Chapter 496: The Land of the South Wind
The "Land of the South Wind" is located at the southernmost tip of the Old World, next to the vast Sea of Treasures.
Because there are all kinds of flowers that bloom all year round, it also has the nickname of the country of spring and the country of flowers, and it is composed of a series of large and small city-states that share a common faith.
Even all the city-states combined are not too big, but they have a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, flat terrain, fertile land, and very developed agriculture, commerce, and tourism.
In winter, a monsoon current originating in the Eritrean Sea from east to west transports warm water from the tropics to the northern part of the Jumbo Sea, with the main beneficiary being the South Wind Country.
More than sixty city-states, large and small, that make up this kingdom all worship the most terrifying-sounding of the seven gods of the continent, but in fact the most low-key "Howling Storm" Bilres.
Meantime.
This true God is also the only true God who did not send any angels to earth or perform miracles after the end of the "Dark Millennium" and the beginning of the Renaissance, and even the church organization "Storm Court" that belongs to him has never been keen to expand the faith of God.
Therefore, the country of the south wind is the only place where this true god is favored in the material world, and therefore it has obtained an invisible umbrella, and the people's happiness index is very high, and it has become a safe zone like a permanent neutral country in disguise.
Many powerful people from other countries have bought real estate here, either for vacation or to prepare for their own future, which has led to the local economic development.
In addition, the countries of the Old World have also talked about the anomaly of this true God and his church.
Some people say that the true God has fallen into eternal sleep, while others say that he has actually transcended the level of the true God and no longer cares about the world... But in fact, there are no fewer high-ranking priests in the "Storm Court" than other true gods.
No one knows what the real situation is, and it has nothing to do with Evan anyway.
Kunsai, an independent city-state in the Land of South Winds, is the most luxurious Four Seasons Flower Hotel in the city.
"Sixty golden lions (different currencies are converted), are there any guests who will increase the price?
Although serpentine is not rare, it is very rare to weigh up to 20 kilograms like this one, with a clean and delicate texture and a uniform and clear color.
In particular, the accompanying wave-shaped gemstone above is emerald green with uneven stripes that seem to have been burned by flames. This is a unique piece that no jewelry expert has ever seen. ”
Auctioneers, dressed in white shirts and red bow ties, are still enthusiastically instilling in the customers the preciousness of the lots, trying to arouse their emotions and continue to raise the prices of the lots.
Encouraged by the auctioneer, many people were a little eager to try, and the word "unique product" was also worth adding more than ten or twenty golden lions.
At this time, a pleasant female voice from an unknown source suddenly sounded in the audience:
"Serpentine is a type of jade formed by magma intrusion, and is named for its green and snakeskin-like lines. As for the so-called 'gemstones' that accompany this stone, it can't be melted quartz, right?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "buzz" in the buyer group.
Most of the people who can stay in this hotel are either rich or expensive, and there are many opportunities to deal with jewelry, but it is impossible to say how professional it is.
They are clearly not included in the list of people who are "well known" about serpentine.
After hearing that someone had "revealed the truth" and noticing the auctioneer's face, they immediately lost interest in the so-called "one-of-a-kind". Isn't quartz just glass? No matter how "lonely" and "lonely" it is? A random piece from a church window would be bigger and greener than this.
The auctioneer was anxious when he saw that the situation was not good.
Only he knows best here? One of the guests in the audience said that it was indeed a quartz, and the appraiser said that it was very likely to be unique, but it was also true.
Can't even tell the difference between the materials? The appraiser should have been sunk by the hotel owner a long time ago.
Just because, although it is generally certain that its body is the same as the composition of the glass? But it's a very old piece of natural glass, and there are some ingredients inside that even an alchemist can't discern? It's not a lie.
But at this time, it was shouted out that the essence of "glass" was an artificial color, and it was impossible to ask for a high price.
And now the price has exceeded psychological expectations? No more hesitation? If the last customer who asked for a price regretted it, it would be in vain.
Knock –
The hammer was slammed down.
"Three, two, one, sixty gold deals! Congratulations to the guests at table 3!"
"Let's take a look at Lot 15, the latest masterpiece by the swordsmith Chris Field..."
“......”
In the evening, the auction ends.
A young man and woman with outstanding appearance walked out of the venue holding hands and intimately.
The girl walks like she has a spring under her feet? Bouncing and obviously in a good mood? As I walked, I couldn't help but be full of desire to talk:
"Magma intrusion is indeed a possibility that serpentine will eventually form, but there is also a scenario where a meteor falls and hits land.
I've checked it, and the one I photographed should have melted with the stones on the ground in a violent impact, and then threw a large amount of melted material out like a wave? The result is this gem-quality green substance.
We've found out where this thing was found, and it's not supposed to be just one as they say..."
Evan laughed and listened to Olivia chirp like a jolly little sparrow all the way? He already knew that one of the prerequisites for the promotion of a Gemstone School wizard to the third rank was the need to add new members to the Gem Lineage of the School.
Whether it's man-made or found in natural gemstones, it can be.
Including origin, hardness, crystal system, color, luster... Wait a minute? It is advisable to form a new identity for jewelry.
This has little to do with the power of wizards, it only tests their eyesight and luck.
"Luck?"
Just as Evan was muttering to himself? I heard Olivia suddenly turn her head and ask:
"Aven? This gemstone is called a green meteorite? What do you think?"
"Well, that's apt and nice.
By the way, Hessey, do you think the two of us have had a lot of luck lately?
