Chapter Seventy-Seven: Blood and Fire
Harold gently placed the kerosene lamp on top of the boulder, and the light illuminated the dark area.
That's when Leke Bryan saw what was going on on the underground glacial lake.
The corpses of a dozen flame lizards were hung from chains, and the water of the underground lake exuded an astonishing chill, and the corpses of those flame lizards were covered with a thick layer of frost.
"Mr. Harold, these ..... You killed all of them? ”
"Well, yes, it took a lot of time to kill during the summer vacation about half a year ago, and it took nearly a month to kill so many." Harold walked over to the pool, scanning the body of the flame lizard hanging from the chain.
"Time-consuming? If you kill so many flame lizards, I'm afraid you can get the adventure ring of the dragon crest a long time ago, right? ”
"There's no need. The Eagle Emblem Ring will have access to all tasks. Harold said, picking out two chains from a pile of chains, grasping one in one hand, and pulling hard, the thick chains dragged the corpses of the two flame lizards toward the lake.
Leke Bryan had nothing to say, because he found that the other party might be much higher than him, so his thoughts were completely different from his own.
The blood of the Flame Lizard can be used to make healing and replenish the magic potion "Fire Spirit Blood", which is a very valuable ingredient.
It only takes five grams of heavy flame lizard blood to make more than thirty bottles of healing medicine, and since half a year ago, it has been rumored in the circle of adventurers from the southern part of the Salga Empire to the Pope's territory that there is no trace of the activity of the flame lizard in the snow-capped mountain range of St. Maurice, plus the impact of the war, the price of the originally expensive 'fire spirit blood' has begun to rise, making it even more unaffordable for civilian adventurers.
Leke Bryan was dismissive of the matter, at the time he thought it was a conspiracy of the herb merchants, but now it seems .......
The fear in Leke Bryan's heart had disappeared by this time, and the doubts were getting bigger and bigger.
What is he looking for himself?
The carcasses of two flame lizards, the two of the smallest, were pulled to the lake almost frozen into ice.
"Well, are there only these two left?" Harold muttered to himself.
"Two? What does it mean to have only two left? Leke Bryan thought, suddenly remembering something, and looked at the remaining corpses of the flame lizards in the lake.
Leke Bryan found that the corpses of the flame lizards in the icy lake water had been flattened and had regular wounds on their scales.
The frozen blood from their bodies has been removed.
Leke Bryan pursed his lips and straightened his back, and there were a few more questions in his mind, but he wisely did not ask.
For example, when the girl named Edith chatted with Harold along the way before, she once talked about Harold's poor life, and joked that this guy with a woman's face would not be so poor if he drank a few bottles of wine.
Leke Bryan had been listening silently, but the teasing even seemed a little funny now.
Just the dozen or so flame lizards in this underground glacial lake that have dried up, their blood if they are all sold. Even if you sell at the price of this drug raw material half a year ago, you can get an extremely amazing fortune.
"8,000 gold coins to 10,000 gold coins, if you do simple processing and purification, the price will be higher." Leke Bryan silently calculated in his mind. "Wealth of this scale, not to mention the extent that it can rival the country, can also become a new star in the dinner party of the magnates of the Salga Empire."
If it is incomprehensible, it is unfathomable.
Leke Bryan had completely given up on other thoughts and fears in his heart, and he had already understood that if the person in front of him wanted to be against him, he could really be as easy as pinching an ant to death.
Bringing himself here, Harold may really be able to change the trajectory of his life, as he said before.
Now, Leke Bryan's heart is filled with nothing but curiosity and true adoration, how could such an unbelievably tough adventurer not let him worship. And he is full of all kinds of mismatched elements, how not to make him curious.
Leke Bryan stood silently, wanting to hear what the flamboyant woman-like adventurous hero in front of him would finally entrust him with.
Harold shouted, "Help, hold this thing's head." ”
"Yes!" Leke Bryan replied without hesitation, and respectfully half-knelt down and pressed the head of the flame lizard hard.
Harold recited a spell and used the fire magic "Small Flame" to dissolve the ice on the skin of the flame lizard.
Then, Harold stroked the flame lizard's watery body, and he fumbled for a while to find an angle. Drawing a sharp dagger, he quickly pried open the scales of the flame lizard, and then stabbed the dagger into the flesh of the flame lizard, and with a strong slash, he cut open a large area of the skin of the flame lizard.
He removed the blood that had congealed into a solid body from the flame lizard and placed the clot on top of the boulder.
Using this method to remove the blood of the flame lizard, Harold is the main knife, and Leke Bryan is the hand.
It took more than two hours to completely remove the solid blood of the two flame lizards, and the blood clots that had long congealed into solid were placed on the surface of the boulder, like pieces of red and black gems, priceless "gems".
Harold cut off two more claws from the flame lizard's body, and washed them in the icy lake, along with his bloodied hands and dagger.
Eventually, he thrust the bodies of the two flame lizards into the icy lake again.
Harold stretched, and he said slowly, "After all these things, this place will almost be abandoned." ”
He then half-jokingly said, "The meat of these big reptiles on the edge of the underground lava is placed here, and perhaps in the future, hungry passers-by or merchants will find out about this place and invite them to eat meat." ”
Harold turned and threw his paw at Leke Bryan, who caught both paws steadily.
Harold found a clean stone and sat down.
"Now, light the fire and eat the barbecue."
"Understood!"
Harold raised an eyebrow: "You really understand what I want you to do?" ”
"Got it! Lord Harold, I'm going to do it, no, no, no, I'm going to do it anyway. Leke Bryan had a look of excitement on his face, and he had already guessed what Harold wanted him to do.
Harold chuckled, "Good! However, Mr. Lek, you should be much more familiar with the situation in the south of the Sarga Empire than I am, please contact the buyer on the black market the day after tomorrow. Remember, the day after tomorrow before sunset. There is also a second requirement, which is not to try to find the army of the Salga Empire as a buyer. ”
It's a bit of a challenge, but it's only one chance.
"I will definitely find the right buyer to your satisfaction, Lord Harold!!"
The flames of the campfire boiled, illuminating the entire dimly lit cave. illuminated Harold's white and flawless face. At the same time, it also illuminates Leke Bryan's big face that is flushed with excitement.
"Good, I'm looking forward to your performance, Mr. Lek. Now, it's time to start roasting the flaming lizard's claws. I ate it once half a year ago and it tasted pretty good. ”
