Chapter 107
Soon, four blood elf mages from Silvermoon City were brought before Luode and Sylvanas.
"Greetings, great Banshee Queen, Regent Lord of the Blood Elves, and Prince Kael'thas, let us greet you." One of the mages stepped forward and said.
"Hmm! You came this time to discuss cooperation, right?" Sylvanas asked.
"Yes, honorable Banshee Queen and Mr. Luode, that miraculous cloud you gave us is indeed very useful." A blood elf mage following behind said.
After this miraculous red cloud was brought back to Silvermoon City, these mages conducted some research and experiments.
Storing this cloud is not difficult; it only requires a specific magical item.
Even when these special clouds are exposed to the air, they persist for a while, dissipating after about a few hours.
Various miraculous clouds possess a levitating energy that can act upon objects, causing them to fly high into the sky.
The mages of Silvermoon City conducted some experiments, even sending some of the clouds to Prince Kael'thas, who was far away at Stormspire in Outland.
Whether the Regent Lord or the Prince, they reached the same conclusion: properly instruct Mr. Luode and obtain as much of this special cloud as possible.
After all, the clouds Luode previously gave for experiments have been used up; to continue research, more of these clouds are needed.
"I am personally very willing to cooperate, to develop this special cloud together. I don't know what price your Silvermoon City blood elves can offer." Luode asked.
It even startled Prince Kael'thas, though the current Kael'thas likely still doesn't know his true identity.
After all, the Legion didn't take a liking to me; it merely had me hand over this special spatial energy to Prince Kael'thas.
In the Legion's eyes, I am merely an insignificant nobody.
"Respected Mr. Luode and Banshee Queen, who among you two can have the final say on this matter?" At this point, a blood elf mage asked.
"After all, negotiations need a person in charge; I need to know who's in charge here." "Luode can fully represent me; feel free to discuss." Sylvanas said.
Several blood elf mages hearing this showed a hint of surprise; the former Windrunner Ranger General, now the Banshee Queen Sylvanas, actually chose to let this man fully represent her? "Mr. Luode! These special clouds can be made into a floating city fortress. If you are willing to cooperate with us, afterward we can help you modify a floating city fortress, and then you just need to provide us with this special cloud." A blood elf mage said.
A special cloud's greatest ability is levitation, so it can be used to produce personal levitation equipment, group levitation devices, personal levitation mounts; in the World of Azeroth such things already exist, so there's no need to research this cloud for personal flight gear—thus the most cost-effective option is naturally a floating city.
A massive flying fortress would still be imposing; if Silvermoon City had a flying fortress, it would also be a good thing for all its blood elf citizens.
The few mages maintaining the portal at the time personally witnessed how Kaido used this special cloud to lift the entire Hellfire Citadel!
Not only Hellfire Citadel, but also some surrounding lands and the small fortresses of Hellfire Peninsula were lifted by this flame cloud.
As long as the quantity is sufficient, plus some magical technological assistance, constructing a floating fortress poses no great difficulty.
"I'll provide this special cloud, and you'll craft a floating city for me—how does that look? It seems I'm the one at a disadvantage!" Luode said.
"Mr. Luode, do you have any other requests? Please let me know." The mage representative bowed to Luode and said.
If this were the former high elves, they would never be so courteous when speaking to a human.
But now there's no choice; their race has declined, with over sixty percent of their inhabitants having perished in that disaster.
Now the entire high elf race numbers only a few hundred thousand, incomparable to the previous million-strong population; now they must learn to humble themselves, after all even their prince could ally with a demon hunter. (At this time, the Silvermoon City leadership did not know that Prince Kael'thas had already allied with the Burning Legion.) "This special cloud energy will serve as a consumable, which I will sell to you of Silvermoon City; you must pay money or provide other materials to purchase it." Luode said.
Supplying you is no problem, but it's not free; you must pay to purchase it.
