Chapter 421 Rising Waves
Chapter 421 Rising Waves
The night elves are female-dominated and male-despaired, while the Qingqi are female-dominated and male-deficient. Both are places that produce many beauties. As Ivan walked along, he didn't see anyone with average or below average looks.
Coming from the water pavilion to the meeting room, old Bayer was very enthusiastic, but the others were thinking about something and their reactions were quite dull.
He had no choice but to get straight to the point and expressed his gratitude to Ivan again, while tentatively asking about the compensation that needed to be paid. After all, Ivan did not owe any favors to the Qingqi tribe.
However, inviting a third-level wizard would take a month and involve the promotion of the tribe's first wizard, so it was not something that could be accomplished by just saying a few words of thanks.
Out of respect for Dorothy and Angus, Ivan did not ask for too much. He only made two specific requests: one was the formula of a potion involving vitality, and the other was fine wine.
The latter is more like a match, as for the others, let old Bayer take care of them, he doesn't care much, now he has high standards.
The Qingqi people have a wide range of friends and interests, so old Bayer agreed without hesitation.
Soon, Ivan and the other two boarded the Lan Que, and the Lan Que set sail from the Qingqi Lake area.
Old Bayer watched the airship go away until it disappeared.
"Great Elder, Great Elder, is the great scholar Marichatton leaving now?" The smile on old Bayer's face gradually disappeared, and at this time a crisp and urgent voice came from behind him.
He turned around and looked at the girl who was jogging towards him with a smile.
"Xiao Danlin, you are just a little late. The great scholar and his friends have something important to attend to and have already left on the airship."
"Oh no! I haven't explained clearly what happened just now to the scholar Marichatton. He must have misunderstood me. What should I do now?" The girl Danlin muttered with disappointment on her face.
"You worry too much. The scholar is such an intelligent person, how could he misunderstand what you mean?" Old Bayer's eyes flickered and he spoke to comfort him.
"The Great Elder is right. Otherwise, how could he stand out among so many wizards and become a great scholar?" Danlin thought about it and it made sense. Then her face fell again.
"That-that means the great scholar doesn't like me, so he said that. I--"
"Haha, you two have only met once and have only been together for a few hours. You, the great scholar, have even seen your most embarrassing side. How can you talk about whether you like me or not?"
"Great Elder, do you have any way to help me?"
"Danlin, do you really want to stay with the scholar Marychaton in the future?" Old Bayer asked seriously.
"Yes, isn't this the destiny of the children of our Qingqi tribe? This is what I think, sister. I choose the great scholar Marichatton. Great elder, please teach me." The girl nodded repeatedly.
"Whatever, you have already embarked on the path of a wizard. There won't be much help your clan can give you directly in the future. It might be a good thing for you to follow a great scholar."
"Hmm."
"Let me tell you, the great scholar asked the tribe for a batch of fine wine. Wine is not good for cultivation. I think this may be the great scholar's own preference. If you want to please him, you have to cater to his preferences."
"I understand. I will study hard to learn how to brew fine wine, and then go to the Eastern Capital to find the great scholar."
Hearing this, the girl Danlin's eyes lit up, and she no longer cared about the elders and ran away.
Looking at her departing back, old Bayer's face darkened completely.
A long time ago, the Qingqi tribe was not like this. The tribe members were not so easily moved, let alone so infatuated. But after being controlled by others one day, the tribe was no longer the same as before.
He shook his head slightly, sighed heavily, and turned to walk towards the water pavilion.
Since we cannot escape the fate of being chess pieces, we must have the awareness of being chess pieces and demonstrate our own value, so that the Qingqi tribe can continue for a long time.
……
On the other side, on the Lan Que, Ivan was sorting out his harvest.
On the academic master panel, [Witchcraft Civilization] gained 400 experience points, upgraded from a level 3 subject to a level 4 subject, and brought a level 4 Great Wisdom Light. In terms of materials, potion formulas and fine wine were obtained.
The potion is called "Tears of Canghu", a high-level potion that replenishes vitality. The raw materials for refining are mostly produced from rivers and oceans. The raw materials are not particularly scarce, but the price is not low.
For him, price has never been a problem, and the same goes for channels.
There weren't many fine wines. Although he wasn't a professional wine taster, he could tell that these wines were far inferior to those from the royal court of the night elves.
He could understand that, after all, the Qingqi tribe was far inferior to the night elves in power.
"Dong dong dong."
"Please come in."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Ivan found it was Dorothy the Wizard. He waved his hand towards the door and it slowly opened. Dorothy gestured, walked into the room, and closed the door again.
Seeing that her expression was unprecedentedly solemn, Ivan's heart moved. He thought that the other party might have some plan this time.
"Wizard Ivan, I think we need to have a good talk." Dorothy said directly after sitting down in a seat on the side.
"We all work in the Eastern Capital, so feel free to say whatever you want to say." Ivan's expression remained unchanged.
"Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but is the second rune magic array you used earlier a new one?"
"That's it."
"Studying for the purpose of wizard advancement?"
"I have this consideration, but not entirely. It is mainly for my own cultivation. In fact, the birth of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Formation is also the same."
Ivan has nothing to hide. Wizards are a group that follows selfish thinking.
Moreover, when he was studying the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, he had not yet come to the China Continent. How could he consider the issue from the perspective of the wizarding world? This was unrealistic.
"I won't beat around the bush. You know, the overall strength of our wizards is not strong, and we really need you to research the rune magic array. If you can do the same as last time, the higher-ups will definitely not be stingy this time, and you will get more than you give." Dorothy advised.
This is not false, but what the wizarding world lacks is top-level strength, not the lower-level wizards who are more numerous.
Ivan was very clear about this, and this statement was clearly a substitution of the original concept.
"Wizard Dorothy, are you speaking on behalf of the city lord or yourself?" he asked solemnly.
"Myself," said Dorothy, after looking at him for a moment.
"My answer is that the time is not right and it is not appropriate to teach it publicly for the time being." Ivan said firmly.
In fact, second- and third-level wizards can also be trained through secret methods.
The prerequisite is that one has certain qualifications, regardless of the consumption of resources, and it must be done by someone who is much stronger than others. However, this method is not universal and will consume the potential of the person being trained.
Dorothy was a third-level wizard born in this way, and the person who cultivated her was Philomena, the lord of Dongdu.
Compared to the third-level wizards who were promoted on their own, Dorothy's strength was actually not that strong. Putting aside some external factors, she was even at the bottom.
When facing Dorothy, everyone is more concerned about the city lord behind her.
It was almost the same for Ivan. His strength was definitely much greater than Dorothy's. In this world where strength was respected, there was certainly no need for him to humble himself and accept Dorothy's rude request.
I’m stuck in a writer’s block. I can only finish one chapter tonight. I have to sort out the outline for the rest of the chapter.
