While wind dragon materials weren’t as tough as earth dragon materials, they were still plenty hard and lightweight to boot, and valuable because they could be used for accessories, tools, weapons, and armor. The rarity of the materials also put them right up there next to earth dragon materials, which made two and a half wind dragons a good deal for the forest that Eldan was offering.

Now for me, it felt like enough just to go get the materials, give them to Eldan, and be done with it, but this was a lecture of sorts. Eldan wanted me to practice negotiating, even if it was just practice. So I gave it a shot, but...after a while I just plum gave up and decided that from that point on, I was going to drop all negotiations in Ellie’s hands.

Clothes and foods and everyday essentials were one thing, but land and dragon materials were another, and when it came to bigger discussions about land value and the economy, I really couldn’t follow. Maybe I just hadn’t the imagination for it, but it was more than I could handle. Still, Ellie made a living in sales, so it seemed best to leave things with her.

“Well, that’s certainly one option,” Eldan had said when I’d told him. “And it is very important to surround yourself with friends and assistants that you can trust. However, if you, as the person in charge, know nothing about what’s going on, you won’t be able to make the correct decision should things go wrong. For that reason, studying the matters of your domain is important, and you simply must keep it up!”

That got Eldan even more passionate about the session, and he launched into a really long-winded explanation of all sorts of things, most of which Alna and myself couldn’t remember most of. In that way, alongside our study session, Eldan spoke to Ellie about the highway, and negotiations proceeded with regards to the forest and the wind dragon materials. In the end it was decided that the highway would start at the city in which Eldan lived, Merangal, then pass through the forest and the grasslands, and along the side of Iluk Village to about the center of our domain.

We’d have to pay separately for any other roads we wanted to build. Ellie had lots of ideas, but that was all going to happen in the future.

As for the forest, Ellie managed to bargain Eldan down to just two wind dragons. With the bargaining settled, we drew a line through the forest on a map to make clear which parts belonged to whom, and then Eldan and I stamped a number of documents certifying the fact. There were two copies of the maps and the contracts: one for me and one for Eldan, and the original would go to the king. Once that was done, our property negotiations were all done.

All the studying and negotiations took three days in total. But now that Eldan was all done
