Chapter 388 The Correct Way to Persuade a Card Player to Go on a Business Trip

"That would be great if it were true!"

Floating up from his chair with excitement, the djinn envoy seemed quite satisfied with the proposal.

The current output of the Cloud Giants is limited by the acquisition rate of the brains of various monsters. If they obtain this technology, they will soon be able to catch up with them.

But after getting excited, the envoy quickly remembered one more thing.

Technology is something that will be leaked. If Cloud Giant also gets it, then they really won't be able to keep up even if they try to catch up.

Thinking of this, he looked at Karl, weighed his tone and asked: "Then what price do we have to pay so that you can help us hide this technology temporarily?"

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Karl did not speak loudly, but replied: "Providing customers with such convenience is after-sales service. At least until you think it can be announced, I will not disclose any information, but... There is something that I might need your help to pay attention to.”

At this point, the envoy didn't know what Karl meant, so he pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "You tell me first, if it's not a big deal, we can definitely help you handle it."

"Big or small, you know, I am from Akanix Academy in the main plane. The reason why I came to the air elemental plane is because I was sucked into an alien vortex while studying the giant ruins. Got in.

According to speculation, the area I was in at the time concealed the Eternal Forge built under the auspices of the Titan Emperor. "

When Karl mentioned the words of the Eternal Forge, the envoy's face clearly showed a blank look. The basic education of the sylphs obviously would not inform them of the glorious history of the ancient giants.

For this reason, Karl specifically explained: "The reason why the cloud giant came to the air elemental plane is probably to pursue this relic of the ancestors. It is an endless energy source and has powerful power that can easily destroy most of the continent. And now , all the forces from the main plane are coming for this.”

Hearing this, the Wind Djinn Envoy felt that his breathing became heavier.

This is obviously quite worthwhile news. Just by bringing this news back, the elders of the Wind Djinn might promote him.

However, after the moment of excitement passed, the envoy was a little confused as to why Karl told him the news.

Aware of the envoy's thoughts, Karl explained in time: "Although I have not really touched the eternal furnace, I have also noticed some of its characteristics. After a long period of time, it has almost completely taken root in the air element. The plane cannot be moved easily.

This is good, at least no one can monopolize it, or hide it and study it secretly.

What I want you to do is... hunt down those who are trying to reach the place where the Eternal Forge is located. Of course, it would be better if you can deal with the air pirates along the way. "

Looking at the envoy below, Karl controlled the mecha with a smile on his face.

This is something he has been planning since he came to Eclipse Port. After all, he was forced into the palace by the group of people from the main plane. How could Karl not want revenge?

The purpose of handing over the war beast technology to the Wind Djinn and Cloud Giants is to strengthen their strength so that they can send manpower to deal with those who covet the eternal furnace.

"Wouldn't it be bad if...it was a direct attack? Wouldn't this affect your relationship with those forces?"

Some green tea people asked this question, but even Karl could see the envoy's eagerness to give it a try.

"Of course it's okay if you're just adventurous or doing business, but many of them seem to be part-time pirates, burning, killing, and looting. It would be a shame for such guys to die."

Based on the attitude of the old wizards and warlocks in Tina's hometown to guard against thieves, it is estimated that their teleportation array code will be difficult to expose. In this way, Eclipse Port has become the city on the air elemental plane closest to the Eternal Furnace. .

If people from the main plane want to explore, the best way is to teleport here first, and then buy an airship to go to the target.

Although Stormwind Fortress also meets the requirements, it is a fortress itself and is heavily guarded. Eclipse Port is more suitable.

Yes, what Carl is currently doing is trying to make Eclipse Port a place similar to the Shampoo Islands in "One Piece".

The wind giants, cloud giants, and war beasts are the "navy" he prepared for those who covet the eternal furnace.

"No problem! Eclipse Port has been cleaning up the waterway regularly. Now with the war beast technology you provided, even ordinary professionals can do this kind of work!"

Rubbing his hands together, the Wind Giant envoy immediately agreed.

The Eternal Furnace has been fixed on the air elemental plane, so don’t they, the wind djinn, get to the moon first if they are near the water?

This is not helping Karl! This is clearly guarding their own treasure!

The common interests of both parties were determined, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

After finalizing the matter of finding necromancer talents for the djinn, the other party left the spacecraft happily.

"You're not afraid that Teacher Morban will come here to trouble you after he finds out about this! The people who want to study the Eternal Furnace the most right now are probably the people from your Tower of Strange Equipment!"

After the djinn left, Nia and others walked out of the room at the back. Although everyone was a little worried about Karl's behavior that hindered the exploration of major forces in the main plane, they generally felt very satisfied.

