Lord of Plenty
Chapter 12 Monster Egg
Looking at Kun, who looked like he had stolen rice, Li Tianyun asked curiously:
"What did you do?"
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew that this person must have done something secretly just now.
Kun, who was wearing a white mage robe, first looked back in the direction of the goblin black merchant, then spread his hands, and a light yellow seed the size of a pea appeared in the palm of his hand, and explained:
“This is a vicious weed called ‘wallflower’, which continuously secretes a highly corrosive transparent mucus as it grows.
Not only can they corrode brick walls, but some species can even corrode iron armor. They will corrode and strangle the trees they are attached to in order to compete for more sunlight.
Therefore, it often happens that houses covered with this ordinary-looking plant suddenly collapse. "
“Wallflowers, like those evil flower spirits, are harmless creatures on the outside but ferocious on the inside.
I used my magic power to speed up the growth of weed seeds. After a while, when all the evil flower spirits that like to eat flesh and blood run out, I will see if the black businessman can still laugh. "
"Don't worry. Although evil flower spirits are relatively rare, they actually don't have much attack power. They are probably as dangerous as the bucktooth fish you saw in the frozen river.
Here are the least dangerous magical creatures. Children can easily deal with them as long as they are careful. "
"Then what if I'm not careful? I see that there are not just one or two evil flower spirits in the cage."
After humming, Kun gave a general description and said with a smile:
"The end result is probably that a person will be chased all over the street and bitten by more than a dozen Chihuahuas."
The scene was so beautiful that even a person like Li Tianyun, who had always been serious in speech and speech, was happy. But he wondered if the businessman would be more disciplined in the future after suffering this loss.
It is estimated that it is unlikely. 80% of them will only think that they are unlucky this time and will get worse next time.
The two of them plus three guards walked slowly towards the center of the square and visited each stall one by one.
The open-air auction in Lovos City won't start until ten in the morning. It's still early, so neither of them is in a hurry.
One person is picky and can't wait to break a copper coin into eight pieces for use. The other person is dazzled and finds everything new and strange.
Kun found many interesting little things in the small stalls on the ground, such as half a green crystal with broken magic inscriptions engraved inside.
According to the stall owner, this is a magic crystal he got from a ruin on the edge of the Forbidden Scorched Earth during his last adventure. It is of great research value.
A tail feather with golden patterns on it is as long as an adult's arm and can float in the air out of thin air, attracting the attention of many people.
Kun couldn't estimate the level of this Warcraft material, it was probably between level three and four.
He probably got some gossip from the brokers, and the price offered by the stall owner was extremely high. At first glance, he was regarded as a scapegoat who was not short of money. Unfortunately, he was only half right.
Indeed, he always only buys things based on what he sees. In the past, he was the one doing the shopping, and behind him, Old Tate was responsible for paying.
But I really didn’t bring much money with me when I went out this time and couldn’t afford it, so in the end the negotiation fell apart.
"Looking at the pattern of the tail feathers, it looks a bit like the feathers of the Storm Dragon Dove in the legendary Warcraft Illustrated Book, but the color is mixed and impure, and the pattern is a bit messy. It is more likely that it is a hybrid descendant of the Storm Dragon Dove and other kinds of Warcraft.
Although it is unlikely that such an existence can break through to the third level, it is still somewhat possible, but unfortunately it is too expensive. "
A little regretful, Kun kept thinking. If he really got that tail feather, he could start researching the super-level Warcraft bloodline fusion potion after returning to the Harvest Territory.
Although the tail feather of the monster is unlikely to be the material of a fourth-level being, it is somehow related.
The bloodline potion made from this material is less likely to be awakened in the future. He himself will not use it, but the knights in the territory will not refuse this kind of drop from the sky that can greatly improve their strength. pie.
Even if you resell this semi-finished product, you can easily recover the research and development costs and material fees.
What Kun values more is the experience accumulated in the process of researching super-level Warcraft bloodline fusion potions. This is the real wealth and knowledge that a great mage like Kun really values!
