In the final analysis, the Sword Clan is weak and is not on an equal footing with the Yan Kingdom.
The strategic significance of the sanctuary is indeed great, but for a country, there is more to consider than just that.
At least if the Sword Clan wants to get real help from the Yan Country, they must also provide something equivalent, such as the Sword Clan's artifact.
Of course, since the artifact is in Xia Zhi's hands, he naturally would not do such a thing that would harm himself and benefit others.
"How about this? If you agree, I can help you."
Lan Mengdie blinked and asked with a smile.
She happened to have something that the Sword Clan had never used, but Xia Zhi had to be willing to help her.
"Oh? Then what is that thing that increases your lifespan in your hand?"
Xia Zhi came back to his senses and asked curiously.
The main reason was that he had no specific concept of the 'Black Absolute Wood' and wanted to compare it with the Blue Dream Butterfly.
"That's it, the Wuyuan Fruit."
Lan Mengdie didn't think much about it and took out a fruit.
'Wuyuan Fruit' is a purple fruit with white spots and a slightly flat shape.
[Wuyuan Fruit: Epic level, using it can increase lifespan, the specific effect is determined by the level.]
Looking at the fruit, Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
One epic-level item can be exchanged for the holy item 'Rootless Water', so for his legendary-level 'Black Absolute Wood', wouldn't he have to use a big vat to fetch a bucket?
Ding Dong~
Just then, the doorbell rang outside.
Lan Mengdie put away the fruit, then stood up and opened the door.
"Xia Zhi."
Xia Ma's voice came.
Xia Zhi turned around and saw Xia's mother carrying some things and Xia's father holding Xia Yan.
The previous family did not live with Lan Mengdie, but lived with Xia Yan on the other side, in a community with a school.
This is also the community set up by Yan State for these gifted children, where they are gathered together for training.
Afterwards, Xia Zhi had a brief chat with the three of them and gave them some specialties he had bought from Zhongjiang Trading Company.
"How are you thinking about it?"
After the predecessor's family left, Lan Mengdie asked with a smile.
She was still waiting for Xia Zhi to take the bait.
However, it also depends on how much importance Xia Zhi attaches to "rootless water".
But Xia Zhi needs the holy material, so it must be what she needs. All she has to do now is wait patiently.
"I'll think about it."
After thinking about it, Xia Zhi neither refused nor agreed.
It's impossible to get it for free, and this favor is probably wasted.
Since Lan Mengdie wants to trick him, she will definitely find his weakness.
But he is not so easy to fool. How could he help Lan Mengdie just for this?
In comparison, that favor is not only useless, but will also lead to Lan Mengdie's betrayal again.
Last time, it was because he was handsome that Yue Qingcheng didn’t bother with him.
Who knows what Lan Mengdie wants to do this time? What if he asks him to seduce another woman again? Is he such a casual person?
"Okay, you can tell me when you've thought about it."
Lan Mengdie smiled and didn't let Xia Zhi reply immediately.
She has nothing but time.
"In that case, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Xia Zhi stood up and left.
"Oh, by the way, aren't you going to receive the award? Maybe there's a surprise waiting for you."
As soon as I went out, I suddenly heard Lan Mengdie's voice behind me.
Xia Zhi looked back and saw Lan Mengdie smiling mysteriously. Before he could ask anything, she closed the door.
…
"Surprise? I think it's more of a shock!"
Standing on the street next to the community, Xia Zhi raised his middle finger in the direction of Lan Mengdie, ignoring what Lan Mengdie said.
Although Lan Mengdie was unable to help, this trip was not without gain.
After learning about the Sword Clan's needs, everything became much easier.
His interpersonal relationships are not limited to Lan Mengdie, there is also Yin Wuque.
Anyway, I owe favors to others, so I don't worry about having too many debts. I have asked Yin Wuque for so much help before, so this one won't make a difference.
Then Xia Zhi also called Yin Wuque.
Fortunately, the conscription has basically ended, and Yin Wuque has returned to Longcheng.
After the two agreed to meet in the floating city, Xia Zhi hung up the phone.
Unfortunately, flying is prohibited in Longcheng, so Xia Zhi can only take a car to a special place for airships, and then take the airship to the floating city.
…
“The scenery is really nice.”
Xia Zhi sat on the airship, leaning against the window and looking outside like a country bumpkin.
Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city and its surrounding scenery.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the layout below Dragon City looked a bit like some kind of formation. However, since he was not a professional magician, he didn't know much about it.
Not long after, Xia Zhi arrived near the floating city.
The defense of the floating city is very strict. There is a blue energy shield in the sky, and countless black gun muzzles are embedded around it. Soldiers are also patrolling back and forth constantly.
In the center of the floating city, there is a golden tower, and on the top of the tower is floating an energy ball flashing with electric light.
Another barrier was set up with the tower as the center.
"If this thing hits the Holy Land, I'm afraid it will be blown to rubble."
Feeling the energy transmitted from the energy ball, Xia Zhi sighed sincerely.
The energy fluctuations coming from the tower were extremely strong, and unlike the magic they used, they appeared extremely pure, like an energy body that had been compressed multiple times.
With this kind of thing, Xia Zhi estimated that if he even touched it, he would be burned to ashes.
