Chapter 311 - Grand Invitation (1/2)
At the Night Elves' camp.
”I didn't expect you to build your own city at such a young age. It's unexpected. Please forgive me for my offense just now. I'm very sorry.” Elwyn apologized respectfully.
”It's okay, I was too rash.” Lorne smiled politely.
”Just now, Mr. Tyrant said that he can trade the Dragon Blood Grass with us. Is this true?”
”Of course.”
”How many Dragon Blood Grass do you have now?” Elwyn asked.
Lorne did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, ”Can I ask how much Dragon Blood Grass you need first?”
”A lot. It might take tens of thousands.”
Elwyn frowned and explained in a low voice, ”Perhaps you don't know the meaning of the Dragon Blood Grass to us Night Elves. Dragon Blood Grass is a rare herb that will only grow after the blood of dragons is watered and the dragon aura is absorbed. In a very ancient era, our Night Elves were a race that specialized in following the Dragon of Darkness. The Dragon of Darkness used the dragon blood to help us raise our aptitude, giving us the potential to become Phantom Assassins.”
”Unfortunately, thousands of years ago, the Dragon of Darkness, Theodore, joined the Dark Abyss, causing the Night Elves to be implicated. Their status began to waver. Other elves could more or less obtain the favor of the Dragon of Emerald, but the Night Elves had never received kindness.”
”Just like that, as time passed, fewer and fewer Night Elves in our race had the aptitude to be Phantom Assassins. Right now, the Night Elves are facing a life and death threat. We urgently hope to have enough Phantom Assassins. Only then can we survive this calamity.”
”The Dragon Blood Grass is the key to increasing our aptitude. Without the help of the Dragon God, only the Dragon Blood Grass can allow my people to evolve into Phantom Assassins.”
”As for the number of Dragon Blood Grass I want, it's actually related to the number of Phantom Assassins created. I need about 1,000 Dragon Blood Grass to nurture a Rank One Phantom Assassin. If I still want to raise it later, I need more Dragon Blood Grass.”
”According to my calculations, if we want all 300 Night Elves to survive, we need at least 20 Rank One Phantom Assassins and a few Rank Two Phantom Assassins. To fulfill this requirement, we need at least tens of thousands of stalks of Dragon Blood Grass.”
At this point, Elwyn sighed and looked at Lorne with a bitter smile, ”I know that tens of thousands of Dragon Blood Grass are like a dream, but I hope that Mr. Tyrant can generously sell us the ones you currently have. Even if there are only a few hundred, it will be very useful to the current tribe.”
Hundreds of them?
Lorne did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This Elven Queen looked down on him, the City Lord of the Cold Desolate Dragon City, too much.
How could a few hundred Dragon Blood Grass be considered resources?
In the beginning, he had planned to donate tens of thousands of them for free.
But now, it seemed that free donation was not a good plan.
With that in mind, Lorne said, ”If you only need these Dragon Blood Grass, I can give you an answer now. Cold Desolate Dragon City can fulfill your request.”
Before Lorne could finish, the Night Elves in the room were shocked.
