Chapter 166: Finding a Way Out
The dragon tooth of the demon clan was imprisoned by a rank and roared there, he knew that this young human was not intentionally offended, but he was eager to instill his own point of view into himself, although Sean couldn't understand what the young man opposite was saying, but he knew that this young body hid a huge amount of wisdom energy, so he was able to read the Book of Jonah, so he could lead those unruly trolls, thinking of this, Sean was not so angry.

"Mr. Aragorn, I don't want the whole clan to be cursed by the gods, after all, it is difficult to remove the curse of the gods, but it is easier to remove the poison. I wonder if you have a solution?"
Liang Ke saw that Sean no longer insisted on his opinion, his heart was much more relaxed, he sat down again and said: "This land is full of lead mines, and the demons have been drinking water with extremely high lead content for many years, and poisoning is inevitable. It would have been better if I could neutralize some of it through other intakes, but I've seen the food sold in the market these days, and even the common foods such as eggs, lean meat, fish and shrimp are pitifully rare, let alone soybeans and soy products, which are effective in relieving the symptoms of poisoning. ”
If only these things that Aragorn said could save his people from bad luck, Sean knew that it would be difficult to do. The trees in the abyss are low and scarce, so they naturally do not breed birds, and the occasional needlework is not as long as a finger, and the eggs are smaller than chess pieces, making them inedible at all. The number of small beasts raised by farmers is so small that it can be compared to those needlework finches, the reason is simple, people have no food to eat, where is there surplus food to feed those slow-growing small beasts, and occasionally there are brave clansmen who will hunt the ferocious monsters on the other side of the volcano, but there are more casualties and less harvest. There is no shortage of water veins in the abyss, but there is no deep river, the shallow fish and shrimp are thin, and the skin and bones are removed, and the fresh meat that can be eaten is naturally pitiful.
The old man searched through his memories and didn't find a trace of information about beans, it seems that the abyss must not produce such a thing, Sean pinched his brows and asked Liang Ke.
"Is there any other good way for Mr. Aragorn?"
"Migration!" Liang Ke said categorically, "Only by leaving this polluted land can the demons get out of this situation." ”
Sean's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked suspiciously, "You suggest that we start a war again?"
Liang Ke was so frightened that he quickly shook his head like a rattle.
"A couple of failures have proven that it wasn't a good choice. My territory is too small to accommodate the population of the nobility, if you want to go deep into the continent, the human race will unite again to drive you back to the abyss, or even completely wipe out the demons, don't forget, when I left, the army of the empire had already entered my territory, and I heard that other troops of the coalition were also on their way. What's more, the demon's stomach can't digest those foods anymore. ”
Liang Ke peeked at Sean and saw that he couldn't help nodding, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I have learned from the mouths of the hunters that behind that volcano is a forest that is more extensive than here, and the land must be fertile if the plants are abundant, and in that kind of land, the farmers' harvest must be very good, if we can move there, we will solve the lead poison, and we can also get space for survival and development, killing two birds with one stone......"
Sean waved his hand, interrupting Liang Ke to continue.
"Although the demons are not as smart as humans, they are not all fools. As early as when our ancestors came here, they discovered the richness and vastness of the mountain, but at the same time, we also saw our own weakness. ”
He picked up the teacup and rotated it between his hands, as if he wanted to warm his cold hands with the hot cup of tea.
"The demons are not the natives of this land, behind that mountain, there are countless powerful demonic beasts, our warriors are vulnerable to their sharp minions and terrifying venom, and what is even more unbelievable is that these demonic beasts seem to have a strict hierarchy, they are subordinate to each other and stick to their territory. The brave demons have wanted to take over a piece of living space more than once, but the price they can pay is far more heavy than conquering the continent. ”
Liang Ke can feel the pain of blood dripping from Sean's heart, proud as a demon, but he was driven to the most barren land by the enemy, endured endless suffering, and couldn't turn over for a thousand years, as the great sage of the demon clan, he could only watch the clansmen struggle in pain, how could he be willing?
"Master Sean, I knew a little bit about the situation in that land before I came to you, but I was still curious about what kind of force changed the nature of animals to be the predator and give them the discipline of an army. So, tomorrow I want to see where I want to go. ”
Liang Ke's few words made Sean's dim eyes instantly return to clarity, he stared at Liang Ke for a long time, and then shook his head slightly and sighed: "That may cost you your life, is it worth it?"
"Hehehe! There is always some investment in doing business, but this time it seems to be more difficult to solve, and if you don't do it, you will lose money!"
