Night of Despair-Chapter 466: Resource 464 Two

"Stranger, was it you who saved this child?" a voice inquired near Yu Hong.

"We are from the Tela family of the Louis Empire, thank you for rescuing a member of our family..." A barrage of content transmitted over telepathically.

"Yes. A kind lady saw an innocent child alone in the wilderness, such a dangerous place, and she cared, so she brought him back to us for temporary protection," Yu Hong nodded, "Since it’s a member of your family, then good, you can take your child back. As a token of gratitude, you can compensate us with some supplies, no problem, right?"

"Supplies? Is this a carriage? Or a Mage Tower?" The old man looked puzzled.

"Neither, just a means of transportation," Yu Hong replied.

"...How much do you want?" the old man nodded, indicating he understood the request.

"We need enough supplies for the three of us to eat and drink for a year," said Yu Hong. A year was enough time for them to resupply.

"...Okay. But we will need time," the old man agreed without hesitation.

Just three people, at most it was a few hundred pounds of grain and a few hundred pounds of dried meat. Though somewhat valuable, it was nothing compared to the life of a family scion. It’s a matter of a dozen Gold Coins.

"By the way, what’s your portion size per meal? I might consume more, so prepare triple the amount," Yu Hong reminded.

"Can do," the old man nodded.

Once the exchange was settled, the tense atmosphere between both parties eased considerably.

The old man stopped casting spells and began to speak softly with the elegantly dressed men and women.

Afterward, they spread out and began to set up a temporary camp on the spot.

Sword and Shield Soldiers kept watch around them, while Crossbow Soldiers scouted the distance. Catapult operators stood behind Shields, ready to assist at any time.

But the camp had only been half set up when the old man suddenly discovered something.

"There’s... a dragon’s breath here..." His eyes lit up.

"A dragon?!" The elegantly dressed men and women were all startled.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a young adolescent dragon. And it’s a White Dragon," the old man shook his head. "Of course, even just an adolescent dragon is not something our party can subdue. Everyone just needs to be careful and keep an eye on our surroundings."

The elegantly dressed man nodded, noting the soldiers around him seeming increasingly nervous, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"His Majesty has always wanted a Level Nine Dragon Crystal to craft a staff..."

Time rapidly flew by as both sides awaited.

Soon, after more than three hours, a team of guards carrying large cloth bags approached one after another.

Yu Hong could smell the aroma of flour from the bags.

"Flour is good too," he nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, the other party sent representatives, two Catapult operators nervously approaching the safe house.

That strange house made them feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ku Chan didn’t make any unnecessary moves. He promptly handed the child over to them.

Then they were instructed to pile all the flour and dried meat through the window.

The trade went smoothly.

Very soon, the guards escorted the elegantly dressed men and women, who had received the baby, and quickly left, disappearing into the dense jungle.

They showed no extra curiosity about why Yu and the others were in this rarely-trodden primordial jungle.

Their party came, traded, and left. The whole process was unusually brief.

Yu Hong watched the team leave, then retracted his gaze, looking at the large pile of supplies that had just arrived.

It was a sizable stack of flour bags and dried pork tucked away in the corners of the room, along with dried vegetables and mushrooms for replenishing trace elements.

"These people are quite generous; they gave more than what we traded for," he nodded in satisfaction.

"They know how to manage relations. But aren’t you curious about their Magicians, Spells, and all that?" Chi Xiao floated nearby and asked.

"Curious, but we can’t stay here long, as we haven’t fully absorbed and peaked in our current power systems. Dipping into others, we lack the energy," Ku Chan shook his head.

"I could try researching it, but I forgot to mention earlier, we’ll see if there’s a chance later," said Yu Hong.

After eating, Yu Hong summoned Speed Man to tidy up all the trash and throw it all out, burying it in a hole.

As evening approached.

Whoosh!

A slender dragon shadow descended from the sky, landing once more through the same round hole as last time.

Not a fraction of an inch off.

"Hello. It seems you are doing well," Gabriela had flown back. As she landed, she saw Yu Hong directing some sort of summoned beings carrying bags.

Though the strange summoned creatures didn’t give her a great feeling, seemingly reminiscent of negative energy Spells.

But Black Mage and such merely meant utilizing different forces; that was all. She held no prejudice.

"Have you finished your business?" Yu Hong was planning to return to his cultivation, as he was on the verge of completely mastering the Sixth Layer of Tai Ling Skill. Once he entered the Seventh Layer and constructed the Source Well, his strength would skyrocket in an instant, which had been motivating him lately.

After witnessing the terrifying destructive power of a meteor, he thought that had he mastered the Tai Ling Skill to its extreme, he might be able to withstand the impact of such a horrific collision.

Therefore, he attributed all his current hardships to his own lack of strength.

Seeing the White Dragon return, he unconsciously focused his gaze on its pair of large and pure blue eyes.

Right now, he was still in the process of enhancing the single function of the Outer Eye. If he were to also use the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture to assist in the enhancement, not only would his right eye become stronger, but the power of his Outer Eye would increase further.

