Chapter212

A few months ago, Manager Yang from Plumera's capital had reported many strange events happening recently in the country. He even suspected that the long princess of Plumera, who was known for her love of men and cruel punishments, had received the blessing of the divine bloodline.

Otherwise, how could she have eliminated people like Lord Gregory so quickly and even successfully ascended the throne in such a short time?

How could she have come up with so many brilliant and surprising ideas that completely transformed Plumera within just a few months?

Manager Yang believed that Plumera, once abandoned by the gods, now seemed to be favored by them again.

He suspected that the sudden rise in strength and power of the Empress of Plumera was due to receiving the divine bloodline's blessing.

After reading Manager Yang's report, Sylvan also found the explanation somewhat convincing.

This world never lacked brilliant and talented people.

But for someone known for their cruelty and obsession with men to change so drastically, Sylvan himself found it impossible unless there was help from the divine bloodline.

If Plumera truly awakened a divine bloodline that hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, then its value could no longer be measured as that of a minor third-tier nation.

Especially because it was located in the southwest corner of the continent, a region that had been suppressed for centuries.

If this suppressed land could shine again after all that, it would be far more significant than any other place.

So Sylvan came in person.

He put aside all the problems he was handling and traveled thousands of miles to reach Plumera, just to meet this legendary long princess, now the Empress herself.

The divine bloodline is the most mysterious power in this world, and even the people of Lianyi Tower are deeply hungry for it.

Their Highness had once gone into hiding and traveled across the continent in search of a necessary divine bloodline.

If it could be confirmed that this Empress was truly loved by the gods,

Then no matter the cost, Sylvan would make sure to get all her secrets and information on behalf of Lianyi Tower and their Highness.

"Miss Elara, what kind of deal are you planning to make?"

Sylvan's pale fingers stroked the paper as his eyes looked at Elara.

Back in Marigold County, Elara had already done business with Leif and Mr. Yu regarding this paper.

The paper factory used special simplified techniques provided by System 92. The quality of the freshly made paper was already very good. Each sheet was about one meter long and half a meter wide, with a large face value.

Since there was no paper in this era, it was considered rare and valuable. New things were naturally sold at a high price. When Elara sold them to Mr. Yu before, each original sheet of one meter by half a meter was one silver tael, or three trimmed sheets about the size of A3 to A4.

"Each original sheet, one meter long and half a meter wide, costs one silver tael. It can also be cut into three smaller sheets, each about one foot long, and still sold at one tael total."

After stating the price, Elara explained the softness, hardness, and durability of the paper that she had shown to Mr. Yu and Leif before.

Sylvan gently pinched the slightly stiff edge of the paper. "Miss Elara, aren't you going to trade the paper-making technique the same way you did with the recipe, by sharing profits?"

Elara shook her head. "The paper-making technique is different from the recipe. I won't sell it. However, since the Bai Family's Business was supported by the Qu Building before, if you're curious, I can tell you what raw materials are used. If you find the paper useful and buy in large quantities later, I can lower the price. What do you think?"

Paper didn't exist in this world before. It was useful and convenient in daily life. It was normal for people to be curious about how it was made.

But paper wasn't a deadly weapon used in war. Even if people wanted to know how it was made, it wasn't something they absolutely had to get.

That was why Elara chose to do business with paper. It was practical and not dangerous, only valuable as a product.

Besides, Elara now wasn't the same person who had come to this world with nothing.

She still couldn't compete with the powerful Qu Building, but if they ever tried to take it by force, she could destroy everything before they acted.

That was how Elara was. She could trade and even take small losses sometimes. But if someone tried to take what was hers by force, she would destroy it rather than let them have it.

Of course, this was the most extreme and unlikely scenario.

Elara didn't think the Qu Building would fall out with her just for the paper-making technique.

The Qu Building could do business across the continent. Its elites clearly weren't short-sighted. They wouldn't do something that would ruin their commercial future.

Sylvan looked at the beautiful girl across from him. She was still young, but her eyes were calm and steady beyond her years. He smiled slightly.

"May I ask one more thing? Have you already done business with anyone else using this paper?"

Elara nodded. "The Crown Prince Mr. Yu and the heir of Huaxu have both bought it from me."

"In Marigold County?"
