The Southwind Kingdom was located at the southernmost tip of the Old Continent, adjacent to the vast Treasure Sea.
Because there were all kinds of flowers blooming all year round, it was also known as the Kingdom of Spring and the Kingdom of Flowers. It was formed by a series of large and small city-states that shared a common belief.
Even if all the city-states combined were not too big, the climate was pleasant, the scenery was beautiful, and the terrain was flat and fertile. Agriculture, trade, and tourism were very developed.
During the winter, a monsoon current that originated from the Eritrean Sea and traveled from east to west would continuously transport warm seawater from the tropics to the northern part of the Treasure Sea. The main beneficiary of this was the South Wind Kingdom.
There were more than 60 city-states of various sizes that formed this kingdom. They all worshipped the most terrifying of the seven gods of the continent, but in fact, they were the most low-key "Howling Storm" Bilreth.
At the same time.
This true god was also the only true god who did not send any angels to the mortal world or perform any miracles after the end of the Millennium of Darkness and the beginning of the Renaissance. Even the church organization that belonged to him, the Storm Royal Court, was not keen on expanding the faith of God.
Therefore, the Southwind Kingdom was the only place that this true god cared about in the material world. Because of this, it also gained an invisible umbrella. The people's happiness index was very high, and it became a permanent neutral safe zone.
Many rich and powerful people from other countries bought properties here, either for vacation or to prepare for their own retreat. At the same time, it also spurred the local economic development.
In addition, the countries of the Old Continent once discussed the abnormalities of this true god and his church.
Some said that this true god had fallen into eternal slumber, while others said that he had actually transcended the level of a true god and no longer paid attention to the mortal world. But in fact, the number of high-level clergymen in the Storm Royal Court was no less than the number of other true gods.
No one knew the real situation. In any case, it had nothing to do with Elvin and the others.
In the Southwind Kingdom's independent city, Kounsai, the most luxurious Four Seasons Flower Hotel in the city.
"60 Gold Lions (different currencies have been converted). Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?
Although serpentine stones are not rare, it is very rare to see a piece like this that weighs 20 kilograms, is clean and delicate, and has a uniform color.
Especially the wave-shaped gem on the top. It is emerald green with uneven stripes that seem to have been burned by flames. This is a unique product that none of the jewelry appraisal experts have ever seen before. "
The auctioneer, who was wearing a white shirt and a red bow tie, was still enthusiastically telling the guests about the preciousness of the auction items. He was trying his best to arouse their emotions and continue to raise the price of the auction items.
Encouraged by the auctioneer, many people were eager to give it a try. Just based on the word "unique", it was worth adding another ten or twenty gold lions.
At this moment, a melodious female voice suddenly sounded from below the stage.
"As we all know, the Serpentine Stone is a kind of jade formed by the invasion of magma. It got its name because it has alternating green and green lines like a snake's skin. As for the so-called 'gem' that comes with this kind of stone, don't tell me it's melted quartz? "
As soon as he said that, the buyers' group immediately buzzed.
Most of the people who could stay in this hotel were either rich or respectable. Of course, there were many opportunities to deal with jewelry, but it was impossible to say that they were very professional.
Obviously, they were not among those who were "well aware" of the Serpentine Stone.
When they heard that someone had "revealed the truth" and noticed the look on the auctioneer's face, they immediately lost interest in the so-called "exclusive" item. Wasn't quartz glass? No matter how "exclusive" and "exclusive" it was, any random piece taken from the window of a church would be bigger and greener than this one.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the auctioneer panicked.
He was the only one who knew best. It was true that a certain guest below the stage said that it was quartz. It was also true that the appraiser said that it was very likely to be unique.
If the appraiser could not even distinguish the material, he would have been thrown into the sea by the hotel owner long ago.
This was because although it was generally confirmed that its main composition was the same as glass, it was a piece of very old natural glass. There were also some components inside that even alchemists could not distinguish, so it was not a lie.
However, at this moment, when someone called out the nature of a man-made product like "glass," it was impossible for him to get a higher price.
Moreover, the current price had already exceeded his psychological expectations. He no longer hesitated. If the previous guest who called out a price went back on his word, all his efforts would be in vain.
Dong!
He slammed the auction mallet down.
"Three, two, one, sold for sixty gold coins! Congratulations to the guest at table three! "
"Next, let's take a look at the 15th lot, the latest masterpiece of the master swordsmith, Crisfield …"
“.....”
In the evening, the auction ended.
A young man and woman with an outstanding appearance walked out of the venue intimately, hand in hand.
The girl seemed to have springs under her feet as she walked. She was obviously in a good mood, and as she walked, she could not help but pour her heart out.
"Magma invasion is indeed one of the possibilities for the final formation of the Serpentine Stone, but there is another possibility, which is that a meteor fell and hit land.
"I've already checked it. The meteorite I captured should have melted together with the rocks on the ground during the violent impact. Then, a large amount of melted material was thrown out like waves, which eventually formed this gem-like green material.
We've found the address where this thing was found, and there should be more than one like they said … "
Elvin smiled as he listened to Olivia chatter like a happy little sparrow. He already knew that one of the prerequisites for a Gem School Wizard to advance to Grade 3 was to add new members to the school's gem system.
Whether it was man-made or natural, it was fine.
This included the place of origin, hardness, crystal system, color, luster, and so on. It was best to form a new concept of jewelry.
This had little to do with the wizard's strength, but it was a test of their eyesight and luck.
"Luck?"
Just as Elvin was muttering to himself, he heard Olivia suddenly turn her head and ask.
"Elvin, this gem is called the Green Meteorite, what do you think?"
"Well, it's very appropriate and pleasant to the ear.
By the way, Hersey, do you think that the two of us have been particularly lucky recently?
