Who told him to rush up there?.
Chapter 224 Holy Dragon
Chapter 224 Holy Dragon
"Can I take this and exchange it with you?"
"Okay, here you go."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd reached a deal with the elves who were setting up stalls. Everyone turned their heads in surprise and saw their envoy Eli exchanging a crystal clear emerald for an exquisite outfit with a graceful elf lady named Da Lei.
That set of clothes is indeed good-looking, but it saves too much fabric. The whole body may not be enough to make a set of children's clothes if added up. But I have to say that if a woman with a great figure wears this, it will definitely be 100% or even 100% charming and attractive, making people unable to stop.
However, no matter how good this set of clothes is, if it is taken outside and labeled as produced by the elves, and then fought over by unscrupulous merchants, it can only be sold for a few thousand gold coins at most. But the emerald that Eli used to exchange for this set of clothes, with its water content and quality, was sold for tens of thousands of gold coins with his eyes closed. He is... losing money.
But it can’t be said that I lost money. To be able to reach a deal with the elves and win a smile from that beautiful woman with surging breasts, losing a few thousand gold coins is nothing. I would be willing to lose money if I were in their place!
"Ha~"
Carefully handing the emerald to the elf proprietress, and then happily putting the sexy clothes into the storage space, Eli thought about Jessica's surprised expression after receiving the gift, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
The elves have no demand for rare treasures, but nothing is absolute and there are always exceptions. Ordinary gold and silver jewelry is indeed impossible to impress the elves, but green ones are an exception. As one of the races closest to nature, elves, like druids, are naturally immune to green things.
For example, among the entire elves, 80% have green hair, which is the natural color of their hair. Among the remaining 20% of elves who dye their hair, there are those with brown hair, which is the color of trees, which some elves prefer. There are also those with blonde hair, which is the color of the sun, which some elves prefer. There are also those with black hair, which is the color of the night, which some elves prefer...
But no matter what their hair color is, they always like the green color which will accompany them throughout their lives since birth.
Eli actually didn't understand all this. He just saw this broad-minded elf sister wearing green and thought that the emerald would look nice if it was made into a pendant hanging on her chest, so he used it to make a deal.
"Can I take this in exchange for your wood carving?"
At this time, Prince Leighton didn't know where he took out a green fruit from, and tried to exchange the fruit for an exquisite handicraft on the stall of an elf girl.
The unaware of the truth naturally did not think that he could succeed. After all, elven wood carvings were more valuable than clothing. A wood carving of the quality of the elven lady could be considered a work of art. It was worth tens of thousands of gold coins if taken outside. Not to mention a piece of fruit, even an acre of orchard could not be exchanged for that much.
"Okay, here you go."
What is unexpected is that the elf girl is so beautiful, but she seems to be blinded by love and would even do such a money-losing business, exchanging one fruit for 10,000 gold coins? Is it too late for me to go back to my hometown and start an orchard?
In fact, Prince Leighton did not use his beauty to deceive others. He did not just take a green thing to exchange for the good things of the elf girl. This fruit of his was only produced in the distant Sim Plateau, and a fruit tree produced less than ten fruits a year, and there were only ten such fruit trees in the entire Sim Plateau.
In other words, this is a rare fruit with an annual output of less than 100 fruits. Although the Dawn Empire is the most powerful country on the continent, it is impossible for it to monopolize all the output of this fruit tree. In addition, the Elf Empire has been purchasing it at a high price all year round. In fact, out of the less than 100 fruits, 50 to 60 will be bought by the Elf Empire, and the Dawn Empire will at most retain a dozen.
There are only about ten fruits in the huge Dawn Empire. His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress must get one each, right? Princess Lina must get three, right? How precious would the fruits that fell into the hands of other nobles in the empire be?
What's more, this small fruit is not only precious because of its low yield. It is also a medium-quality natural treasure. After eating, it can replenish blood and kidneys. It is very beneficial for elves and druids who practice natural magic. Of course, for this effect, other people who do not practice natural magic also love it. Those who understand this matter will understand it, and there is no need to say it explicitly.
