Chapter 567 Conversation between Three People
"Your temperament has changed a lot."
Caesar thought about it and said this.
"uh-huh."
Irena nodded noncommittally.
"Where are you now? Are you still in Clam Heart City?"
She asked.
"Yes, we plan to rest here for one night and return to the caravan tomorrow to see how to plan the next route."
Caesar explained honestly.
"Where do we go?"
Irena looked at Caesar and said.
"There is no plan yet. The sea of fog has not dissipated yet, and many places are not easy to walk. Fu Fu and her tribe's caravan have many things they plan to purchase on the way back, but they haven't found any yet."
"I don't know much about these things. I'll have to rely on Uncle Lijia's arrangements. I'll just be responsible for taking action when needed."
Fudan was quite open-minded and spread her hands as if she didn't care.
She actually didn't quite understand these things and was too lazy to understand them.
In fact, this is the reason why she came out with the caravan this time.
She's just a thug.
As for the caravan, it's totally impossible to let her manage it. Uncle Lijia has to do it.
"Approximately how many of you are there?"
After hesitating for a moment, Irena spoke.
"There are quite a few people, several thousand. If you split them up, it would be a very large team."
Caesar said so.
Strictly speaking, he knew much more about this caravan than Fudan.
He also helped much more than Fudan.
It must be said that Uncle Lijia really didn't treat him as an outsider.
Tell him everything and show him everything.
They would discuss with him the account books, various details, and even any problems with the smuggled goods.
As for the last one, Caesar didn’t know what to say.
The elves' current territory is not their original homeland.
They were defeated in a great war a long time ago, and had no choice but to leave their homeland and come to live in the Demon Continent.
However, the land there is not as fertile as their original territory. Although it is barely enough to maintain daily life, the monster resources and mineral resources are too scarce.
It is almost impossible to develop.
Many of the forging techniques and magic array engraving skills passed down by the ancient elves cannot be used due to the lack of raw materials.
There is no other way. If you want it, you can only import it from Ornn.
However, due to restrictions from Ornn, foreign caravans like theirs were not qualified to purchase the goods. As a result, Uncle Lijia somehow managed to purchase a large batch of goods and brought them out.
Since the conditions for preserving many magic materials are quite harsh, the loss along the way was quite large, so he found Caesar and asked if there was any way to preserve these materials.
What I mean is that although he has no connection with the royal family of Ornn, he has no sense of belonging to this country.
But smuggling these goods is illegal, right?
If I ask myself this question, it would be a bit too much of a mistake to consider myself an outsider.
Caesar was somewhat helpless, but still answered his question.
“Are there many people?”
Irena seemed interested when she heard this.
"If I can, maybe I can help."
She said so.
"You are worried that you can't travel normally under the interference of the sea of fog, right? But I have a way to let you pass through the sea of fog easily. It depends on where you plan to go next. Do you want to go directly back to the Demon Continent? Or transfer from the Nangger Plateau?"
"Well, that's not certain. We'll have to see what Uncle Lijia thinks. After all, he is the manager of the caravan."
Caesar did not agree immediately.
"That's it."
Irena rolled her eyes.
"The most important thing now is to get the caravan moving. After all, every day of delay means one more day of loss, and their families will worry one more day."
After all, every business trip was a very dangerous one. Not every time there was a legendary strongman like Fudan leading the team. One had to face the dilemma of being unfamiliar with the place, the threat of monsters, and the trouble of money.
Every bit you save means you can bring more back to your people.
That's how it was, and everyone in the caravan lived a very poor life.
It was that the merchants were in a better situation this time, because they encountered such magical turbulence and the existence of a restricted area that blocked Ornn's north-south trading route, which allowed everyone to successfully sell the goods they brought at a high price.
It is no exaggeration to say that the money brought back this time is enough to ensure that the caravan does not have to go out for business for decades.
"Well... let's do this."
Irena thought about it and said so.
"Can your caravan do me a favor? In exchange, I will help you solve the problem of the sea of fog."
"What's the deal?"
Caesar did not agree immediately, but asked.
After all, it wasn't just his caravan, so it was not easy for him to make the decision.
Of course, he knew that if he asked, Uncle Lijia would definitely agree, but that would be a bit of a waste of favors.
It would be better to ask. If it doesn't work, he will find a way to help Irena himself, but he won't need the help of the caravan.
"It's not a big deal, just bring me something back."
Irena said this with a wink.
"If that's all, there shouldn't be any problem."
Caesar nodded.
"When the time comes, I will send someone to pick you up. We will probably be there tomorrow. That's it."
Irena stopped talking about the subject and left it at that.
She decided.
I'll give them both a surprise then.
Let’s not talk about that for now.
"Speaking of which, why did Caesar want to go to the Demon Continent with Fufu this time?"
Irena asked, staring at the two of them closely.
It seemed as if he wanted to take in all the expressions on their faces.
"There's something to do."
Without waiting for Caesar to reply, Fudan felt a little guilty for some reason, so she spoke first.
"Something? What is it?"
Irena tilted her head and asked.
"Well...it's just...it's just...Xize is doing some research on the above matters. I'm not really sure."
Fudan said so.
"It's his invention called [Magic Lightning], he has been researching these things recently."
She said this, trying to brush it off.
"[Magic Lightning]? Oh, that's it, I remember it."
Irena nodded and said so.
"It seems like a very powerful invention. If the research is successful, the value of this witch's conference table will probably plummet."
Irena looked at Fudan deeply and said this.
