Chapter 058 The Most Precious Gift (XII)
During the three days flying to the Golden Lake in the south, Dong Jin truly felt what it meant to be famous throughout the continent.
Because of the overly dramatic weather changes before and after he obtained the golden olive branch, the legend of him being tested by the gods had been modified countless times, and it had inexplicably become a fact recognized by the world.
It was outrageous!
For a moment, Dong Jin really wanted to do some anti-fraud propaganda for the people on this continent.
However, fame had already been thrown into his arms, so he simply made the most of it.
So when he was on the road, he no longer stayed in the temple, but lived in the temple and the tavern.
Through his behavior of opening the "eyes of truth" in temples and taverns these days, and the masterpieces of the bards that have long been spread everywhere, not only the priests, but also the common people are now fully aware of the title of "God of Daylight and Truth".
When Dong Jin finally arrived at the territory of the Golden Lake and entered the busiest tavern at random, the first movement of "New Continent" happened to sound in this noisy place.
After that, he didn't know how many times he heard the poem written for him.
"The night he entered the temple of the gods,"
"The merciful gods cast a glimpse of mercy on the world."
"The moon lingered for him, and ecstasy played music for him,"
"The drama that will be remembered for all time begins here."
"The agent patrols the world for the gods."
"He gave him eyes that see through everything,"
"Let him pass through three tests,"
"Give him the crown of daylight and truth..."
One has to admit that the most famous bard is really good at bragging.
Just when Dong Jin thought that the lyrics that followed were still the ones he was used to, he found that they had even kept up with the times based on his latest experience.
"With a sincere wish,"
"he came to the edge of the desert of death."
"In the endless night,"
"Thunder and lightning under the storm,"
"Is it the sudden wrath of God,"
"Or is it an unspeakable attachment?"
When the poet sang "Storm," the melody of the first movement just reached the stage where the timpani sounded again, and at first it sounded like thunder. Then the melody slowed down again, and the poet's voice softened.
"The clear day,"
"Witnessed his incomparable radiance,"
"He stepped on the miracle of victory,"
"Once again gradually faded away in the rainbow light..."
Dong Jin sat and listened to the first movement for nearly five minutes. By the end, even he couldn't help but wonder who the mysterious and unique hero in the poem was.
But the people around him thought it was sung very realistically. As soon as the quarter of the song was finished, they applauded.
At this time, the bard who was singing poetry in the center of the tavern stopped plucking the strings of his harp, stood up and spoke in a clear voice: "After listening to the deeds of the agent a few days ago, I realized how shallow what I wrote was."
"How can mortals imagine the brilliance of the sun before seeing it with their own eyes?"
"The poem I just sang is my new work after revision, and it is still in an unfinished state. I believe that after the unique agent of God passes all the tests, the new epic will be completed. Then I will come here again to dedicate a complete song to you." As soon
as the voice fell, the applause around him instantly became more enthusiastic.
So this is the most famous bard in the whole continent that the high priest mentioned?
Thinking of this, Dong Jin inadvertently raised his hooded eyes and scanned the other person for a moment.
——Very good, an ordinary person.
He met Kai when he left the Thunder Temple before, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, fearing that the other party would change his face and cause trouble for him on a whim. Fortunately, this bard is normal except that the lyrics are a bit corny.
As for the other party wanting to change the poem, just change it.
After the first two copies, Dong Jin has become so thick-skinned that he will not be embarrassed to listen to all the compliments in person.
It's just that although this poet sings first-class, how did his lyrics level rank first in the mainland?
Puzzled, Dong Jin looked at the bard again.
When he saw that the other party asked the people around him about the possible location of the Golden Lake as soon as he finished singing, and then ran towards it with the luxurious and heavy lyre in his hand, he seemed to have guessed the other party's path to fame.
——Maybe he didn't become famous by writing lyrics, but by his courage to die wildly at the forefront.
This person just said that he wanted to witness it with his own eyes, and the next second he did it without any falsehood.
Unfortunately, he seemed to run the wrong way.
Afterwards, Dong Jin didn't listen to the true and false news told by the drinkers around him, but turned on the "eye of truth" to look at the ground where the poet ran. At this time, the surface displayed:
[Ordinary ground: gold sand content 0.01%.]
After a casual glance, he changed direction and continued to look for the second time.
[More ordinary ground: 0.1% gold sand content.]
While watching, Dong Jin did not forget to continue playing his coin tossing trick: "Hmm? It seems that this direction is not my lucky route. Let's change direction and toss again..."
As Dong Jin kept watching, he finally made a preliminary decision to go south and walk for a while.
Because the description of the land in the south is like this:
[Not so ordinary ground: 1% gold sand content, if you keep walking along here, you may become rich overnight.]
It is said that the Golden Lake is a secret treasure given by the God of Wealth, hidden in the center of a gold mine. And all objects washed by the lake water will have a layer of the highest purity gold on their surface.
The south of the mainland is full of gold mines and mountains. For others, the most likely way to locate the Golden Lake among these piles of mines is to rely on luck. The reason why the legend of the Golden Lake spread to the world was precisely because a lucky person had encountered it by chance.
