After a long while, Ai Li murmured, "Is there no way to avoid it..."
"According to what I understand, only people with magic in their bodies will not be affected by this." Senia said softly, "Unfortunately, there are only a few people who embrace magic wherever they are, and the rulers cannot guarantee that their descendants will not be affected by this." There’s magic, so scaling out is a huge risk.”
Ai Li's head dropped.
"But..." the high priest suddenly changed his subject, "I don't think maintaining the status quo is a good choice either."
"Lord Senia!" Pang Ting said in surprise.
"Everyone has also seen that the enemy's attacks are getting stronger every time, and the strength displayed is getting stronger every time. I am not praising the enemy, but the fact is before us - they are making rapid progress and leaving us far behind. So. Let alone revenge, even this small land of one boat may not be able to survive."
Senia looked around everyone, and her eyes finally fell on Ai Li, "We now know that tree spirits cannot stop the enemy, and the enemy will not listen to our dissuasion. However, as long as the risk does not become a reality, there is still room for redemption. room. At least we should try our best to understand why our enemies are getting stronger and stronger, what gods they believe in, and whether learning knowledge from the outside world can really enhance our strength... If we want to know these answers, communication is essential. "
"Master Priest, what do you mean..." Aili raised her head and said.
"We must proceed with caution, but we cannot make no changes." Senia walked down from the main seat, came to the young elf, and gently held her hand, "Thank you for your heroic attempt for the tree boat. I I am willing to talk to the princess over there in person and strive for a possible chance for the surviving islanders."
…
"They're coming."
On the east coast sentry tower, the princess was standing on tiptoe on the retaining wall and looking out - even so, her height was only about a head higher than Xia Fan.
"Your Highness, please be careful not to fall." Qiuyue was extremely nervous, turning left and right, for fear that she might lose her footing and fall to the bottom of the tower.
"Is that a tree boat?" Xia Fan raised an eyebrow and said, "It is indeed a thing that can accommodate 30,000 people."
A green shadow appeared on the skyline. Its size was far larger than the previous sail warship. If estimated by the naked eye, it was probably not as big as the two northwest urban areas of Jinxia City. Its bottom is a layer of dense greenery, and in the center stands a giant tree, which is at least forty meters tall in proportion. Its spread canopy is overwhelming and difficult to measure. Even so, the size of the tree is not that noticeable compared to its vast chassis.
When he thought that the World Island was a suspended land composed of many tree boats, Xia Fan couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this world - under the catalysis of Qi, not only did various creatures evolve a variety of mutations? Even the plants have become unusual.
If it weren't for the fact that trees are naturally weak to fire, or would it just be based on their huge size? It is not easy to destroy it with gunboat fire.
The tree boat stopped moving forward after it reached the offshore sea several miles away? Several green shuttles were released at the same time.
"Let's go." Ning Wanjun clapped her hands and said, "The guests are here."
In order to reduce the uneasiness of strange visitors? The talks were not held at Fengyang Villa on the outskirts of Jinxia City, but directly on the beach beside the salt fields. Carpet? Pull up the tent? Even if it is the first round meeting place between the two sides.
When Ai Li led the high priest into the scene? All eyes were instantly focused on this mature woman.
Xia Fan is no exception.
It can be said that this person is synonymous with charm. Her light blue curly hair reaches her waist, and the two sapphire earrings hanging from the tips of her long ears complement her hair color. A smooth silk dress was extended to the bottom, and the open neckline exposed the collarbone and half of the chest. And she also has the pride to dress up like this? It's the type where you can't see your feet when you lower your head.
Not only does the age of forty not drag down her appearance and figure? On the contrary, it added an intriguing charm to her eyebrows.
This kind of evening dress-like clothing is considered formal in Xia Fan's eyes, but for princesses, fox demons and others, it is an obvious visual impact.
Some guards even turned away their heads in embarrassment.
"This dress is... too much." Li muttered in a low voice.
"Really? I think it suits her quite well." Xia Fan also responded in a low voice.
But soon, he felt a chill coming from behind him.
"Your concentration needs to be improved, so you need to double your training tonight."
"??"
the other side? The princess had already spoken to the high priest through Mo Yun's translator, "I am the third princess of Qi Kingdom? I have heard about your situation from Ai Li. Welcome to Jinxia City."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for allowing me to dock. I am the elder of Noah's Tree Boat and the high priest of World Island. I can make decisions on everything discussed in this meeting."
"That's very good. But having said that, your dressing habits are really... surprising."
"Do you like this dress? It is made of a special kind of vine on the island, which is breathable and stain-resistant. If you want, I can order one for you later."
"Uh... I don't think it's necessary."
"Although His Highness is not very old, he has potential at first glance. As long as he dresses up a little, he will definitely look stunning."
"Ahem, let's talk about the deal." Ning Wanjun showed a rare expression of being overwhelmed.
Xia Fan couldn't help but have a thought in his mind - in the competition on the female level, the princess lost.
"Indeed, business should come first at this time." Senia smiled softly, and then handed over a brochure, "Compared with the rich supplies on the World Island, the things that can be traded on Noah's tree boat are really not enough. Many, I wrote them all here. If Your Highness has any needs or questions, you can ask them."
The princess opened the book and scanned two pages, then handed the booklet directly to Xia Fan, "You decide, I believe no one here has better taste than you."
Senia looked at the "CEO" thoughtfully.
Xia Fan naturally would not shirk at this time. He skipped the common gold, silver, jewelry and other items and went straight to the tree spirit seeds.
It can be seen that the elves have put a lot of effort into this list. Not only is it equipped with detailed pictures of the actual objects, but the general functions and functions are also expressed in the form of comic strips. Even if the two parties do not understand the language, they can easily understand the contents in the booklet. He now knew that Ai Li's behavior of starting to draw while talking turned out to be traditional.
Some of the products listed above really aroused Xia Fan's interest, such as the "fast-growing vines" used to build houses, and the "rainwater collection grass" that can absorb water and spit out water on its own. From a plant perspective, it is novel and wonderful. However, he also noticed that the uses of these products were basically described according to Shuzhou's needs and could not be used as a final reference.
So Xia Fan quickly closed the book and turned to look at Senia.
"Oh? Have you decided so quickly?" the latter said slightly surprised.
"Well, as long as it's related to seeds, let's have a copy of everything first."
