Otherworldly Gem Merchant

--

Looking at Dewey's pale face, Yan Xiu realized something and moved his lips, "...I'm sorry."

"You don't need to say sorry to me." Dewey knelt in front of Yan Xiu on one knee, with a bad face but a very determined expression.

Yan Xiu looked at De Wei in a daze, and pursed his lips.

He doesn't know how much spiritual power the Tuo En spar needs. In the final analysis, he didn't expect it this time, and the responsibility lies entirely with him.Even if his mental power is drained like this, he will suffer the consequences.It was his luck that Deviken saved him like this.

The egg nestled in Yan Xiu's hand rubbed against Yan Xiu's arm not to be outdone, and the white eggshell seemed to be a little darker.This made Yan Xiu feel bad, he didn't pay much attention to this egg, but this egg almost saved his life.Thinking of this, Yan Xiu stretched out his hand to touch the egg, comforting it.

Feeling Yan Xiu's hand touching his eggshell, Dan happily rubbed against Yan Xiu's hand, then nestled in his hand contentedly and stopped moving.

Dewey saw the interaction between Hughes and the egg, stretched out his hand to hold Hughes' hand, and kept Hughes firmly in his sight, "Please, don't do such a dangerous thing again. "

Feeling the temperature of the palm under his hand and the slightly rough skin, Yan Xiu subconsciously wanted to take his hand away from Dewey's palm, but the latter held it tightly.Not rude but hard to break free, "Dewey..."

"Please, don't do such a dangerous thing again."

Yan Xiu looked at Dewey's determined face and was speechless for a while.

In fact, he didn't think carefully about how to get along with Dewey, and let it happen naturally.He had positioned Dewey a long time ago as an ordinary servant, who would not pay attention to Dewey deliberately but enjoyed Dewey's service as a matter of course.This is nothing more than a normal thing for him.

But now, he really felt the difference between Dewey and the servant of the 21st century.

At least at that time, no one would say such things to him.

Dewey watched Hughes' eyes widen slightly, but there was no obvious expression on his face, and he grabbed Hughes' hand even harder, "You don't need to do such a dangerous thing."

"...It was an accident." Yan Xiu felt that his words were not convincing, and obviously, Dewey also felt the same way.Yan Xiu could clearly feel the pressure from his fingertips, it didn't hurt, but he had a sense of presence.

"I will do my best to protect you." Dewey gradually lowered his head, his dark purple hair hanging down the side of his face. "Willing to serve you."

Yan Xiu's hand that was held by Dewey could not be ignored, and Dewey's forehead rested on his fingers.Yan Xiu couldn't see Dewey's face, but he could see his respectful gesture—kneeling devoutly in front of him.

"You don't need to do this."

Yan Xiu was not able to understand Dewey's thinking from the beginning to the end, but this did not prevent him from understanding what kind of person Dewey is.

Since following him, Dewey has been serving him, doing what all servants should do but not every servant can do.Every time he encounters danger, Dewey protects him. It seems that he has really become the center of Dewey.Although Yan Xiu knew that it was impossible for Dewey to be by his side without a purpose, but the human heart was the most uncontrollable thing, and he always unconsciously wanted to trust Dewey.And the current Dewey has obviously gained a lot of his trust.

If Dewey did come with a purpose that was not good for him, then Yan Xiu could say that Dewey was successful.There are so many people who have been betrayed by their own powerful subordinates and confidants in history, it is not surprising that there is one more person.People who are treated like this and don't even give a trace of trust are naturally cold. Yan Xiu is not such a person. He has no way to remain indifferent when Dewey sacrificed his life to save him more than once.

Only those who are really on the verge of death will know how precious the hand stretched out in front of them is in such a desperate situation.

It is true that Yan Xiu cannot understand Dewey's thinking, but no one can completely understand the thinking and ideas of another individual different from himself.From Yan Xiu's point of view, Dewey did have a purpose, but so far - although it is embarrassing to say so, Dewey not only did not harm him, but instead protected him time and time again.

If he was betrayed by Dewey, Yan Xiu felt that he could completely understand those people who wanted to take revenge on society and destroy the world because they were betrayed by someone they trusted.Because, he would want to do that too.

Feeling the strength of his fingertips again, Yan Xiu looked at the person who exerted this strength.

"You are my master, your words are orders." Dewey raised his head and looked at Hughes seriously.

Yan Xiu was silent for a long time without speaking, but took a deep look at Dewey, "Go and rest."

"Please, don't do dangerous things."

"..."

After Dewey left, Yan Xiu found some white powder where Dewey was kneeling.These powders are recognized by Yan Xiu, they are the powders formed after the power contained in the gems is completely exhausted.

Yan Xiu forced himself to look away, touched the egg nestled in his hand again, closed his eyes and rested.

He wanted to recover his mental power as soon as possible, and he must let his mental power grow faster.

In the next two days, Yan Xiu cultivated his spiritual power more diligently than before. He didn't want to drag Dewey or anyone else.Every day as long as he is awake, he will cultivate his spiritual power, and when his mental power is recovered, he will plant gem trees.

That day's Tun spar was successfully planted, and seedlings grew.

Tawny spar is a sixth-level spar, and his spiritual power can't cope with the needs of sixth-level gems.This made Yan Xiu decide not to touch high-level gemstones when his spiritual power did not increase significantly, but Yan Xiu also decided to try his best to plant more gemstone trees.

The more gem trees there are, the bigger his reliance will be.

