Chapter 204
"We ran away, don't miss us, if you have the ability, come and hit me."
Galad saw this sentence and was immediately angry and laughed: "Good, good, wait for me to come over and hit you."
"Are you very angry? We are also very angry. We shouldn't have gone to save the God of Life, let it die, save you elves from being ungrateful and returning kindness with enmity."
"Can't you see such a simple thing? No. What do you want, do you think we don't know? No. The Tree of Life belongs to itself, not to you elves."
These two paragraphs in the letter brought Galad some touch and shame. It turns out that their thoughts were seen clearly by others.
However, these shames were gone in the fourth paragraph.
"You have many people, and it's your home court. If you have the ability, send someone over to fight one-on-one. The loser will run naked around the World Tree. Do you dare?!"
Among the group including Ang and Negris, the only one wearing clothes is the little angel. Does it make any sense to them whether they run naked or not?
The fifth paragraph: "I see you don't dare either. We'll leave first. We'll come back when the God of Life wakes up. By then, we will complain about the rudeness of the elves in front of it."
"The crops, industries, and people we left here, take good care of them for me. If because of you, the crops fail, the industry goes bankrupt, or the people die, the God of Life will definitely punish you, the God of Undead will not let you go, and the God of Knowledge will also curse you."
"If you can't do it, we will send a leaf of the small sapling every month until it is bald. I hope you know what's good for you."
The letter ends here. Below are some messy traces, as if several guys were fighting for pen and ink when writing this letter.
"What does the letter say?" Kalandair saw Galad finish reading and hurriedly leaned her head over to ask.
Galad handed the letter directly to her, looking at the distant God of Beauty City and the World Tree, stunned.
Kalandair finished reading and said in surprise: "There are still crops? I'll go take a look."
Jumping backward, she transformed into a giant eagle and soared into the sky. Soon she found large rice fields by Dragonfall Lake. After landing, she picked one at random. After a careful look, her expression changed greatly.
Aistoria was the third to take the letter. Her hand gently wiped over the parchment, and the handwriting suddenly bulged as if it had life, being touched by her fingers.
Soon, Aistoria 'finished' reading the whole letter with her fingers.
"What should we do?" Galad asked embarrassedly.
Aistoria smiled slightly: "Can you find which plane they are in?"
Galad shook her head: "The general range can be determined, but which abyss specifically is difficult. It might take several years or even decades to check one by one, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources, and there will be casualties."
"Then take good care of the things they left behind before finding them." Aistoria said.
Galad hesitated: "Is this good? One sentence in the letter is right. The Tree of Life belongs to itself. Is it good for us to fight so hard?"
Aistoria smiled slightly: "This is what you have to ask yourself. Can you, or the elf race, bear the price of losing the God of Life?"
Galad shook all over and immediately shook her head: "No."
As the Elf Queen, she knew the flaws of the elf race too well. Losing the God of Life, the elves would very likely perish.
"Then now, you only have two choices. Spare no cost to grab the small sapling and cultivate it well while it is still young. Maybe it won't remember that it was grabbed. The God of Life once said that it has no memory of things before ten thousand years old, so it doesn't know how we elves were born."
Galad fell into deep thought. After a long while, she asked: "What about the second one?"
"Build a good relationship and wait until it has the ability to protect the elf race, then the whole race will rely on it." Aistoria said.
Compared with the first one, the second one is more like a joke. Galad said angrily: "Don't joke."
Aistoria smiled slightly without refuting.
Galad took a deep breath and decided: "That's it. Build a good relationship for the time being, take good care of the industrial crops they left behind, and at the same time search for the abyss they are in with all your strength. Spare no cost to grab the small sapling. The Tree of Life must belong to the elves."
With a swoosh, a giant eagle flew back and turned back into Kalandair, saying: "It might not be that simple, look."
Galad looked blankly. As a dragon hunter, what can she see from a rice seedling? Only blank.
Aistoria reached out and touched it, but didn't find any problems.
"This is what I picked by Dragonfall Lake. The lake water is salty. These are saltwater rice." Kalandair said eagerly.
Different professions are like mountains. The dragon hunter and the Truth Mage obviously didn't realize the key, just asking: "Very precious? Very rare? It seems that human food cannot be planted in salt water, right?"
