Great Nobleman

This evening, the gathering place on the northeastern edge of the elemental storm.

Mr. Cecil, who was wearing a gorgeous mage robe and followed by a convoy of dozens of people, led the way into the entrance of the gathering place.

Led by servants waiting in advance near the entrance.

The old man came all the way to a secluded hotel.

Immediately afterwards, he met Mr. Claude who was counting the harvest in a certain room here.

After a brief hello.

Mr. Claude, who was sitting on the chair, dug out a thumb-sized dark blue rhombus crystal from the pile of materials in front of him.

After throwing it to Lord Cecil, Lord Claude said:

“The elements in the central area of ​​the elemental storm are very dense, and there are three elements of wind, water, and earth mixed in it.

My perception was greatly hindered.

I wandered there for a day and a half.

In the end, I only found such a small water attribute crystal.

If I had known better, I would have retreated directly to the middle area of ​​the elemental storm where the perception is clearer.

Find materials with the other two properties. "

While saying this, Mr. Claude continued to sort and classify the large pile of materials on the table in front of him in a happy mood.

Mr. Cecil, on the other hand, took over the spar and examined it carefully.

He smiled and said:

"Blue Crystal, one of the top water-based materials, has excellent magic adaptability.

It is a top-notch creation suitable for many mages' professional disciplines. Many water-attribute artifacts in the Farnes Continent contain such materials!

Additionally, it is usually found only in deep ocean areas.

Since most areas of the Human Alliance are inland environments, there are only a handful of areas bordering the ocean.

This also means that this deep blue crystal has a higher value to us! "

Master Claude shook his head and said:

“That is to say, the mages of your Chesil family are more inclined to the water attribute.

There are more applications for materials with this property.

This top-notch material ends up being thrown into the warehouse to eat dust because there are few professional subject masters who can play its role.

It may not be able to be used for many years! "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cecil smiled and said:

"You are wrong about this!

We don’t have the means to fully utilize this top-notch material.

However, if the same equipment is made with better materials, the effect of the equipment will be much stronger, right?

I am planning to upgrade my equipment through this method. "

Hearing this, Mr. Claude couldn't help but paused in his movements, then smiled and joked:

"You are so extravagant and wasteful!"

Mr. Cecil spread his hands and said:

"That's better than letting it sit in a warehouse and gathering dust. Moreover, with the Pioneering War coming soon, a little improvement in strength can be said to be extremely precious. There must always be a choice!"

After throwing the gem in his hand back to Master Claude.

Mr. Cecil said meaningfully:

"By the way, when the mission is over, our blank screen will have to be returned. By then we will have no movable blank screen to use."

Although this statement is a bit confusing.

But Mr. Claude answered the words very naturally:

“Isn’t Brand’s home decorated?

After the mission was over, we just happened to bring a few other old guys from the Pioneer Corps over to get together and negotiate with Brand. "

For Lord Claude's proposal, Lord Cecil quickly expressed his approval.

Then, he smiled and said:

"By the way, I heard you say last time that Brand was also hunting for treasure in the Moraiton Desert, right?

Let's see how many treasures this guy found in the elemental storm! "

While saying this, Mr. Cecil also took out the empty screen from his magic pocket.

After letting himself sink into the soft seat, he sent a communication request to Brand.

While waiting for Brand's consent.

Mr. Claude couldn't help but said curiously:

“Brand has been in the elemental storm area for many days.

At the beginning, he asked me about the situation, but later there was no news. "

Mr. Cecil guessed happily:

“Perhaps it’s because the harvest is too little, which makes him feel embarrassed, so he wants to show off to you after he gains something!

Although he has a high talent in the wind attribute, this elemental storm is not just a wind attribute elemental storm.

With his strength as a junior mage, his range of perception is bound to be relatively narrow.

In this way, his gains are obviously incomparable to yours! "

Hearing this, Mr. Claude couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then nodded in agreement:

"That should be it!

Although Brand is a genius, he is only a junior mage after all, and there are always things he cannot do.

We need to comfort ourselves in a while!

We can't let him be beaten to the point of losing his confidence! "

As the two chatted happily, Brand also agreed to the communication request, and a picture quickly appeared on the magic crystal screen in front of them.

I saw it illuminated by bright magic lights.

Brand, who was sitting on an animal skin chair, was greeting them with a smile.

Next to him is a dining table covered with luxurious tablecloths, and Catherine and Hisali are clearing away the exquisite tableware on it.

It could be seen that they were enjoying dinner just now.

Behind Brand is a large transparent fish tank that is as tall as a person and several meters wide.

Groups of pure white fish with white shimmering bodies are flapping their soft, slender, gossamer-like fins, dancing gracefully in the fish tank filled with dark blue liquid.

The bottom of the fish tank is also filled with large and small "decorative" crystals, stones, sand, and various shimmering underwater plants.

At first, the two elders were just surprised by this beautiful scene that was incompatible with the elemental storm.

And it is believed that Brand should have left the area of ​​the elemental storm by now.

And then, after taking a closer look at the scene in the fish tank.

The two of them frowned unconsciously!

Stand up, walk near the empty screen, and carefully examine the materials at the bottom of the fish tank.

Especially the pile of randomly placed rhombus crystals in the corner that look "familiar".

A strong sense of doubt and confusion arose spontaneously!

After they opened their eyes of insight, they saw the entire fish tank filled with extremely rich water elements and a small amount of light elements.

Their faces were quickly filled with disbelief!

On Brand's side, he saw two big men looking at the fish tank behind him and ignoring his greetings.

He couldn't help but turn the empty screen in front of him at an angle, so that the fish tank was out of sight of the two elders, and it also allowed the two elders to wake up.

As the perspective of the empty screen turned, the two elders discovered that Brand was in a spacious and flat cave specially dug.

Everywhere inside the cave and the exits are covered by several layers of barriers, and the exits are guarded by two large knight golems.

What surprised the two elders was:

Outside the barrier at the entrance of the cave, a continuous stream of rapid water swept upwards from left to right!

Seeing such a scene, Master Claude asked:

"Brand, are you in a cave with a stone wall now?

Is that the elemental tornado in the central area of ​​the elemental storm outside? "

Seeing that the old man finally reacted, Brand nodded and explained:

"Yes, there is indeed the elemental tornado in the central area outside.

This location is closer to the bottom of the underground lake.

Outside the cave is a lake swept up by an elemental tornado!

Just like what you see now! "
