What did you do with the dice?

Shana: "Those are just small things. It's not just cookies. Her Majesty the Queen has a lot of spoils from the Age of Gods!"

When Rusalka saw the message record, her heart skipped a beat: How dare they say this to Sanita?

As expected, Sanita immediately spoke with great interest, "Hearing this, I suddenly feel that the Elf Forest is really a great place that has never been discovered before."

The two elves were so happy that even the tips of their ears turned red: "Of course!"

Sanita: "By the way, do you want to go back? Well, I haven't been very busy lately, so I'll be free in a few days. Can you take me to visit then? And bring the elves from the Pearl Tear Territory with you, too. Let them know you're safe. The Queen must be worried sick with you being away for so long without any news."

"Not long, just a few years." The two elves had no idea what Sanita was thinking and were very happy. "But if you want to visit, of course that's fine. You're an elf too, so you should live in the Elf Forest. We'll take you back to see our tree house!"

"And the fruits and vegetables are several times fresher than those on our side!"

"And show off the cream cake and the spoils to others."

Rusalka: Oh no, he is familiar with this routine. When the Super Earth encountered the Light Energy, the latter was directly defeated and exterminated just because they had the technology that the Super Earth wanted.

This trip back may be the last time they return to their parents’ home in their lives - because it is out of print.

Elf Forest probably never thought until his death that after diligently feeding the elves popcorn all his life, he would eventually be knocked down by the Sunny Iron Tower brought back by a few rebellious elves, which would mean he would become rich and powerful.

I'm afraid that after finding a way to enter the Elf Forest, Sanita's first words to the Queen will be "After the wise decision of Lord Pearl Tear, it has been decided to list your elf biscuits as large-scale exclusive lethal weapons against humans. In order to protect ourselves, we will immediately launch a defensive counterattack war against the elves. Either hand over your technology and surrender, or die!"

But Rusalka would not tell the dark thoughts in his good brother's heart to those stupid elves who exposed his coordinates, because he also wanted Tata to open!

Chapter 432: Think about what Sanita will do

After the problem with Crown's batch of goods was solved, it was his turn to deal with the problem of how to store the rice, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. that were continuously shipped in and piled up like mountains, as well as some of the grain raw materials such as flour that had been processed and ground for free.

Sani Tieta: (Here's how: Go to the office and find a document on the desk titled "Food Logistics Distribution Plan." Give it to this person and tell them to follow the instructions. If there's anything missing or extra, you can figure it out. In the end, follow this format and give me a copy of their completed plan. Give them three months.)

Rusalka: (Then why do you give them a half-finished product?)

Sani Tieta: (Then I would like to ask why I hired them? Do I really need someone to supervise my work?)

Rusalka thought about it and stood up and said, "Regarding the storage of this batch of grain, I have already drawn up a plan. I'll go to the office to get it first. Phoenix, while I'm away, please entertain the others for me."

What are you treating them to? Can’t they eat by themselves if they have hands?

The cat sitting next to him glanced at him and ignored him completely.

A few minutes later, Rusalka came back with the stack of documents clipped in by Sanita. Seeing this, Newman immediately stood up, bent down, took the document with both hands, and said solemnly as if he was awarding an honor: "My lord, I will definitely fulfill your mission."

Sanita: (Oh, and you should also bring Clown along. We'll declare our trip to the Elf Forest as a trade mission.)

Rusalka: (Your plan for unilateral trade dumping is deafening. Bringing Clown along seems a bit too deliberate. What's his use? Help you grab more spoils?)

Sanita: (Our relationship with the elves is actually quite good.)

The relationship was pretty good - meaning that he killed the opposing elder, stole the power of faith, battled with the opposing moon goddess Elune, and finally captured a large group of elf captives to work illegally in the Pearl Tear Territory.

Well, although they are now very willing, but in the world of the book, it is still considered that the Sani Iron Tower is awesome, Elune, Lily//Destruction.

Rusalka suddenly understood. It turned out that Sanita's intention this time was not simply to rob... uh, to allow the elves to participate in international trade, but to further elevate their relationship, from "pretty good" to "get along well", so that they could formally join the big family of human society - by burning their homes and forcing them to wander in human countries.

