This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 97: Chapter 93 If You Don’t Drink, Things Don’t Get Done_2

But now, the Elf Clan is utterly incapable of maintaining a complete societal structure.

If they lose the Magic Potion business, it won’t be long before the Elf Clan regresses to a primitive state.

Miss Sofia swallowed and tentatively asked, "Your Highness, is there no room for negotiation?"

Wright looked up at her and suddenly laughed.

"Why are you so nervous? I merely mentioned regulation, not a prohibition on sales.

Not only will we not prohibit sales, but we’ll also partner with you officially in the business."

Such a 180-degree turn left Sofia somewhat caught off guard.

"Really, really?"

Wright got up and poured Sofia a full glass of milk.

"In my hometown, there’s an old saying that it’s better to regulate than to block. Magic Potions are daily necessities, and outright prohibition is certainly wrong.

Our intention is to ensure that Magic Potions don’t fall into unauthorized hands.

Currently, in the Human World, many morally upright and law-abiding Mages have no choice but to go to the black market to vie with those evil Wizards for the right to purchase Magic Potions.

Over time, it’s easy for them to stray down the wrong path.

In the future, the Elf Clan’s Magic Potions will be sold by the Church Court. Any registered Mage with a clean record can purchase these affordable Magic Potions.

And throughout the process, any profits made will be entirely returned to your Elf Clan.

Moreover, we are more than willing to help you use this money to buy anything the Elf Clan needs.

I believe with our Church Court mediating, the Elf Clan will no longer fear being extorted by unscrupulous merchants.

Right?"

Sofia listened to Wright’s vision for the future and visibly grew excited.

It must be said, all his proposals precisely targeted the pain points of the Elves.

Although she was quite displeased with his overbearing attitude, Sofia felt no courage to resist at that moment.

After all, such a good offer was too tempting to even consider resisting.

"This... this is a significant matter, I must report to our Empress. But the sincerity of the Church Court has been felt! I believe that Your Highness’s proposal will certainly promote further development in our mutual relations!"

"So, you’re agreeing?"

Wright asked while gesturing towards the full glass of milk in front of Sofia.

Sofia looked at the tall glass with difficulty. The Elves’ diet is light, and milk, which has a somewhat fishy taste for humans, is even more unpalatable for Elves.

Sofia tucked her hair behind her ear and spoke with some difficulty.

"Mr. Wright, I... this cup..."

"Miss Sofia, our cooperation is more about the attitude. You need to understand that this business can be done with you or just as easily with another Elf.

Concerning the Elf Clan, I’ve never worried about whether they will cooperate with me or not.

But Miss Sofia’s sincerity, I still want to see it."

Upon hearing this, Sofia panicked and quickly picked up the milk, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and gulped it down.

What she would usually frown at by just smelling, she drank down in one go.

Sofia put the empty glass on the table, gasping as she looked at Wright.

"Your Highness, does this show enough sincerity?"

Saying this, she covered her mouth, trying hard not to vomit.

Wright got up and came to her side, placing his hand on her back. As Holy light infused into her, Sofia’s complexion gradually calmed down.

"Remember this feeling today, it earned you another great business."

Upon hearing this, Sofia straightened up and stared intently at Wright.

"Business, a bigger business than this?"

Wright laughed heartily at her words.

"The Magic Potion business, significant?

In the entire Human World, how many Mages are there, and how many Magic Potions can they consume yearly?

Even if the Magic Potion business is laid out openly, allowing legitimate buying and selling, which would increase consumption.

But, when calculated, it amounts to just that.

The matter I discuss with you concerns all of humanity, even all living beings."

Wright continued speaking while returning to his seat, cutting bread by himself.

"The Church Court plans to carve out a large piece of land in the southeastern frontier of the Human world, to establish a new United Federation.

We plan to transform that area into a grain production base that can support all humans.

The Church Court, employing your Elves for management and production.

I know that the Elves each have a high magic talent.

But that doesn’t mean everyone has the talent for creating Magic Potions or Magic Creations.

However, if it comes to cultivating plants and promoting production! I think in the whole world, there is no one more suitable than your Elf Clan.

Such good talent, why waste it?

Should you manage that United Federation land well.

The income could be several times, dozens, even hundreds of times greater than your Magic Potion business!

After all, every person must eat."

Hearing about this granary project, Elf Sofia trembled with excitement.

If this succeeds, the Elves’ status will undergo earth-shattering changes.

"Your Highness! Lord Wright! Are you saying this is true, really true?"

"Of course, but the Elf Clan must cooperate..."

"Cooperate! The Elf Clan will absolutely follow Your Highness’s plan! You just go ahead with your plan, and any obstacles on the Elf Clan’s side will be handled by me!"

The more Sofia thought about it, the more excited she became, suddenly standing up from her seat.

"To show my sincerity, I... I’ll drink another cup of milk! No, I’ll drink a whole barrel!"

"Uh... that’s not necessary."

"Lord Wright! Please, another glass!"

"There isn’t that much milk."

"You... think of something!"

"How on earth am I supposed to do that, I’m not a cow!"

After much effort, Wright managed to usher out the Elf who had become crazily overexcited.

When he returned to the dining room, the three little ones at home had already come in for breakfast.

Lilith swayed the milk barrel: "Oh~ there’s still plenty of milk left, why not give her some?"

"In our hometown, they say you are what you eat, I thought it might be best if you drink more."

"Humph! Are you... serious?"

"I say, as a Demon, don’t be so superstitious, alright?"

Wright sat back in his seat, and Flander immediately spoke: "Master indeed, handing over the human world’s granary to the Elves, isn’t that bad?"

"You have great foresight, but this is precisely why the Church’s overall control is necessary."

Wright placed bread on two plates: "I lied to her saying it’s a granary, but that place is more of a reservoir.

If there’s a food shortage this year, we’ll use the grain here for relief, stabilizing the grain prices.

If the grain harvests are prosperous everywhere, the grain here can be used for brewing, sold, or stored.

Its primary role is as a safeguard.

However, regulation is essential.

Otherwise, within a few years, the Elves’ low-cost grain could flood the human market, countries would abandon self-reliant farmers.

Then, the Elf Clan would truly control humanity’s lifeline."

Emily shivered at this: "Fortunately, the Elves didn’t think of this back then, otherwise..."

"Ha-ha, the wheel of history moves forward, one or two events can’t change the inevitable direction."

Lilith drank the milk with a glug, finally wiping her mouth: "Let me guess, you actually want the New Church to handle this business, right?"

"You guessed half correctly. Of course, business should be done by the merchant guilds on Commerce Street."

"You make it sound so nice, new business creates new jobs. But in the end, isn’t it just people from Holy Work Town filling them?

When the time comes, Holy Work Town, the New Church, and the Merchant Guilds will become increasingly linked together.

Oh, and there’s the empty shell of the Holy Temple too.

I knew it, you had a plan when you had the Holy Temple spearhead the establishment of the White Mage Foundation, it’s not that simple.

With these three supporting legs, you can reinvent the Holy Temple from an ornament into a real power-wielding monster!"

Lilith set the milk barrel down in surprise: "You’re creating another voice of authority! Are you really intending to replace Afra?"

Wright smiled mysteriously: "In due time, you all will know. Now hurry up and eat, today we are paving the road!

There’s a great show waiting for everyone tonight as well."
