Lu Cheng listened to Elder Cassia's words through the radio... and felt a little embarrassed.
Elder Cassia said these words not so much to the people of the Pure Church as to his own people.
He was not standing on the side of the group of people who were lured for assistance by the Pure Church. He was standing on the side of Rabbit, that is, recruiting people for Lucheng.
However, just by listening to Elder Cassia's tone, Lu Cheng could tell that what he said was from the heart.
As a person who has lived in modern society, Lu Cheng can only say that Elder Cassia is purely yearning for a better life and beautifying his life in Skare.
This reminded Lu Cheng of the American immigration boom in the late 19th century, when a large number of Europeans took ferries across the ocean to the United States with the American dream in mind, and when they saw the Statue of Liberty, they even shouted excitedly, "It's America!"
But the America on the other side is by no means the paradise-like country they imagine, but a steel city shrouded in the haze of industrial development. Most of these immigrants who have traveled across the ocean will become a small gear in the machine. The dream of making a fortune and becoming successful is ultimately just a pie in the sky drawn by capital.
The situation in Koskare is completely different from that in America, and the people of the Far South Empire are also very different from Europeans.
If Elder Cassia had been smarter, he would have realized that Scarre, with the support of the rabbits, was truly "gold everywhere".
This kind of "gold" is not limited to being sold in Skare. If Skare continues to develop in the future, I'm afraid the value of the "gold" will spread throughout the world.
By then, the 'gold diggers' who enter Skarre first will surely stand out.
However, Elder Cassia did not seem to have considered this. As Lu Cheng listened to his narration, the elder's mind was full of questions like 'when will I take a break, how much will be the year-end bonus'.
Lu Cheng can only be said to be not a qualified ambitious person, but he can also be said to be a qualified elder.
After Elder Cassia criticized the Pure Church from the Rabbit's perspective, the head of the church fell silent and the radio also fell silent.
Just when Lu Cheng thought that the other party didn't know how to answer and chose to retreat temporarily or be more radical and choose to take people away by force, the voice of the priest of the Pure Church sounded again on the radio.
"The Holy Dragon can give the young people of your tribe power over the Far South." The priest finally used his trump card, which was also the trump card that finally convinced the Brown Iron Clan.
When Lu Cheng heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. He stopped listening to the message on the loudspeaker and instead picked up his headphones and listened carefully.
The power that Priest Lisa mentioned is something called "dragon blood". What does dragon blood look like? Lu Cheng heard from Arang that it is a golden liquid in a glass bottle.
Two young men from the Brown Iron Clan have already drunk the dragon's blood, and as Priest Lysa said, these two young men have gained power far beyond that of ordinary people.
"They are endowed with the blood of the holy dragon and possess a small portion of the power of the holy dragon." Lisa's voice rang in Lu Cheng's ears again.
Lu Cheng's first reaction when he heard it was "Fuck you!"
Normally, Lu Cheng is sure that he is very gentle and easy-going. He can count the number of times he has been angry in his life on his fingers.
But no matter how good Lu Cheng's temper is, there is one thing that can instantly hit Lu Cheng's anger point and make Lu Cheng directly go into a furious state.
That is the thing above the smoke. The reason why Lu Cheng was angry is that anyone who touches this thing will become a loser!
The person who I worked so hard to cultivate with an intelligence of 99 and S-level abilities was deceived by someone and contaminated with that thing, and all his attributes were directly reduced to zero... Lu Cheng even felt like killing the other person!
Dragon blood in the other party's description is very similar to that thing!
Lu Cheng listened to Agen's evaluation of the two young men from the Brown Iron Clan through the radio. They said that their physical fitness was about twice that of a normal person, and it was no problem for them to pick up a large stone with one hand.
"Welcome to become one of us." The holy voice of the priest reached Lu Cheng's ears. Lu Cheng really wanted to give the priest a pair of rose gold handcuffs, a limited edition for drug rehabilitation centers.
Lu Cheng was sure there was something fishy about dragon blood. If this liquid really could give anyone extraordinary powers after drinking it, this sect would have conquered the world long ago.
The problem is that the patriarch of the Brown Iron Clan seemed to have not considered this at all, because the two young men of the Brown Iron Clan did not show any side effects after drinking the dragon's blood. Of course, there were only temporary side effects.
The visit from the Pure Church ended here. The priest gave the people of the Brown Iron Clan some time to consider, and Ajan was finally able to ask Lu Cheng for his opinion in private.
"First of all, you must never touch that thing called dragon blood. Don't even think about trying it." Lu Cheng said to the half-elf prince in a serious tone.
"I don't think many people would rashly drink this alchemical potion of unknown origin." Ajan was also puzzled as to why the patriarch of the Brown Iron Clan would... so easily let the young people of the clan drink this potion.
"No, I'm afraid quite a few people in the Far South Empire have already touched this thing."
When Lu Cheng heard about the appearance of dragon blood, he already roughly understood what the Pure Church had been doing in Far South during this period.
The Far South is a country where strength is paramount, and this potion that can easily enhance personal strength can become a hot-selling product in the Far South.
"Arjan, pay attention to the movements of the two young men from the Brown Iron Clan who drank the dragon's blood. Do you know how to use the camera I gave you earlier?"
Lu Cheng remembered that when Argen left the Shangcheng ship, he received a lot of help from modern equipment, and the radio walkie-talkie was just one of them.
"Yes," replied Valanciunas.
"Remember to use a camera to record the status of those two people. Dragon blood must have some side effects, which may not be observed now." Lu Cheng said, "After recording the side effects, show them to the patriarch of the Brown Iron Clan to see if he can wake up."
Valang also understood in his heart... In this world, the desire for power among young people is far more terrifying than status and money, especially in the special environment of the Far South.
A month ago, when Valan was oppressed by the army of the Far South Empire and had to flee with his wife and daughter, he also considered that if there really was a legendary demon who tempted him to exchange something for power, he might even agree.
But the devil didn't get what he was expecting. Instead, he got a more pragmatic rabbit. The rabbit was much more kind-hearted than the devil, and was also a better fighter than the devil.
"I'll pay attention." Arang also planned to follow Elder Cassia and not leave these days.
