Humans in "The Choice" do not reach adulthood until they are 16 years old, and their life span is usually around 120 years old. However, due to their longer life span, elves usually do not reach adulthood until they are 30 years old. Perhaps for ordinary people, this age is barely acceptable. But Yun
Xiao Han has put in so much effort, and it is obviously impossible for him to receive the same education age as the original.
Yun Xiaohan continued to put pressure and said that he could not always raise Drizzt here, so the custody rights were in name only, and he would have to find other dark elves to help educate and train Drizzt.
Hearing what Yun Xiaohan said, Madam Malice's attitude relaxed a little, but they started arguing again about the candidates for auxiliary education.
Brisa was the first to exclude her. She had a bad temper and was particularly discriminatory towards men, so she was not suitable to take care of children at all. Maya was temporarily unintentional to take care of children due to the death of her eldest son Novan, so Matron Malice preferred Verna to take care of Tris.
special.
Drizzt's relationship with the silver mine and Yun Xiaohan, a real noble on the ground, should be treated with caution. Verna is smart enough and has a better overall view than the other two daughters, so she is more suitable for this job.
Although Yun Xiaohan knew that Verna was Drizzt's adoptive mother in the original work, and she took him until he was 16 years old, but now Yun Xiaohan doesn't want to be like this again, and he and Zaknafan have already made arrangements.
.
So Yun Xiaohan made an excuse saying that he was not confident about the four people who could sacrifice his son and brother as sacrifices, and he was worried that these four female dark elves would abuse his future apprentices because of their discrimination against men, so he insisted
disagree.
In desperation, Mistress Malice had no choice but to look for someone else, not a woman, but a man, and asked Zac Nafan as the candidate for assistant education. His martial arts level was extremely high, and he was Drizzt's.
My biological father is a very suitable candidate.
Yun Xiaohan performed a complete performance. He said that although he recognized Zaknafan's strength, he had hurt Zaknafan and was worried that he would vent his hatred on Drizzt.
If Yun Xiaohan agreed directly, Mistress Malice would probably think there was something wrong with it. But now, although Yun Xiaohan still doesn't agree, her attitude has relaxed a bit. Mistress Malice immediately felt that her new candidate was a good one.
.
After the two argued, Mistress Malice even revealed that Zaknavan was Drizzt's father in order to confirm the candidate. Zaknafan cooperated and pretended to be surprised, but
Yun Xiaohan still disagreed, saying that the blood relationship between the dark elves was useless, just look at their previous sacrifices.
Mistress Malice almost died from Yun Xiaohan's anger, but Yun Xiaohan's words really left her irrefutable. However, it was precisely because of Yun Xiaohan's strong opposition that she truly felt towards Zakna Fan.
Relax.
In fact, Mistress Malice deliberately revealed this father-son relationship, which was also a test for Yun Xiaohan and Zaknafan. After all, dark elves are notoriously suspicious.
After confirming that there was no ghost, Mistress Malice was forced to make some concessions and lowered the age for transfer to education from 16 to 10 years old.
Seeing that the goal was achieved and the other party took the bait, Yun Xiaohan was also worried that he would be beaten if he continued to pretend. After pretending to refuse, he finally agreed to the choice of Zak Nafan.
Just when Malice breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the matter was finally settled, Yun Xiaohan threw out a new bargaining chip. He said that his territory could start trade with the Do'Urden family.
This bargaining chip is much more attractive to the Do'Urden family than the silver mine. It does not mean that more economic benefits can be obtained through trade. In fact, the income from the Yichen Silver Mine is definitely more than that from trade.
However, the Do'Urden family can obtain many materials that are only available on the ground through this channel. Whether it is gifts or processing, the added value is much better than that of silver mines.
For example, some raw materials and magic materials are not produced underground at all. The finished products made from the former can attract many dark elf nobles. Magic materials can even be used to recruit family mages.
In addition, some luxuries and daily necessities on the ground are very popular in the underdark. Although the dark elves hate the surface elves, some of the handicrafts and clothes made by the elves are very in line with their aesthetics, and human food is also very
Popular, the value of these things cannot be measured by money, and can even be used to expand the influence of House Do'Urden to other underground cities and settlements.
Moreover, being able to contact the races on the earth and obtain supplies, whether it is robbery or trade, is also a symbol of strength in itself, and can greatly enhance the prestige of the Do'Urden family, so it is very important to Mother Malice and her three daughters.
It is a temptation that cannot be refused.
So as soon as they heard this condition, the three daughters' eyes lit up, and Matron Malice immediately understood that this was an offer that she could not refuse, so she readily gave in again. When Drizzt was 5 years old, Yun Xiaohan
Custody rights can be obtained, but Zak Nafan will be in charge when Yun Xiaohan is away.
But Yun Xiaohan is now playing the role of a bastard, the kind of person who wants to stir up trouble even if there is no reason, and likes to push the envelope. If he agreed straight away, it would be fake, so Yun Xiaohan continued to cause trouble, and in the end he had no choice.
, Mother Malice finally gave in and transferred custody when Drizzt was three years old.
At this time, Yun Xiaohan was finally satisfied and agreed. However, Mistress Malice did not suffer any loss. Her request to increase the trade volume between the two parties and give a slight profit was also agreed to by Yun Xiaohan.
In fact, Mother Malice's request was a complete surprise to Yun Xiaohan. This was a trade between the two parties, which was essentially equivalent to smuggling. The Do'Urden family could profit from this, and the same could be said for Yun Xiaohan.
What can be profited from is that some above-ground specialties are not available underground, but some underground specialties are not available above ground either.
After Yun Xiaohan proposed the bargaining chip to start trade, he received a system prompt. The system had restrictions on the upper and lower limits of trade volume and the price adjustment range. As a player, Yun Xiaohan could only trade within the rules and could not change the rules.
adjusted.
But Mistress Malice is not a player. After she put forward the conditions as an NPC, the upper and lower limits of trade volume were increased by half. Although the price was slightly lowered, compared with the increase in trade volume, the benefits that Yun Xiaohan could obtain
There is still a significant increase.
The system prompt also reveals some time flow rate information:
The smuggling trade carried out by both parties occurs every three days in real time.
Since it is impossible to wait for Drizzt to grow up slowly for decades, and the plot related to Drizzt and the Do'Urden family cannot be dragged on for so long, the flow of time in the Underdark will accelerate dramatically before the relevant plot is triggered.
After three days, a year will pass in the Underdark, instead of like the surface world where one day in reality equals three days in the game.
Drizzt is now 1 year old, which means that he will be 3 years old in 6 days in real time. And in three days, Yun Xiaohan and the Do'Urden family will be able to conduct the first smuggling trade.
