Chapter 2699: Holding Gold in the Bustling City
The next morning, there was a hint of coolness in the air.
Sam sat next to the stone.
His eyes were full of hope now.
He knew that to restore a former oasis, it actually requires more than just water, soil and seeds, but also faith and persistence.
He believed that people he had lost before would come back.
He took a deep breath of cold air and began to tell the stone carefully about his plan.
"First, we need water," Sam said.
“I know there is an ancient spring in the eastern part of the desert, but it is controlled by a group of cunning sand pirates.”
“We must be careful not to let them discover our intentions. ”
"I suspect that those bandits are controlled by the dynasty outside. They are the bastards who destroyed our camp!"
Stone listened quietly. It could feel Sam's determination and his heart. A trace of anger and a trace of worry.
The other party is worried that after resurrecting the oasis, those damn bandits will come again to destroy them, right?
It makes a low sound by vibrating its surface, as if to tell Sam that no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, it will be by his side.
It has grown rapidly now.
It already knows the truth of the matter, that is, it underestimates the dangers of people's hearts and the calculations of others.
The trophy wine was drugged.
Sam nodded, and he continued: "Next is the soil. We need fertile soil to plant seeds."
"The soil in the desert is too poor, we need to find A way to improve it"
The stone began to slowly release the energy in its body into the surrounding sand.
It could feel the sand beginning to change, albeit slightly, but it was a start.
Sam noticed this and his eyes lit up.
"You are doing a good job," he said, "I believe your power can change this desert."
Finally, Sam talked about the seeds. "We need all kinds of seeds," he said, "trees, shrubs, herbs, even flowers. An oasis is not just a source of water, it's a complete jungle."
Stone listens Sam's plan.
It begins to imagine what an oasis would look like. It can see clear spring water, green trees, and colorful flowers.
It can see people resting under the shade of trees and birds flying in the sky. It’s a place full of life and energy, a world unlike any other in the surrounding desert.
That is the place in its memory.
Thinking of this, it felt heartbroken.
It has no intention, so why does it hurt?
This feeling is very uncomfortable, but it is also very fresh, making it very novel.
Sam stood up, his figure stretched long in the morning sun. "I will go find the resources we need," he said,
"And you, my friend, need to continue to build up your strength. We need your strength to achieve this miracle."
< br>The stone vibrates its surface again, indicating that it understands and accepts this task.
Of course it thinks of more things.
For example, its power can also be used to identify people's hearts.
If you can identify those conspiracies, you won't be deceived by those bastards in the future.
Sam packed his backpack and got ready to go.
He knew that this was another long and dangerous new journey, but he also knew that he was not alone.
Sam left, leaving Stone alone facing the vast desert.
The stone began to work harder to gather strength, pumping energy deep into the ground and it could feel the sand begin to become more fertile.
It knows that this is the first step to restore the oasis.
Dozens of days later, Sam came back.
He had a tired look on his face and he was missing an arm.
Shitou was very distressed and quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Of course it still has no way to make a sound.
But the shock was transmitted to Yu Sam, and he heard clearly what the other party meant.
Sam's eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Your strength has increased.”
“I just met some robbers. It’s no problem just losing an arm.”
He said taking out a backpack.
It was filled with all kinds of seeds, and there were several skin bags filled with clean water.
"Look, I found everything we need," Sam said excitedly, "Now, it's time to get started."
Sam and Stone began to work together.
But Stone wants to save Sam.
It imbued Sam with power.
Sam had never experienced anything like this before.
And now he experienced it.
He felt like his arm was regenerated!
“Yes, if you can turn the desert into an oasis, you have the power of resurrection!”
He was happy and terrified at the same time.
Because he knew very well that if this news spread, all kings would go crazy.
The desert, not even hell, can stop them.
But he didn’t say.
Instead, cooperate with the stone to start restoring the oasis.
He decided to dedicate his life to completing this mission.
Sam was responsible for digging trenches to direct the water from the spring to where they wished to plant.
The stone continues to release its power, improving the soil and providing nutrients for the growth of seeds.
At the same time, use the water brought as a mother river to absorb more water to strengthen itself.
As time passed, the oasis slowly began to take shape.
The first shrub sprouted from the ground, its green leaves sparkling in the sun.
Subsequently, more plants began to grow, and the oasis became more and more lush and vibrant.
Sam and Shitou stood in the center of the oasis, their faces filled with satisfaction and pride.
They knew that they had once again created a miracle, an oasis in the desert.
…………
And at this time.
Wen Rensheng had already lowered his head and looked over.
That’s right. The doll Xiao Huan raised has a lot of potential.
Having a pure heart.
This is rare.
...
In the early morning in the oasis, the air is filled with the smell of earth and new leaves, and the sun shines through the treetops and onto the sparkling water.
Sam stood at the edge of the oasis, looking far into the distance. His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, but also a little uneasy.
In fact, this uneasiness has already existed.
What should I do?
The completion of the oasis has now attracted a lot of attention again.
He knew that many jackals were eyeing them again.
They need to protect this hard-won green.
Sam sat down next to the stone and began to talk about his concerns. "The construction of the oasis is a miracle, but it is also a challenge."
"We need to ensure that it can last and not be destroyed by external greed and conflict." There was firmness in his voice, but also Revealing a hint of worry.
Shitou listened quietly.
It could feel Sam's worry.
It had an idea. If it killed all the other greedy people, it would not have such worries.
The idea in his mind grew rapidly.
This is actually a very normal idea.
