Alfred is an extremely smart man, otherwise he would not have stood out as one of the two best among Butler Poirot's sons. Well, yes, there are many sons. Compared with the descendants of the upper elf, it is more difficult for the lower elf.
The reproduction of elves is always much easier. The housekeeper Poirot of the Aragund family has a total of twelve children, which makes Isabella especially envious.
Adrian often even felt that the lower elves were the cornerstone of the Green Sea Dynasty. After all, in the South Wind Forest, a territory larger than the Rakshasa Kingdom in the previous life, compared to the number of lower elves with more than one million people, family members
With less than 500 people, the Foehn Windflee family has become a "big family" among the high-ranking elven aristocratic clans.
But it is a pity that in the South Wind Forest, whether it is force, power, or even knowledge, they are firmly in the hands of the sparse Foehnwind Wendefulai family, and the lower elves do not even have the idea of confrontation.
It's not because the lower elves are stupid, but because even if the population of the lower elves is doubled, it won't be too difficult for the Foehn Windflee family to suppress their resistance. The difference in strength is too big.
Adrian believes that even if ten thousand years pass, as long as the basic laws of operation of this world do not change much, there will still be no hope for the lower elves. That is why Adrian feels that those "
The behavior of "free spirit" is probably due to drinking too much.
The lower elves living in the Great South Wind Forest are much happier than elsewhere. Because of the special background of the late Holy Spirit Great Elder, Foehn Windflei, the Foehnfeng Windeflei family is quite tolerant to its people. Don't you see it in vain?
When Biyoubin killed Morey, he didn't even hesitate at all.
But in the South Wind Forest, as long as you have a legal identity, do not violate the "Code of Order", and are more diligent, not only the lower elves, but also the vassal races can live a good life.
Alfred smartly realized that it was not that Adrian had a bad opinion of him and wanted to share his power, nor that Ralph had already won. On the contrary, after Adrian finished speaking, Alfred
Red immediately realized this was his opportunity.
If he insists on staying in the territory, the best result is to become a steward like his father, but if he seizes this opportunity to preside over Adrian's tea business, he may achieve even greater achievements in the future, and the steward and
When running a business, one spends money for the head of the family, and the other makes money for the head of the family. Which one is more important is easy to see at a glance.
So Alfred immediately decided to seize this opportunity. He touched his left chest with his right hand, bowed to Adrian, lowered his head at the same time, and said sincerely: "Afu will not let you down, Lord.
I will bring you the magic crystals and wealth like the hills, and at the same time spread your glory and glory to every port where the Sun Vine docks."
Adrian also stood upright solemnly, and with a clatter, he pulled out the flame-patterned steel long sword that had been hanging on his waist. It had more decorative significance than actual combat and had never been used before, and placed it on Alfred's left shoulder:
"I promise in the name of a great nobleman that if you accompany me through the most difficult road, when I gain glory, you will be illuminated, when I gain honor, you will be honored, and I will give you a surname.
, so that your descendants can also hear about your deeds, and I will grant you status so that your descendants can also be glorious."
This is Alfred's formal allegiance to Adrian in a strict sense. It is also at this moment that Alfred will never betray Adrian again. He transforms himself from a contract servant to a follower.
Adrian shares weal and woe. Even if Adrian is exiled by the dynasty one day and becomes a wild elf, Alfred cannot abandon Adrian. He must follow Adrian to the place of exile and become a wild elf together.
Adrian retracted his sword, and Alfred also straightened up. The change of roles made Alfred start to consider issues more from Adrian's perspective. Their relationship became closer, and they even talked.
They are much more casual:
"Lord, I still think the risk of tea is too great. Maybe we can wait for a while, until our wings are fuller and our minions are sharper and stronger before we do this. Moreover, although tea is a kind of taste and effect
They are all extremely amazing magical products, but it is still too difficult to compete with coffee. You have to know that some extremely high-end coffee also has the effect of stimulating mental energy."
"About this issue, Afu, I can only say that everything is risky. As you can see, our territory is not safe, although we have solved the threat of green-skinned fishmen and defeated them twice.
The Black Bone Pirates, but what I'm telling you is that the Black Bone Pirates may still be in trouble
It's far from over. Not only the Black Bone Pirates, but also the mysterious force to which the Necromancer belongs is also a potential threat. And don't forget, during the last World Twin War, Duwei's Lich Fleet landed.
The place is right near the mouth of the Opal River."
Alfred thought for a while, and he had no better way to break the law to solve the threats that the territory was facing now. It seemed that besides relying on the protection of his family, he could only start by strengthening himself. However, strengthening himself
Magic crystals are needed, whether it is the improvement of personnel levels, the purchase of weapons and equipment, or even magic crystal running.
