Chapter 127: Harvey's Secret
"Phew, Harvey, your intelligence is not reliable. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I've been wandering around for almost two days, and I haven't found the desert scorpion dragon you said. ”
In the end, it is a desert climate, one moment the sky is clear, and the next moment it is a wild sand storm.
But this sandstorm comes and goes quickly. Without waiting for Chen Jin and Harvey to find a place to hide, the storm that was already quite strong had already dissipated calmly by itself.
Chen Jin understood why people living in the desert had to wear a strip of cloth or veil tightly around their heads. As soon as the sandstorm comes, the sand particles are constantly drilling into the nostrils and mouths, even if you keep your mouth closed, you don't know how to hold a mouthful of sand in the end.
Because I wasn't used to it, I didn't wear a face towel, and I ended up with bad luck.
Regarding this fucking desert environment, Chen Jin said that if possible, he would never want to step into the desert again.
"My lord, the information is absolutely reliable. This is the information that the villain has spent a lot of money to get, and the nest of manticores should be in the sand dunes near this earth city. ”
Harvey, who was holding a roll of vellum paper in his hand, looked down and wiped the sweat from his forehead at random.
Not only Chen Jin was anxious, but even Harvey was a little breathless. Although he said yes, in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart. It's just that when things come to this point, he can only grit his teeth and hold on.
These damn sons can't be playing tricks.
Thinking of the credibility of those dwarf winter melons on weekdays, Harvey muttered in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that these people's families also lived in Mulan, and belonged to the type of monks who ran away and couldn't run the temple, Harvey really would have immediately turned back to the residence of these guys to see if these dwarf winter melons had already run away with the large number of treasures he paid them.
The desert scorpion dragon, according to legend, is a descendant of the bloodline of the demon dragon Tianzhu who was expelled from the divine realm due to sins and tore open the space to descend to the nether realm, and left on this continent.
Originally, the power of this desert scorpion dragon was inherited from the bloodline of the demon dragon Tianzhu, and it was no worse than the fierce beasts of the mainland. It's just that maybe it's something like a dragon or a species that is naturally keen to mate, and there are countless lineages. Probably influenced by the dragon bloodline, these hybrid monsters are also keen to spread their bloodline, which leads to the further dilution of the purity of the dragon blood in their bodies.
Today, the strength of the mongrels with dragon blood on this continent is not as good as before, not to mention those ancient fierce beasts, but also some human powerhouses have put them in their eyes.
And the desert scorpion dragon that Harvey is looking for also belongs to this kind of product. Harvey didn't need the scorpion, though. He wanted to get his hands on one of the companion plants that grew around the manticore's lair, ambergris.
Ambergris, as the name suggests, most people will think that it should be related to dragons when they see this name. In fact, this is a plant that has been infected and mutated by the breath of those creatures with a trace of dragon blood for a long time.
It doesn't have a particularly big value in itself, but because it contains the breath of a dragon and is a plant, it can be used as a medicine for various excellent potions. The effect of using this grass as a medicine is much stronger than directly killing a creature with dragon blood to make a medicine, because the medicinal effect of this ambergris is very mild, and it does not have the kind of violent and fierce dragon breath at all, and it is the most suitable for fusing medicinal materials to stabilize the medicinal power.
Spending a huge price just to get such a small grass that can be used as a medicine? Some people must want to say that Harvey was kicked in the head by a donkey. Actually, no, first of all, the first one is, don't look at the use of ambergris grass seems to be quite ordinary, but there may not be more than a thousand plants on this continent in total, you know, no matter where you go, it is rare and expensive. What's more, many prescriptions handed down from ancient times require this ambergris to be used as a medicinal guide, which also further increases the value of ambergris.
Harvey can be said to be the number one wealthy merchant in the Merham Empire, not only has industries all over the empire, has wealth that rivals the wealth, and even has a certain influence in the imperial political circles. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hire an elementalist in the Empire's Elemental Academy.
He Harvey is now a well-known figure in the empire, and even most of the nobles in the empire have to give him a little bit of thin face when they see him. But such a figure who can be said to be calling for wind and rain in the empire, unexpectedly, there is an unspeakable hidden disease.
Harvey, who has gray hair, still doesn't have any heirs, yes, Harvey has no descendants.
It can almost be said that anyone who does not have a wealth base and relies on their own efforts to start from scratch will have a history of hard work and tears before achieving career success.
Harvey was no exception, decades ago, when he was a young man, he worked as a mercenary in a mercenary group for a while. At that time, Harvey was not as fat as he is now, and he was also a good man who could hunt wolves with his bare hands.
His nightmare happened when a mercenary group went on a collective mission, and his key point was also seriously injured at that time, and he has not been humane to this day.
It was also from that time that the dejected Harvey withdrew from the path of the strong man that he had always dreamed of when he was a teenager. turned around and stepped into the commercial sea, and it took decades of ups and downs to have today's situation.
Now, behind the seemingly beautiful scenery, the damage suffered back then has been haunting Harvey for decades.
With an astonishing fortune, Harvey began to look for a cure for his unspeakable scabies. After searching far and costing a lot, Harvey finally obtained a top-grade potion recipe, which was left by a famous apothecary master in the mainland more than a hundred years ago.
According to the potion, it took Harvey several years to finally collect all the medicinal materials needed for the secret recipe, but it was only then that he realized how rare the last herb was to induce ambergris.
No matter how much wealth he is prepared to give, if he wants to exchange it for a piece of ambergris, it is priceless. The men sent out to search for the whereabouts of ambergris grass have spent another seven or eight years of hard work, but still nothing has been found. Slowly, Harvey became a little disheartened and put all the medicinal materials he had collected into his treasure house.
It wasn't until a year ago that Harvey rekindled a glimmer of hope when he overheard ambergris growing near the nests of some drakes. It's just that dragon beasts are not easy to mess with, even those top powerhouses in the continent don't dare to provoke easily.
Harvey, who was worn out, even if he multiplied the promised reward thirty times, no elemental master in the Empire's elemental academies would be willing to take on this life-threatening deal. After all, becoming an elementalist is the most noble existence everywhere, so why bother risking your life for some wealth.
Harvey, who was constantly rejected, was not discouraged, he would not give up lightly with a glimmer of hope, seeing that the elemental masters of the academy could not count on it, Harvey thought about walking around the continent with the caravan, and trying his luck to see if he could invite some top masters on the continent to help.
