Chapter 36 Application for Territorial Verification in Advance (2 in 1)
"Have you ever encountered a sneak attack by legendary pirates?" Anakin's expression became exaggerated. He looked up and down; Adrian said: "With all due respect, Lord Adrian, what I want to know is, are you
How did you survive the sneak attack by the legendary pirates? Well, sorry, you look intact and have just grown up. According to my judgment, your strength level should not exceed level 8. Of course, this is just curiosity."
Anakin's words were a little presumptuous, and he obviously meant to look down upon him. Adrian felt a little angry in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided to engage in an unfair deception:
"It is indeed a legendary pirate, the infamous Trump. Well, or it should be said that he is the necromancer Bauer pretending to be Trump. He does have a legendary level of strength and is proficient in using spells.
With an elite raiding group of black bone pirates, it stands to reason that it would be difficult for me and my attendants and vassals to survive a sneak attack by a strong man of this level. However, with the protection of the three supreme gods, I was able to survive early in the morning.
I discovered a magical plant some time ago, well, I named it tea..."
So Adrian described in detail how his archer sentinels discovered in advance the approach of the three-masted pirate ship that had now become the Sun Vine "with the help of tea" in the dark night.
How did he "drink tea and have a flash of inspiration at a critical moment" and arrange tactics reasonably and successfully drag Bauer to the Green Tower, thus leaving the legendary necromancer Bauer here.
When he said this, Adrian cast a vaguely apologetic look at Aragund. He did not tell Anakin that the Green Tower who came that day was his father Aragund. He was so
This was done to hide the fact that Aragund rushed all the way because he was eager to save his son, thus giving Anakin the illusion that his tactics delayed more time. Everything was done to maximize the exaggeration of the tea leaves.
function.
Aragund did not respond to Adrian's eyes, but he also did not expose Adrian's deception. In the first place, Adrian was only saying selectively, not lying, and it was within the framework of his tolerance.
On the other hand, Anakin's impolite glance and questioning tone just now also angered Aragund. He knew what Adrian was going to do when Adrian was halfway through speaking, but he also
It was a pleasure for Adrian to cut his flesh on this impolite guy.
As for Abram, he wouldn't say much. Not to mention that Anakin is from Palameo and that he and Adrian are a natural united front. Let's just say that he has already gained a lot from Adrian.
There was no way he would betray Adrian if there were no benefits. Besides, Adrian was really just selective in his expression.
Adrian's selective statement and the "acquiescence" of Aragund and Abram made Anakin almost 60% convinced. He knew that Adrian had exaggerated the efficacy of tea.
But he, from the Rainbow Bridge School, had Adrian "show off" new species discoveries in front of him. How could this not make his heart feel itchy like a cat scratching it?
This is like locking a pervert in an iron cage, and then the cage is surrounded by young ladies with explosive figures in cool clothes who are constantly flirting with him. If someone throws a key to the pervert at this time to open the cage, what do you think?
How to choose a pervert.
So Anakin asked with a very interested expression: "Your Excellency Lord Adrian, is this invention called 'tea' you mentioned a new magical plant? Maybe you can allow me to get close to it?"
I would like to take a look around. Of course, this is just my curiosity as a naturalist, and I am willing to pay for it."
A tangled look appeared on Adrian's face. After much thought, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and made up his mind, saying: "As a naturalist, I can understand your concern for unknown things that exist in the same world.
Curiosity..."
Adrian shamelessly hung the title of naturalist on his head, and then he made a shy look on his face as if he was embarrassed to ask for payment: "If you... um...
…I mean, if you can pay enough, I can let you visit my species discovery, yes, that’s it, it’s a brand new species…”
Adrian looked embarrassed to ask for payment, which made Anakin smile: "You don't have to be embarrassed, Lord Adrian, naturalists' discoveries are all valuable. Visit other naturalists' new discoveries."
Discovery must be rewarded, after all, we naturalists also believe in the principle of equivalent exchange."
So everyone temporarily forgot about the dragon-slaying arrow. Adrian and Anakin seemed to be caught up in the enthusiasm for natural history. They couldn't wait to follow Adrian to his World Tree Manor.
Lagunde and Abram looked at each other, thought about it, and followed.