When people are angry, they always instinctively choose the most extreme way of thinking. But most people don't have the ability to realize it, and in the end they give up and can only succumb to reality.
A few people achieved it, and various conflicts and vendettas occurred.
But Qia Qia Shi has this ability.
It made a low sound by vibrating its surface, as if telling Sam.
No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, it will stay with him and protect this oasis together.
Actually, it is thinking: This time, I will kill those greedy people in advance.
It shouted in the bottom of its heart:
"Sister, how can we identify greedy people?"
Xiao Huan really appeared at this time.
Because this guy felt that something fun finally happened.
Of course Sam couldn't see Xiao Huan.
"This is simple, this is a piece of gold. If you become a child and walk in the busy city, whoever will deceive you and kill you will be a greedy person." Xiao Huan directly handed over the piece of gold. Leave it to the stone.
Shitou suddenly became happy: "That's great."
But Sam was not aware of it at this time. He just nodded to Shitou's reaction just now.
"We need to build a union," he continued.
"So that those who want to live here can coexist peacefully. We need to set rules to protect the oases and protect each other."
The stone began to slowly condense the energy in the body into a child.
When Sam's arm was repaired, it gained this ability.
This kid is unreal.
Most people can't see it.
When a child steps on the land, he can feel the vitality of the oasis growing.
Shitou knows that this child is the first step in protecting the oasis.
Sam stood up, his figure looking particularly tall in the sun.
“I will communicate with the surrounding tribes and invite them to join our alliance. And you, my friend, need to continue to accumulate your power. We need your power to protect this oasis.”< br>
The stone indicates that it understands and accepts the task.
Of course Sam didn’t know what the stone would do.
He is just an ordinary person after all.
I still can’t understand the idea of a god with divine power.
In fact, he only needs to think about it carefully to understand.
With a stick in hand, cauliflowers everywhere will suffer.
Sam packed his backpack and got ready to go.
He knew it would be a long and difficult journey, but he also knew that he was not alone.
Sam left, leaving Shi Shi facing the oasis alone. Shi Shi began to work harder to accumulate strength.
It allows the child it transformed to walk out of the desert and face the ordinary cities of this world.
…………
The hustle and bustle of the city is in sharp contrast to the tranquility of the oasis.
The child walked on the busy street, his eyes full of curiosity.
He saw row upon row of houses and carriages.
The huge gold he held in his hand attracted the attention of many people.
In many cities, gold represents wealth.
Some people began to approach the child. They used sweet words to seduce him and wanted to defraud him of the gold.
Some people also doubted whether it was true, so they went to test it.
It turned out that it was really heavy, and the child was indeed very strong.
The first person to approach the child was a richly dressed businessman.
He told the child that he could exchange more toys and candies for the gold in the child's hands. The child looked into the businessman's eyes and he could feel the greed in the businessman's heart.
So the child shook his head and rejected the merchant's proposal.
The businessman is dead.
But the child will not let him die immediately, otherwise others will be afraid.
The businessman's face changed, and a trace of sinisterness flashed in his eyes. He tried to take the gold from the child by force.
But the moment his hand touched the child, he suddenly felt a powerful force knocking him away.
The businessman fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.
The child continued walking, and he met more people. There are old ladies pretending to be kind, travelers who seem friendly, and even officials in uniform.
They all tried to defraud the children of the gold, but without exception, they all failed.
The child left this city and went to the next city.
Then a plague broke out in the city, the Black Death brought by the terrible prairie rats.
The strange thing is that it only affects those who are tempted by gold to do evil.
……
In the desert.
Sam came back two months later.
There was still fatigue on his face. This time he was missing two arms and two legs and was carried back.
But even so, there was still hope in his eyes.
Stone is very distressed.
But Sam smiled and said: "That was what I voluntarily cut off when signing the covenant."
"Only such an oath can make the covenant strong."
Of course Shitou doesn't know, this is nonsense.
No matter how powerful the oath is, from the moment it is signed, it is determined that one day it will be betrayed.
Sam just told Stone that he had reached an agreement with several tribes and they were willing to join the oasis alliance to protect this green.
“However, we have also encountered some resistance,” said Sam. “Some tribes are unwilling to give up their way of life and they are afraid of change. We need to find a way to convince them.”
“There are also some tribal leaders who told me that they are hunting us in the kingdom outside.”
"They didn't dare to contact us and told us it was best to escape into the largest desert."
The stone told Sam that it believed it could find a solution to the problem.
Actually it is thinking, don't worry, those kingdoms will soon have no power.
This is also true.
The rapid spread of the Black Death quickly brought the kingdoms around the desert to collapse.
This thing is awesome.
Many kingdoms in the Middle Ages lost their original closure and power one by one as a result.
Not to mention here?
Many people even fled into the desert to escape the Black Death.
Of course, most of them are not afraid of the Black Death, because the Black Death cannot infect a mummy.
Sam nodded.
He started working with stones.
Once again they set up defenses around the oasis.
At the same time, trade with surrounding tribes and share the resources of the oasis.
As time goes by, the Oasis Alliance gradually grows.
The Black Death was breaking out outside, and more and more talents were attracted by the prosperity of the oasis. They began to settle here, grow crops, and build families.
And brought advanced ideas.
The oasis is not just a source of water, it becomes a union full of life and energy.
The Senate was reestablished and an Oasis Guard was formed.
Stone also feels that relying on gold alone to identify people's hearts is too inefficient.
After all, you have to keep walking.
The Guards are still more efficient.
It decided to give this guard some new power.