"It's useless for you to ask for that godhead!"
"Friends are useful!"
"For the sake of friends? It's not worth it, it's not in line with your human habits. ”
Liang Ke said helplessly: "No way, who made friends so important to me." ”
Sean really can't understand the feelings of friends between human beings, in his mind, all the books record the treachery and deceit of human beings, especially those aristocratic lords, hugging at the dinner table and stabbing knives under the table are basically their code of conduct, the so-called friends are just fragile alliances under interests, and when it comes to life and death, they will step on the shoulders of their friends and jump out of the fire pit. Even in the demon clan that values love and righteousness, the feelings of friends are far from important enough to sacrifice their lives, Sean shook his head and stopped thinking about this problem.
"Our warriors have never been to the depths of that forest, so I can't tell what is there or how dangerous it is, but I will try to help you. Tell me, how many demon warriors do you need?"
Liang Ke laughed.
"Thank you for your support, but I'm not arrogant enough to lead an army to conquer them, I'm just trying to figure out why we can't get there, and if possible, I'll try to negotiate your living space, at the cost of the gold you have discarded in the cave, of course. So, this time I'll go alone and secretly. ”
Sean nodded approvingly, the demon clan is known for its fearlessness, and he didn't expect that this young man actually had indomitable blood flowing in his bones, which made Sean trust Liang Ke even more.
"You can make more promises if necessary. I've heard the story of you kidnapping the Prince of York from the orc camp alone, but this time the opponent is much tougher than the orcs, at least, the beast won't reason with you. ”
"I'll try to find someone who is reasonable. ”
The night of the abyss was as dark and gloomy as a lead mine in the distance, and the faint smell of sulfur filled the water, making it impossible to see beyond a step.
The tall Demon Emperor Dura stood in front of the window with his hands in his sleeves, his eyes looking at the endless darkness outside the window, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Ziano! Do you have a grudge in your heart?"
Standing five steps behind the Demon Emperor, the gray face of the Demon Ze twitched violently a few times, then bent down and said humbly: "Ziano will always be your most loyal supporter, and the decision of the Demon Emperor is my hope." ”
Demon Emperor Dura turned and sat back in the large chair.
"You still complain about me in your heart. ”
This time Ziano didn't speak, just lowered his head and took a step back.
"You think I'm taking revenge on you for retorting my decision? Hmph! Then you're underestimating my heart. Let Sean be the dragon's tooth, it's just that he's better suited than you, not for any other reason. If he hadn't insisted on accompanying that nephew, he would have done it a long time ago. ”
The former dragon tooth did not raise his head, still standing obediently in the distance without saying a word, the Demon Emperor saw that he did not want to continue the topic, picked up a report from the table and handed it to Ziano, and then asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
Once appointed as the first and auxiliary minister, of course, he will not be an incompetent person, Ziano glanced at ten lines, and quickly finished reading the report that Sean had just presented before dinner, and his face changed several times when he held the report in his hand.
"It's hard to believe that if that Aragorn is true, our medical officer should all be hanged. ”
"Actually, you already believe it, don't you? That's why I'm going to kill this human. ”
"Your Majesty means ......"
"This young man looks like a dark night in the abyss, which is inscrutable. His strength is not lost to the dragon, his martial arts can impress the Zhexian of the Du Lutai family, his wisdom can be compared to Jonah, the first wise man of mankind, his bravery is also impressive, and the terrifying weapons he has at his disposal and the staunch allies standing behind him, shouldn't such an enemy die early?"
The Demon Race has always believed in either friends or enemies, and has never believed in cowardly negotiations and transactions, and when the Demon Emperor Dura saw a foreign race beyond himself standing in front of him, his most direct reaction was to kill this guy. However, Ziano's proposal resonated with the aristocracy, and he had to make concessions, although he thought it might be a hidden danger.
Ziano lowered his head and remained silent, which can be regarded as an admission of mistake.
Now, this guy claims to have found the cause, but he hasn't been able to lift the curse, or the virus, as he boasted. Tell me, Ziano, what are we going to do with this alien who can't keep his promise?"
Ziano knew very well that the Demon Emperor said that he did not blame him, but he threw this tricky question to himself, if he did not answer well, he and his family might disappear from the history of the Demon Race. The old guy thought about it clearly, and said categorically: "Of course, it is treated according to His Majesty's ideas." ”
"However, my clan is known for its integrity, and as the Demon Emperor, how can I break my word?"
"It was Your Majesty who promised not to kill him, I didn't say it, then Ziano will share His Majesty's worries!"
