Chapter 402 Diligent E Huo (3.5k)
“It’s the national flag that was left at the hospital before.”
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Su Jiu slowly extended her hands, took the paper tube containing the flag, felt its smoothness, and was a little surprised in her heart. She understood that the other party had kept it very well. It was probably sent over overnight by Aers after some of her identity was revealed.
“A War God from our country asked me to pass on a message to you: ‘The Land of Freedom’ is a very interesting novel, and Aers will develop as described in the book. If you have any needs in the future, please do not hesitate to call us.”
Seeing Su Jiu accept the flag, Mora breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she placed one hand on her chest, fell silent for a moment, and intended to leave directly.
“May you rebuild your homeland as soon as possible. Inside, there are over a dozen intermediate magic crystals and hundreds of beginner magic crystals. This is my personal support.”
Looking at the national flag paper tube, Su Jiu sighed, raised her head slightly, and then revealed a smile. From the storage bags hanging around her waist, she took out a storage bag and tossed it over.
Beginner magic crystals can now only be used to supplement energy. For herself and Bairnis E Huo, their use is also limited to supplementing energy. Aers’s kingdom has War God level existences. It is to befriend them, and if there is a need in the future, they will be more willing to help.
This is also a matter of human sentiment.
“Wow, did the captain of the ‘Mo Yu’ team go slaughter demon races? So many magic crystals, they can organize a small army.”
“Didn’t they say she was a commoner? How can she take out so many magic crystals? This is several small targets already!”
“She had the strength close to a High-Rank Battle King when she was young. What family does she need? She is the family herself!”
“Aers’s situation is indeed very bad. After ‘The Land of Freedom’ was exposed a few days ago, I couldn’t believe that in this civilized era, such an unjust war broke out!”
…
Su Jiu’s voice was not loud, but almost everyone present could hear it. The field was silent for a moment, and then erupted in warm applause. Various discussions turned into cannons firing into the sky.
When you have strength, no matter what you do, many people will have a preconceived, affirmative attitude.
Catching the storage bag, Mora was stunned for a moment. Then, hearing the discussions around her, she hurriedly put the storage bag away. Then, she clasped her hands together and said to Su Jiu with the highest courtesy: “Thank you for your kindness. May God Spa always bless you.”
“It’s just a small matter.”
Su Jiu also put away the paper tube and waved her hand, trying her best not to look at the storage bag. She actually felt very pained about this thing, but—it was a preparation for saving the Silly Duke in the future.
On the judges’ bench, they were also whispering and discussing. It seemed that everyone present had become interested in the book “The Land of Freedom.”
“‘The Land of Freedom’… I’ve read it too. What makes me most angry is that our country’s knights died in Aers. It has been verified that it is true—Yela has advanced.”
The representative from the United States seemed to recall something, and his face instantly fell. He said in a deep voice. He was a square-faced middle-aged man wearing a serious black tailcoat.
Green glanced at him, as if he was seeing him anew, and asked with a smile, “Doesn’t your country not support its citizens from intervening in this war?”
The representative of the United States glanced at him, his gaze fell on the stage, and he said softly, “He is not intervening in the war, but fulfilling his duty as a knight.”
And next to the front row seats, beside Yun Mo stood his assistant wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The latter was still holding his phone and said softly, “Mr. Yun, two days ago, I also read ‘The Land of Freedom.’ It seems to have been written by a Red Cross doctor named Su Jiu and her assistant—”
This assistant paused for a moment, his gaze fell on Su Jiu, with a hint of respect, and exclaimed, “Originally, I couldn’t confirm it based on photos alone, but the return of the national flag finally made me certain that this doctor named Su Jiu seems to be the contestant Frost Blade on stage…”
“Was it written by the captain of the ‘Mo Yu’ team? Would an elder have such thoughts to write a book?”
Hearing his assistant’s words, Yun Mo turned his head in surprise. As one of the diplomats from Dragon Country, he had naturally read the electronic version of “The Land of Freedom.” It described a less-than-perfect journey in a romantic traveler’s tone.
He had seen the list of foreign casualties at the end of the book. The list was extensive, including almost all countries whose names could be spoken in the world. What made Yun Mo feel the most profound was the section by reporter Lin Yusheng—”The Meaning of Truth.” This was a compatriot who died in a foreign war, and also one of the “travelers.”
“The Land of Freedom” seemed to inherit the torch of that reporter, using a humorous and witty narrative style to write the stories of “travelers” who yearned for freedom. They were chefs, doctors, reporters… and even high-ranking royal knights.
Perhaps they would be placed on the assassination list by Yela’s War God level, but the author, as a traveler, still left the newspaper’s motto at the end of the article, which was like mocking the butchers who tried to bury the truth—
[If silence can lead to survival, then we should speak out!]
“Heh, Su, the cost of these magic crystals will be covered by Dragon Country for you.”
With a loud laugh, under the puzzled gaze of his assistant, Yun Mo slowly stood up. He lightly tapped the floor of the judges’ bench with his foot. Even as he stood up, he landed lightly on the stage like a drop of rain falling into the sea.
Hearing Yun Mo’s voice, Su Jiu turned her head slightly, only to find that the person speaking was her own country’s representative. The latter walked towards her with a smile, gestured with a ring, and five high-grade magic crystals appeared on his hand. He handed them over with a smile.
