Chapter 895, Addiction

Wood elves are the most outstanding among all races in plant-based potion research.

It can be said that all races that want to increase food production purchase potions from the wood elves.

Previously, in order to allow the zombie world to grow its own food, Wu Heng communicated with the wood elves to purchase the formula, with the condition that they could make any formula they wanted and they would guarantee not to sell the potions and food to outsiders.

But the wood elves never agreed and only agreed to increase the supply of food and potions.

Now the wood elf took the initiative to bring up this matter.

Wu Heng's mind raced and he came up with two ideas.

First, in the conflict between themselves and the Holy See, the wood elves played the role of fence-sitters, and they also knew that Wu Heng would not be satisfied with their decision.

Therefore, he took out the core potion formula of the race to prove that he was more on his side.

Another point is that Treasure Island is mass-producing pills at a speed that is difficult for this world to understand, and is also selling "corpse core potion" to the outside world.

Let them believe that Treasure Island also has strong alchemical technology, and that by cooperating, both sides can absorb each other's knowledge.

The latter view is just speculation, but it is not impossible.

Two thoughts flashed quickly through my mind.

He looked up at the other person again and said, "Treasure Island doesn't really need the formula right now."

The smile of the fifth elder opposite froze.

It seemed that he didn't expect Wu Heng to refuse so decisively.

A few months ago, Treasure Island was very eager to get the recipe from the Wood Elves.

The room fell into silence.

Shannella glanced at both sides and said to the five elders: "The Church has existed for so many years, and we all know what role it has played among the wood elves. If relying on them could make the race stronger, we would not have waited until today."

"On the contrary, in the past two years, the cooperation between Star Flower and Treasure Island has led to the sale of a large number of products."

It's said implicitly.

But it also explains one thing.

If the Holy See had helped the wood elves, they would have become powerful long ago and would not have waited until today.

Being on good terms with Wu Heng is the most advantageous situation.

The fifth elder smiled bitterly and said, "Of course we know this, but with the strength of the wood elves, there is no way we can make enemies with the ruling leader."

He took a deep breath, then stood up and saluted Wu Heng, "Chief Wu Heng, the wood elves came here with sincerity. If you have any needs in the future, the wood elves will fully cooperate with you."

Wu Heng fell into deep thought. After a while, he continued, "I plan to build a church on Treasure Island. Do you have any suggestions?"

The fifth elder looked a little puzzled, glanced at Shannara, and then turned back, "What do you need? We are willing to support anything that we can give."

I saw that the other party still didn't understand what I meant.

He said directly, “There is limited space available for development in Treasure Island, and I plan to build more than 50 churches next year.”

The fifth elder raised his eyebrows, stood there in deep thought for a long time, and said, "On behalf of the Wood Elves, I can promise to build 10 churches for you in the territory of the Wood Elves."

"30 seats." Wu Heng said.

The fifth elder shook his head and said, "Chief, I can't promise you so much. We need to return to the elders' meeting for discussion, which may take a long time."

"20, and the construction site cannot be smaller than the size of a town." Wu Heng said.

"Yes, I can agree to it on behalf of the wood elves." The fifth elder agreed readily.

Wu Heng glanced behind him and said, "Minnie, go prepare an agreement."

"Yes." Minnie left quickly, and when she came back, she took out the prepared agreement.

The task was simple: build 20 churches in the territory of the Wood Elves within one year.

They both looked at the agreement and signed it.

The wood elf elder also breathed a sigh of relief.

The signing of the agreement also represents a easing of relations between the two sides.

After the agreement was signed, the fifth elder continued, "What about the Alchemy Research Institute...?"

Wu Heng said: "I will set up a research institute on the island, and you can arrange for relevant personnel to come over then."

"Okay, I'll ask the alchemist from our clan to come over then." The fifth elder said with a smile.

The following topics became much easier.

The two chatted about things on the island and the sales of pills among the wood elves over a period of time.

I sat there until noon.

The fifth elder also stood up and said, "Chief Wu Heng, I will go back and write a letter to the Council of Elders to implement the agreement we reached as soon as possible."

Wu Heng nodded and asked, "Fifth Elder, are you going to go back directly, or do you plan to stay here for a while?"

"I plan to go to the city hall and choose a property to buy," said the fifth elder.

Shannara said, "The place where I lived before is still vacant. If the Fifth Elder doesn't mind, you can stay there temporarily. The furniture is complete."

"That's the best. We really have no place to live." The fifth elder smiled.

Shannara produced a deed and the key to the place where she lived.

Wu Heng glanced at the address on the property deed, which was next door to where he originally lived.

