"It's only a few gold coins short, can't you be accommodating?"
"No, this is a small business, so I won't bargain!"
"Damn it, if only this magic crystal that sealed half of the sea monster's soul could be considered a gem!"
"This tree also takes the magic crystal on your little finger. It's worth about two gems. It's better to act than to move your heart. Give me this magic crystal, and you can get the trading conditions for the ancient soul!"
In the pouring rain, which seemed to be pierced through the sea of sky, George once again had a constant confrontation with the disembodied voice of the Tree of Knowledge——
In other words, bargaining.
The Tree of Knowledge was willing to accept magic crystals, which was far beyond George's expectation. He was unable to trade the ancient souls due to poor harvests from the treasure hunt under the sea. He originally just made fun of himself, but he didn't expect that the Tree of Knowledge was actually willing to give away the magic crystal like a sapphire ring. Accept the magic crystal.
"By the way, the last wish gift in your hand is worth five gems to this tree, which is an ancient soul. Of course, you will definitely not sell it to this tree, or will you?"
The gift of the last wish, the magic mark left by the white wolves on George's right wrist, is also an important medium for George to summon the wolf soul. Of course, George is 100% unwilling.
In addition, George was also a little hesitant about summoning the magic crystal to summon the sea monster. Not only was George unwilling to accept that the powerful summoned beast he had worked so hard to resurrect was sold at a low price, but more importantly, according to the Tree of Knowledge, the sea monster that George worked so hard to seal in the magic crystal was There is only half of the soul, and the remaining half of the soul is still stubbornly attached to George's Phoenix Feather!
In other words, half of the soul curse brought to George by the hateful giant sea monster still remains in his body. Although it is not as powerful as before, unless all the souls of the sea monster can be conquered, George's fire will be destroyed. Spellcasting will continue to be restricted.
"I have to find a way to drive the remaining sea monster souls into the magic crystal. But if the magic crystal is traded, where should I drive these souls away... What should I do? Should I continue the transaction?"
In the midst of hesitation and trance, George's thoughts returned to half an hour ago:
Time goes back to an earlier moment, when George swam back to the shore from the bottom of the sea, the sky had changed color, from pure and flawless blue to black as thick as ink, with wind and rain, lightning and thunder, From time to time, a few dazzling lights pierced the sky from above, followed closely by a deafening roar that resounded throughout the entire sea!
Since George's seaside house was destroyed by a sea monster earlier, George, who had "returned with a full load", had no choice but to rush to the forest to take shelter under the Tree of Knowledge, and hand over the "trophies" to this ancient tree——
Several boxes of rusty coins and a lot of scrap metal with gold rims or precious stones were all George's harvest.
The corrosiveness of seawater is far more severe than George imagined. After years of erosion, countless equipment and treasures were reduced to scrap metal, and countless gold and silver jewelry lost their luster. George and the wolf souls searched desperately, and finally found , these are just these old objects that have long been devastated.
The harvest was so low, but it was George's own miscalculation.
Legends such as sunken treasures on the seabed may really exist, but these legends have a very low probability and very harsh premise, that is, after the shipwreck, the sealing of the space where the treasures are stored has not been damaged in any way. Being damaged, long-term seawater erosion and the inhabiting and chewing of underwater creatures can even make indestructible artifacts "disappear".
Obviously, the treasures George dug up were just as unlucky as their former owners. Only the heavy gold coin boxes looted from the treasure rooms of several pirate ships were filled with all kinds of stuff. In addition to the valuable gold and silver coins, there are even a large number of copper coins and cheap coins. The existence of these cheap coins also makes the final value of the gold coin box far different from the heavy feeling in the palm of the hand.
Cheap currency is the currency at the bottom of the "food chain" among the currencies circulating in this plane. Generally speaking, one gold coin can be exchanged for thirty to thirty-five silver coins. The conversion of silver coins to copper coins is the same, while one copper coin can be exchanged for about ten cheap coins, which shows its low value.
After clattering, the gold coins in the gold coin box and all the equipment with gems were placed in front of the Tree of Knowledge. After just a little effort, the ancient tree gave George an amount that almost made him faint. total--
One thousand nine hundred and ninety-four gold coins, this is the total price after digging out all the gemstones from the scrap metal!
