Chapter Ninety-Eight: I Want the Seed of the World Tree
"Dead, how?" asked Barry.
"I killed you. Ben replied softly. He also knew that this answer was too hard to believe, but it was true.
"You kid, I knew you were very powerful. Barry didn't ask Stupid how to kill that Frankie, everyone has their own secrets, especially the means to save their lives, and naturally the less people know about it, the better. Barry is old and fine, so naturally he doesn't want to know other people's secrets.
After a pause, Barry said, "The Merit Exchange Club is indeed a spy who sold information about you to the werewolves. So the werewolf knows who you are, and knows which tribes you have taken...... However, these two spies have been dealt with, and no one will sell us any more information now. ”
"Thank you Grandpa Barry, thank you for caring so much about me. "Stupid to say.
"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do. Both spies are human, and we fox people will not betray our own race. In the future, you should be careful when you encounter humans. Humans are the most capricious. Barry said, apparently, he had taken Stupid for an orc of the Kitsune clan.
"Yes, Grandpa Barry. Is Archie alright? I got a staff from the werewolf Saint Rank master and wanted to give it to him. Stupid said.
"Archie is naturally very good, but he always feels bored, this kid...... The heart is always restless. If you want to see him, you can only go back to the imperial capital, and it is impossible for him to come to the front line. Neither Lord Douglas, nor the King of the Empire, would allow it. Barry said, with a little pride on his face.
Yes, Archie is his grandson, this grandson has formed a partnership with the beast soul of the nine-tailed sky fox, the protector of the fox clan, and his long-term wish has finally been fulfilled, as long as Archie is mentioned, he is full of satisfaction.
"I'm going to return to the Imperial Capital in the near future. Take a break and relax by the way. Ben replied that he was indeed going to go back to the imperial capital. Nothing else, just to meet Archie and Barnaby.
After a few more days of rest, Dumb went back to Cantray. Back in Cantrey, Stupid gave Archie the cane. Archie was naturally very happy, even the bone frame, seeing stupidity, the soul fire jumped faster.
After relaxing in Cantrey for a while, Ben went on to the front.
For the next year and a half, Stupid has been on the front line, assassinating the werewolf sacrifice. In the end, he finally gathered all 5,000 points. Can be exchanged for World Tree seeds.
The war has been going on for two years, and the fox clan has the blessing of the nine-tailed sky fox, and it is advancing very smoothly. The current town of Sanshan is no longer considered a frontline.
But the Hunter's Tavern in Sanshan Town is still very lively, and many members of the assassination team will come here to rest, relax, and party.
Back in Sanshan Town, Ben first walked into the Hunter's Tavern, asked for a glass of ale, and sat in the corner and drank it.
Stupid is fifteen years old. Today, he doesn't wear a mask, but he has been running around all year round, and his face has taken on some vicissitudes, and he will never look immature anymore.
I smiled stupidly, I didn't expect to meet familiar people. At the table next to Stupid sat Gavin and Gerry, who had been talking about stupidity a year and a half ago. The war has been going on for so long, and they haven't fallen, and it feels good that everything looks fine.
The war goes on, and you never know who will fall tomorrow and who will stay. It's a surprise to be able to see that former acquaintances are still there.
"Gerry, haven't you been on a mission lately? I don't know what you're thinking. Gavin, who was freckled in his face, said.
"Gavin, I feel like the war is coming to an end. So I don't want to go to the front lately. I suddenly felt a little tired of the war. "I heard that the man has already earned five thousand points. That's amazing. I'm only over 300 points now. ”
"Gerry, when you hear that man, my ears are calloused. Others are great, but what does it have to do with us?" said Gavin, seemingly uninterested in Gerry's topic.
"It doesn't matter, he is of the same race as us, they are all fox people, we should be proud, proud that we fox people have such heroes. We should also be glad that he is our fox people, not werewolves. We should also be glad that we have such companions. Gerry seemed very unhappy with Gavin's attitude.
"I heard that his name is Ben Hill, and he is of royal blood. Really?" Gavin sensed Gerry's displeasure and opened the conversation.
"Yes. It is said that the royal blood in his body is more pure than that of the royal family. Gerry took a sip of his wine and said.
"Actually, Gerry, I admire him a lot, and I often think that it would be nice to be able to meet him. However, it is said that he often haunts Sanshan Town, but we have not seen him once, which is a pity. And you said that the war was coming to an end, and I felt like that. I heard that the front line had stopped advancing. The werewolves were beaten to the point that they probably didn't have the strength to counterattack for decades. Gavin said.
"I've heard that many people have seen him, but why aren't we so lucky to meet him?" said Gerry.
At this moment, the maid brought two large glasses of ale and placed them on Gerry and Gavin's table.
"We didn't order any more ale. Gavin said.
"The gentleman over there invited you to drink. The maid pointed at the stupid. Stupid raised his glass to Gavin and Gerry.
Seeing the stupid look, the age, and the connection to the person they thought. Gerry and Gavin's hearts jumped uncontrollably.
Gerry and Gavin walked up to Stupid with their glasses, "Are you Stupid Hill? It is said that in this war, you are the youngest member of the assassination squad and the member with the highest merit points. Gerry said incoherently.
Clumsy smiled, "I'm Cill. Nice to meet you guys. ”
Gavin began to get excited, "I didn't expect to see you, I'm so happy to see you." I heard that your merit points have reached 5,000, right? Is it true?"
Stupid continued to smile, "Yes, just five thousand. I'm just going to exchange things this time. ”
Ben then had some drinks with the two of his admirers, and then left the tavern drunk.
When he left the tavern, he clumsily used Yuan Li, and forced the wine out of his body, and his mind immediately cleared up.
Approaching the merit exchange club, two women immediately received him. Ben has been here many times, taking information about werewolf sacrifices, and they naturally know Ben.
"I want to exchange merit for something. Stupid said.
"What would you like to exchange?" asked one of the women.
"Seeds of the World Tree. Stupid replied.
Hearing Ben say this, the two women were shocked, "This is not for us to decide." We must call the president. Please wait. ”
Stupid nodded. After two years of hard work, I can finally get what I want, and it's impossible to say that I'm not excited in my heart. Still, he stayed here quietly, waiting for the two women to say that the president would be.
Not long after, a middle-aged fox man walked over. He wore an elaborate robe and looked like a wise man. When he saw Ben, he smiled and held out his right hand.
Stupid naturally did not lose his rudeness, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, and the two shook hands.
"My name is Angus, and I'm the president here. I heard you'd like to exchange the World Tree seeds?" Angus said.
"Yes, I've got five thousand points, and five thousand points can be exchanged for World Tree seeds. I remember saying that. Stupid said.
"That's true. But are you sure you're exchanging the seeds of the World Tree, not other titles, realms, money, etc.......," Angus asked.
"I just want the seeds of the World Tree. Stupid said for sure.
"Kid, do you know how difficult it is for the seeds of the World Tree to germinate? You want to grow a World Tree, right? There are seeds, but it is very difficult to make it a World Tree. Angus said, "Why don't you exchange it for something else?" Whether it's a title of nobility, a domain, money, or even something else...... are more valuable to you than the World Tree. ”
"I just want the seeds of the World Tree. Stupid continued to cling to his own opinion.
"Alright then, please come with me. Angus said, standing up and going upstairs. Stupid followed Angus upstairs.
