CH.424 The Tree of Life and the Pigsty
"We went home. (It only takes 3 seconds for a genius to memorize WWW and read it)" Tang Ke looked at the dragon's nest island bathed in sunlight in front of him, and let out a heartfelt sigh. Behind him, stood Dardarian, Audrey, Flowerdew, Norman, Paul, and Kellytina, all staring at Dragon's Lair Island.
"Let me say hello to my brothers on the island." On a whim, Norman took off his satchel on his left shoulder and pulled out a red rocket inside. He lit the fuse with his fire sickle, and as soon as he let go, the rocket rose high into the air, turning into a red ball of light with a bang.
Donk watched the red light dissipate, turned back to Paul and smiled, "From now on, this is also your home." ”
"I hope my people will enjoy the taste of the sea here." Paul shrugged.
"If your tribe has any requirements, you can mention them to Dragon's Nest Island, and we will help as appropriate."
"It's a beautiful phrase to say, 'help as appropriate.'"
"Each other, the Octopus tribe is also just 'helping out as appropriate' on Dragon's Nest Island, isn't it?" Tang Ke smiled again, even if there was the restraint of the Fishbone Emperor's Decree, it was impossible for the Octopus tribe to die for Dragon's Lair Island, the two sides just took what they needed and benefited each other. Fortunately, the partnership is strong.
Paul acquiesced to Donk's statement, his tentacle face outlining a faint smile.
Donk turned to look at the slim Kellytina and said politely, "Honorable lady, can you ask your people's ship to hover on the sea for a long time?" ”
Before completing the trade contract, the Elven Forest gang is still very dangerous and has to be guarded against.
"Captain Donk is really careful in doing things." Kelly Tina said with a pretty face, she is a lady's version of Eunice, with a little more maturity and sophistication.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I assure you that your men will not be delayed at sea for too long, because our deal will be completed quickly. "As he prepares to go ashore, Donk proceeds to exchange for the Tree of Life and complete the contract.
Kellytina's face softened slightly, and she compromised: "You send someone to bring pen and paper, and I will write to inform the people that I must not be allowed to yell at them." ”
"That's a pretty ladylike idea." Tang Ke glanced at one of the elven pointers, and the pen and paper were quickly delivered.
Kellytina repaired a book and handed it to Donk. Donk scanned the letter to make sure there was nothing superfluous, and then tied it to Xunying's feet. Xun Ying flapped his wings and flew to the ship of the Elven Forest with the letter, and after the ship got the news, it obediently stopped on the sea.
The rest of the boats rode the sparkling waves and approached the shore. The pirates on the ship greeted the pirates on the island, and the two sides echoed each other from afar.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Donk saw Elizabeth and Wendy in the crowd from afar, and his heart softened, evoking endless thoughts for his two wives. He had the heart to fly over directly, but considering the shelf of being the head of the regiment, he suppressed this impulse.
The ships were attached to the wooden bridge of the pier in order, and the pirates on the shore hurriedly set up ladders and brought carts to carry the goods. The technology of this era has already begun to sprout, and there have been many mechanical inventions, and this dock is an example. Robotic arms are erected on the wharf, and these huge devices use a combination of pulleys and chains, etc., which can lift heavy goods with little manpower, just like cranes.
Tang Ke took the lead on the shore, walked up to the two wives with a smile, and opened his arms.
Elizabeth and Wendy stepped together, their shoulders bumping together, and the two looked at each other to see that the other wanted to hug Donk too.
Wendy remembered that Elizabeth was the "boss", and chose to back down, signaling "you come first" with subtle movements and eyes.
Elizabeth was stronger, and felt that it was too embarrassing for her to rush over to hug her husband, so she also chose to back down, signaling "You should come first". …,
Donk looked left and right, spread his arms wider, and asked, "Why don't we hug the three of us together?" He was looking forward to this scene full of family warmth.
"You're so beautiful, who said they were going to hug you, a barbarian." Elizabeth glanced at Donk.
Wendy giggled, and said to the "boss": "That's right, you've been out to sea for so long, and you're full of smell, 'Babe' they want to hug you." ”
The family warmth that Donk was looking forward to was gone, and he withdrew his arms dryly, looking pitiful.
Everyone greeted each other with a giggle, and the pirates on the island came up to ask this and that, and asked Donk a lot of questions. He had something important to do, so he shirked and said, "I'll talk about other things later, I'm going to do one thing first." He looked back at Kellytina, "Come with me." I'll take you to get what you want. ”
Tang Ke walked forward, and the crowd in front of him naturally split into a path. Paul and Dadarian walked on either side of Kellytina, looking at the eighth-order druid to death. Led by Donk, the group crossed the winding avenue and reached the complex of buildings on the island.