Evil enough, I like it.

【Warning, your thoughts are at risk of breaking your oath.】

"System, you're being tactless. How can this be my thought? I have a friend who thinks the same thing, and I'm just expressing it in simple, understandable language. What's wrong with that? The paladins in Esdi next door are all talking about love and peace, but I'm the only paladin in the world who actually feeds so many elves.

Rusalka: For example, those paladins next door who claim to have faith are actually just internet Hakis. They all talk a lot but take no real action. Only I actually adopted a stray Haki myself, but the system accused me of having a problem with my thinking. Should a good paladin be threatened with a broken oath?

Sanitita: (Your analogy is totally wrong. What I mean is that those elves are useful to us. They are very concerned about face, so we might as well give them some face.)

Rusalka: (What use are they? They just provide you with emotional value. How is this any different from Hakimi? I think the reason my brother got anxious is because he realized that based on my analogy, he has become one of those perverts on Earth who want to fuck cats before they even become cat girls!)

Sanitta had no idea how Rusalka, who married Phoenix, a real cat girl, could come up with such a ridiculous analogy and slander: (I understand. I'm going to talk to you in a different way. You have received a limited quest: Recruit Clown to join the team. Progress 0/1. Reward: Unlock the new campaign map [Elf Forest])

Rusalka was immediately amused when he heard this: (Oh no, you've cracked my code. I'm under your control now. I have no choice but to complete my brother's mission.)

So, when the mission master Rusalka saw Newman sitting down and starting to look through the documents, she took the opportunity to say a few words to Clown: "Clown, what kind of trade are you planning to do and how to make money when you go to the Elf Forest this time?"

Clown was stunned. "When did I say I was going to the Elf Forest?" The elves there would kill anyone who entered their formation. Why would I want to die? He laughed and said, "Lord, you're such a jokester! How can I possibly make a fortune? I've never even considered going to the Elf Forest."

Rusalka laughed along with him: "Haha, you should have thought about it now, right?"

Crown's smile froze. He felt as if the tax exemption order stuffed back into his chest had turned into a branding iron, and every boast he had made in the past had turned into flames that gathered together and helped heat this heavy piece of iron.

How could this happen? We were having such a happy chat just now, and I even made some suggestions that were deeply recognized by Rusalka. How could we suddenly have a disagreement? No, we didn't say a word at all and just wanted to kill me?

Living with the Grand Duke is like living with a tiger!

Clown hesitated, trying to struggle, trying to confirm whether Rusalka was unfamiliar with the Elf Forest. "Well... Lord Pearl Tear, it seems useless to ask me to go there. I'm not familiar with the elves at all, and I've never done business with them. Not to mention that fog formation. I heard that no one has ever been able to get out after entering."

"What do you mean no one can come out? That's all just alarmist talk! As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. You've followed me for so long, I'll take you to the Elf Forest to make a fortune, go back and prepare the goods."

In Clown's ears, Rusalka's words were: I just want no one to come out. I want to get rid of you once and for all so that I don't have to do it a second time. You have followed me for so long and know too many things. I plan to send you to the Elf Forest and never see you again. Go back and prepare a suicide note.

Seeing that Rusalka was about to finalize the deal, Clown hurriedly shouted, "My Lord, I...I was wrong. Give me another 50,000 gold coins, and I will help you get the other half of the food."

When Rusalka heard about the "repaying a favor" segment, she thought Clown was quite understanding and said with a smile, "How polite! You're even giving me a 50% discount?"

Clown said with a sad face, "I really don't have a penny left. I don't want to die. I know nothing, I didn't say anything. All that was just bragging. Can you give me a way to live?"

Newman, who was standing next to him, had just finished reading the cursive script written by Sanita. He was about to ask Rusalka a few questions when he witnessed the scene of "Rusalka sentencing Clown to death". He was so scared that he held his breath and tried his best to pretend to be a wax figure: How could this Lord of Pearl Tears be so moody? He would kill the founding hero at will? Oh, it really terrified me!

