Chapter 330: The Temptation of the Elf King

As a precious metal, dimeritium was very scarce in the past and was almost difficult to be bought by people on the market. Most of it was kept privately by sorcerers and nobles, belonging to the level of secret weapons, and could even be said to be family heirlooms.

However, since a few hundred years ago, some human residents migrated to Kovir and Poviss and established their own kingdoms there, this special metal gradually began to appear more on the market, and the quantity was more than ten times that of the past.

Not only could some rich merchants have channels to buy these precious metals, but even some civilians could get some through special channels.

The outflow of these dimeritium metals threatened the status of the spellcaster class and also let human rulers see the hope of resisting spellcasters.

The attitudes of both greatly strengthened the popularity of this magic metal and also let the Kingdom of Kovir and Poviss make a lot of money.

According to the research of mineral scholars, although the reserves of dimeritium in other kingdoms were quite scarce, in Kovir and Poviss, they possessed the world's largest dimeritium vein, and about 90% of the dimeritium on the entire continent was hidden there. This was also why dimeritium was circulating more and more frequently on the market now.

However, even so, this was also an extremely expensive metal, with a value comparable to gold of the same weight, and it had always been in a state of short supply, rarely circulating in large quantities on the market.

Even with Wayne's financial resources, he could only monopolize most of the sources of goods on the market, and the quantity obtained was not enough to forge armor for the giants.

And the effect of this metal was range-based, and it did not need to be integrated into the armor. Only a magic amulet needed to be worn to defend against most magic attacks.

Otherwise, if one wanted to forge full-body armor with this metal, I'm afraid its cost would break through the sky.

However, the giant heavy armor legion was one of the important means for the Order to deal with large-scale armies. In order to solve the worries of this unit, Julia, the little beautiful cat who was born in the Kingdom of Kovir, had already contacted many big mine owners in Kovir, contracted all the ores in those mines, and would later use money offensive to control more dimeritium mines.

With these mines, they could independently provide more dimeritium for the Witcher Order.

After all, those who needed this kind of defensive equipment were not just the giant legion. If every witcher could possess a dimeritium amulet, then in the future, when there was a conflict with spellcasters, dealing with them would be much easier.

……………………

When the three people in the sky were discussing the giant legion, the battle in the forest also went quite smoothly.

Nilfgaard's army, which had been conducting conventional human wars for decades, fundamentally did not expect to encounter a situation of a group of armored giants.

The huge gap in body size and individual combat effectiveness not only caught them off guard, but the army of tens of thousands was also quickly routed under the cruel slaughter of these giants.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's commander reacted quickly and immediately issued an order to retreat, perhaps this Nilfgaardian infantry legion would have suffered heavy losses, or even been completely wiped out in this war.

However, even so, in the battle of less than two hours, a full nearly 10,000 soldiers died in this forest, and the way they died was quite miserable. Either they were blown into meat paste by the giants' weapons, or they were treated as human sandbags by the giants, held in their hands and directly squeezed to death.

Such a miserable scene directly scared Nilfgaard's soldiers. In the process of fleeing, they all threw away heavy weapons and helmets, just like ants on a hot pot, wishing their parents would give them a few more legs to run faster.

Until only bloody corpses were left on the entire battlefield, and more than two hundred giant legion soldiers were scattered to all parts of the Dol Blathanna forest, beginning to hunt down those fleeing deserters.

Wayne scanned the battlefield with an expressionless face, turned to Francesca beside him and said: "The battle is over, Enid."

"I will order Berengar to control the giant legion to temporarily station in the Dol Blathanna and wait for the follow-up reaction from Nilfgaard."

"Although they suffered a disastrous defeat this time, for their overall strength, it cannot be considered too big a loss." "During this period, you had better arrange more scout teams in the forest, and do not rule out that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and mobilize more troops to attack the Dol Blathanna."

Francesca nodded upon hearing this, a beautiful smile appearing on her face, and said to Wayne:

"Thank you for the help of the Order, Wayne. You helped us drive away the enemy and protect the home we depend on for survival."

"Our elven race will become the best ally of the Witcher Order and provide you with any help within our power."

After the two said a few polite pleasantries on behalf of their respective groups, the elven sage Ida flying on the side pursed her lips coldly and suddenly said to Wayne: "A performance that can be considered wonderful, Wayne."

"However, next, do you have time?"

"I want to invite you to my laboratory."

Wayne raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, looked at the cold and ascetic beautiful face of the elven sage Ida, guessed the purpose of this top-level spellcaster inviting him in his heart, and asked at the same time: "It's not very busy, but Ida, you must tell me your purpose first, and I will consider whether to accept your invitation."

The elven sage's expression did not have any changes, but the things she said almost shocked his jaw.

"It's not a difficult thing, Wayne."

"As the male carrier with the most active Elder Blood at present, I just want you to help me and Enid conceive, let us conceive your bloodline, and give birth to a child with the same Elder Blood."

"I have always let Enid tell you about this, but she seems to have not properly explained the significance of this matter for the elven race to you."

"So I took this opportunity to formally express my opinion as an elven sage."

"If you are willing, I and Enid can recommend you to become the new Elf King and let your bloodline become the royal bloodline of the elves in the Dol Blathanna."

"In this way, your Witcher Order and our elven race will also trust each other more, and the Witcher Order you value can also get faster development."

"This is a win-win thing for both of us."

Hearing the bold statement of such an ascetic elven beauty like Ida, Wayne was stunned for a moment. He was still secretly complaining in his heart just now, thinking about finding an opportunity to fuck this arrogant elven sage, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to propose it, and the temptation given was so great.

His face carried surprise and did not answer immediately, but glanced at Francesca, whose face was slightly flushed and did not refute Ida's words, and felt very tempted in his heart.

Although in the past, Francesca had hinted at these things, at that time the cooperation between the two sides was not so deep, and the trust between each other was not enough, so he did not discuss these aspects with the sorceress.

Now after such a long time of cooperation, he had indeed seen the sincerity of the elven race. Then now, for this invitation from Ida, should he agree?
