The World Tree, known to all races throughout Plandall, is the lifeblood of the Elves (there is no distinction between men and women here).

It is their mother, their home, and their faith, in the eyes of the elves, the World Tree is the embodiment of the earth goddess Nice Claire, and it is the most direct channel for them to communicate with the goddess.

The World Tree contains extremely powerful vitality and magic, and the power permeates every branch and every leaf, which makes the World Tree always warm and full of surging vitality.

And the branches of the World Tree are the most suitable materials for making a staff in the whole of Plandal, and there is no one.

The magic contained in the branches of the World Tree can be completely coordinated with the magician, and this innate coordination is also one of the characteristics of the elves, so after the mage holds the staff made of the branches of the World Tree, the power of spellcasting, the speed of spellcasting, and the efficiency of unit mana have been greatly improved.

What's more, the physical fitness of the original high-level mage is not as good as that of a warrior of the same level, but after using the branches of the World Tree for a long time, the surging life breath inside will gradually enter the mage's body, improving the mage's physique, and making the mage's body healthier and stronger.

It is said that in the Silver City, the president of the Secret Law Association of the Tower of the Star and Moon, the legendary mage, and the Lord of the Star and Moon with the title of Sage, Jean Augustine and the Lord of the Star and Moon, the staff in his hand was given to him by the elves during the Second Chaos Invasion War.

The branches of the World Tree, even if they are the size of a thumb, are enough to attract the covetousness of a group of mages, and if there is a slightly larger one, it will be sold for a sky-high price, which is enough to show how precious the branches of the World Tree are.

However......

"I thought that drinking this tea would be blaspheming the elves and provoking them, but you told me today that the toothbrush you gave me was made from the branches of the World Tree!?"

Fiona was trembling, unable to stand still, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to question Don anymore.

Branches of the World Tree......

That's a precious treasure that would make all those magicians crazy......

I—I actually use it, brush my teeth with it?

"Why didn't ......you tell me sooner?"

Fiona was about to cry, she knew this thing was so precious, how could she brush her teeth with it!

"It's just a toothbrush, what are you afraid of?" [e1]

Don En looked relaxed, he was already completely intoxicated by the aroma of tea.

"I, I...... Alas! ”

Fiona let out a long sigh, she knew it was going to be like this, and if it went on like this, she would have to be scared to death by Donn!

After calming down, Fiona felt a little thirsty, and she subconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Suddenly, the hot tea slid down the tip of her tongue, and before she could exclaim, a strange fragrance exploded in her mouth in an instant!

Like clouds, like fog, and like a hundred flowers blooming, dancing with elves in the sun......

Fiona closed her lips tightly, as if she was worried that the fragrance would escape from her mouth, and savored it deeply and repeatedly until the sweet fragrance was completely gone, and then took a second sip and continued to revel in it......

Compared to this tea, the black tea I used to drink is simply bitter and unpleasant garbage!

Immersed in the fragrance of tea, Fiona completely forgot the panic and apprehension just now, and only the purest joy and happiness were left on her face, and she sat there calmly, as if she didn't want to do anything, just wanted to enjoy this leisurely and comfortable moment......

Don En smiled slightly: "Do you like it?" ”

"Uh-huh......"

"I gave it to you."

Don casually put the box of tea in front of Fiona, but this sentence woke up the intoxicated Fiona and was shocked: "How can it! How can I accept such a valuable thing! ”

"Just think of it as employee welfare," Donn shrugged, "Ellington will have to rely on you to take care of me when I'm not there, and I can take care of it with some tea." ”

"But, but ......"

"Don't be, I've got a lot of this."

Don waved his hand, even if the matter was settled, Fiona opened her mouth and had nothing to say.

"What about the other than that?"

Donn returned to the sofa, held the teacup and said, "The toothbrush factory can be opened, there is no difficult process for toothbrushes, it is easy to manufacture, but the raw materials are more difficult to buy in Ellington......"

Ellington didn't have many horses in the first place, and if he had used a ponytail completely, it would not be long before Ellington's horses would have bald butts.

"That's fine!"

Fiona perked up: "Just as I was about to tell you the good news, Thomas has been looking for something to replace the horsetail after discovering the toothbrush, and then he found a plant in the nearby forest, which the people here call 'Grammie', and after the buds of Grammie unfold, the stamens inside can completely replace the horsetail!" ”

"Really?"

"Really, I have seen the stamens of Grame, not only with the fragrance of flowers, but also tough and slender, hardness, and most importantly, Grammie This flower has strong vitality and is easy to grow! With your permission, the toothbrush workshop is always on the agenda. ”

Fiona stared at Don with fierce eyes to see what he was going to do.