"Oh, so you're afraid of those elves? Looking at you like this, I almost forgot you're such a coward. Well, don't worry, we'll bring the army with you this time. Just sit next to me, okay? If you get scratched by those rude elves, I'll cut off Phoenix's ear as compensation."

Phoenix's wagging tail immediately stood up in response to the stress, but she gave Rusalka face and held back for the time being while there were guests, just like the so-called standing stick style with three beans.

Crown was stunned when he heard this: "Will you go in with us?"

"Of course. If we don't get in, how are we going to rob... er, do business with the elves? You'll be responsible for selling some small items and helping to publicize the smooth progress of our bilateral trade cooperation with the elves. I'll be responsible for the safety and smooth operation of this trade cooperation. On top of verbal persuasion, I'll add a friendly 'interactive persuasion' link. All of this is Sanita's idea. Don't worry, don't you understand how he works?"

Rusalka added in her heart: That level of reliability is so low that it will almost wipe out my descendants!

Clown also realized what was happening, and asked with a helpless smile, "You... don't want to kill me?"

Rusalka was also puzzled. "Why would I kill you? Could you lay golden eggs in your belly? And I think you're suffering from paranoia. You should go find a priest to treat you, or you might start a personality war soon. And when you go out, be very careful of someone named 'Chu Hua'. She might push you down the stairs."

Clown's expression was even more dejected now, and he had no time to think about Chu Hua and the stairs that had appeared out of nowhere. "My Lord, could you please take back a little less of what I just said? I'm afraid I'll have to pay my entire fortune for this price."

Rusalka was also easy to talk to: "Okay, okay, I'll give you an extra 10,000 gold coins."

Clown breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't losing money. Ten thousand gold coins was still money, so he could make less. "Okay, I promise to complete the task. I'll bring whatever you want. I'll immediately transfer whatever carriages and manpower you need from the Chamber of Commerce branch."

Crown's misunderstanding instantly rekindled Newman's courage. He raised his hand and said, "Well, Your Majesty, Grand Duke Pearl Tears, I'd like to ask you about the unfinished portion of your order. What should we do?"

Rusalka was silent for a few seconds, then opened the private chat interface, scrolled up to find the message history, took a breath, and recited the lines to Newman: "Then let me ask, what did I hire them for? Am I in need of someone to supervise my work?"

Phoenix looked puzzled when she heard this. She was almost always either by Rusalka's side or watching him in the shadow plane, so she knew Rusalka's movements best: he was usually either with her, looking for someone to play the kingdom sandbox with, or going for a walk outside. He had changed so many books under his pillow, but not a single one had been turned to page five. Did he really do any work?

Newman thought he'd stepped on a landmine when he heard this, but then he realized that his status was different from Crown's. He quickly waved his hands and apologized, "No, no, it's my fault. I spoke too much. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me."

Rusalka continued, "You guys figure it out. Anyway, at the end, follow this format and give me a copy of your completed plan. I'll give you three months to finalize it. Anything you don't complete will be sent to the Elf Forest."

"I understand, I understand. I will carry out the mission immediately and ensure that it is completed!"

"Go ahead and show the guests away!"

Watching Newman hurriedly leaving with the plan, Crown, who was sitting next to him, felt confused: What does this mean? How can the word "Elf Forest" have multiple meanings? When I went to the next room, it sounded like a synonym for "guillotine". Is it because I haven't learned the common language well enough?

Rusalka said she wanted to take me to the Elf Forest. Does she want to kill me or not? Could she just stop hanging me? My little heart can't stand this torture.

But he didn't know that Rusalka was the master of impromptu word compilation, and this polysemous word was invented a minute ago.

Rusalka pointed at Clown and said with a smile: "Look, your face has turned pale. I was just kidding. If I really take you to do business over there, if you like, you can marry an elf wife."

Sanita suddenly couldn't get used to it. What does "也" mean?

Clown waved his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Don't tease me, I know my own worth. I'm just a small human merchant, how can I expect so much? I'd better just marry an ordinary human woman."

