Chapter 2960: The last difficulty? Return early? No, just the beginning
Ye Er, who became the queen, did not break his promise. As soon as the coronation ceremony ended, he immediately took Master Xuanzang and his disciples into the underground treasure house of his own palace.
When Moscow saw that a small country with a population of less than one million had secretly built such a large underground treasure house, Master Xuanzang and his disciple were a little surprised, and the dazzling array of treasures made them confused, but they were not what they needed.
"I''m very surprised. Although my Kingdom of Moscow is just a small country in Eastern Europe, it comes from the European aristocrats, and its history is not short at all."
After saying that, Ye Er walked in and introduced the history of the Moscow Kingdom to the five masters and apprentices.
More than two hundred years ago, the Roman Empire rose strongly and established a powerful empire centered on the Mediterranean and spanning the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.
At that time, many old forces and the great nobles in Europe fought against each other, but the gap in strength was huge. After the failure of the resistance, the remnants fled to Eastern Europe. Some established their own forces, while others married into local tribes, which naturally included Ye Er''s ancestors.
Ye Er''s family belonged to an old European aristocrat. In addition, he escaped from the purge of Rome and retreated to the Eastern European aristocrats. He was the kind of person who had relatively complete preservation of strength. In addition, his descendants were also more prosperous and accumulated over many years of tolerance. So although the Kingdom of Moscow is not very strong, the royal family''s foundation is still not weak.
As for why Peter did not move away the things in the treasure house after the coup was successful? The reason is also very simple. He has been in charge of Moscow City for too short.
Although Peter also knew that there was such a treasure house, he had not yet found the key to open the treasure house, so he was forced to abandon the city and flee because of his defeat. Otherwise, he would not have left the treasure house intact to Ye Er.
Although there are many items in the palace treasure house, most of them are ordinary gold, silver and treasures, which are of no use to Master Xuanzang and disciples, so everyone skipped directly to the innermost level.
After entering a small room in the inner warehouse, everyone''s eyes were attracted by the gorgeous treasure chest on the stone pillar, and it was obvious that the holy medicine was sealed inside.
After Ye Er took the treasure chest, he handed it over directly, which made Sun Lingming tremble with excitement, but after opening it, he and Xuanzang were both dumbfounded, because it was not Tianxiang cardamom at all, but a flower-like plant.
Zhu Tianpeng, Sha Liuqian and Ao Lie had never seen Tianxiang Cardamom, so naturally they would not react, but Sun Lingming and Xuanzang''s faces were not very good-looking.
Ye Er did not see the faces of the two, and introduced proudly: "This is the holy medicine that our family has protected for more than two hundred years. Although it is small in weight, its medicinal power is extremely domineering. The amount of this petal can not only detoxify hundreds of poisons, but also restore its skills. Even if the master''s skills are exhausted, he can recover nearly half of his skills in an instant."
Sun Lingming originally thought Ye Er was lying to him, but after listening to her introduction, he also knew that this lotus was indeed a rare treasure. After all, just by detoxifying and regaining the master''s skills, it is no worse than Tianxiang Cardamom''s effect.
So, Ye Er may not have lie to them, but they just didn''t figure it out.
When Ye Er saw that they were not happy at all, but still looked solemn, he realized that the situation was wrong and immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
“There is nothing wrong with the medicine.”
Xuanzang patted Sun Lingming on the shoulder and signaled the other party not to be excited. Then he smiled bitterly and said to Ye Er, "But this is not the holy medicine we are looking for."
Ye Er was also stunned when she heard this. After all, she took out the holy medicine with confidence, but found that the holy medicine she had treasured for more than two hundred years was not what the other party wanted to find. This wave was really a bit embarrassing.
Seeing Sun Lingming''s face full of loss, Ye Er also felt a little guilty, so he asked, "What is the holy medicine you are looking for?"
Hearing this, Xuanzang immediately drew the Tianxiang cardamom on paper.
After seeing it, Ye Er also said in surprise: "So what you are going to find is this extinct holy medicine. Wait, you haven''t even figured out many kinds of holy medicines, so you came from the east from thousands of miles to find medicine? This is too hasty."
Until this time, the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang realized that there were more than one kind of holy medicine in the West. Tianxiang cardamom was a holy medicine, and she didn''t know the name of the flower passed down by Ye Er''s ancestor, but in fact, the flower named Baihuarui was also a holy medicine.
