Chapter 1016 - 603: Black Dragon Collaborates with Pirates
Elf Capital,
After Rosde returned from Jade City, he immediately went to the Elf Palace and told Lord Haddad all of Lis’s demands this time.
Actually, the demands Lis put forward this time were truly too many, even though he was a Legendary Strongman, he didn’t dare to agree lightly.
In fact, even the two-tenths of Extraordinary Materials he agreed to before needed Haddad’s approval.
After learning about Lis’s demands from Rosde, Haddad also fell into silence, his gaze lingering on the prosperous Elf Capital in the distance, not responding for a moment.
Rosde stood behind Haddad, somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected this to make Lord Haddad so hesitant, unsure of what he was considering.
For him, the amount of Extraordinary Materials to support Lis wasn’t important, and although he didn’t like Humans, he still recognized Lis as the Elf Sage.
Just like Haddad mentioned when communicating with him before, for the current Elf Kingdom, Lis indeed needed to bring changes to the entire Elf Forest.
He didn’t want to see the Elf Capital Andor City, like the Elf Royal Court, be completely destroyed in a blink.
If he had heard such a possibility before, Rosde would have laughed at the ignorance of the person saying it.
The Elf Royal Court was watched over by the Elf Gods, had a dozen powerful Elf Legends, and had countless years of accumulation by the Elf Clan, how could it be suddenly destroyed?
But the facts slapped them in the face so harshly that every time the Day Elves of the Alorotti family made a decision, they remembered this, hesitating whether remaining as conservative as before would bring the same fate to the Elf Capital.
And precisely because of this, even though Lis’s demands were not very reasonable, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to part of them.
"Lord Haddad..."
After waiting for a long time, Rosde finally spoke to Haddad.
"Ah, Rosde, is there anything else?"
Haddad seemed to be disturbed, turned, and frowned at Rosde.
"There was nothing else, just the demands previously put forward by Sage Lis..."
Rosde shook his head, asking in a deep voice.
"Haven’t you already agreed?"
"Just do it this way, once these materials are ready, you will deliver them to Sage Lis."
Haddad looked at Rosde, speaking without the slightest hesitation.
"This..."
Rosde looked at Lord Haddad in surprise, somewhat confused.
He wasn’t puzzled about why Haddad agreed to Lis’s demands, but it was obvious that Haddad didn’t really pay this matter much mind.
Seeing Rosde somewhat unable to understand, Haddad shook his head slightly, sitting down and gesturing for Rosde to also sit in front of him.
"You seem puzzled why I agreed so decisively?"
"Indeed, as it equates to the wealth accumulated by several Legendary figures."
Rosde nodded, sitting in front of Haddad.
Haddad’s tone seemed lecturing, but Rosde didn’t mind.
After all, it was true, Haddad was indeed his teacher, greatly aiding him on the path to becoming a Legend.
"Yes, this amount of materials is indeed considerable, even I need to take it seriously, but it depends on the situation."
Haddad sighed deeply, asking Rosde:
"Even though I am the King of the Elf Kingdom, Alorotti has also mastered the Elf Capital; as the Elf City with the longest tradition in the Elf Forest, the wealth of the Elf Royal Court Jonor City and the Illiser Family is not inferior to ours."
"But where are they now?"
"...I understand, Your Majesty."
Rosde was not foolish, quickly understanding Haddad’s point.
Wealth and materials are undoubtedly important, but it depends on the timing.
And now, with Demon Prince Demogorgon already acting to destroy the Elf Royal Court, even the World Tree Yggdrasil being polluted by his use of Abyss Power.
It was clear that Demon Prince Demogorgon’s schemes were not limited to this.
At this timing, the entire Elf Kingdom could easily fall into extreme danger,
Compared to this, some wealth and materials are not that important to the Elf Kingdom.
Furthermore, what is needed is the aid of Lis as the World Tree Sage, which the Elf Kingdom desperately needs now.
"Besides, I’m also curious why Lis would suddenly do this?"
Haddad tapped the back of the chair with his right hand, speaking thoughtfully.
"You mean?"
Rosde was a bit unclear, looking at the Family Head of the Alorotti family in front of him.
"I have met this World Tree Favored before, and it’s clear he’s not a greedy person."
"Even as the World Tree Sage, he hadn’t previously asked us for any Extraordinary Materials."
"Why suddenly make this demand?"
"Is it because he broke through to being a Legend? I find that unlikely."
Haddad pondered, feeling that Lis must have other motives.
Just like when Lis established [Nature’s Wrath] before, he didn’t make any excessive demands on the Elf Kingdom, and most of it was supported by the Elf Council in Jade City.
At that time, if Lis had the intent to accumulate wealth, he could have asked the Elf Kingdom for additional resources, and Haddad wouldn’t have minded.
"You mean, Sage Lis is not seeking to obtain these Extraordinary Materials, but he needs them for something, hence he made the request to us."
