It shouldn't have been asked.

For the sake of a harmonious atmosphere between each other, Huai Shi knew that she should show indifference, no matter how curious she was.

But he just wanted to know......

Instead of going back and quietly checking secretly, why not find out directly in person?

If the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was not very pleasant before, then his words at the moment can be interpreted as 'not knowing how to lift', but since the communication is good, why not put the problems on the bright side?

He wasn't going to get involved.

Pure gossip.

The Sand King was silent for a moment, looking at Huai Shi's expression, as if trying to find any sign of repentance.

But in the end, I found that the young man in front of me was ...... Probably just out of curiosity.

In fact, he didn't care if Huai Shi would change his hexagram.

As the crowned one, he didn't care that he would have one more second-order enemy. Even if this enemy belongs to the Astronomical Society, he has all kinds of achievements and resumes.

He had been preparing for this for years, and he had paid a huge price for it, and he would not stop no matter who was in front of him.

Therefore, he does not intend to hide it either.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and drank the pre-dinner wine, waved his hand to refuse the waiter's service, and set the glass aside.

"The so-called golden amber is just a synonym.

Essentially, it is the skull of Demeter, a fifth-order Roman ascendant from the previous generation.

It was the Philosopher's Stone she had left behind. ”

The Sand King explained calmly.

Demeter, one of the main branches of the Roman lineage, the fifth-order stigmata of the Greek lineage, carries down the miracles of the gods of cultivation and harvest.

His position in the Roman lineage is like that of the Qing Emperor in the Eastern Xia lineage.

Big support and big logistics, for the entire lineage, there may be one or two fewer thugs, but such an existence will always be an indispensable member.

You must know that the miracles of the cultivation and harvest types, in addition to planting abyssal plants, often refer to some kind of special skill that can accelerate the growth of the sublimator.

It is said that as long as the Qingdi touches it, the growth years of all plants can be increased by a certain number of years out of thin air - and the number of years depends on the will of the Qingdi, and the upper limit is the age of the sublimator.

There is no consumption, it's like breathing.

In other words, the older the Blue Emperor is, the more terrifying the power of this stigma becomes. Even if not all herbs and plants are as old as possible, the range of applications is still terrifying.

The effect of Demeter's stigmata is not clear, but since it can be ranked with the Blue Emperor, its preciousness can naturally be imagined.

However, Huai Shi became more and more puzzled.

"Will the Roman lineage let it go?"

"Before her death, she returned the correction value accumulated by her ancestors to the Roman Palace. The Sand King replied, "And her body, according to her wishes, was processed into a stigmata relic." ”

He said, "A one-time consumable. ”

Huai Shi can't imagine the details, but she can still think of the complicated inside story and countless struggles and compromises behind it. It must not be a trivial matter for a fifth-order sublimator to be willing to pay for his remains.

After a pause, the Sand King sighed and said the most important message: "Its effect is to turn at least 300,000 square kilometers of land into fertile soil for successive harvests by consuming modifiers. ”

Huai Shi was stunned.

He vaguely guessed something, and because of that, it was a little hard to believe.

"Do you want to use it?" asked, "Or are you going to destroy it?"

"Destroying the hope of salvation with your own hands?"

The Sand King asked rhetorically: "Do I give the impression of that tyrannical and crazy careerist, Mr. Huaishi, will anyone hesitate to do so in order to consolidate his power?"

Because of this, Huai Shi is unbelievable.

The source of the correction value of the Sand King comes from this desert and the high-quality ore continuously excavated by countless miners......

It can be said that this crown is built on the pain of today's Australia.

If the desert can retreat an inch, then he will have less power, but if a man can find a way out, and no longer become a precarious miner, then he will have less power.

It can be said that if the Tsar King wants to use it, he is digging his own grave for his own kingdom.

"Why?" asked Huai Shi.

"Because I need it. ”

The Sand King replied calmly, "Because Australia needs it." ”

"—Is there anyone else here besides me who has enough modifiers to use this artifact?"

"So, it has to be me. ”

He said: "This sacrifice is inevitable. ”

Huai Shi fell silent.

He looked at the old man in front of him.

Suddenly, he understood why he didn't show his strength beyond ordinary people, didn't use violence, didn't use his extraordinary power and status, but was able to gain such a high popularity and so many crazy followers.

He did not see himself as a king.

Even if there is a solemn crown on the top of the head.

What is impressive and admired is not his strength, but the promises he made and the frank gesture he now shows.

Even if there may be a competitor in front of him, he will treat him with courtesy.