"In other words, now these projects are going hand in hand, and what is lacking is manpower?"

"That's right...... This is also our biggest shortcoming in Ellington. ”

Fiona scratched her hair in distress and said, "Although there are many farmers in the vicinity who have surplus productivity with iron farming tools, and labor has begun to concentrate on Ellington, since the changes in Ellington have not yet spread, we have no migrant population here, and it is difficult to absorb other people here. ”

"That's easy to say."

Donn said casually: "When the caravan departs, I will promote Ellington along the way, and at the same time advertise that as long as you are willing to work in Ellington, you will be fed, and you will even get a salary and a residence permit, I believe there will be many people who are willing to come here." ”

Don't look at the fact that Plandal is very peaceful now, it is just an illusion, in fact, local strife has never stopped, just like the battle between Casparmyburg and Ellington a while ago, this kind of war abounds, so now Plandal is full of refugees who do not have enough to eat.

"If I really advertise it like this, I will have a headache about food shortage...... How many gold coins did you get from Baron Duvière this time? ”

Fiona suddenly remembered this, and looked up at Don suddenly, her eyes were full of light, and her face was excited and flushed, and Don felt strange when she saw her appearance.

"Not much...... The gold coins he got from selling ore before were sent to the Kadir family in the imperial capital, and the vault of Casparmyburg was looted by me, there are about more than 200,000 gold coins, and I will put it in the vault later. ”

"More than 200,000 gold coins!"

Fiona cheered, suddenly rushed out and hugged Donne, and kissed him on the cheek: "You are really Ellington's savior!" ”

Don said proudly, "Of course. ”

After saying that, Don gently pushed Fiona away and said, "With these gold coins, it should be enough to establish a Chamber of Commerce, right?" ”

"Enough! Totally enough! ”

Fiona's face flushed with excitement, and she spun around excitedly beside her: "With this gold coin, there are nearly 400,000 gold coins in the vault, not only can you rebuild the Chamber of Commerce, but even your plan to rebuild Ellington can be put on the agenda soon." ”

"Does it take so much gold to rebuild Ellington?"

"Of course! Rebuilding a town will cost you more gold than you think, whether it's the salary of the labor, or the supplies, materials, and settlement costs, etc., all of which require gold, especially since you are a benevolent lord who likes to scatter gold coins on everything, so you need so much budget...... By the way, rebuilding Ellington, do you still plan to continue to scatter coins? ”

Don stared at Fiona for a long time, trying to determine if it was a coincidence or if the chick said it on purpose......

It turned out that I didn't see anything.

Tang En said with a straight face: "Do you pick up coins when I scatter coins?" ”

Fiona was overjoyed: "Really? Of course I picked up the coins! ”

Well, it's a coincidence......

Tang En said angrily: "I only pay salaries, never scatter coins!" ”

Fiona was furious: "What's the difference between your behavior and throwing coins?" ”

"Anyway, I don't throw coins...... I don't scatter coins or pick up coins! No staff or sword! ”

"Okay, okay, you're the lord, you say!"

Fiona rolled her eyes, snapped a few pages, and said, "In addition to the Hilton and Thomas just mentioned, there are other people who have also returned, and they are all the right-hand men of the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce before, so they are paid a little higher than others......"

Tang En waved his hand: "You don't need to tell me this, you can do it yourself, I just need to see the final result." ”

Fiona originally wanted to report to Don En about his salary expenses so that he knew about it, but he didn't expect Don to care at all, and Fiona didn't know whether she should be happy or helpless about this kind of trust.

"Okay, but don't worry, I won't use it for public or private purposes."

Fiona assured Donn, and then she said, "But there's one thing you have to take care of even if you don't want to, and it's up to you to make up your mind." ”

"Oh?"

Don perked up: "As long as you don't scatter coins, what's the matter?" ”

"The name of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Name? Isn't it the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce? ”

Fiona looked at Don with a confused look, and her heart was moved and amused, because she could see that Don really didn't have any other ideas, but simply because she said it before, so she used this name.

"No, my lord."

Fiona calmed down and said seriously, "Although I would like to use this name too, it will not work. ”

"First of all, the Golden Rose family no longer exists—perhaps in the future with the help of your strength, but not now."

"Secondly, this name will attract unnecessary enemies, and Lord Lord, what you are most afraid of is unnecessary trouble, right?"

"Thirdly, and most importantly, the owner of this chamber of commerce is you, and I am just a layman."

"So?"

Tang En thought for a moment and said casually: "Then call it the Datang Chamber of Commerce." ”
