733 Another cave(2/2)
Finally, an old man pushed away the crowd. He walked to Roland, bent down humbly, and said slowly: "Master, are you here to solve the problem in our village?"
"Yes. Are you the village chief here?"
"Yes. Honorable Master, what do you need us to pay?"
"What can you give?"
Roland doesn't think he should help them for free, it doesn't matter how much money it costs, they must at least show it.
Unilateral selfless help is a very bad behavior. This will cause the village to encounter trouble in the future and think about asking others to help free of charge.
Just like poverty alleviation, if you give money directly, you will definitely not be able to get them out of poverty. The reaction will make them more contented in a poor life.
When something similar happens in the end, they will most likely think of giving people selfless help.
If you meet someone who is easy to talk to, you can only curse and leave.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will probably solve the problem with the employer on the spot.
"We have no money anymore. The only thing we can afford is the young girl in the village. If you like Master Mage, please choose two or three to take it away."
In Urkandari, women's property and beauty are important and valuable property.
If it was a feudal country like Holevin and Frans, and if it was a property for women, and it was a bit concealed and whitewashed, then Urkanda would promote it nakedly.
Roland waved his hand: "I have a lot of women at home, so let's change to something else."
"But..." The village chief was embarrassed: "We really can't find anything else."
"Then let's get your specialties." Roland smiled and said, "The more the better."
The village chief thought for a while, then bent down and said, "As you wish."
"Can I tell me now, what's going on with those glittering glass seas behind the village?"
When it comes to those sea of glass, the people in the whole village look ugly.
The village chief sighed and slowly began to speak.
Originally, their village lived a rich and peaceful life relying on the small oasis next to it.
They have lived here for more than three hundred years.
But in the first two months, a mutant suddenly occurred.
A woman who went out to "collect insects" discovered a change.
The so-called insect food is actually to catch small animals such as small scorpions, desert centipedes, beetles, etc.
Used to supplement the body's protein.
The woman found that in the sand behind the village, many beautiful, colorful ridge-shaped gems suddenly appeared, and they were so long and big.
Although women love shining things, they are still people of the Red Sand. There is a tradition here: Don’t touch things that have never been seen before. No one knows that it is a gift from the gods or a trap from the devil in hell.
After the woman came back, she told her about this and the whole village went over to see it.
It was indeed a gem land, with an area of only about one hundred square meters at that time.
Some people wanted to pick it up, but they were stopped by the village chief.
To test whether the gems were dangerous, they threw some small animals in.
As a result, these animals immediately crystallized and turned into glass-like things as soon as they entered.
At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they know that there is something wrong with these gems.
After that, these gems continued to grow. In less than two months, they had grown hundreds or thousands of times, and they pressed towards the village.
If it is a villager from other countries, most of them will run away overnight.
But in Urkanda, villagers living in the desert know that a stable supply of water is necessary to survive in such a harsh environment.
Without an oasis and the small lake and depression beside the village, they would be destroyed in less than three days in the desert.
They also think it is difficult, but the question is where to get it?
Other oasis will not accept foreign villagers casually, and the same is true in big cities.
Because there is an upper limit on the amount of water in each water source or oasis.
A year is just a little water, which is enough for so many people to live.
When you go, you have to squeeze out other people's living space, and most people are unwilling to let you do this.
So they can only wait, hoping that the sea of gems will not expand so quickly.
If the lake water in the oasis is invading by the sea of gems, then the village will be destroyed.
Roland nodded and understood: "You guys go and prepare local specialties first, I'll go there and take a look."
After saying that, he summoned a small piece of white cloud, flew up with him and landed behind the village.
In front of you is a huge gem mine that can blind people... In the sun, countless colorful spots shine, and under the twist of the air, it even gives people a feeling of flowing.
Roland opened the system's vision and looked at these gems like ridge-shaped pillars.
Item: Magic Crystal
Effect: Magic condensate affected by rule-level magic can be used for magic tests, but due to its very unstable characteristics, it has a low cost performance.
Roland also saw the description of this magical crystal in books.
All descriptions say that it is a crystal of special energy, but because the internal elemental magic is too mixed, no mage is willing to purify these things.
Not worth it, wasted time and magic.
Roland followed the seaside of Gem and felt the magic of chaos in the air, and he frowned slightly.
These magic powers are difficult to control, and even with special talents, it is difficult to mobilize them.
Moreover, these things are expanding, which means there must be an "energy source" in it.
Roland threw down three magic spiders.
Because it is formed by magic, this sea of gemstones is also a product of magic, so the three magic spiders were not affected at all, but their speed was increased a little.
Three spiders conducted a carpet-style search and then found a black cave in the middle of the Gem Sea.
It looks very deep.
"I like to dig holes."
