Chapter 241: Chapter 241
Without alarming the two sandmen, Du You waved his hand and released two disintegration spells. Both sandmen were disintegrated while still in their dreams without making any sound. After confirming for the third time that there was no one else here, Du You finally returned.
"Speed up and leave Black Stone Canyon," Du You tapped on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog he was sitting on.
Obeying the command, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog immediately ran towards the outside. Shortly after, Du You arrived at the place where he had set up traps. The ground was a scene of desolation.
There were dried corpses and charcoal, all unrecognizable from their previous state.
However, Du You still managed to find the bodies of Aelius and Morry. Morry’s body had turned into a dried corpse, but it roughly retained its previous shape. On Aelius, his clothes were not completely burned. Aelius, who comes from a noble family, wore clothes that ordinary people could hardly compare to.
It was just the four-armed strange sandperson that made Du You somewhat surprised. Could sandpeople grow four arms? How strange.
Du You did not destroy the two bodies either, he only briefly inspected them.
The quality of the badges was still good, but facing a powerful magic attack, they could not hold up and were already ruined. With this situation, they had no way to find out the final truth.
Moreover, the sandpeople’s reinforcements would arrive soon. It was unknown how long it would take to confirm that these two had an accident. Being so close to the sandpeople’s patrol, the sandpeople would help clean up the traces for him.
Patting the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog, Du You continued to walk back. The speed of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog was quite fast, and sometime after dawn, Du You’s figure finally appeared in front of White Stone City.
"Who is it? Stop and undergo inspection."
At dawn, when people are most exhausted, the soldiers of White Stone City are most vigilant.
Because they all knew that attacking at this time was the most troublesome.
Du You quickly had the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog slow down, and walked slowly to the city gate, shouting up to the city wall, "I am a mercenary soldier, here is my badge, I am back to turn in a task."
Seeing that it was a human who returned, the soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief.
But the routine inspection was not any less, nor did they dare to be. It was only after two soldiers came down to check, confirming Du You’s identity, that they let Du You go to the third city gate.
Opening the city gate, there were already quite a few soldiers waiting here. They were not to greet him, but to protect the city’s safety. If there was any problem, they would be able to control the city gate in an instant. The leader among them was of the second tier, this guy probably couldn’t be easily dealt with by Du You.
"Soldier, I remember you. Last time you transported Black Mountain Goat wool on this summoned beast. Is it wool again this time? Doesn’t seem like it." The soldier’s commander, upon seeing Du You, let out a hearty laugh.
Du You shook his head: "I no longer hunt Black Mountain Goats. Anyone can get wool, I got something others can’t. It’s this, a griffin egg."
Du You casually took out a griffin egg from his bulging rucksack. The sight of the volleyball-sized griffin egg made the soldier commander’s face change. He knew just how important this mission was.
Who would have known, only a few days after this task was posted, a large collection of them was already turned in.
With so many griffin eggs, if they are hatched properly, White Stone City could have a strong griffin troop in one to two years’ time. The combat power of the griffin cavalry could even surpass the current Pegasus Knights.
"Very good, I didn’t expect you to complete this task, follow me right away."
When the commander finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted, "What are you standing there for, close the city gate quick, if something happens while I’m not here, you’ll all answer to me."
The soldiers quickly responded, they knew the significance of griffins and how crucial they are.
Before Du You reached the mission hall, the news had already been relayed back by unknown means. At the entrance of the mission hall, quite a few people were waiting for him. Yes, they were waiting for him this time, and the one leading was very familiar to Du You. Wasn’t this the military official who had received him last time and was dissatisfied with him?
Of course, the reason for the dissatisfaction last time was because Du You had refused to continue hunting Black Mountain Goats. But not now, because the matter of griffin eggs is much more important than any Black Mountain Goat.
The wool of Black Mountain Goats can be collected by instructing a few soldiers to be more careful. But griffin eggs carry significant importance. They have been studying during this period what method to use to acquire a large number of griffin eggs. With too many people going, they simply couldn’t hide it. With a small number of people, how to transport and deal with the griffins would be a serious issue.
But before they could discuss a result, someone had already completed it. This was indeed great news.
"Hello, hello, I didn’t expect you could complete this task, that’s great. Come and sit here. You must be tired from working all night. Waiter, prepare the food."
The military official was much more enthusiastic this time than last time, and his face beamed also with a luxuriant smile.
"No need to make such a fuss. Let’s start the inspection quickly, and afterwards I can go back and rest."
Du You quickly peeled off the military official’s coarse big hand. He felt disgusted with a man holding his hand tightly.
The military official didn’t notice this at all and chuckled, "Well said, well said. Hurry up and check the number, type, and vitality of the eggs. Have the incubators ready? Why are you so slow, hurry up."
The military official wasn’t so friendly to the others however, his stern gaze made the soldiers speed up their movements involuntarily. No matter what, the inspection couldn’t be neglected. Orıginal content can be found at 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
One by one, the volleyball-sized griffin eggs were pulled out then quickly moved to the hands of the soldiers. Then they began checking with various instruments. Du You didn’t recognize these instruments; these must be unique to this world.
However, the checking was too troublesome. It’s better back on Earth, where even if the product is not a product of Law Formalization, all data can be detected with a single device. They don’t have to spend several minutes to complete one inspection like these people here. If not for so many people starting to work at the same time, they might not finish the inspection by tonight.
Of course, Du You was very confident in his griffin eggs and saw that they couldn’t finish inspecting in a while. With nothing else to do, Du You simply sat down and started to eat the food they had prepared.
