The process was quick; one important copy was kept at the lord's manor, and the rest were delivered to the territory's research and development department by the guards outside the gate.

This matter is finally over.

Perhaps the change of fortune had begun, because a day later, Sandy Territory welcomed two more caravans.

Ron's training was successfully completed, and he was escorted to his destination.

The Tulip Merchant Guild and the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild jointly escorted them, and there were no fools along the way.

On this day, Ron told the steward to let people rest.

Since the others had successfully escorted the caravan, Ron naturally had to send the steward to the storeroom to reward the caravan members with magic crystals. He couldn't be stingy; he had to be magnanimous like a lord or nobleman.

The men obeyed and left, and soon only those boxes of goods remained in the mansion.

The two chambers of commerce have done a really good job of packaging themselves; yes, very good.

Ron and the people around him open the box!

It suddenly feels a bit like receiving a package from my past life. There aren't many surprises, and I'm just hoping that the precious magical plant won't be damaged!

Upon opening the wooden box, one finds some precious magical plants and a jade box inside.

Excellent! The two major chambers of commerce are reliable. The magic plant in the jade box should not lose too much of its effects.

Because this is a wild magical plant, not one from a magical plant garden.

Naturally, most of these magical plants are not of mature quality.

Which magical beasts are still guarding it, hoping it will mature? Ron took it temporarily.

Humanity's wisdom has allowed them to craft various magical potions, whose efficacy is estimated to be not too different. Wild magical plants also have an advantage that magical plant gardens cannot match: their natural and pure growing environment.

Wild plants are always a bit stronger, and as a result, their medicinal effects can sometimes rival those of mature magical plants from the Magic Plant Garden.

Very good, let's look at high-magic metals next.

Green Gold…

Blue Silver…

Mithril…

Magic Jade Crystal…

...

Everything is here, everything is here.

"Someone come here! Quickly sort all of my treasures!"

The guards outside the courtyard entered one by one. Although they were amazed by the value of the things inside, the guards were not flustered and had no greed in their hearts.

They were all hereditary retainers of noble families.

Unfortunately, Ron doesn't have many knights to be granted titles right now, otherwise he could pick a few of these people to be given those titles.

As a hereditary viscount, Ron was already accustomed to the rules of the Gus world.

The retainers and guards sorted the treasures into categories.

Ron instructed Vivian to take out a list she had prepared beforehand and write it down.

"Vivian, come here and have them wrap it up a bit more to make individual gifts. I'll be watching from the side."

"Yes, young master!" Vivian smiled and accepted the order.

Ron watched people work, pondering what to add to the gifts!

I've got it. I'll go check on the results from the elf delegation's side later.

Because they needed to get out of there as soon as possible, Ron came up to help too...

After a long time, the gifts were finally made.

After having someone keep watch inside the mansion, Ron immediately led Vivian and the others out.

They hurried to the courtyard of the elven delegation and went straight in. Ron was soon greeted by the elven welcoming elves.

No longer an elven leader, the male elf before him was still naturally handsome, and Ron sat down as instructed.

Inside the Elf Courtyard.

The lord and the elf sat facing each other, each with several standing companions. Judging from their positions, the male elf was likely a deputy commander or something similar, while the commander was still busy with the site planning department…

After observing the male elf, Ron, who had sat down, asked, "May I ask what your name is, my elf friend?"

“My lord, I am Nat, an elven knight, who will assist Sister Tracy at times,” Nat replied, bowing.

Because Ron was still the Pope, the elves treated him with great courtesy. Also, due to the nature of the elven race, they generally held positions of power held by women, such as the elven queens of generations, making them a matriarchal society. Furthermore, Nat addressed the official leader only as "elder sister"...

Ron was aware that there was no clear hierarchy among the elves, but he also knew that there were other female elves in the pure elven delegation that came to Sandy Territory, yet they still sent Nat to receive Ron, so Nat must have some ability.

Ron guessed and asked, "Nat, my elf friend, did you come to the human realm for adventure many years ago?"

“Yes, my lord, Nat once had human adventurer companions!”

"Oh, I understand."

