plant in the sea.
But not only is it expensive, but it also requires special shells to dye it, so only nobles can afford to wear it.
As for Danboro people, as long as they have a serious job in the city, they can wear silk fabrics... Even if they are not as smooth, gorgeous, light and soft as sea silk sponge, it is enough for Danboro people to stand proudly in Sri Lanka.
In front of the Carret people.
Especially after all military uniforms were changed to silk.
Ellie's mind was filled with all kinds of things, diverting her attention... Although it didn't last long, her already nervous fingers and toes were a little spasmodic.
Just when she felt that she could no longer hold on, Sage Belfran at the desk finally spoke: "Yes, you can, but I can only say that when you came to study, I taught him something casually.
.
I don't mind if you promote me as strong enough, because I am indeed strong.
The Danboro Alchemy Association and the Mage Agreement have never been in my sight... They don't have the qualifications either.
But don't say that I admire your younger brother.
He can make me appreciate him, and even appreciate him so much that he is willing to accept me as his disciple. Hehe, he is beyond his reach."
Hill put down the notes in his hand and said softly: "Your talent is pretty good, but you don't seem to understand that the path of a mage does not tolerate any falsehood.
If you learn to deceive yourself, you will be even more stupid.
In this case, I won't speak again.
But I hope you and your family understand and don’t anger me!”
