Chapter 591: Excitement and Weakness

Everyone unconsciously turned around when they heard Arria's voice, only to see Aria sitting by the fire when she got closer, glancing around at everyone.

"This annoying guy is right, I am the princess of Wuhai Kingdom, I was originally going to Yulong Pass with the caravan of Wuhai Kingdom, but I was caught by him as soon as I got there.

"As for the grievances between our Wuhai Kingdom and the White Night Kingdom, I don't know how far back it is, anyway, it was rumored a long time ago that the entire Western Regions Desert was the home of the desert goddess.

"Later, I don't know why the goddess of the desert left here, and before leaving, she shed a tear, which we people in the Western Regions call it 'the tears of the goddess of the desert', and I heard that it is a crystal clear, bead shaped like a teardrop.

"I don't know when there were rumors that whoever got this bead would become the lord of the desert and manage it instead of the desert goddess, so every kingdom established in the desert over the centuries was looking for this bead.

"Because by obtaining this bead, you can claim to be the master of this desert, and you have a reason to rule the entire desert, so for this hundreds of years the kingdoms have tried their best to find this pearl.

"Two hundred years ago, our ancestors buried a shocking treasure somewhere in Wuhai Kingdom, and legend has it that the treasure included the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', although it was just a rumor, it was taken seriously by many people.

"Therefore, in order to get the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', there are always people who keep sneaking into our Wuhai Kingdom to find this treasure, and for so many years, the White Night Country has been competing with the Wuhai Kingdom for the legitimacy of this desert.

"They claimed that the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' originally belonged to the White Night Country, and was stolen by our ancestors of the Wuhai Kingdom, and for this reason, our two kingdoms argued endlessly, and the result was that the dispute became more and more fierce, and the relationship has become worse and worse in the last two hundred years, and now it has reached the point of mutual hostility.

"Because of the existence of the legend of that treasure, the White Night Kingdom has always believed that the royal family of our Wuhai Kingdom hid the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', and they will send envoys to our Wuhai Kingdom several times a year to ask for it.

"But even we don't know where it is, or where the treasure was buried, and even if we did, we wouldn't have given it to them! Over the years, they have tried their best to force me to hand over the beads.

"This time, I should have heard that I would pass through the White Night Country, and they wanted to capture me and threaten my Atta in exchange for the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', but they didn't know that even if they captured me, it would be useless, and I Atta didn't have that bead in his hand at all."

Arya's words made everyone stunned, and everyone felt ridiculous in their hearts, there is such a thing in the world, a bead can determine the ownership of the entire desert? It's a joke!

Speaking of which, the "tears of the desert goddess" is just like the wolf totem of the northern steppe, but it is just a symbolic symbol.

If you can really rule this desert with a single bead, there has been a fart between the kingdoms for so many years! Let's just look for the beads together.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a reason, when the bead is not found, everyone condemns each other on the grounds of the whereabouts of the bead, and takes the opportunity to go to war and seize the benefits from the hostile country.

If you really find the bead, you will fight because of the ownership of the bead.

The so-called legitimacy is nothing more than a high-sounding excuse that the rulers of various countries have found for themselves in order to annex the surrounding countries.

In the final analysis, the contradiction between the Wuhai Kingdom and the White Night Country is not because of the so-called "Tears of the Desert Goddess", it is completely because the White Night Country covets the vast territory of the Wuhai Country, and it is all over the country's oases and lakes.

With so much fertile water and grass in the desert, it will naturally arouse the greed of the surrounding countries and seek opportunities to start wars.

Everything is just for their own interests, there is nothing orthodox or unorthodox at all, and the real purpose is not just for a bead.

The fundamental purpose of the White Night Kingdom to kidnap Alia this time is actually to take Princess Alia hostage and force the king of Wuhai Kingdom, Mejid, to exchange land.

The so-called "tears of the desert goddess" are nothing more than a common excuse used by all countries to start wars, and this excuse is recognized by everyone.

When Shao Xi heard Alia talk about the "Tears of the Desert Goddess", he couldn't help but think of the "Fairy Tears" in his pocket.