Still in the living room, Adrian politely invited the three of them to sit down, then ordered Alice to serve tea to the three of them and said: "Sir Anakin, this is tea made from tea leaves. You can experience it for yourself."
Its efficacy and taste are not just because I invented tea, but my personal love for tea really surpasses all types of coffee."
Anakin politely thanked him first, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip. This time, without Adrian's guidance, Anakin savored the taste and efficacy of the tea in almost the same way. After a while, Anakin
Najin swallowed the tea in his mouth, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide: "The mental power has become more active, no, it seems that the thinking has also become more active."
What Adrian served to the three of them was not the kind of popular goods sold by Alfred, but the buds with the strongest vitality carefully selected by Vicki and Luke. The yield of each tea tree is limited, and now it is only
It was just enough to supply Adrian and his parents, and not even Abram could get much.
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Adrian raised a smile and said sincerely: "Maybe the effect of tea is not that obvious for a legendary scholar like you, but what I can guarantee is that this effect must surpass all
The effect of top-quality coffee beans, especially the tea that I drink daily, is also mixed with an extremely rare special tea, which can even allow the flower demon to break through the level of life and evolve into the spirit of life."
Now Anakin is even more interested. He can make the flower demon evolve into a spirit of life. This has already reached the level of law. Even in Glenson Tower, it seems that almost everyone who is a high-ranking elf noble can have it.
Flower Demon Maid, the Spirit of Life is just the next level of life of the Flower Demon, but in fact the current Flower Demons, including Vicky and Alice, are all directly created by upper elves using an item called "Flower Demon Vine"
Born by grafting onto Doraemon bean seedlings, it belongs to the vassal race of the mass-produced area.
But in fact, just like 80% of the high-ranking elves and nobles can have the legendary peak strength level before the end of their lives, but the high-ranking elves who can set foot in the realm of the Holy Spirit are only rare. The flower demon wants to break through the life level and become the essence of life.
Spirit, that would be really difficult.
The tea in Adrian's mouth actually had such an effect. Anakin looked at Adrian with burning eyes and asked: "Your Excellency, Lord Adrian, how many magic crystals are needed to understand the tea in this way? I hope to purchase some.
"
But what Anakin didn't expect was that Adrian refused: "I'm sorry, Sir Anakin, the annual output of this kind of tea that can make the spirit of life is only six to seven pieces. After satisfying my personal and...
After the family's needs, there is not much left, and I also need to consider my friends. For example, Uncle Ambram owns a share of one tea leaf every year, so I do not plan to sell such tea leaves to outsiders.
Oh, by the way, there are always people I hate in this world. In order to prevent my academic achievements from falling into the hands of people I hate, all the flower demons who want to evolve into life spirits need to come here. I am the only one here.
Take this tea leaf in front of others."
"This... maybe you can consider it again, Lord Adrian. You know, our Rainbow Bridge School is relatively wealthy. Maybe we can seriously discuss the price before you make a decision." Anakin still tried to persuade Adrian,
This is a great thing. The value created by a spirit of life cannot be compared with magic crystal.
But Adrian refused without hesitation: "Sir Anakin, please stop tempting me. In fact, even if you come to me to break through the life level, I will not collect the magic crystal. Well, about
The Spirit of Life Hospital, yes, that’s the name. The Spirit of Life Hospital only accepts specified or excluded arcane materials or magical items that are converted according to the price I gave, such as this dragon-slaying arrow, I think.
100 Dragon-Slaying Arrows is a reasonable price."
"This is impossible!" An Anjin exclaimed: "Do you know how much magic crystal can be sold for a dragon-killing arrow? Your Excellency Lord Adrian, this is a super weapon that can kill living dragons, and only our rainbow
Only bridges can be made."
"No, Lord Anakin, obviously a life spirit can create more value in its thousands of years of life. Moreover, the yield of this kind of tea is really low, and I don't intend to say too much.
Selling, um, one or two pieces a year at most, besides, if Rainbow Bridge wants to buy it, I'm afraid it still needs the approval of the Supreme Sun Elf King's Court."
