Chapter 93 Perfect Reward (Bonus Chapter for Recommendation Tickets)
Regarding Fang Senyan's suggestion, Mu Ge resolutely refused to absorb the power of the golden fruit. She wholeheartedly wanted to open the teleportation array as soon as possible and go to Fang Senyan's world to live with him. Therefore, her plan was to sacrifice this golden fruit to Sindorei. The divine power of the sun god Sindorei could affect the space teleportation array.
Mr. Farrell was more than happy to comply with Fang Senyan's request. The reason he hadn't appeared to deal with Treebeard before was because he was too weak. He would have been completely suppressed by Treebeard on a spiritual level. If he wasn't careful, he would have been controlled in reverse. Moreover, after repeatedly changing bodies in Fangorn Forest this time, his spiritual body was extremely weak and in dire need of nourishment.
At this time, he was quietly absorbing the power from the golden fruit under everyone's protection. However, after spending a great deal of effort, Fang Senyan realized that the golden fruit had shrunk by less than one-seventh! And Mr. Farrell had already shown serious symptoms of being unable to withstand the nourishment, such as vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and blurred vision. Compared with this, the Sun Ladder's gluttonous consumption of four golden fruits in a short period of time was truly remarkable!
Next, despite getting rid of the threat of Treebeard, Fang Senyan and his group's lives were still not easy.
Because they were subjected to fierce sniping from the Ents!
Although Treebeard couldn't catch up with them, now that the fire in Fangorn Forest was under control, Fang Senyan and his group immediately became the target of the Ents' encirclement and interception. Fortunately, they had the advantage of escaping first, and the Ent speed king, the Phase Ent, was almost completely wiped out, so they still successfully reached the River Isen and escaped the pursuit.
On the way to escape, Fang Senyan also set up several insidious traps, with the greatly strengthened Mr. Farrell taking the lead to attract firepower, ambushing and killing several pursuers, and also collecting all the quest items needed for the hidden main quest: Isengard's Hidden Dangers, the Broken Ent Heart.
However, Fang Senyan was not in a hurry to complete the task, because the completion time limit for this task was as long as twenty days. There was no doubt that completing the task early would probably bring extra rewards, but Fang Senyan didn't lack rewards now, what he lacked most was time.
In view of the fact that another hidden side quest: Saruman's commission needed to be rushed, the nine-day deadline was coming soon, and most importantly, they had completed the task objective of seizing the golden fruit, but they couldn't take anything back to Saruman to complete the mission! That old thing was dark-hearted, ruthless, and extremely powerful, so it was not easy to fool him.
However, seeing Fang Senyan's confident appearance, the others were really embarrassed to spoil his interest. Fang Senyan asked them to wait outside Isengard, and he went to find Saruman to take the lead. At this time, Fang Senyan no longer had any special feelings for Saruman, because he had already discovered Saruman's weakness, which was his greed and ambition!
There was an atmosphere of madness in Isengard at this time.
A crazy atmosphere aroused by money.
Obviously, the fire in Fangorn Forest stimulated the residents and adventurers in Isengard, because once the fire started, it would sweep through the entire forest - no one cared whether Fangorn Forest was still there, because for Middle-earth's forest coverage rate of up to 80%, what did it matter if a little bit was burned? - The key was that after those spiritual woods in the forest were burned, it would definitely lead to two things.
The first thing was that Saruman would inevitably increase the purchase price of spiritual wood.
The second thing was that, without a doubt, the range that the angered Ents needed to defend was reduced, and it would be even more difficult to obtain this kind of spiritual wood in the future.
Therefore, there was even a phenomenon of hoarding Fangorn Forest wood in Isengard, in order to make huge profits. Under the deliberate or unintentional guidance of the officials, Fangorn Forest wood had become a synonym for expensive luxury goods. It was very similar to the sky-high priced Gentleman Orchid, Golden Beaver Rat, Orchid Fever, and Antique Craze trends in the real world in the 1980s and 1990s, making the inherent value represented by spiritual wood far exceed its own value. .
From this, it could be seen Saruman's vicious intentions. Taking the real world as an example, what thing in the world has its own value far exceeding the price it represents? Without a doubt, that was money! Money was just made of paper, and the cost of manufacturing a one hundred yuan bill was almost negligible when摊分ed, but its purchasing power was quite strong.
Saruman had hyped the spiritual wood of Fangorn Forest to be so popular, just like a place in the real world where you can directly dig up money... Undoubtedly, after a certain level, Saruman could let go and ignore it. The huge inertia derived from this incident had already destined that the Ents protecting these woods would inevitably be drowned by the surging, endless greedy people.
