Chapter 457 Unexpected Harvests and Unknown Danger
Gode still remembers the matter that Flora mentioned about cultivating a third-order magic tree through the crossbreeding of four-element magic plants.
This is related to the complete inheritance route of the Northern Territory Master's "Aoki Immortality Sutra", and its importance can be included in the first sequence of the Northern Territory's development.
It's just that although these four-element magic plants are only second-level, because of their special attributes, they only appear in extreme elemental environments, so they are really hard to find.
It is almost impossible to buy it on the market.
Gothe was still at a loss as to what to do, but this party gave him hope.
In addition to being all mages, the people on the field were also from prominent aristocratic families in Auckland.
Their family businesses are spread across various fields, and they usually have access to many people and things that others cannot.
If these people are willing to help him pay attention to the news about these three elemental magic plants, not to mention that they can find the remaining three elemental magic plants he needs at once, but to find the news about one or two of them, it should not be a big problem, right?
As expected, after a moment of silence, a noble mage spoke on the spot.
"I have heard about the Azus Feather Whistle Tree some time ago."
Gothe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the noble mage who spoke.
Everyone's eyes followed him.
"You kid, you just finish what you want to say in one breath, why does it matter?" Adrian cursed angrily.
Obviously, he is the leader in this circle. Since he spoke, the noble mage immediately explained in embarrassment: "I don't want to show off, the main reason is that the source of this news is the City of Black Sails."
This is indeed the case.
The Sword Sea is the sea area to the west of the Plantagenet Dynasty. If you sail all the way up, you can reach the northern border.
Sail downward and you will enter the Sea of Glory. Passing through the Sea of Glory, you can reach the continent of Terra.
But if you choose to sail all the way west, there will be no continent to land on.
To the west of the Sword Sea, there is only the boundless sea. No one has yet explored its boundaries, and no one has discovered the existence of a continent.
However, many scattered islands have been explored in the sea along the way. Most of them are uninhabited desert islands, and they have basically become the habitats of earth-line creatures.
But it is worth mentioning that about 1,500 kilometers west of Dorne Port, there is a group of islands called the Blue Flame Islands.
The environment on the Blue Flame Islands is pleasant and livable, and it is rich in resources.
Because it is far enough away from Bayero County, the waters where the Blue Flame Islands are located no longer belong to the waters of the Plantagenet Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Plantagenet Dynasty, it has always adhered to the concept of non-expansion and non-aggression.
So the Blue Flame Islands in the sea west of Byro County became an unregulated area, and gradually developed into a large port city, the City of Black Sails.
In the City of Black Sails, sea beast hunters, dock gangs, local aborigines, smugglers, criminals, and traveling businessmen from all over the world will gather here.
Because of various reasons, they were not tolerated by the countries on land, so they could only go to sea by boat and come from all directions to settle here.
There is no law here. For those who are escaping judgment, debt, and persecution, Black Sails City is a place where they can regain their lives, because no one here cares about your past.
The price is that this is also an extremely dangerous place. It is very likely that the day after you land in the City of Black Sails, your body will be floating in the harbor, with your money bag empty and your throat bleeding
It is full of dangers but also full of opportunities.
Because there are no laws and regulations in the traditional sense, there is no trade supervision, and the City of Black Sails has become an extremely famous black market trading place.
Whether it is stolen treasures of unknown origin, magic formulas strictly prohibited by various countries on the land, even taboo necromancy, or evil potions, you can buy them here as long as you are willing to pay money.
"The seven days before the Dark Night Moon every year is the All Souls' Day in the City of Black Sails. During the All Souls' Day, the City of Black Sails will hold a grand auction.
Most of the items to be auctioned at the auction are finalized months in advance and listed. My family received a list, and if I remember correctly, there was an Azuth Feather Tree sapling on it. "The noble mage explained.
As for why his family received the list, although he did not say it, everyone understood it tacitly - it means that his family has some gray industries and is related to the forces in the City of Black Sails. It is most likely involved in smuggling?
But this kind of thing is something that people see through without saying anything, and no one will talk about it.
"That's not possible, the City of Black Sails is too chaotic. Even if you have money to take things away, you may not be able to bring them back, and if you leak money, you may even lose your life there." Adrian said immediately.