Anakin thought for a moment and planned to use a curveball strategy to save the country and said: "Well, Lord Adrian, I hope to purchase some seeds of this excellent tea plant for research. I can offer a high price."
But Adrian still refused, and he said without hesitation: "This is impossible, Lord Anakin, just like the Rainbow Bridge will not sell the seeds of the rainbow tree, except for the finished tea leaves and tea sets, I don't
I will sell anything related to 'tea', from seeds to branches, I swear to the three supreme gods, it is absolutely impossible."
Regarding the lifeline, Adrian had said it all from the beginning. Only a fool would sell a hen that lays golden eggs. If he gave Rainbow Bridge a tea tree seed, Adrian would wait for the tea market to collapse. This kind of top-notch
The school of thought, whether in terms of scientific research capabilities or production capabilities, is countless miles ahead of Adrian.
Even though Anakin tried his best to talk, Adrian did not waver at all. Anakin even offered a sky-high price of ten dragons, but Adrian still refused without hesitation. In the end, Anakin could only turn to fight.
He paid attention to the finished tea and proposed to purchase a batch of self-made tea.
He is drinking this kind of high-quality tea, but Adrian, who is addicted to monkey tricks, is only willing to sell high-quality tea on the grounds that the production is limited and can only meet the needs of himself and his family. He has also set a limit and is only willing to give to An
The monthly share of Najin is 15kg.
Since Anakin became a great scholar, when has he ever suffered such a loss, especially when the great arcanist of Palameo faced the high-ranking elf of Glenson Tower?
I have always been so humble and humble.
But the damn high-ranking elf young man in front of him not only didn't tell me that he didn't get any preferential treatment, he also refused to buy oil or salt. This is not for sale, and that is not for sale. Finally, something is for sale, but there is a limit. It's really disgusting.
.
But what can Anakin do? When coaxing and entangled have no effect, he seems to have the only option left to threaten him with force. But if he threatens with force, he really doesn't dare. Or the entire Parame
Odu didn't dare. Judging from the few words about the "higher world" that Anakin heard from the highest level of the school, judging from the current known situation, it seems that whether it is the three supreme elf royal courts or the sacred giant
Dragons all have the ability to destroy Palameo alone.
It's just that the other party doesn't seem to be willing to use that kind of ability, and the truth that Palameo is pursuing is another ability that can compete with this kind of ability to destroy the world. Anakin doesn't know what it is.
But that is also his pursuit.
In the end, Anakin could only leave with the "Purchase Share Contract" which he considered to be infinitely humiliating and Adrian's exchange catalogue. He didn't even say goodbye without any grace, and boarded his own boat directly at the entrance of the valley.
The red dragon took off into the sky, then plunged into the ripples of space, passing through the Rainbow Bridge and disappearing without looking back.
Adrian's victory made Abram whistle frivolously: "Well done Aidan, this is how you want to disgrace these so-called great arcanists. They have already displayed such arrogance in front of the upper elves."
They have had a proud expression for tens of thousands of years, and they always disrespect the higher elves when the higher elves ask for their knowledge. Well done, Aidan, good boy..."
Abram seemed to have suffered at the hands of the Grand Arcanist. It may have been that a certain Grand Arcanist was disrespectful to him, which made him always resentful, so as soon as Anakin left, he began to praise Adrian endlessly.
"This is just the beginning, Uncle Abram." Adrian accepted Abram's praise without any humility, and said with a special look on his face.
"Yes, this is just the beginning. You will definitely be able to slap the Great Arcanist in the face in the future. Well, Aidan, Uncle Abram has one thing to ask you. You will have three of them right away.
Dragon-killing arrow..."
"Putting aside this matter, Uncle Abram, it is absolutely impossible for me to sell any dragon-slaying arrows. That is the dream of all archers or arcane archers. I am also an arcane archer, so I absolutely cannot
Maybe, never!”
Abram was obviously thinking about the idea of dragon-slaying arrows, but Adrian interrupted without thinking, and refused categorically, leaving no room for error. He only had three dragon-slaying arrows, and he didn't even have enough for himself.
Adrian ignored Abram, who still wanted to pester him, and turned to Aragund, who was standing aside, and said, "I need you to give me some advice. Father, I want to apply for territory verification in advance."
