Chapter 17: The Treasure of Life

Neftis, the land of the elves, is also known as "Neftis", where the oasis of the parliament, the highest authority of Neftis, is located. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This feng shui treasure land, which is the size of an oasis where the three major tribes are located, has only about 1,000 permanent goblins and about 3,000 mobile goblins. Various tribes and villages in the desert regularly send goblins to Neftis to exchange needed supplies and exchange what they have; In the event of an invincibility of natural disasters, such as huge sandstorms and the depletion of small oases, the elves will also travel to Neftis to find a solution.

Leaving Haisa Village for 3 days, Haotian finally arrived at the "capital" of the goblins under the guidance of Kane.

In the distance, you can see the dense windbreak forest outside Neftis, the outermost layer of trees covered with a thick layer of sand. As soon as Haotian and the others approached Neftis, a few young and strong goblins wearing daggers came out of the woods and leaned over to block them.

"Come goblin, please get off the camel, let's check."

Haotian glanced at Kane, who nodded and drove the camel forward.

Kane stopped the camel in front of the inspecting elf and rolled over.

"I'm Kane Haisa, the head of [Haisa Village], and this is my wooden sign. This time, I came to buy some water and dry food. ”

Kane pulled out a dark wooden plaque and handed it over.

The young elf examined it and handed it back to Kane.

"Well, Chief Kane, Neftis welcomes you. Who are the last two? ”

Kane explained: "They are my nieces and nephews. ”

The young elf looked surprised when he saw Lukoshana's face. Then he turned his suspicious gaze to Haotian, who was covered with a layer of cloth on his head.

"Why is your nephew covered in his face? Unravel, let's check it out. ”

Kane showed a look of embarrassment: "Actually, my nephew has [Aging Disease], and I brought him here this time to see if there are any plants that replenish his vitality. ”

"What! [Aging]?! The young goblin was startled and retreated as if evasively.

"Alright, alright, let's get over there."

Kane nodded, leading the camel into the woods.

Haotian and Lukoshana followed into the woods.

They tied their camels to a small grove with numbered plates in the woods, where there were already two or three hundred camels, and the number of camels could also reflect the number of some foreign elves. The camel grove is deliberately planted, arranged in 30*30 and numbered from 001 to 900. Haotian and the three of them tied four camels to the trees of 301-304, took the corresponding number plates from the goblins guarding the camel forest, and then left the camel grove and walked towards the interior of Neftis.

Walking out of the windbreak, there is a sudden opening in front of you.

There are rough city walls, and the yellow sandstone walls thickly enclose the boundaries of the city and the gates of the entrances and exits.

There are goblins coming in and out of the city gate sporadically, and the four goblins guarding the gate leaning on the door, looking a little lazy.

Haotian looked silently. The goblins inspected outside the windbreak are about [line level]; Many of the goblins guarding the camels are at the peak of the [line level], and there are a few [triangle level]; And the four goblins guarding the door are all [triangular level]. It's the "capital" of the fairy clan where all members can become magicians.

Silently passed through the city gate and walked into the city.

Wooden houses are neatly arranged along the criss-crossing roads, and there are several squares of similar size, and there are several squares that sell dry food, camel meat, water, etc., and you can see some shops selling live camels and plants that replenish life when you go deeper.

"What is [aging]?" Haotian stopped outside a shop selling exotic plants and asked Luke Shana.

Lukoshana explained, "We elves live longer than you humans, with an average of 120 years to live. But after the age of 80, you will age rapidly, your skin will wrinkle, and your magic will be lost, which is [aging]. [Aging] is that some goblins who are not more than 80 years old have symptoms of [aging], and there is a saying that they are naturally disgusted, so they will start [aging] so early. By the way, Zhu Guo, Sand Core, and Oasis Heart can all extend life to fight [aging], Zhu Guo can extend life by 5 years, Sand Core can extend life by 10 years, and Oasis Heart can extend life by 20 to 100 years. ”

"Isn't that the powerful among the goblins that have lived for a long time?"

"No, repeated consumption of Zhuguo can only increase the lifespan by 5 years, and the limit of the increase in lifespan is that the heart of the large oasis can extend the life span by 100 years, and no matter how much you eat the treasures of heaven and earth, you can't extend the lifespan on top of that."

"So, Poonute has eaten the Heart of the Great Oasis?" Haotian asked.

