Chapter Nine Seventeen: Crystal Spore Lake(1/2)
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
Whip, keep beating! Fast! Faster! Don’t be caught up by the rolling tide!
During the turbulence, Marshall and Chun sat side by side, both of them feeling uncomfortable.
One was thinking that he should not pull out the mysterious crystal; the other was thinking that he should not just let Marshall pull out the stone.
Wave after wave of sharp wind continued to wreak havoc on the lush green grass, pouring into the small car without any reason.
"Well..." Marshall's small body couldn't stand the strong wind, "Damn... come closer, it's a bit cold."
"Well..." Chun turned his head and found that Marshall's face looked a little uncomfortable in the wind.
The wolf-orc turned his head quickly, stretched out his arms stiffly, and pulled the trembling little girl into his arms.
As for why I can't close the window...
Both of them could only smile helplessly.
Because the lock was blown off... luckily no one was hurt by the metal piece that popped out.
"That's it, that's good." Marshall's face touched the soft and warm hair, his face warmed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
She could feel the bumps of the wheels rolling over the stones, and the roar of the wind.
This feeling was obscured by a strange, unusually soft feeling.
She truly felt Chun's breathing and heartbeat.
This is absolutely! Excellent! Pillow! There is no other pillow! It can also give you enough sense of security!
"The water has stopped! Stop the car! The water has stopped! The tide has dropped! Stop the car!"
The strong wind suddenly stopped! The earth also inexplicably stopped shaking violently!
Bang!
The violent momentum acted on the sides of the two people, causing their bodies to fall forward.
Chun stretched out his left hand and pushed forward hard, causing the two of them to stop falling.
Marshall struggled to crawl out of Chun's arms and smiled when he saw Chun turning his head to one side and blushing slightly.
"Thank you, hehe~" Marshall said very seriously, "It's really comfortable."
She pinched the crystal in her trouser pocket, and her thoughts gradually expanded.
This beautiful stone can be made into a beautiful bracelet after a little carving!
Then give it to this wolf orc as a gift!
In this way, the positions of Chun and Marshall continued to rise uncontrollably in each other's hearts.
At night, the stars are lined up like a group of buildings in the sky, beautiful and beautiful.
The wheels of the carriage gradually stopped, and the tense heartstrings gradually relaxed.
The sudden appearance of the lake seemed to have stopped spreading, so William ordered the convoy to stop and rest fifty meters away from the lake.
There are many things that can ignite fires everywhere, and tents are erected immediately. On the fertile plains, everything is simple.
Not far away, the orcs except for Chun gathered around the bonfire, drinking heavily together, eating the meat they had brought back in the afternoon, and swallowing it with dry food. It was simply not too beautiful.
The sound of insects is everywhere.
William, Marshall and Chun were sitting by another campfire, also eating meat.
Fresh lamb fat can completely bring out the meaty aroma in the lamb. Coupled with some mixed spices, the oil shines brightly, and the speed of eating the meat is not even as fast as the roasting speed.
"Uncle, please slow down, there is no one to compete with you." Marshall angrily saw Chun's eyes wandering greedily in front of the few skewers in his hand, "It seems to be quite delicious?"
Marshall just gnawed the dry food roughly and drank the water in the water bag from time to time. All her flesh was given to Chun.
Is this guy a bottomless pit? Is he so edible?
But there is still a lot of meat, and I can roast it in bits and pieces all night.
"Hiccup~" After a long time, Chun put his hands on the ground contentedly and burped comfortably.
The mutton is crispy and fragrant, coupled with the aroma of the wood, supplemented by various spices, locking in the aroma of the mutton, melting in your mouth and overflowing with gravy.
Suddenly I discovered that this kind of life is not bad...
"Hiccup~" Chun raised his hand, took a big gulp of the slightly strong ale, and burped happily again.
"Hmm...it's delicious..." It was only at this time that Marshall started taking today's dinner seriously.
William watched with interest the two people sitting side by side, their shadows flickering vaguely in the dancing firelight.
He's helping Marshall grill the meat.
My hands are a little sore.
