Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Chapter 40

--

Yan Xiu stood there not knowing how to answer Morti's question.As far as he is concerned, it is not good for him to know too many people about the gem tree, and it may even bring him danger.It's just... Yan Xiu raised his head to look at Moerti. The dragon had a confident expression on his face, as if it was predicted that he must have secrets related to gems.What is it based on...

Besides, "gem, with flavor?"

Receiving Yan Xiu's suspicious look, Moerti exhaled from his nose, "We dragons have a very sensitive sense of smell, especially for things we like. When we are robbing...cough, we have never smelled gems. Can't smell it wrong."

After listening to Moerti's words, Yan Xiu thought of the dragons described in the 21st century who like to snatch treasures and princesses... Is this actually based on the fact that they have a strong sense of smell ==?

"Cough, maybe you would like to know why Nas brought you and your partner back." Morti was very interested in the secrets of this human being, how could it be only interested in gems after living for so long?Seeing that Yan Xiu seemed to be looking at him seriously, Morte didn't hold back, "It's better to let Nass say it himself."

Moerti's eyes turned to Nas who was shrunk aside, and Yan Xiu's eyes naturally turned to him.Nas received the sight of one dragon and one person, and the huge dragon's mouth opened and closed, and he talked about the situation at that time, "...When I arrived, I beat the earth dragon aside to prevent it from destroying the stone wall. When I was about to leave At that time, I saw a strange tree growing out of the body of the earth dragon, and Hughes was in that tree."

Nas's tone was sincere and there was no sign of lying.After hearing what Nas said, Yan Xiu didn't know what happened to him?He was indeed swallowed by the earth dragon, and he himself remembered this, but he didn't have any memory of what happened afterwards.

"I do not remember."

It can be said that Yan Xiu's reply was completely within Moerti's expectations, no one would easily reveal their secrets, especially when they were not of the same race.

——It’s just that this human’s words sounded too blunt and completely without sincerity, and even the expression was as rigid as at the beginning. Isn’t this human being pretending to be stupid.

"Ahem." Morte coughed twice to save the sudden silence, "Is there anything else strange, Nas?"

"I don't know if it counts or not, Great Elder Morti." Nas shrank in the corner hesitantly, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Go ahead."

"Hughes—" Naston paused, seeing his huge body in Yan Xiu's dark eyes, "very weak."

……

Yan Xiu: "..."

Moerti greeted Nas with a dragon claw, and grinned apologetically at Yan Xiu, although in Yan Xiu's eyes, Moerti just opened his mouth ferociously. "Nas, this guy doesn't have a lot of brains, please don't worry about it."

"Compared with this, I think Hughes must be more interested in knowing what that tree is?" Morte gave Nass a fierce look, "Nass, tell me what you saw."

"Uh, I don't know what that tree is. But it looks different from ordinary trees. It's transparent, without leaves, and shiny and bare." Nas's description is very simple, but Yan Xiu is almost as good as Nas. When you're done, you know what it is.This is something he is all too familiar with, the gem tree.

Morte, who failed to see the expression on Yan Xiu's face, thought for a while, and put his huge tail on the ground quietly, "Although I'm not sure what your secret is, but in our In my long life, you are not the first guy I have seen with such a strange aura. I have seen a few guys with this kind of gemstone aura before, some like humans and some like elves. It’s a pity, They can't understand what I'm saying. But I guess you don't mind hearing me say these things?"

"...Please speak." The dark golden dragon in front of his eyes was completely occupied by Yan Xiu, and Yan Xiu was seriously waiting for its next words.

"I don't know your secrets, nor those people's secrets. After all, I can't communicate with them like you." Moerti considered his own words, "According to the breath on your body, I can easily communicate with you." To be sure, Hughes, you are not a human right now. Please don’t be surprised, the dragon’s judgment of race does not rely solely on general cognition, but more on breath. Your breath is not what humans have.”

Morte didn't give Yan Xiu a chance to speak, and the wings on his back swayed according to his words, "Human breath is always mixed with many things, it's not as clean as elves, not as bold as dwarves, and complicated. Any race can be recognized as a human being at a glance. But Hughes, you are different, your breath is like a gem."

——The description is too abstract to understand.

Yan Xiu felt like he wanted to say something but didn't know where to say it, and he panicked.

"What am I not human?"

"I don't know." Moerti did not ignore Yan Xiu's dull face, and stared straight at himself with dark eyes, "Anyway, you are not human. You must be different from humans now, maybe you just haven't noticed it. As for your race, those people are the same as you, but they look like a certain race speaks that race's language, but they don't have the breath that that race should have. I think you and them should be of the same race-this is also my speculation."