With the chief envoy Eli and the deputy envoy Prince Leighton taking the lead, the other members of the delegation also suddenly realized the situation and took out green things to try to exchange with the elven sisters.
Although the beauties of the elves prefer green, they are not fools. They will not feel dizzy when they see green. They can also distinguish the value of the things in front of them. The most important thing is that their bartering method is to pursue what is useful to themselves. If it is useless, no matter how valuable it is, it will not impress them.
So not surprisingly, the vast majority of exchange requests were rejected by the elven sisters and girls, and only a few people who actually took out items that suited their taste completed the exchange.
If you can find good things made by the elves and sell them outside, you can make a small fortune in minutes. If you meet a big money sponsor who knows the value of things, it is possible to make a fortune.
But unless one is really short of money, no one would sell the good things produced by the elves. Even if they are not passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms, at least they will be treasured up, and it is a great pleasure to take them out and appreciate them from time to time.
After visiting the market again, Eli could no longer find an excuse to stay outside, so he had to follow Wendy's arrangements and stay at the State Guesthouse temporarily, and then bring people to meet Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow.
On the way to the State Guesthouse, Eli tentatively asked Wendy some questions about the blessing of the Goddess of Life. Wendy was not surprised that Eli could get this news, but her status among the elves was average, just an ordinary royal family, and she could not reach the level to participate in high-level meetings, so she might not know much more about the specific matters than Eli.
But what is certain is that all pure-blooded elves will receive the final blessing from the goddess. The druids will also receive a weakened version of the blessing because they believe in the goddess of nature, a subordinate deity of the goddess of life. As for other outsiders, Her Majesty the Queen has said that there will be a little hope of receiving the blessing, but that depends on the goddess's remaining obsession with "eyes", and she cannot influence or interfere.
Not to mention that Eli and she were just ordinary friends, even if she broke the hundreds of years of rules in the tribe and really got together with Eli, she would never help him to get the blessing of the goddess.
Not to mention her, even if the princess and he were together, it would not be possible. Although Eli had some chances of hooking up with an elf girl based on his various conditions, and his overwhelming strength and terrifying talent were worthy of an elf girl making an exception to marry him, that was before, and things were a little different now.
If Eli fails to receive the goddess' final blessing, it means that the goddess doesn't think highly of him. Without the goddess' "blessing", how can this good thing that transcends races be accomplished?
To put it more directly, the blessing of the goddess is the foundation and basic condition for the elves to make an exception. With it, everything is possible. Without it, don't daydream.
Wendy had a rough understanding of Eli's personality and character, and considering his performance today, she would be lying if he said he was not interested in the pretty elf sisters. But it was useless for him to just have such lustful thoughts, he also needed the elf sisters to respond to him.
Originally, Wendy was particularly optimistic about him and Her Royal Highness the Princess. After all, they were both extremely powerful, talented, and very beautiful. They could be said to be a perfect match. She had even thought about bringing them together, but now it was no longer possible. Eli had to get the blessing of the goddess before he could get the blessing of the elves.
So Wendy could only try to avoid the topic raised by Eli and talk to him about business instead, such as the etiquette to be observed when meeting Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow and Her Majesty's preferences. She also specifically emphasized to Eli that he should not drool when seeing Her Majesty the Queen, because Her Majesty the Queen is the most beautiful woman in the elves, and Eli is a lecher...
As for the blessing, Wendy could only reply that what was supposed to be there was there, and what was not there was not there, it was all just a matter of listening to your words, like listening to your words...
They walked and talked like this, and before they knew it, they arrived at the State Guesthouse. After sending Eli and the others here, Wendy's mission was completed. All she had to do next was go back and report.
Having pestered Wendy for so long, Eli couldn't keep her any longer. He could only watch her go away, then turned around and walked into the State Guesthouse with the delegation.