In the history without Fang Senyan, Treebeard, who had absorbed seven golden fruits, was an unshakable existence. With him guarding Fangorn Forest, it was as stable as Mount Tai, but now, Treebeard was greatly injured and fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that nothing could stop the adventurers from frantically pouring into Fangorn Forest and achieving the final victory.
Although Saruman had almost exhausted his savings on this matter, it was worth the money. He successfully swept away the biggest stumbling block on his road to success. Now, although Saruman still didn't know the exact news of Fang Senyan and his group, the raging fire in Fangorn Forest was clearly visible even hundreds of miles away. This good news caused Saruman to waste a full half hour of meditation for two consecutive days because of distracting thoughts.
When Fang Senyan saw Saruman again, this most insidious and shameless ruler in Isengard's history was having dinner. The dishes he ate
were not abundant, but they were quite exquisite. The main course was a medium-rare steak, which was a steak fried after seven girls gently massaged it with the pads of their fingers for twelve hours.
The bread served with the meal was baked with the fruit from a three-hundred-year-old breadfruit tree.
Salmon roe, as red as rubies, became the dipping sauce next to it.
The drink was ordinary red wine mixed with unicorn blood.
Saruman just glanced at Fang Senyan lightly, and then continued to deal with the tender steak in front of him with a knife and fork. It seemed that the importance of the steak was far above Fang Senyan.
Fang Senyan smiled indifferently, and when he saw a decoration made of armor next to him, he pushed the armor down and sat on it unceremoniously, watching Saruman eat with relish, with great interest, as if it was more fragrant than eating it himself.
Under the gaze of such a guy, Saruman undoubtedly failed after a few minutes. He suddenly slapped the table, and plates and dishes fell to the ground with a clatter, roaring:
"Did I tell you to sit down?"
Fang Senyan shrugged his shoulders and said:
"You didn't tell me I had to stand."
Saruman waved his hand, and the dining table and scattered bowls and dishes disappeared:
"What about the things I told you to do?"
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"I did a great job. Treebeard won't bring you any more trouble - at least not for the next few hundred years. He has fallen into a long sleep."
Saruman raised his eyebrows, but said lightly:
"How do I know you're telling the truth? I can't sense the aura of the golden fruit on you."
"Because there is no golden fruit in this world." Fang Senyan said very seriously: "Your request is too difficult, so I thought of a way to destroy all these damn fruits. To prove that I'm not bragging, I brought this back."
After saying that, Fang Senyan stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a crumpled yellow thing, like a pile of old paper crumpled together.
Saruman frowned and said:
"What is this?"
Fang Senyan didn't speak, and shouted at the Orc next to him:
"Go get a basin of water!"
In the clear water, this thing slowly revealed its original appearance, and Saruman was stunned. It was actually the skin of a golden fruit!
After Fang Senyan's Sun Ladder sucked the golden fruit dry, it left a thin layer of skin, which was rolled back by the Sun Ladder's tentacles, and Fang Senyan took it to hand over to Saruman.
Saruman said in surprise, anger, and pity:
"Why is there only the skin, where is the fruit?"
Fang Senyan made a very surprised look and asked:
"Lord! You wouldn't think that I could be powerful enough to directly snatch the golden fruit from Treebeard, would you! The several Phase Ents he left in the core are enough to kill me! Now I have proven what I have done, you wouldn't deny it, would you."
Saruman was silent for a while, and turned around angrily and left, then smashed a small booklet at Fang Senyan. At this time, Fang Senyan read the booklet, which was a series of Saruman's supplements to the Deployment Technique. He finally received a prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:
"You have completed the hidden side quest: Saruman's commission."
"Difficulty: Unable to evaluate."
"Completion time limit: Nine days."
"Quest introduction: Before Treebeard's golden fruit matures, seize the golden fruit to greatly weaken Treebeard's power."
"Quest objective: You have proven to Saruman that you have successfully obtained the golden fruit."
"The following abilities of yours have been improved and supplemented."
"Your beneficial deployment potion bonus has been increased from 8 points to all attributes."
"The increased effect is: 10% of all attributes for the drinker, and the basic attribute value of this increase will not be less than 8 points."
"The creatures you plant will gain an additional attribute: Inheritance!"
"You can specify one of the basic attributes of your planted creatures to receive a bonus, and the bonus range is 50% of your own attribute." (For example, if all the basic attributes of the Uruk-hai planted by Fang Senyan are 30 points, then he can specify that this Uruk-hai's constitution receives a bonus, and the bonus is Fang Senyan's current constitution 49 points/2=24.5 points.)
