"If they have the ability to control spirits of the same element..."
As the representatives from the different countries muttered this under their breaths, they couldn’t help looking at Ifrit.
Ifrit had introduced himself as the Fire Spirit King after all.
"Does that mean that this Fire Spirit King has the ability to control fire spirits?" One of the representatives finally couldn’t help asking this.
The Azure Sage gave a nod before saying, "In theory, that is possible."
He didn’t give an affirmative answer, he just said that it was possible before turning to look at me as if he was waiting for me to answer.
In response to this, I just gave a simple nod.
I knew exactly what they were thinking and I didn’t mind that they were thinking this.
In fact, this was part of what I wanted them to think after I introduced these two. In particular, I wanted them to recognize the value that Ifrit brought.
After all, there was a place where fire spirits were currently common and were causing trouble for everyone.
After we had explored that dungeon under the volcano where Ifrit had been previously, it had turned into a fire attributed dungeon where rare resources spawned. Even though Ifrit had left, he had been there for a while and had left quite a bit of fire elemental energy there.
That fire elemental energy changed that environment of that dungeon to what it currently was and allowed it to keep generating fire attributed materials.
But since it was a place that was filled with fire elemental energy, it meant that this was a place where fire spirits naturally spawned.
Without Ifrit there to calm them down, the fire spirits acted against those that came into their territory. That meant that when the countries of the racial alliance sent people down to collect the fire attributed resources, they would be attacked by the fire spirits.
While they were able to push back the fire spirits to a certain extent, it wasn’t as if they could defeat the fire spirits permanently.
There was no such thing as death for fire spirits.
They could scatter these fire spirits with their attacks, but they would eventually reform.
So there was no way for them to really stop the fire spirits from attacking them.
But now there was a solution that suddenly appeared.
If there was a way to control the fire spirits and make them stand down, then it would be possible for them to mine the fire attributed resources from that dungeon.
There were many different things that different countries wanted, so there was no lack of benefits for the racial alliance.
Once this was confirmed, the eyes of almost all of the representatives lit up.
After all, this basically meant that they would be able to finally be able to get what they had been hoping to get from this volcano dungeon.
The only one that didn’t have a happy look on his face was the representative from the Democratic Union.
That was because the Democratic Union had been the only one that had been excluded from this. Even though they had been excluded, there was nothing that the Democratic Union could actually say on this matter.
After all, they were the ones that had caused the mess in the dungeon in the first place.
So they couldn’t actually complain when the other countries cut them out.
It was considered a punishment for the Democratic Union.
So when the other countries had been struggling to gather the resources from the dungeon, they were naturally happy to see this.
The ones that had cut them out were suffering, so naturally they felt schadenfreude.
But now that they were able to find a way to get the resources, this was a bad thing for the Democratic Union.
Every country would be able to benefit from this except for the Democratic Union.
How could they be happy to see this?
I had already guessed what they were going to say since I had read the reports on what happened in the volcano dungeon.
Since we were a part of the racial alliance, we were naturally informed about what happened.
"I can help you take care of the fire spirits, but please submit a formal request from the racial alliance. My ministers will discuss the split and then we can arrange a proper plan to excavate the materials from the dungeon."
None of the representatives from the other countries were against this since this was just normal protocol.
All of them were getting ready to send messages back to their own countries to prepare for this matter.
But there was someone that thought of something else.
It wasn’t a representative from one of the big countries, it was a representative from one of the smaller countries.
"Since there was a place that was filled with fire elemental energy and fire attributed resources like this, there should be a place that is filled with water elemental energy and water attributed resources as well. When the time comes, will your majesty be willing to help us as well?"
As soon as this was asked, everyone looked at Undine.
They didn’t even need to think to know why this person asked this and soon they looked at me as well.
I didn’t let the smile on my face disappear as I looked right at them.
In a calm voice, I said, "As long as you can find that place, I’m more than willing to help. However, I hope that you will still follow protocol and send a proper request."
All of the representatives nodded in agreement and made promises when they heard this.
At the same time, it was clear that they were planning to go back and tell their leaders to start searching for this place.
It was just that they would never be able to find it since I had already found it.
I was just thinking about the best way to go about getting the resources out of the underwater palace.
