Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Seven days later, Li Ming sat behind a small stall on the street, loudly hawking: "Don't miss out! Limited-time sale of useful magical items!"

"All sorts of magical items to enhance physical strength and accelerate recovery are available!"

Four days have passed since Lina arrived at the royal court, and she has received no news from the Elf Elders after going to communicate with them.

These days, he has been arranged by Elon to rest in a hotel.

With nothing to do, he discussed with the hotel and set up a small stall on the street outside the hotel.

At the reception station, he earned a full 5 gold coins, enough to buy goods from the system and sell them at a stall.

"Boss, give me a bottle of [purification potion]."

"Alright, here you go. This is a gift of one Moon Spring Crystal."

"Guest, are you satisfied with this [purifying potion] after using it?"

"Satisfied, satisfied. If not, can I come back to buy again?"

"Well... could you please help spread the word? I'll give you a 10% discount for every new customer you bring."

"No!"

"20% off, 30% off... Hey~~~ Don't leave, customer!"

The repeat customer ran off without looking back, and no matter how Li Ming called after him, it was no use.

"Why are all the elves in the royal court so rich? They don't even want discounts."

"That makes sense. Apart from the young elves who haven't reached adulthood yet, everyone living in this Elf Royal Court is at least a third-tier Gold Elf, so they naturally won't lack money."

"With such strength, it's no wonder the elves can occupy such a large area of ​​forest."

The Elf race is not large; as far as Li Ming knows, it has no more than 30 million people, making it the second smallest major race in the world.

Other races have hundreds of millions of members, while the human race has reached tens of billions.

However, no race dares to underestimate the elves, because the elves have a very high minimum standard and a decent maximum standard. If it weren't for their pitiful birth rate, this world would probably have been dominated by elves long ago.

After the repeat customer left, Li Ming sat down again, feeling bored, while the person selling the echo ball next to him was still loudly hawking their wares.

The Elven race is a society with a highly developed magical civilization, where one in five elves is a magician skilled in crafting magical items.

Although elves primarily create items based on nature magic, all methods lead to the same goal, and by taking a few detours, they can achieve the same effects as spells from other systems.

Therefore, the magical items that Li Ming sells are not very popular here.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the props he displayed were just some ordinary, unsynthesized props.

However, for some reason, the [purification potion] has become quite popular these past few days, with more and more people buying it, but none of the customers have helped promote it.

"This is really strange. What are these elves doing here? Do they need to drink medicine to replenish their energy inside the royal court?"

"But aren't there more potion-makers than magicians among the elves? Basically, every elf can concoct some potions, so why would they want to buy my [purification potion]?"

"Does this [purifying potion] have some other function that I don't know about?"

"Isn't it just about continuously restoring energy?"

Li Ming didn't quite understand why the [purification potion] was selling so well, but he couldn't just not sell it if there was money to be made.

"Brother Li Ming, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Li Ming looked up and saw that it was Cyril, Elon's follower.

"Brother Cyril, is there any news about Mage Lina?"

"Not yet. Miss Lina has encountered some problems, but they're not serious and should be resolved in a while." Cyril pulled out a chair from the hotel and sat down next to Li Ming.

"Have you been setting up a stall here these past few days?"

"Yeah, there's not much to do, so this is all I can do. Do you want to buy some? I recommend this [purifying potion], it's been selling really well lately."

"Well, how about one bottle? Oh, and by the way, didn't you visit any tourist attractions?"

"A Moon Spring Crystal. May I go?"

Cyril was shocked and reluctantly pulled out a Moon Spring Crystal: "You really didn't go? I didn't believe the shopkeeper when he told me you'd been setting up your stall here the whole time."

"Isn't our Elven Royal Court beautiful? Doesn't it have anything that attracts you?"

Li Ming blinked and replied, "But didn't I come here as Lina's attendant?"

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to wander around like that?"

"The appraisal results for the energy coins and experience orbs are still pending."

"It wouldn't be good if I wandered off and you thought I was a con artist."

In this royal court inhabited entirely by elves, although he longed to wander around, he felt uneasy and decided it was better to stay near the inn.

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings if something happens and no one can find him.

Cyril tried to persuade Li Ming for a while, but Li Ming insisted on not moving, so Cyril finally gave up.

The two chatted for a while longer before Cyril got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Li Ming stopped him: "Brother Cyril, could you please ask about the progress of the appraisal for me?"

"It might be a bit troublesome. Miss Lina is also in charge of the identification. She's currently busy dealing with the human race's request for help, so she might not be able to handle it for a while."

"It's alright, just tell Brother Elon for me to ask about the progress."

"Okay, I'll submit it for you normally and see if someone else can help you with the authentication!"

"Okay, thanks!"

After Cyril left, Li Ming leaned back in his deck chair and leisurely basked in the sun.

Cyril hadn't gone far when he turned onto a side road and went into a treehouse.

Inside the treehouse, a tall elf had been waiting for some time.

"How did things go?"

Cyril lowered his head. "Elder, that boy is completely unreasonable. He won't go anywhere. I told him I'd take him to see the Mother Tree, but he wouldn't go."

"Isn't that place off-limits to other races? But that didn't interest him at all."

He said he was afraid of causing misunderstandings, but I think he's just a coward.

"Elder, why don't we tie him up? He's so timid. If we use some tricks, he'll definitely confess where those magical items came from."

Before he could finish speaking, a huge roar echoed through the room: "Idiot!"

"Since you know the Mother Tree is not open to humans, why did you still say you'd take him to see it?"

"Isn't this obviously saying something's wrong with you?"

A vine stretched out from the ceiling and bound Cyril tightly.

With a muffled groan, Cyril's arm was snapped off by the powerful force of the vines.

"As expected, only idiots like you would follow that good-for-nothing."

"If you weren't still somewhat useful, I would have used you to feed my mangoes today."

Cyril lowered his head, enduring the pain of his severed arm. A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes as he pleaded repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Elder, it was my fault for not doing my job properly."

"I'll tie that human up later and help the elder find out his secret."

The elder's anger subsided slightly, and he used the vines to place Cyril on the ground.

"Get up. You may be a bit slow, but you do have some ideas. Go back to my shop and get some healing potions to treat your hand."

"I will arrange for someone to take care of your son's matter."

"What did that human say to you at the end?"

Cyril knelt on the ground, pressed down on his severed arm, and cast a healing spell despite the pain.

"Reporting to the elder, he asked me to inquire about the progress of the appraisal."

"Appraisal? What appraisal?"

"The pair of gloves that the human sold to you, young master, can turn essence into a pile of gold coins and balls. You request that they be appraised."

"Oh, you mean that? I've checked it. The energy is too low, not even comparable to two Moon Spring Crystals. It's practically worthless. Does he want to speed up the progress?"

"Yes."

"Go ahead and submit the application for authentication, and I'll arrange for someone to conduct the authentication."

"Elder, should I still tie him up?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Trying to kidnap Lina's attendant in the heart of the royal court? How many lives do you have?" The elder's anger surged again.

He wasn't afraid of Cyril dying, but he was mainly afraid of being exposed.

"Since you can't trick that human away, then you should try to build a good relationship with him. Maybe you can get some clues out of him."

Cyril replied respectfully, "Yes!"

There was silence in the room for a long time. Cyril looked up and saw that there was no one else in the room.

"You bastard..."