Donk didn't have the Tree of Life in his hands, and it was the same wherever he went, and he wanted to go to the council chamber on the island to get it, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a thin wooden house and a pigsty, and changed his mind, and on a whim, decided to play a joke with Kellytina.
"Here we are, and the tree of life is hidden in it." Donk said seriously.
Kellytina was stunned when she heard this, looked at the wooden house and the pigsty a few times, and frowned, "Are you entertaining me?" Still can't take out the tree of life at all. I advise you not to play tricks, even if you kidnap me, you will not be able to control the entire pure-bred elf race. ”
"I would indeed be happy to joke with a lady like you." Donk deliberately glanced at Kellytina's breasts a few times, then raised his eyes and smiled, "But this time I told the truth, the Tree of Life is hidden inside. Although it doesn't look like a great place, it's very conducive to the growth of the Tree of Life. You've already made it this far, so you don't mind taking a few more steps inside, right? ”
Kellytina made a "I'd like to see what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd" and nodded.
With a mysterious smile, Donk pushed the door open and entered the house, which was empty and unfurnished, and filled with the stench of a pigsty. He asked the three of them to wait in the house, and he pushed open the back door and entered the pigsty.
"Huhu ......" The five pigs were all healthy and kept barking, and one of them looked at Tang Ke a few times, and then continued to eat.
Donk looked at the dirty pigsty, regretted it slightly, and tried to pick a clean place to settle down. He summoned a sword qi and cleared a portion of the land, revealing relatively clean land. Then, he sank into the system and exchanged it for the cheapest tree of life.
Although it was the cheapest, it was more than three times thicker than the one he had gotten in the Pirate City, and it was indeed a tree. Without hesitation, he took out the Tree of Life, used his sword qi to dig a pit, and buried it in it.
He took a few glances at his masterpiece, felt that the soil was too fresh and easy to expose, and used his sword qi to scoop up some dirty soil that was mixed with pig dung, and covered the circle around the tree of life tightly.
The dignified tree of life, just inserted in the pigsty, looks nondescript, but this is exactly the effect that Donk wants.
Donk couldn't help but laugh and shouted, "You can push the door here, the Tree of Life is here." ”
The back door was pushed open, and the three men walked over. Paul didn't care about the stinking pigsty, but both Dardarian and Kellytina had their noses shut. Kellytina obviously had a lot of grudges against the pigsty, but when she saw the plant next to Donk, her face changed instantly, as if she were a different person. …,
The tree has a gray skin with a vivid child's face growing in the middle. The child was asleep, and it was very cute from the silhouette, and as he breathed in, the green leaves of the entire tree trembled, swallowing up the vigorous life force. Judging by the appearance of this tree, it deserves to be called a sacred tree - if it is not a pigsty, it is more like a sacred tree.
Kylitina quickly confirmed that she was not dreaming, that this was really a tree of life, because the life force could not be faked. She snorted distractedly, "Donk, I've always been skeptical of your claims, and even before I went to the island, I was only thirty percent confident that you could come up with the Tree of Life. ”
"I admit that most of what the pirates say is not credible, and it is full of lies and big talk. But when we get serious and bet on a man's blood and face, what we say is all true. Donk slammed gold on his face.
"For the sake of this tree of life, I won't contradict you." Kellytina was still looking at the tree of life as she spoke, her eyes not even blinking, and she couldn't help but approach the tree and step into the pig dung. She looked down at her soiled boots and nearly threw up in disgust.
That's what Donk wanted, and he gloated.
Kellytina asked angrily, "Why did you plant the Tree of Life in the pigsty?" This is a desecration of the Tree of Life and the Elves! ”
"What's wrong with that? This was the advice given to me by an agriculturist who said that pig manure is good for the growth of the tree of life. Donk pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.
It was already a great joy for Kellytina to be able to get the Tree of Life, and of course she would not pursue such details. She glared at Tang Ke, walked to the Tree of Life, leaned down, stroked the face of the Tree of Life, and said softly: "The source of life, the ancestor of the elven race, I will take you back to your hometown and keep you away from these filths. ”
The Tree of Life was touched and woke up, looking at the world curiously with its small round eyes.
Kellytina stared at the Tree of Life, vaguely seeing the hope of the revival of the purebred elves, and a raging fire ignited in her heart.
Just as Kellytina was playing with the Tree of Life, Donk unscrupulously approached and said, "I'll interject, maybe it likes this pigsty, why don't you go back to the Elven Forest and build one for it?" ”
