At this time, the waiter handed over a letter of commission: "This is the commission document. From this moment on, you are the commander-in-chief of this expedition. I give you the same opportunity as Clark. I hope you won't let me down." Gustav spoke again after he took the commission document.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Bartlet slowly walked out of the palace with the letter of appointment. After he turned around, every step he took felt extremely light.
"My long-cherished wish can finally be fulfilled today. I will make sure that everyone on the continent knows of my existence." Bartlet encouraged himself with his rekindled ambition.
Everyone was busy, including Lin Xingchen. He was dug out of bed early in the morning on the second day after he returned to the construction site. He was very irritated and walked out of the tent with a gloomy face. The messenger told him that the dormant snake had run out of the cave.
After hearing the news, his already stretched face became even more embarrassed, but he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it. After all, the iron ore it needed was right under the butt of the gold-eating python.
He hurriedly got on the magic butterfly car and flew to the mine. Looking at the kind people below, Lin Xingchen felt that things seemed to be getting serious.
"Didn't Lord Lester tell you not to wake it up? What's the situation now?"
"Xiao Xingchen, I'm very sorry. You know the importance of iron ore, so we have no choice. We originally wanted to kill it while it was dormant.
I didn't expect that the defense of this worm was so strong that a level nine warrior couldn't make a single cut on it even with his full-strength attack. Finally, the worm started to hurt people after it woke up. If it weren't for the magicians present, the casualties would probably exceed a hundred. "Lester told him the situation and the reason.
"What's the situation now? Is the snake still there?" Greed kills...
"After the giant snake devoured a few people, it returned to its cave. We didn't dare to chase it in for the time being. We just happened to hear that you were back, so we asked someone to invite you here."
"Luckily, I went home this time to find out the origin of this snake. You find me a quiet place while I prepare some medicine. We will kill it when it's done so as to avoid delaying Lord Leicester from making money." Everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in Lin Xingchen's words, but the Duke of Leicester couldn't say much. After all, they had been asked to wait for a few days, and it was they who made the mistake first.
The magic burning potion was not difficult for him to make, but this time he needed too many things. According to Lester's description, this gold-devouring python was at least ten meters long and had a trunk as thick as a water tank. A body of this size would definitely require a lot of potions to achieve the effect of making it collapse as the ancestor said.
I regret that I didn't ask about the approximate dosage at the beginning. Now I can only estimate based on my body size.
After working for a whole morning, he managed to finish the job. He called Lester in and pointed at several sealed beakers on the table. "Sir Lester, this snake is called the Abyss Swallowing Python. It has an incredibly strong defense. We can only kill it from inside its body. These potions are what kill it. Now go and make arrangements so that we can lure the snake out after we are full."
Fortunately, nothing disturbed his lunch, so Lin Xingchen was able to have a good meal in peace. He asked someone to find a lot of firewood, both dry and wet, and after lighting it, it kept blowing smoke into the cave.
Soon the golden python rushed out, and everyone who had been instructed began to attack. The two level nine warriors in Leicester each held a bottle of potion and waited for the opportunity.
More than a dozen magicians formed a magic team. The continuous bombardment made the snake very manic. Fortunately, the snake did not release the abyss breath like Darcy did, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Like Lester, standing aside and watching others fighting hard, I feel somewhat comfortable in my heart after all, it is better for me to let my friends die than for myself.
The expert who was constantly moving his position at the side saw an opportunity and took decisive action, but unfortunately he missed it by a little bit and the whole bottle of potion was wasted.
There were only three jars left out of the four big jars. Both of them failed in their two attempts. This situation made Lin Xingchen and other people who knew the situation anxious.
"Little Xingchen, think of a solution quickly. If this goes on, the potion will be wasted!" Lester was upset.
"Sir Lester, I feel more sorry for you than you do, but I have thought of a solution which will cost a lot of money." His method was very simple, but such help could not be free.
"Oh... Little Xingchen, don't be stingy at this time. Kill this snake first. If there is anything else later, I, your grandfather, will owe you something!" Lester was really at a loss at this time. He was extremely anxious here, but this guy was still worried that he would cheat him out of money.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" With a wave of his hand, the magic butterfly that was originally used to pull the cart flew to his side and took out a can of potion. Fortunately, this magic butterfly was a magical beast after all, so it could still lift it, and most importantly, its speed would not be a problem.
