Steel Nation, Ossen Castle.
Dorothy wrote down line after line of formulas on the notebook in front of her with a fountain pen. It did not take long for the yellowed notebook to be filled with densely packed numbers.
She was calculating the amount of money that the trading firm had lost since its reputation was damaged, and how long it would take for the trading firm to face bankruptcy if this continued.
Dorothy was very talented in arithmetic. Her teacher had once told Dorothy that she should become an alchemist! And Dorothy had indeed studied hard with this goal in mind.
However, ever since the trading firm's business encountered a 'failure,' Dorothy's father refused to continue paying a high amount of money to let her study in the noble magic academy. Instead, he began to try to get Dorothy married as soon as possible.
Dorothy did not want to accept this fate, so she had been trying to use various methods to restore the reputation of the trading firm and make it profitable again.
Unfortunately, in the Steel Nation, once a trading firm 'lost its reputation,' it meant that everything was over.
"Is this all that's left in the end?"
Dorothy looked at the last line of the account book. The number displayed on it was an amount that ordinary people would not even dare to imagine in their entire lives. However, for this trading firm that was once ranked among the top in Ossen Castle, it was not worth mentioning at all.
What should I do?
Dorothy covered her forehead with her hand in distress. She had already gone to all the trading firms and organizations in Ossen Castle that could help her, but in the end, she was rejected by all of them.
Ossen Castle could no longer find any way to save this trading firm. Dorothy's gaze fell on the wooden box beside her hand.
This wooden box was a lost item of an unknown noble. Even though Dorothy had hung the 'Lost and Found' notice at the entrance of the trading firm for almost half a month, she did not see anyone come to claim it.
Although Dorothy had never opened the wooden box, according to the information gathered on the spellcaster forum, Dorothy was certain that the item sealed in the box was a 'Leaf of the World Tree.'
The reason why Ossen Castle could not use the magic net was because it could not connect to the 'network' of the World Tree in the distant Noland.
However, the Leaf of the World Tree could help the user of the magic net break through this boundary!
"If I can buy a leaf from the World Tree in Noland."
This was the most direct method Dorothy could think of. She wanted to prove to the customers who had bought the raw crystals that the Magic Net was not a trick, but a great magic that could create a virtual world!
However, this proof required leaves from the World Tree, and a large number of leaves at that.
But what made Dorothy depressed was that according to the information gathered on the spellcaster forum, the leaves of the World Tree were not a shop with a marked price.
Instead, it was an extremely rare and limited product that ordinary merchants would never be able to purchase.
Currently, Dorothy could not even find any information on the spellcaster forum.
Dorothy opened her magic net and prepared to continue searching for information related to the World Tree's leaf on the spellcaster forum. However, she had only been browsing the forum for less than two minutes.
A new message popped up at the bottom of the Spell Caster forum.
'Congratulations on getting a gift. '
Gift?
Dorothy subconsciously reached out her hand and clicked the 'accept' button at the bottom of the message. Soon, a progress bar appeared on her magic net.
Hearthstone: Shadow of Naxxramas.
The title was written at the top of the progress bar.
Dorothy remembered this game called Hearthstone. When she was playing Minecraft yesterday, two of her friends in the game mentioned this game.
There were also many posts related to this game on the spellcaster forum.
The post that left the deepest impression on Dorothy was' I got a Golden Mana Storm today, want to buy it! ' The replies below the post were 'I'll buy it for two hundred gold coins.' 'I'll buy it for a cheaper price. I'll buy it for two hundred and seventy-two gold coins.'
This post made Dorothy feel that "Hearthstone" was not a traditional game like "Super Mario" or "The Yeti Brothers."
Because of this, Duo Luxi had specially searched the game area once, but the answer he got in the end was zero.
Although Dorothy did not know where the gift came from, she was happy to try out a new game.
The download speed of Hearthstone was much slower than the other games in the game section. Dorothy continued to browse the spellcaster forum while she waited.
'The mana in Noland's portal will be overflowing on the first day of the next month.' Poster: Ashen Nightingale.
The portal in Noland was connected to every major city in the world, and it would open every three to five months.
Dorothy's father used the portal to travel to Noland half a year ago, and brought the raw crystals back to Ossen Castle.
That trip to Noland had completely destroyed the trading company, but Dorothy hoped to find a way to save the trading company from Noland this time.
The only way was to find a way to buy the leaves of the World Tree.
The leaves of the World Tree must be the most luxurious of luxuries. In Dorothy's opinion, the ability of the leaves to connect to the Weave around the world was far more precious to any Weave user than the 'Flawless Ruby Orb'.
"Can I really find a way to buy the leaves of the World Tree? No … I must find it. "
While Dorothy was cheering herself on, the door of the study room was pushed open again.
It was Dorothy's father.
"Dorothy! Hurry up and dress yourself up! You'll never know who's looking for you. "
This time, Dorothy's father had an excited smile on his face, as if the grievances he had endured for the past six months had been swept away.
"The eldest son of the Count?" Dorothy had already guessed who it was when she saw her father's excited expression.
"That's right! Count Kirrlutz's eldest son, Lord Eitek, he even brought a bouquet of flowers here! Quick, Dorothy, wash your face and put on some makeup! You look like an owl that hasn't slept for three days, I can see the dark circles around your eyes! "
Dorothy was speechless when she heard her father's criticism. It was true that she hadn't slept well for the past three days, and she didn't even take care of her appearance.
She spent most of her time playing Minecraft. What Dorothy couldn't believe was that the other two companions in Minecraft, the Flower of Falosi and Fuya, were like the legendary Sleepless.
No matter when Dorothy went online, she could see them, which made Dorothy wonder if they were humans.
