Free Web NovelChapter 747: Chapter 421: 1,000,000 Ancient Spirit Wood! (Part 3)
Hearing this, a look of realization appeared in Han Xing’s eyes.
This is like when humans get an external injury; if the bleeding stops, the wound will heal itself slowly over time.
But if it’s not treated in time, the wound might worsen and lead to death.
Of course, the situation of the World Tree is much more complex than that.
At this moment, Han Xing asked, "Your Majesty, Elf King, how much Spirit Wood do you think is needed to restore the World Tree?"
The Elf King thought for a moment, "About a hundred thousand should be enough?"
After speaking, he cautiously glanced at Han Xing.
Han Xing, upon hearing this, breathed a little sigh of relief.
This number was actually much lower than he had imagined.
So, he directly replied, "I have it."
The Elf King was filled with strong surprise in his eyes.
"Saint Master Han Xing, are you saying that you have 100,000 of such Spirit Wood?"
Han Xing nodded, "Yes."
At this moment, a look of joy appeared in the Elf King’s eyes.
"That’s great!"
"Now, finally, the World Tree has hope!"
Elinora, who was listening to the conversation on the side, also showed a joyful expression.
"Then there’s no time to lose!"
"Saint Master Han Xing, let’s go restore the World Tree right now!"
The Elf King stood up from the throne with a start.
At this point, Han Xing suddenly coughed.
"Uh, please wait a minute, Your Majesty the Elf King."
Hearing these words, the Elf King looked at Han Xing with confusion.
Han Xing seemed a bit embarrassed as he said, "Regarding the matter of compensation..."
The Elf King was momentarily stunned after hearing this.
Then, as if realizing something,
he and Elinora exchanged a knowing smile.
Of course, there was no mockery in their smiles; rather, they felt it was right and proper.
The Elf King smiled and said, "Saint Master Han Xing, I was too excited and forgot about this matter; please forgive me."
His attitude was very friendly, which led everyone present to breathe a little easier.
After all, no matter the world, when two forces negotiate, once interests are involved, some disputes may arise.
Moreover, in fact, restoring the World Tree is beneficial to the entire Holy Spirit Realm.
So the Elf King had reasons to refuse Han Xing’s request,
but the key point is, the World Tree belongs to the Elf Race.
This is something universally acknowledged within the Holy Spirit Realm.
Moreover, for thousands of years, the Elf Race has benefited immeasurably from the World Tree.
As the saying goes, where there is gain, there must be toil.
So, after the World Tree was damaged, the Elf Race has been actively trying to repair it.
They have expended a lot of manpower and precious resources.
They did not ask other races within the Holy Spirit Realm for assistance.
They were quite clear on this point.
Now that Han Xing has brought the Ancient Spirit Wood capable of restoring the World Tree, seeking compensation from the Elf Race is, in their view, entirely appropriate.
"Straightforward!" Han Xing praised the Elf King.
The team members also laughed.
They liked people who were easy to talk to.
The Elf King didn’t mind but instead asked, "What does Saint Master Han Xing require?"
"Whatever your requests are, feel free to mention them. No matter what the Saint Master needs, we will do our best to find it for you."
This statement reveals the Elf King’s determination to restore the World Tree.
He was even prepared to make significant sacrifices.
However, after thinking for a moment, Han Xing said, "Actually, what I need isn’t that precious; it’s just somewhat hard to find."
"I need large quantities of Waveless Metal, Ancient Elf Secret Ingot, Chaos Divine Stone, Calamity Divine Gold, and other materials."
Upon hearing this, the Elf King’s eyes widened slightly.
He didn’t think Han Xing’s demands were extremely valuable.
Instead, compared to the Ancient Spirit Wood, they seemed very ordinary.
However, the Elf King immediately thought of something and tentatively asked, "I wonder how much Saint Master Han Xing needs?"
Han Xing replied, "This time, I plan to provide 130,000 pieces of ’Ancient Spirit Wood’ for the World Tree."
"According to the ratio, one piece of Spirit Wood can be exchanged for 100 pieces of Waveless Metal, Thunder Divine Stone, and Extreme Ice Divine Stone."
"As for the Ancient Elf Secret Ingot, it’s a trade of 20 pieces for one."
"And for materials like Chaos Divine Stone and Calamity Divine Gold, it’s a 1:1 exchange ratio, Your Majesty the Elf King, what do you think?"
The Elf King and Elinora exchanged glances and then smiled lightly.
Because the materials Han Xing mentioned, although they are relatively rare,
they can still be found within the Holy Spirit Realm.
Among them, the Ancient Elf Secret Ingot, their race has quite a few reserves.
Such materials are used for building large Defense Towers or advanced warships.
So every major race has some reserves of these materials.
They were really worried that Han Xing would directly request their Elf Race’s Holy Artifact.
That would have been difficult for them.
But fortunately, Han Xing wasn’t too excessive, and the quantity of materials needed was fairly reasonable.
For a moment, the Elf King and Elinora, in their hearts, raised their Affinity for Han Xing a few notches.
[Because of your actions, you have moved the Elf King, Elf Race Affinity +300.]
Upon hearing this message, a smile appeared on Han Xing’s face.
Because this indicated the deal was sealed.
The Elf King nodded heavily, "Of course, Saint Master Han Xing, we agree to your terms."
Han Xing also smiled, "Then, without further ado, Your Majesty the Elf King, shall we set out now to the World Tree to proceed with the restoration?"
Both of them were people who acted swiftly and decisively.
The Elf King nodded seriously, "Alright!"
"Saint Master Han Xing, please wait for me outside for a moment, I will join you shortly."
After hearing this, everyone left the Elf Race’s Royal Palace together.
