Chapter 701: The Centaur Tribe’s Show of Favor

The Life Tree Trunk of the Ancient Verdant Banyan was undoubtedly the most suitable material for Sein’s next magic rod upgrade.

A powerful magic rod required not only a top-quality head but also a body of equal quality.

However, the choice of adhesive connecting the head to the rod, as well as the engravings on various parts of the rod, would depend on Sein’s competence as an alchemist.

The Maya Tribe of Centaurworld understood the value of strategic investments.

Although their tribal heritage did not allow them to directly curry favor with Rank Four mages like Lorianne, getting on the good side of Sein was deemed a worthwhile endeavor.

The demigod-level centaur, Maya, had gained only a few top-quality materials in Verdant Leaf World.

Thus, offering a section of the Life Tree Trunk to Sein was a significant gesture of their tribe’s sincerity.

“Thank you for introducing our tribe to the esteemed Tower Master of Verdant Spring, Master Sein. Thanks to your assistance and the generosity of the tower master, our tribe will be free from hunger for the next twenty to thirty years, heralding a period of prosperity.”

Luna, the Rank Two centaur, clutched her silver scepter and bowed to Sein in gratitude.

She was slightly taller than Sein due to her equine lower body.

Although Sein was not certain if she was considered beautiful among her tribe, by the standards of the Magus World’s humans, she definitely fit the definition of beauty from the waist up.

Considering that her grandmother, Maya, could attract a Rank Four centaur god, Luna, as her descendant, was likely considered a top beauty among the centaur tribe too.

Despite being slightly taller than him, Luna bowed so deeply that Sein could see a “deep valley” before him.

Nevertheless, her gesture had sufficiently conveyed the Maya Tribe and her respect toward Sein and the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.

The backing of a Rank Four centaur god did not significantly elevate the Maya Tribe’s status within Centaurworld.

These gods had their own tribes, and as one of his many lovers, Maya was not necessarily highly cherished by him.

On top of that, the Rank Four centaur god was considered one of the weakest among his peers, hence the support he could provide to the Maya Tribe was limited.

If the Maya Tribe chose not to expand and maintain their current size, the grain harvested from Verdant Leaf World could sustain them for nearly two hundred years.

After receiving ample benefits, the Maya Tribe was eager to continue their alliance with Sein as their representatives were keen on securing even more similar opportunities!

Sein did not mind the ulterior motives behind Luna’s words and accepted the Maya Tribe’s goodwill.

Aware of his mentor’s long-term strategies for the upcoming war, Sein intended to maintain close relations with the centaurs, recognizing the value of allies who could provide substantial canon fodder at low cost within the Magus Alliance.

Given that Lorianne’s next conquest would also be another dendro elemental world, Sein was confident it could provide sufficient food resources for the Centaurworld.

Without disclosing the upcoming conflict, Sein assured Luna, “When the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring wages the next interplanar war, we’ll surely get in touch with the Maya Tribe first!”

Luna’s face lit up with satisfaction and relief at Sein’s words.

Her mission was accomplished after securing this promise for her tribe.

She did not expect a formal contract from Sein or the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, aware of the meticulous and cautious nature with which the Magus World’s spellcasters approached contractual agreements.

Before her departure, Sein offered Luna a brief tour of the divine tower and his laboratory.

During her previous visit to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, Luna had only been able to wander around the exterior as she had yet to earn the privilege to explore the interior of the tower, much less the laboratory of a Rank Two mage.

This visit presented new experiences for Luna, including an unexpected moment when Sein took a sample of her blood with a needle.

Being likely a descendant of a Rank Four creature, Luna’s blood was tinged with a hint of gold amid its bright red, unlike other ordinary centaurs.

Upon obtaining such a valuable blood sample, the smile on Sein’s face grew slightly wider.

Before Luna left, Sein gifted her a piece of magic equipment he had crafted in his spare time—a silver wind chime.

Though more decorative than functional, it was a beautiful parting gift.

Luna accepted it and immediately wore the chime on her silver hair like an accessory.