At this time, many international friends had already checked into the State Guesthouse. When Wendy had sent them here earlier, they had already attracted the attention of some people inside. Especially after seeing the familiar face of Prince Leighton, everyone knew that this team was an envoy from the Dawn Empire.
The Dawn Empire not only has the title of the strongest country on the continent, but also has the power of the strongest country in reality. Its national strength far exceeds that of other countries on the continent. Even if the Elf Empire, which is currently ranked second on the continent, is really compared with it, it is like a pony hitting an elephant. It is obviously not a heavyweight.
The envoys from these countries all shamelessly fawned on the Elf Empire, not to mention the delegation from the Dawn Empire.
Suddenly, the state guesthouse was filled with noise. The envoys and deputy envoys of various countries came trotting over with their men. They did not dare to surround the envoy of the Dawn Empire, so they could only come up one by one to greet them. Of course, these people were all from principalities with weaker national strength.
For example, the envoys from the Dragon Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom have also arrived at the state guesthouse, but they did not come to "pay a visit" to the ambassador of the Dawn Empire. Although their countries are weaker than the Dawn Empire, they are also considered to be major powers on the continent, and they naturally have the demeanor of a great power.
It was not until the envoys from the small countries greeted the Dawn Empire's delegation with smiles on their faces that the chief and deputy envoys from the Dragon Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom came with their subordinates to greet Eli and others.
Eli simply glanced at the envoy from the Orc Kingdom, because he was not a girl with animal ears, but a handsome boy from the fox tribe. Eli never liked effeminate men, so he simply nodded to him and sent Prince Charles to talk to him.
As for the envoy from the Kingdom of Dragons, Eli took a second look at it. It was not because she was a beautiful little dragon girl. This giant dragon transformed into a human form was also a male. The reason why Eli took a first look at it was because it was one of the "outsiders" blessed by the Goddess of Life in his previous life.
At this time, its strength is already very strong, and it is an existence that cannot be ignored among the Saints. Although it has not yet reached the level of the strongest Saint, it will become a great force in time. At least in the last life, it was able to reach the peak in just twenty years. You must know that it is a dragon, and for the dragon clan, twenty years is a very short time.
However, the reason why Eli looked at it twice instead of just once was not entirely because of its luck, strength and potential. What Eli was most curious about was its personality. Although it was born in the dragon clan, it did not inherit the dragon clan's "nature" at all. It was not young anymore, but it was said that it did not even have a partner.
It is said that dragons are lustful by nature, but this one is not lustful at all. Not only has he been a bachelor for most of his life, but even when he came to the Elf Empire where beautiful women are everywhere, he was not seen having fun everywhere. Instead, he waited obediently in the State Guesthouse to meet the Elf Queen.
This was completely different from the dragon race that Eli had in mind, but the deeds of this "famous dragon" were well-documented and did not seem to be made up. I had the honor of seeing him today, and I could only say that his reputation was well-deserved, because this guy was not happy among the beauties in the Elf Empire, but when he saw him, his eyes lit up...
"Eli Bruno?"
At this time, the envoy of the Dragon Kingdom, the Saint-level dragon Dekar Homan, called out to Eli with a little hesitation.
After hearing its uncertain voice, Eli nodded, indicating that it had not recognized the wrong person.
"It's you, no wonder you made me feel a little... no, a great fear at the sight of you."
Dekar Homan generously admitted his cowardice. This dragon was born with an inexplicable ability to sense danger. This special talent had saved his life countless times on the battlefield. When he saw Eli before, he subconsciously compared himself with Eli, and had a sense of challenge, but the next second his talent suppressed him into awe.
It didn't even need to fight to know that it could never be Eli's opponent, otherwise his talent wouldn't have intimidated it so much.
It seems that the rumors are true. The Dawn Empire, which was originally the strongest empire on the continent, has produced another Eli Bruno. Their dominance over the continent may continue, and I am afraid that no one, no elves, and no dragons can shake it.
