"Thank you very much for saving my daughter, Mr. Brando."
When he arrived in front of the Elven Queen of Eleranta, Brando's eyes lit up as he thought to himself, "What a great beauty." The Elven Queen wore a silver laurel crown on her head. Her slightly curly blonde hair draped over her shoulders, and her light green eyes were as vast as the sea of stars, shining with the light of wisdom. A snow-white robe tightly wrapped around her slender body, and the opening in front of her chest would dazzle mortals. It seemed a little too revealing, but it made her look outstanding. A silver belt closed the deep opening, and when one looked up, one could almost see the flat upper half of her lower abdomen and faintly discernible cleavage.
In his previous life, Brando had long heard of the Elven Queen's beauty, but he had never had the chance to see her. Ten years later, she went into seclusion, and after that, Princess White took over the fate of the Wild Elves from her hands, and the wisest princess in history was born. He couldn't help but look at the little elf with tears and snot running down her face, but at least until now, she was just a naughty child no matter how he looked at her.
The Elven Queen gracefully bowed slightly, thanking Brando. Her appearance was somewhat similar to the little elf, but she looked much more mature, showing a classic classic beauty.
Brando was a little surprised that the Elven Queen knew his name, but he thought that it must have been the dragons who told her.
"Your Majesty —" He was about to speak.
The Elven Queen smiled and interrupted him, "The Great Sage has mentioned your name to me."
Obviously, there was only one Great Sage, and that was Eleranta, "The Great Sage actually knows my name?" Brando didn't expect that he would be able to attract the attention of the world's top figure, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for being in history and changing history. He recalled the night when he had just crossed over to Bucce, facing the invasion of the Roman Black Rose. At that time, he was so insignificant that he couldn't even be considered a chess piece on the battlefield. But who would have thought that in the most inconspicuous corner of the world, an unknown young man would change everything?
The Elven Queen saw the look on Brando's face and understood his thoughts. She couldn't help but smile, but she was gentle and didn't directly expose this beautiful misunderstanding. She only replied tactfully, "I knew you when you were very young."
Brando's face suddenly turned from red to white, then from white to black.
He coughed, felt his cheeks burning, and said with an unnatural expression, "Your Majesty knows my grandfather?"
The Elven Queen gently shook her head, "Your grandfather is a hero, but I don't know him.
"Then you are …?"
"Mr. Brando, there must be something important for you to come looking for me, right?"
Brando looked at the Elven Queen suspiciously, not understanding why she wanted to change the topic, but this was indeed the question he was most concerned about. He nodded honestly and said, "It's not an important matter, but I heard that Your Majesty has a Dragon Avoidance Orb, recently I …"
"You want the Wizard of Oz?"
"Yes."
"There are some problems." The Elven Queen replied with a smile.
Brando's heart thumped. Although he had expected that it wouldn't be that easy to lend the Dragon Avoidance Orb, he didn't expect the Elven Queen to reject him so directly. But after thinking about it, it was understandable. After all, this treasure had been passed down in Eleranta for thousands of years. As an heirloom of the royal family, how could it be lent just like that?
But the Elven Queen's next explanation immediately made Brando understand the problem of his request, "Mr. Brando, don't you know that the Dragon Avoidance Orb needs to be confirmed before it can be used? So if we give it to you, I'm afraid we won't be able to take back this treasure."
Hearing this explanation, Brando's heart sank. He finally understood what the other party was talking about: The Wizard of Oz was a sacred item that needed to be recognized before it could be used. If the Wild Elves gave this treasure to him, it wouldn't be a loan, but a gift. At least before he died of old age or died an unnatural death, the Wild Elves wouldn't be able to take back this treasure. And the lifespan of a human with a certain level of strength was generally around 150 to 200 years. For someone like him who had activated his Elemental Activation, it wouldn't be strange for him to live for four or five centuries. At that time, it would be hard to say if he could still avoid the Dragon Avoidance Orb.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was rude." After understanding that his request was too outrageous, Brando didn't insist. He just replied with some pity. At the same time, he was already thinking about how to guard against the ticking time bomb that could appear at any time.