Could these two things be the same thing? Listening to Arria's description, it feels like the two things should be similar in appearance.

"Princess Alia, has anyone ever seen the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' that you are talking about? Or has anyone known or heard of what it looks like?

"It's too general to just say that it looks like a teardrop, there are countless teardrop-like gems in the sky, how to determine which one is the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess'?"

Shao Xi's question also aroused the interest of everyone present.

Indeed, as Shao Xi said, there are so many gems that look like teardrops in this world, someone can't just take one out and say it's "Tears of the Desert Goddess", right?

At least there should be something different to distinguish it from other gemstones, otherwise in the Western Regions, a land rich in gemstones, wouldn't anyone be able to hold the teardrop-shaped gemstone in their hand and say that it is "the tears of the desert goddess"?

Alia seemed to have expected someone to ask such a question, so when Shao Xi's question had just been asked, Alia gave the answer.

"There have been many people who have come out with a gemstone shaped like a teardrop and claim to have obtained the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', but many people do not know that the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' has a characteristic that many gemstones do not have.

"Listen to me, Atta, 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' got its name because it is really as round and translucent as a tear, crystal shiny, with a slender tail trailing behind it, which looks like a teardrop that has just dropped.

"And because it is the tears of the goddess, it becomes incomparably hard after leaving the eyes of the goddess, and no matter how you use it, you can't break it."

When Shao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but secretly pat his thigh, didn't he let himself get it?

This so-called "Tears of the Desert Goddess" is the same thing as the "Tears of the Fairy" in her own pocket.

Shao Xixin said, I have a lot of this thing! Even the sales and gifts have been tossed out a lot, and there are still two in the bag at this moment!

What you people in the Western Regions are looking for are two rapidly cooling glass beads, do you know that this thing is called "Rupert's Tears" in the West, which is further west than you?

Although he had figured out what this thing was in his heart, Shao Xi couldn't just say that he had this thing in front of so many people.

Let's not talk about whether it will surprise everyone, just the obsession of these people in the Western Regions with this thing, if they know that they have this thing on their bodies, it is estimated that the bounty hunters in the entire Western Regions will be eyeing them.

Isn't that nothing to do and get yourself in trouble? Let's keep a low profile first.

However, when Shao Xi knew that the two "fairy tears" on his body had become priceless treasures in the Western Regions, he couldn't help but be excited for a while.

Isn't this getting rich? These two "fairy tears" can no longer be described as priceless alone.

If you take this thing and have a good chat with the kings of Wuhai Kingdom and White Night Kingdom, not to mention gold and silver treasures, jade and agate, it is estimated that they will let them exchange their wives, and they will not hesitate to agree.

These kings all have an incomprehensible obsession with land and so-called hegemony, and this symbol of legitimacy is almost like their own life in their eyes.

During the Three Kingdoms period, wasn't it just a group of princes staring at a jade seal that had been handed down to the country?

Unexpectedly, the glass beads that he made in batches at the beginning now have such value, which makes Shao Xi not calm.

Shao Xi's mental abacus was "crackling" at this time, and it was estimated that even Xiao Changyi, who was far away in Kyoto, could hear it.

When Shao Xi was secretly happy in his heart, he looked up and saw Lao Wu looking at him.

I saw Lao Wu's two sparse eyebrows jumping around, obviously pinching Xiao Jiujiu like Shao Xi in his heart.

It is estimated that this old guy will also have mountains of gold and silver in front of him at this time, and a table full of wine and delicacies.

Shao Xi raised his chin and rolled his eyes to the sky, which meant "You old guy don't come to beat my idea".

When Lao Wu saw Shao Xi's expression, his old face suddenly collapsed, as if Shao Xi owed him eight hundred dollars.

"That ......, little girl, did your father tell you how much you would be paid if someone helped you find this 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' in Wuhai Kingdom?"

Alia blinked a pair of beautiful big eyes, and the light of the bonfire kept beating in her eyes, as if Lao Wu's words suddenly ignited the hope in her heart, and the whole person looked excited.

"Senior, do you have a way to help me find the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess'? If you can find it, I, Atta, will thank you heavily.

