A total of about ten tons of gold and silver is not a lot for the country, but gold is the country's most important strategic reserve material, and naturally the more the better.

Even if Lu Yao didn't talk to Yan Xingxiu about buying the island this time, he would have asked him to sell the gold, silver and jewelry in Fanghu Immortal Island.

After going down the mountain, Yan Xingxiu declined Min Tao's invitation and left.

Lu Yao and Min Tao returned to the villa and found that there were two people standing at the door of the villa, it was Yang Huaicun and Jerome.

As soon as he saw Lu Yao, Yang Huaicun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, bowed down and said, "Good evening, boss!"

Lu Yao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, you have worked hard for you recently." ”

Yang Huaicun said repeatedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, serving the boss is my greatest honor." ”

Jerome also stepped forward to learn from Yang Huaicun's appearance, bowed down and said, "Giovanni Jerome has seen the boss. ”

Lu Yao nodded at him and said, "I've already heard about you, let's talk about it in advance." ”

Jerome said excitedly, "Yes, boss." ”

Min Tao opened the door of the villa, invited the three of them in, and asked Yang Huaicun that neither of them had eaten, so Min Tao went down to cook first, leaving time for the teacher and Yang Huaicun.

Don't look at Min Tao as a rough man, there is no one else in the family except him, but in fact, he has good cooking skills, after all, men who have been single for a long time will get some food by themselves, and over time they will practice a good skill.

Min Tao went to the basement first, carefully stored the stone knife, and then began to cook.

In the hall, Lu Yao sat on the sofa, and Yang Huaicun and Jerome sat on either side.

Lu Yao looked at Jerome and said with an indifferent expression on his face: "Your bloodline curse is not a very difficult thing for me, but do you want to solve it temporarily, or do you want to solve it once and for all?"

Jerome was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Boss, I naturally want to do it once and for all." ”

Lu Yao said in a deep voice: "If you want to do it once and for all, you must find someone who has cursed your bloodline, and you must take the rhizome of a spirit fruit tree and use it as medicine." ”

"If it's solved temporarily, I can seal your bloodline curse right now, and promise that it won't explode within ten years. However, if you have your own bloodline, the curse will still be passed on to your children. ”

Jerome's face turned pale suddenly, and he asked bitterly, "Is there no other way to choose?" Now that it has been hundreds of thousands of years since my first ancestor, where can I find the one who curses?"

The implication is that if the person dies, isn't there nothing to be done?

Lu Yao said: "If that person is no longer in this world, then you only need to use the root of the spirit fruit tree to boil medicine, and then I can directly help you break the curse." ”

Jerome's heart moved slightly, if so, maybe he could still be saved, but when he thought of the people in the family, they didn't necessarily think that they were so bent on lifting the curse.

For them, this bloodline curse is a good thing, allowing them to take the "Divine Grace Fruit" and smoothly awaken their abilities and make them extremely powerful.

Even with some of the undesirable consequences of this - such as taking blood regularly to maintain their strength, fear of sunlight, and a penchant for being active in the dark, etc., many of them would rather not lift the bloodline curse than lose their great power.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, if you take away the rhizome of the Divine Grace Fruit Tree, will it be harmful to the Divine Grace Fruit Tree?"

Lu Yao smiled dumbly: "There are so many rhizomes in a tree, how can it be harmful to take one of them?"

Jerome said, "Boss, if you can promise that you won't hurt the Divine Grace Fruit Tree, then I can tell you the whereabouts of the Divine Grace Fruit Tree." ”

As for why Jerome didn't go and take the rhizome of the Spirit Fruit Tree himself, it was because he knew that he didn't have the ability.

The Spirit Fruit Tree is planted in a very hidden valley, where there are many family ability masters and beasts guarding it, unless it is when the fruit tree is ripe, led by the elders of the family, other times trespassing will end miserably.

Moreover, the valley is very hidden, ordinary people can't find it at all, even if the elders of the clan lead it, they will blindfold it and not let them recognize the way out.

Jerome also went there once, and later investigated a lot of information, so he roughly analyzed the location of the valley.

It's just that after entering the valley that time, an unexpected thing happened, and the divine grace fruit was inexplicably missing, and it was not Jerome's turn, so he didn't awaken into a supernatural person.

He was disappointed at the time, but when he saw many of his cousins in the family, who couldn't do without blood after awakening their abilities, Jerome was secretly glad that he hadn't become such a monster.

But he knew in his heart that it was recorded in the family history that all the people who could not awaken to become supernatural could not live past the age of fifty, and they would be cursed to die.

This is also the reason why the number of Giovanni family members has always been too scarce for nearly a thousand years, because the fruit of the Divine Grace Fruit Tree has a number, and it only bears thirty-six fruits in thirty-six years, resulting in too few people in the Giovanni family who can awaken the ability.

Lu Yao just wanted the Xuanyang Grass, the companion spirit grass of the Spirit Fruit Tree, and he didn't have any idea about the Spirit Fruit Tree itself, he smiled and said: "The Spirit Fruit Tree is useless to me, and I have no grievances with your family, so I don't need to destroy it at all." ”

"What's more, if the Spirit Fruit Tree doesn't die, there will definitely be Xuanyang grass around it, and I can pick it from time to time when the time comes, why should I destroy it?" He just thought about it in his heart for a while, and didn't say it.

For the existence of Xuanyang grass, it is natural that the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Hearing his boss's assurance, even though Jerome couldn't believe that his assurances were valid, there was nothing else he could do.

He is almost forty years old this year, and he is only ten years away from the fifty years when the curse will occur, and he can't wait for the next ripening of the divine grace fruit.

What's more, he didn't plan to rely on the Divine Grace Fruit to awaken the ability and become the monster that needed to suck blood all day long to survive.

Jerome gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "There is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily in Italy, the name of the volcano is Mount Ertna, which is the highest active volcano in Europe. ”

"The Giovanni family has a vineyard at the foot of Mount Ertna, but the Grace Fruit Tree is not in the vineyard, but more than three hours away. ”

"It was a desolate valley with unbearable heat, lava running rampantly, and no one could get to it. Without a special guide, you can't find the entrance to the valley. ”

"I don't know exactly where the valley is, I just know that I have to pass through a cave guarded by many vampire bats, and ordinary creatures will suck their blood alive by countless bats if they trespass. ”

Jerome told Lu Yao everything he knew.
