Chapter 119 Devil's Currency (Part 1)

The cliffs of Dragon Cliff are a bit difficult to climb.

In desperation, Sauron had no choice but to go up first and then throw a cable down. Soon the elite pirates under him climbed up the ice cliff, and looked eagerly at the location of the dragon's nest one by one. Sauron counted the number of people, and then led them into the dragon's lair. What appeared before their eyes was a pile of golden treasures. Although it is not exaggerated enough to fill the entire dragon's nest, it is still full of visual shock at first glance, especially the scattered golden sand and gold nuggets.

"A lot of gold!"

A one-eyed pirate with an eyepatch glanced at it, swallowed involuntarily and said, "A lot of gold, a lot of gems, I'm afraid this is enough for us to earn dozens of votes, right?"

The other pirates had similar expressions.

However, some small bosses looked calmer, but they still felt a little dazzled. Only one young man was calmer. He took out a single-rimmed glasses from his coat pocket, swiped it up and down, and then murmured as if he was calculating. He muttered: "Gold and silver are about 100,000 golds, and jewelry and diamonds are probably around 50,000 golds. I don't know much about other things, but we should have made a lot of money with this ticket. Many brothers died in vain." .”

It takes more than two hundred years for a white dragon to reach adulthood.

So the wealth in front of it is the treasures it has accumulated for more than two hundred years, because it has not attacked the city kingdom, so the number of treasures does not seem too scary. If it is a giant dragon that has attacked a city or blackmailed a kingdom, the treasure it possesses may be a bit like the dragon on the Lonely Mountain in The Lord of the Rings, and that is the real golden mountain and silver sea. Maybe because he has experienced a lot, Sauron came all the way to see such a golden mountain and calmed down a lot.

He glanced at the treasure in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "All of them will be transported to the ship. You should all remember my rules."

"At that time, it will naturally be rewarded based on merit."

"If someone dares to hide it privately, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you! Come on, the three of you transport the gold out first. Cyclops, the five of you divide the silver into a pile, and then carry it down with cloth. Wait The next time someone brings boxes over, they will all be transported back in boxes, and everyone will be rewarded this time!"

Sauron quickly finished the division of labor.

Then let the young pirate with the single-frame glasses come over, and the two of them sorted the jewelry and diamonds into one piece.

These are high value loot. Even if Sauron strictly forbids private possession, there might be someone secretly stuffing the two pieces, so it's better for him to handle it himself. There are many ordinary gems, such as rubies, sapphires, agates, emeralds, etc. There are probably hundreds of pieces. The value of these gems is relatively low, probably because the world is rich in minerals. Most of these gemstones are worth around one hundred to five hundred Kindlers.

Finally, there is the diamond that Bailong likes to collect. There are about fifty of them.

These diamonds are all of high value. Sauron glanced at them, and they were all more than a few hundred Kindlers. One of the diamonds was almost the size of a fingernail. It was a crystal-clear blue diamond, and it seemed that it had been polished. processed. Sauron took this magnificent blue diamond in his hand and weighed it. The weight is about 50 grams. If this weight is changed to the previous life, it would be a rare treasure. Even in this world, it is quite rare, basically only the top royal nobles can have it.

"Looks like a lot of money."

Sauron played with the blue diamond in his hand, the craftsmanship on it was quite superb. I don't know where the white dragon got it from. Because Sauron's valuation ability is not enough, it is impossible to determine its value. But it is sure that it is more expensive than other diamonds combined. This kind of thing is not easy to sell because the value is too high. Even if the royal family and nobles want to buy it, they need to weigh their financial resources and cash. On a conservative estimate, its value should be more than 30,000 Kindlers!

Sauron glanced at it, then put away the azure diamond.

Then he packed other jewelry and diamonds separately. Immediately after that, look for extraordinary-level equipment as trophies. It's a pity that Sauron didn't find anything, because this is an overseas region, and the dragons living here basically rarely encounter adventurers, so it is naturally difficult to collect high-value extraordinary equipment. These days, the more often a giant dragon is challenged by others, the more spoils it collects. A white dragon that was killed by Sauron in one fell swoop did not collect much extraordinary equipment.

Among the five-color dragon species, the red dragon is the most powerful and has the most treasures. Basically, there are legendary equipment in the dragon nest.

This is difficult for other dragon species to match.

………………

About half an hour later.