Although the process is painful, it is impossible for hard work to be rewarded. With more gemstone trees planted, Yan Xiu found that his mental strength was slowly increasing.Although supplying the gemstone tree consumes a lot of mental power every day, it doesn't make him feel exhausted, but he can feel the continuous growth of his mental power being stimulated.Even if the increase is not much, it is enough to make Yan Xiu happy.

In detail, the number of Jero gem trees has increased to 10, 8 Gelin and Dingde gem trees have been planted, 5 Kefes gem trees have been planted, and 10 Pu'er Pu gem tree Yanxiu have been planted. There is a Torn Gemstone Tree, which is all Yan Xiu's current property.

Perhaps for ordinary people, it is just a waste of mental energy to plant crystals like Kefess that they don't know how to use. There is no need to plant so many other gemstone trees.But for Yan Xiu, he never had the idea of ​​using mental power carefully and carefully.His family background in the 21st century does not require him to have the habit of careful calculation. He didn't have it before he grew up, and he didn't have it after he grew up.He wanted to plant, so he planted.

Looking at the big shiny area in front of him, Yan Xiu really had the illusion that he was about to be blinded.But this is the result of his labor, although it is still very small, but one day...

If the nobles on the Fang Si continent knew that Yan Xiu felt that there were not enough gemstone trees in such a large area, they would probably throw the soles of their shoes in his face in a gaffe.No noble family would have wealth equal to the gemstone tree owned by Yan Xiu. If a noble had such wealth as Yan Xiu, then he would have the ability to declare himself a king from the empire.

But Yan Xiu didn't know, so he packed another handful of Pu'er Pu spar and took it out.Since he planted so many Puer Pu gem trees, he said that he has the capital to use the fifth-grade gemstones as first-class gemstones.

"Dewey."

When Dewey heard Hughes calling his name again and handing him a bag of Pu'er Puer spar, he finally realized that his master might, perhaps, probably possessed some kind of gem-related ability.This guess made his heart skip a beat, and he looked up at his master at the same time.

"Practice well."

"Yes."

Hughes didn't show any expression, but told him to practice hard as usual.

Dewey took the gem, not only his face was tense, but even his body was a little stiff.It's not that Yan Xiu didn't discover it, but he didn't point it out.Looking at De Wei who was sitting back to practice, Yan Xiu lowered his eyes.

No matter what happened between Yan Xiu and De Wei, there was silence in the Dragon Hall at the moment.

Polunent, the gatekeeper of the Temple of Knowledge, was summoned to the Dragon Hall.The thin old man was still floating in the air, not paying attention to the giant dragons around him at all, with an arrogant expression and lax movements, which was quite hateful.

"Polunent, as the gatekeeper of the Temple of Knowledge, you let a human stay there for such a long time. What else do you want to say?" The familiar brown dragon questioned Bolun standing in the middle Ent, although its attitude towards questioning Bolun Ent is much better than that of Yan Xiu, it is still angry at Bolun Ent's dereliction of duty.

"Old man, what do I need to say?" Polente didn't pay attention to the brown dragon at all, and rolled his small eyes, which looked very obvious on the wrinkled face!

"you!"

"Quiet." Morti waved his wings, signaling the brown dragon to calm down, "Polunent, you know the rules of the Hall of Dragon Knowledge, humans are not allowed to enter except for dragons. Do you accept this rule?"

"...Admit it." Polunent dared to confront the brown dragon, but he didn't want to confront the old dragon Moerti.Even Morte was a wrinkled old dragon, but he was much harder to deal with than a young dragon.

"Then, do you admit that Hughes is a human being?" Moerti looked at Polun Ent floating in the air with the same golden eyes.

"I'm not sure." Although Polunent's movements were still sloppy, he lost his previous disdainful attitude towards the brown dragon.

"Reasons." Morte didn't have any special thoughts about Hughes. For a dragon like him who was in the position of adjudicator, he didn't need to have any special thoughts about things, because what he needed was justice and fairness. This requires it to have a cool head.

"I don't believe you haven't noticed, Morte. Hughes can understand the words written by the dragon, and he can even chat with Shana and Nas, just like the communication between the dragons." Pollen Ent's thin body Dangling in the air, he tried his best to raise his head, his wrinkled face was facing Morte, "I think, if he is just a human being, it is impossible for him to understand the dragon's writing."

"Hahaha, Polunent! How can a human understand the dragon's words! The dragon's language is the greatest language in the world, how can a human understand the dragon language!" The brown dragon felt that this was simply absurd.

Moerti glanced at the brown dragon, and pointed out calmly, "You also talked to him on the day of the interrogation, did you forget?"

"Hahaha! Morte! The current giant dragon is no longer good! Look, you have all interrogated Hughes, and no one except you realizes that there is something wrong with this matter!" Polunent was very arrogant. , laughing at all the dragons here - except Morty.

"This..." The brown dragon froze on the spot.It patronizes and angers a human being who has entered the Hall of Knowledge without realizing how it is possible for a human being to talk to them.

The other dragons in the Dragon Hall also looked at each other, because the conversation was so ordinary—yes, so ordinary.No one cared whether the person they were talking to could really speak—they all ignored it, except for the elder Moerti.

"What do you want to say, Polunent." Morte's deep voice echoed in the Dragon Hall.

"I think Hughes has the value of his existence." Polunent bowed to Morti, "Please allow me to state the reasons for this point of view."

"Go ahead."

"..."

The voice in the dragon hall could not be heard outside, and the dragon guarding the door naturally didn't know what was being said in the hall.

"Then, I declare..."
