Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2068 - 955: Mage Valo (Part 3)

Sure, here is the translation:

I won’t take Mr. Gaven’s sponsorship for nothing. During my journey to the Far East, I will share all my observations and experiences with you, and all the business opportunities will be yours.

After the travelogue is published, we will split the publishing fees equally."

"How much sponsorship does Mr. Valo need?" Gaven inquired again.

"One million!" Valo said tentatively.

To be honest, up until now, he hasn’t been able to understand the young man’s true intentions or motives.

Instead, it seems like he has been completely figured out by the other party.

Thus, it feels very passive.

"Alright, but I have a few conditions." Gaven’s straightforwardness made Valo wonder if he had asked for too little.

"What conditions?" Valo asked curiously.

"First, I will send two personnel to accompany Mr. Valo to the Soaring Dragon Dynasty. They will not interfere with your plans, and they will cover their own expenses. You just need to ensure their personal safety."

Any collaboration is based on mutual profit.

Sponsoring Valo to write a travelogue is no exception.

The dividends from Valo’s Travels don’t concern Gaven at all.

But if he could seize the opportunity to gather information on the Soaring Dragon Kingdom’s customs, culture, and geography, he would be very interested.

The hardest habit for people to change is their habits.

Although Valo has noted Gaven’s suggestion, how much is practically executed is hard to say.

It’s better to send two professional individuals directly, accompany the other party in the journey, and gather information together.

Finally, compile all the information and get what you want.

Valo looked troubled, "I’m used to being on my own, and my travels are seen as bad habits by rulers of some places or countries, being expelled is common.

I’m afraid I’ll struggle to protect myself, let alone care for your companions!"

He naturally dislikes restraint, and Gaven’s approach is equivalent to putting shackles on him, which he instinctively resists.

"Rest assured, it’s impossible for me to send two ordinary people without self-protection capabilities to follow you for thousands of miles.

They each have a specialty, their strength is not bad, Mr. Valo just needs to take care casually.

In some professional knowledge, they might be able to provide some help to you." Gaven wouldn’t easily let the other party off.

This is the man who dares to probe into Komeer Kingdom’s military intelligence and record it in his travelogue.

Even when Komeer Kingdom found out, they merely listed him as the least welcomed, not sending people worldwide to hunt him down.

This alone suggests his formidable strength—would a nation be so lenient and tolerant to an ordinary rogue?

Moreover, his travelogues recount a wealth of secrets, many concerning local strong individuals or magic.

If he didn’t have sufficient strength, he wouldn’t be able to probe these secrets and information.

Previously Gaven mentioned what he gained from Valo’s Travels, yet there’s one thing unsaid.

The Weeping Witch from Stone Stallion Inn was recorded by Valo in a travelogue called Valo’s Northern Journey.

This matter cannot be spoken of.

Because this travelogue hasn’t been published in this timeline by Valo. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Even if Valo publishes it later, he won’t have the chance to record this matter, or can only record another version of the legend as the background for Stone Stallion Inn.

"I wish to see those two companions first." Valo made his final struggle.

Though he’s a strong mage, he’s significantly unbalanced.

Not that he lacks the ability to earn money, but he spends it much faster, sometimes having to compromise with money.

"Hong Xiu, serve the wine and dishes." Gaven called, then said to Valo, "Let’s enjoy some wine and food; I’ll bring them over. Feel free here as if at home."

"Okay." Valo responded to Gaven while evaluating his surroundings, clearly his occupational habit kicked in.

His focus was on the Cloud Mist Tea.

It was evidently his first time drinking this unique Far Eastern beverage, which could be seen from his tea-drinking posture and micro-expressions.

The first cup of Cloud Mist Tea is undiluted bitter tea, and first-timers easily show a pained expression.

But unlike other Felen people, he didn’t ask for sugar.

Instead, he imitated the locals and continued tasting the original Cloud Mist Tea.

His strong adaptability is another trait he prides himself on.

After three consecutive cups, he entered a delightful state, experiencing the distinctiveness of this Soaring Dragon beverage, especially after tea maid Susu introduced the tea’s origins and tea philosophy with her soft Jiangnan accent, adding more flavor.

Just then, Gaven returned with two women, one tall and one short.

The taller one was a tall and beautiful girl, transitioning from a girl to a woman, with traces of innocence yet unexpectedly hardened and serious, suggesting she had seen big events.

The shorter one resembled a tall Demi-Human, and displayed somewhat gnoll-like mannerisms.

Valo, with the Necklace of True Knowledge, instantly saw through the disguise—a gnoll transformed into this form.

It should be a dragonized gnoll, unique to Gaven’s men, with dragon characteristics far beyond ordinary gnolls.

After seating the two, Gaven candidly said, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Valo, our most renowned Traveling Mage from Felen, whose footprints are all over Felen and even throughout the Multiverse."

"Greetings, Mr. Valo." The two stood up and saluted, clearly in a daze, not knowing why they were summoned.

This meeting with Valo was unexpected, many of Gaven’s decisions were spontaneous, and he hadn’t communicated with them yet.
