Chapter 403: The City of Jewels (Part II)
Of course, in the end, Ulysses still didn't really sell the little thing called Rococo. Looking at the pitiful eyes of the little thing, he finally chose to dodge in an instant, and disappeared into the street with the little thing before everyone had time to react.
"I didn't expect you to be so valuable, when you have no money to use, sell you, and the money will roll in......" Ulysses flicked the little guy's soft cheek with his finger, this cheek can be sold for a city price with a single touch, and it is much more valuable than any peerless beauty.
"Mound!" the little guy who was betrayed by Ulysses angrily pointed his ass at Ulysses, apparently ignoring him for the time being. But even so, it didn't leave Ulysses' shoulder, and it was clear that Ulysses was more attracted to it than the bad event just now.
"By the way, what gender are you, male or female. Ulysses lifted the little one's tail and tried to figure it out.
"Hill beep!" the little guy's whole body turned a lovely pink, and for the first time he struggled desperately in the hands of Ulysses. Unfortunately, this little resistance could not organize Ulysses' bad behavior, and Ulysses soon looked at the whole body of this little thing.
Unfortunately, even after looking at the whole body of the little one, Ulysses still couldn't figure out whether the little thing called Rococo was male or female, because there was no part related to gender at all.
Not to mention the ability to distinguish gender characteristics, this little guy called Rococo doesn't even have excretory holes, as if this creature doesn't need to eat to stay alive.
However, Ulysses soon learned why the beautiful gem maidens had just paid him the precious gems as a price.
Because this cute little thing actually gnaws gems. He just randomly put the gems in the palm of his hand and played with them, and the little guy jumped directly into his palm, then picked up the most beautiful one and jumped back on his shoulder.
Then Ulysses saw how a gem worth a city could be eaten cleanly by this cute little creature. Even the big-stomached king Mina in the apostle's group who has no bottom limit is definitely not as good as this little guy.
That gem is used to buy food, even if it is all high-end barbecue, it is enough to pile up several giant mountains of meat!
After eating, the little one politely wiped his mouth - with Ulysses' clothes.
"Hey, I can't afford to support you like this. Looking at the unfinished Rococo, Ulysses sighed and brought a few more gems to his mouth.
It is clear how much Ulysses these gems are worth, even in the collection of the Heroic King Yuke. But since these gems were earned by accident by this little guy, he would give them to him even if they were expensive, because they were meant to belong to him.
To Ulysses' surprise, the little one did not eat the gems, but wagged his tail and quietly hid in his arms, and then began to fall asleep.
It doesn't seem to have a big appetite, and it's quite picky about the gems it wants to eat, and it's not of high quality enough to look at. Moreover, even after looking at the ice gem on Ulysses' shoulder many times, it did not really bite into it, but obediently endured it all the time. At that time, Ulysses did not know that it liked to eat gems, and there was a good chance that it would steal them.
"What a strange little fellow, Rococo ......" Although it was the first time to come into contact with such a wonderful magical creature, because it was very well-behaved, Ulysses did not mind bringing this little thing with him on this expedition.
Over the next few days, Ulysses came out day and night, and received a lot of news in this gem city, and finally got some general idea of this faraway place.
Legend has it that this world was created by a pair of twin goddesses and a golden-red sacred beast, called the Far Away Land, which means the homeland of all things, a distant land away from this world.
The elder sister of the twin sons rules the day, she is the sun, shining on all things, giving all things brilliance and hope.
The younger sister of the twins controls the night, she is the moon, giving birth to gems and giving rest to life here.
The ancient Divine Beast is responsible for the rest of the life in this world, bringing infinite vitality.
A long time ago, the ancient mythical beasts left this world, leaving only the goddesses of the twins to perfect and complement this world. Although the two have worked very hard, there are still many deficiencies in this world.
Because, the world lacks "stars". Missing a companion who can accompany both the sun and the moon. A world with only the sun and moon is incomplete, and it is impossible to give birth to a race with true intelligence.
Eventually, the maidens with gems on their foreheads were born from a sea full of gems at the moment when the sun and the moon met, and became new life in this distant land.
The gems are their lives, incomplete fragments of stars. Because of their birth, the world is truly close to being complete, a world truly full of life and laughter.
For the maidens born from the sea of gems, gems are unique and equal to them. Therefore, the girls in this world love gems infinitely, and as long as they live in a place, they must be dotted with gems everywhere.
When they die, they are transformed back into gems and sent back to the Sea of Gems by their own people, the birthplace of their mother, the source of life in this world.
In order to create these beautiful gem maidens, the twin goddesses exhausted all their power and fell into a long slumber, where legend has it that they slept at the bottom of the sea of gems.
Then every once in a while, a special festival is held here, and no one knows what the origin of the festival is, and it seems that it was a custom that began when the twin goddesses were still alive, and everyone here has long been accustomed to it.
During the festival, this is the only time in this world where a battle takes place, and special warriors with a black aura wrapped in black will come from the barren land of steel at the call of the jewel girls to fight for their own wishes.
The victor will receive the precious gems that have been bred from the sea of gems, while the loser will lose the warriors he has summoned. As for where the defeated fighters ended up, no one knows.
The warrior who has won all the way to the end is said to be able to make a wish to the sleeping twin goddesses. No one knows what kind of wish it was, except that after every war, no one ever saw a warrior emerge who had won the final victory.
This is the only war in this world, the Gem Wars.