"Unprecedented, this is a new type of grain, a new type of grain that can be planted in salt water and saline-alkali land, a brand-new crop. No one can be sure to 'take good care of' them." When saying 'take good care of,' Kalandair specifically emphasized the tone.
Now Galad and Aistoria realized the key to the problem. A brand-new grain, and it's saltwater, even Kalandair is not sure to 'take good care of' it, so who can take good care of it?
If they can't take good care of it and plant it to death, how can they build a good relationship with them?
Now Ang and the others were forced to run away, definitely holding a belly of anger, and the elves planted their new grain to death. By then, they would definitely hate them to death.
"Is it very precious?" Galad asked. If it's not precious, then plant it to death. How much can food be worth? By then, double, triple, ten times compensation is fine.
Kalandair nodded, suppressing her excitement and saying: "Let's put it this way, one-fifth of the land in the world that can be reclaimed as arable land belongs to saline-alkali land. If this crop can be promoted, it is equivalent to an extra one-fifth of arable land in the world, which can allow the world to support one-fifth more population."
Galad was shocked, and a word flashed in her heart—priceless treasure.
"Why don't we apologize to them and ask them to come back?" Kalandair suggested.
Galad and Aistoria rolled their eyes at her at the same time. Of course, Aistoria had no whites to roll, but everyone could understand the expression.
The elf army with great momentum retreated gray-faced. Not only were there no results, but they also had to leave people to take care of Ang's things.
A team of elf Druids led by Kalandair and a team of Chimera knights remained.
The Druids led by Kalandair were naturally to take care of those saltwater magic rice. This was a bitter job. The elves were very unaccustomed to the desert climate, but these elf Druids were happy to do it, because what they had to take care of was an unprecedented new grain.
Holy Kingdom, Square of All Gods, Ang stood in the reclaimed farmland, looking at a certain direction in the sky from time to time, stunned.
Lu Se, who had just come up from the Abyss of Rest, saw this scene and asked worriedly: "Is my lord still like this?"
Negris sighed helplessly: "Yes, missing his land."
"Damn elves, you should have brought me at that time, let me chop them all on the spot." Lu Se said indignantly.
"Really? Bring you next time. There are not many elves, three mages, one of whom can use the Forbidden Magic Domain, more than a dozen arcane mages, one dragon hunter, three archers, and a mage group composed of hundreds of people." Negris pretended to be very excited.
Every time he said one more, Lu Se's face twitched, and he couldn't stop being embarrassed, hurriedly changing the subject: "By the way, Lord Negris, do you have any upgrade beans? Anna's strength is at a bottleneck, and she wants to use upgrade beans to rush, trying to see if she can break through to a Great Swordsman."
Negris spread its hands: "Gone, Ang took them all to plant."
"Ah!? Gone? What should I do? Anna is so lazy, without upgrade beans, she won't spend her heart and effort to break through. Maybe she will stop at a high-level swordsman and never rise again."
Lu Se scratched his head distressingly and said: "My lord, do you think I should force her, steal her quilt when she sleeps, grab her paper when she goes to the toilet, throw sand at her when she eats, force her to break through, I'm just afraid it will hurt the brother-sister relationship too much."
Negris's chin almost fell off when he heard this: "Breakthrough... can also use this method?"
"Of course, stimulate potential." Lu Se was eager to try. It didn't matter whether he broke through or not, it was mainly exciting.
"Don't, don't, don't, it hurts the relationship too much, just exchange some from the Evil God, Ang."
Negris took the initiative to take over the matter of upgrade beans, one is to pity Anna, to avoid her unreliable brother's poisonous hands, and the other is to find something for Ang to do to distract his attention.
Now this vegetable-growing skeleton has a big heart. He was very satisfied with having a piece of land to grow before, but now it doesn't work. He misses the endless farmland wasteland on the shore of Dragonfall Lake and the island in the lake all day long.
He obviously also understood that the elves were powerful and couldn't go back for a while, so he didn't say anything, just occasionally when he was fiddling with crops in the field, he suddenly looked at a certain direction in a daze, sensible enough to make people's hearts ache.
"Ang, where is that Evil God statue? Take it out and exchange for some upgrade beans. Anna is going to break through, upgrade beans can help her break through."
Ang nodded, took out the Evil God statue, and put an elf bean on it.
With a swoosh, a furry claw immediately stretched out, pressed the elf bean, and hooked it back.