"Hmph! Always thinking about relying on archeology to develop technology is the tragedy of an artificer! Master and the others will understand me!"

Having said this vowedly, Karl walked out of the mecha, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior at all.

In the corner, Mitrice muttered in a low voice: "If you don't let others find it, you will see it every night. What a double standard dog!"

Ignoring Mitrice's slander, Karl returned to his study, wrote a letter to Joanna, and asked Udyr to hand it over.

…

Main plane, Storm Bay.

Because of the Eternal Furnace, the Age of Discovery in the Air Elemental Plane began. Powerful adventurers and adventure groups accepted funding from major forces and traveled to the Air Elemental Plane for free travel.

This directly led to the decrease in the number of high-level adventurers in Storm Bay.

However, thanks to its geographical advantages and reasonable systems, Storm Bay is still the most popular adventure area in the main plane.

On Thursday morning, Joanna had just finished dealing with the recent incident and was about to go to the newly opened dessert shop nearby to taste the other party's signature dessert when she suddenly received a letter from Karl.

Although Carl is currently unable to return to the main plane, Joanna still respects this "old leader".

After removing the magic paint from the letter, she unfolded the letter and began to read its contents.

"Mr. Karl wants to hire Tumu to help at the Eclipse Port in the air elemental plane. The reward is to provide Velena with exclusive war beast manufacturing technology, huh~"

Frowning slightly, Joanna seemed to be in a rather difficult state.

Getting up from the comfortable chair, she turned her head and looked at the street outside the city hall.

On the not-so-busy surface, portraits of the top three and currently the most popular contestants of the first Spirit King Competition are hanging on the landmark buildings.

And in the most dazzling position, the phantom of Tumu, restored using the special techniques of the illusion school, is floating on the flag, accepting the admiration of all the spirit card players.

There is no doubt that the other party can now be said to be a popular fried chicken.

"Ugh~, just using technology as a trade should be difficult to impress these die-hard guys, at least it's hard to impress my brother... By the way, I heard that the soul card will have strange changes because the material acquisition target is in different areas, even if It’s the monitor lizard spirit, which can also be divided into northern monitor lizard and southern monitor lizard… It seems that you can use this to lure them.”

Thinking of this, Joanna quickly walked out of her office.

As her personal bodyguard, Kasha followed immediately.

"Kasha, Mr. Karl is in the air elemental plane now. Do you want to go there and take a look?"

Looking back at her cousin, Joanna asked tentatively in a chatting tone.

She knew very well that her brother and that Tumu were both avid fans of the Soul Card Game, and in some aspects, their personalities and ideas were highly consistent.

"Ah? The Air Elemental Plane? What's the best place to go to in that kind of place? I heard it's hard to see people even after flying hundreds of kilometers, and no one can play cards with me there."

The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and Joanna felt that the last half of her sentence was the real reason why Kasha didn't want to go.

"No! Do you remember Udyr? He is in the air elemental plane now. As an ambassador to promote the spirit card, I heard that he is very loved by the local residents there."

As she spoke, Joanna carefully observed her cousin's expression, trying to analyze something from it.

But she failed. Kasha was in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking. It seemed that even the answer just now was completely instinctive, without thinking at all.

Seeing this, Joanna puffed up her cheeks slightly, then pretended to sigh and said: "Oh~, I heard that the environment over there is very different from the main plane, and the monster materials over there can be used to create quite unique spirits. Where are the cards~”

"What! Really!"*2

Almost as soon as Joanna finished her emotion, two voices sounded in unison around her.

Joanna turned around and found that the other voice came from the target she planned to persuade later - Tumu.

For some unknown reason, this elf was dressed tightly, as if he was afraid of being recognized by others.

But his companion betrayed his identity.

"Ah! Ms. Kasha, Mr. Tumu, good morning!"

Joanna did not rush to explain things related to the spirit card, and greeted the other party in a ladylike manner.

The female elf Kasha also said hello, but Tumu and Kasha looked at Joanna eagerly, as if waiting for her to continue the previous topic.

But she still didn't let the two of them get what they wanted. Instead, she took out Karl's letter and handed it to Kasha.

"Mr. Karl hopes to invite you to the air elemental plane as a guest. He needs a Necromancy Master like Mr. Tumu to provide some technical support for the production of war beasts.

I think... the sylphs of the Air Elemental Plane should be happy to provide their researchers with some monster materials unique to the Air Elemental Plane while providing financial support.

After all, those materials are scraps at best. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Tumu had already snatched the letter from Kasha's hand.

"I'm going!" (tremor)