Shangri-La, who had remained silent throughout the entire process, suddenly spoke up and said to Rusalka, "Listen to what others have to say!"

Rusalka leaned towards Phoenix: "Whatever you do, Phoenix is ​​the best, stick with me."

Phoenix held him down with her palm and prevented him from getting close. Phoenix would feel embarrassed in public, thinking it was too embarrassing. As Hydra said: Big Filin should be upright when he goes out. What does it look like for him to stick to his spouse all day?

Of course, she also said the second half of the sentence, "Can love between young people be eaten as food? Can it be used to kill enemies?" Rusalka answered without hesitation, "Why not? Don't you eat the rice from my family? And don't I kill many enemies?"

Rusalka's words killed the game instantly. While silencing Hydra, Phoenix's back, which had been drooping in front of Hydra, suddenly straightened up, and her ears, which had been drooping in front of Hydra, dared to stand up.

This is also the reason why Hydra has always disliked Rusalka - if a person has no mouth, his face must look terrible; but if Rusalka has no mouth, he will look even more cute.

It's a pity that he has a mouth.

Shangri-La's words of admonishment had absolutely no effect on Rusalka's shamelessness. It was Crown who was hurt: "What's the matter? I was just saying this in a self-deprecating way. How could there be even a hint of 'enlightenment' in it? How could I, the one who said it, not notice it? How did this ancestor of the Pearl Tears family, who had been found in some deep forest, hear this?"

He decided to find a teacher to teach him the common language when he got home. Perhaps the misunderstanding was caused by his lack of attention when he was studying.

Chapter 433: Harassing Calls to God

"Magic pattern connected, open the portal!"

Following Sani Iron Tower's command, a small circular portal with a radius of about two meters opened on the base in front of him. Not long after, the color of the portal changed from colorless to white. This color change was the signal that the two-way access was completed. Before the surrounding mages could applaud, the first nervous mage apprentice walked out of the door.

He touched his body up and down, and after confirming that he was fine, he walked back again. After two round trip tests, the first group of mages from Alice City finally began to walk through the portal and entered the Mage Tower of Silver City - [Demon World].

The portal was built so quickly because this technology is a traditional skill preserved by the Kingdom of Snidi. Therefore, the Sani Tower does not need to worry about the other side needing to be taught step by step like the sea people. It only needs to follow the instructions in the book and send the coordinates of the portal built in Silver City to the Mage Tower in Alice City step by step. The other side will naturally understand how to operate and connect to this two-way door.

When humanity was divided into three, Esterlund retained a large amount of civilian alchemy and magical technology, and eventually developed into a technologically advanced country; the United Kingdom of Humanity accepted the dwarves, retained the most powerful equipment forging and rune engraving technology, and developed into a major mass-producer of cutting-edge magical equipment, with many relics still preserved underground; and Sneedi retained a large amount of magical knowledge and the most important group of mages who believed in the Supreme Arcane Magic, as well as products such as Alice City that were preserved from ancient times and then continuously transformed.

The first person to step out was an old blue-robed wizard. He seemed to have been away from Alice City during the previous battle, likely in seclusion somewhere conducting spell research. As soon as he left, he hurried to Sanitieta and reached out to shake his hand. "Ah, I can tell you're the [Sin Treasure] Master Sanitieta. I've heard a lot about you. You're truly young and promising. Seeing you so energetic is more than anything. We can't be too hasty in building this wizard tower. Let's spend a week discussing what you mentioned earlier."

Another Necromancer, Youkuli, spoke in a somewhat cold tone due to his physical condition: "Haha, you are indeed the youngest Grand Mage. You look good."

Well, what he said was a bit too general. After all, among the people present, there was indeed no one whose face was as pale as his, without even a trace of blood, and who looked like he had just jumped out of a coffin.

Sanitieta asked tentatively, "How many people did you two bring with you this time? Can I accommodate you here?"

"Not much, not much. I see your place is so big, so a small group of us won't be a problem at all. There's more than enough space. We're not here as guests, so there's no need to go to great lengths to entertain us. We're all seekers under the command of the Supreme Lord of Arcane. The pursuit of knowledge is our most important priority. Having something to eat is enough. If that's not enough, you can use this to cover your accommodation expenses."