The magic crystal is a problem that cannot be circumvented no matter what. In the absence of a better choice, Adrian and the Solar Storm leader are left with the only option of risking the tea leaves on the shelves, but Alfred
Something suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps Adrian's eagerness to promote tea was not just to strengthen his own power. He asked uncertainly:
"Sir Adrian, do you want to apply for territory verification in advance? But why? You don't need to be in such a hurry."
Adrian smiled: "Did you see it? There is indeed this reason, Afu, do you know what my biggest pursuit is? For this reason, I don't even plan to go back to Nibelungen."
"Is it...knowledge?"
Adrian walked to the window, cast his gaze into the distance from the window of World Tree Manor, and said with deep eyes: "Yes, knowledge, life will have an end, even the Great Elder of the Holy Spirit will fall, but only knowledge, knowledge is
Eternal, as long as there are elves, knowledge will not disappear.
Since other people's knowledge can still be passed on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years later, then why can't I? I also want the entire Grensen Tower to still remember my name after ten thousand years, because only in this way can I
I want the world to prove that I, Adrian, have been here before."
Alfred was shocked by Adrian's powerful ambition that burst out at this moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He thought about it and asked cautiously: "So you are planning to apply for territory verification in advance.
, is it to leave the territory and go on a study tour?”
"Yes, Ah Fu, I once saw this sentence on an ancient parchment scroll: 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.' Verification with my own eyes is the only criterion for testing truth."
Alfred was deeply inspired by Adrian's words and became excited: "I will do my best for you, Lord, even if it costs me my life."
"No, Ah Fu, I don't need you to sacrifice your life for me. I need you to live well and then enjoy the glory with me one day in the future."
Alfred was completely deceived by Adrian and left Adrian's World Tree Manor with a fanatical light in his eyes. Adrian looked at Alfred's energetic back and couldn't help but wipe his mind.
After sweating a lot, I finally succeeded. I was not a liar in my previous life. It is still difficult to cheat, but fortunately I succeeded.
After taking care of Alfred and tying his interests to himself, Adrian can relax a lot. In fact, Adrian is not entirely deceiving. He really wants to leave the territory to study or travel. After all, it is rare to travel through time.
It really doesn’t make sense not to travel.
After Alfred left, Vicki also looked at Adrian with stern eyes: "Master Adrian, Vicki will always follow Master Adrian. For your great ideal, Vicki will also
Do your best.”
Come on, I didn’t expect that there was another person affected by the big deception, but as the head maid, Vicky’s words were actually correct. She really needed to follow Adrian all the time, so Adrian made a frivolous move.
He stretched out a hand and touched Vicki's head. Well, he had wanted to do this for a long time. Vicki's head looked good to the touch, but it was a pity that after evolving into the spirit of life, Vicki was no longer a rosy girl.
Li style, really sad.
Vicki's face turned red and hot when her head was touched, but she did not avoid Adrian's hand, but insisted on looking at Adrian expectantly. Adrian could only say:
"Okay, okay, you will always follow me. Now go find Ornn and Baggins, and go to the canopy of Ruwendell. I have thought about it carefully. If there is only one kind of tea, green tea, how can we fight against risks?
The ability is still too weak. We can only develop more flavors so that most people can accept them.
Only by becoming fond of drinking tea can we occupy more markets, and our business will become more stable. And Vicki, you and Luke can increase the scale of tea tree planting in Mithril Nautilus.
It would be best to plant the entire space inside, I need more sprouts."
"Yes, Master Adrian."
In the next month, with the efforts of Vicki and Luke, all the tea gardens inside the Mithril Nautilus were planted. With the huge investment of vitality regardless of cost, a steady stream of buds were picked.
In order to ensure the supply of vitality for Vicki and Luke, Adrian even took out a hundred magic crystals to arrange a heaven and earth energy aggregation matrix for Vicki and Luke.
After obtaining Adrian's consent, Baggins taught the green tea making process to the two halflings who had changed careers to become tailors. They were forcibly assigned careers by Adrian again, and now they are Adrian's subordinates.
tea maker.
Under the guidance of Adrian, Baggins devoted all his energy to the research and development of new tea. A month later, a scented tea based on green tea and edible petals was developed, and semi-fermented black tea also achieved success.
, the success of black tea means that milk tea and sweet tea have also achieved success. Although deeply fermented black tea is still under development, Adrian's product line has suddenly become full.
This means that Adrian's tea has begun to truly compete with coffee.