As he was walking, he suddenly realized that the people around him were missing. When he looked back, he found that Li Tianyun was stopped at a stall selling magic materials, with his head lowered and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Seeing that the stall owner and employees were all warriors wearing thick animal skin armor, Kun guessed that this was a business group affiliated with a certain mercenary group, processing goods on the spot that were destined to be unable to be stored for a long time.
Those who can have their own independent business groups are large mercenary groups. Most of them are old mercenary groups who are about to retire or members of the mercenary group who have suffered serious physical injuries during their missions. Being sent to work in the business group was considered as an escape route for those members of the mercenary group.
Although this kind of life is much more stable than those active members who need to frequently explore ancient magic ruins and dangerous monster forests.
But most mercenaries who are accustomed to licking blood from the tip of a knife and being free are actually not willing to run business lines. They always feel that their skills are useless.
The owner of the Warcraft material stall, who has a black eyepatch over his left eye and an obvious scar on his face, and gray hair on his temples, is fine when he's not smiling, but looks a little extra charming when he smiles.
"Everything is good, sir. Everything is cheap."
Kunzhi frowned at the northern dialect, and he had to ask twice before he roughly understood what the stall owner meant.
What Li Tianyun was squatting on the ground looking at was not some Warcraft materials such as Demonic Wolf Claws, but various Warcraft eggs with different colors and patterns placed in the corner. They were as small as an adult's fist and as big as a watermelon, with huge differences.
Someone was picking over the monster eggs next to them. A nobleman who came from nowhere was carefully observing the quality of the monster eggs with a pure crystal magnifying glass on his chest. He looked like he was very knowledgeable about this. appearance.
Kun also squatted down, not caring that the snow-white mage robe on his body was stained by the slightly muddy ground, and said in a low voice:
"Don't be fooled, the water in the Monster Egg is too deep, and basically no one can tell whether a Monster Egg is good or bad based on its appearance.
Even in the capital, there are many businessmen who have taken advantage of the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. They say that the eggs of high-level monsters that have been taken out from the lair of certain high-level monsters after all the hardships are just some unknown monsters picked up from the ground. Egg. "
“One of my cousins once made a big joke and was deceived miserably.
She once bought a dragon egg said to be a Frostwing dragon at a high price, and she also wanted to become a veritable dragon knight.
After hatching it carefully for more than half a year, a slimy water-washing toad hatched out, which almost made her angry to death and made her afraid to go out to meet people in the capital for several years. "
Many monsters will just find a place to lay their eggs, and do not protect their young, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Therefore, Warcraft eggs are still very common here, and you might be able to pick one up just walking on the road near the forest.
The mercenary group stayed in those big forests for several months, and there was naturally no shortage of harvests such as monster eggs. It could be said that they were everywhere.
But only those monster eggs that are confirmed to be taken from the lairs of certain types of monsters can be sold at a good price.
It will be sold to well-known Warcraft merchants, and finally flow into the hands of some nobles who are not short of money, or to places like the Colosseum.
The remaining monster eggs of unknown varieties can only be sent to such markets, waiting for some people to 'discern pearls'.
It is also very simple to hatch monster eggs. You only need to keep them warm. The difficult thing is how to feed these fast-growing stomach kings. If the monsters are not full, they will eat people.
Therefore, in Yongxu Continent, even if some farmers are lucky enough to pick up a Warcraft egg, they will not change their destiny. They will only choose to sell the Warcraft egg before it hatches, or add a fried egg to breakfast.
Otherwise, when the monster eggs hatch, you won’t be able to tell who will eat whom.
Li Tianyun picked up a beautiful white monster egg with light blue cloud patterns from the stall, placed it in his hands and rubbed it carefully.
The aristocratic boy on the side who looked to be about the same age as them put down the dark red dragon scale egg that was selling well, leaned out half of his body, held up the single magnifying glass in his hand, and stared at the Warcraft in Li Tianyun's hand. Dan looked around and finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so he spoke:
"Sir, you still need to practice your eyesight. Many people have fallen into trouble here, and there are many wealthy businessmen who spent hundreds of millions of dollars gambling until they lost their entire fortune.