"I, Atta, once said that if the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' are really buried somewhere in the Kingdom of Wuhai along with the treasure of our royal family, if anyone can find it, as long as they are willing to give us the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess', all the other wealth in the treasure will be given as a reward.

"I don't know how much that treasure is, but the treasure buried by our ancestors two hundred years ago must be an amazing wealth, I heard that with this treasure in hand, you can build a small country of your own in the Western Regions, I don't know if it's true?"

As soon as Lao Hu heard this, he was dripping down, this is not a metaphor, but Lao Wu really let Halazi flow out of the corners of his mouth.

The eyes of the two were as round as copper coins, their mouths were full of big yellow teeth, and their mouths were smiling like ingots.

This old guy has been a thief all his life, and what he loves most is money, and now that he heard that there is such a big fortune at his fingertips, the whole person can't sit still as if he has been pricked by a needle, and he squeezes his eyebrows at Shao Xi vigorously.

was so angry that Shao Xi almost threw another handful of sand over.

The heart said, you old thing is really interested in getting rich, so you can't sit still? If you really find that treasure, you won't have to be sucked for fun?

After Shao Xi glared at Lao Wu fiercely, he turned his head and ignored him, but continued to ask Arria, "Regarding the royal treasures of your Wuhai Kingdom, I also heard about it before I came.

"I just don't know if this treasure is real, or if it's just a legend? After all, no one has ever found any clues for so many years.

"I think the royal family of Wuhai Country should know best about this matter, it's rare to know you with the princess, I don't know, can you tell me?"

Although Alia wore a veil on her face, she could still tell that she had a bright and proud smile on her face.

"My ancestors were the real overlords of this desert many years ago, at that time there were not so many small countries in the desert, the territory of Wuhai Country was extremely vast, and some small tribal countries around it were also subjugated to our Wuhai Country.

"So at that time, our ancestors accumulated a lot of wealth, and the national strength was strong for a while, but more than 200 years ago, due to external wars and internal power struggles, the national strength declined seriously.

"My ancestors saw that the general trend was gone, and they also knew that their hegemony in the Western Desert was no longer stable, so in order to prevent the Wuhai Kingdom from encountering a catastrophe in the future, they buried all the most valuable treasures of the royal family.

"If the country of Wuhai is really destroyed in the future, future generations can also rely on this wealth to rebuild the country, in order to restore the glory of the past in the future.

"This incident is recorded in the royal family of our Wuhai Kingdom, which proves that this matter is not false, but real, but for more than two hundred years, every generation of kings has kept in mind the instructions of their ancestors, and they should not look for this treasure until they are in danger.

"But who would have thought that more than twenty years ago, the treasure map was stolen from the palace, and I, Atta, have been trying to find a way to retrieve the treasure map for more than twenty years.

"More than twenty years have passed, the treasure map has no whereabouts, and I haven't heard of anyone finding that treasure, and now even I, Atta, are beginning to wonder if this treasure really exists?"

Hearing this, Shao Xi glanced at Lao Wu with his eyes, Lao Wu grinned at Shao Xi, and then shook his head and pretended to be fine.

Holding his deformed silver flask, he "gurgling" and pouring wine, and occasionally glancing at Alia out of the corner of his eye.

What is a thief's heart? This is called a thief's heart.

Although the treasure map was not stolen by Lao Wu, it was stolen by his junior brother!

So at this moment, Lao Wu seemed to have done something immoral, and he didn't know where the excitement just now had gone?

Shao Xi pursed the corners of his mouth and squinted at Lao Wu, and patted his shoulder bag intentionally or unintentionally, reminding Lao Wu that the treasure map was now in his shoulder bag.

Lao Wu drank half of the wine and almost spewed out, if this stinky boy took out the treasure map at this time, it is estimated that he would have to dig a sand pit with his hands on the spot and bury himself.

He had just asked Alia what the reward for finding the treasure was, and if it was known that the person who stole the treasure map was his junior brother, it would be tantamount to throwing his old face to the ground, and a group of people stomped on it with their feet.

It's not a shame, I don't know who did it when I was chopped up and fed to the dog!
