In Tang En's hand was a piece of metal that exuded a wonderful color of rainbow light.
Star Flash Gold, a rare metal from the Astral World.
Seeing the Star Flash Gold, Dicarios immediately could not calm down.
"Star Flash Gold — Human, are you sure you want to use the Star Flash Gold as a reward?!"
Even the Fire Elemental Lord was excited when he saw the Star Flash Gold.
Fiona frowned slightly. She had never heard of such a thing, but if even the Fire Elemental Lord was so surprised, it was obviously not something ordinary.
"That's right."
Tang En said with a smile, "In exchange for your loyalty to me, how about it?"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Dicarios said, "One piece of Star Flash Gold, and I'll serve you for at most ten years!"
"Deal!"
Tang En's face showed a bright smile. "But you still have to help us open a garbage incinerator in the Fire Elemental World …"
"… Human, do you know, you're playing with fire!"
Playing with fire … Tang En's embarrassment flared up.
Dicarios bellowed, "If other Fire Elemental Lords, or even the Fire Elemental Monarch, find out, you will be burned to ashes by them!"
"So, I need you to cooperate."
Tang En said, "Without them, the good things I have here will only be obtained by you. If they find out, then in order to appease them, I will have to give them what should be given to you. Naturally, I will give you less."
"… You win! Human! "
Dicarios quickly figured it out. "You are qualified to be my contractor. Tell me your name!"
"Tang En, a small Lord." Tang En gracefully made a mage's salute. "Welcome to Ellington."
For the Fire Elemental Lord, ten years passed in the blink of an eye. But for humans, ten years was enough for a lot of things to happen.
The Star Flashing Gold was just a rare metal in his hands, completely useless. As an extremely rare material that did not exist in Prandal, even if he took it out, no one would be able to recognize it.
Only powerful existences such as Elemental Lords from the Elemental Realm, Dragons who possessed great power, or Legendary Masters who had once walked the Astral Plane would recognize this metal.
Tang En didn't learn any Smithing subclasses. Even if he wanted to use this item to forge equipment for Aiguin, he couldn't do it, so he just put it on display.
Now, in exchange for ten years of service from the Fire Elemental Lord, Tang En would definitely make a profit.
For elemental creatures, especially fire elemental creatures, Starflash Gold was a rare core material. Like humans, elemental creatures also had bodies, but they were made of elements.
The more stable the core of their bodies was, the more powerful they would be. The Star Flashing Gold was a very rare metal from the Astral Plane. It was very beneficial to Dicarios. If he could completely absorb it, his strength would surpass other Fire Elemental Lords.
After dealing with the troublesome Dicarios, the next step was much smoother. The elemental creatures that were summoned were all obedient in front of Dicarios's pressure.
Fiona and Brian, who were not far away, were stunned by the dense elemental army. Although Brian had seen groups of wild elemental creatures before, it was rare for elemental creatures of four types to be crowded in such a small place, and they could all line up obediently.
Compared to hiring human workers, the most convenient thing about hiring elemental creatures was that the class characteristics of elemental creatures could be used to complete mass training very efficiently.
After just one contract with Dicarios, Dicarios easily learned from Tang En what work he wanted the elemental creatures to do. Then he used the power of an Elemental Lord to share information with the elemental creatures. After that, those elemental creatures knew what they should do.
Originally, they had no choice but to obey a high-grade Elemental Lord. In addition, they were summoned by Twain, so they had to obey the summoning contract. Hence, they had no choice but to work. However, after learning that they could receive pure Magic Crystals as payment for working, the elemental creatures became even more enthusiastic.
Beginner-level elemental creatures had very low intelligence, but max-level elemental creatures had high intelligence. If they could obtain pure magic crystals, they could become more powerful than other elemental creatures. They were very clear about such obvious benefits, so they had no complaints about Twain who had summoned them to work. Instead, they liked him even more.
This made Fiona and the others, who were watching the whole process, stunned.
Fiona did not know what to say. "He can make elemental creatures so obedient …"
"No, no, no! You should be surprised that he can summon so many elemental creatures!? "
Bryan shouted, "And that Elemental Lord who came through the Planar Passage was actually persuaded by you, Big Brother! What is the Starflash Gold he mentioned? What good stuff is Big Brother hiding!? "
"Starflash Gold … I seem to have heard of it …"
Nokia frowned. He seemed to have seen this name in an incomplete record.
"I know why!"
The sudden voice attracted the attention of the others.
"Elijah?"
Fiona looked at Elijah in surprise. "What do you know?"
"That's because," Elijah said happily. "Big Brother Lord is the Elemental Lord."