Not long ago, we just obtained the "Alchemy Workshop" and [Witchcraft: Reviving the Dead] belonging to the "Living Chemistry School", and today we have obtained advanced treasures belonging to the "Gem School".
Is this the chemistry of the 'adventurer's blood'?"
The girl slapped him with her elbow, and laughed and teased:
"We were a natural pair... It's a good partner, and you'll be more or less rewarded when you come out on an adventure.
Tomorrow I will go to the Frog Song Forest outside Kunsai City, and it would be great if I could find the kind of organic gem lodge you mentioned at once.
What kind of gems can't be made when the time comes? That's the real luck.
Now it's just that the treasure met someone who was prepared at the right time. ”
Evan scratched his head, and inexplicably popped up in his mind the tragic situation when Milan was "descended by an angel" after using [Trickery]...
"Let's hope everything goes well tomorrow. ”
Suddenly.
"How do you rebel against your fate?
How do you break through the shackles, how do you get reborn?
If you can't recognize yourself, who can you turn to?
If you can't escape from your own shadow, how can you be truly free?
I'm not a poet
Not good at words
Only express your heart directly
What you think is what you say..."
A beautiful singing voice reached the ears of the two people.
Attracted by the singing, the two involuntarily moved their steps and held hands to the other side of the luxury hotel, outside the concert hall where there were so many people that they couldn't even close the door.
The singing came from inside the glittering concert hall.
Through the open door and the dense audience in the aisle, the moment he saw the singer on stage, even the well-informed Ai Wen couldn't help but jump his eyelids:
"it, great enemy! How can there be such a handsome person in the world?"
Evan thinks that his appearance is already very outstanding, but this "dolphin prince" is even more than himself. There are really only 100 million diminutions, staring at .jpg.
Soon the scene ended, and the audience who had been holding their breath and listening carefully began to scream:
"Mr. Vitas is fantastic!"
"God, it's a heavenly sound, it's worth the trip!"
"Vitas, I'm going to give you a monkey..."
The audience is mainly female, and it is simply more fanatical than the craziest modern star-chasers.
Olivia, who was standing beside Evan with the same brilliance in her eyes, was suddenly awakened by these screams, as if she had been stung by a scorpion, and her brows furrowed as she moved behind Aven.
took out an opal for psychic detection, and found no abnormality, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly held Evan's hand hard.
The conductor standing at the door noticed them and walked over with a professional smile:
"Handsome sir, beautiful young lady.
Mr. Vitas is the signature of Kunsai, known as the 'Prince of Dolphins', and although he is famous throughout the country of the south wind, he is reluctant to raise his hometown, and has never left this land.
Tourists from other city-states and even many other countries come here to see his performances.
It's perfect art, isn't it?"
By the way, I also added a sentence in my heart:
'Especially the beautiful ladies and ladies, there has never been a woman who has been able to resist the charm of the dolphin prince'
In addition to his beautiful singing voice, the "Dolphin Prince" Vitas is more praised for his handsome and god-given appearance. Watching his performance is not only a musical feast, but also a visual enjoyment.
Deep amber eyes, a slashed face, a high nose, and pale pink lips. Even the figure is wide shoulders and narrow waist, which is perfect.
All of this combined, and the whole person is almost like a masterpiece of God, so perfect that he should not live on earth.
"Well, the next scene is about to begin, do you two want to buy tickets? ”
The conductor looked at Olivia, her hand ready to be torn off the ticket book. As he had experienced countless times in the past, no woman could resist the charm of the "Dolphin Prince" after seeing that face.
He is also the biggest cash cow in the hotel.
However.
"No, thank you. ”
Olivia firmly refused, pulling Evan around and leaving.
"Okay, two stations... Huh?"
The conductor, who suffered a rejection for the first time in his career, froze instantly.
'O great enemy...'
.......
After a sumptuous dinner, the two returned to their luxurious suite on the second floor.
Walk through the ornate bedroom to the balcony with snow-white marble handrails, where colorful but not gaudy flowers decorate the small space with vines, and the soft gas lamps below the balcony illuminate a winding jade belt that flows through the city.
It is worthy of being a country of flowers, and the scenery is excellent.
Leaning on Aiwen's arms, Olivia, who drank some wine at dinner, raised a jade face that was more beautiful than a flower and looked at her lover who wanted to speak and stopped:
"Giggles, what's the matter, Mr. Red Hemlock, did you doubt your charm after meeting that dolphin prince?"
Without waiting for Evan to respond, Miss Moonstone had already gently closed her sapphire-like eyes, opened her rosy lips slightly, and issued a silent invitation to him.
There was no hesitation.
Evan reflexively wrapped his arms around Olivia's slender waist and threw himself on the soft big bed behind them.
Poof-
More than half a year has passed since Olivia boarded the ship, and with the flow of time in the spirit world at thirty-six times, the two people who have been together day and night have been together longer than many couples who have been in love for three or four years.
Some things come naturally and just need a small spark.
The two of them looked at each other and snorted at each other.
The girl's voice was sweet with a slight hoarseness:
"Now, Aven, have you tried?"
Looking at the beautiful girl, Evan felt a little dry in his throat.
"No... Haven't tried. ”
"Or... Let's try, and if we try, we're not kids. ”
"That's... Come?"
"Come!"
Squeak –
Then, in the noisy wind of tonight, there were some annoying sounds of spring.
However, the two people who were busy with something didn't notice it at all.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow slipped out of the back door of the hotel from the network of dedicated minds, leaving the city and heading straight for their destination tomorrow, the Frog Forest.
