This is a very simple hut.
From a closer look, you can see that unlike the wooden plank structure of a normal cabin, the walls are actually made of dense branches, which are built on the open space like building blocks and assembled together.
All structures are just made of branches, like a bird's nest with a dense structure and regular shape. The most important parts are also left empty. They are just skeletons and cannot provide shelter from wind and rain at all.
Before he reached the empty door, Mogan discovered that the emerald green ball showed its true appearance at the simple window.
The little Dorando cowered and hid close to the edge of the thick window frame that contained no contents. It is still moving outward slightly, as if it is tinkering with something.
Mogan immediately thought that it was looking at the sky melancholy from a human perspective, but then he remembered that Dolando's observation did not actually rely on vision, which should not be in line with the common sense of the human race, and suddenly felt even more strange.
But soon, the elf's personal project came into view, and he immediately understood the reason.
"I thought of it, I can exchange this for money!"
Feeling Mo Gan approaching, the elf was extremely happy and just in time to show him his fresh work, he quickly moved out from behind the window frame.
Mogan took a curious look and found that Dolando had carved a miniature tree out of wood. It was an ordinary small handicraft in front of him.
"It's just too boring..." Dorando said, "But I can hold on! Mr. Grande, is it enough to make ten of these things?"
Dorlando's estimate is quite conservative.
There was a small knife stuck on the edge of the window frame. The handle of the knife was submerged in the branches, leaving only the sharp corner exposed.
Apparently the secret to elf carving is to hold the sharp tool in place while moving the object being carved.
It's just that this finished product... is exquisite, and the selection of materials is truly unique.
After all, it doesn't need to touch wooden objects in the first place. It can directly make them float and move like itself, unlike other things that require its "energy".
But Dorando was very satisfied, "Mr. Grande! How much can you exchange for each of these? If you want to raise enough money to travel to the Arcane Forest and hire a guide who knows the way, how many will it take?"
Morgan was speechless, but in order not to spoil the child's interest, he briefly thought about it and thought it would be better not to say anything.
This little green guy really has no idea about money.
As part of his intention, Mogan took out a piece of vine that he bought at a discount from his arms and handed it to the side of the ball.
"The matter of making money to find the Arcane Forest can actually be discussed separately. Dorando, you eat first... I came to you with a proposal."
Elves usually live on the branches and leaves of the ancient elf tree. Now that the ancient elf tree has passed away, after asking, Mo Gan learned that elves like him who are separated from the ancient tree can also feed on magical plants.
"Thank you, Mr. Grand! When I have done enough work, I will definitely give you money!"
Watching the green ball continuously devouring the branches and absorbing the abundant energy, Mogan smacked his lips and reflected on it.
Did he mention too many money-related topics, which made Dolando, who was relatively simple before, become a little tacky.
But this little thing really exceeded his expectations. It not only passively read minds after getting close to it, but also had special abilities.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Dolando, who was so helpless, could build such a small wooden house by himself.
The sight of a man-made building rising from the ground in one of its secret bases is extraordinary.
Anyway, Mo Gan was quite surprised.
That was a day ago.
After releasing the elf from the study and letting it sit quietly outside, Mogan didn't care about it anymore. He just told Dolando some common sense of human society and the fact that it was inconvenient for outsiders to discover it.
Later, Mogan wanted to know what the elf who had escaped from depression was doing, and learned that it wanted to check the place where he appeared, so he came to take a look.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
At that time, the wooden house was only in prototype.
"It's very simple. Every elf is born with his own talent. We all have our own power, that's what the Mother Tree said!"
But Dolando was working, happily floating towards the forest, and was able to explain to his "savior" while moving.
"Most elves know light magic, but we each have our own tasks, which are assigned by Master Mother Tree. Master Mother Tree said that I can communicate with all things and become an elf scholar who travels all over the world in the future!"
Compared with the records in the books, when referring to the ancient elven tree, Dolando's term has always been "Master Mother Tree" instead of the ancient elven tree. However, it is understandable that it may be a name within the group.
Speaking of its own future, Dolando's green body seemed to be flashing, as if filled with a strange pride - even if this ability would bring it the trouble of being ostracized.
Mogan pointed at the branches and leaves that inexplicably fell from the branches and gathered in the air following Dolando's call, "Then how are you going to move these? Your magic power seems to be very strong?"
It can know the existence of all plants and trees without even chanting a spell, and can even "cooperate" with them within a certain range.
Dolando only took it for granted, "All elves can do this when they are young. This is what Master Mother Tree said. It seems to be because... I don't know, it's just like that."
It is wood magic that can resonate with natural creations. It makes sense that it can be contacted by elves, creatures that are inseparable from nature.
A power that can only be harnessed in infancy.
With the association, Morgan suddenly thought of Everest, who was constantly looking for cubs, and once again felt that his purpose might not be that simple. But there is no need to ask directly about this matter.
After all, there was no trace of him again.
There is no fixed target like Angela, and there is no King in Mogan who can kindly help.
