Chapter 457 Golden Amber

I shouldn't have asked that.

In order to keep the atmosphere harmonious between them, Huai Shi knew that he should show indifference, no matter how curious he was in his heart.

But he just wanted to know...

Instead of conducting a secret investigation after returning home, why not find out directly in person?

If the atmosphere of the previous conversation between the two was not pleasant, then his words at this moment can be interpreted as "not knowing how to flatter", but since the communication is good, why not put all the problems in the open?

He didn't intend to get involved.

Pure gossip.

King Sha was silent for a moment, looking at Huai Shi's expression, as if trying to find any sign of remorse.

But in the end, I discovered that the young man in front of me... might just be out of curiosity.

In fact, he didn't care whether Huai Shi changed his mind.

As a crowned one, he doesn't care that he will have another second-level enemy. Even if this enemy belongs to the Astronomical Society and has various achievements and experiences, it is the same.

He has been preparing for this for many years and has paid a huge price for it. No matter who is in front of him, he will not stop.

Therefore, he did not intend to hide it.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and drank down the pre-dinner wine. He waved his hand to reject the waiter's service and put the glass aside.

"The so-called golden amber is just a nickname.

Essentially, its main body is the skull of Demeter, the fifth-level ascendant of Rome from the previous generation.

That's the Philosopher's Stone she left behind. "

Sand King explained calmly.

Demeter, one of the main branches of the Roman genealogy, a fifth-level stigmata of the Greek genealogy, inherited the miracles from the god of farming and harvest.

His status in the Roman genealogy is like that of Qingdi in the Eastern Xia genealogy.

For the great support and great logistics, the entire lineage may be missing one or two thugs, but such existence will always be an indispensable member.

You know, farming and harvest-type miracles, in addition to planting abyssal plants, often refer to some special skills that can accelerate the growth of the sublimated.

It is said that as long as the Qing Emperor touches it, the growth years of all plants can be increased by a certain number of years out of thin air - the number of years depends on the Qing Emperor's will, and the upper limit is the age of the sublime.

There is no consumption, just like breathing.

In other words, the older the Qing Emperor is, the more terrifying the power of this stigmata will be. Even though not all herbs and plants are better when they are older, their range of applications is still terrifying.

The effect of Demeter's stigmata is unclear to Huai Shi, but since it can be compared with the Qing Emperor, one can imagine how precious it is.

However, Huai Shi became more and more puzzled.

"Would the Roman genealogy be allowed to wander?"

"Before she died, she returned the correction value accumulated by her ancestors to the Roman King's Hall." King Shah replied, "And her body, according to her wishes, was processed into a relic of the stigmata."

He said, "A disposable consumable."

Huai Shi couldn't imagine the details, but she could still think of the complicated inside story and countless battles and compromises behind it. It must be no small matter for a fifth-level ascendant to willingly sacrifice his body for it.

After a pause, the Sand King sighed and said the most important message: "Its effect is to turn at least 300,000 square kilometers of land into fertile soil for continuous harvests by consuming the correction value."

Huai Shi froze on the spot.

He vaguely guessed something, and because of this, it was a bit unbelievable.

"Do you want to use it?" Huai Shi asked, "Or do you plan to destroy it?"

"Destroy the hope of redemption with your own hands?"

King Sha asked back: "Do I give people the impression of a violent and crazy careerist? Mr. Huaishi, is there anyone who would go to such an extent in order to consolidate his power?"

Because of this, Huai Shi is unbelievable.

The source of Sand King's correction value comes from this desert and the high-quality ore continuously excavated by countless miners...

It can be said that this crown is built on the pain of Australia today.

As long as the desert can retreat an inch, then the power he possesses will be reduced. As long as a person can find a way out and no longer become a precarious miner, then the power he possesses will be reduced.

It can be said that if the Sand King wants to use it, he is digging a grave for his kingdom.

"Why?" Huai Shi asked.

"Because I need it."

Sand King calmly replied, "Because Australia needs it."

"——Is there anyone else here besides me who has enough correction value to use this treasure?"

"So, it has to be me."

He said: "This sacrifice must be made by me."

Huai Shi fell into silence.

He looked at the old man in front of him.

Suddenly, I understood why he could gain such high popularity and be followed crazily by so many people without revealing his power beyond ordinary people, using violence, or using his extraordinary power and status.

He did not see himself as a king.

Even if there is a solemn crown on the top of the head.

What is impressive and admirable is not his strength, but the promises he has made and the magnanimous attitude he shows now.