However, it was at this time that the Elven Queen smiled and shook her head at him, "Mr. Brando, I didn't say that I wouldn't give this treasure to you."
Brando was stunned for a moment and looked up at the other party in surprise.
The Elven Queen smiled and said, "You saved my daughter's life and our race is indebted to you. And although the Dragon Avoidance Orb is indeed a priceless treasure, it actually doesn't have much value to our race. The reason why we have kept it in Eleranta is because of the dragons. The dragons don't want it to fall into the hands of those who have bad intentions. "
"But Mr. Brando is also a benefactor of the dragons. I don't think they will make things difficult for you. As long as Mr. Brando can get the consent of the dragons, this orb is for you to use."
It turned out that the root of the problem was still the giant dragons. Come to think of it, the use of this orb was too much against the dragon race. If someone who was plotting against the dragon race got their hands on it, these giant dragons would inevitably have to live in a state of constant vigilance. This was undoubtedly unacceptable for such a proud species.
Brando thought this through and quickly bowed to the Elven Queen to express his gratitude. In any case, the other party could have used this excuse to brush him off, but she wholeheartedly pointed out the right path for him. He couldn't help but be touched by her sincerity.
But just as he was about to go and bargain with the big lizards who were famous for being stingy, the Elven Queen stopped him again.
"Mr. Brando, please wait."
Brando turned his head with some doubts and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
"Mr. Brando, the value of this orb is too low for you. If we only give it to you, outsiders will say that the wild elves of Eleranta are ungrateful. So whether the dragons finally agree to let you take the Dragon Avoidance Orb or not, we still intend to give you another gift."
"This …" Even with the mentality of a player who pursued maximum benefits, Brando couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, this treasure is already very significant to me."
He didn't lie about this. It was indeed very significant. If he didn't have this treasure, he might have died without a corpse because of his relationship with the little female dragon. So in a sense, the Elven Queen agreeing to give him the Dragon Avoidance Orb was equivalent to saving his life.
The Elven Queen smiled and interrupted him, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. This gift is not unrelated to Mr. Brando. It was left in Eleranta by someone related to you. That person wanted to return a favor to us. Today, we're returning it to you. It's just right to return it to its rightful owner. "
Brando was slightly startled. He thought that the only person who had something to do with him and was so resourceful was probably his grandfather. But considering that the other party didn't know his grandfather, he couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the person mentioned by the Elven Queen.
"Wait," he asked, "Your Majesty, is the person you're talking about related to my grandfather?"
The Elven Queen nodded without hesitation.
"Then what is his identity? Is he my grandfather's subordinate? "
To this question, the Elven Queen only smiled and said, "I'm not too sure about this, but that thing has been left in Eleranta for many years. It has helped us a lot. I think you must have a use for it."
As she said this, the Elven Queen's gaze extended behind Brando. Brando was too embarrassed to look back, but he could guess that it was probably the place where Princess Magadal, Eugenie and the rest were. He was a little confused about the meaning behind the Elven Queen's glance, but he didn't directly ask, "What is that, Your Majesty?"
"The Fountain of Singing. Have you heard of it, Mr. Brando?"
The Fountain of Singing. Brando couldn't help but gasp when he heard the name.
How could he not have heard of the name of this thing? In fact, this thing had an even more famous name in Wohnde, and that was the Fountain of Youth. It was said that those who drank its water would be able to retain their youth forever and live forever.
Of course, this was an exaggeration. There was no such thing as eternity in this world. Even the undead of Madara would eventually walk towards destruction. But those who drank from the Fountain of Youth would be able to retain their youth forever without a doubt. Anyone who drank the water of the Fountain of Youth would have their appearance fixed at the moment they drank the water. If it was a child, their appearance would be fixed at the age of 15 or 16.
