Fairy’s Box

Mother Tree Hall

After sending the two envoys to the best room to rest, the hall was filled with joy, and the hard days of the tree elves finally came to an end. Once the two-way tunnel was opened, they would be able to live a happy life as human nobles.

"It is said that human nobles like to bathe with fresh milk and apply honey to their faces. When the employment money is in hand, I will get a bucket every day."

"I want to taste human dishes first and wear silk woven clothes."

"I have been fascinated by their glass and porcelain for a long time. It is said that some of the fine and fine porcelain is smoother than the skin of a tree elf girl. I really want to touch it myself."

Even the Regent of Mizdno has dreams of buying wine in a big way. At that time, he will definitely fill up the wine cellar, and use the most elegant wine utensils and the most fragrant wine every day.

Which wine set is the most elegant? Of course, it is the most elegant and top-notch thing used by the high society of Roserva!

The hall was full of the tree elf nobles' beautiful imaginations about the future, but one of them remained calm and did not indulge in Jonathan's beautiful dreams.

He is Proud, known as the sage of the forest.

"Humans have given you such a petty profit, are you satisfied?" the tree elf snorted coldly.

"Then what else do you expect to get? Our conditions are so thin and pale, in this case, human beings have given enough benefits."

The leader of the barren hill tribe said so.

"Idiot, do you only have this little interest in your eyes? Let me tell you, the little interest they compromised today will be able to earn back a hundred times a thousand times from trade in the future."

The forest sage lashed out in anger: "Look at what you have done. For the sake of money and to enjoy life, let our warriors go to work for them."

"This is also to solve the food shortage." The leader of the Shenze tribe explained.

"You know exactly what you're thinking!" Proud glared at him hatefully, took a deep breath, and said solemnly when his mood completely calmed down:

"This time, it is also an opportunity for mankind to hire our warriors to fight."

"Opportunity? Are you referring to the thirty acres of land?" the Prince Regent asked with a frown.

"No..." The forest sage shook his head and said meaningfully:

"It's an opportunity to learn their knowledge. You have to remember that our tree elves also had their glory days. At that time, they were by no means inferior to humans! As long as we learn the knowledge and technology they have mastered, we can still reach the peak again."

"..." There was silence in the hall, and all the tree elves leaders looked disapproving.

"what should we do?"

Mizdno was still a little ambitious, so he quickly asked humbly.

"There is no rush now, we have to take it slow, and when the warriors reach Antrazu and have a foothold, we will buy books, then study the spells they have mastered, and even... send our children to receive them. Education. This has to be done step-by-step, to test the bottom line of the Roseviers."

Proud squinted his eyes, faced the regent and the other eleven tribal leaders, and said eloquently: "And these all require funds, and we can't get anything without money."

"In exchange for... minerals and resources?" The leader of the Moonlight Tribe hesitated and said cautiously.

"It's not enough, if we rely too much on export resources, as long as the Rosevians move, we will be finished." The great sage closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said:

"We also have to come up with competitive products to compete with human products!"

"We can sell art, precious plants, wine, fruit, and textiles..." The Regent racked his brains to list, and soon he was disheartened to find that it was impossible to compete with these things alone. Humanity.

"Actually...there is one thing that humans can't compete with us no matter what." Proud was silent for a long time before he said cautiously.

"What? Is there anything human beings are inferior to us?" The tree elves raised their ears at the same time.

"Beautiful!" The forest sage spit out a few syllables from his mouth as if he was using all his strength.

"What's the use of beauty, can beauty be used to fight wars, and can it be eaten as food?" The tree elves were in an uproar.

"You don't seem to realize that in human society, there is a class of professions that can make a lot of money, get close to their upper-level people, and influence their lower-level people. Also, it doesn't take much talent to become this profession, and it is beautiful. That's it."

"What profession is so unreliable?" The Prince Regent's face was full of disbelief.

"Singers, dancers, and... actresses. These professions all rely on performing arts to please people. There is beauty in everything. The most successful singer can earn millions of soles for one performance."

"Millions!"

The tree elves took a deep breath. Only an elite warrior can sell for 50,000 yuan, and a performance is worth 20 times the price. Human beings are really extravagant.

"We need to train a large number of singers, dancers, and actresses, so that they can earn wealth for the royal court, influence the concept of tree elves at the upper and lower levels of human beings, and accumulate strength... and then..."

"You don't want to rebel, do you?" The leader of the Wild Hills Tribe shook his legs and almost collapsed.

"How could we possibly defeat the Empire? They are too powerful."

"Rosevians are too much stronger than us, it's impossible, they almost destroyed the sea of ​​​​tree world by themselves!"

...

Seeing that the elf leaders looked like they were talking about "people", they looked like they were frightened and useless.

"As long as they don't harm the interests of the tree elves, why should we betray them? We just want to improve our lives and gain more wealth."

"That's right, we just want to make money."

"Didn't the messenger also say that he wants to become rich with us?"

"It's no problem to make good money. In terms of beauty alone, humans will definitely not be able to compete with tree elves."

The tree elf leaders swallowed a pill of reassurance, and began to imagine the future happily again, thinking that the tree elf men or women would become popular in the human world, bringing them inexhaustible gold and silver mountains.

These cowardly cowards!

Proud can't wait to kill them all at this moment. Do they think they can live a stable life as long as they cooperate with human beings resolutely?

Without strength, there is nothing. Don't they understand this kind of thing?

No... they understand that since they can become the leader of the tribe, then they understand better than any tree elves. Everything is just because human beings are too powerful, so powerful that they have lost the courage to resist.

If this continues, the tree elves will be completely reduced to human vassals!
