"Tell me why you're here!"

Being able to speak is naturally much more convenient to communicate, and the other party does not directly attack them, whether it is because of fear of everyone's strength or other reasons, which means that the other party is not willing to go to war directly.

Able to communicate, Starmark naturally didn't want to cause trouble, and immediately replied politely: "Dear Queen Ant, we are just here to find a medicine for the child's body, and we don't intend to offend." ”

When the queen heard this, she still said in her cold voice, "What medicine are you looking for? How can we have medicine to heal our wounds in this barren land?"

"The source of the earth. Starmark said his purpose directly, and he didn't intend to waste too much time beating around the bush.

Hearing this, the queen ant said unexpectedly: "The source of the earth is indeed here, but I haven't heard that it has the effect of curing diseases and saving people, but if you want the source of the earth, I can give you some." ”

The queen's words greatly surprised everyone, and several people looked at each other, unable to believe that what they heard was true. Not only did the queen admit that the source of the earth was in her hands, but she also expressed her willingness to share with Starmark, which was certainly not impermanent, but it was still as incredible as a dream for Starmark and the others.

"Really, would you like to give us the source of the earth?" Starmark said with irrepressible excitement in his voice, and he secretly pinched his leg to see if he was dreaming. Before, the light of the Essence of the Moon had almost cost him his life, but now that the source of the earth seemed so easy, Starmark could hardly believe that such a good thing could happen.

The queen looked very calm: "Yes, but in exchange, you will provide us with some food." ”

"Food?" Starmark was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't think that the other party would ask for such a thing, but he didn't expect the other party to mention such a thing, this is inevitably too easy!

"Yes, it's food. ”

The queen said, a sad look on her brow, and she sighed, "Our people have faced a lack of food since they were banished into this barren desert by you humans. In order to satisfy our hunger, we can only be forced to rob your caravans, but in recent decades, there have been fewer caravans, and the seal of a demon king has appeared in the southwest, resulting in a decreasing area of our activities, and food is in short supply. ”

As she spoke, the queen reached out and touched the antbeast beside her: "You can also see that I have so many children to feed, so I need a lot of food to maintain my race." ”

Starmark nodded, "And how much food do you need?"

When the queen ant heard Starmark ask herself, her eyes also showed a few phases of light: "We want more easily stored food, the quantity... At least five million tons. ”

"Five million tons?" Starmark almost bit his tongue in fright after hearing this. Although the food that the queen ant wants is very ordinary, the number of five million tons is too large, this amount is almost equal to the annual food consumption of the entire Kingdom of Lune, and it is enough for decades in a sparsely populated city like Monrok.

Starmark turned to look at Andre and asked what he meant. Andrei grinned and said in a low voice: "Don't look at me, my little military salary, let alone five million tons, I can't afford five tons of grain... Anyway, I'm a contributor, how to decide it's up to you"

"Five million tons, isn't that too much..."Star Scar showed a look of embarrassment, this amount is not just a matter of money, but he has no place to get it!

Just as Starmark was worried about how to reply to the queen ant, An Lun came out of the copper plate with the gold coin.

"Five million tons of food, no problem, it's on me. I'm a peacemaker, and I don't like to fight the most. After speaking, he also teased the gold coin and said: "Am I right, little niece, in the future, you should not be as violent as your father and your Uncle Andre, you will fight at every turn, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem." ”

Although Starmark and Andre were a little angry when they heard this, An Lun was right, and no one wanted to fight and kill peacefully if they could solve it. And a peaceful solution can only rely on this rich man with a big business.

An Lun was quite confident at this time, and walked directly to the queen ant with a swagger, took out his radar number 17, pointed to a position on it and said: "Give me three days, and after three days, you will come here with the source of the earth and the men who carry the grain, and we will trade here." ”

The queen ant glanced at the location that An Lun was pointing to, it was a relatively middle position in the Sukrat Desert, surrounded by a vast desert, and it was indeed a relatively safe place for the queen ant, without worrying about being ambushed by humans. This also made the queen a little more fond of several people, and it can be seen from the location chosen that they are still quite sincere about this transaction.

"Thank you, human!" the queen's voice was filled with excitement as she saluted Anlun slightly. Then, she reached out and pulled out an earthy yellow ball of light with a lustrous sheen. Although this ball of light seems to be only the size of the palm of your hand, it has a heavy feeling, and even if you close your eyes and feel it, it is as if you are facing the vast earth, and it is definitely not inside this cave.

"This is the source of the earth. The queen introduced.

