Chapter 3187: Master Aifuruisi Provides Support

Although one can receive a commission for introducing anyone, human social relationships always have varying degrees of closeness, and the Mairide Family is the one Xia Duo is most familiar with and closest to in Calimshan.

Therefore, he recommended the Mairide Family directly, and the most convenient part is that Talafu, as the Calimshan Observer stationed in the Northland, is currently in Evereska.

As long as Evereska is interested, it is possible to reach an agreement tomorrow or even tonight.

Laruian readily accepted Xia Duo's recommendation; in fact, he had been paying attention to the situation in that regard ever since Yierlan began preparing to build an Elemental Tower.

However, Evereska and Calimshan are far apart and have very little contact, and coupled with the fact that the Council of Elders had not made up their minds to develop at that time, they missed the best opportunity to establish ties with Calimshan.

But it is not too late now; as long as they obtain enough import channels for Energy Gems, they will not have to worry about being held hostage by any one country.

……

In the lounge, Xia Duo and Laruian were chatting about topics related to Elemental Gems when Wuerban hurried over. As soon as he arrived, he kept apologizing to Xia Duo while complaining to Laruian—

"Why didn't you tell me when you arrived! I was just talking to Ruigeante, but talking to him is nowhere near as important as coming over to welcome Consultant Xia Duo!"

"You don't need to worry, I have already discussed it with Consultant Xia Duo, striving to obtain a larger share of Arcane Crystals from Netheril, and at the same time, Consultant Xia Duo has introduced us to a powerful Elemental Gem exporter."

Under such circumstances, logically speaking, the ripening of crops would be greatly affected, or at the very least, they would not ripen at the same time as in the past.

In the end, although the Ascension to Godhood failed, many precious legacies were left behind, including the cold-resistant seeds that are now widely sown in the Northland.

Speaking of this, emotions other than calmness finally appeared on the face of Ka Lin An Te, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know how Master Aifuruisi created those seeds; it is simply a miracle!"

"Really? That would be great!"

Ka Lin An Te nodded imperceptibly, his attitude slightly cold, a scene that also made Xia Duo realize that tonight's meeting might not go as smoothly as he had anticipated.

"As for the Elemental Gems from Calimshan, I can give you a guarantee on that right now; the Mairide Family is definitely a powerful and trustworthy partner."

Laruian briefly stated the results of his discussion with Xia Duo, which served to resolve the social scene that had become a bit awkward due to Ge An Te's deliberate performance.

"What method is it?" Ka Lin An Te asked subconsciously, but he immediately realized how could the other party easily tell him the answer to such a question!

Ka Lin An Te is not from a professional Agricultural Mage background, but since becoming a Council Elder, he has invested a huge amount of time, energy, and even wealth into the field of agriculture over hundreds of years.

"Evereska has the most advanced agricultural Spells in the Northland, and also the most experienced Agricultural Mages in the Northland. If you and I cooperate, we will definitely be able to revitalize the agriculture in the Northland, which has become precarious under the threat of climate anomalies."

"Master Aifuruisi also mentioned a brand-new breeding method back then, and I feel that the cold-resistant seeds might have been cultivated and created using that method!"

At the same time, he also knew that Xia Duo was asking about the harvest of those cold-resistant seeds, so Ka Lin An Te thought for a moment and gave an answer—

Xia Duo had his reasons for asking this; previously, Master Aifuruisi of Netheril decided to ascend to godhood to completely solve the Northland's climate anomalies, and the Ascension Order he chose was agriculture under artificial intervention.

At the same time, Xia Duo also stood up to express his stance: "Evereska and Netheril are friendly neighbors. Although diplomatic relations were established late, it is more sincere compared to those with earlier establishment dates."

This has also created his status as one of the top Agricultural Mages in the Northland today. Precisely because he has studied the agricultural field so deeply, he knows better than the average Mage what kind of miracle those cold-resistant seeds are!

But since the words were already out, he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "I wonder what kind of method Master Aifuruisi left behind? If you are willing, I can represent Evereska and Netheril to conduct joint research."

"Elder Ka Lin An Te, nice to meet you!" Xia Duo took the initiative to greet him.

"Midsummer Festival is coming soon, and the crops outside the Mythallar have already been harvested one after another. I wonder how the harvest in Evereska is this year?"

Although he said that, Xia Duo actually thought that Ka Lin An Te would prefer to meet after the banquet, but he really couldn't wait, and the reason was also very sufficient.

Evereska's agriculture, although largely dependent on the Mythallar and Druids, has never lacked farmland in natural environments.

The Ka Lin An Te before him had a calm face and a solemn expression, and the dim sunset dyed his originally gray hair gold. For a moment, Xia Duo almost didn't recognize him.

Although it is already the end of the month, this time of year is usually the hottest time of the year, and this year is no exception, but the impact of climate anomalies still exists, which means that this year's Midsummer is much cooler than in previous years.

Such an environment does not seem suitable for discussing serious matters, and perhaps that is why Ge An Te arranged for Xia Duo and Ka Lin An Te to be here, to dilute the tense atmosphere of the conversation.

Thus, Ge An Te immediately made arrangements and, together with Laruian, personally brought Xia Duo to a relatively quiet courtyard. It was dusk, and the sunset illuminated the entire courtyard in a dim golden light.

"I was fortunate enough to have an exchange with Master Aifuruisi regarding agriculture once. The Master's guidance benefited me greatly, and I still feel grateful for it to this day."

Upon hearing that Xia Duo could not promise to increase Netheril's export of Arcane Crystals to Evereska, a flash of disappointment inevitably appeared in Ge An Te's eyes, but upon hearing that there were other channels, his joy was immediately evident.

"It is a pity that the Master failed in his Ascension to Godhood and his soul returned to a foreign realm; otherwise, I would have personally gone to Netheril to ask for his advice and learn from him in person."

"By the way, I almost forgot the main business. Consultant Xia Duo, I have already arranged things on Ka Lin An Te's side. Do you want to go now, or wait until after the banquet? Rest assured, today's banquet will definitely not go past midnight."

The reason why crops in natural environments can still ripen at the same time as in previous years is because cold-resistant seeds were used.

And in this regard, Xia Duo asked the right Elf; as the Elder in charge of Evereska's agricultural field, Ka Lin An Te has absolute authority.

"Let's go now. Since you have already communicated with the other party, I cannot be too impolite; let's not keep them waiting too long."

"Cold-resistant seeds are slightly worse in yield than conventional seeds. Judging from Evereska's harvest this year, it is about five percent less, but considering how much the yield of conventional seeds would be greatly reduced if planted this year, by comparison, the cold-resistant seeds appear exceptionally precious!"

In an instant, Xia Duo's mind raced, and he decided to say something else to ease the atmosphere, starting with the agriculture the other party was most proficient in!

"Nice to meet you, Consultant Xia Duo."

"I personally support exporting more Arcane Crystals to Evereska, but I alone cannot sway the decision of the Seven Cities Council. Please forgive me for being unable to give a definitive promise here."

Thus, Xia Duo pinned the title of the initiator of the selection and breeding technology he brought from his hometown onto Aifuruisi, and even left a hook—
