Chapter 278: Spoils of War
Stannis had begun to sob, not because of joy, but because his aching body, which had exhausted the power of destruction again, could no longer bear the enthusiastic embrace, and even his bones began to rattle like a skeleton in pain.
"Don't push hard! you're going to crush your bones!" Stannis shouted, indicating that his body could no longer accept this form of celebration.
The trio had given up torturing their lord, and although they had thought that this shit luck guy would survive, they didn't expect him to be so intact, knowing that the tornado of ice and fire they had seen in the early hours of the morning was powerful enough to completely destroy a small town.
Maybe he really is the chosen one who has come to replace Stannis to save the world!" Somone Romon thought and asked with concern, "Your Excellency, where is the Divine Seal?"
Stannis struggled to raise his finger and pointed behind him, "No, that's it, now it's a piece of powder." ”
"This ...... Just?" Monk Romon looked a little incredulous, for the powerful force that could impress even his old friend Vincent could be destroyed like this.
"Why, are you suspicious of your lord?"
Master Luo Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said solemnly, "Of course not, it's just that I'm curious about how you defeated it?"
Stannis opened his mouth and pointed inside, "It's my dragon's roar, and now I've developed two new abilities, elemental breath, and I'll show you when I have time." ”
The old man finally nodded convincingly, if it was the pure elemental power used, the dragon's roar could indeed destroy everything, as an elemental envoy, of course he knew that the elemental power created artificially was far from the power of the dragon's roar's breath.
"Alright, alright, old man, you're still struggling with this after the battle is over, I'm really going to get angry!"
Stannis said a little anxiously, he was afraid that the old man in front of him would ask if he continued to ask, and he would not be able to tell him what Sasha was in his body now.
Bachelor Romon didn't ask any more questions, but Robert jumped up curiously, he didn't expect that the guy who made such a horror would die so thoroughly, turning into a pile of powder that no one could recognize, but he really couldn't see the scenery of his life.
He drew his sword and stabbed it twice, but when he noticed something unusual, he called Korodov to come and help.
When the two of them dug up all the powder, they found a withered corpse inside, like a humanoid creature. The corpse seemed to have been specially dried, and the flesh under the skin had long since been removed, leaving only a thin layer of skin stuck to the bone.
Robert carefully carried the corpse in front of Stannis, the lord did not expect that he had been fighting with this kind of thing, it had shown so much strength before, but the flesh was so weak, no wonder it was so eager to obtain a healthy and strong body. The Creator is truly humorous, giving it so much power, yet trapping it in this decaying shell, forming a strong black humor.
Maester Romon also looked through the corpse with interest, he had never seen such a creature before in his memory, its face looked very human, but its nose and ears had been gouged out, and its open eyes had long since been dull, emitting an unpleasant gold, like the vertical pupils of a snake.
The physical body looks like it's been dead for a long time, but it's still able to manipulate everything with its own mind in the Divine Seal.
"What an ugly monster, pack it up and take it home, I'm going to use it to decorate my collection. Stannis said calmly, after so many experiences, he is now able to change roughly without being surprised, and will not be moved no matter what happens.
"Looks like there's something down there!" Korodov suddenly shouted again.
Robert immediately ran over to hear this, and then both of them let out exclamations.
"What's the matter, can you be a little stylish, shouting all day long, can't you learn more like me? I just saved the world!
Stannis taught his little brother a lesson without changing his face.
But then, Robert and Korodov lifted a large heavy box from underneath, which seemed to contain what made them exclaim.
"Boss, it's gold! it's all gold!"
Robert shouted excitedly, he had never seen so much gold since he was born.
"What's so exciting about gold? You didn't hear your Excellency say that you should keep a peaceful heart no matter what comes your way!, right, Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"
As soon as Master Romon finished speaking, he noticed that Stannis, who was still beside him, had disappeared, and then he saw the lord crawling towards the gold like a human wriggling essence.
Although there is no place in the whole body that does not hurt, but Stannis, who heard the gold, can't care so much, even if he dies, he has to look at the chest full of gold before he dies, and he has long forgotten what nonsense to keep calm.
Finally, he squirmed to the side of the chest, and then climbed up the wall like a spineless snail, and when he finally climbed to the top of the chest, which was half a man high, he found that it was indeed full of gold, although it was old and engraved with the image of the long-lost kingdom, but gold was the most popular everywhere.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Shenyin to look like he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and it turns out that he has hidden so much gold in private!" Stannis couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't figure out why it was still holding these 'shiny gadgets' since its goal was to destroy the world?
Master Romon circled the box, then nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is the legacy of the extinct ancient kingdom of Hecobi, and each gold coin contains enough gold, one can be worth three gold coins of Erathia! I guess there are two thousand gold coins in this box." ”
"Isn't that 6,000!" Stannis was about to be overjoyed, he didn't expect that after this battle, he would not only earn back all the military expenses, but even make a small profit.
"That's many!" said Korodov in surprise, and then he ignored Robert's gaze and said, "There are nine other chests like this one down there." ”
Robert on the side was already mad with pleasure, and he originally wanted to secretly intercept a little more.
“10...... 10 boxes, isn't that...... 60,000 gold. ”
After saying the last sentence, the exhausted and overexcited Stannis fainted, this time there was more loot than his ancestors had seen in the gold!