Feeling the heavy aura coming from the ball of light, Starmark's eyes lit up, and he knew that this must be the source of the earth!

"Okay, I'll see you in three days. ”

In the next three days, Starmark followed An Lun and began to go to major cities to purchase, even if it was a merchant capital, it was difficult to come up with five million tons of grain in one go, so he could only go to major cities to scrape together.

At this time, it shows the advantages of An Lun Shen Craftsman, if it is changed to Star Marks, even if he has enough money to buy these five million tons of grain, there is no place to buy it, because once it reaches a certain amount, others will be suspicious, and there will definitely be some of it. But An Lun is different, he just spread the news that he wants a lot of food, and some people prepare it for him, and even many of them take the initiative to send it to the door.

Three days later...

Looking at the grain piled up around him as high as a mountain, Xingji sighed: "It's all money." ”

"You guy didn't pay, so I'm embarrassed to say. An Lun said angrily, all this food was bought by him, and even the transportation costs were paid by him.

Xingji smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't I use all my savings to buy news, and who made you proud!"

Andre came to An Lun's side and asked, "Why did you promise the queen ant to buy so much food for them, don't you know that this desert is because of the existence of their family, so there is no way to improve it? If they become extinct, it will not take fifty years for the Kingdom of Rune to develop this desert into a place for human habitation." ”

When An Lun heard this, he looked like a cliché and said, "Indeed, as you said, if there are no ant beasts here, it won't be used for fifty years, and at most thirty years can change here." And with this large area of land, human development will be faster, and maybe even a few hundred years later, the entire Galtic continent will be recovered. ”

"You know that you still have to trade with them, isn't that what you desire?" Andre looked at An Lun seriously, he is a soldier, and his greatest wish is that humans can dominate this continent and no longer have to be threatened by demonic beasts.

When An Lun heard this, he looked at Andre and asked, "Is this really what you desire?" You also know the predecessor of the Kingdom of Lune. Runmead, which represents the four great powers, was so prosperous that humanity occupied almost the entire continent of Galthia, but as a result, without external pressure, we began to divide and there were constant wars between nations. Although I hate to say this, greed is the root of our innate inferiority, and no one can change it. Therefore, only by leaving behind the external danger of monsters can people move forward hand in hand. ”

Andre was silent after hearing this, he was thinking about Anlun's words.

Looking at Andre's appearance, An Lun sighed, and continued: "Besides, haven't you thought about it? The Galt Continent itself is not unique to us humans, but we share it with these monsters, if one day all the monsters are really expelled, what will the world become? It is impossible for us humans to survive alone, maybe then we humans should also face extinction." Even if it's not so serious, do you want the children in the future to just look at the picture album and ask the teacher, what are these?"

Andrei can't deny that what An Lun said is wrong, but he still can't get over this hurdle in his heart, because he is a soldier.

At this time, Xingji walked over and patted Andre on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect our deputy commander to be quite sentimental, don't think about it, it's still far away, at least our generation can't catch up." ”

"Hmm" Andrei nodded, but looking at the way he looked, he was still thinking about it.

......

Starmark and the others didn't wait long here before they ushered in the queen ant and her carrying team. When they saw the Queen's Carrying Brigade, Starmark and Andre were really sure that they didn't choose to go to war with each other, which was really too wise.

At a glance, this desert is covered with colorful antbeasts, and the number, even if you don't count them, is definitely 100,000. With such a large number of transport brigades, even if the strength of these ant beasts is nothing more than a chicken and a dog for Starmark and Andre, even if they are killed, they can be killed.

Moreover, Starmark can be sure that this is definitely not all the ants in the anthill.

The queen ant stepped to the front, and when she saw the mountains of grain, a rare smile appeared on her cold and proud face.

"Humans, on behalf of the antbeasts, I thank you. Once again, the queen saluted Starmark and the others.

An Lun took a step forward and said with a smile: "You can send someone to count it, five million tons, only a little more." ”

"Well..."The queen nodded, the tentacles on her head moved, and suddenly a large number of ant beasts came out from behind her, and began to carry the grain while counting.

Five million tons of grain, this is definitely a very large number, but under the handling of the ant clan, these five million tons of grain were transported in less than ten minutes. This also made several people even more shocked by the ability of the ant clan.

When the ant beasts retreated, the tentacles on the queen's head moved slightly: "A total of 5,174,662 tons of grain, thank you very much." ”

After speaking, the queen ant's fingers moved lightly, and the origin of the earth rose from her palm: "This belongs to you." ”
