Chapter 3307: The Possibility of Long-term Trade with the Kingdom of Radiance
After meeting with Laruian, Xia Duo gave the Evereska side one hour to consider.
Using such a short time to decide the future fate of a country is certainly somewhat rash, but if one has had a firm plan for the future from the very beginning, then even one minute is enough for a decision.
While waiting for the reply from Evereska, Xia Duo did not just wait idly; instead, he turned his consciousness back to his main body and summoned the Divine Envoys to descend within the Floating City.
If it were not for telling the prophecy to Evereska, he might have already brought the Divine Envoys into the territory of Yierlan by now; of course, it might not necessarily be Yierlan, as the Moonshadow Family could also be hiding elsewhere.
But he believed that the Moonshadow Family must know the core secrets of the Illuminati, and that one could pull out the radish and bring out the mud; starting by tracking the Moonshadow Family was, in fact, sounding the horn for the decisive battle.
Floating City, public square.
Xia Duo took out the Holy Book Holy Seal gifted by Divine Envoy Richi when he last visited the Kingdom of Radiance and initiated a call to Richi. At first, nothing happened in the square, and Xia Duo remained calm, continuing to wait.
As a result, in less than a minute, a strange yet familiar melody of a hymn reached his ears—distant, ethereal, yet with an extremely strong sense of presence.
This was the sign before the descent of a Law Book Divine Envoy. Subsequently, the hymn melody faded into a background sound with a weaker sense of presence, and a point of light suddenly appeared in mid-air in the square, followed immediately by that point of light rapidly expanding, turning into a portal composed of pure radiance.
It was bright but not dazzling, and behind the portal of light, a humanoid figure also composed of light gradually became distinct, until it became the Divine Envoy Waiqi whom Xia Duo recognized.
"Welcome, Divine Envoys, to the Main Plane."
"Likewise, Adamantine is also the material for weapons they loathe the most, and we usually choose to inject Abyssal Aura into Adamantine weapons, making them into Abyssal Weapons that other existences cannot utilize."
Xia Duo had a fairly good relationship with the two Divine Envoys, Taide and Waiqi, and although such personal friendship could not override Faith, it was enough to bring Xia Duo many conveniences.
Although Xia Duo had not personally been to the Eternal Night Battlefield, he had learned a lot of information about it through many Divine Envoys, some of which were even classified inside information that one might not necessarily understand even if one had been there personally.
Year after year of war, even if weapons could be purified and reforged, there would still be wear and tear, and there was one more point that Waiqi did not say, but Xia Duo could guess—
Hearing the two Divine Envoys sigh like this, he suddenly felt that the idea he had thought about but abandoned—conducting trade with the Kingdom of Darkness—might actually be possible!
Except for a very small number of Abysses rich in Adamantine, no force could sustain such consumption; if anyone could not understand the great power of the Lord of Radiance, then please let them go take a look at the Eternal Night Battlefield.
Waiqi did not directly answer whether the Kingdom of Radiance lacked Adamantine, but anyone who had some understanding of the Eternal Night Battlefield would understand the demand for Adamantine there.
And now, having confirmed the Kingdom of Radiance's demand for Adamantine from the mouth of Divine Envoy Waiqi, if it weren't for considering the perceptions of the Divine Envoys before him, Xia Duo would even want to laugh out loud.
And at this time, Divine Envoy Waiqi also spoke: "Indeed, apart from a very small number of Abysses, I have never heard of any city that was not built with Adamantine."
And now, with this team of Divine Envoys, Xia Duo felt he could do more things.
……
And besides Celestial Barley, Xia Duo had also discovered many things while in the Kingdom of Radiance that would be considered strategic materials on the Main Plane but appeared ordinary in the Kingdom of Radiance.
Regarding Xia Duo's confusion, it was still Waiqi who spoke to explain: "Adamantine is almost the best raw material for weapons, and the Endless Wilderness where the Kingdom of Radiance is located does not produce Adamantine. Currently, most of the Adamantine possessed by the Kingdom of Radiance is obtained from the Abyss Battlefield. Although demons act chaotically, they also possess a certain instinct for order; they also forge weapons and utilize weapons."
Yet, such strategic materials could be replaced by ordinary barley from the Licheng Weimian. Who could one reason with about this? Just saying that the environment of the Licheng Weimian is unique—one side of the water and soil nurtures one side of the people.
The Kingdom of Radiance can purify and reforge Abyssal Weapons, so can demons pollute and reforge the Divine Envoys' weapons for their own use? Obviously, that should also be possible.
After all, the Elves would prioritize domestic supply rather than selling to humans, and even if they bought them, it was unlikely they would use the best ones for export.
He had always wanted to find a characteristic product that could be traded with the Licheng Weimian long-term, but he himself could not think of what the Homeland of the Gods could still need from the Mortal Plane.
With such a comparison, where would he get the confidence to conduct long-term trade with the Kingdom of Radiance!
Instead, many ordinary products from the Licheng Weimian, if brought to the Main Plane, could become a local specialty. Taking the Celestial Barley that Xia Duo was most familiar with as an example, it could be produced even when the Great Xia Divine Kingdom was just a small village with only three or four people.
But when Divine Envoy Waiqi walked out of the portal of light, the portal did not close, but instead, Divine Envoy Taide, whom Xia Duo had known earlier, and other Divine Envoys under his command, walked out one after another.
These things could actually already be called strategic materials!
"Mage Xia Duo, is this your city? This is the first time I have seen such a wealthy city in the Mortal Plane!" Taide kept looking at the main structure of the city near the square, his eyes revealing deep envy.
Of course, this matter still had to be asked clearly; if the two Divine Envoys were just sighing and actually didn't need Adamantine at all, then it would be a waste.
At the very least, if someone else had come at this moment, it would be almost impossible to have any communication with the Divine Envoys, and perhaps even before this, they wouldn't have been able to summon the Divine Envoys down.
In other words, the existence of the Eternal Night Battlefield is a huge Adamantine black hole, continuously consuming the Adamantine reserves of the Licheng Weimian.
"Does the Kingdom of Radiance actually lack Adamantine?" Xia Duo was a bit curious. Previously, when he was in the Kingdom of Radiance, he had mostly understood the local customs and practices, rather than the abundance of materials.
"Currently, the weapons used by those combat Divine Envoys of the Kingdom of Radiance on the Eternal Night Battlefield are almost all from re-forging after purifying Abyssal Weapons."
Looking at this fully armed team of Divine Envoys, Xia Duo had a few more points of certainty about completely eliminating the Darkness Society; the existence of Divine Envoys was a huge variable that prophecy spells could absolutely not reach.
The endings of the Main Plane he had prophesied before were not very good; even if they defeated the Darkness Society, it would still cause huge damage to the Main Plane, but in those endings, there was no existence of Divine Envoys.
But this kind of ordinary barley that grows in the Licheng Weimian, once brought to the Main Plane, immediately became a treasure that could restore energy for a Spellcaster.
Generally speaking, things that can restore energy for a Spellcaster can be called treasures, such as high-quality Elf Fruit Wine, incense, etc., all of which require a high price to obtain, and sometimes even with money, one might not be able to buy them.
This so-called Celestial Barley, in the Endless Wilderness for a Reincarnator, is just like ordinary barley on the Main Plane for an ordinary person; it is very ordinary and common.
