After listening to what Li Xiao said, Scott couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation for the mysterious unknown island, and there was a look of longing in his green eyes.
If it is true as Li Xiao said, setting foot on that island will open a new world, then its significance will be extraordinary, and it will even be a big opportunity for the Rothschild family behind him.
After a slight hesitation, Scott said in a meaningful tone: "Li, if my guess is correct, the reason why you want to go to that island is probably not as simple as money, right?"
Scott has been in the shopping mall for decades, dealing with all kinds of people, and is also very good at understanding people's hearts and affairs. In his office that day, Li Xiaoke just raised his hand and conjured up half a room of treasures as a weight for cooperation.
.With such a generous act, he can be said to be as wealthy as a country. Moreover, his calm demeanor is as insignificant as throwing out a few feathers.
It can be seen that Li Xiao's desire for treasure is not that strong. On the contrary, Li Xiao is particularly interested in materials containing three attributes. Presumably, the value of these materials is no less than the mountains and seas of gold and silver treasures. So Li Xiao
What does it mean to collect these three attributes of heaven and earth treasures? Scott was very curious about this. When the two met for the first time, Scott was completely shocked by the strength displayed by Li Xiao.
, and as the friendship between the two gradually improved during this period, the time was right, and Scott plucked up the courage to ask this question.
…
…
When Li Xiao heard this, he didn't answer in a hurry. He glanced at the driver in front of the car intentionally or unintentionally, which was the third person in the car besides them.
Scott understood clearly and was about to tell the driver to stop the car on the side of the road and get out of the car to avoid the situation.
"No need to go to such trouble." Li Xiao shook his head, and with a thought, a yellow talisman appeared out of thin air in his palm. With a slight shake in his hand, the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into bits of charred ashes and drifting away invisible.
Accompanied by a clear snap of fingers, the sound was silenced
The technique unfolds.
It was as if an invisible barrier had been erected in the middle of the car, blocking the transmission of sound waves. However, the driver was still driving the car and moved his ears. Only then did he realize that the conversation in the back seat of the car had stopped abruptly. When he came back to his senses,
He came and looked in the rearview mirror, and was surprised to find that the boss and Li Xiao were obviously moving their lips, but he couldn't hear any sound. Such a strange situation made him think he was deaf.
"To be honest, the reason why I tried my best to collect three-attribute materials is to refine the elixir of life." Li Xiao said truthfully.
Back and forth, Scott spent a lot of manpower and financial resources in order to collect that information. This shows that Scott is still very contractual. So regarding the alchemy matter, if he blindly conceals it, he will only
In order to increase mutual distrust and estrangement, he simply told the truth about his purpose openly and openly.
"Is it the elixir that can make you immortal after eating it? Does that mean there may be those three attribute materials on Skull Island?" Scott couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Li Xiao nodded in disbelief. It was really easy to talk to smart people without any effort.
You know, on that Skull Island, not only the creatures are extremely huge, but even the dinosaurs from the Jurassic period can survive! Even if there are no three attributes of heavenly wealth and spiritual treasures, then the island is likely to have something wrong with it.
The secret of immortality known to outsiders is exciting!
…
…
As for Li Xiao's statement, Scott was still somewhat convinced.
When Li Xiao showed off his magic, Scott almost believed that Li Xiao was an extraordinary person, similar to a European wizard.
The profession of wizard can be found in the history books of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Scott has studied a lot in his family's library since he was a child.
The legend of witches was particularly popular in the European Middle Ages. They came from the dark forest and wandered around the world. They were mysterious and unpredictable. There are two types of witches. One is very good at cursing. For example, the protagonist in "Beauty and the Beast" is the Beast.
A prince of a castle was cursed by a witch and turned into the form of a beast.
Another type of wizard is very good at refining potions with different effects. Some potions can make people handsome, whiten, and even have the effect of transformation. For example, a mermaid can change her waist after taking the witch's transformation potion.
Transformed into a mermaid.
