#244 - Chapter 244: Where the elves go, work to pay off debts?
“No…”
Jiang Han's eyes twitched. He never expected that this casual fall would directly land him in front of the elves.
What a huge embarrassment!
Fortunately, he has always been thick-skinned. He nonchalantly patted the dust off his body, walked out with his hands behind his back, looking profound and unpredictable.
Just two words: show off!
Show!
He had to show off fiercely!
After all, this group of elves is a lost race, and they might have clues to something good.
Jiang Han was still thinking about how to deceive them… no, bring them out of the Isle of Divine Grace.
“This gray fog, is it considered resolved?”
Jiang Han walked up to Alesia calmly and said lightly, “Then the reward for the mission…”
“Don't worry, Night Frost… oh no, Lord Night Frost.”
Alesia quickly said, “We will definitely not skimp on the reward you want, but…”
Saying that, he looked embarrassed, “You also saw that this second space has been shattered, and we don't know where the Spring of Elves has gone. Can we use other methods to replace it…”
“There's no Spring of Elves?”
Jiang Han frowned.
Then he remembered that when the second space was shattered, there were indeed many buildings in the elven village that had not been moved away.
“Such an important thing, you elves didn't even bother to take it with you when you moved?”
“Well, there's a reason for that…”
Alesia said with a wry smile, “The nurturing of the Spring of Elves requires very harsh conditions. It takes a long time, and it's also extremely strict with the surrounding environment.”
“Once it's moved casually, it may lose its nurturing effect, so we couldn't move it.”
“I know.”
Jiang Han waved his hand, “I mean, you should have ready-made Springs of Elves, right? Why didn't you think about drawing a few pots out?”
“Loading it is the same.” Alesia explained, “It takes time. We came in a hurry, and the ones we carried before were used by the clansmen during the gray fog invasion, so…”
“I understand.”
Jiang Han sighed softly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
This Spring of Elves is definitely a good thing. Theoretically, as long as there is enough of it, any negative BUFF can be eliminated. This is even more powerful than a divine artifact.
“Since that's the case, it's understandable.”
He nodded and asked, “Then what is the alternative plan?”
“This…”
Alesia scratched his head awkwardly, unable to think of a suitable plan for a while.
Jiang Han raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
It seems that this old man doesn't have anything decent to offer.
Then the room for manipulation has arrived?
“Ahem.”
Jiang Han cleared his throat and said with a serious face, “Patriarch, I have always known that since ancient times, the reputation of the elves has been resounding throughout the continent.”
“When I was in kindergarten, my teacher once told me that in terms of purity and kindness, the elves are second to none.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Lord Night Frost, you are too kind, too kind.”
Alesia waved his hand repeatedly, but the secretly raised corners of his mouth still betrayed his inner complacency, “I didn't expect that we elves have disappeared on the continent for so long, and there are still some boring people who like to spread these nonsense, it's really a headache.”
“Hey, Patriarch, you are being too modest, aren't you?”
Jiang Han said with a serious face, “Excessive modesty is complacency. The elves can definitely bear these evaluations, this is very pertinent.”
“I am not speaking from a personal point of view, but relaying the public evaluation from the books.”
“This…”
Alesia's smile became even brighter, “In that case, we have no choice but to accept it with shame.”
“No need to feel ashamed, this is what you deserve.”
Jiang Han shook his head, then changed the subject, “Since that's the case, I think the things the patriarch promised should not be broken casually.”
“That's natural.” Alesia nodded.
“That's good.”
Jiang Han said with a smile, “The Spring of Elves is indeed impossible, although there is a reason, but this is your responsibility, I'm right about that, right?”
“That's natural.”
Alesia said.
“Then the corresponding replacement… shouldn't it be more precious?”
Jiang Han's smile became even brighter and purer, “Of course, let me say it in advance, it's not that I want to take advantage of you.”
“You know, I have always been an honest and law-abiding citizen, and I never bother to do sneaky things.”
“Mainly, my previous expectations were so high, and I even brought in a supreme powerhouse like the Undying Divine Phoenix at all costs.”
“This sincerity, can't be denied, right?”
Alesia was stunned, then nodded quickly, “Indeed, it can't be.”
Jiang Han continued, “Now that the sincerity has fallen through, I feel very uncomfortable.”
“So… it's not too much to compensate for some mental damage, right?”
“Mental damage fee?”
Alesia was completely stunned, and it was the first time he had heard such a refreshing and refined term.
So… so high-end!
But after thinking about it carefully, it is so reasonable.
“N-not too much.”
After a moment of silence, Alesia still gave the answer.
“That's good, what more precious things can your elves give than the Spring of Elves?”
After laying the groundwork for so long, Jiang Han finally showed his fangs, “If not, then is it considered a breach of trust?”
“Ah, this…”
Alesia was stunned again.
He always felt that something was wrong.
But he couldn't say exactly what was wrong.
Hiss…
My head is so itchy, it seems like I'm about to grow a brain.
“I'll ask one last time, do you have it or not?” Jiang Han continued to put pressure on him, his tone becoming a little hurried.
He was simply an expert among negotiation experts.
“N-no.”
Alesia didn't recover for a while. Even though he was very old, he had always dealt with the pure-hearted elves, so how could he truly understand what is called the sinister nature of people's hearts?
What's more, Jiang Han's current bursting charm value, as well as his achievements in dispelling the gray fog, naturally gave him a layer of good person filter.
Then the IQ-reducing halo was brought on so smoothly.
“If you don't have it, what should I do with my previous efforts?” Jiang Han's tone became a little cold, as if he was on the verge of exploding at any time.
Alesia did not answer.
To be precise, he couldn't answer.
Because even he couldn't find anything more precious than the Spring of Elves, and… he wouldn't lie.
“Well… I can see that, despite the risk of breaking your trust, you are still so persistent, it is indeed understandable.”
At this time, Jiang Han's voice sounded, and he even thoughtfully found a reason.
For a moment, Alesia couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Look, what a great big shot!
Not only did he help solve the crisis of life and death, but he was also so considerate.
It can only be said that a big shot is worthy of being a big shot.
“Yes, we do have our difficulties.” He said in a deep voice, “But please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely think of a way to make up for it, but it will take time.”
“Don't bother with time.”
Jiang Han waved his hand and said with a smile, “I have a method that is very good, I don't know if the patriarch can accept it.”
“What is it?” Alesia asked.
“That is of course…”
Jiang Han said word by word:
“Working to pay off the debt!”