Mo Gan actually felt a little guilty at first for hiding Dorando's existence.
Wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to not tell Everest this type of elf news? It would be a bit disrespectful to the hard-working great magician of his country.
But since someone himself has disappeared, his psychological burden has naturally disappeared.
Back to the present.
Mogan completed the preliminary dialogue with the Duke and came to the land where he would soon bear the great responsibility.
In addition to using this position to simply clear the field, he also really had something to do with Dorando.
For example, first give Duke Albert a little elf shock.
"So, is there any other way for me to make money quickly?" Dolando's appearance kept flashing, "I'm very powerful!"
Mogan gave it a definite answer, "You are indeed a powerful elf. What I mean is, Dorando, I need an apprentice."
In fact, Mogan doesn't have much confidence in his magic skills.
In any case, he is not a great mage. Many magics require chanting, especially magic that does not belong to his own department.
——Morgan has a clear mission for his current abilities, and he is not an otherworldly magical genius like Lucifer.
I just have some talent, but I can only rely on improvising to practice.
Just like the first time at Pandora Market, if the situation allowed, casting spells directly and silently could eliminate almost all possibilities of being discovered, but he was unable to do so.
As for being able to use magic, Dorando is a very hidden and easy-to-use alternative.
What's more, it also has a unique ability to read minds, as well as a trait newly discovered by Mogan, which is what it calls "communication with all things."
In this era, no one among ordinary people has seen the existence of elves with their own eyes, and the gradual development of young elves is even more unheard of.
——Originally, they grow under the protection of ancient trees. If you want to see them, you need to go through many forests. It is impossible for foreigners to easily detect their true appearance.
Even Mogan is the same.
If he hadn't read the details in the book, listened to the elf singing before, and already had a guess as a foreshadowing, and Dolando's generous self-testimony later, he would not have been able to gradually confirm the fact that a talking ball was actually an elf. .
Because of this, even if he saw it with his own eyes, it was impossible for Albert to know that there was another such existence, which turned out to be an infant elf.
Flexible in movement, small in size, easy to guess and easy to control, Dolando can indeed be a helper.
This is the conclusion Mogan reached from the perspective of interests. The price for him is very simple, it is to accomplish what Dorando wants to accomplish.
Plus, it’s not just about taking advantage.
With Dorando as a simple ball, it is naturally impossible to trade with humans on his own. It would be good if he is not plotted - unless he finds Everest, who is full of elves and talks about light magic.
He may be more selfless in thinking about his old relationship.
But Mogan considers himself a high-quality collaborator who can help this little elf to the greatest extent and at the same time give himself more opportunities.
The power of knowledge is not ordinary even in this world.
As powerful as Lucifer, they all turned to Mogan for help because they could not obtain the history of their country.
In the meantime, Dorlando may be able to serve as a bridge to this mission.
If he wasn't lying, it was a creature from before the founding of the Kingdom of Lestus after all.
Mogan's calculation was loud and clear, and this was indeed the choice to kill two birds with one stone.
Dorlando seemed to know what apprentice meant, but he was a little hesitant and confused.
"Mr. Grande, you and others rescued me and provided me with energy-replenishing materials. Of course I am willing to help! But you seem to have everything, so why do you need my help?"
In its impression, although its abilities are extraordinary, they are only superficial skills after all, not as beautiful as a simple statue.
Bartering is the simple rule of the elven world, and it is good to understand the concept of money as an exchange of equal value.
At this moment, explaining to Dolando in detail how he needs its help is obviously more complicated and not that simple.
Mo Gan chose direct inducement.
He handed Dolando a copy of the contract he had drawn up earlier. Dolando can read paper made of wood products, so he naturally learns the details quickly.
Dorlando was shocked - its color suddenly became lighter and its size also expanded a lot.
"Mr. Grande, you mean that not only can you take me to the Arcane Forest in the future, but you can also give me extra money as a reward for my work...for my own use, is that what you mean?"
Morgan nodded.
As the first contract he drew up for his apprentice, there were a lot of bonus clauses on this piece of paper - dealing with perhaps the only remaining elf in the world, and with a background like Everest, Morgan certainly wouldn't Withhold.
He even specifically marked how much money could buy how many magic materials like vines, and also stated in the contract that after reaching a cooperation, he could also help confirm which magic materials were more cost-effective and in line with Dorlando's appetite.
However, Dolando knew that he had to be rich.
There is no need to lock yourself in a small house, "sketch" against the big trees and the sky and create many sculptures, doing repetitive work that is full of artistic flavor but extremely boring.
Naturally very happy.
"I want to buy a lot of energy materials!" Dolando Egg said excitedly, "When I passed by, I looked at the good stuff in the store!"
If conditions permit, such a brightly colored ball has the potential to be a foodie who pursues variety.
Even though it originally relied on the nutrients continuously delivered by the ancient elven trees.
With money comes desire.
Once again, Mogan felt dumbfounded that he had taught the inexperienced Dolando to use money to measure problems. But just for a moment.
