Chapter 119: The Devil's Currency (Part 1)
The cliffs of Dragon Cliff are a bit difficult to climb.
In desperation, Sauron had no choice but to go up first and throw a cable down. Soon the pirate elite climbed the ice cliff, and then looked eagerly at the location of the dragon's lair one by one. Sauron counted the number of people and led them into the dragon's lair, where they were greeted by a pile of golden treasures. Although it is not exaggerated to the point of filling the entire dragon's nest, it is still visually stunning at first glance, especially the scattered golden sand and gold nuggets.
"That's a lot of gold!"
A one-eyed dragon pirate with an eye patch took a look at it, swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "A lot of gold, a lot of gems, I'm afraid this is enough for us to do dozens of votes, right?" ”
The other pirates had similar expressions.
However, some of the small leaders looked calmer, but they were still a little dazzled, but a young man was calmer, he took out a single-framed glasses from his jacket pocket, swept them up and down, and then muttered as if calculating: "About 100,000 gold and silver gold, and 50,000 gold and diamonds." The rest of the things are not clear, but we should have made a lot of money on this vote, and many brothers did not die in vain. ”
It takes more than two hundred years for a white dragon to reach adulthood.
So the wealth in front of it is the treasure it has accumulated over more than two hundred years, and because it has not attacked the city kingdom, the amount of treasure does not seem too scary. If it is a dragon that has attacked a city or blackmailed a kingdom, the treasure it has may be a bit like the dragon in the lonely mountain in the Lord of the Rings, which can be regarded as a real gold mountain and silver sea. may have experienced too much, Sauron came all the way through the wind and waves, and saw such a golden mountain in front of him, and he was a lot calmer.
He glanced at the treasure in front of him and said in a deep voice, "All of them are transported to the ship, and you should all remember my rules." ”
"When the time comes, it will naturally be rewarded for meritorious deeds."
"If anyone dares to hide it privately, I don't need to say that you should know what the fate is! Come on, you three get the gold out first. One-eyed dragon, the five of you divide the silver into a pile. Then carry it down with a cloth. The next time someone brings a box, they will all be transported back in a box, and everyone will be rewarded for this trip! ”
Sauron quickly finished his work.
Then the young pirate with the one-rimmed glasses came over, and the two of them sorted the jewels and diamonds into one piece.
These are all high-value loot, even if Sauron strictly forbids private hiding, someone will secretly stuff those two pieces, so it is better for him to deal with it himself. There are many ordinary gemstones, such as rubies, sapphires, agate, jadeite, etc., there are probably hundreds of pieces, and the value of these gemstones is relatively low. It may be because the world is relatively rich in minerals. Most of these gemstones are worth around one hundred Kindler to five hundred Kindele.
Finally, there are the diamonds that the white dragon likes to collect, and there are about fifty of them.
The diamonds were all very valuable, and Sauron glanced at them almost all over the hundreds of kindlers, and one of them was almost the size of a fingernail, which was a crystal clear azure diamond, which seemed to have been polished. Sauron took this beautiful blue diamond in his hand and estimated it, the weight was about fifty grams, which was estimated to be a great treasure in his previous life. Even in this world, it is a fairly rare thing, and basically only the top royal nobles can have it.
"Looks like it's worth the money."
Sauron played with the blue diamond in his hand. The craftsmanship of the polishing on it is quite superb, and I don't know where the white dragon came from. Sauron is not strong enough to determine its value, but it is certain that it is more expensive than the other diamonds combined. This kind of thing is not easy to get rid of because it is too valuable. Even if the royal family wants to buy it, they need to weigh the financial resources and cash. If you conservatively estimate it, it should be worth more than 30,000 kindlers!
Sauron glanced at it, and put the azure diamond away.
He then packed up the other jewels and diamonds, and then searched for any other-level equipment to use as trophies. It's a pity that Sauron didn't find anything. Because this is an overseas area, the dragons living here rarely encounter adventurers, so it is naturally difficult to collect high-value extraordinary equipment. This is the dragon that has been challenged more often. The richer the loot it collects, the more extraordinary equipment it collects, like the White Dragon, which was killed by Sauron at once.
Among the five-colored dragon species, the red dragon is the most powerful and has the most treasures, and there are basically legendary-level equipment in the dragon's lair.
This is something that no other dragon species can match.
………………
It was about half an hour later.