“Take these. I hope you remember, the country will never let individuals suffer losses for doing the right thing.”
“Thank you, old sir.”
Looking at the dazzling high-grade magic crystals, Su Jiu felt her eyes were about to be blinded. She quickly took them and put them into her ring. The value of high-grade magic crystals is basically immeasurable by money. They have an extraordinary effect on monsters advancing to the Battle King level, and also on Su Jiu.
If she often uses this level of crystals to perceive the aura of the domain, she can also transform them for her use. It can be said that the value of these five is far greater than the magic crystals Su Jiu gave away.
It can be considered an unexpected gain.
Smiling a nod at Su Jiu, Yun Mo then turned his head and looked at Mora. Beneath his gray eyebrows, he said with sincerity, “Little girl, the investigation team from Dragon Country has also sent back relevant information. A peace treaty will not be too far away.”
“Thank you for your generosity. It’s not appropriate to talk too much about these things on the stage. I’ll go down first.”
Looking at Yun Mo, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, Mora nodded lightly, bowed and clasped her hands in thanks again, and then stepped down from the stage first.
“Mo Yu team wins!” At this moment, from the judges’ bench, a clear voice resounded again.
“Boom!”
As the referee’s pronouncement fell, the stands erupted in overwhelming cheers. This battle without smoke inexplicably moved some people. For a time, the media rushed to report, and those who paid attention to “The Land of Freedom” changed from industry insiders to the general public worldwide.
The name of Red Cross Su Jiu will also leave a deep mark on the topic of peace, but only a few people will know that she is also a nocturnal wanderer.
…
Boss Su returned to the inn and continued to make alchemy items. After all, the materials were not only those white bone corpses, but the beast pets of those enemies were also materials if they were suitable.
She had eliminated quite a few strong individuals.
Since Bairnis had not drunk the healing soup, she fell into a deep sleep again. The sensible E Huo tiptoed and priced the boss’s alchemy items one by one.
E Huo would also watch TV programs from time to time and eat Su Jiu’s leftover Pterodactyl eggs and some monster meat using various human methods—she would try frying and stir-frying. And every time she ate a Pterodactyl egg, the red crystal on her index finger would shine brighter, as if burning.
Then, with a bowl of “Flower Egg” in her mouth, E Huo’s fingernails became even more crystal clear, as brilliant as gemstones.
Dragons are naturally attracted to shiny things. E Huo blinked her eyes. She curiously touched the back of her fingernail, and suddenly her entire hand erupted in red flames, and an obsidian dagger appeared in her small hand. The dagger was not as exquisite as her本体, but it also had a small red crystal embedded in it.
E Huo secretly glanced at Su Jiu, who was still working diligently, then licked her lips, and quietly used the dagger to skewer and grill some demon meat…
As the sun rose and set outside the window, time also passed little by little. Su Jiu had also slowly accumulated more than fifty low-to-intermediate Battle General alchemy items, about ten high-intermediate Battle General items, and one Dragon Tooth ornament that was lucky enough to be dropped as a beginner Battle King.
She estimated that the money and magic crystals earned could be exchanged for some Battle King level herbs or medicinal liquids that were beneficial to her body. Herbs of the same attribute could be used to cultivate various extraordinary attributes, making them easier to use and also strengthening basic attributes.
Then, she now needs to perceive the domain of each bloodline individually, commonly known as “testing the waters.” With the superb level two attribute bonus of “Life Ice” for ice attribute, and the ice dragon transformation being very pure, the sensing is obviously simpler than other attributes—
Of course, the most important reason is that her ice dragon transformation will be promoted after she reaches the Half-King level.
However, the Half-King level will have to wait until she absorbs that spring water, which is about a month after the competition ends, approximately before the Male Protagonist Bai Ming and his companions go north.
“Dragon Country’s express delivery isn’t very good. The map shows it just arrived near Eagle Country. I don’t know if I can leave a bad review…”
Another morning sun passed. Su Jiu did not wait for the “Holy Filth” express delivery she was longing for, but ushered in the quarterfinals of the top six. However, a text message on her phone made her stunned—”Is it our turn to fight Cambridge?”
“It seems that Wend, that kid, is inside…”
But soon, her stunned expression slowly turned into a smile. The smile was very wicked, as if she had encountered something fun, making her originally pointed ears appear more demonic.
Dare to touch her woman. Let alone seek death, if a few ribs are not broken, it is difficult to get off the stage…
In another rather luxurious inn’s huge private room, several figures sat quietly. They wore lion insignias on their chests, and their gazes were anxiously looking at the sickly young man in the central seat.
“No need to worry. Let’s not mention that they can’t add any more people. Frost Blade will have to fight two at once. Let’s not mention that I still have secret techniques that haven’t been used, and Lu Si has also made a major discovery.”
The sickly young man was Wend. He replied with a light smile, and half-lying in his arms was a red-clothed woman exuding a Battle King aura. It seemed she was Lu Si.
After speaking, Wend smiled and petted the head of the alluring woman with fiery red scales in his arms. The woman was wearing a fire-tempered long dress, as if to confirm. She said in slightly broken English, “That’s right. I sensed the aura of my clan on Frost Blade’s beast pet, but it carries some impurities. She should be a hybrid dragon descendant, but her parentage is of pure blood—my dragon prestige should be able to deter her!”