Marshall leaned lazily against Chun's huge and thick body, watching the ebb and flow of the lake that suddenly appeared in the distance.
The breeze blows, and the mysterious and mysterious colorful glow trembles in the lake from time to time, which once again enhances the unique appearance of this lake.
"Did you find a beautiful, glass-like crystal on the ground and pull it out?" William dropped the wooden pick in his hand and suddenly said to Marshall.
"Um."
"Take it out and show it to me."
"Okay." Marshall took out a crystal half the size of her palm from the bag, wiped the surface carefully, blew on it again, and then handed it to William.
"Yes..." William's eyes flashed with joy, "These crystals are called crystal spores, and they contain high-purity magic power."
"Crystal spores?" Marshall heard the new term, raised his head, and continued to listen to William.
"The total amount of magic power of each spell is limited, and absorbing crystal spores is equivalent to providing them with additional magic support."
"The darker the color and the cooler the crystal spore, the higher the quality. Your piece may be able to sell for a good price."
"I'm not selling it." Marshall pouted, "This thing is quite beautiful as a decoration."
"What a waste of natural resources~" William laughed loudly, "However, absorbing too many crystal spores at one time may lead to demonization, even loss of consciousness, and turning people into monsters."
"Then can I absorb it?"
"No, only warlocks with magic patterns can absorb magic from the outside world. My advice is to try not to use crystal spores. The actual effect is unstable and can drive people crazy."
Marshall leaned comfortably next to Chun, who was dozing, and continued: "But there are also people who trade, right?"
"Yes, there are indeed many buyers for the crystal spores produced exclusively in the [Land of Desire]. And the place where the crystal spores are produced is the lake that erupted from the ground before, the crystal spore lake."
"Crystal Spore Lake? Are there crystal spores in it? Just like shells, can they be picked up directly?"
"It's like picking up stones on the ground. Anything that shines or shines is a crystal spore." William said with a smile, "The origin of the crystal spore lake is due to the [original rune] moving underground. The one you pulled out
The crystal spore is just a fuse, and when it accumulates enough magic power, it will naturally spurt out."
"Can this water be drunk directly?"
"No, unless you want to directly come into contact with high-concentration rune magic power, it is best not to touch it for more than twenty seconds at a time. The magic power of the water in Crystal Spore Lake will automatically separate the human body from it, so don't worry
Will be hurt."
"If it's so simple...then someone must have come to collect it..." After all, they were picking up money from the ground, and the momentum was so loud that it seemed like the world was about to collapse.
"They are called crystal chasers." William tapped the back of his hand gently, "They are speculators on the grassland of Green. They usually work in the gem mining area, but as soon as they see the crystal spore lake appear, they will speed up.
They would rush over and collect crystal spores scattered around the lake. They would also pull up boats and trawl nets and go to the center of the lake to collect more crystal spores."
"That seems to be a lot of money."
"It also depends on whether they can survive to get the money..."
Marshall did not continue asking because the answer was very simple.
William has also said before that in this land full of desires, basically all speculators are desperadoes.
"Speaking of which, you and he get along pretty well."
"Hmm... maybe." Marshall stroked his bangs and stretched out his little hand towards the campfire, trying to get that warmth.
"He fell asleep." William reminded him.
"I know." Marshall said playfully, and immediately she stood up, not wanting to disturb Chun, "I'll go to the other side to have a look and let him sleep. Tomorrow he and I will go to Crystal Spore Lake to have a look."
William watched Marshall running to the opposite side to chat with other orcs. When he was far enough away, he stretched out his right hand and patted Chun on the shoulder. Seeing that Chun, who was supporting him with his hand, did not wake up, he took up his hand and shook it vigorously.
.
"Uh...uh! Am I asleep?" Chun shivered and then woke up from his dream.
Chun quickly looked for Marshall, but found that she was no longer beside him!
"Hello." One person and one beast finally talked face to face at this time, "Mr. Chun."
"You...Hello, sorry, I just fell asleep..." Chun scratched his head, blushed, and forced a smile out of embarrassment.
"It seems you didn't tell her your name."
Chun's sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant. He swallowed his saliva and his body suddenly stiffened: "!!!"
