Chapter 24: "The Fruit of the Person: The Phantom Beast Species"
When the three of them had eaten almost enough, Tonino Caro waved his hand, and the servant who was waiting by the side immediately stepped forward and brought down the cutlery and plates.
After the servant left the room, Tonino Caro looked at Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey and spoke.
"Okay, now let's talk about what you've done underground and how you solved this ant plague."
Speaking of the underground experience, Tonino Harvey was much more excited, and was the first to talk about his experience of going to the mine with Chi Yao.
"My second brother and I chose to go down to the mines with Team Johns, and then we encountered all kinds of underground creatures."
Tonino Harvey mainly talked about the specific experiences of the people, while Ji Yao spoke from time to time to give details to add.
Tonino Harvey said that most of the credit is attributed to Chi Yao, and Chi Yao will not refute it, but now it seems that he is weak in his heart to refute it in person.
"Thanks to the second brother's guidance, we have taken a lot of shortcuts and made it a lot easier."
So Chi Yao chose to find another way, since Tonino Harvey praised himself and wanted to throw the credit to himself, then he would praise Tonino Harvey in turn and throw the credit back.
"Big Brother is also very important, if it weren't for Big Brother's sonic attack that paralyzed those fiery red ants, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so intact."
In this way, Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey seemed to be "arguing", praising each other and pushing each other's credit, as if the credit had become a big problem.
Tonino Caro bowed his head slightly, listening to the two of them with interest, and his attitude was somewhat intriguing.
When the "argument" between Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey had just come to an end, Tonino Caro looked at Chi Yao and suddenly spoke.
"Gray Yao, I want to ask what your abilities are? Based on the information I've gotten and what you've just said, what you're eating isn't an ordinary natural Devil Fruit, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Tonino Harvey couldn't help but look at Chi Yao, he was quite curious about Chi Yao's ability, but he kept holding back his desire to ask.
"That's right, second brother, I've been curious for a long time, and now that the matter is settled, you should say it, right?"
Ji Yao showed an embarrassed look, showed a wry smile, and said helplessly.
"Since my father and eldest brother have asked like this, then I will be ugly."
"The name of the Devil Fruit I ate is: Human Fruit, Phantom Beast Seed, Child of Nature form."
"After eating it, I can use the forces of nature, such as wind, thunder, earth, etc., but I can only use no more than three at the same time."
"To some extent, the performance of this fruit is indeed very similar to that of nature, so I deliberately only used the ability of thunder and lightning when I traveled overseas."
Hearing the explanation of the phantom beast species and Chi Yao, Tonino Caro's face couldn't help but change, and he looked at Chi Yao and continued to ask.
"Where did you get this Devil Fruit?"
Ji Yao looked at Tonino Caro, always paying attention to the other party's expression, and said his answer.
"I found this Devil Fruit together in the ancient ruins of that Great Passage."
Tonino Caro nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.
"The ancient ruins?"
Tonino Caro looked at Chi Yao's calm and calm expression, and didn't care about his questioning, looking frank and confident.
Tonino Caro nodded, and instead of continuing to ask, he said.
"So be it, Grey Shine you have a day's rest. Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to send you to the World Government. ”
"Harvey, you take Gray Yao to the Lieyang No. 2 warehouse to select the items you need and the high-quality Yuanyang Stone, and the share has been given to you."
Although Tonino Harvey was surprised, seeing Chi Yao and Tonino Caro's calm expressions, it seemed that they had agreed a long time ago, and he knew that he couldn't change the decision of the two.
Tonino Harvey said that there wasn't much he could do, but it wasn't a big problem to help his brother a little.
"No problem, second brother, wait for Yuanyang Stone to take as much as you want!"
Tonino Caro did not say anything to stop it, apparently acquiescing to Tonino Harvey's statement.
Then Tonino Carlo stood up, his tone a little colder, revealing a downright murderous intent.
"Harvey, I'll help you deal with Team Johns, they know too much."
"Subsequently, the No. 6 ore vein will be developed underground in batches, and those special areas will be blocked and prohibited from ordinary people from entering."
Tonino Harvey couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes a little confused.
"Father, you."
Tonino Caro was firm and finally spoke.
"Harvey, as a king, you need to be 'determined' enough, and you need to behave enough to convince the public. Their performance is enough to be a death penalty. ”
Tonino Harvey glanced at Chi Yao and Tonino Caro with a complicated expression, and nodded.
"Father, I understand, thank you for your teachings."
After Tonino Caro left the room, looking out the window from the sea of clouds, Tonino Harvey was a little melancholy, and he said to Chi Yao.
"Second brother, in fact, I envy you for pursuing your dreams. I don't want to be this king, but as the eldest son, I have my own responsibilities. ”
Chi Yao nodded slightly, and comforted Tonino Harvey, who sincerely regarded himself as his younger brother.
"Big brother, my father's decision is also for our sake, whether it is our ability or the situation in the depths of the leylines, if it is exposed, it will have a very bad impact on the kingdom."
Tonino Harvey groaned, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand, it's a choice, and I have to choose the one who is more important than the big picture."
Seeing that Tonino Harvey was almost thinking about it, Chi Yao took the opportunity to turn the topic in other directions.
After discussing, Ji Yao took a look at the rewards he had received.
[The Hunter has completed the Minor Special Story Event (Underground Mystery) and has received the following rewards.] 】
You gain 26.2% of the Source of the World. 】
[You have obtained Soul Crystals (M) x3.] 】
[You have obtained 5,000 contribution points from the "Kingdom of Tyria", and you have opened the Kingdom of Tyria's faction shop. 】
You have activated the "Ancient Civilizations" faction (this is the hidden faction) and you have become the leader of this faction. 】
[Hint: Hunters can choose to hide their identity as the Ancient Civilization faction and continue to join other factions.] 】
The rewards for this story event are quite good, and most of the Origin of the World is obtained by exploring ancient ruins, knowing the truth about history, and three soul crystals (medium).
What's more, he triggered a world-level hidden quest for Chi Yao, and also obtained the status of the leader of the ancient civilization of the hidden camp.
As for the contribution value, it is a necessity for Chi Yao to exchange for Yuanyang Stone in the future.
The first update.