"I guess, Poonute is in his 200s, and the heart of a medium-sized oasis can only live for 50 years, which is about 170 years." Lucoshana was a little unsure, "But the Heart of the Great Oasis hasn't been in 500 years. ”

"How did the Heart of Oasis come about?" Haotian asked again.

"It was, of course, an oasis of all the life force condensed. Maintaining a village's Oasis can generate a Small Oasis Heart, which is worth as much as 5 [Village Chief]. Maintaining an Oasis of a Medium Tribe can create a Medium Oasis Heart, which is worth as much as 5 Sage. Maintaining an oasis of a large tribe can produce a large oasis heart, and now only the oasis of the three tribes and Neftis can condense the heart of a large oasis. ”

"What will happen to the Oasis after the Oasis Heart is born?"

"Of course it's dry. The birth of the heart of the oasis draws on all the vitality of the oasis, and the birth of each heart of the oasis is the demise of an oasis or even a village or tribe. Lukoshana's gaze was a little gloomy, "In the last 10 years, three villages near the El tribe have perished. ”

Haotian felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"So, is the Heart of Oasis a natural condensation?"

"Of course not. It is impossible to bring together the life force of an oasis without using Life Sharing. Therefore, only the Sage can make the Heart of the Oasis. ”

"And the three villages you mentioned?"

"It was forced, the chiefs of the Xhosa and Yate tribes, and one of the [wise men] of the El tribe showed symptoms of [aging]. So they teamed up to persecute the three villages including Mitte Village, and then asked Lord Poonute to intervene to train the oases of the three villages into the heart of a small oasis. It will take another 10 years for them to age. ”

When Kane heard this, he said in a dull voice: "You big people of the big tribe, who cares about the life and death of a small village. ”

Haotian glanced at him.

At Haotian's request, they walked into the store.

The shop has a second floor, and on the first floor, there are seven small half-fist-sized zhuguo on a long table of different degrees of new and old. The display board on the front indicates the place of origin and the time of production, and the freshest one was produced in the El tribe three days ago and is priced at 20 camels. The oldest one was produced from the Lune tribe half a year ago, with a price tag of 12 camels.

On the counter was a young and beautiful female goblin, who did not come over to receive her, but just looked lazily here.

After Haotian entered the door, he felt that the female goblin was [Quartet level]. It is a shop that sells this treasure of life.

"What's on the 2nd floor?" Haotian asked the goblin.

The female fairy smiled sweetly: "Of course it's a sand core, but only the [Wise Man] can go up to the second floor." It seems that you are just 3 [village chiefs], and if you sell them all, you may be able to buy a half-old vermilion fruit. ”

Kane was silent. Lucoshana pouted with a look of dismay. Haotian squinted slightly.

"Oh?"

The killing intent mixed with magic came out of Haotian's body, stabbing at the female goblin like a sword.

The female leprechaun had goosebumps all over her body, and her hairs stood on end.

"You, no, you can't just be at the [village chief] level."

"Can you take me up now?" Haotian glanced at her coldly.

The female fairy's face turned pale and changed, and finally squeezed out a sweet smile.

"Earlier, I knew that you were a [wise man], I would have invited you upstairs."

"These two are together, come up too."

The female goblin led the way, and the three of Haotian followed, coming to the 2nd floor.

On the second floor, there are three wooden tables, each with a yellow-brown diamond-shaped crystal the size of a thumb.

"The one on the left was excavated 50 kilometers east of Neftys, slightly larger than the standard, and costs 100 camels at a fixed price. The middle piece was picked up 20 kilometers west of the El tribe, only the standard 8 percent, if you want, I can sell you 60 camels. The piece on the right is only half of the standard, it is left behind by incomplete absorption, bargain, 30 camels. Look, which one are you going to buy? ”

Haotian looked at it carefully, picked it up and rubbed it a few more times under the female goblin's angry gaze, and then put it back. Some doubts arose in his mind.

"Let's go." Haotian didn't plan to buy it, and he didn't have that many camels.

Kane and Lukoshana nodded naturally.

"You-" The goblin, who was supposed to be the owner of the shop, was a little angry.

Haotian glanced at her.

The female goblin fell in momentum: "You, you are welcome to save enough camels to come again." ”

"Huh."

After a few people left the luxury store, Kane went to find a hotel to stay in. Two rooms, a double room for Kane and Haotian, and a single room for Lukoshana, require 15 servings of water or the same amount of jerky per day. Kane felt that the water and food he had accumulated as the village chief were not enough to live for half a month.