At that time, he rented a four-story building with a courtyard in the Snake Emblem Group, and Shannara lived next door to him.

That's the property.

After the Fifth Elder put it away, he said, "Chief Wu Heng, I will go back first."

"Well, if you have any problems, just come over. You can come to me or Shannara. She has the final say on the island." Wu Heng said.

The fifth elder bowed again and turned to leave.

Shannella said, "I will take you to your accommodation so that you won't be unfamiliar with Treasure Island."

"Okay!" The fifth elder did not refuse.

Wu Heng sent the wood elf to the door, and Shannara, the five elders and the guards walked away.

……

After walking a distance away from the island owner's mansion.

The fifth elder smiled and said, "It can be seen that you two have a good relationship."

Shannella said, "When we were together, he was only level 15."

There are also some special meanings in words.

When Wu Heng was still young, he put all the pressure on him, but the Elders' Council was still hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.

The fifth elder was also somewhat helpless.

Who would have thought that a human being could become a hero in such an exaggerated way.

I don’t know if Shannara really saw the other party’s potential or just relied on her own luck.

"You have better vision and more courage than the rest of us." The fifth elder said with a smile.

Elves and wood elves are similar, with more advanced ideas than other races.

Although the Elders Council revoked Shannara's position as president, the reason was not that wood elves were not allowed to fall in love with other races.

Shannella continued, "Will the Great Elders agree to Wu Heng building a church in the territory?"

The fifth elder replied: "The Council of Elders has already discussed this and will fully support Wu Heng. If the Vatican was not under too much pressure, they could directly help him build the church."

Shannella raised her eyebrows, with some surprise in her eyes.

She knew very well what Wu Heng lacked most.

He had no country of his own and no backing. It was only because of the special location of Treasure Island and the fact that Wu Heng did have some business ideas that he relied on trade to elevate himself to the status of a hero.

But now we need to build a church, so we will build one within the land area of ​​Treasure Island.

What's more, he needs land, population, and a country or power that allows him to establish a church.

In other words, the Elders' Council has made up its mind to bind itself to Wu Heng.

"Don't worry, we won't be the second Yeke Kingdom." The fifth elder continued, "When the time comes, I hope that Chief Wu Heng can take better care of us wood elves."

It will not become the second Yeko Kingdom.

If the Yeke Kingdom had treated Wu Heng well, the country would have had a unique hero.

Unfortunately, since the old king grew old, the country has become extremely corrupt.

Shannella glanced at the other party and continued, "He promised me that as long as the wood elves don't do anything excessive, he won't make enemies with the wood elves. You can let the elders rest assured!"

"We mainly rely on you here." The fifth elder nodded.

Shannella asked again, "There's still one thing I don't quite understand. Are you afraid that the people in the Vatican will find out about building a church for Wu Heng?"

The fifth elder said, "It will take some time to build the church, and the Vatican is warning about the Flower of the Star, not about matters between sects."

"Will the Holy See listen to this explanation?"

"It all depends on how we mediate their conflicts during this period of time. We also have the deterrent power of Chief Wu Heng. I believe that with the speed at which the chief is growing, it shouldn't be difficult." The Fifth Elder said, and then took out a brocade box from his space ring. "This is what the Elders will give you. Be careful to protect yourself on the island."

Shannella looked at the gift and said, "No thanks."

"The elders will approve it. If you don't want it, I will take it myself." The fifth elder said directly.

"Thank you." Shannara took it and put it directly into the space ring.

Then, the two chatted casually about the situation on the island and learned about the details of the last time the Pope attacked Treasure Island.

As he spoke, he headed towards the designated residence.

……

Island owner's mansion.

"Master, look at this, a leaf carved out of gold!"

"Wow! This gem is so big."

"This looks like a feather. It's pretty. I wonder what it's used for."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wu Heng was sitting in the living room when he heard the maids' shouts from the next room.

Due to the lack of heroes, the overall strength and status of the wood elves are not as good as those of the elves, but their heritage, craftsmanship, and even aesthetics and culture are very similar.

The gifts sent are naturally exquisite and valuable.

Ignored the shouting from next door.

Wu Heng was thinking about the matter of the wood elves.

The biggest gain this time was that the wood elves were willing to build a church for themselves.

As to whether the agreement will be torn up by the other party, it depends on what happens next.

They shouldn't do such a stupid thing.

While thinking in her mind, Benny and Glenda flew back from outside, and Benny went straight into the body.

The conversation between the five elders and Shannara was also shared directly.

After reading it, Benny was released again.

Benny said: "It seems that the wood elves really came here with a friendly attitude."

