Merlin patted Alicia's hand gently and said gently, "Your Highness, you are too polite. However, although I am willing to persuade the management of the Arcane Academy on behalf of the elves, these things cannot be given away for free... After all, the research and development and production costs of the academy are quite high. I hope you can understand."
Before Merlin could finish, Alicia interrupted him and nodded, saying, "I understand. Of course I know that these precious things must be worth a lot of money."
Her eyes were determined, as if she had already prepared herself mentally and was determined to get it no matter how high the price was.
Very good, Merlin likes the elves' "innocence" and the ability to imagine things on their own.
He nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Indeed, these things are not cheap, especially the communication crystal. It must rely on the construction of a complete magic network to be used normally. The manpower, material resources, and magic resources consumed in this process are incalculable..."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if lamenting the high cost.
Alicia waved her hand nonchalantly and said confidently, "Money is not a problem. We elves have nothing but money."
This is said with full confidence and without any exaggeration.
As the richest race in the entire continent of Aize, the elves control many fertile industries.
They are a major grain-producing country, with their fertile land producing bumper harvests of grain every year. Not only are they self-sufficient, they also export large quantities. At the same time, the Elf Forest's unique natural environment makes it a paradise for cultivating all kinds of rare potions. The elves rely on their superb skills to cultivate high-quality potions, which are highly sought after. In addition, the elves have reached the pinnacle in the field of art. All kinds of precious artworks, famous paintings, etc. are basically created by the masters of the elves, and are priceless in the market.
Moreover, the elves have lived in the isolated Elf Forest all year round. There have been few large-scale wars or natural disasters, and there is nothing special that requires money. After countless years of wealth accumulation, their family background is beyond imagination. No one knows how much wealth they have.
Merlin was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still pretended to be concerned about the elves, and said hypocritically: "As the High Priest of the Moon of the elves, I will definitely do my best to obtain the greatest benefits for the elves. Don't worry, I will never let my people suffer any loss."
His eyes were sincere and his tone was firm, making it hard to doubt his "sincerity".
Alicia was deeply moved by Merlin's "true feelings", her eyes slightly reddened, and her heart was full of emotion: I didn't expect that there is such a good person like Merlin in the human world who is affectionate, has noble sentiments, and cares about the elves wholeheartedly.
He is worthy of being the High Priest of the Moon chosen by the Moon Goddess. His awareness is so high! She secretly swore in her heart that she would repay Merlin's kindness in the future.
Meanwhile, Merlin was calculating frantically in his heart: Well, I'll set the profit at around ten to fifty times, but I can't cheat too much, after all, the moon goddess Selene is still in my body, I have to give her some face.
Selene in Merlin's body sensed his thoughts and was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.
Listen, is this human language? Ten to fifty times the profit is not considered too harsh?
Besides, don’t I, the Moon Goddess Selene, know who you, Merlin, are? You said the profit is ten to fifty times. For 99% of the goods, you have to make fifty times the profit, right?
This black-hearted fellow simply treated the elves as fat sheep to be slaughtered...
But she was helpless at the moment and could only watch Merlin continue his "performance" and secretly pray that the elves would not be deceived too badly...
Alicia was completely moved by Merlin's "sincere heart" and her favorability towards Merlin soared.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "The legendary duel cards in the Duel King movie we just watched were also very interesting. They felt very different from the games we elves usually play."
Merlin was immediately excited when he heard this. His eyes lit up, as if he had met a soulmate. He exclaimed, "Princess Alicia, you have a good eye! This Duel of Legends card is an excellent game carefully created by our Arcane Academy. Don't think it's just a game. It is actually entertaining and educational, and has many benefits. Students can learn a lot from Duel of Legends cards."
"In Arena of Valor, all cards can be traced back to the continent of Azer, and relevant information and instructions are recorded in detail on the cards. While playing the game, students can gradually learn about various magical knowledge, historical allusions, racial characteristics, etc., and unknowingly enrich their knowledge reserves." Merlin's eyes flashed with excitement as he introduced incessantly.
"Moreover, this game is also very helpful in training students' abilities. During the duel, psychological tactics need to be applied. One needs to guess the opponent's intentions and adjust one's own tactics in time according to the opponent's card-playing strategy. At the same time, the deployment of troops is also crucial. How to reasonably match cards of different abilities to exert the greatest combat effectiveness requires students to think carefully. Through repeated duels, students' strategic planning and adaptability can be significantly improved." Merlin became more and more excited, as if describing a great invention that changed the world.
When Alicia heard Merlin say this, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. She originally thought it was just an ordinary game for entertainment, but she didn't expect it to contain so many tricks and be so helpful to students' growth.
Merlin struck while the iron was hot and continued, "The reason why our students at the Arcane Academy have such strong theoretical knowledge is largely due to the Legendary Duel card game. This game is like a treasure trove of knowledge, allowing students to constantly enrich themselves while having fun."
Upon hearing this, Alysia nodded repeatedly and exclaimed, "Great stuff! High Priest Merlin, I hope you can provide legendary duels to our elves as well, so that our students can also benefit from it."
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had already seen the scene of the elven students immersed in the game, learning and growing.
Merlin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your Highness, as the High Priest of the Moon, I have had this intention for a long time. I have always been fascinated by the history and culture of the elves and the deeds of their outstanding figures. So in the planning of the new season of Arena of Valor, I plan to launch a new season with the theme of the Forest of Elves, and create a powerful supplement pack tailored for the elves. Well, it just happened to be the day of the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen, and I have already designed a new card pack, called "The Return of the Moon Goddess"!"
As he spoke, Merlin proudly pulled out a pack of "The Return of the Moon Goddess" cards from his arms.