Without Yan Xiu's reaction, Moerti continued to talk about what he knew, "They have secrets like you, and they always have countless gems. Sorry, I think you can understand the dragon's love for gems. favorites. They are the most welcome guests to our dragon family, even if there is no way to communicate well."

With a dragon's favorite gemstone, can you be unpopular?

Yan Xiu stood there dumbfounded, he could no longer ignore Moerti's increasingly eager gaze.He reached out and took out a 渃德 spar and handed it to Morte.There is a small gemstone in the huge dragon claw. Moerti has no dissatisfaction at all, but happily accepts the spar from Yan Xiu, "That tree..."

"I'll ask Nas to retrieve it for you. It must be responsible for this, right?" Moerti seemed to be in a good mood when he received the spar from Yan Xiu, and he was also more polite to Nas. "You seem a little tired, why don't you take a good rest? Please stay here until the next time Glustar rises."

When Nas grabbed him and flew into the sky again, Yan Xiu was not agitated.He got unimaginable news from Morty, and he needed to digest it.

Yan Xiu never thought that he would break away from the race and reach the realm of inhumanity.What Moerti said might be false, but he couldn't think of a reason why Morti, who is a dragon, would deceive him. Besides, if he was really one of the most popular guests, then it would be even more difficult to find Moerti. Alti cheated on his reasons.

So, he is really inhuman now?

Putting the fact that he was a non-human being to the back of his mind, Yan Xiu felt that the purpose of Moerte telling him these news was very simple - for gems==.Morte also mentioned that those people have countless gems, which is a great temptation for dragons who like gems.Telling him these news is nothing more than to confirm whether he has gems here, and whether he is worthy of their attention.

Once confirmed, Yan Xiu felt that he might be the safest person with Julong.According to the dragon's love for gems, it should be a lot better for him to love Wujiwu.As for worrying about whether the dragon will force him to hand over the gems... They don't know where his gems come from, and they don't know what his secrets related to the gems are, so they won't do it so simply.What's more, judging from Morty's tone, it should have reached a certain degree of consensus with those people rather than violent cooperation.

After confirming his personal safety, Yan Xiu felt much more at ease.However, Yan Xiu was very concerned about the possible mutation of the gemstone tree.

Yan Xiu, who was thinking about his own affairs, didn't notice that Nas had brought him back to the place where Dewey was before, and Shana had already pawed at Nasby from a distance.

"Hughes, we're here." Nas fell to the ground with a bang, carefully placed Hughes on the ground, and grinned fawningly.

Seeing the ferocious face of the giant dragon at close range still made Yan Xiu's heart beat a little faster, "Thank you."

"Hughes! Elder Morty didn't make things difficult for you!" Shanna was very happy to see that Nas brought Hughes back.It has been obediently looking at the human lying on the ground, and then waited for Hughes to come back.Hughes is the first human it knows and can communicate with, and it is very happy.

"No. Thank you, Shana." Dewey, who was lying on the same spot, was no different from before he left. Yan Xiu raised his head and thanked Shana nicely.

It was a great help for the red dragon to be able to watch Dewey here so honestly.

"Oh, you're so kind, Hughes." Shanna obviously had a crush on Yan Xiu. "What did the Great Elder tell you?"

"Hey Shana, you must not know that the Great Elder said that Hughes is not a human being." Nas interrupted the conversation excitedly, and sat down next to Shana with his huge golden body.

"I'm a human being." Yan Xiu didn't like being out of the scope of human beings.

"The Great Elder says you are not." Nas received another dragon claw from Shana on the head, "I said Shana, you are like a mother dragon holding an egg now, and Hughes is your egg!"

Yan Xiu no longer wanted to pay attention to the scene where Nas was beaten by the furious Shanna.Sitting next to Dewey, carefully watching Dewey's pale face.The dark purple hair seemed to be lifeless, hanging down to the side in a mess.His clothes were also tattered and shapeless, and his body was covered with lumps of dark green herbs.Dewey's situation couldn't be worse now.

If he hadn't been in the way, Dewey probably wouldn't have been so bad.

"Hughes?"

Hearing Nas' cry, Yan Xiu withdrew his thoughts. "What?"

"The tree you want, I will get it back as soon as possible." Nas knew that Hughes wanted the tree, and if he couldn't get it back, the Great Elder would definitely not speak for it, and maybe he would still want it nice.Anyway, those humans can't beat it, so just keep using it to grab it.

——It's like snatching back Hughes and the human being on the ground.

"Thank you." If Yan Xiu knew that Nas thought so, he might give Victor and the others a shot.
