Tenaya is indeed dead. Under the impact of the water element and the power of frost, the half-elf's body has been completely transformed from the inside to the outside. Even every cell has been completely transformed into lifeless ice crystals. Under the impact of the huge power of ice and snow, unless it was the King of Water Elements himself, even the Ice and Snow Goddess Adolma, one of the five supreme gods of the Holy City, did not dare to say that she could completely withstand it, and the first-level black dragon guard Gal Rhodes died in an instant and could no longer die!
However, Tenaya was also lucky. Perhaps it was because the White Dragon King's ice power was too pure, or perhaps the half-elf mage happened to be at the node center of the spellcasting area at the time when the ice power was simultaneously emitted from the dragon scales. In an instant, Tenaya's body was completely ice-crystallized in a thousandth of a second, and her soul was extremely lucky to be completely frozen and imprisoned in her body. Although the body died, the soul was preserved intact. After receiving the favor of the goddess Ishtar to reshape her body, Tenaya has now abandoned her identity as a half-elf and become the goddess's wings again.
Tenaya explained to Closide with a smile: "I'm really curious about what makes you so obsessed with my little pet."
"Every businessman has his or her own trade secrets, and I really have nothing to say about this matter." Closide smiled and spread his hands: "But if Miss Tenaya is willing to give it up, I promise you will." Give you a satisfactory price.¡±
Elsa lowered her head, fearful and angry, not daring to look at Croside. Compared to Tenaya and Credir, the businessman in front of her completely regarded herself as a commodity that did not require emotional investment. That kind of The act of using money to decide one's own destiny made him recall the sadness and anger he felt when he was caught by humans. Compared with the way his master Tenaya used himself as a bet, the businessman named Croside in front of him was even more troublesome. It's annoying, and it's also very scary
Thinking of what would happen if she fell into the hands of the other party, Elsa would rather be taken away by Credir, but now she can do nothing but hold tightly to the hem of Tenaya's skirt and secretly pray to her master not to abandon her.
It¡¯s so sad to have no power, you can¡¯t even decide your own destiny!
Tenaya didn't care about Aisha's actions but asked with some interest: "What kind of price? If you mean money, you can go back wherever you came from. Money is a good thing, but for There are people who are really rich and it¡¯s just a pair of meaningless numbers, but to me money is just a bunch of meaningless numbers.¡±
The sophisticated-level dresses, accessories, and emblems are all equipment ranging from sophisticated to excellent. Although there is not even one piece of legendary-level equipment, they are generally very common equipment, but all the equipment is perfectly matched together. As if they are integrated, in addition to being used for protection, these equipments also seem to form a strange magic barrier that can isolate any tracking and detection-related spells.
Tenaya, who was a master-level weapon maker when she was still a half-elf, could see some little secrets in Croseid at a glance. Those inconspicuous little things were all equipment with special abilities. Wearing anti-detection equipment is understandable for a wealthy businessman. After all, being rich is the original sin. The possibility of being secretly watched by desperadoes and competitors when going out is too great, but wearing these things When it comes to the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, it makes people feel a little suspicious.
At this time, many guests around were in an uproar. However, some people disapproved or even secretly agreed. With Tenaya's status, she really didn't need money. As the empire's top technical advisor, she even had the right to control as many as 10,000 people. Tens of billions of R&D funds, with such a large amount of money in front of you, anyone can make themselves fat in one go with just a little thought.
But Tenaya obviously didn't. Although she also lived a life of fine clothing and fine food, with several maids waiting on her, these expenses were considered frugal compared to the guests who could stand in this banquet hall tonight. Yes.
"I know~ If it could be solved with money, I would have left with this child long ago."
Croside touched the space ring he was wearing and took out something from it: "I also proposed to Prince Augusta before. If you are willing, I can exchange ten elves for this child, but you don't seem to be interested. , and later I heard that Miss Tenaya, you are a mage and also an instrument maker, so how about I use this in exchange this time?"
Many people around looked at Croside curiously, wanting to see what valuable treasures the vice-president would give in exchange. You must know that the ten elf slaves just mentioned are not a small sum of money.
??A silver-white metal block the size of half an egg. The surface is extremely smooth. When you look at it, it always feels like there are some kind of ripples slowly pulsating. This is a piece of metal that seems to haveAs strong as metal, even without any forging or polishing, it can attract the attention of everyone present just by its own qualifications. Men are eager to make it into exquisite emblems and mighty swords, while women even I couldn't help but daydream about how beautiful it would be if I could make this piece of metal into an ornament and wear it on my body.