Even if he becomes an enemy in the future, he will not give up telling his vision and enlisting the support of the other party.

Even if they were compared to each other's true status, a second-order ascendant and a noble crowned person would be able to have dinner together at the same table.

Regardless of whether what he said was a lie or not, how sincere it was, but such a frank spirit really made Huai Shi feel awe.

He thought for a long time and asked, "Do you want to save Australia, Your Excellency?"

"That's not something I can do. ”

The Sand King shook his head: "Even if my modifiers are exhausted, the only thing that can be changed is the land around Canberra, right?" but I believe that even such a small change is enough for the dying Australia - for us, there is nothing more precious than hope." ”

"Aren't you afraid of other people's opposition?" asked Huai Shi, "As far as I know, mining exports are Australia's biggest source of income today, and countless people benefit from this process. ”

"But my companions and my children are suffering in the process. ”

The king said, "If anyone is against it, I will try to persuade him, and if anyone stands in the way, then I will kill him." None of this is worth mentioning compared to this hope. ”

"Even if there are your subordinates and former companions among those who oppose it?" asked Huai Shi.

"No, they stand with me. ”

The Sand King smiled proudly: "From the beginning, I never hid my purpose from them.

Mr. Huaishi, this is the promise I made to the previous generation of Sand Kings, as well as to my brothers, and my children, that the inheritance of Sand Kings will be cut off in my hands. ”

"I want to save our suffering motherland. ”

He stared out the window of the revolving restaurant, under the gray sky, beyond the city to the end of the line of sight, in the present-day yellow sand: "At least, I want to save my hometown, this land where there is no grass." ”

"Is that all?" asked Huai Shi.

"Maybe not more. ”

"I don't deny that," replied, "in some ways my purpose is not pure. But it's not a shame to want to be in power, is it? I want someone to be able to admire and thank me for what I've done, and you can't say it's ill-intentioned, right?"

"Definitely. ”

Huai Shi bowed his head and expressed his approval.

It's really cool to have someone thank you, and he doesn't have any position to refute...... Isn't that what the sublimator does to do good?

"So, I guess we can start our dinner. ”

The Sand King smiled.

What follows is a perfect dinner for both guests and hosts.

When the sand king said goodbye, Huai Shi sent the old man all the way to the car outside the hotel.

Before leaving, the sand king shook hands with Huai Shi very solemnly.

"From what I know, you're supposed to be a mountain ghost stigma, right?" he invited, "Would you like to be a part of this?"

"Excuse me. ”

Huai Shi smiled and shrugged: "Thank you for your hospitality, but I have a tight schedule." ”

The sand king bowed his head, "Then, forgive me for not being able to send it far, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"I will. ”

Huai Shi smiled, stood in place, watched the car go away, turned back to the hotel, pulled the bow tie that was in the way, and finally took a breath.

It's not good to talk to big guys.

Nervous easily.

Although there are a lot of polite words, the dialogue is still sincere and frank.

Almost, he was dragged into his great cause of transforming Australia by the Sand King......

"Really not tempted at all?" the crow stood on the chair with a smile, "If you get the golden amber, even for the young master, you can have a fairly strong buff." ”

"Of course I'm tempted. ”

Huai Shi shook her head, lay on the bed, and suddenly said: "There are so many good things in the world, it makes no sense that I am all alone, right?"

"Gave up?"

"Well, give up. Huai Shi bowed: "Although it is a little embarrassing to say, I was persuaded by him." Even if I get this thing, I'm afraid I'll hand it over to the local astronomical society and let them decide whether to help the Sand King or not, right?"

"The local Astronomical Society will not necessarily abandon its neutral stance. ”

"Then stay neutral. Huai Shi shook her head: "At least you don't have to worry about them doing bad things, right?"

"You're really open. ”

"It's just that I know how many pounds and taels I have. Huai Shi stretched out her hand, pulled out the sword of virtue from her saddle bag, looked at the broken blade, and stroked the gap on it: "If I have gained a little bit these days, it is probably fear." ”

"Scared?"

"It's not a shame to be afraid, is it?" said Huaishi, "I just don't want to put too much of it on luck." ”

"Grown, Huaishi. ”

"Thank you for it. ”

Crow Tian laughed shamelessly: "Then you have to thank me well." ”

"yes. ”

Huai Shi closed her eyes tiredly: "I can't wait to thank you for eight lifetimes......"

"There's no need to be so exaggerated, a lifetime is enough. ”

Before falling asleep, hearing such words in her ears, Huai Shi couldn't help laughing.

Fall asleep.