As he spoke, the blue-robed wizard stuffed two scrolls into Sanitieta's hands, while Youkuri handed him a bird skull with a dark purple gem embedded in its forehead without saying a word.

Sani Tieta was overjoyed. How could there be such a good thing as a contractor leading a team to work for him and paying him?

There was no need to be polite or refuse a gift that had been delivered to his door. He accepted it with a slight smile. "No problem, no problem. You two are so polite. You said you weren't guests, but you came with gifts. I didn't prepare anything in advance, so I feel a little embarrassed. How about this? Actually, you can call a few more people. I'm a bit short-staffed here. Your apprentices should be able to do some basic work on drawing magic circuits, right?"

"Okay, okay. If you can't do this little introductory skill, we won't take you with us. You can do whatever you want with us. I'm ashamed to call this kind of trash my apprentice."

"Haha, that's very polite."

The mages flattered each other for only a few minutes, and soon there were nearly a hundred mages and apprentices standing in the teleportation hall. Sanita signaled an apprentice next to him to take them to the cafeteria in the mage tower for a meal. Only after a full meal would they have the strength to work. He then went to prepare and planned to share with them the information he had collected from Estelon.

Sanita was a little dissatisfied: (Sigh, I asked the chef to prepare 300 servings of food in advance, but less than 100 people showed up? I think Sinidi's mages have declined. There are only so few of them in the royal city.)

Rusalka thought his brother was truly greedy: (You're quite polite, huh? If you're so short of manpower, why aren't you willing to spend money on open recruitment? Look, I just helped you bargain down to 40,000 gold coins. I beg you to spend some money, even if you can just consider it buying back your conscience. I'm really worried you'll get struck to death by the Light God on the street.)

Sanita laughed at him and said, "You think this is a game? You're openly recruiting... huh? Wait, don't tell me, this might actually be a good idea! Come on, write a request as I tell you, and let the messenger and the union handle the recruitment."

It was all because Rusalka was so unruly and his home was so simple and deserted that he almost forgot that Rusalka was now the Grand Duke of Snidi. Of course, he had the qualifications and reputation to publicly announce the call to the Mage Tower. Who else would dare to be dissatisfied?

Rusalka: (After we beat Esterlun like that, can this guild still do anything for us?)

Sanita: (Although the Guild is the power of the God of Contract and Law, and Esterlun is also the power of the God of Contract and Law, the Guild is not Esterlun's power. Okay, go ahead.)

Then it's impossible for you to ask Rusalka to memorize. He used to copy all the dictation tests in class from his deskmate.

It seems that there is no deskmate here, but it does not pose a problem for him: he can summon a deskmate.

"Phoenix, I see you've been neglecting your studies these past few days. Come and practice calligraphy with me. Come out and copy the pen."

Maomao was indeed in the shadow plane. She looked at Rusalka, who laughed to herself as if she had heard a joke after she finished speaking. She walked out of the black mist that emerged from the side, stared at Rusalka with squinted eyes, and slowly sat down at the desk, still a little suspicious whether it was a trick.

Seeing Rushaka really handing her a pen and a piece of paper, she suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "What for?"

Rusalka: "Of course I write. What else can I do? I told you to write. Please write beautifully."

How come he behaved so normally despite his smirk this time? It was truly strange.

Phoenix thought as she started writing for Rusalka.

Cat, do you think I'm stupid? If I tell you this funny point, I will definitely stop laughing immediately. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. It really feels good to tell dirty jokes secretly in front of Cat.

Rusalka thought to herself as she was laughing over there.

It was really incredible. The first thing I did after returning to Earth was to call 120 and send him for treatment to avoid the risk of being charged with "inaction".

Sanita thought after reading the message record.

----

Sanitieta didn't invite these people to teach for nothing this time. Rusalka knew him too well. When you see Sanitieta making sacrifices for no reason, ordinary people will only see that "he seems to have taken the opportunity to collect a large number of free labor to help him build the wizard tower." Isn't that a profit?
