Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2016 Example of Ten Silver Coins

Through this trial at the Ancient Tree of Elves, John obtained the class 'Life Mage', while Sion obtained the class 'Druid'.

Don't think that just because Sion was originally an Elf Druid, the 'Druid' class is useless to him.

John is the same; wood elf mages are essentially 'life mages,' and their magic is of the life attribute.

Even if you know all the mantras and spells provided by those classes, there will still be at least a 15% to 30% difference in overall combat power between those with and without classes!

Because job classes come with passive enhancements; it's not just giving you a spell, but a whole system.

Not to mention, you might not even have all the spells available in this class.

There is currently no war in their Great Zhou. Previously, the main task of the Wood Elf Mage Corps was to assist the Sand Control Department in stabilizing and expanding the green area of ​​their Great Zhou's various oasis strongholds in the desert.

After a period of time, the preliminary work has been basically completed, and the follow-up work mainly depends on the daily consolidation efforts of the sand control department.

Under this premise, it's perfectly reasonable to let the wood elf mages go to the elven forest to train for a period of time.

Although they have been engaged in sand control and greening work for a long time, don't forget that they are essentially military forces. Improving their strength and assisting the Great Zhou forces in combat during wartime is their top priority.

In fact, it wasn't just the Wood Elf Mage Corps; Zhou Xu planned to have all the elves within the Great Zhou Dynasty undergo a trial of inheritance from the Ancient Elf Tree.

Dark elves are an exception.

After all, there is no dark elf legacy in the Ancient Tree of Elves...

As for the dark elves, this winter, having fully caught up with the training efficiency of the Great Zhou, Eredar undoubtedly enjoyed the pleasure of steadily increasing strength.

Of course, this increase in strength is mainly concentrated on combat skills.

As Ereda was constantly ravaged by Yarvit, Zhou Chongshan, and Xie Liancheng, he realized that he had indeed relied too much on the 'Shadow Thorns' for combat support.

Relying solely on himself and the greatsword in his hand, his combat skills, while not terrible, were certainly passable.

Now, after several months of training, Ereda feels that she is a completely different person.

If he were to fight Wright one-on-one again now, he would definitely win much more easily.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a couple of harsh laughs.

During this process, as winter approaches, the alert level on this side of the border in the new district is also raised.

At first, Eredar didn't pay much attention, but during one halftime break, Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan suddenly started talking about the question, "I wonder if the orcs will attack this winter?"

Zhou Chongshan said he didn't care, while Xie Liancheng hoped the other side would attack so he could stretch his muscles.

This piqued Ereda's interest, who was listening nearby.

"What's up with this orc?"

Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan did not hide anything from the other party and told them directly about the Orc Alliance.

After hearing this, Ereda's first reaction was...

"Why not just send troops to wipe them out? Is that orc alliance really stronger than us?"

In response to this question, Xie Liancheng slowly spoke after organizing his thoughts...

"It's really hard to say how strong the Orc Alliance is. The information we have is very limited. We only know that there is an Orc King named Lion King Baffa, whose strength should be at the Transcendent Realm. We don't know if there are any other combatants of the same level besides him. This is an uncertain factor."

"However, what we can confirm is that the Orc Alliance is definitely larger than your Elf race." "If we want to deal with the Orc Alliance, we will have to mobilize a large force."

"Mobilizing a large force requires a lot of resources."

As a relatively pure military general, Xie Liancheng's military talent was quite average.

However, thanks to his modern identity, he has a very broad perspective, and as Zhou Xu's childhood friend, he understands Zhou Xu's thoughts very well.

Therefore, he had a general idea of ​​why Zhou Xu was not attacking the Orc Alliance at this moment.

Simply put, it's not worth it.

"As it stands, the Orc Alliance poses no threat to us. They haven't come back since they had a bad experience here a couple of years ago."

"Under this premise, according to known intelligence, the territory of the Orc Alliance is still resource-poor and barren."

"To give a simple example, if we have ten silver coins and we want to fight the Orc Alliance, we need to put all ten silver coins in, but in the end we may only get one or two silver coins back."

"There's no threat, and it's a losing proposition. Do you think there's any point in fighting this war?"

After joining the Great Zhou and becoming a member of the Great Zhou border garrison, Ereda naturally received a salary.

In fact, he had been receiving his salary for the past few months and had already bought himself a lot of daily necessities. Occasionally, when he had a break, he would go to the city with Zhou Chongshan and Xie Liancheng to improve their meals. He was living a better life than the Elf King Light.

Through continuous consumption and earning wages, he had long since developed a precise understanding of silver coins.

Now, using ten silver coins as an example, Xie Liancheng immediately understood the matter.

Can you exchange ten silver coins for one or two silver coins?

Only a fool would do that!

Unconsciously influenced by the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ereda's ideas gradually began to change.

This winter, although Jie Liancheng was looking forward to stretching his muscles, the Orc Alliance clearly knew that the Great Zhou was a tough nut to crack and had no intention of kicking it.

This allowed the border troops stationed in the new district to have a peaceful winter.

Quietly, winter passed and spring arrived, and the seasons changed.

In the spring of the 102nd year of the Imperial Calendar, in the medicinal garden of the Great Zhou Rainforest region, Ye Yan, the head of the medical department, was disheveled and staring intently at the liquid in the test tube in front of him.

As the medicine was dripped in, the liquid in the test tube seemed to undergo a new change, eventually turning into the color of fresh blood. Then, when the test tube was gently shaken, the liquid swayed and became somewhat viscous.

"Color, texture, and smell"

Following the instructions on the recipe, Ye Yan checked each item one by one, and finally, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Success! I finally succeeded! I've finally concocted the gnoll totem potion!!"

Ultimately, the orcs were too uncultured. The descriptions of various medicinal herbs on the list were ambiguous and unclear, and many of the names of the herbs had changed due to the passage of time.

This forced Ye Yan to constantly test and compare various medicinal materials according to the descriptions on the list.

This is a long process that requires a significant investment of time and effort.

And now he has finally succeeded!