Not long ago, we just got the 'Alchemy Workshop' and 'Witchcraft: Animate Dead' from the 'School of Animate', and today, we got an advanced treasure from the 'School of Gem'.
This … is the chemical reaction of the 'Adventurer's Blood'? "
The girl elbowed him and teased with a smile.
"We are a pair … born to be good partners. Coming out on an adventure will more or less yield some gains.
Tomorrow, when we go to the Croaking Frogs Forest outside Kounsai City, it would be best if we can find the organic gem host you mentioned.
When the time comes, what kind of gem can't we make? That's real good luck.
Now, it's just that the treasure has met a prepared person at the right time. "
Elvin scratched his head, and his mind inexplicably recalled Milan's tragic state when she was "Angel's Descent" after using [Strange Fate] …
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow."
Suddenly.
"How should you fight against your fate?
How can you break through the shackles? How can you be reborn?
If you can't recognize yourself, who can you seek help from?
If you can't escape from your own shadow, how can you be truly free?
I'm not a poet
I'm not good with words
I can only speak my mind
What I think is what I say … "
A beautiful singing voice drifted into their ears.
The two were attracted by the song and could not help but move their feet. Holding hands, they came to the other side of the luxurious hotel, outside the concert hall that was so crowded that the door could not be closed.
The song came from inside the resplendent concert hall.
Through the open door and the dense audience in the aisle, the moment they saw the singer on the stage, even the knowledgeable Elvin could not help but twitch his eyelids.
"F * ck, a great enemy! How can there be such a handsome person in the world? "
Elvin thought that his appearance was already very outstanding, but this "Dolphin Prince" was a little better than him. He was really only a hundred million dou dou, staring eyes .jpg.
Soon the scene ended, and the audience who had been holding their breath and listening carefully began to scream,
"Mr. Vitas is awesome!"
"God, it's really a heavenly voice, it's worth the trip!"
"Vitas, I want to give birth to monkeys for you …"
The audience was mainly female, and they were even more fanatical than the craziest groupies in modern times.
Olivia, who was standing beside Elvin with the same splendor in her eyes, was suddenly awakened by these screams. As if she was stung by a scorpion, she frowned and moved behind Elvin.
She took out a cat's eye stone used for spiritual detection and found no abnormalities. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and quietly held Elvin's hand tightly.
The ticket seller standing at the door noticed them and walked over with a professional smile.
"Handsome sir, beautiful young lady.
Mr. Vitas is Kouncy's signature, and he has the reputation of 'Dolphin Prince'. Although his reputation is known throughout the entire South Wind Nation, he is reluctant to leave his hometown and has never left this land.
Tourists from other city-states and even many other countries come here because of his reputation, just to watch his performance.
It's simply perfect art, isn't it? "
At the same time, he added in his heart.
'Especially the beautiful ladies and ladies, no woman can resist the charm of the Dolphin Prince.'
In addition to his beautiful singing voice, the "Dolphin Prince" Vitas was actually more praised for his handsome appearance that was like a gift from God. Watching his performance was not only a musical feast, but also a visual enjoyment.
He had deep amber eyes, a chiseled face, a high nose bridge, and light pink lips. Even his figure was broad shoulders and narrow waist, it could be said to be perfect.
With all these combined, the whole person was simply like a masterpiece of God, so perfect that he should not live in the human world.
"How is it? The next scene is about to start, do you two want to buy tickets? Although there are no seats. "
The ticket seller looked at Olivia, his hand ready to tear the ticket book apart. Just as he had experienced countless times in the past, no woman could resist the charm of the "Dolphin Prince" after seeing that face.
He was also the biggest cash cow in the hotel.
However …
"No, thank you."
Olivia firmly refused and pulled Elvin away without any reluctance.
"Okay, two tickets … Eh?"
The ticket seller, who had been rejected for the first time in his career, was instantly stunned.
"A great enemy …"
.....
After a sumptuous dinner, the two of them returned to their luxurious suite on the second floor hand in hand.
Passing through the gorgeous bedroom, they arrived at the balcony with snow-white marble handrails. Colorful but not gaudy flowers decorated the small space with vines. The gentle gas lamp below the balcony illuminated a winding jade belt that flowed through the entire city.
As expected of the nation of flowers, the scenery was superb.
Leaning in Elvin's arms, Olivia, who had drunk some wine during dinner, raised a jade face that was more beautiful than flowers and smiled at her lover who was hesitating to speak.
"Hehehe, what's wrong, Mr. Red Hemlock, after seeing the inhumanly handsome Dolphin Prince, are you doubting your charm?"
Without waiting for Elvin's response, Miss Moonlight Stone had already gently closed her sapphire-like eyes and opened her rosy lips slightly, sending him a silent invitation.
There was no hesitation.
Elvin turned around and hugged Olivia's slender waist, throwing himself onto the soft bed behind them.
Pfft …
It had been more than half a year since Olivia boarded the ship. Coupled with the thirty-six times faster flow of time in the spirit world, the two of them spent more time together than many couples who had been dating for three or four years.
Some things were natural and only needed a small spark.
The two of them looked at each other and breathed in.
The girl's sweet voice was slightly hoarse.
"Hey, Elvin, have you tried it?"
Looking at the beautiful girl in his arms, Elvin felt his throat dry up.
"No … I haven't tried it."
"Why don't … we give it a try? We won't be children if we try it."
"Then … do it?"
"Do it!"
Creak —
Then, the wind that was particularly noisy tonight brought with it the annoying sound of spring.
However, the two of them, who were busy with something, did not notice at all.
In the middle of the night, a black shadow sneaked out of the hotel's back door in the loyal mental network. After leaving the city, it went straight to their destination tomorrow — Croaking Frogs Forest.
