Chapter 119 The Sealed Forbidden Land
Tu Xing had been to the national treasury once, so he was naturally familiar with the place. While selecting the crown weighing several grams, he was thinking about what to do with it.
Xue Rui: "Take your pick. It will be charged to Celilda's account."
Immediately, she fell into her own thoughts: "Her injury can't be delayed any longer. Xie Sang went there once and almost didn't come back."
“There really aren’t many powerful ones left.”
"I also unexpectedly discovered that there was another group of people there, who looked a bit like the people from Lenilaya."
The woman's expression and voice indicated that she was in a very difficult situation.
Hearing this, the white-skinned young man raised his eyes and asked, "Where exactly is it?"
Xue Rui: "You don't need to know. There are many magical creatures there. You can think of it as a sealed forbidden area."
Tu Xing's eyes sparkled, and the scene he saw when he twisted the pocket watch emerged in his mind.
Knowing he would return, he agreed to enter on the spot.
It was a lush forest, and indeed there were strange creatures from time to time, with a rainbow of colors.
I had just entered when my calf was bitten by an unknown insect. I thought it was a mosquito and didn't take it seriously.
Two hours later, the swelling was so severe that he could no longer stand and had to move forward with the help of the Breeze Spell.
As they approached their destination, a gigantic monster appeared without warning!
It resembles a dragon and a lizard, but its physique and belly are very much like an elephant.
Tu Xing did not take action, wanting to take the opportunity to see Xue Rui's strength. However, the next second, he was suddenly hit hard from behind!
Everything in front of me was pitch black, and I fell into a depression filled with mud, sand and water.
He failed to wake up before the end of the retracing time. After returning, he roughly knew what was missing and decided to postpone his entry without retracing again.
While pondering this, I randomly picked a topic: "What happens if I really can't get it back?"
The woman's expression changed slightly. "Many people will die as sacrifices."
"For the six hundred households you want to provide relief to, burning them together will be enough."
There are also some hidden threats and provocations.
Tu Xing frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed. His deliberate disguise of weakness was working.
Moreover, the secret of that place can probably only be obtained from Xue Rui, so her opinion cannot be refuted at this time.
That fruit, which is powerful enough to neutralize the backlash of the curse, will surely greatly enhance one's own strength.
Tu Xing quickly thought of someone. Although it was risky, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
He said gently, "I heard that Evander has returned. He must have made many achievements in the war. Since this time is difficult, why not bring him here?"
"He has lava patterns, and they're black and gold."
Xue Rui looked hesitant, "Him?"
Then, You You whispered, "But he's the Sultan's man. He'll leak... the news of his illness."
Tu Xing's eyes flickered quickly. Was he deliberately hiding something?
No wonder I had never heard of Celilda's backlash before.
Although both of these two people are in the highest positions and have interests tied together, they obviously do not trust each other as much as they appear.
Xue Rui seemed to realize that she had spoken out of turn and added, "To be precise, Evander is only loyal to the Sultan."
"Unlike you, you are loyal to two people at the same time. If you rashly let him go, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Tu Xing lowered his head and selected the two heaviest crowns. They were so heavy that they felt like his head was going to fall off when he put them on.
"These two, let's check if they are commemorative items."
Xue Rui gestured for them to go outside and asked, "What kind of commemorative significance can it have? They were just stolen."
They left one after the other, following Celilda's orders, and had a smooth journey.
The crown was quickly melted down and minted into gold coins.
Inside the foundry, the sound of iron hammering continued, and the air was dry and stuffy.
The big man was covered in sweat, his skin darker than the others. "Sir, the casting will take about three days."
Xue Rui's face was stern. "Finish it within half a day. According to these two grams, I will first give you the same weight of gold coins."
The big man shook his head and said in embarrassment, "It's about 130 gold coins. You need to ask His Majesty for instructions."
"The gold coins can't be with me, or with our master, Feiya."
Xue Rui looked at Tu Xing and sighed, her eyes full of disgust and trouble, "Then let's find Feiya first."
After saying that, she turned and was about to leave.
Tu Xing called out to everyone, "Wait."
His eyes fell on the gold melting in the bucket, and he deeply realized that... thirty gold coins were really unrealistic.
There were only a little over 130 crowns for the two, which was still far from the target number.
Tu Xing's eyes lit up with thought. "So, if we cast them into gold beans, they'd weigh about five grams, and there would be nearly... eight hundred of them."
The big man praised, "You calculated really quickly, it is indeed about this much, then the small one will start now."
Tu Xing raised his head and motioned him to start, "Don't worry about the smoothness of the surface, just try to make it look bigger."
The other party immediately accepted the order, which was a relatively common request. "It will be much faster than making gold coins."
Ye Qide popped up from the back and said, "Get a seal, put 'Royal Chief Executive' on it, and put it in the middle. Wouldn't that make it look bigger?"
"Besides, since you're the only one fighting for this, it's natural for them to know who's working hard."
Tu Xing tilted his head, and Ye Qide chuckled, "Housai Yin is still waiting for us. He chatted with us for a while, so he knows we're trying to get the pension, not eavesdropping."
Hearing this, Tu Xing looked forward and looked at the big man: "Is it convenient?"
The big man paused. "It's convenient. It only takes about ten minutes. The main thing is that carving the characters is quite complicated."
"Since this is an urgent order from Celilda, I'll go find the master craftsman to make it for you."
Tu Xing nodded slightly, "Thank you."
The big man looked at the people and started to get busy.
Tu Xing praised Ye Qide: "It's a good idea. This way, the thousand or so coins above can be exchanged for six thousand...six hundred gold beans."
"...if each household gets twelve, it won't look so shabby anymore."
He then looked at Xue Rui and said, "Actually, not much."
Xue Rui rolled her eyes.
Ye Qide: "No way, it's good enough to have money. If you protest, you won't even get a single gold nugget."
It took an hour for the eight hundred gold beans to be collected, and the final product looked more like a small flat gold badge.
The two full bags looked heavy.
Tu Xing: "Give me the seal first, I'll get it back in three days. There are still gold coins to be melted over there."
It was just a few pieces of metal like steel, and the big man handed it over with both hands.
Two burly men each picked up a bag and carried it on their shoulders, and the four of them walked towards the gate.
Halfway through, Xue Rui saw that the routes were diverging and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, you should report to the Master Mage."
"Let the two behind you handle the distribution of the gold coins. The words printed on them are enough to show that it is your contribution."
Tu Xing lowered his head slightly: "From what you said, that thing is particularly difficult, so you want to make a weapon outside, you..."
As he spoke, he glanced up and down, "Do you have a weapon? Do you want to come with us?"
Xue Rui frowned deeply, "What kind of weapon?"
Tu Xing: "A medium-length sickle will also be convenient for digging out what the adults want."
Perhaps because her needs were met, Xue Rui compromised, but very reluctantly: "How many days?"
