Chapter 54: The Fruit of the Earth
"None of the cooked food tastes good." The fat man picked up a chicken wing and took a bite, shook his head and boasted, "I'm better than them!" ”
"Yes." Just as the fat man was about to gush on and on about to express his opinion, Locke stared at the contents of the basin and replied absentmindedly.
In the middle of several dragon fruits, there is a blue-green fruit the size of an egg, and at first glance, I thought it was a plum.
"My lord? What's wrong with you? The fat man asked, reaching for the 'plum', and was about to take a bite when he picked it up.
"Give me that thing." Locke stared at the 'plum' and frowned.
"Huh?" The fat man was startled, glanced at the fruit in his hand, hurriedly handed it over, and asked, "Do you like to eat this?" With your approval, I can raise a batch of fruit that tastes the same in the city and offer it to you! ”
Locke took the fruit, looked left and right, and finally stared at it, and said with a burning gaze: "This one is enough, hehe, it really takes no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to find them!" ”
"Do you know what this is?" Little Anne, dressed as a maid, appeared in the carriage in an instant, and she had just instructed the puppets to clean the aisles and put the removed items back in their places, and when everything was done, she had time to talk to Locke.
"Miss, do you want to eat apples?" The fat man said attentively.
"Hmm." Anne nodded with a 'bring it to Hongu' gesture.
Sitting next to Locke, she had no intention of reaching out to get something in the basin, and the little girl who had always been a servant, now that she had a servant to call, of course she had to treat herself, but this also made her quite satisfied with the fat man, the on-call servant.
What? He's not a servant? Is a cook different from a servant?
And the fat man showed a face of 'please ask the eldest lady to say a few more kind words in front of the adults', and slowly peeled the apple skin for her while smiling cheaply.
Finally, Anne took the apple handed over, nodded heavily, and took a bite of the apple with an expression of 'Hongu has its own measure', then turned her head to look at Locke, and asked in an innocent tone, "What is this?" ”
"......" Locke glanced at the crappy 'Legend of Zhen Huan' next to him, shook his head helplessly, raised the green fruit in his hand and said, "The fruit of the earth, a necessary prop for summoning the earth element Noam, this is something that can be found and unattainable, do you know?" ”
"Wow~~" Anne's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked surprised, this was not pretending, but she was shocked that she had the basic materials for making the prairie so quickly.
The fat man on the side was stunned for a while, he didn't know Locke's prairie plan, but when he saw Anne's shocked and Locke's happy expression, he also hurriedly put on a 'wow~~' expression.
"So, how do you use this?" Anne asked as she chewed on the apple excitedly, spitting closer.
"Huh." Locke gently pushed her away with his finger on her forehead, then looked at the green apple in his hand, and said with emotion, "This thing needs to do a huge series of trading tasks, and there is still a certain chance to get it, now it's okay, someone in this team bought it by accident, which saves us a lot of time." ”
"As for how to use it, you need a green space, and you need to plant this thing in an open space, and then we can lure out Norm piloting the 'Gundam', and we just need to destroy its puppet and catch it before it escapes."
"If it works, it can be used on some weapons or armor to make the item have the attributes of the earth element, this is a one-time item, if you have other equipment to use after use, you must also carry out another complicated series of tasks to obtain the fruit of the earth."
Locke was excited for a while, and explained the ins and outs of the two of them and the method of capture and use value, Anne next to him listened with a confused face, and the field chicken on the opposite side slowly showed a surprised expression - surprised that there was such a magical thing in the material world.
However, Tian Ji then found that the eldest lady seemed to be glaring at her angrily, as if she was saying again, 'Bengong didn't understand, how can you understand before Bengong?!' ’
When the fat man saw this formation, he hurriedly said to Locke, "My lord, I'm ...... I don't understand ......."
Locke looked at him, glanced at Anne with a very satisfied expression, sighed, turned to her and said, "This is the favorite fruit of the earth element, we use this to trap it, like catching mice, understand?" ”
"Oh~~"
Looking at Anne's expression of 'Bengong understands', the fat man opposite finally breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his ass and said: "The eldest lady is really brilliant and beautiful, and my admiration for the young lady is like a surging river......
And the little girl said, 'Do you still need to say this?' Look back at him.
Locke watched quietly from the side, smiling inwardly.
Since the field chicken came, I feel that the little guy seems to have grown a lot in an instant, and he used to look like a child, but now, he may want to show his majesty in front of the new little brother, after all, the status level between demons is very strict.
I just don't know if she will be blinded by the demon's rhetoric and inflate herself...... No, maybe it's starting to inflate itself now......
"Hey......" Locke sighed in his heart expressionlessly, hoping that she can continue to maintain her innocence in the future, can she grow up?
Since the fruit needs to be planted on green land outside the desert environment, Locke is not in a hurry to think about this matter, and in the past few days through the desert, he will open the castle once a night and go to the library to soak for a while.
After consulting historical documents for a long time, Locke found that there were still quite a lot of secrets hidden in his castle.
For example, when the guy who invaded the castle was detected before, the monitoring was suddenly interrupted when he was seriously injured, and he should have used some treasure to hide his figure, and their bodies could not be found for a while, and they may eventually die in a corner, but most of them are well hidden and not easy to detect, and can only be concluded through reasoning, over the years, it seems that a lot of treasures have not been excavated.
In addition to this, Locke found that there seemed to be a mysterious team of fast people silently following the caravan in the past few days, but they did not attack, but only secretly observed.
Locke sent ghouls to try several times in a row, but all of them were in vain, and he might have to wait until the Betsysaur Mobile Force was formed.
And now that the caravan has left the desert, it's time to meet the earth-going elementals. (To be continued)
