Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 159 Salute to You
"High elves? Where did they come from?"

At the Bloodstone Castle construction site, Granny Oak looked at Isaacs with a puzzled expression on his face.

"From the south, the high elves of Iseng established a colony in the south, and we established trade relations with them."

Lyle answered.

"It's a colony led by the Silver Leaf family."

Isaacs interjected, he was a big fan of the Silver Leaf family.

The reason is of course faith. Isaacs is a follower of the "Prince of Starlight" Aslani, so he naturally resists Tyrion who is promoting the faith of the "God of War" Vandre in Iseng.

Ordinary elves are weak and naturally cannot fight against Talion, so those who resist Talion like them all gathered around the Silver Leaf family to protect their common beliefs together.

"So my obsidian runes are selling pretty well?"

Granny Oak's face turned proud. He was a flamboyant person and was very confident in his craftsmanship. The fact that this high elf came to see him specially was a recognition of his strength, which naturally made him happy.

As for the "Prince of Starlight", the "God of War", the Silver Leaf Family, and Talion, Granny Oak doesn't care about these guys at all. Anyway, these matters are none of his business.

"Of course, Master Oak. The obsidian runes you crafted are of excellent quality and have earned the praise of Miss Okanina. That's why we signed a trade agreement with Wangbo Port."

Isaacs' main point is to tell the truth, and he is not polite even if Lyle, one of the managers of Wangbo Port, is standing next to him.

There was no way. In their eyes, the other goods brought from Wangbo Port were nothing special. Even those magical materials were not that outstanding in the eyes of the high elves.

This is all Werner's fault. He didn't take out any secret treasures, but just some ordinary stuff. This is naturally not enough to impress the high elves, but Werner also has something to say.

The vampire mages in Wangbo Port need spell materials, and the teaching of "Wangbo Port Magic Academy" also requires spell materials. However, there is currently no income from magic materials, and it is purely supported by thousands of years of savings. Of course, they cannot be sold casually.

Being able to give some to the caravan to trade with the high elves was already a way for Werner to give face to Uther. Otherwise, even if the matter was brought to Lord Karen, Werner would have something to say.

"Hahaha~ Well, you high elves are quite knowledgeable!"

No matter what Lyle thought of Isaacs' words, Granny Oak was very happy to hear them.

In fact, Lyle didn't have any ideas. He felt that the high elves' recognition of Granny Oak was beneficial to Port Hope.

This is the master effect, the brand effect. The more the high elves recognize Granny Oak, the easier it will be for them to do business.

"Master Oak is our ace craftsman in Wangbo Port. He is not only proficient in dwarven runes, but also in other aspects."

Lyle also began to praise, constantly improving Granny Oak's status and reputation. Granny Oak is made of real material, so he is naturally not afraid of being praised, and he will not fall no matter how high he is praised.

Now, people in Wangbo Port have great confidence in Granny Oak's abilities, and are no longer as skeptical as they were at the beginning.

"That's right. Jewelry, armor, weapons, runes, city building, mining, there's nothing I don't master. Granny of the Oak family, go ask around. I guarantee no one will say a bad word!"

Being praised by Lyle, Granny Oak also got carried away. He was just like that. He liked to drink a little wine and brag a little. But fortunately, he really had skills, so it was not considered bragging. At most, he was just not very humble.

"If we want to make armor and weapons, can we ask you for help?" Isaacs said seriously. He really believed it.

"Of course, but I'm not going to ask for a low price."

Granny Oak picked up the wooden wine glass and took a sip of wine, looking refreshed. He wiped his beard and put it on the shelf.

"It's okay, as long as the quality is good."

Isaacs looked delighted. As long as it could be done, the high price was not a problem. Others couldn't even find a dwarf master.

"I can accept custom orders from outsiders like you, but the materials you provide must be good and worthwhile for me to buy. Otherwise, I won't accept it. I'm busy enough with the affairs of Wangbo Port."

Isaacs's "rich and powerful" appearance made Granny Oak alert. He didn't want to find himself a lot of trouble. Although making money was important, the most important thing for him now was to build Bloodstone Castle.

If the goal is to create a magical weapon that may be passed down for a long time, then it may make him excited, but forget about the rest.

"Of course. Crafting ordinary weapons and armor won't be a big deal for you. We in the Yinye family have quite a few craftsmen. Although their skills aren't as good as yours, they're more than enough."

Isaacs nodded in agreement as a matter of course. If they were to come to Granny Oak to forge armor and weapons, it was naturally to forge magical weapons. Why would it be so difficult to forge ordinary weapons and armor?

"That's fine."

Granny Oak was relieved now. He thought this was a good thing. The High Elves must have a lot of treasures, which might provide him with many opportunities to create magical weapons.

For dwarf craftsmen, building magnificent and sturdy castles and creating magical weapons are the most meaningful things in life.

"It's really gratifying that Master Oak puts the affairs of Bloodstone Castle first."

A human, a dwarf and a high elf were communicating when someone suddenly interrupted them. This made Granny Oak and Lyle startled, while Isaacs looked at the newcomer curiously.

At first glance, the first thing that attracts attention is definitely the pointed ears. After all, Isaacs is a high elf, so he naturally pays special attention to this feature. The man is tall and handsome, but not as slender as a high elf.

"Half-elf?"

Isaacs was sure that this was a half-elf of high elf descent. It was easy to tell them apart because there was a clear difference in their body shapes.

"Ahem, Isaacs, this is the owner of Wangbo Port, Lord Karen."

Lyle poked Isaacs with his hand and introduced him in a low voice, which made Isaacs' expression immediately serious.

"Greetings to you, respected Lord Karen."

Isaacs saluted immediately, using the High Elf manner, a way of expressing recognition to a Half-Elf.

This brings us once again to the awkward position of half-elves. They are treated as humans among elves and as elves among humans. They cannot please either side and are neither human nor fair.
