Chapter 133 Thorn Amber
“Jiji.” The red-eyed rat king looked at Russell curiously, picking at a pile of rough rocks in the stonemason’s shop.
It also came over and tried the taste of the big stone with its teeth, but it still hurt its teeth as before.
When it was digging holes in Dikutun, it struggled with these rocks, so it soon gave up its curiosity about the big rocks.
Lying in front of the mason’s shop, he was bored and combing the increasingly shiny hair on his body.
As for Russell, he was still choosing among the stones, but he did not choose it himself. Instead, he chose the stone chosen by Xiao Menglong based on the M-shaped mark on his palm. Although he didn’t know what Xiao Menglong discovered.
But being photographed by a dream dragon is definitely not an ordinary thing.
“Could it be an ice soul bead left in the stone?” Russell thought in his mind while rummaging through the stones.
Because before, Xiao Menglong’s M-shaped mark would often burn due to sensing the Ice Grain Beads and Ice Soul Beads in the hands of the knights of the Knights. Especially every time he entered the coach’s tent, Baron Roman’s Ice Soul Pearl made little Menglong salivate.
The M-shaped mark also kept burning.
At night, in the dark dreamland, Russell needed some words from Boss Fei to stop the little dream dragon from eating Baron Roman’s Ice Soul Beads and the Ice Grain Beads that the knights had worked so hard to earn.
“If that’s true, I’ve found a big leak!” The more Russell thought about it, the happier he became, and he became even more excited when rummaging through the stones. “The ice slug beads and ice soul beads I picked up are not burdensome for little Menglong to eat, and there is no need to eat them again.” I thought about eating it secretly!”
It’s not that Russell’s moral bottom line is too high.
Instead, stealing other people’s Ice Beads and Ice Soul Beads can easily cause unnecessary trouble. It would be bad if Little Menglong was involved.
Maybe if the secret is known to Baron Roman, there won’t be any big problem. After all, they are father and son.
But if it is introduced into the Red Fort.
It is hard to imagine how the Shadow Flame family would respond, and the Shadow Flame dragon that lives in the volcano will never allow a giant dragon to grow secretly in its territory – as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.
Russell still remembered that when he was a child, he heard Baron Roman lament privately: “Never imagine dragons as the light of justice. They… are just… animals with great power and certain intelligence.”
The dragon is like this, and the flying dragon is also like this.
Russell also heard his eldest brother Roland tell stories from the past, saying that when his great-grandfather had just tamed Lord Ross, Lord Ross was still wild and wreaked havoc in the territory. It was only later that the contract deepened and Mr. Ross gradually understood human nature and became docile.
Therefore, Russell must keep the secret of Little Dream Dragon to prevent the Shadow Flame Dragon from discovering it and killing it directly to strangle Little Dream Dragon in its infancy.
Look around.
Finally, when Russell’s hand touched a seemingly ordinary large rock, the M-shaped mark exploded violently, and then dimly disappeared.
“This is it!” Russell received the reminder from Xiao Menglong.
He quickly lifted up a stone about the size of a washbasin and called to the boss who was carving a stone mill not far away: “I bought this stone.”
“Three copper plates.” The boss glanced at Russell and continued his carving.
In fact, this stone is only worth half a copper plate. The stone itself is not valuable. There is a stone mountain nearby. Its value lies entirely in the transportation cost. But now that you have entered the masonry shop, you have to add some added value.
So the boss asked for 3 copper coins.
Dang Dang Dang.
Russell took out three copper plates, placed them on the table, and left the masonry shop with the stone.
“Red-eyed, carry it.” He put the big stone on the Red-eyed Rat King’s back on the way. This weight was negligible to the Red-eyed Rat King.
Leave the market.
Going to a nearby slope, using the cover of the surrounding grass, Russell rubbed his palms and began to think about how to open the stone.
There is a vague sense of excitement like gambling on stones.
Just when he was about to pull out the green ceramic sword and split the stone, he suddenly saw the idle red eyes on the side and waved: “Here, take a bite.”
“Jiji.” The red-eyed rat king shook his head. He disliked the teeth of stones.
The red-eyed rat king reluctantly opened his mouth, cutting off his two front teeth like shovels, and directly made a gap in the big stone.
“continue.”
“Jiji.”
The red-eyed rat king swallowed it in twos and twos, and the big stone was broken into stone dregs, and then mixed with a bright orange-yellow transparent stone.
It was only the size of a meatball and not very regular in shape. As the big rocks broke, a faint magical aura began to flow and escape.
“This… is also a piece of amber!” Russell’s eyes widened instantly. Compared with the fist-sized amber that wrapped the Sword Butterfly, this piece of amber is much smaller, but its breath is just as pure. “My second amber worm, just like this Coming?”
If it weren’t for Xiao Menglong’s M-shaped mark, this amber worm would have been sealed in the big stone.
Even if a mason carves a large stone into an object, it will be difficult to expose it. It is estimated that it will take countless years before the stone sculpture is broken and can be seen again.
After wiping off the debris on the amber, Russell lifted the amber and looked at the sun to see what small animal was sealed inside.
When the sunlight shines into the amber, there is only a shriveled thing no bigger than a fingernail inside the golden and transparent amber.
“It seems like a seed?” Russell didn’t know what kind of plant seed it was.
And I was very confused: “Are there actually plant seeds in amber, and can these seeds also breed into amber worms?”
But he soon became relieved: “Plants can breed fairy bugs, why can’t amber? This bug is not that bug.”
so.
Then he immediately started the contract, scratched the tip of his index finger with his nail, squeezed out two drops of blood, and dripped on the amber stone.
In an instant, the blood seeped into the amber.
Then there was a thought in Russell’s mind. This thought was different from the original breathing sound of the sword butterfly and amber insect. It was very consistent and gentle, even like some kind of unconscious chaotic state, not like a “worm”.
At the same time, he saw the shriveled seed in the amber stone filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Click.
As the seeds swelled, the amber stone quickly shattered into powder, slipped from Russell’s fingertips, and was blown by the breeze before disappearing into the air.
Only the plump seed remained, falling into Russell’s palm.
There was not much conscious telepathy, only a vague and chaotic thought, which was introduced into Russell’s thinking with the blessing of the power of the contract.
That little thought was like a strange moan.
Moaning “germination”, “germination”…
Then this plump seed really sprouted, and it grew tiny roots and pierced directly into Russell’s palm.
No pain is felt.
Russell watched curiously as the seed took root, split, and sprouted, growing into a tiny thorn in just a few moments.
The thorns were only one finger long, swaying in the wind, and seemed to be waving to Russell.
The trivial thoughts of “germination” and “germination” turned into trivial thoughts of “sunshine” and “happiness”.
“Amber thorn worm…” Russell smiled slightly, his thoughts flashed, and the next moment, the tiny thorn turned into a ray of light and disappeared into his palm.
Only the M-shaped mark on the palm was left, shining brightly; the sword butterfly mark the size of a sesame seed danced on the edge; at the same time, at the corner of the M-shaped mark, a thorn mark slightly smaller than the sword butterfly mark appeared.
Like a tiny tentacle, swaying in the wind.