The Tai Ling Skill and the Outer Eye were the two main aspects he was focusing on enhancing at the moment.

The Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture, which collected various unique eyes, could also add new abilities and powers to the Outer Eye.

Arriving in this new place, perhaps he could...

"I brought some food and drink, but it looks like you don’t need them," sighed Gabriela the White Dragon.

"Yes, but still, thank you. You are the kindest and most beautiful among the Dragon Clan I’ve ever encountered," Yu Hong said earnestly and sincerely.

He wasn’t lying. The last time he met Marissa, she was aggressive from the start, eager to fight and kill, readily slaughtering all living beings.

"Really? Your eyes are like they can speak, you truly are a sincere person," Gabriela seemed happy. "Since you don’t need it, I’ll take it back then. Actually, I live nearby. If it’s alright with you, can I come over and chat with you sometime?"

"Since you’ve brought it, no need to go through the trouble, I’ll accept it. Besides food and drink, I’m actually quite interested in many special local products here, such as the Mage you mentioned," Yu Hong quickly said.

"Aren’t you Mages?" Gabriela asked in confusion.

"No, we’re not Mages; we’re just warriors who know a few small tricks," Yu Hong patted his solid chest muscles. "Have you ever seen a Mage with a physique as strong as mine?"

"That’s true, in the realm of humans, you’re indeed very strong," Gabriela nodded.

"Exactly, it’s a pity that I am constrained by a special restriction that prevents me from leaving this house. So, I’d like to ask for your help, kind and sincere White Dragon Gabriela, to collect some special items for me. In return, I’ll let you pick from some of the special products I have here. Would you be willing?" That was Yu Hong’s plan all along.

From what he had seen of the White Dragon and the Mages, the power structure of this place might not be weak, and he didn’t want to forcefully take resources and knowledge.

He was a pacifist and would absolutely avoid conflict if possible. If he could achieve his goals through exchange, why resort to harming each other?

After all, he was unsure of the upper limit of the Mages’ strength.

The depth of a world’s potential, even as previously seen in Magicians and Heavenly Masters, could be quite astonishing.

"A trade? That’s interesting, but with all due respect, I am a True Dragon, and am considered quite talented among the Arcane path Mages of my kin. According to your human classification, I would currently be at the level of a Level Six Silver Robe Mage. So, if the items you offer are too common, I will not accept them."

"Oh is that so..." Yu Hong smiled. "Well, if I have nothing that you need, I can offer to repair something that you want fixed as a trade."

"Hmm? Without limits?" Gabriela was startled.

"Of course," Yu Hong smiled. "Don’t consider me a mere mortal; although we are very weak and currently seriously injured, without some unique abilities, we wouldn’t dare travel to such a remote place."

"Oh... intriguing.... Could it be that you’re those mysterious merchants from the stories, with enigmatic origins, capable of trading various strange and wondrous goods?" Gabriela’s dragon eyes lit up.

"Mysterious merchants?" Yu Hong was taken aback, then nodded. "In that sense, I suppose I could indeed be considered a mysterious merchant to you. By the way, as long as I’m here, if you or someone you know gets injured, you can bring them here for treatment. But I can only treat non-fatal wounds."

"Does it cost money?" Gabriela suddenly asked.

"Consider it a gift among friends, no need to pay," Yu Hong said with a shaking head and a smile. "We’ve received your kindness; this is my gesture of goodwill."

"We are True Dragons with high resistances, will it still work?" Gabriela was somewhat skeptical.

Yu Hong didn’t say much, simply raising his hand and pointing at her.

Sss.

A trace of the Elf Ancient Tree’s Call in the form of Golden Light flashed over a scar on the White Dragon’s left wing.

Soon, the scar faded, disappeared, and new Dragon Scales visibly grew back.

This minor injury from a previous battle vanished right before Gabriela’s eyes!

Her dragon mouth was closed at first, but as she observed the change, her mouth gradually opened wider.

Looking back at Yu Hong and then at the house, which was odd in style, dilapidated, but seemingly sturdy, she suddenly felt he was even more mysterious.

"Amazing..." Although Spellcasting could achieve this as well, it required using up a Mage Position, and from Yu Hong’s words, she sensed he did not care much about the consumption.

In fact, Yu Hong had already noticed that this new trait could only heal minor to moderate injuries. Here, "minor to moderate" did not appear to be a fixed amount, but rather scaled accordingly.

The limits of this trait were still unclear, but its current functions were proving to be valuable.

"Good to know it’s impressive. Now, let me list the items I need..." Yu Hong said with a smile.

He was coveting their spellcasting system as well, and if he could use her to collect a large number of eyeballs, all the better.

As for what he could offer, there were too many things in his house to trade.

The vast knowledge of the Taoist Sect, for one, would be more than enough for her to leave satisfied. Moreover, he was the Spirit Alliance Leader and could also employ the Spirit Light Secret Skill.

To impart Spirit Light to her.

That would be the true trump card.

The amplification of Spirit Light could reach up to thousands of times its original strength. He could gradually adjust the amplification for her, from low to high.
