Chapter 107 The Deal in Silvermoon City, Void Energy Blocks, Holy Light Energy

Soon, four blood elf mages from Silvermoon City were brought before Rhodes and Sylvanas.

"Greetings, Great Banshee Queen, Regent of the Sin'dorei, and Prince Kael'thas. We extend our greetings to you," one of the mages said as he approached the two.

"Hmm! You've come here to discuss a collaboration, right?" Sylvanas asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Queen of the Banshees, and Mr. Rhodes, those magical clouds you gave us are indeed very useful," said a Sin'dorei mage following behind.

After these magical red clouds were brought back to Silvermoon City, the mages conducted some research and experiments on them.

Storing these clouds is not difficult; all you need are specific magical items.

Even when these special clouds are exposed to the air, they can persist for a period of time, usually several hours before dissipating.

Various magical clouds possess a levitation energy that can act on objects and then lift them into the sky.

The mages of Silvermoon City conducted some experiments and even sent some clouds to Prince Kael'thas, who was far away in Stormhold in Outland.

Both the Regent and the Prince came to the same conclusion: to teach Mr. Rhodes well and to obtain as many of these special clouds as possible.

After all, the clouds that Rhodes had given them for experiments had been used up, and if they wanted to continue their research, they would need more of these clouds.

"I am very willing to cooperate and develop this special cloud together. I wonder what kind of price the Sin'dorei of Silvermoon City can offer?" Rhodes asked.

It even alarmed Kael'thas, but Kael'thas probably doesn't know his true identity yet.

After all, the Legion didn't take a liking to him; they only wanted him to hand over these special spatial energies to Kael'thas.

In the eyes of the legion, he was just a dispensable nobody.

"Honorable Lord Rhodes, and Queen of the Banshees, I wonder which of you two can make the final decision on this matter?" At this moment, a Sin'dorei mage asked.

After all, there needs to be someone in charge when discussing cooperation. I need to know who's in charge here.

"Rhodes can represent me fully, so you can talk freely," Sylvanas said.

Several blood elf mages showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this. The former Windrunner Ranger-General, now the Banshee Queen Sylvanas, had actually chosen this man to represent her.

"Mr. Rhodes! These special clouds can be used to build a floating city fortress. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we can help you transform a floating city fortress afterward, and you just need to provide us with these special clouds," a blood elf mage said.

A special type of cloud whose greatest ability is to fly, so it can be used to produce items that allow for solo or group flight.

Solo flying mounts do exist in the world of Azeroth, so there's absolutely no need to research clouds to create a solo flying mount. Therefore, the most cost-effective option is naturally a floating city.

A giant flying fortress would be a great deterrent, and if Silvermoon City had a flying fortress, it would be a good thing for all the people of Sin'dorei.

The mages who maintained the portal at the time witnessed it firsthand. They saw how Kaido used those special clouds to lift up the entire Hellfire Citadel!

It wasn't just Hellfire Citadel; the surrounding lands and small fortresses on the Hellfire Peninsula were also covered by this cloud of flames.

With enough resources and the assistance of some magical technology, building a floating fortress is not too difficult.

"I'm providing these special clouds, and you're building a floating city for me. It seems like I'm the one who's at a disadvantage!" Rhodes said.

"Mr. Rhodes, is there anything else you require? Please feel free to make your request," the mage representative said, bowing to Rhodes.

If this were the high elves of the past, they would never have spoken to a human with such politeness.

But there's nothing they can do now; their race has declined, and more than 60% of the inhabitants perished in that disaster.

The entire High Elf race now numbers only a few hundred thousand, a far cry from their previous million-strong population. They must now learn to humble themselves, especially since even their prince has pledged allegiance to a demon hunter. (At this time, the Silvermoon City leadership is unaware that Kael'thas has already joined the Burning Legion.)

"This special cloud energy will be sold to your Silvermoon City as a consumable. You will need to pay money or provide other resources to purchase it," Rhodes said.

Providing you with supplies is no problem, but it won't be free; you'll have to pay for it.