Sauron had emptied the dragon's lair, and the pirates who had stayed on the ship had already arrived, and the next thing to do was the corpse of the white dragon. But just as he was about to go out, the young pirate next to him seemed to have discovered something, and walked over with two gray-looking stones in his hands, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency! I found this in the corner, and I don't know what it is. But it seems to be a useful thing! ”
What is it?
Sauron stretched out his hand to take the two gray stones, glanced at them slightly, and couldn't help but be shocked, then glanced at the young pirate next to him, and said approvingly, "Good job!" What is your name? ”
The young pirate looked a little excited, leaned over and said, "My name is Nakoth, and they all like to call me by the nickname - Treasure Hunt Mouse. ”
Treasure hunt talent?
Sauron was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked him up and down and said, "Hmm." I remember you. Naturally, someone will arrange for you when you go back. ”
There are some strange talents in this world, and many of these abilities are innate, as if someone is born with an unexpected instinct for treasure hunting. There are also those who have an innate ability to search, listen, and perceive beyond ordinary people. This kind of guy is born with one or two more specialties, many of which are not combat abilities, and they are not useful if they are not used properly. Sauron remembers that there was a goblin professional who was quite amazing, born with a legendary-level treasure hunting specialty, as if he couldn't hide anything of value from him.
Sauron left Dragoncliff with his men.
On the way, he had been playing with the two gray stones in his hand, which he was familiar with, but he still needed to pay a little killing experience to appraise.
With a faint aura:
"Item Type: Soul Stone [+1]
Item Level: [First Order Transcendent Item]
Item Description: This is a special gem that stores soul energy, and is a defective product of soul confinement or other soul-imprisoning spells. The soul energy stored in this soul stone is relatively limited, and can be used to replace many special materials, or as an equivalent alchemy item. In Bato Hell and the Bottomless Abyss, many times the soul stones are used as trading currency, because for the devil, gold and silver jewels do not mean much, only the soul is what they desire most.
Requirements: None.
Effect 1: Drain the energy of the soul stone and gain 3000-5000 points of killing experience.
Use Effect 2: As a currency for the Devil's trade, or as a substitute for summoning contracts. ”
………………
Two soul stones.
They are all first-order transcendent items.
I don't know where the White Dragon got this thing, because in Sauron's knowledge, this thing is very rare in the material plane, and only Batow's Hell and the Bottomless Abyss will circulate as currency. Gold and silver jewelry don't mean much to both demons and devils, especially for devils, gold is just some boring collectible, and silver is something disgusting. Because silver is called a stinger in Bato's hell, the devil will burn it when he touches it, just like a person touches sulfuric acid.
The thing the devil desires most is the soul!
So Bartow's Infernal Souls are the real currency, but it's pretty rare because they have to find a way to steal it from the Grim Reaper.
A whole soul is quite valuable!
It's a pity that there are still many devils in Bato's hell that are not strong enough, so the soul stone as a substitute appeared.
It is an incomplete soul energy.
It was once jokingly called the 'Devil's Currency' and could be used to trade with the Devil or as a sacrifice to summon the Devil. If it is a Zoren who can absorb soul energy and transform it into killing experience, he can also directly absorb soul stone energy through guò to improve his strength. So there was a time in the past when a lot of people liked to collect it because it allowed a person to make a quick comeback!
There is energy in the soul stone.
But the low-level devil can't absorb it, it is more dedicated to the devil above the middle level, and then the devil's superior gives energy to promote, and the dedicated subordinate devil improves the strength of one or two orders. Therefore, even in Bato Hell, soul stones are rare items, basically only mid-level devils can collect them, and their strength is about equivalent to that of legendary professionals in the material plane.
Although it is only a first-order transcendent item.
However, the rarity and value of the Soul Stone are similar to those of Legendary items, and their circulation is largely limited to the Bato Hell.
- "The soul is money!" ”
This is the most common lingua franca in hell.
The most wasteful way to use a soul stone is to absorb its energy directly.
Although Sauron is not very good at using soul stones, he also knows a way to maximize its value, which is to use soul stones to summon demons, and then make an appointment with a group of happy friends to come and [watch] it in advance. Whether the devil is going to be slaughtered in the end, or whether he is going to do something else, is up to his own heart.
The biggest drawback of this method is that it can't be used too many times!
Therefore, if Sauron has a formation to summon demons in his hand, he can directly use soul stones to summon middle and low-level demons to come.