Because of this effect, the water of the Fountain of Youth in Wohnde was a rare treasure that everyone, especially the noble ladies, would go crazy for. In addition to this effect, the Fountain of Youth could also heal pain. Its effect might not be better than that of high-grade holy water, but it could restore limbs and injuries. Just from this point alone, people would be willing to pay any price to get it.
But because the Fountain of Youth only appeared in the Black Forest, and its capacity was often extremely limited, most of the Fountain of Youth would only be able to fill a few cups of water before drying up and disappearing. Therefore, the water of the Fountain of Youth was extremely rare on the continent, only appearing twice in the Year of the Gathering Stars and the Year of the Waning Moon.
Now, the Elven Queen was telling him that there was a Fountain of Youth in Eleranta that had been used for nearly half a century and still hadn't dried up. What kind of concept was this?
What shocked him even more was that this thing was given to the Wild Elves by someone who was related to him. How big of a deal was this?
No wonder the Wild Elves didn't hesitate to give him the Dragon Avoidance Orb. After receiving such a great favor, the Dragon Avoidance Orb was really nothing compared to it.
As soon as Brando heard the words' Fountain of Singing ', he was immediately tempted. He couldn't help but be tempted. Not to mention that he had already promised to use the Fountain of Youth to restore Dilferi to her original state to make up for her sacrifice in the battle of Ampere Seale, and this thing might also be useful for the Deer Banshee's crystallization disease.
But these were not the key. The key was that most of the Fountain of Youth was associated with another thing.
That was the Singing Silver.
And only half of the Fountain of Youth with the Singing Silver was qualified to be called the Fountain of Singing. This thing was much rarer than the Fountain of Youth. Even in the depths of the Black Forest, legends about it only existed in legends.
And to Brando, the Singing Silver was associated with another thing. This was a secret that only a few people in Valhalla knew. Once he had an endless supply of the Singing Silver, Babuu and his divine craftsmen could continuously repair the Valkyrie's armor. Valhalla would also have a true tier-8 army — Brunhilda and her Valkyrie servants.
Although reviving the Valkyrie's Valkyrie required the Gold of the River, cutting off future fangs and Windrider Foals, the Gold of the River was far less precious than the Singing Silver. Not to mention other things, the dragons would definitely have it. As for cutting off future fangs, Brando had already planned to ask the Ko Hua sisters for some of their fangs that had been broken in the past. It shouldn't be a problem.
In this way, other than the Windrider Foals, the other problems would be easily solved. As for the Valkyrie's mounts, Brando could also buy them from the Wind Elves. Although the price was a little ridiculous, just a Windrider Foal could be exchanged for a tier-8 creature with outstanding combat strength. This was a good deal, and Brando had to do it no matter what.
He couldn't help but be immersed in his beautiful fantasy. The Elven Queen seemed to have seen through his thoughts and had to remind him tactfully, "Mr. Brando, before returning the item to its rightful owner, I have to remind you about the problem with the Fountain of Singing."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Brando recovered from his fantasy and asked after a slight pause. He had never heard of any side effects of the Fountain of Youth. Because of this, people thought that it was a gift from Martha.
"The Fountain of Singing was actually discovered in the Arjean region. It is a rare living spring, so it can produce spring water continuously. But because of some previous problems, the spring water has been contaminated, so there may be some side effects." The Elven Queen explained, "It is said that the Dragon Clan had used a special method to extract the power of the spring water. As a result, it was contaminated by dark magic. Although its spring water still has the effect of the Spring of Youth, the body of the person who drank it might have some changes."
"Forgive me, but I don't quite understand …"
"In short, people who drink it will immediately stop aging and maintain a certain stage. At the same time, they will lose all power, including natural and supernatural powers, and …"
"And?" Brando frowned. The side effects of this thing were a little too shocking. If the Elven Queen didn't lie to him, then people who drank it would become a useless person, at least according to the standards of this world.
"And … they will lose the ability to reproduce."