"Mr. Luode, if you suggest we purchase it, I don't know how the price would be calculated," said a mage from Silvermoon City. "The price is easy to discuss; besides gold coins, various rare magical items, special energy, alchemical potions, and even you blood elf mages coming to work for me can earn this as compensation." Luode said.
If the floating project is successfully established, then the Horde side at least needs to build three of them, after all, as the leader of the Horde race, the orcs need to obtain one, the blood elves helping with research need to obtain one, and the Undercity side needs to obtain one.
"We understand, Mr. Luode, I don't know if you're interested in some holy light energy; our Prince Kael'thas has captured a miraculous holy light creature from the outer realm, which contains an endless supply of holy light energy inside it; we might be able to use this special holy light energy and condense trade."
"Besides that, the Prince in the outer realm also used void energy to refine a very special void void energy block; if you are interested, we can also use this to trade with you." said the blood elf representative mage.
Recently, the Prince has sent back many good things from the outer realm; besides a certain holy light creature, there is also a kind of void void energy crystal, which is a kind of void energy refined from void energy in the Storm Fortress.
These special energy crystals have been transported back to Silvermoon City in some amount, greatly alleviating the magic addiction symptoms of some ordinary residents.
"Void energy blocks can be traded some; as for holy light energy, do you have something that can store holy light energy?" Luode asked.
This extracted holy light energy is a way of forcibly using holy light; perhaps Luode can bring this power to the pirate world and then see if it will not will happen some strange effects.
As for the void energy block, it is a very portable energy source; for the blood elf race, it can very well solve their magic addiction problem.
For Luode, it is also an excellent energy, and I can be a mentor! Taking these void energy blocks to the Marvel world might possibly attract Iron Man's attention.
After all, in my own time-travel timeline, a certain Iron Man is currently worrying about energy matters, and even if he solves the energy problem, this brand-new void energy, I believe, will definitely interest Iron Man.
"We have magical tools for storing holy light energy; if you are willing, we can trade. We have already made a device that can, use store this Flame Cloud's magical device; once installed, we can immediately start building the floating city." said the blood elf mage.
"Then it's settled; equal value of holy light energy or void energy blocks exchanged for equal value of Flame Cloud, we can have long-term trade." Luode said.
All four blood elf mages nodded in satisfaction; then both sides settled some detailed issues, and several mages immediately set off, returning to Silvermoon City to report the results of this negotiation.
Soon after, some blood elf mages will bring some special magical equipment, as well as void energy blocks and holy light energy blocks, to help Undercity assemble a floating fortress.
At the same time, Luode's side also guarantees to provide sufficient Flame Cloud.
Anyway, as long as stamina is sufficient, I'll make as much of this thing as you need; I'll drink stamina potions while making it for you.
"It looks like we will soon have a floating fortress; I never expected that Kael'thas could actually find a special holy light life in the outer realm, and also that kind of void energy block refined using void energy." (In the Storm Fortress dungeon group, there is indeed this special void energy block; this item is not fabricated by the author.) "I estimate that their way of storing my Flame Cloud should also be compressing it into energy blocks, after all, this technology has already been obtained by the blood elves." Luode said.
Simply storing with magical tools really takes up too much space; it's still most convenient to compress into solid energy blocks.
"Oh! You don't want this technology?" Sylvanas asked.
Given this kid's personality, after learning about this technology, he should definitely go all out to obtain it.
"What I provide is only energy, not technology; the blood elf race has energy of equal value, and there are two kinds to exchange with me, so I will not raise the price for now." Luode said, smiling.
As for holy light energy, the blood elf race probably won't be able to deliver it for much longer, after all, a certain Naaru is about to be drained dry.
As for the void energy blocks refined from the Storm Fortress, once the Storm Fortress is captured, it's uncertain whether it will belong to the blood elf race.
Moreover, leaving the Storm Fortress's location, there isn't that abundant void energy to let them compress energy blocks.
By then, if you don't have equivalent-value trade items, I will naturally trade something else.
However, you must first build the floating city, and then you cannot do without this energy of mine.