The City of Black Sail is different from any other place. In that area, murders and looting of treasures are common.
On land, especially in the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is not said that there is no murder and treasure grabbing, but after all, there are laws and the supervision of the dynasty. The risk of doing such a thing is extremely high, so it is not common.
At least in most cases, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing.
"Thank you for informing me." Gaode was also a little entangled in his heart, but regardless of whether he went to participate in this auction or not, Gaode still expressed his gratitude to the other party first.
"You're welcome." The noble mage just waved his hand.
“Mage Gaode, we will help you pay attention to the news of these three magic plants in the future. Once we discover anything, we will send someone to send you a message as soon as possible.” Adrian said seriously.
Everyone on the field responded enthusiastically, but no one bothered to ask Gothe why he was looking for these three elemental magic plants.
The privacy of mages is not allowed to be prying into, this is the default unspoken rule of all mages.
After chatting for a while, a servant finally came over.
But it is not a beautiful maid in a maid uniform, but a male servant in a black tuxedo.
His right hand was covered by his mouth, he bent down and whispered something to Adrian.
Then, Adrian stood up gracefully, raised his left hand slightly, and greeted everyone: "It's almost time, let's go eat together."
Everyone got up one after another and followed Adrian to the restaurant nearby.
In the center of the restaurant is a long table, with dozens of silver candlesticks arranged neatly on both sides. The magic crystal lamps on the ceiling shed light and interweave into a flowing light network.
Above the long table is an extremely large white porcelain plate. The edge of the porcelain plate is inlaid with gold rims, almost covering the entire long table.
It was the first time Gao De saw tableware of this size. Before he started to be surprised, he knew its purpose.
Seven or eight male servants walked in, carrying a huge roasted object on a huge iron frame.
It was something like a cow, but it was twice the size of an ordinary cow. Its skin was an attractive golden yellow, and its surface was sprinkled with secret spices.
· The male servants carefully placed the "roasted whole beef" on the white porcelain plate, then took out the exquisite silver tableware and knives and placed them neatly in front of everyone.
Adrian walked to the head of the long table and sat down, and everyone else also chose a seat to sit down.
The vacant position is reserved for Gaode.
Adrian skillfully picked up the main kitchen knife and meat fork, and followed the noble meat-cutting etiquette, starting from the beef ribs, and accurately cut several thin slices of meat.
The male servants on the side immediately came forward to receive the food on silver trays, and then distributed it to the guests one by one.
Gaode was the first to receive the tray.
· Every piece of meat on the tray was cut into evenly sized pieces by Adrian, alternating between fat and thin, with perfect scorch marks on the surface.
He picked up the main course knife and fork, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth.
At the entrance, you can first feel the firmness and elasticity of the meat, with the roasted aroma.
Subsequently, a fine electric sensation came from the tip of the tongue, which was slightly stimulating, but it did not make people uncomfortable. Instead, it gave people a strange sensory experience, somewhat similar to a spicy feeling.
Then the flavors of various spices exploded in the mouth, mixed with the mellow meaty aroma of the meat itself, and the layers were amazingly rich.
Seeing Gothe's slightly dilated pupils, Adrian showed a smile on his face: "This dish is called Lei Jianzhi. It uses the second-level earth-line creature Lei Jian as the ingredient. It is carefully baked for a day and mixed with many spices. Lei Jian is a rare earth-line creature with excellent taste. It is not easy to get one."
"Hahaha, it is just to welcome Master Gaode that Adrian is willing to spend so much effort on such a good thing. We usually don't get such treatment." Isalin said with a smile.
"Indeed, we have also been inspired by Master Gaode"
"This Lei Jian Zhi not only tastes great, it contains a weak electric current in its flesh and blood. After eating it, it can stretch the body's muscles and restore energy!"
Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively and harmonious.
It was only at this time that Gothe could feel the "rich second generation" aura of these noble mages.
The exchange meeting just now was too serious.
If there is good meat, there will naturally be good wine.
The male servants came up with champagne that was rich, mellow and filled with fine bubbles, and poured it into the goblets in front of everyone.
Satiated with wine and food.
Adrian naturally arranged high-quality accommodation for Gothe, but after thinking about it, he still chose to decline.
Seeing Gaode's refusal, the other party did not persist. It can be said that Gaode was not embarrassed at all.
