708 Chapter 355 - Elf medicine Part 2 (2/2)
This grade-7 sorcerer looked about forty to fifty years old, he should have advanced around this age, so his appearance did not change much. He had the features of a pedigree Qin person. His black hair carried a tinge of blue hue, while his eyes were dark brown, almost black.
”County Queen, how was the discussion?” This sorcerer did not address Lex using a royalty salutation, this meant that their relationship was very intimate.
”Nothing much, Saleen and I will not have a clash of interests. I have obtained ninety-thousand sets of equipment. Before winter, I can equip the entire army.”
”Just a little more!”
”I will leave in two days, Saleen will be able to make the number. We are too exhausted, if we get ambushed along the way, we can only escape once using my God's Ring. Once we recover, Saleen will send people to deliver the goods to us.”
”What about Huoxing City, can Saleen's army hold the fort?”
”Hah hah, Bill, have you seen Metatrin City's walls? Saleen might not be able to invade a city, but his defense wouldn't be any worse than ours. My five-thousand man army will be fine.”
”Then I can rest assured. When the County Queen can expand the land to ten-thousand miles, I will let the imperial mages support the County Queen. This ten-thousand mile land also includes the lands in Phoenix.”
”Forget it, my brother is still around, I cannot possibly snatch the throne from him, right?”
”That was the intention of the previous emperor, County Queen, you mustn't let all of us down.” The sorcerer looked at Lex, and Lex sighed before nodding. ”Before Father died, he had a secret decree, at least half of the imperial mages will support my ascension to the throne. I will need to expand the territory myself, the land area will need to reach a certain size before the secret decree will take effect. According to my own calculations, if I can really expand my land to ten-thousand miles, I can easily establish a new empire. I will not know the reaction from Holy Rock City though. Ojarvis' body is in bad shape, I don't want to agitate him.”
The dukes were dismissed, as it was already late into the night. Metatrin City did not have a curfew and bright lights could be seen in the distance. The alleyways were as bright as day. Saleen rested his elbows on the windowsill, feeling serene.
”The situation is finally having a breakthrough, even though it will be a little tough, hope is aplenty everywhere. I will have the power to interfere in Phoenix, Laiyin's borders, and Loulan. Sika is staying behind today, why didn't she come over?”
”Master…” Nailisi crawled in through the door seam. Standing beside Saleen, she said, ”Sika asked me to tell you that she will be at Eleanor's today, she will not come over.”
”She's not coming over?”
”Mm, that's what she said. Master, why don't I go over and eavesdrop?” Nailisi said in a mysterious manner. She and Saleen shared a soulish telepathy, so she could not spy on Saleen's actions, she could only do so openly. Nailisi had countless methods to sneak up to someone stealthily though. Before maturity, this was basically an instinct for an imp. No matter the grade of one's profession, they would be greatly injured if they got bitten by Nailisi's teeth. An imp's battle style was highly similar to that of an assassin.
”Forget it, Nailisi don't go over.. You shall stay behind and we can practice elvish magic.” Saleen stopped Nailisi's plan, but he was also very curious, ”Why is Sika with Eleanor? What are they trying to do?”
At this point in time, Sika was in Eleanor's room. Despite not being interested in the arts, Sika was still awe-inspired by the beauty of Eleanor's room.
There were many plants in the room, it was like a forest within a forest.
Elvish alchemy had created insects which danced among the greenery. The magic lamp on the ceiling, which simulated sunlight, had been extinguished. In its place was a crystal lamp which resembled a radiant moon. Eleanor cultivated many plants, these plants gave off a faint brilliance under the crystal moonlight. The light was not a mere reflection, it was the strength produced from within the plants.
In the elvish plane, these plants were in balance with the planar rules, but they also did not appear too mystical. They appeared to be very special and powerful on the Myers mainland plane though.
Sika and Eleanor laid beside each other atop a huge bed, gazing at the magic patterns which simulated the constellations on the ceiling. Sika could not help but ask, ”Eleanor, about the medicine you were talking about, is it really effective?”
”Of course, the relationship between an elf and a human will cause reproduction to be very challenging, so the elves created this type of medicine.”
”Are there any harmful side effects?”
”I haven't heard of any incidents yet. Sika, you are a priestess, you can detect the harmful contents in the medicine. Just be mindful while using it.”
”What did you mean when you said that this thing couldn't be eaten?” Sika asked in confusion.
Eleanor's face went scarlet, then said, ”Sika, this medicine isn't for oral consumption, it is used externally.”
”Eleanor, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, just tell me.” Sika turned over, tugging at Eleanor's arm.
