Chapter 45 The Fruit of the Tree of Heaven and Earth
"Let him in. As the voice came, the wooden door slowly opened. Unlike the quaint wooden doors, the whole room is like a huge treasure trove, whether it is used or the decoration of the walls, it is all composed of gold and precious stones, and it is full of luxury. Even though it wasn't the first time Starmark had arrived, his heart was still beating faster than usual. Everything here greatly stimulated this man who had a special affection for gold coins.
As soon as Starmark entered the house, he heard a deep voice come from him.
"Boy, don't beat me up again, or don't blame me for blacklisting you!" The voice came from a man sitting in a golden chair, he looked to be in his fifties, his temples were slightly pale, but he did not look old, but like a fierce tiger, exuding the majesty of a hegemon.
"Hey, old Jack, it's been a long time, did you miss me?" Starmark looked casual, waving to Old Jack.
In response to Starmark's greeting, Old Jack teased, "I wish I never saw you, and every time I see you, I have to lose something in my house." ”
Starmark walked to the only sofa in the room where he could sit down, leaned back on the sofa very relaxed, and smiled: "Then you will wronged me, I still have to count on you to live, if you are angered, there will be no so-called thief star in this world." ”
Old Jack snorted lightly, picked up the cigar in front of him, took a hard puff, spit out a smoke ring, and said unhurriedly: "It's good if you know, let's say, what are you doing here today, do you want to sell the falling star here with me?"
For Old Jack to know that the falling star is in his hands, the star mark is not strange at all, after all, the man in front of him is a person known as the information hub, and all the news of the Lune Kingdom will be transmitted to him as soon as possible, if the other party does not know that the falling star is in his hands, it is really strange.
"Forget it, the price you received is really a little... I'm selling it from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for half the price. ”
Old Jack didn't have any dissatisfaction with Starmark's refusal, he didn't actually care much about Falling Star, at most he sold it relentlessly, and there was one thing he and Starmark had in common, that is, he thought that gold coins were the most beautiful thing in the world.
Old Jack spread his hands and said, "Whatever you want, then what are you kid here for? Don't worry about the things in my house." ”
Hearing Old Jack's question, Starmark also withdrew his gaze from looking around, "I want to know, what is there that can prolong a person's life." ”
"Extend the life of a man? Abner, that old fellow is dying?" Old Jack took another puff on his cigar and said, "That old fellow Abner is indeed a great man, but with his status, if the limit is approaching, the people above will naturally provide him with things to prolong his life, and you don't need to worry about that." ”
Xingji sneered when he heard this, and said: "Don't pretend to be confused, the teacher's great achievements are known to the world, and those wastes have long suspected that the teacher is highly meritorious, that is, the teacher is old, and the limit is approaching, so they didn't treat the teacher well, how could they come to help the teacher prolong his life." ”
Old Jack shook his head with a slight smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip and said, "Since you think so, then there is one thing that should help you." ”
"What's that?" Starmark's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he had always believed that Old Jack would have information about this kind of thing, but after really hearing it, he was still extremely excited.
"Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit. Old Jack said word for word.
"Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit?" Xingji was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you talking about the fruit of the legendary Divine Tree Heaven and Earth Tree? Isn't that a legend? Is it true?"
Old Jack nodded and said, "Of course, if it weren't for the real existence of the Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit, wouldn't it be groundless, of course, there are very few of them that can be obtained." After a pause, Old Jack continued: "I have only seen this fruit once, but I have never eaten it, but it is said that its effect, as long as there is a person who does not die in one breath, it can be saved, and if it is taken by someone who is not sick, it can also extend the life of one or two decades." ”
"Where is it!?" Starmark asked eagerly.
Old Jack stretched out his hand unhurriedly towards the star mark and said, "Five thousand gold coins." ”
"You're a robbery!" Hearing this, the excitement before Star Scar was swept away, if he didn't still have some rationality, he would have scolded, five thousand gold coins, this is simply killing him.
"Usually a piece of news is only a hundred gold coins, but this time you asked for five thousand, don't think that I am in a hurry to get the news, you can slander me!" Starmark said angrily.