But after the show ended, Adrian stopped Gothe who was about to leave with everyone.
"I know that Master Gaode has opened a magic material shop in Dorne, but the business has not been very good. Instead, it mainly focuses on purchasing tree species?" Faced with Gaode's doubts, Adrian got straight to the point.
This is not a secret.
Not to mention that Adrian's family is engaged in the gold industry and is well-informed. Even ordinary nobles can find out the news with a little effort to inquire, so Gothe did not say that he felt offended.
For Gothe, only Harland Shipyard is his "major privacy" that cannot be discovered.
Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store was not something that he planned to hide in the first place. It was an industry that he kept in the open.
Hence, he nodded slightly and said, "That's it."
“That’s good.” After getting the affirmative answer, Adrian showed a satisfied smile.
He clapped his hands, and immediately a manservant walked in carrying an exquisite brocade bag.
"Is this?" Gothe was puzzled.
Adrian opened the bag himself, and there were transparent crystal jars neatly arranged inside. At a glance, he saw that there were about sixty or seventy bottles.
Each jar contains a handful of soil and a magic tree seed.
"These are the magic tree species that I asked my family to purchase during this period. Most of them are zero-level and first-level magic tree species. There are probably seven or eight second-level magic tree species.
These things are not worth a lot of money. At most, they take time and energy to collect. The main thing is that you like it and have some thoughts. I hope you will never refuse. It is my small reward for saving you at that time. "Adrian bowed slightly and said in a gentle tone.
Whether it is the main business of Wal-Mart's magic material store or the request just made by Amap, it fully shows that Amap has a special preference for magic tree species.
Adrian's main focus is to do what he likes.
Gothe looked at Adrian.
The latter's eyes are sincere and sincere.
After a moment of silence, Gothe took the brocade bag and sincerely thanked him: "You took the trouble."
"As long as Master Gothe likes it." Adrian smiled.
In the high-end carriage arranged by Adrian, Gothe looked through the crystal jar in the bag and was in a great mood.
I didn’t expect to get such an unexpected surprise when I came to attend the title awarding ceremony.
Hygatha's growth rate has already advanced by leaps and bounds under the influence of the spiritual spring nectar tree species.
In addition to these magic tree species, as long as they are planted, the third level is within easy reach.
Once Yugathira advanced, he would follow "chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven".
Hence this gift that he really couldn't refuse.
The gathering atmosphere of these noble mages today opened his eyes even more.
The progress and hard work of these aristocratic children can be said to have broken his inherent impression of aristocratic children.
But the truth is easy to figure out.
For ordinary people, in the face of the strict class, efforts are basically useless. After recognizing this reality, it is reasonable to choose to "lay down".
But for nobles, hard work will pay off. Under this strong positive feedback incentive, it seems reasonable to make progress.
But this doesn’t mean anything.
Just because this is a circle, people in the circle "play" together because they recognize each other.
Those arrogant and arrogant aristocratic children definitely exist, and there are quite a few of them, but they do not appear in Adrian's circle.
Another unexpected surprise today is the news about the Azuth Feather Whistle Tree.
However, Gaode has not yet made up his mind whether to participate in this auction or not.
The Azuth Feather Whistle Tree is very important to the Northern Territory, but the City of Black Sail is indeed too dangerous. As a second-level mage, if he goes to that kind of place, there is a real possibility that he will be swallowed with no bones left.
There is no need to take this kind of risk.
However, it is not completely impossible.
Because, he still has "foreign aid" to ask for.
The route between Valar Bay and Lagos City has been initially opened.
He can ask Phoenix to send several high-level mages to arrive in Lagos City with the merchant ship, and then go with him to the City of Black Sails to participate in the auction.
This way the safety factor is greatly improved.
I just don’t know if I can catch up with the time. After all, it is already the 14th of the Sunny Moon, and it is only a month and a half away from the Dark Night Moon.
While Gothe was thinking, a chill suddenly rose up his spine for no reason, bringing him back to his senses instantly.
What's going on?
How could he feel "cold" in a place like this, with a body of intermediate Bingyou? !
The next moment, Gothe reacted quickly.
It's not "cold", but "dangerous".
This is the ability of [The Body of Legal Ninja] to "premonitor the coming disaster and pain with a small probability"!
