Chapter 17: The Destruction of the Abyssal Worms

Money is by far the greatest invention of mankind.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Only by erasing the ugly ogre can we appreciate the magic of nature in this cave." Aaron walked in the cave of the grouting ogre, looking left and right. The countless strange stalactites on both sides made him feel as if he was in a narrow cave kingdom.

The first impression of a cave is often that it is dark, damp, silent and mysterious.

This is because the ogre cave is far away from the normal life of humans, so the dark and secluded scene is often intimidating.

In this marginalized and isolated world, Aaron constantly groped in the darkness, moving forward in fearlessness and hope. In a trance, it was like a strong light, dispelling the confusion and fog of Aaron's own fate in the depths of his heart.

The caves of the Warhammer Ogre are winding and bottomless. If it's not for the limited time, take into account the fact that the sky is getting dark and the light is not enough. Aaron wondered how deep the cave really was, and how many surprising Bell Stones or Ogre Affiliated Monsters were hidden inside.

Stopping and Aaron didn't go any further, a hint from the Spartan helmet suddenly sounded in his ears, "My king, here is a discovery." ”

Aaron stepped forward, his eyebrows furrowed, and his two eyes coalesced to examine them carefully in the dim light.

Through the guidance of the Spartan heavy helmet, I saw that from the cave stone wall here, there was a white stalactite, thick like a small wall. On one side of the wall, there is a separate slit that can be distinguished if you look closely, showing a metal-like color.

With Aaron's approval, Kurushh swung his arm and slashed down, and as many of the rubble fell off, seeing everything hidden in this crevice, the Spartan heavy helmets around him shouted in unison: "Gold! It's gold! ”

As William said, "The Warhammer Ogre, as the most powerful branch of the ogre, has a great greed for gold and precious stones. ”

A gold mine, the spoils of the ogre's extermination, and an unexpected reward for the adventure.

Aaron will not forget that the god of war brought by Nosica, a high-ranking priest, foreshadows that the necessary prerequisite for the 'God-given trade' is that "Sparta needs to hoard a great deal of wealth." ”

Production is backward and material is scarce. "In God-given trade, gold can be traded." At present, the next major problem will be solved, which somewhat makes the handsome and slightly resolute cheeks stretch out, making Aaron's eyes show a trace of relief.

In Aaron's understanding, "money is by far the greatest invention of mankind." "With gold, the value of most material things can be measured, so that they can contribute to a civilization. In this way, the primitive trade of bartering has reached a new level of progress.

"Whether it is for the sake of God-given trade or for the sake of future development, the value of a gold mine is of great significance to Sparta today."

Considering that Sparta was poor and white, when he returned to the territory, Aaron would send manpower to mine this gold mine as soon as possible.

…………

The sunset, unlike the morning sun, has a unique brilliance, shining on people's faces like a jade plate, making everyone's cheeks seem to be plated with a layer of gold.

At this time, unlike the noonday scorching day, the light above the head is no longer so dazzling and radiant.

When Aaron stood on the plain at dusk, he looked into the distance.

At this time, the endless sunset began to become chaotic and dim, because of the twilight, Aaron's mood began to become unpredictable.

Wyvern, a hunting creature that is good at flying. Cloaked in the afterglow of the setting sun, its tail turned into a bifurcation in vision, and even though it was gone, its outline could still be seen, and the scales on its huge fleshy wings reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Aaron returned triumphantly with a Spartan helmet, just in time to meet the ** whose territory had just suffered from a wyvern.

This is not something that can be expected in advance, and this will also be the first time that Aaron has faced the back of a 'powerful enemy'.

"Honorable Lord of Sparta, Lord Augustus. The Wyvern has suddenly invaded, and the Berserkers have done their best to evacuate the people, but they have still caused some damage. ”

Shu Jiu's body was covered with dust, and the torn clothes were draped on his body like ** single, which was slightly embarrassed. In Aaron's vision, more than half of the homes were destroyed. Traces of wyverns are everywhere, most notably the official residence of the King of Sparta, most of which has been reduced to ruins.

"The territory has been destroyed, the morale of the population is low. Morale - 20 points. ”

"Attacked by an unknown enemy, a large number of houses were damaged, people's loyalty declined, and their joy declined. The territory has just experienced a slave turmoil and a decline in law and order......"

In addition to the data of this captain, there were nearly thirty corpses of Spartan civilians in front of him. In addition, there are as many as nineteen berserker corpses brought by Shujiu. Witnessing the bloody corpse of a Spartan elder made Aaron's face seem to be brushed with a layer of white ash, and his eyes flashed with thunderbolts.

"Tell me what kind of creature it is." Hearing Aaron's question, Shu Jiu could see his handsome face, with a touch of indifferent water chestnut, and his voice was as cold as ice.

Despite such imperative questioning, there is a lack of sincerity in sharing information. But the words that came from the firm and soft lips formed a special vocal line, piercing into Shijiu's eardrums, making her feel unquestionable.

For the sake of his own interests, he didn't intend to make a bad impression on Aaron. Although, she still can't understand that there will be people in the Northern Barbarian Continent who don't know the Abyss Worm. Shujiu moved at will, cleaned up the torn clothes, and tried his best to cover the leakage of large swaths of various parts of his body. While explaining, "Wyverns, a fierce winged aerial hunter, in order to lose weight and climb to the sky, their bones are actually very light, and their appetite and appetite are not large. Lord Augustus, believe what I say. If you don't know much about working with dragons, I think you need to pay more attention to the sweep of earth dragons, which leave the western forests in large numbers and head towards the plains and open fields every winter. ”

“…… Earth dragons have no wings, but they have swift limbs, and are more intelligent and aggressive than wyverns. Whether it is a flying dragon or an earth dragon, in the Northern Barbarian Continent, they are all called 'abyssal worms'. Speaking of which, she noticed that Aaron was listening to the statistics of attrition in the territory, and seeing that his cold and hard face gradually eased, she then added, "Wyverns are not very intelligent, but they are often hostile to the plains. The Northern Barbarian Continent is huge, so Lord Augustus doesn't need to worry, the Wyvern has a wide field of vision, and it preys on humans in the same place, usually no more than twice a year. ”

"Twice a year?"

Hearing this, Aaron's dilated pupils were full of determination, followed by a sudden contraction, bursting out many cold fragments of vision. Aaron suddenly turned away, his voice in the back was low and calm, full of magnetic surnames. "Welcome to this wyvern's next visit! But...... From the next time, there will be no third time. ”