"Elemental Lord? What's that … "
Everyone was stunned.
"Nothing."
The chuckling Twain walked over and poked Illia's forehead. Illia stuck out her tongue and stuck it to him with a grin.
"My Lord, how did you do it?"
Fiona looked at Dicarios who was soaking in the pool of sewage. It was unbelievable. "You can actually convince it to stay — oh God, when I first saw it, I thought Ellington was going to be destroyed!"
"Don't say that, Little Dicarios is very easy-"
"Contractor, stop your rudeness! Please call me Fire Elemental Lord, Lord of Flames, or call me by my real name! "
In the distance, Dicarios restrained his impulse to fly into a rage. "That name is an insult to the great Lord of Flames!"
Anyway, his real name had been bound by Tang En's contract, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
"Well, actually, I'm afraid that if I call you by your real name, people will say that I'm spouting nonsense."
Tang En shrugged.
"Spouting nonsense?"
"Pretend I didn't say anything."
Then Tang En arranged Dicarios' work. Dicarios had to maintain the incinerator every day, which was the portal to his territory in the Fire Elemental Realm. Other than that, he had to bathe in the steelmaking furnace in the steel mill.
There was no easier job than this …
As for the elemental creatures, they were all assigned to positions that were suitable for them to unleash their powers. They replaced many of the heavy labor positions, freeing up a lot of manpower. The freed labor force could then be assigned to positions that required dexterity. With such a rational allocation of labor resources, the efficiency of the entire Ellington obviously increased by a large margin.
"It's so convenient."
Brian poured beer into his mouth and praised the elemental creatures loudly. "Those earth elementals can actually carry such heavy raw materials and steel easily. It saved us a lot of effort. They're indeed the people of the earth."
It seemed that he regarded the earth elementals as the people of the earth.
"Those fire elementals are also very good," Edgar added.
"They just lie in the furnace and do nothing. The furnace's temperature is already very high. If the wind elementals help to blow air, the temperature will be even higher."
"I feel that the water elementals are more useful."
Tang En said with a smile. "In order to make irrigation more convenient, we've designed a waterwheel. However, the efficiency of the waterwheel is limited. If it's too far away, the ground will be dry before we can build a waterwheel. Now that the water elementals are dispersed, the farmland near Ellington will not have to worry about water shortage and drought. We can only think of a solution later on for the farther places."
"This is already very good. The autumn harvest is already over. Now, the farmers have started to use the tillers to plant seeds. With the efficiency of the magic machines now, the total planting area of these farmers can be ten times more than now."
Fiona was very satisfied with the data. Unfortunately, Tang En still felt that it was not enough. The seeds of Prandal had not been bred and optimized, so the yield was very low. If they kept increasing the planting area to achieve the effect of increasing the yield, sooner or later, the vegetation would be reduced and the land would be desertified.
They couldn't keep going like this.
"After the production capacity of the magic machine factory has increased, those orders can be completed on time. The first batch of combined harvesters that Lawrence ordered will be delivered soon. I believe that after knowing that the combined harvesters are powered by Magic Crystals, the price of Magic Crystals will clearly increase."
Frank wasn't a fool. After seeing the facts, he had already been scammed by Tang En, so he definitely wouldn't let go of this final chance. He would definitely hold his stocks while the price of Magic Crystals was still at a low point. At the same time, he would rush to buy them on the market. His actions would definitely attract the attention of other merchants. Once those people received this news, the price of Magic Crystals would immediately skyrocket.
Right now they were competing for time and efficiency in obtaining information.
There was no doubt that Tang En was already standing in front of them all.
"After being busy for a few days, these things are finally taken care of."
Tang En let out a long sigh of relief. Then he looked at Brian with a smile that made Brian's hair stand on end, "Big brother, what are you looking at me for?"
"What's wrong with me looking at you?"
"If you look at me … …" Brian shyly lowered his head, "I'll be embarrassed … …"
The surrounding people all turned around with pale faces and began to vomit.
"Alright, stop messing around." After Tang En finished vomiting, he patted Brian's shoulder, "Do you remember what I promised your son? I'll personally bring you to the elves to apologize! We should have set off after coming back from the dwarf kingdom, but I never thought that after going to Alinx and then the matter with the Cardier Family, it would be delayed until now. "
Tang En gave a sigh as Aiguin's smile appeared in his mind again, causing his eyes to become incomparably gentle.
"I feel that we can prepare to set off soon … …"
Brian who had drunk so much had his red face turn white at a visible speed!
It wasn't that he was afraid of going to the elves.
Rather … …
"Big brother … … Your eyes and your expression ….. It makes me feel very uneasy!"
