Chapter 607 History of Reconnection
What Ben said was something that everyone had thought about a long time ago. As the top mages in Karen, they suddenly found a force that no one could defeat in an unfamiliar corner of the map. People are not very comfortable. But what is in front of you is the fact, and there is no way to escape now, you can only find a way to deal with it.
"Palling Trading Company provided the source of goods, but the result of my questioning is...they only provide the first batch of crystals at present, and if they want to continue supplying later, they must sign a contract with Elson City."
Kron obviously had more information, and his words made the magisters frown, "Elson? That place that is said to have wiped out tens of thousands of orc troops?"
"You mean a contract? What contract?"
"I don't know the details. They provided the mailing address of Elson City and let me discuss it myself."
Several magisters looked at each other, and Capri said: "Now that His Majesty is preparing to start a war against Efta, are they still in the mood to discuss selling us crystals?"
"You think too much. Do you really think this war can be fought? If Mirno really spends his money to organize this war, how many people do you think will die of famine when winter comes?"
The Strange who spoke was unanimously approved by the other magisters, and Kron raised the newspaper in his hand: "It seems that you have also noticed the newspaper called "Karen Times", but I don't know about the second issue released today. Did you see it... I just got it on the street before I came here."
This sentence immediately stopped the discussion among the other magisters: "Let's talk about the key points!"
"Efta is about to change the farming method, and it is said that the grain production capacity can be more than doubled."
Kron read the main title and subtitle of the front page, and the first sentence caused the magisters to yell and curse, with comments such as "nonsense", "bragging", "fools believe it", etc., but waited for a few seconds , the group of guys collectively asked again: "No...is it true?"
"It is said that the city of Elson has passed the comparative test, and it is true and effective." Regardless of their astonishment, Crohn continued to read: "Artificial rainfall will be promoted in various towns in Efta to alleviate the factors of insufficient water conservancy and strive to increase food supply. Yield. Hmm... What else is there about the biography of the newly appointed bishop of the 'Rose Cross', 'Why is the Viper's Cross a cult?'... We don't need to read such things. Oh, the key point behind is the 'charged spar' which is open for sale. Currently Only the sales method of magic crystal exchange is accepted, please contact the local Parling firm for long-term cooperation."
The newspaper contained a lot of information. After listening to it, all the magisters were thinking in silence. After a few seconds, Strange whispered, "Magic crystal exchange? Do you not accept gold coins to order... What does this mean?"
"Did you forget what I just said? We can't recharge,
It doesn't mean Elson can't. "
After saying this, the magisters all understood that they had to contact the city of Elson. The thirst for the unknown is the lifelong dream of magicians. Now there is a broad road in front of them. What about giving up the path of pursuing the truth?
Even if he knew that this was a hole dug by Efta on purpose, but in the face of the temptation of the "charged spar", he would definitely hold his nose and jump!
"By the way, why isn't the newspaper in your hand made of parchment?"
When the meeting was about to end, Strange suddenly asked such a question, which made all the magisters who were about to leave fall into silence.

"So... when Ducal came to Elson City, you were kicked out in the end?"
Rody looked at the high elf in front of him dumbfounded, feeling that the time axis of history that was originally disconnected was reconnected in a different way at a certain moment.
He clearly remembered that the notes left by the witcher Dukar recorded his words that he was unable to meet Khadgar when he came to Elson City, and he only said that he was not welcome among the high elves Roddy Unexpectedly, within three days of staying in Elson City, Ducal was driven away by Sylvia on the grounds that "the city does not accept dangerous elements".
"This order was given by Instructor Khadgar, so I'm just passing on the message. Maybe the Instructor has his own intentions. This kind of thing... usually has to be done by the city defense team."
Sylvia hesitated in her words, because she realized that the human being in front of her must have something to do with Ducal, and the other party is the Lord of the City, holding the power of life and death...
Uh, that's not right, I'm already dead.
Confused, she glanced at Misha who was rolling on the floor from time to time. Seeing this, Rody waved his hand and asked Misha to stay in another room, which calmed Sylvia's expression.
"Dukal is very unpopular with you?"
"Because there are a lot of rumors...well, for example, he is in league with demons, and he is a traitor hidden among the high elves. Some people say that he even raised demons himself, just like you, so I..."
Roddy nodded to show that he understood that it is indeed not a normal behavior to run around with demons in the war of demon invasion. He was grateful for Sylvia's cooperation. The other party didn't make unnecessary struggles or pretend to be arrogant. This kind of dialogue did solve many historical mysteries.
"I wonder... when was the last time you saw the mage Khadgar?"
"Three days ago, uh, I mean..." Sylvia sighed in vain: "Anyway, I was sorting out Khadgar's teacher's laboratory before I lost consciousness, but he seemed to have discovered something, and I have been waiting for the past few days. Didn't come down from the top of the tower. I remember him saying to me at the end 'all demons will be defeated'..."
Rody frowned in thought, and then said, "Thank you for your answer, Mage Silvia. Maybe I will ask you a lot of questions in the future, but today I will only ask one more question."
He waved at Akasha, pointed to the ring that made Sylvia "wake up" completely, and said, "Do you have any impression of it?"
"This is…"
As Khadgar's laboratory assistant, although his level is not high, he must be knowledgeable and have solid basic knowledge. Sylvia glanced at the magic pattern, and then confirmed: "This is a very unpopular school. If I remember correctly, it was founded by a guy named Partonon. He doesn't respect the arcane, and he says he wants to control life and death. rules, but was soon exiled like Solomon."
Roddy and Akasha looked at each other, but they didn't expect to hear the name of the demigod-level mage at this time.
"Why do you have his ring in your hands? If the Arbitration Office knows, well, it seems that there is no Arbitration Office now."
Sylvia sighed with a dejected expression.
