Chapter 18: Plan four

　　 Night came.
　　Steven Zhou thought about how to take down the Mithril Mine with the golden seeds in his hands. He has made a preliminary analysis of this mysterious seed, but unfortunately nothing has been found. It has incredible hardness, and it can't be shaken by any force or spell. Stephen Chow smashed it hundreds of times with a hammer, and finally there was a small pit on the golden seed fart without the hammer.
　　 "What the is this?"
　　'S curiosity about the unknown made Stephen Zhou want to plant it, but reason told him that this matter must be taken seriously.
　　He caressed the golden oak seed and muttered: "Where did it come from? One seed is so powerful, what about the tree that bred it? It must not be as powerful as the gods?"
　　 is still not sure to what extent the world's powerhouses can be reached. Stephen Chou worried that it will be difficult to attract the coveted legendary caster after planting. But holding such a treasure in his hand, he couldn't figure out its role, which also made Stephen Zhou stunned. He wanted to plant this seed in his half plane.
　　 The so-called [half plane] is a space created by the legendary caster.
　　 However, most of the eccentric plane space created by the caster is very small, and only those with an area of ​​more than one thousand square kilometers can barely be called a half plane. The space of the different space in Stephen's week is not large. A shaped half-plane takes at least 50 years to cultivate. The famous half-planes in the period of the Arcane Empire are passed from generation to generation. The expansion of the elemental power in this has expanded to a great extent. The largest half plane controlled by the Supreme Arcane Council is the [Construction Realm], with an area of ​​about 1.5 million square kilometers. It took more than 1,800 years before and after the seven generations of Arcanists to form.
This half-plane has complete gravity, soil, magma, sunlight, air, water, atmosphere, energy barrier, etc. It has a temperature, climate, and weather close to the normal planet. It can grow most plants, and it can also make the most Most of the intelligent life survives inside.
　　 The biggest difference between it and a planet is that the half-plane is a plane, protected by an elliptical energy barrier, and the deepest underground is the channel of elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, rather than the earth's crust structure.
Stephen's half plane was severely damaged in the chaos of time and space. Originally, his half plane was used to store resources, so basically there was no ecosystem, and even gravity is not standard, which is equivalent to being isolated by an energy barrier A void. It is said that the half plane is actually only a small different space. The element channel is established on the bottom layer, and there is an energy barrier on the outer layer. There is no air in it, and no living things can be saved at all.
　　 soft footsteps sounded.
　　Stephen Zhou quickly collected the golden seeds, and then said to the Countess Elijah who was hesitant standing outside the door: "Come in."
　　 creaking.
The Countess Elijah gently pushed the door to enter. She washed the clothes during the day, and now she is wearing a light blue shirt and long skirt, pale blonde hair hanging down to the waist, and fair skin under the light It looks like a beautiful jade, the chest is tall, the waist is slender, the slender legs are looming under the long skirt, the proud posture is full of the femininity of the mature woman, the skirt has delicate lace, the bare feet are crystal clear and translucent, like Unspeakable charm. As the famous lady of the Windwind City, her beauty is one of the best in the entire northern border. Before entering the room, she was full of confidence, but she suffered a serious setback immediately after entering the room. Because Stephen Zhou just glanced at her faintly, not only did she not have any stunning expressions, but even frowned slightly, she could not help but doubt her charm.
　　 "Boring woman." Stephen Zhou secretly said in his heart: "This kind of charm means is not even suitable for succubus to raise shoes."
　　The Stephen family is born with a very high ‘charm resistance’, which was once called ‘stubborn stone head’ by female wizards.
　　 An upgraded version of Elm's head.
　　Many members of the Steven family think that dealing with women is not as interesting as mining.
　　 "What's the matter?" Stephen said blankly.
　　 He has no good feelings for those women who want to charm themselves, and the countess Countess Eliya has now lowered his opinion by several percentage points.
As soon as she saw Stephen Zhou's slightly displeased expression, the clever Countess Elijah realized that her behavior today might be counterproductive. She lifted her dress up without traces to cover the fullness of her chest. Profile, slightly bowed his head and said: "Master Wizard! I want to ask you to help us deal with Earl Keaton. In return, I can transfer the silver mine to your name. No matter what other requirements you have, I still have me. Family will satisfy you as much as possible."
　　 Finally she couldn't help it.
　　 In her first sentence, she mentioned the silver mine that moved Stephen Zhou and expressed her willingness to transfer it to his name.
　　 This is the biggest bargaining chip Countess Eliya can take out at present. If the wizard in front of you really cares so much about the mysterious metal produced by the silver mine, then the other party cannot be indifferent to it. She hopes to recapture everything in the family, Stephen Zhou hopes to obtain the Mithril Mine, and the goals of both parties are the same on this point.
　　 There was silence in the room.
　　Steven Zhou looked at the other side with a somewhat cloudy expression, and it took a long time before he said, "What are your plans?"
obviously.
　　 She was right! Stephen Week really cares very much about those Mithril Mine!
The Countess Elijah couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced, knowing that there are many strange people in the wizard, she immediately said: "Although Count Keton controls the Howling City, but secretly dissatisfied with him There are also many people. More importantly, Earl Keaton was injured on the battlefield in his early years, and no heirs have been born since then. He has only one son so far. This son is his same son The half-brother's sister was born with some dementia and stupidity. If something unexpected happens to Count Keaton, other nobles will gather and attack without us."
　　 "The Earl of Keaton has violated the interests of many nobles these years."
　　Steven Zhou Wenyan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "The Earl of Keaton's family has also been born a wizard?"
　　 Close marriage.
　　 This is a common occurrence in the family with the blood of the warlock. It is a bit similar to gambling. It may be born as a genius, but it is more likely to be a dull offspring. The outside world’s evil senses of warlocks are largely due to this family problem. The more ignorant and civilized the warlock family is, the more likely it is that intermarriage will occur. In the Austrian era, if the top warlocks want their offspring to find the same level of opposite sex, Or extract the essence of one's own blood veins to cultivate offspring by a method similar to artificial insemination. From the point of view of the continuation of future generations, the warlock is far less convenient than the mage. When the Countess Eliya said that Count Keaton married a half-sister, the first thing that Stephen Zhou thought was that the other family had a warlock.
　　 "Ah. Yes." Countess Eliya said slowly: "One or two wizards have been out, but only his aunt has gone to the strait in recent decades."
　　Steven Zhou Wenyan's expression suddenly became solemn.
　　 After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Tell me everything you know. Not only Count Keaton, but also other things."
　　 The conversation continued until late at night.
　　When Countess Eliya left, it was already early in the morning, and Steven Zhou's expression was a little dignified, because he felt that he might have to deal with the wizards of this world.
