"Thera is my wife, I am the lord of the Tempest, and she is the de facto administrator of the Tempest. Cervantes explained to the Lord of Mirror Lake, the corners of his mouth curled up, his face full of pride.

“...... And then?" The Mirror Lake Lord's voice echoed through the cliffs, "Why did she invite me?"

"Because of the elemental anomalies in the Black Forest, the temperature has changed too much compared to previous years, so we need you to help us, and in turn, we will also help you!"

Cervantes didn't hide his intentions, because he wasn't dealing with a race of intelligent beings, but an elemental lord!

He doesn't play with any 'language arts', and he doesn't bother to deceive people unless he has to.

"So......" Lord Mirror Lake moved his head and spat out his forked tongue, "how can you help me?"

Cervantes remembered the 'quid pro quo' that the maid had told him, and smiled slightly: "Magic, a huge amount of magic! We have a magic furnace in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, and a giant elemental pool, if you think that 'mana' is not enough, we can also build an elemental pool for you!"

"Elemental Pool? What is that?" Lord Mirror Lake didn't hide his 'ignorance' either, and for elemental life, it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

"Uh......"

Cervantes thought for a moment, took out the book prepared for him by the maid from the dimensional bag, and read word by word: "Set up a circle in a container, open the elemental channel, guide the elements out of the elemental boundary, and after the elements form a stable structure, the elements are bound in the container through runes and circles, this is the 'elemental pool' - that's it!"

'Elemental Pool' is something that mages only play, and the dragons only need to mobilize the magic power in their bloodline, and they don't need that kind of thing at all!

The Lord of Mirror Lake listened quietly, and after listening, he suddenly raised his body, and his body made of ice crystals reflected colorful brilliance as it writhed.

"Is it possible to open the elemental channel?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, the black dragon seems to have heard excitement from the voice of the Lord of Mirror Lake?

"Of course!" Cervantes nodded, the maid, as an archmage, was naturally able to open the elemental passage.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the Lord of Mirror Lake did not speak, but swallowed his forked tongue like a real snake.

"I hope ......"

The Lord of Mirror Lake lowered his head again, his sapphire-like eyes fixed on Cervantes, "You can send me back to the water elemental plane. ”

"Can't you go back yourself?"

As soon as he subconsciously asked, Cervantes knew that he was stupid again.

If the Lord of Mirror Lake had been able to return to the Water Elemental Plane, he wouldn't be here now.

After a pause, Cervantes asked again, "Why do you want to return to the water elemental plane? Isn't the material plane bad?"

"I don't know what 'good' is and what is 'bad'......" The python's huge tail tapped on the ice, and his tone was flat, "But I don't belong here, this is something that every elemental life knows, if the proportion of a certain element is not enough, we will dissipate, and the elements of the material plane tend to be balanced, and this place is not suitable for us to live." I have lived here for hundreds of years, and I have only borrowed the abnormal power of the elements in the Black Forest, the material plane is very self-regulating, and there are also major gods, they maintain the order of the entire material plane, not just the order of a certain race. When the Demon Element' explodes, the material plane and gods will raise the level of this world, so that this world can accommodate stronger forces, and at that time, the elements of this world will return to a state of equilibrium, except for some special areas, which are not suitable for our elemental life to survive at all. ”

"We elemental life is not part of the material plane in the first place, and if you can, I want you to send me back to the water elemental plane. ”

A loud sound echoed through the valley, shattering the ice hanging from the cliffs, and the broken ice fell on the stones with a crisp breaking sound.

The Lord of Mirror Lake knocked out several deep cracks in the thick ice beneath him, and the cold air rose in the cracks, making Cervantes shiver.

"So, what did you exchange it for?"

The black dragon narrowed his eyes, "We can indeed help you open the elemental passage and return you to the water elemental plane, but this was not what we originally intended. Because of the anomaly of the Black Forest, next summer will definitely be very difficult for my people, and the reason why Sera asked me to invite you is precisely because of this - next summer will be difficult for us, and the same will be true for Mirror Lake, if you and we will benefit both sides, and if we help you open the elemental channel, and you also return to the water elemental plane, then wouldn't our Sorrowful Wind Leader get nothing? Why do we do such a thankless job?"

"That's why I asked you......," Cervantes grinned, "what did you exchange for us?"

Elemental life, unlike most intelligent life, doesn't play any 'language arts' and speaks very straightforwardly, but on the other hand, it's not easy to deceive them, and Cervantes asked himself if he didn't have such a powerful deception technique, so he simply told the truth.

The Lord of Mirror Lake fell silent all of a sudden, motionless and looking a little sluggish, but the black dragon knew that he was thinking.

"I can make an 'Elemental Pact' with you. ”

Cervantes waited for a long time before Lord Mirrorlake spoke: "Using the 'Covenant', you can summon my people, or summon me - this valley has become what it is because of me, and the other ice elemental lifeforms are all my clansmen, you can use the 'Covenant' to summon them, or summon me, but you have to pay some price." ”

Low-level elemental beings don't have intelligence, and high-level elemental beings with intelligence are also a bunch of guys who like to go straight, and if some people who like to play tricks come across them, then they can be very depressed, but Cervantes also likes to go straight when he speaks, even when he is bargaining.

"No, if it's just ordinary summoning elemental life, we in the Sadwind Realm also have a similar spell, unless you give us a permission - a permission that can give others the ability to summon elemental life!"

Dragons are born with inherited memories, and Cervantes is not stupid, he just 'doesn't know' about 'magic', not nothing.

"Of course—"

Cervantes smiled, "We'll pay some price when we are summoned, and you have the right to 'refuse'. We don't just give anyone else permission to summon, and you can rest assured about that. ”

With his knowledge of the temperament of elemental life, such a condition is not excessive, because elemental life does not pay attention to this.

"Yes. ”

Just as Cervantes had predicted, the Lord of Mirror Lake easily agreed to his terms.

The negotiation process was very brief, from the time Cervantes stepped into the valley until now, not even half an hour.

After coming into contact with the greedy, short-sighted, and ignorant aristocracy, Cervantes discovered for the first time that elemental beings were so easy to get along with.

"Do you want to come back with me now, or wait until this winter is over and then come back to the Grim Wind?" asked Cervantes, taking a deep breath.

The Lord of Mirror Lake swayed, shrinking in size until finally, he took on a crystalline human form.

"Let's go now, I don't know where the sad wind is. ”

Unlike before, the voice of the Lord of the Mirror Lake came from that body, and Cervantes also felt it, and the wind around the entire valley seemed to have stopped.

Looking at this body of the Lord of Mirror Lake, Cervantes had a smile on his face, even if he had to spend a day or two with this elemental lord who wantonly plundered the surrounding temperature, he had also completed the task assigned to him by Serra, that is, next summer, the Grim Wind Leader would not need to produce ice cubes-

Wouldn't that save a lot of money?
