Remides was the one who proposed sending Rangers out of Ava State. Although this resolution was unanimously opposed by the Mooncycle Council in the beginning, Remides ultimately convinced everyone to pass the proposal as the greatest Ranger Hero in Ava State history.
It was also because of this that many elves went out to adventure as Rangers in the past 800 years. They returned before their blessings weakened and became a part of Ava Stateâs system again.
âWe met in Ravenwood years ago and adventured together for many years. Later on, we bade farewell because of something and didnât see each other for many years⌠I only found out some time ago that she had returned to her hometown,â William said sincerely.
The High Elf officer could tell from his tone that the other party wasnât lying, but he continued, âBut even a Ranger canât violate the rules set by the governor back then. Moonlaw City will never allow anyone from the empire to step footâŚâ
William interrupted the other party and said, âTherefore, this is another key problem⌠Iâm not from the empire.â
The elven officer immediately retorted, âBut Hobbes Blackwhale said that youâre an Elementium Silver vendor from Blackwater Province.â
âDonât you know that the Blackwater Province has already become independent?â
âIndependent?â
The other party immediately frowned when he heard this word.
âWhen?â
âItâs been a few months⌠Even Ava State shouldnât be so out of touch, right? Or is Whalebone the first ship to cross the Shattered Sea to do business after the storm ended?â William commented casually.
The other party extended three fingers and said, âThe third; the first two ships had spies sent by the empire.â
âThis is why you insisted on searching every ship in transit? But how are you going to tell if anyone is an empire spy? I mean, they will disguise themselves. They wonât write the word âspyâ on their foreheads, right?â William asked immediately.
The other party stared into Williamâs soul. Perhaps it was because William mentioned that he had a Ranger friend, but his attitude towards William didnât seem to be as arrogant as before.
He turned around and continued walking. As he walked, he said, âWe have our ways of telling.â
A trade secretâone thatâs prohibited from being leaked, rightâŚ?
William muttered to himself. Then, he looked at the door that they almost walked past and hurriedly said, âHey, hey, hey. Itâs here, the cargo hold.â
With that said, he took out a key and walked over to open the door. Then, he pointed at the crudely refined ores sealed in wooden crates and said, âThatâs all. Feel free to check.â
The other party didnât say a word and walked in.
He took out a fist-sized ball from his waist. It was unknown what he had done, but bright orange-red light overflowed before filling the entire room.
The Elementium Silver rough-refined ores shone under the light.
After a cursory inspection, he walked to the safe in the middle of the warehouse.
âWhatâs in here?â he patted the safe and asked.
âRefined Elementium Silver,â William replied.
âIs it convenient to open it for an inspection?â
the other party looked at William and asked.
âItâs all refined Elementium Silver ingots. Itâs about dozens of kilograms. Itâs enough to buy the ships blocking our way outside,â William said.
âWhat do you mean?â the person asked with a frown.
âIt means that I donât trust you, so I wonât open the safe.â
The elven officer looked at the safe and turned to look at William. Before he could speak, the other party said, âThe safe is installed with a self-destruct spell that will teleport the things inside directly into a Teleportation spatial rift if thereâs any forced entry. Of course, I know youâll be worried about whatâs inside, soâŚâ
William walked over and pressed down on the safe. A blue light flashed in his hand as he released Identification.
A message instantly appeared in the elven officerâs mind, confirming that the cabinet contained almost pure Elementium Silver.
Even with his firm mind, he felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer after sensing this message.
Thatâs dozens of kilograms of refined Elementium SilverâŚ
Ava State didnât have an Elementium Silver mine. Some scholars even believed that this was an important reason why magic research started before humans and their talent far exceeded humans. However, humans had once overtaken them in the application of magic.
They only barely caught up when the Riel Empire was established and humans reversed history under the Astral Laws.
âAre we good?â
William asked the elven officer who was breathing heavily.
His breathing was also slightly heavy. It wasnât for any other reason other than him not relying on Liz to establish a magical conduit for Identification. Instead, his main body had cast it from the holy emblem from more than 10,000 kilometers away.
The mana consumed by an ordinary Apprentice spell was more than some peak spells.