Sauron emptied the dragon's lair, and the pirates who stayed on the ship had already arrived, and the next thing to be transported was the body of the white dragon. But just when he was about to go out, the young pirate next to him seemed to have discovered something, and walked over with two gray-looking stones in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency! I found this in the corner, and it is also I don't know what it is. But it looks like something useful!"

What's this?

Sauron stretched out his hand to take the two gray stones, glanced at them for a while and couldn't help but startled, then glanced at the young pirate next to him, and said approvingly, "Good job! What's your name?"

The young pirate looked a little excited, leaned over and said, "My name is Naxos, and they all like to call me by the nickname - Treasure Hunter."

Treasure hunting talent?

Sauron was stunned for a moment, then looked him up and down and said, "Yes. I remember you. Someone will arrange for you when you go back."

There are some strange talents and specialties in this world. Many of these abilities are innate, as if someone is born with an unexpected intuition for treasure hunting. There are also some people who have innate abilities beyond ordinary people in searching, listening, and sensing. This kind of guy is born with one or two specialties, many of which are not combat abilities, but they are very useful if they are not used properly. Sauron remembered that there was a goblin professional back then who was quite extraordinary, born with legendary treasure hunting expertise, as if he couldn't hide anything valuable from him.

Sauron left Dragon Cliff with his men.

On the way, he kept playing with the two dusty stones in his hand. He was familiar with this thing, but he still needed to pay a little killing experience to identify it.

With the emergence of a faint spiritual light:

"Item Type: Soul Stone [+1]

Item level: [first-order extraordinary item]

Item description: This is a special gemstone that stores soul energy, and it is a defective product of the soul-confinement spell or other soul-confinement spells. The soul energy stored in this soul stone is relatively limited, and it can be used to replace many special materials, or as an equivalent alchemy prop. In Baator Hell and Abyss, soul stones are often used as trading currency, because for devils, gold, silver and jewels don't have much meaning, and only souls are what they most desire.

Requirements for use: None.

Use effect 1: Extract the energy of the soul stone and gain 3000-5000 killing experience points.

Use effect 2: As a currency for devil trading, or a substitute for summoning contracts. "

………………

Two soul stones.

They are all first-order extraordinary items.

I don't know where Bailong got this thing, because according to Sauron's understanding, this thing is very rare in the material plane, and only Bator Hell and the Abyss can be used as currency circulation. Gold, silver and jewelry don't mean much to demons and devils, especially to devils, gold is just some boring collectibles, while silver is something disgusting. Because silver is called [Poison Stinger] in Baator Hell, the devil will be burned when he touches it, just like a person touches sulfuric acid.

What the devil desires most is a soul!

So Bator hell soul is the real valuable currency, but this currency is quite rare, because they still have to find a way to steal these currencies from the hands of the god of death.

A whole soul is quite valuable!

It's a pity that there are still many devils who are not strong enough in Baator Hell, so the soul stone appeared as a substitute.

It is an incomplete soul energy.

It was once jokingly called "the devil's currency", which can be used to trade with the devil, or as a sacrifice to summon the devil. If it is Sauron, who can absorb soul energy and transform it into killing experience, he can also directly absorb the energy of soul stones to improve his strength. So there used to be a time when a lot of people liked to collect it because it could make a quick comeback!

There is energy in the soul stone.

But low-level devils can't absorb it. It is more dedicated to middle-level and above devils, and then the superiors of the devils give energy boosts to increase the strength of the dedicated subordinate devils by one or two levels. So even in Bator Hell, soul stones are rare items. Basically, only middle-level devils can collect them, and their strength is about the same as that of legendary professionals in the material plane.

Although it is only a first-order extraordinary item.

However, the rarity and value of soul stones are similar to legendary items, and their circulation is basically limited to Bator Hell.

——"The soul is currency!"

This is the most common lingua franca in hell.

The most wasteful way to use a soul stone is to directly absorb its energy.

Although Sauron is not very good at using the soul stone, he also knows a way to maximize its value, that is to use the soul stone to summon the devil, and then arrange a group of happy friends to come and watch it in advance. As for whether the devil should be slaughtered in the end, or used for other things, it depends on one's own mind.

The biggest flaw of this method is that it cannot be used too many times!

Therefore, if Sauron had the formation to summon devils in his hand, he could directly use the soul stone to summon middle and low-level devils to descend.
