Chapter 593: Oil and Rubber
Elf! A character who will never be absent in the fantasy world!
Etc., etc!
Paul suddenly thought of an important thing.
Don't know what style the elves in this world are?
Wouldn't this be off-putting if it was Lao Tuanfeng's?
"Well... what do those elves look like? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
Nigel noticed that the lord's eyes were suddenly full of curiosity.
He said enthusiastically: "My lord, each of them has a nearly perfect face in the eyes of humans, with well-proportioned figures and slender limbs. Their skin is as white and smooth as the porcelain you made."
As he spoke, he still showed a look of intoxication, and his eyes were full of memories.
The other two captains also laughed "hehehe", and even the young Allen had a blush on his face.
Paul immediately realized that the group of guys in front of him might have had special contact with elves in some special place.
Think about a group of sailors who have been floating at sea for several months, what is the first thing they can do after landing?
Most of them will choose to enjoy themselves in time. The sea is moody, so we should cherish every time we go ashore safely.
"Ahem!" Paul showed a serious expression, "Gentlemen, I thank you for your willingness to abandon those wonderful exotic beauties and return to my side."
Nigel smiled embarrassedly when she realized that she had lost her composure.
He went on to introduce: "Because of the appearance of the elves, they are often attacked by human slave catchers from across the isthmus, and many elves live as slaves in the northern human kingdoms."
Paul asked, "Are the elves weak in force?"
Nigel nodded, "How should I put it, the metal smelting and forging technology of the elves is not very developed, and it seems that there are very few metal minerals in their forests. But..."
He made a turn, "The elves have a secret weapon, which is a terrible fuel. It can be sprayed on the target and ignited, and it will never be extinguished. Even water can't extinguish it. Humans there are very afraid of this terrible weapon. "
"But the elves love their forests too much, so such fire-prone weapons are not often used by them, so in general they are much weaker than their human neighbors in the north."
Greek fire? No sooner had Nigel finished describing the fuel than the word popped into Paul's mind.
Even water can't put it out, isn't it exactly in line with this characteristic?
If it was really Greek fire, Paul became excited. According to posterity, Greek fire seems to contain oil, which is known as the blood of industrial civilization.
"Oh, by the way, Graham-sama."
Nigel reached into his coat pocket, fumbled for something, and after a few seconds pulled out something.
"We've also found a strange substance in the elves, which I think our naturalists here will be interested in."
Paul took the thing in his hand, it was a soft light yellow jelly, changing its shape constantly with the movement of his palm, pinching it flat and rounding it, doing whatever it wanted.
Nigel said with a smile: "It's quite relaxing to hold hands like this when you're free."
At this time, he noticed the change in Paul's face, which was a mixture of excitement, joy, and eagerness.
rubber! This lump Nigel brought back is natural rubber! In other words, unvulcanized raw rubber!
"Master Graham, Lord Graham."
"what?"
Paul, who was immersed in excitement, didn't react until Nigel and others called him several times in a row.
Nigel breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't understand why the lord was attracted by this group of light yellow jelly.
"Nigel!"
Paul suddenly ordered, which scared the leader of the exploration team into a shiver.
"Yes, Graham-sama!"
"You and your crew, eat well, drink well, rest well, and give me a good health! After the renovation is complete, I need you to set off again!"
"Yes, Graham-sama!"
"This time you go straight to the land of elves. I ask you to establish contact with the elves, and it is best to gain their friendship."
"Yes, Graham-sama!"
Paul's heart was extremely excited, this is oil and rubber, elves, elves, you don't know what a precious treasure mountain you are sitting on, do you?

In the spring of 1995 in the Holy Calendar, a news spread quickly throughout the entire Aldo Kingdom.
King Rodney XVII was called by the Lord, and his nephew Gerd Rodney succeeded him. Of course, he should be called His Majesty Rodney XVIII now.
The death of the old king is not surprising, after all, the king has been widely known as frail and sick in his later years.
What is surprising is his heir. Many people speculate that his daughter Catherine will succeed to the throne and become the first female king in the history of Aldo. More people think that the king will follow the tradition and let his younger brother Jasim succession.
But no one guessed that the real successor was his nephew Gerd, this guy is not the first heir anyway.
The new king has caused discussions among many forces in the Aldo Kingdom.
In the castle of Grand Duke Greedy Wolf, Giles held a banquet and invited many of his vassals.
"Hahahaha! This is the Lord of Light helping me!"
Giles raised his glass, his excitement palpable.
"I really don't know what our majesty the king thinks, to pass the throne to such a young man. Catherine, she has the support of the army, and she also has the ability to fight. Jasim, old and cunning, is very popular among the nobles. , I am afraid of these two people. As for Gerd, hahahaha, it’s not that I underestimate him, he’s just a butler who manages the royal family’s property!”
The grand duke's chest was burning with ambition soaring.
He saw Jingyao's crown beckoning to him, and it was time to raise his troops to march north again.
He announced his plans to his vassals.
"This time we will definitely be able to hit Jingyao!"
"I am confident that Lord Giles will lead us to be invincible!"
The vassals were also passionate, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com expressed their loyalty and confidence one after another.
"Master Giles, shall we wait first?"
Unlike most, his love will Samar speak out for advice.
"Oh why?"
Samar explained to him:
"Jasim is Gerd's father, maybe it's okay, but what about Catherine? Will there be a fight with her cousins?
If the two can fight, it will be a good show.
It's best to fight to the detriment of both sides. After waiting for such a situation, if you raise your own troops again, wouldn't it be ruined all the way?
It's like knocking down a broken house.
The Grand Duke thought viciously in his heart.
The spies placed in Jingyao need to be moved.
