156. Those who spend gold, altars, and gods

A soldier often spent nearly 10,000 gold coins, a figure that almost made the people vomit blood.

"I can understand the true meaning of the word 'spending'. This Nima really takes money and doesn't pay for it, hey! Li Xiang roared: "Are all the Titanas in the primeval period all local tyrants?!" ”

However, the Tree of Eternity's subsequent explanation made everyone vomit blood.

It turns out that in the primeval period of the world of Iber, in the social civilization of the Titanus gods, there really was no concept of such an item as 'money'. At that time, gold was as ubiquitous as sand and gravel today, so it was used as a common material for the construction of alchemical creatures.

"......" The crowd was completely depressed after listening to the Tree of Eternity. Nowadays, precious and scarce gold can be found everywhere like sand and gravel in the primeval period, it is no wonder that the Tree of Eternity, which was used as a production aggregate in the Titanus civilization, used it as a basic ingredient for the production of various types of alchemy. However, despite the Tree of Eternity's ability to 'turn gold into things', it does not work in the slightest. In today's world where gold is scarce, it still uses gold as if it were sand.

In a way, the Tree of Eternity is like a fully intelligent computer traveling through the earthly world of the people. Although it can answer all kinds of questions, it has limitations. The limitation of the Eternal Tree is that it requires the most scarce form of gold in the world today.

Originally, after receiving the allegiance of the Eternal Tree and learning of its abilities, everyone was overjoyed. It was thought that the alchemical lifeforms embodied by the Tree of Eternity could provide enough help for the traversers, but unexpectedly, the high cost made everyone's hopes in vain.

It is impossible to visualize a large group of loyal subordinates in one go, and the current financial situation of the team does not allow them to spend so extravagantly.

Although the Eternal Tree's use of 'soldiering' is now a chicken rib due to the problem of cost performance, it is not very useful in practice. But it can help them in other ways.

The first is the 'Well of Vitality', a livelihood auxiliary building built by relying on primordial spirits. It is able to absorb the energy that flows in the Iber world plane on its own, accumulate it and materialize it in the form of water. The 'Vitality Water', which is embodied by pure energy, is pure and transparent in color, but sticky like glue. Not only are they essential food for alchemical lifeforms to maintain their physiology, but they can also be used by creatures (whether humans, subhuman races, animals and plants, or even monsters) who travel through the world of Iber. As for what kind of effect it has on non-alchemical lifeforms, it depends on the situation.

In addition, there is also the Miracle Ancient Tree, a secondary building that has the ability to create various application items.

'Name: Miracle Tree'''Function: Produce Application Item'''Building Level: Lv1''Craftable Items: Medical Paste (Consumed), Refreshing Potion (Consumed), Recovery Potion (Consumed), Healing Scroll (Consumed), Scepter of Refuge (Consumed)'

The Lv1 Miracle Ancient Tree can only produce five consumable items. However, these items also require gold power to be exchanged, although the exchange amount is much cheaper than building various buildings, but for the current people, the 'gold power' (equivalent to hundreds of gold coins) that can easily cost tens of gallons is not something that can be spent at will. Therefore, after the construction of the Miracle Ancient Tree, everyone just bought one of each of the five types of consumables that can be produced at present, ready to test the effect.

The building that attracts the most attention is the unique building called the Eternal Altar.

'Name: Altar of Eternity'''Function: Place of the Resurrection of the Divine Servant'' Description: A unique building in which the Divine Servant can leave blood and soul as a replica mark on the altar, and when the Divine Servant dies unexpectedly, the replica imprint preserved in the altar can be used as a medium for prayer rituals to resurrect. ''Special Note: The ritual requires at least three deities to pray for the resurrected, the duration of the ritual depends on the specific situation, and the resurrected deity needs to re-cultivate to regain strength. ’

For the first time, the term 'Divine Favorite' was known to the Travelers, and the explanation of the Tree of Eternity was even more astonishing.

"The one who is favored by the gods, who bears the 'mark of the gods'." The Tree of Eternity said in a reverent tone, "Those who are favored by the gods and bear the mission given by the gods. And the people to whom I am allegiant. ”

"What do you mean...... We? After hearing the Eternal Tree's answer, everyone looked at each other in astonishment, and they were all speechless.

Although the companions had long realized that it was probably not a fluke to be able to travel to this world without dying, they were still stunned by what the Tree of Eternity had said.

"So, are you sure we're what you call 'God's Favorite'?" Yang Qianyu cautiously asked towards the Tree of Eternity.

"Those who have the 'mark of the gods,' the 'ones of the gods,' are sure." The Tree of Eternity replied respectfully.

"So, what kind of mission do we have?" Yang Qianyu asked.

“…… Memory loss, unable to answer. The Tree of Eternity slowly spat out a reply.

The crowd was speechless.

Although the public does not know what kind of mission it will take on as a 'god's favorite', for now, the actual benefits that can be obtained are not bad. The appearance of the altar is a solid guarantee for the survival of the people in the world of Iber. After all, in this world, human beings are not at the top of the food chain, monsters, monsters, undead, demons...... Species that can threaten the survival of humans abound. Although everyone has a powerful inheritance with unlimited potential, there is no 100% guarantee that they will be able to conquer the entire world of Iber. Now that there is an extra guarantee of survival, who would dislike it?

So, in the next few days, everyone used their command authority over the Eternal Tree and began to establish a 'shelter' in the Forest of Giant Trees.

The first to be built was the Altar of Eternity, a unique building.

The nine 'primordial elves' stood in the shape of a nine-pointed star with a soft halo around them, and in the area they enclosed, the earth and stones on the ground continued to converge, floating in mid-air as if they were alive, and they assembled the ramparts by themselves, and at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, an altar five meters high rose from the ground and was fully formed.

At the same time as the altar was built, Li Xiang also watched the pile of gold coins in his storage space, which was originally piled up in the shape of a hill, suddenly shrink by two-thirds, and he was distressed.

Ten thousand Galleons is the dose of gold power contained in twenty-five thousand gold coins, and it is also nearly a quarter of the current total wealth of the traversing team. On weekdays, for the sake of safety, the team's property has always been in the hands of the three team leaders, Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu and Fu Bin (with the character of the three, the companions are not worried that they will use the money privately).