Dong Jin thought he didn't have that kind of luck, but he could rely on his eyes.
After all, the effect of the Golden Lake is there, so it can be inferred that the ground around it must have a very high content of gold sand.
Not only the Golden Lake, but also the golden olive tree can be found in a similar way. If Lei Ming hadn't used thunder to almost blind him, he could have found the golden olive tree even faster.
After complaining about the god of night and drama, Dong Jin kept changing directions and walked for a day and a night. With the rise and fall of the coin, the gold sand content of the ground under his feet gradually reached 90%.
If Dong Jin was willing to bend down and move away the pile of golden sand on the top of the surface, he would immediately become the richest man in the entire continent. He didn't even have to bend down, as the wealth was within his reach - because at this moment, the Golden Lake was just one step away from him.
"...Why are you here?"
Being famous has its advantages and disadvantages for Dong Jin. Now everyone knows that he is going to take on three challenges, and those who are a little bit capable can find out what the three things he wants are by doing some careful research.
When he was chasing the golden olive tree, a trialist had already started looking for the Golden Lake.
And that person did find it.
The person who found the lake faster than him was Dieter, who didn't have time to retreat at this time.
Dieter arrived only about a quarter of an hour earlier than Dong Jin. His talent was called "Clues", which enabled him to discover many details that were obvious or not. But even with this talent, Dietl took nearly eight days to find the Golden Lake.
He had just filled a jug of water when he turned around and saw Dongjin staring at him with a calming breath in the distance.
Didn't this man go to the desert?
What is his talent? How can he find things so quickly? !
Half surprised and half alert, Dietl finally asked the top question.
The Golden Lake is indeed beautiful.
Whether it is its pure and dazzling color or its expensive symbolic meaning, it is enough for countless people to praise it.
But the lake's ability to gild everything is a double-edged sword in a sense - because at this moment, there is no large shelter around the Golden Lake except for some golden flowers and plants. So Dieter has nowhere to hide.
After assessing the strength of himself and Dong Jin, Dieter surrendered directly: "I never intended to be your enemy."
"If you want, I can leave immediately and never reveal the location of the Golden Lake to anyone."
Dieter originally wanted to use the lake water as a trading resource to exchange more rare treasures with those priests. However, for him, a piece of Golden Lake is of course better, but a pot of Golden Lake water is barely enough.
On his way to find the lake water, he also met two trialists from the same universe as Dong Jin.
Those two troublesome guys are really disgusting people. They didn't even look for Huangjin Lake, but just followed him all the way, and they wanted to announce to the world that they were going to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Dieter had finally managed to get rid of them yesterday, and he didn't know when they would catch up.
If the man and woman were really lucky enough to find this place, when the three of them joined together, he would be a fish on the chopping board.
Rather than falling to that realm, it's better to stop while you're ahead.
Thinking of this, Dieter lowered his posture and said, "You shouldn't regard me as an opponent, after all, I only got one MVP."
For other trialists, being able to appear on the big screen of each universe once is already a supreme honor.
But Dieter knows his own limitations.
According to the current trend, as long as he gets one less MVP, it means that he has no chance of winning the final FMVP. Compared to the monsters that dominated the list, he had already fallen behind.
Otherwise, Oz would not have taken the initiative to propose cooperation with him before - Oz did so, which obviously meant that he was expelled from the opponent group.
Thinking of Oz's alms attitude, Dieter turned around and sold him out completely: "Although you should have known this, I still want to say it again - Oz asked me to help him get rid of you on the first night of the dungeon, and I refused him without hesitation."
"It's not that I don't have the strength, but I won't overestimate my own abilities."
Every word Dieter said was sincere, and he was very good at showing weakness and shifting contradictions.
Dong Jin had been thinking about whether to root out the problem completely, and after hearing these words, the balance in his heart did tilt slightly towards letting this man go.
Dietel said one thing that was very right.
He did not put Dietel on the top list of targets.
Call him arrogant or conceited, but for this kind of God's choice who could easily lose a thousand miles with a slight difference, once he fell behind, it would mean losing everything.
Dietel had already lost, and he was still at the top.
So he would never retreat, and he could never retreat.
If he lost an MVP once, his fate would be a million times worse than Dietel's.
And in order to fight for the top MVP this time with all his strength, he had to stay alive as much as possible and wait for the fourth movement of "New Continent" to be played - that was when he should really risk his life.
Now that Dietel has chosen to show weakness to him, no matter what the reason, this guy's popularity will plummet. Based on this point alone, Dietel's ranking this time will not be higher than his.
In other words, under different circumstances of the competition track, they suddenly have the premise of temporarily shaking hands and making peace.
Thinking of this, Dong Jin suddenly laughed.
He looked at Dietel, who was waiting for his answer in a polite manner, and then unexpectedly invited him:
"Perhaps, you are interested in a short cooperation with me?"
Cooperation? Dietel was a little confused about Dong Jin's intention for a while.
But it doesn't matter.
If he really has to choose an individual to cooperate with from the two consecutive MVP trialists, then there is no doubt that he will only choose Dong Jin.
Because Oz is just a monster, and Dong Jin is a monster among monsters.
As a person who knows the current situation, he will of course choose the stronger one.