Before the World Tree barrier was opened, the Nat Elf Knights still had experience going out, so their actual strength should be very strong, and they should also have some experience in dealing with things.

Very well, it seems Ron needs to spend more time with him.

With his own plans in mind, Ron also revealed the purpose of his visit: "My elven friends, is there any progress in the research on the Magic Watches here?"

Upon hearing the lord mention this, Nat smiled: "Lord, your timing is perfect. A finished product was recently successfully developed. However, this watch might be a bit special, and we have to thank the magical mechanical knowledge you brought..."

Ron listened quietly, curious about what made the first edition of the Magic Watch so special.

A moment later, Nate took out the first edition of the Magic Watch made by the Elven race.

……(⊙o⊙)…Um……

What happened?

It's wood again.

Upon seeing that the first edition of the Magic Watch was made of wood, Ron envisioned a wooden flying car, a magic crystal car...

Could it be that because it has been handled by the Elven race, it is all made primarily of wood?

Of course, after the initial version of the Magic Crystal Car, there is now a metal version, but the most expensive one is still made of wood.

Among high-magic items, naturally grown wood is very precious. For example, common wands are made of wood, apart from the magic core. Some wooden items are naturally suitable for elemental conduction.

A wooden watch!

As the pointer spins, what is the difference in accuracy between wood and metal?

...

Despite various speculations, Ron calmly accepted the first edition of the Magic Watch.

Nat had expected the Archbishop to have a different expression, but Ron, having been in a high position for so long, remained unfazed by the situation, demonstrating his basic skills.

Ron calmly examined the wooden magic watch.

Let's set aside our impressions for now.

As for watches, try holding them in your hand first.

Wu…so comfortable~\\\\(≥▽≤)\/~……a natural, slightly cool feeling.

It feels very natural and light.

Well, how should I put it!

It's so comfortable to wear, and you just want to keep touching it... In short, amazing! ...\\\\ ( ＞ ＜ ) \/

It truly lives up to its reputation as an elven work of art.

First he touched it, and then Ron examined it closely with his naked eye.

Beautiful, isn't it? ... It seems that just the word "beautiful" isn't enough to describe it, so let's add the word "unique" before "beautiful"!

Beautiful!

The watch body is surrounded by natural wood-like patterns. These patterns are supposed to gather elemental energy. However, these patterns are already miniature magic circles, so how come they look so natural?

If Ron weren't a knowledgeable magician, he wouldn't have been able to see the difference and would have thought it was just natural tree grain!

Goodbye to the table.

The watch contains several wooden needles that move slowly and naturally without making a sound. Could this watch be considered a magical device? It seems to lack that mechanical feel.

However, different people perceive things differently. To Ron, silence is very practical, simply because magicians generally know that meditation can bring wisdom, and quiet meditation is the main job of mages.

But with Ron, there was a lack of mechanical feel; something was missing. That sound should evoke a sense of nostalgia or something similar for Ron.

Of course, even in the past, there were silent watches, and some watches had relatively loud mechanical noise.

The fine lines inside the watch are simply beautiful.

An indescribable overall feeling, as always, an ethereal work of art.

The elves are truly natural masters of luxury.

The fine texture inside the watch is made to look like a natural texture. Could it be that the texture is natural?

The material world embodies the rules of the world; it is natural, organic, and offers a sense of visual comfort.

...

After a long while, Ron sighed softly and put the watch back into the wooden box.

Nat asked curiously, "Lord, why did you put it back? Are you not wearing it anymore? Don't you like it?"

“No, no, I like it very much, but this watch is different from what I imagined, and I am a little sentimental.” After saying that, Ron added, “I hope my elven friend can tell me the corresponding spell.”

However, despite being curious about the lord's current behavior, Nat still uttered the corresponding incantation.

...

Then, Ron ordered Nate to test it on the spot.

"..." followed by the incantation.

A magical effect appeared on the watch; it emitted an elemental rhythm that was quite peculiar. Nearby creatures, as if their spirits and souls were gently touched by it, felt completely relaxed.

A wonderful tool for meditation!

Ron smiled slightly: "Tell me, Nat, how many of these watches did our elven friends make?"