Then immediately, the little claw stretched out again, patting the place where the god statue held hands, looking very hard, and finally bent its elbow and clenched its little claw.
Negris and Lu Se looked at each other and said somewhat uncertainly: "Is it... angry?"
"Seems like it, what is it angry about?"
"Angry that we haven't found it to exchange for upgrade beans for so long?"
After saying this, everyone felt a bit absurd. A dignified Evil God, angry because no one found it to exchange for upgrade beans?
Ang took an elf bean and touched its tightly clenched little fist.
The little fist was tightly clenched and didn't loosen.
Ang touched it again, loosened a little bit, touched it again, and loosened it again. Seeing that it was almost there, Ang clamped the elf bean into its toe gap.
The little claw pinched and slowly retracted. Looking at that speed and listless appearance, one could see its reluctance.
After retracting, the little claw stretched out again, patting the place where the hand held.
Ang put on the elf bean. When he got the fourth one, the little claw stretched over, and there was an upgrade bean on his hand.
"Eh, isn't it five for one upgrade bean? Why did it become four for one?" Negris asked puzzledly.
Lu Se guessed: "Could it be that it hasn't been exchanged for too long, it thinks we dislike this price, and took the initiative to raise the price for us?"
"Possible, you say what does it want so many elf beans for? Filling its stomach?" Negris asked.
"Uh, if it is an Evil God, relying on elf beans to fill its stomach, how many does it have to eat a day? We haven't exchanged with it for so long, and it hasn't starved to death." Lu Se said.
Only to see Ang pick up the elf bean, mobilize elements to burn on its skin, and soon engraved a few small words: "Are you hungry?"
The elf bean was hooked away, and the furry claw immediately stretched out again, but as soon as it stretched out, it retracted again, very likely discovering the words on the bean.
Then after several minutes, the claw stretched out, and there was a black stone on the palm, on which two words were crookedly written: "So hungry."
"It knows human characters, you ask it, can elf beans fill you up?" Negris said excitedly.
"Can elf beans fill you up?" Ang engraved the words and put the elf bean on its palm.
"Delicious." The little claw stretched over, and there was still a black stone on the palm.
"Do you eat anything else?"
"Other things are delicious" This sentence didn't add punctuation, but Negris guessed that this should be a question, otherwise it couldn't correspond to the question.
"What else have you eaten?"
This question made the little claw not stretch over for a long time. Several minutes later, it stretched over. On the black stone, a furry head was crookedly drawn, tilted, and two eyes vividly expressed confusion.
Besides the stone, there was also an upgrade bean. Although they chatted, the Evil God obviously didn't forget the exchange. Four elf beans returned one upgrade bean.
This soul-level painting style made Lu Se and Negris laugh out loud: "It seems it doesn't know what it has eaten either. Try it one by one, see if it wants anything else."
Ang thought for a while and took out a small glowing fragment.
Negris was so scared that it grabbed him: "What do you want to do? This is a god fragment, what do you want to do?"
The soul in the God's Body fled, but was caught by the God of Life and crushed directly.
The broken god dissipated and was gathered by Ang unceremoniously. Plus the large piece grabbed by the little angel, more than half of the soul of the God's Body was in Ang's hands.
"There are many." Ang took out a handful, all god fragments. The one taken out before was less than one-sixtieth of this.
"Then save a little, don't waste it." Negris had to let go.
The god fragment was put on the hand, and the little claw pressed it with a swoosh and hooked it back.
After ten or so seconds, the claw stretched over again, grabbing a full handful, probably seven or eight upgrade beans. Threw them down directly, retracted, and grabbed another handful and stretched over.
A small god fragment was exchanged for three handfuls of twenty-four upgrade beans.
"Too many, can't use them, ask if you can exchange for something else." Negris said.
Ang engraved words with elf beans: "Exchange for something else." Put it on with a god fragment.
Several minutes of silence again.
Everyone was not in a hurry. Now Negris figured it out. The little claw had no movement, either it was hesitating and didn't know what to exchange, or it was weighing the value of what to exchange.
The little claw stretched over again, holding something in its hand, palm toes bending and stretching, looking like it wanted to give but didn't want to give.
Finally, it opened its palm, on which lay a black crystal fragment the size of half a fingernail.
ps: Seems like there is double, robbing monthly tickets
