Chapter 1261
Just then, the crown prince leaned over to Matthew and asked in a whisper, "Hey, Matty, what's a guardian
beast?"
Matthew explained, "Miraculous herbs will surely attract sbizarre animals. In fact, these animals were
originally just sordinary wild animals, but as they stayed around miraculous herbs, they absorbed the herbs"
effects, which caused them to mutate over tand becbizarre animals. Such bizarre animals are usually
very tough, so they're difficult to fight against. They keep watch near the miraculous herbs and wait for the
herbs to ripen. Then, they'll swallow the herbs to make themselves stronger. Such bizarre animals are known as
guardian beasts."
The several herb growers sitting across from Matthew nodded at his words before looking at him with greater
respect.
After all, ordinary people had no knowledge of these things, which were only known to people who had grown
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtherbs for generations like them. The crown prince looked stupefied.
"What? There's such a thing? Oh, my, that'd be fun! Con, where's this place? | wanna go take a look!"
Matthew looked helpless.
"Prince, you'd better not stick your nose in this.A guardian beast grows along with the miraculous herb it's
guarding. Once the miraculous herb is about to ripen, the guardian beast will becextremely ferocious and
hard to fight against. There are a lot of times when not even weapons can hurt the guardian beast!"
However, upon hearing Matthew's words, the crown prince beceven more interested instead.
"Is that so? But the more you talk about it, the more | want to take a look!"
In an instant, Matthew was rendered speechless. He's really fond of getting in on the excitement, isn't he? Just
then, an elderly man from Stonedale suddenly asked, "Silas, I've got a question here. What was the miraculous
herb your ancestors planted back then? Why would you all risk your lives and even offer the Seven-Leafed Lotus
as a reward to retrieve it? Could the herb be more valuable than the Seven-Leafed Lotus?"
Matthew slowly nodded; the elderly man's questions were also what he would like to ask.
The Seven-Leafed Lotus was extremely rare, yet these herb growers were willing to offer it as a reward.
This proved that the miraculous herb was far more valuable than the Seven-Leafed Lotus.
Silas looked somewhat embarrassed.
After exchanging a brief look with several herb growers beside him, he finally said in a low voice, "Everyone, the
miraculous herb that I'm talking about is actually the Seven-Leafed Lotus"
Upon hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded, whereas the crown prince scowled at Silas, saying, "What
do you mean? You're offering a Seven-Leafed Lotus as a reward for us to collect another Seven-Leafed Lotus? Are
you nuts?"
Silas immediately said, "You've gotten the wrong idea, Prince. What we'd like to collect isn't just a Seven-Leafed
Lotus, but a field of them."
The instant he said that, everyone at the scene was astounded. How valuable a field of Seven-Leafed Lotuses
would be! After all, a single Seven-Leafed Lotus was rare enough. Matthew's eyes gleamed as well. He gave the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseveral herb growers a long stare, but he didn't say a word.
Silas then continued, "Our ancestors planted not a single Seven-Leafed Lotus, but a field of them back then.
However, the guardian beast has gotten hold of the whole field, which is why we've got no choice bu to offer
such a reward to ask for help."
Upon listening to his words, everyone finally understood the situation.
Just then, Ambrose suddenly argued with a frown, "Silas, it's a little unreasonable of you to do things like this.
You guys want to get a whole field of Seven- Leafed Lotuses, but you're only offering a single Seven-Leafed Lotus
as the reward. Isn't this improper?"
Taking a deep breath, Silas replied with a nod, "I understand what you mean, Mr.Ambrose. Well, we do have a set
of rules that we follow when doing business. As long as you guys can capture the field, we're willing to share all
the Seven-Leafed Lotuses with you fifty-fifty. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene instantly got excited.A single Seven-Leafed Lotus was already worth
risking one's life for.
Now that these herb growers were willing to share one whole field of Seven-Leafed Lotuses fifty-fifty with those
who reclaimed it, everyone was more than willing to take up the job, of course.