In an instant, the faces of some well-informed nobles and mages suddenly changed after a brief surprise. In particular, the faces of several high-level mages with noble titles in the Kalsemmen Empire changed several times, making them a little unsure. .
"Olihakon metalthis big piece! Where did you get it?"
Tenaya gave the answer with a look of astonishment and shock, an answer that made everyone in the banquet hall uproar.
The metal of gods, the chosen stone, the treasure of the earth, the universal material
The guests around came up with many alternative names for the Orihakon metal. Different regions and different races on the entire continent had a wide variety of names for the Orihakon magic metal, but in the end these names all expressed One meaning is the extraordinary forging properties of Orihakon metal and its rare quantity. As an associated mineral of magic crystal and adamantite, usually a mining kilogram can extract as much Orihacon metal as half a little fingernail from it, which is considered to be a rich harvest, but even more may not be possible even if the entire mine is hollowed out. How much Orihakon metal has been obtained, and there is no basis for the growth conditions of this metal. Even the most outstanding mineralogists and geologists still cannot figure out the cause of the formation of Orihakon metal.
The name Metal of God is truly worthy of its name!
Many nobles among the guests stared with red eyes at the small piece of Orihakon metal in Croside's hand. Some mages even couldn't help but swallow their saliva. If they hadn't seen that this place belonged to the Kalsemmen Empire, In the palace banquet hall, if the other party hadn't been the vice president of the Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce, some people might have been planning to temporarily part-time as robbers and bandits to ambush the vice president on his way back to the Free City.
The arrogance and elegance of aristocrats? Don't be stupid, this is Orihacon Metal!
Although it is only half an egg, it may not be as big as half an egg, but the value of this piece of Orihacon metal is enough for a beggar to buy dozens of luxurious manors and nearby fertile farms, plus the lord's castle, and more At that time, this kind of metal was a priceless treasure. Even the holy objects carried by the priests and priests blessed by the gods in the Holy See and the Holy City were built by Orihakon. Historically, due to the competition for Orihakon, There have never been fewer wars involving Lihakon, and the magic metal of Orihakon plays a large role in the equipment that is famous in history. Even the dwarfs¡¯ belief in Orihakon metal is considered to be When forging Orihakon, a part of the body of the God of the Earth, the dwarf blacksmith usually has to perform pious rituals to ensure that it is perfectly forged. Only after doing this, can the work begin.
You can see how attractive this metal is across the entire continent!
In addition to forging Orihacon metal, it is also used in a wide range of applications. It is used in some magic instruments, magic circles, mythical locks, and even magic experimental materials. Mages also regard this metal as a family heirloom. Even a hundred years ago, some After the death of the last member of the declining magician family, people discovered that he would rather bury half a thumb-sized piece of Orihakon metal with him in the grave than sell it in exchange for wealth. And Karser The Sect Empire also regards it as a strategic resource and strictly controls the outflow of Orihakon metal. All Orihakon metal is mined and refined and returned to the state. Selling it privately is not as simple as decapitation. It's a serious crime to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
Such a valuable thing was actually used in exchange for an elf slave girl?
Even a very rare little elf girl can be bought by hundreds in a free city with such a big piece of Orihacon's magic metal. If it were replaced by a beautiful human slave girl, then one person would have to sleep with her every night until she died of old age. Is it okay to not repeat it? Or is it that this Vice President is really wealthy and can take out such things at will?
In response to Tenaya's inquiry, Croside smiled faintly: "It can be regarded as a reward from the client who entrusted me. As for who it is, please forgive me for not revealing the client information. However~ for a mage or a tool maker, Olihakon Magic metals are things that can only be found but not found, so Miss Tenaya, are you willing to make an exchange?"
"It's really embarrassing Orihakon Metal, even if it's the Kalsemmen Empire, I applied for it several times, but I only got a little bit." Tenaya smiled and pinched a cherry with her fingers. About the same size: "Your proposal is really very tempting, Mr. Closide. Although I don't know what is going on with those unknown Orihakon, but"
specialNaya was silent for a moment and then sneered: "I refuse!"
"Yeah?"
Croside was not surprised when he saw this, nor did he have any intention of retaining it. He just silently took back the Orihacon Metal: "Can you tell me why?"
Tenaya tilted her head and said in a joking tone: "Why? Well~ It's probably because you always covet my little pets and bring me a lot of trouble!!"
For a moment, Croside felt that Tenaya's gaze was particularly piercing, as if she had seen something through him.