Glynda revealed on the other side, "Being a hero will make everyone treat you in a friendly manner."

"Oh! Philosopher." Wu Heng said in surprise.

Glynda rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Treasure Island is still a little too small. It's a good thing for you to be connected with the wood elves."

"Well, I hope everything goes well!" Wu Heng said.

In the inner room, the maids came out with a few items to decorate the room.

The two ghosts shut up immediately and disappeared again.

……

In the afternoon, Shannara returned from outside.

She changed into some home clothes and leaned lazily against him.

"Has the Fifth Elder dealt with it?" Wu Heng asked, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Let's live in that house. If he hadn't brought you so many things, I wouldn't have planned to let him live there. That's where we'll be together." Shannara pouted, looking as if she disdained the other person.

Wu Heng asked, "Why does the Fifth Elder have such dark circles under his eyes?"

"How would I know? He was like this when I first met him." Shannara said, and then took out a gift box from her space ring and said, "This is the gift the Elders gave me. I haven't seen what it is yet."

As he spoke, he opened it, revealing a headband that looked like it was woven from rattan branches. At the front was inlaid a green gem.

[Oak Life Crown (Rare Item)]

[Effects: Healing, detoxification, plant communication, animal manipulation. ]

【Side effects: addiction.】

(Description: A crown made of oak vine branches, in addition to its own meaning, also represents the wearer's special status among the wood elves.)

【Addiction】: It will reach its peak for the dependent organism, and the effect may disappear over time.

There are four effects, and they are all quite practical.

The value of this rare item has already reached the level of a rare item that can be exchanged for first-level merit.

"Oak Crown." Shannara said the name directly.

"Do you know him?" Wu Heng looked at the other person.

Shannara said, "It's from the same series as my amber pendant."

As he spoke, he pulled out the amber pendant from the gap in his chest.

Amber pendant!

A big reason why Wu Heng and Shannara can be together is because of the side effects of the amber pendant.

The first person who opens his eyes in amber will develop a sense of dependence, and in Shannara's case, this dependence turns into love.

Of course, Shannara did not reject this feeling towards Wu Heng.

Looking at the side effects of this crown now, you will understand its meaning.

The dependence in "dependency addiction" corresponds to oneself.

It doesn't seem to be a side effect.

How can it become an addiction if two people sleep together every day?

"The effect of this strange item is quite good." Wu Heng said.

Shannella nodded, "It is considered a relatively good rare item among our race."

"It seems that the wood elves really care about Treasure Island."

Shannella leaned against him again, "If you are allowed, please take care of the wood elves."

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Heng went upstairs back to his study.

Shannara went to check the gifts with the maids.

……

Near dusk, Philippa came to the island owner's house with a parrot standing on her shoulder to eat.

Looking at the gifts all over the floor, he screamed, "Wow! There are so many good things. I've never seen them even as a pirate."

Minnie said, "Don't rummage around, what if you break it?"

"They're not that easy to break. These are from the wood elves. They're really rich." Philippa said, and then she noticed Shannella looking at her. She immediately changed her words, "No, I mean, the wood elves' things are really beautiful."

Wu Heng also came down from upstairs and said, "Pick out a few of what you like."

"Really?" Philippa started to choose happily.

Dinner was served on the table.

Wu Heng said, "Weier, tomorrow you and Shannara will go to the central area to choose a place as the venue for the research and development of potions with the wood elves."

Andwier looked up and asked, "Are there any requirements for the venue?"

Wu Heng looked at Shannara, who said, "I don't have any requirements. I just want a spacious site and preferably a basement to store materials."

"The materials can be placed in the refrigerator." Wu Heng said.

"That's no problem. The location is quieter. They need a certain environment for alchemy." Shannara continued.

"Okay." Andvier also nodded.

After dinner, the women in the family went to the training room.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Xiaoxiao controlled the puppet and held Wu Heng's hand as they walked along the commercial street in the port area.

Wu Heng was dressed as an adventurer with a hood on his head to cover his face. Xiao Xiao was also dressed like a local child with a hood on his head.

A big one and a small one were walking along the road.

Apart from the fact that it was obviously a child jumping around, there was nothing special about it.

I looked up at the sign above and walked straight into the shop on the side.

The shop was a bit deserted.

Seeing the two people come in, the counter owner glanced at them and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you need? I'll help you introduce it."

"Pick a gift for my mother, she's a bard." Xiaoxiao said first.

"We have just received a new batch of goods. Sir and Madam, you can take your pick." The boss kept smiling as he walked back to the counter and took out the two items.

Introducing: "This is the new cargo that our Chamber of Commerce has received."