In European legends, there is an inseparable connection between wizards and refining medicine, just like any wizard who goes out and says he doesn't know how to refining medicine will be despised by others.
After contacting Li Xiao's efforts to obtain the three-attribute materials, Scott became even more convinced.
"If an elixir of immortality is refined, I will give you one as a gift."
"Oh, my God, I couldn't be more grateful." Scott's eyes showed a trace of enthusiasm. At this time, he felt his throat was dry and swallowed hard.
Immortality! Let me ask you, who in the world, from Queen Elizabeth of the Empire on which the sun never sets, to the poor children in the Birmingham slums, doesn’t want to live forever, have eternal beauty, not be afraid of the threat of death, and be able to squander youth wantonly. This is everyone’s dream.
What a person longs for! And now he has actually touched this possibility!
As one of the heirs of the Rothschild family, Scott, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has enjoyed the power and wealth given by the huge family business since he was a child, and has lived a privileged life that everyone dreams of. And now with the
When he reaches middle age, he deeply feels the aging of his body's texture and the decline in energy. Even when night falls, facing his many pampered friends, he still suffers from being unable to do anything, and he can only use medicine to survive.
, ashamed to talk to outsiders.
The most important thing is that he is now one of the Rothschild heirs. In addition to him, there are many other family nobles, brothers and sisters. The competition for the position of this heir is fierce. Although the old man sent himself overseas,
Making himself fully responsible for the business in the United States and surrounding areas is obviously to focus on cultivating himself. However, the battle for the successor is ever-changing and cannot be relaxed until the last moment. Therefore, he did not sit on the throne of the speaker for a day.
One day I can't feel at ease.
If the elixir is really successfully refined by then, and I give the one I got to the old man to make him immortal, then it will be a sure thing that he will become the head of the family with this merit! This kind of thing
Even if the possibility is only one percent, it is still worth fighting for! Fortunately, he did not refuse to cooperate with Li Xiao at the beginning, otherwise he would probably give up this golden opportunity to others.
Thinking of this, his eyes showed even more fanaticism and greed. He couldn't help but patted his chest and vowed: "Respectable Li, I will do my best to cooperate with all your requirements and refine that
The magical elixir of life!”
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Taking the other party's expression into his eyes, Li Xiao smiled calmly.
…
…
After working together to formulate a plan to explore Skull Island, Li Xiao and Scott also started intensive preparations separately.
Rothschild's business spans the world, and it also owns many freighters and cruise ships that specialize in transportation and circulation. Scott used the power in his hands to not only spend a lot of money to hire experienced top sailors and sailors in the shortest possible time.
The crew members raised a large amount of drinking water, food, exploration tools, firearms and weapons, etc., and also transferred a large ocean-going cruise ship with a draft of 5.3 meters from the Atlantic Ocean, which docked at the New York Basic Port on the east coast of the United States.
ready.
Li Xiao was not idle either. He took advantage of this rare time to meditate in seclusion in a villa in the Upper East Side, practicing, refining and consolidating the power of dragon essence in his body, turning it into his own pure essence, for the upcoming
The coming actions consolidate one's own cultivation.
It has to be said that Li Xiao attaches great importance to this expedition. You must know that Skull Island is really too weird and strange, including Jurassic dinosaurs that have survived for more than 200 million years, and the extremely powerful King Kong gorilla.
They are all ferocious and violent ancient beasts.
He even suspected that what was shown in the movie was just the tip of the iceberg of that world, where there were still many unknown dangers.
So of course he had to find more helpers for himself and sent out a communication talisman. A few days later, Immorton, who was far away in Egypt, also temporarily put aside the affairs at hand and arrived in the United States via sea route to meet Li Xiao again.
Met.
After some conversation, Li Xiao also understood what Immorton had done. It turned out that after Li Xiao left Egypt, Imogen released the loyal mummies in the City of the Dead. With the power of his thousand-year curse,
With the blessing, a mighty army was formed, successfully occupied Cairo, the capital of Egypt, captured the corrupt king Faluk, and then aspired to the throne as the spokesperson of Anubis, the god of death.
