Chapter 228 Treasure, Inheritance of the Holy Dragon?
The giant eagle flew so fast that Chris couldn't catch up and could only watch it drift away.
The huge body of the purple-scaled gorilla suddenly fell to the ground, splashing dust all over the sky.
Chris turned to help Tina and Lauder, and easily killed the two-headed snake and the gryphon.
The black magician lost three powerful splicing monsters in this battle, which can be said to be a serious loss of vitality.
It's a pity that we couldn't keep him, he was also a safety hazard.
"You saved my life again." Patriarch Lauder came to Chris's side and said gratefully.
Chris said: "I didn't work in vain to save you, I need to be paid."
Lauder looked at Princess Niu Niu and said: "Let's do this. I betroth my most precious daughter to you, which will be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace."
Chris almost choked, wondering why the old patriarch's mind jumped so quickly.
"Ahem." Tina coughed slightly not far away.
"No need." Chris said seriously, "It's just a small matter that doesn't require such a big favor. You just need to give me two saffron seeds and the matter will be even."
"My daughter is gentle and sweet, well-behaved and obedient. The most important thing is that she is hardworking and capable. Do you really not want to consider it?"
Chris looked at him with disdain, do you believe this?
I almost made you mad to death last night, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Tina came over and pulled Chris aside, looked up at Lauder and said: "There is so much nonsense, are you going to give it to me? You can't even exchange a few seeds for the two life-saving graces, right?"
Lauder's eyes glanced back and forth between Chris and Tina, feeling a little regretful.
"Here! It's a little difficult for you to get finished flowers, but it's okay to send a few seeds. But I don't have them with me, so I need you to return to the city with me to get them."
"Can."
······
The four Chriss returned to the Tauren City.
When they saw Lauder coming back, the tribesmen were simply shocked: "Chief, where have you been at night?"
Lauder sighed and said: "Alas, I was captured by the evil magician. Fortunately, these two humans took action and rescued me again. Dick, go and call back all the people who are searching for me.
Bar."
"Yes!" A particularly ugly young tauren turned around and trotted away.
After these two experiences, the tauren in the city are no longer so repulsive towards Chris and Tina, and their attitude has softened a lot.
Chris followed Lauder to a tall house. There were two young guards guarding the door. They held sharp axes and looked straight ahead, wary of people coming and going.
Obviously, they take this place very seriously.
"This is where the seeds are stored. I can give you more if you want. Saffron is very delicate. Whether you can grow it depends on your ability." Lauder asked someone to open the door, and there were piles of saffron inside.
Full sacks.
He picked up a bag and untied the vines that tied the mouth of the bag. Inside were seeds the size of a fingernail, flat and brown-gray in color, a bit like they were made of chocolate, and they were shiny.
Lauder very generously grabbed a handful, and with his big palm, there were at least hundreds of them.
Chris took it with a smile and put it all into the space ring: "If you need it in the future, you can come to me. As long as you work for me every day, you can get enough saffron."
Lauder said: "I don't think you can cultivate it successfully. It's even possible that there are so many seeds that not even a flower can grow."
Chris said confidently: "I have a lot of ideas, as long as you coordinate the tribesmen to work for me."
Lauder nodded and said: "If you can grow saffron on a large scale, we are very willing to work for you."
"Okay, then it's settled." Chris smiled happily, "By the way, why are you so resistant to contact with outsiders?"
Lauder explained: "There are one or two waves of adventurers who come to this place every year to hunt for treasure. Our tribe has a very hot temper. It is easy for the two sides to conflict. Once blood is seen, we tauren will fall into a state of rage, and then
We have to consume saffron to calm our mood. In the past two years, the production of saffron has gradually decreased, forcing us to close the city."
"One more thing. In the past, three or five tribesmen would disappear every year. It was most likely that they were captured by those evil magicians."
Chris said: "When I came here, I passed through the territory of the Rhino people. Why didn't I hear their clan leader talk about this kind of thing?"
"Hmph, those guys with simple minds and well-developed limbs." Lauder showed a mocking look, "Every part of their body is stupid to the core, and they can't stand the eyes of the evil magician."
Chris nodded in agreement. It seemed that being stupid had its benefits. At least he didn't have to worry about being captured by a black magician and used as material for splicing magic.
He still has a question: "Does the treasure really exist?"
Lauder said seriously: "It's true. The ancestors of us and the Rhinos came to this deserted land because they were looking for treasure. It is said that the treasure is related to the ancient holy war thousands of years ago, and is most likely the inheritance of the Holy Dragon Caesar.
."
"The ancestors of the two families have been enemies for hundreds of years. Their strength is about the same, but in order to defeat each other, they both want to get Caesar's treasure."
Chris and Tina looked at each other, not expecting this treasure to have such a long history.
Thousands of years ago, an evil Hell Dragon was born on this continent. It created black magic and caused trouble on the continent.
Its level breaks through the limit and reaches the holy level, which is unmatched by anyone in the world.
Later, a generation of genius Caesar emerged, also broke through to the holy level, fought with the Hell Demon Dragon, and finally successfully sealed it in the abyss of the far north.
The war between them is known as the Holy War of the Ancients.
Chris asked: "Do you know any more information?"
Lauder shook his head and said: "No, that's all. We have also passed it down orally from generation to generation of clan leaders, but after all, there is a gap of hundreds of years from the era of our ancestors, so many things are missing."
Chris looked solemn. He originally thought that the illusory treasures were at most some gold and silver artifacts, which were of little value.
But looking at it now, if it is really related to the inheritance of Holy Dragon Caesar, then I must find it no matter what.
Black magicians appear frequently in this area. If they discover it first, it will be a big trouble.
······
After obtaining the saffron seeds, the mission of this trip was successfully completed.
Not only that, Chris also gained thousands of strong coolies.
With the two major groups of rhino and tauren, the development of the territory will surely flourish.