"Mr. Rhodes, if you propose that we purchase it, how would the price be calculated?" a mage from Silvermoon City asked.

"Prices are negotiable. Besides gold coins, you can earn all sorts of rare magical items, special energies, alchemical potions, and even blood elf mages who come to work for me," Rhodes said.

If the floating project is successfully established, then the Horde will need to build at least three. After all, the orcs, as the leaders of the Horde, need one, the blood elves need one with their help in the research, and Undercity needs one.

"We understand, Mr. Rhodes. We wonder if you are interested in any kind of Holy Light energy? Our Prince Kael'thas captured a wondrous Holy Light creature from Outland. It possesses a continuous flow of Holy Light energy. Perhaps we can use this special Holy Light energy to make a deal with it."

"In addition, Your Highness, while in the Outer Realms, you also used void energy to refine a very special void energy block. If you are interested, we can use this to trade with you," the blood elf representative mage said.

Recently, the prince has sent back many good things from Outland. In addition to a certain holy light creature, there is also a Void Void Energy Crystal, which is a type of Void Energy refined from Void Energy in Stormhold.

Some of these special energy crystals have been transported back to Silvermoon City, greatly alleviating the magic addiction symptoms of some ordinary residents.

"We can trade some Void Energy Blocks, but as for Holy Light Energy, do you have anything that can store it?" Rhodes asked.

This extracted holy light energy is a way of forcibly using holy light. Perhaps Rhode could bring this power to the pirate world and see if any strange effects would occur.

As for Void Energy Blocks, they are a highly portable energy source that can effectively address the blood elves' mana addiction problem.

It's also a great source of energy for Rhodes, and I can be a director! Taking these void energy blocks to the Marvel universe might just attract Iron Man's attention.

After all, in the timeline he traveled to, a certain Iron Man was currently struggling with energy issues, and even if he solved the energy problem, he believed that Iron Man would definitely be interested in this new void energy.

"We possess magical items that can store holy light energy. If you wish, we can trade. We have already created a magical device that can store this cloud of flames. Once installed, we can immediately begin constructing the floating city," the blood elf mage said.

"Then it's settled. We'll exchange Holy Light Energy or Void Energy Blocks of equal value for Flame Clouds of equal value. We can trade on a long-term basis," Rhodes said.

The four blood elf mages nodded in satisfaction. Then, the two sides discussed some details and the mages immediately set off to return to Silvermoon City to report the results of the negotiations.

Soon after, some blood elf mages will arrive with special magical equipment, as well as void energy blocks and holy light energy blocks, to help Undercity assemble a floating fortress.

Meanwhile, Rhodes also assured that he would provide enough Flame Cloud.

Anyway, as long as you have enough stamina, I'll make as much of this stuff as you need. I'll drink stamina potions while I make it for you.

"It looks like we'll soon have a floating fortress. I never imagined Kael'thas could find a special kind of Holy Light lifeform in Outland, and those Void Energy Blocks refined from Void Energy." (These special Void Energy Blocks exist in the Tempest Keep dungeon complex; this item is not fictional.)

"I reckon the way they store my Flame Cloud is by compressing it into energy blocks, since the Blood Elves have already obtained this technology," Rhodes said.

Simply using magical items to store energy takes up too much space; compressing it into solid energy blocks is much more convenient.

"Oh! You don't want this technology?" Sylvanas asked.

Given this kid's personality, he should have gone all out to get his hands on this technology once he learned about it.

"I'm only providing energy, not technology. The Blood Elves have energy of equal value, and they'd even trade two kinds for it with me, so I won't raise the price for now," Rhodes said with a smile.

The Blood Elves probably won't be able to deliver Holy Light energy for long, since a certain Naaru is about to be drained dry.

As for the void energy blocks extracted from Stormhold, it's uncertain whether Stormhold will belong to the Blood Elves once it's captured.

Moreover, once they leave the location of Storm Fortress, there isn't enough void energy for them to compress the energy blocks.

If you don't have items of equal value to trade then, I will naturally trade something else.

However, you need to build your floating city first, and then you'll be dependent on my energy.