Old Jack glanced at the star traces, and said angrily: "The things you looted from that female thief will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and you are still reluctant to give up these five thousand gold coins? Don't forget, this involves the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, which is known as the miracle medicine, if you get it, I dare to guarantee that if you sell hundreds of thousands of gold coins, someone will rush to buy it." If it weren't for the fact that you went to find the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree for Abna, I wouldn't have sold you this news for 50,000 gold coins. ”
After speaking, Old Jack stretched out his hand at the star mark and urged: "Hurry up and give the money, if you don't give it, you will get out of the way." ”
"Hmph. Starmark snorted, and though he said it was too expensive, he took out a large bag of gold coins from the storage ring and threw it at Old Jack. He wouldn't believe that this news would be worth five thousand gold coins, and he wouldn't believe that Old Jack would give him a price reduction because of Abner's relationship, but for Abner, even if he was slaughtered, he could only admit it.
Contrary to Starmark's eagerness, Old Jack unhurriedly opened the cloth bag, filled the table with gold coins inside, and then began to count them carefully.
"Don't count, it's not bad for your money!" The star mark who couldn't wait to know the news for a long time almost shouted out this sentence, the other party was too angry, with his and Old Jack's sensitivity to gold coins, as long as he felt the weight, he could determine the number of gold coins in the bag, where to pour out the numbers one by one, Old Jack clearly knew that he was in a hurry, so he deliberately hung his appetite.
When Old Jack heard this, he stretched out his hand and swept it, and the gold coins on the table suddenly disappeared without a trace, and complained: "It's not because you have to give gold coins, just give the gold ticket and there won't be so much trouble." ”
Looking at Starmark's anxious appearance, Old Jack laughed before continuing: "Today is really a pleasant day, I can finally see your kid's angry appearance." ”
As he spoke, Old Jack picked up the wine on the table, laughed and took a big sip before finally getting to the point: "For the sake of these shiny gold coins, I'll tell you." The Heaven and Earth Tree is... Yutan tribe, Bunbala. ”
"Where's that?" Starmark immediately asked.
"Outside of the western border of Lune, you need to pass through Kemo Island to reach it, but with your current strength, I advise you not to send you to death. ”
Hearing this, Starmark frowned, although he had not heard of Umbala, but he knew that Kemo Island was no longer part of the territory of Luen. Leaving the border means that it is no longer the scope of human domination, but the territory of Warcraft, and it is indeed very dangerous to pass through it.
Seeing Starmark's worried look, Old Jack suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, little guy, I like to see your expression the most." ”
Starmark glanced at him, but did not answer, but continued to think about how to get to Umbala, he was not a reckless person, and he would not easily do things that he was not sure of.
"Okay, don't worry, I only said where the Heaven and Earth Tree is, and I didn't say that the Heaven and Earth Tree fruit is also there, this news is a gift, if you have the strength in the future, you can go to the whole two, I am willing to buy."
"You're fooling me!"
As soon as Starmark was about to get angry, Old Jack had already preemptively said, "This time I want to tell you that the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree is in Alberta!"
"Alberta?" Starmark's eyes narrowed as she looked at Old Jack. To go, Alberta is exactly where Starmark was supposed to go to sell the Falling Star, and the Celestial Tree Fruit is also there, everything is too coincidental.
Old Jack had a sly smile on his face, and without asking too much, Starmark also knew that this old boy probably knew his destination a long time ago, and this was calculating himself.
Starmark's face remained unchanged and he spoke, "Where is Albeta?"
Old Jack smiled and said, "According to reliable sources, the Joscent family has obtained a Heaven and Earth Tree fruit, and it has the intention of selling it. ”
"For sale?" The corners of Starmark's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Old Jack and said: "The Joscent family, but the leader of Elbeta, even the Merchant Guild is unwilling to provoke them, and this kind of giant is not short of money, how could they want to sell such a rare treasure." ”
Old Jack explained, "You are right, the Joscent family is indeed not short of money. He paused, then continued.
"I'm afraid you don't know the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, after this fruit is separated from the mother tree, it can only guarantee the medicinal effect for one month, although it has the effect of prolonging life, but in fact the effect on young people is not great, only the old people who have entered the twilight of their lives, have obvious effects. The Josente family itself was looking for an elder in the family, but the elder didn't hold out until they returned. ”
"Isn't there any other old guy in their family who needs to take it?"
Old Jack grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, "This is not for you and me to ask, you just need to know that they are selling the Heaven and Earth Tree fruit." As for the price, you also know that the Joscent family is not short of money, so money has no meaning to them, it is just a number, and they will only exchange it for some valuable treasures. ”