Under his command, the magic butterfly kept flying around the big mouth of the golden python. Under this circumstance, those who attacked naturally understood how to cooperate.
Great force can make miracles happen. Although the Golden Devouring Python has strong defense, it is still very painful to be hit by the two warriors. Several heavy blows on its body forced it to open its mouth wide.
At this moment, the magic butterfly flew into its mouth with the potion: "Alas... I lost one of my magic butterfly..." Lin Xingchen said with great sadness.
"It's okay, as long as you kill this big snake, I will compensate you..." Lester said absent-mindedly.
As the potion entered the golden python's mouth, the death from poison that everyone imagined never happened.
"Oh my... Little Xingchen! Does your method really work? Why doesn't it seem like it's poisoned yet?"
"Old Duke, you have seen such a big snake, so you should at least give it a few minutes!" Lin Xingchen was actually very unsure whether the old ancestor's words would work.
After waiting for about a few minutes, the people who surrounded the golden python discovered something unusual: "There is a reaction, the potion has a reaction!"
Hearing this, everyone stared at the gold-swallowing python. Its originally round body was bulging with egg-sized bags, which were beating rhythmically. As long as the gold-swallowing python moved, they would keep popping out.
The bulging of these bags made the golden python roll over in pain, and naturally the number of bulges increased. This lasted for about a few minutes, and the golden python opened its big mouth and continuously vomited things out, first some black iron lumps and then flesh and blood. The whole snake seemed to have been crushed from the inside, with internal organs and other substances constantly flowing out.
Looking at the motionless gold-swallowing python, its original arrogant look is long gone, and its thick body is now deflated, which is very uncomfortable to look at.
"Someone come and cut open its head to see if its magic core is there." Lester is not a fool. If he gets the magic core of a ninth-level monster, all the losses will be recovered.
The men searched the snake's head to pieces but couldn't find the magic core. "What's going on, little Xingchen? Isn't it a magical beast? How come there is no magic core for the whole year?"
"Sir Lester, I never said it was a monster. I only told you that it is called the Abyss Gold-Swallowing Python, but I didn't say it is a monster." Lin Xingchen was not to blame for this, because his ancestors had told him a long time ago that the Gold-Swallowing Python was between a monster and a wild beast, and it did not have the magic core unique to monsters. If it had to have a name, his ancestors said it was a ferocious beast.
"Well... now that this thing has been killed, let's get to work! I will compensate for all the losses..." Lester was obviously a little disappointed.
Maybe he was born to work hard. Less than a month after he had been bragging and chatting with the workers at the construction site, Maple Leaf Leader sent him an urgent letter.
He let the magic butterfly that had seen him off go and play by himself, and when he opened the letter and read the contents, he became very angry.
"What's wrong, Lin? Did something happen?" Roy asked with concern.
"The Sharpnero Empire sent troops again seven days ago, and it seems that they are targeting Fengye." Lin Xingchen looked a little unhappy as he held the letter.
"The reason why an empire is called an empire is not because they are invincible, but because they can afford to lose. A kingdom is different. Once it loses, it basically has no chance of recovery.
Moreover, the Sharpnero Empire has done this more than once. If the Maple Leafs had lost, they might not have come again. Unfortunately, we won at that time, which was a great humiliation for them. "Roy said this calmly.
"I can't believe you know all this?"
"These are all taught by teachers a long time ago. Your basic knowledge is too poor to know these." Think about how to deal with it! I can tell you that if you win this time, they will come back soon.
"Thank you for your reminder Roy. I'll go back first. I'll trouble you with the things here." Lin Xingchen didn't dare to stay for long. After arranging things, he went straight to the royal capital.
Queen Lydia and others also received the news, and they were a little flustered when they saw Lin Xingchen's arrival. The last time it could be said to be an accident, but this time according to the news from the caravan, they were heading straight for the Kurma Kingdom.
"Lin, what do you think is the chance that the Empire's troops are coming for us this time?" Although the queen was anxious, her face remained calm.
"Do you really want to hear my analysis?" He had analyzed it carefully on the way here and felt that this was not an accident but a revenge.
"I advise you not to have any lucky thoughts. This time the Empire sent troops to target us, and I seriously suspect that they intend to defeat us in one battle."