Even if the person in front of him may be his competitor, he will treat him politely.

Even if he becomes an enemy in the future, he will not give up telling his vision to win the other party's support.

Even if their true status is completely different from each other, a second-level ascendant and a noble crowned person can still have dinner together at the same table.

Regardless of whether what he said was a lie or how sincere it was, such magnanimity really made Huai Shi feel in awe.

He thought for a long time and asked: "Do you want to save Australia, Your Majesty the Sand King?"

"That's not something I can do."

The Sand King shook his head: "Even if I exhaust my correction value, the only thing that can be changed is the land around Canberra, right? But I believe that even such a small change is enough for Australia, which is now dying - for us There is nothing more precious than hope.”

"Aren't you afraid of objections from others?" Huai Shi asked: "As far as I know, mining exports are Australia's largest source of income today, and countless people have benefited from this process."

"But my peers and my children are suffering in the process."

King Shah said: "If someone objects, I will convince him. If someone stands in the way, I will kill him. Compared with this hope, everything is worth mentioning."

"Even if the opponents include your subordinates and former companions?" Huai Shi asked.

"No, they're standing with me."

The Sand King smiled proudly: "From the beginning, I never concealed my purpose from them.

Mr. Huaishi, this is the promise I made to the ancestors of the Shah King, my brothers, and my children - the inheritance of the Shah King will be cut off in my hands. "

"I want to save our suffering motherland."

He stared out of the window of the revolving restaurant, under the gray sky, at the endless yellow sand extending beyond the city to the end of his sight: "At least, I want to save my hometown, this land without any grass."

"Is that just that?" Huai Shi asked.

"Maybe more than that."

The Shah replied, "I don't deny that from some perspectives my intentions are not pure. But wishing for power is not a shameful thing, right? Wanting someone to respect and thank me for what I have done , you can’t say you have bad intentions, right?”

"really."

Huaishi nodded and agreed.

It was really nice to have someone thank him, and he had no objection to it... Isn't that what the sublimators do when they do good things?

"Well then, I think our dinner can begin."

The sand king smiled.

What followed was a perfect dinner, in which both guest and host enjoyed themselves.

When King Sha said goodbye, Huai Shi took the old man to the car outside the hotel.

Before leaving, King Sha solemnly shook hands with Huai Shi.

"According to what I know, you should be the Mountain Ghost Stigmata, right?" He invited: "Are you willing to participate in this?"

"no."

Huai Shi smiled and shrugged: "Thank you for your warm hospitality, but I have a tight schedule."

King Sha nodded, "Then, forgive me for not being able to send you far away. I wish you a safe journey."

"I will."

Huai Shi smiled and stood there, watching the car go away. Then she turned back to the hotel, pulled away the tie that was in the way, and finally took a breath.

That's the only thing that's not good about chatting with big shots.

Easily nervous.

Although there were a lot of polite words, the conversation was still sincere and candid.

He was almost dragged into his great cause of transforming Australia by the Sand King...

"Are you really not tempted at all?" Crow stood on the chair with a smile but not a smile: "If you get the golden amber, it will be a very powerful gain even for Shao Siming."

"Of course I'm tempted."

Huai Shi shook his head, lying on the bed, and suddenly said: "There are so many good things in the world, it makes no sense that they all belong to me, right?"

"give up?"

"Well, I gave up." Huai Shi nodded: "Although I feel a little embarrassed to say it, I was convinced by him. Even if I get this thing, I'm afraid I will hand it over to the local astronomical society and let them decide whether to help Sha King?"

"The local astronomical society may not give up its neutral stance."

"Then just stay neutral." Huai Shi shook his head: "At least you don't have to worry about them doing bad things, right?"

"You are really open-minded."

"I just know how much I weigh." Huaishi reached out and pulled out the Sword of Virtue from the saddle bag. He looked at the incomplete blade and stroked the gap on it: "If I have gained a little bit these days. If so, it’s probably fear.”

"Fear?"

"Fear is not a shameful thing, right?" Huai Shi said, "I just don't want to pin too many things on luck."

"You have grown up, Huai Shi."

"Thanks to you."

Wu Wutian laughed shamelessly: "Then you have to thank me properly."

"yes."

Huai Shi closed her eyes tiredly: "I wish I could thank you forever..."

"There's no need to be so exaggerated, a lifetime is enough."

Before falling asleep, Huaishi couldn't help but laugh when she heard such words coming to her ears.

Fall into a deep sleep.