Besides, there are cracks on your monster egg. Such an egg cannot be hatched. It is not even a gamble. It is just buying back a rotten egg that cannot even be eaten. "
In fact, in his opinion, the performance of this monster egg is worthy of gambling. The first monster egg he saw at this stall just now was this monster egg, full of magic power.
The magic detection magnifying glass in his hand clearly showed that it should be the descendant of some rare high-level warcraft, but unfortunately the egg had cracked.
If you look carefully, you can still see strands of magic power constantly escaping from the cracks on the monster egg.
It should be that it was not well preserved during transportation. Even if it can be hatched normally, it will be inherently weaker than its peers.
Such disadvantaged creatures have basically no chance of survival in the wild and will only be eliminated by nature. Even if they are raised artificially, they have basically no value at all.
Kun took a closer look and saw a small, imperceptible crack on the top of the white monster egg. He asked what Li Yuntian had been touching just now.
After hesitating for a moment, Kun said bluntly:
“The guy said that this monster egg is not in good condition and may not hatch.
If you like Warcraft eggs, I can ask a familiar Warcraft merchant to get you a serious high-level Warcraft egg. It is definitely not the kind of 'gamble egg' that can't even determine the breed and rank. "
'Betting on eggs' is a very popular game throughout the kingdom. In normal gambling, you will lose nine times out of ten, but in 'Betting on eggs', you will lose ninety-nine times out of a hundred times.
It is true that some unscrupulous merchants have mixed in a large number of eggs that are not even low-level monster eggs, but ordinary creatures with only slight magical power. It would be strange not to lose.
Kun has never understood such a deceptive game. Why are all those people so unhappy with each other? It seems that giving lots of money to those scammers is their only pleasure.
"No, that's it."
Feeling the faint heartbeat coming from the monster egg, Li Tianyun's bright eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible tenderness, "I feel like I am destined to this egg."
Is it because we are all born with disabilities?
Kun was speechless for a long time.
Some people regard beautiful jade as having slight flaws as waste, but some masters carefully carve it and turn decay into magic.
There are always forks in the road of life, and God knows where the future will lead.
Some people have used up their good luck in their lifetime just by meeting each other.
A cracked monster egg cost Kun seven silver coins, and he got a basket of monster material stall owner's good words with strong dialect characteristics that were difficult to understand.
It was roughly blessing him to buy a good egg that could hatch a dragon.
It seemed that seeing that he had persuaded him so well, this person still went his own way and bought the bad egg. The noble boy in gorgeous clothes made a strange sound from his mouth, slowly stood up from the ground, and walked away shaking his head.
Probably thought that he had met two fools with a lot of money, and he disdained to say another word.
As time approached the time of the open-air auction, more and more people gathered in the direction of the center of the square, and it was a black mass.
Most of these people did not go to the auction, but to join in the fun.
Sometimes there are rare goods in the auction here, and just seeing those rare things is enough for these people who lack entertainment to talk for a long time.
Under the guidance of three guards wearing the finest hundred-forged armor made by dwarf craftsmen, the spectators in front of them gave way on their own initiative, not only without any resentment, but also with a flattering expression of honor and fortune.
Kun and Li Tianyun came to the best position at the front of the auction table in the center of the square without any obstacles.
In Yongxu Continent, nobles are nobles, and they have an insurmountable gap with the common people not only in wealth but also in power. No one thinks there is anything wrong with this.
Born like this, the world is like this.
Feeling the countless prying eyes behind him gathering like a substantial thorn, Li Tianyun felt a little awkward.
This is the second time he has truly felt the privileges brought by Kun's noble identity.
The first time was when I was patrolling the Rich Territory. A vast land of 40,000 to 50,000 square kilometers belongs to only one person. He can independently collect taxes, plan buildings, and make laws for the people in the territory. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the power of life and death.
If it were in a different place, how many people with unsteady hearts would continue to expand, become complacent, and indulge in this game of power because of the unrestrained power?
No wonder Kun always laughed and called himself an alien.
A noble born in such a world, but only likes the free and relaxed living atmosphere of Blue Star, and even wanted to settle in Blue Star. What else can such a person be if not an alien?
Coincidentally, he is also an alien in the eyes of ordinary people.
I think this is also the real reason why they can hit it off and become friends at first sight.