Then Immorton relied on his many believers and congregants to continuously spread his power to the surrounding areas. He led his army to defeat the army of the Empire on which the sun never sets, thus ending the turmoil caused by the June uprising.
After conquering a large number of colonies and cities, I am afraid that the whole of Egypt will be included in his territory before long.
This high priest, who had been buried in a coffin and endured the most vicious punishment of insect bites, had even accomplished the feat of unification that even the pharaoh had not been able to achieve.
After hearing what Imogen did, Li Xiao was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Imogen was not only infatuated, but also quite iron-blooded. In such a short period of time, he had such courage and courage that he almost...
He has unified Egypt. If this continues, won't the entire world become something in his palm?
Less than half a second after such an idea occurred, Li Xiao shook his head and denied it.
Not to mention that the scope of the divine power of Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egypt, only covers Egypt. Furthermore, even if the scope of his divine power can transcend the borders of Egypt and extend to other corners around, such as the United States, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and the Polar Bear
Even the great powers will not sit idly by. Immorton's magic can still deal with dozens or hundreds of artillery bullets without any problem, but what if he faces an overwhelming barrage of artillery shells? Can he still be calm and confident of victory? The answer is undoubtedly
It is negative, so even if Immorton's magical power is overwhelming, his sphere of influence is probably entrenched in Egypt, and it is difficult to extend it further.
When it comes to Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egypt, Li Xiao has never really seen it, but when he fought Immorton, he vaguely felt some fluctuations in divine power emanating from its clone.
I don't know if he is stronger or weaker than the god of death in "The God of Death" who is close to heaven.
After a conversation, Immorton also learned about the existence of Skull Island from Li Xiao. Perhaps it would become a breakthrough for the elixir of life, which was why Li Xiao sent him here.
Hearing this, Immorton's somewhat stern face showed a rare smile. After all, as long as he collected the three attribute materials, he could refine the elixir of life as soon as possible. Fulfilling his previous promise, he would be able to
Li Xiao obtained the Black Book of the Dead and the Holy Shrine in his hands, and was able to resurrect his beloved Ansuna. He was even imagining the beautiful scene in his arms, galloping across the territory, and sharing the great country. This
It feels like he not only robbed the Pharaoh's woman, but also took over his country. It is simply a double harvest of national beauty, which couldn't be more satisfying. If Pharaoh Seti I knew about it, he would be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin.
Can't climb out.
…
…
On that night, Li Xiao arranged a dinner in a Michelin restaurant and specially allowed Immorton and Scott to meet.
It can be said that the three people may have different starting points, but they gathered together for the same goal of elixir of life.
However, during the dinner, when Immorton learned that Scott was from the Rothschild family of the Empire on which the sun never sets, he seemed a little angry and unhappy.
After all, the Empire on which the sun never sets has invaded and occupied Egypt for nearly a hundred years, and Rothschild indirectly exploited it a lot, and has quite a long history of grudges.
Although Immorton was very rude in his words, he gave Li Xiao enough face and did not get angry with Scott because of this.
And when Scott learned that the other party was Immorton, who had recently defeated the troops stationed in the Empire where the sun never sets, and ascended the throne, he keenly sensed the business opportunities in it, and toasted and laughed repeatedly.
He hoped that he and the other party could put aside the past grudges, develop together, and cooperate for mutual benefit. Although his intention to cooperate was decisively rejected by Immorton, he still maintained the graceful demeanor and calm smile of a scheming businessman on his face.
Later, when Scott witnessed Immorton using the power of wind to levitate a black car on the roadside in mid-air, not only was he not angry, but he was also extremely excited and excited, because as long as Li Xiao and Yi
The more powerful Morton shows, the more he will be able to confirm the rumors of the elixir of life. When facing Li Xiao and Immortun, he will show more respect!
A night of silence.
The next day, after everything was sorted out, Li Xiao was finally leaving for Skull Island!
