Chapter 168: Which company
has the best earthworm breeding technology? There is a natural strait south of the New World in the north.
There are scattered houses on the shore of the strait, which was once the site of the Northern Temple Army.
With the liberation of Yancheng, slave traders were expelled and eliminated. Most people migrated to Yancheng or Yaocheng, but a small number stayed.
With the frequent comings and goings of adventurers, scholars, merchants, sailors, fishermen and pharmacists, people gradually settled here for a long time. This place now has a new name: Straits Wharf.
At this time, in the Strait Quay Tavern, two men were drinking hot ale with baked potatoes.
"So, Fabiani, do you think that the key to this world is underground?"
Pava looked at the person sitting opposite him curiously.
Fabiani swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with his hand: "The two places where people can go are the ocean and the land. There are too many dangers in the ocean, and humans are life on land. Yes, I think the truth may be hidden underground."
"Like, splitting an earthworm?"
Pava smiled and said, "You are the first person to discover the split earthworm. Although the gods gave it a name, many people privately call it the Fabiani earthworm."
Fabiani shook his head: "I was just lucky. Now those guys have become the dragon's livestock."
"Another drink?"
"No. I drink to keep warm, not to get drunk."
Fabiani exhaled a breath of white air, and his unshaven mouth slowly opened and closed: "I was once a prophet of a fallen old god."
Pava remained calm, as if he had known all this for a long time.
"After witnessing the collapse of the statue and the disappearance of the miracle, I was confused for a long time and didn't know what to do. The omniscience displayed by Yao Shen made me feel that no matter what an ordinary person like me does, it is meaningless..."
"Later, I went to many places, including Yancheng, Yaocheng, Saniluo, the East Continent, overseas, the new continent where the southern elves live, and then here."
"Over the past decade or so, I have discovered that the underground is a place that is ignored by most people. The lost history and truth of the past have been preserved because they are buried underground."
"Cave dwellers are descendants of ancient humans. There are many caves and ruins underground, but these have not received much attention so far."
"I once heard from a dying caveman that many epochs ago, the continent was not yet divided and was much more vast than it is now. At that time, there was a rose kingdom on the ground."
"The Rose Kingdom cultivated many roses. Those roses were extraordinary beings. At that time, humans and roses ruled the world together..."
Pavar's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Have you found the remains of this ancient kingdom?"
Fabiani shook his head. “I was just looking everywhere, and I found split earthworms underground… I was really scared at the time, and they chased me all the way. I finally realized that they wanted to eat the sour raspberries and berries in my backpack.”
"So that's how it is."
Pava opened his diary and wrote with charcoal pencil: "It seems that it is a good idea to bring more food when you go out. Archaeologist Fabiani has experienced it personally."
“…”
Fabiani asked, "Why would the earthworm go to the dragon's nest?"
He passed by the dragon's nest from a distance and saw large earthworms roaming around, breaking through the thick ice and plowing over the lumpy soil. It was a spectacular scene.
"I know that."
Pava took a sip of wine and said, "It's a gift for the Dragon King."
"You know what's happening over there at the Elf Lake, right? Some people have learned to give gifts to the elves, build tree houses and pools for them, plant tree seeds and grass seeds, and build friendships in order to get treasure chests in the lake. But the elves are getting smarter now, and they're no longer stupid enough to give treasure chests to people casually."
"Some adventurers want to use the same method to establish a good relationship with the Dragon King and see if they can get some treasures."
"Although it's not easy to meet the Dragon King, there is a baby dragon in the dragon's nest. Giving it a gift might be helpful."
Fabiani frowned, "But dragons and elves are completely different creatures."
Pava stabbed a potato with a fork and said, "Split earthworms are the favorite food of supernatural creatures."
"Whether it's Piranhas, Firecrackers, Sandworms, or Murlocs, they all like split earthworms. That's why merchants are scrambling to buy them everywhere right now."
"It is said that split earthworms will continue to divide themselves, but they need a large area of land. The wider and more fertile the land, the faster they grow."
"These giant earthworms were originally sent to the dragon's nest as food, or tribute."
Fabiani was stunned for a moment, and then he had a new doubt: "But here in the Dragon's Nest, it seems that there are a lot of earthworms... and that snowman is still selling them to the public, what's going on?"
"Who knows?"
Pava recalled: "I went to the Dragon's Nest with the Blast Furnace Adventure Group and met a snowman. It was a very special snowman."
"When I first saw it, I thought it was a little silly, but later I thought it was very smart. The Yeti couldn't understand things that normal people took for granted. It called itself the butler of the Dragon's Nest... The Yeti also sold earthworms."
The area around the Dragon's Nest is vast, and although it is cold, the split earthworms can still live normally by hiding deep underground. In a few years, this place has become the place with the most split earthworms in the world.
Of course, all the earthworms around here are the property of the Dragon's Nest and belong to the Dragon King Pasha.
Fabiani rubbed his face vigorously with his rough hands: "The boat is about to set sail, let's talk while we walk."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The two men walked out of the pub one after the other, and were immediately sobered up by the cold wind blowing in their faces.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. The ice giant raised earthworms outside the dragon's nest and sold them to the outside world... This is completely different from the dragon's nest I imagined." The archaeologist sighed.
Pava also smiled bitterly: "In the first draft of the Dragon's Nest chapter I conceived, the Dragon's Nest was written as a dangerous sacred place, and challenging the dragon clan represented the highest courage and resistance to fear... Who would have thought that in just a few years, the Dragon's Nest would become a centralized market for selling earthworms, and the Straits Wharf would prosper because of it."
Fabiani suddenly thought: "Does Long need money? He shouldn't be short of money, right?"
Pava rubbed his hands and said, "Anyway, the Dragon King must be very rich now. He may soon become the richest one. It is said that half of the split earthworms in Saniluo City are imported from here."
"The earthworms in the Dragon's Nest grow incredibly fast and are very strong. Their meat is firm, especially the black earthworms, which are extremely valuable...Reality is always stranger than imagination."
"The only problem is that all the Dragon's Nest chapters I wrote are ruined."
Pava pressed down his rabbit-ear hat and looked forward with a depressed look.
The ice monster was tying up thick brown-red earthworms with ropes and stuffing them into boxes at the dock. Then the sailors used wheelbarrows to carry the boxes onto the ship and put them into the cargo hold.
The galleys left one after another, fully loaded, and new merchant ships came in the distance.
Everyone knows the dangers of entering a dragon's lair.
But no one can be sure whether they can get the treasure.
However, there are ships docking at the Strait Wharf outside the Dragon Nest for a long time. You can earn a small fortune just by working as a helper at the wharf or as a sailor on a ship.
Many young people come from far away to work and earn money here.
Pava looked up at the sky.
Lord Yao, did you name the creature Split Earthworm just to make dragons and humans live in peace? The power and wisdom of the gods are incredible.
Fabiani stepped onto the deck of the galley and waved to the man at the dock: "Goodbye."
Pava came to his senses and shouted, "Please give my regards to Mayor Tonghai."
The archaeologist nodded and pulled the sackcloth bag on his back. "Please be careful."
"Please rest assured, God Yao is with us." Pavaha let out a breath.
Fabiani also said seriously: "God Yao is with us!"