Don’t Sun Lingming want to obtain more information about the West? Of course he also wanted to do it, but in the East, he had only three channels for access to intelligence, Arthur, Lancelot and Gauven.
But these three are all British people and are mortal enemies with Rome. They even have the most superficial understanding of Rome, let alone the Holy See hidden behind the scenes. They can provide Sun Lingming with the most basic information in the West, so that Master and disciple Xuanzang can have a general understanding of Europe, which is already quite good.
After leaving Luoyang and before arriving in Central Asia, even though Xuanzang and the other five had been collecting information, their understanding of Tianxiang Cardamom was the same as before. If they hadn''t met Spartacus for good luck, they wouldn''t even know that Tianxiang Cardamom was in Mount Olympus.
After Xuanzang translated Ye Er''s words, Sun Lingming smiled bitterly and said, "It''s indeed a bit hasty, but there is no other choice."
Seeing this, the three brothers stepped forward to comfort Sun Lingming not to be discouraged. Since Moscow''s holy medicine is not Tianxiang Cardamom, we will continue to travel west to Mount Olympus to find it. Moreover, we did not find anything this time. At least we learned more information about Tianxiang Cardamom.
After hearing this, Ye Er said, "I can tell you all the information I know about this holy medicine, but the premise is that you also have to tell me the reason why you are looking for it."
Hearing this, Sun Lingming nodded to Xuanzang, and Xuanzang translated the cause and effect. When Ye Er actually didn''t believe it when he heard that Sun Lingming came to find Tianxiang Cardamom from thousands of miles away just to save his beloved, he actually didn''t believe it. After all, this was too crazy. But when she saw Sun Lingming''s firm eyes, she trembled in her heart, knowing that the other party should not be lying, and she was moved by the other party''s behavior.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Er still told the information she knew truthfully. It turned out that Ye Er had studied in Europe like Peter, and the relationship between their family and the Holy See has not been broken, so she knew more secrets than Arthur and the other two.
After telling the origin of the Five Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom and why it became extinct, Ye Er suddenly changed the subject and said, "This holy medicine is very important to the Holy See, because it is the last one. Even though many senior officials knew it was impossible, they still hoped to use it to plant new holy medicine, so they gave it up at all.
What do you think that reckless man in Spartacus was targeted for? If he did not rob the holy medicine, he might have been able to struggle for a few more years, but it was because he touched the holy medicine that attracted the attention of the Holy See, so he was wiped out so quickly.
So, with only five of you, even if you arrive at Mount Olympus, you will never be able to get the holy medicine. In the end, you will be besieged to death. ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang and the other two showed a solemn look. In the past, they only knew that Tianxiang cardamom was a very important item for the West, but they did not have a clear understanding of how important it was. It was not until Ye Er''s mouth that they knew how important it was.
This is a hope, a hope to re-cultivate Tianxiang Cardamom, and it is naturally impossible to give it up.
But they didn''t know that the extinction of Tianxiang cardamom was due to the great change of heaven and earth. The environment in later generations was not suitable for the growth of this medicine, let alone that they had fruits rather than seeds, so it was even more impossible to replant Tianxiang cardamom.
Although he knew the importance of Tianxiang Cardamom to the Western Holy See, Sun Lingming still had no intention of retreating. After all, he had already made plans to be an enemy of the Holy See. Once he figured out the location of Tianxiang Cardamom, he would run away. Can the people from the Western Holy See still chase the East to grab it?
Seeing that it was not just Sun Lingming, even Xuanzang and the other four had no intention of retreating. Ye Er just wanted to introduce the strength of the Holy See, how many great masters there are, and what masters there are in the young generation.
"Don''t think you didn''t meet opponents in Eastern Europe, or you think there are no experts in Europe. In fact, there are many strong people in Europe. Even if we are unified in Eastern Europe, we will not be ranked at all in Europe."
Ye Er said truthfully, hoping that he could use this to make the five people retreat. After all, these five people are her benefactors, and she doesn''t want them to die, but she doesn''t know that there are still semi-mysterious existences in this world.
If Ye Er said that there is half mysterious in the West and there are more than one person, then Sun Lingming would probably really consider going back. After all, his not afraid of death does not mean that he will ask his master and his brothers to accompany him to die. But the problem is that Ye Er does not know this, and those grand masters will naturally not scare Sun Lingming and others.
Seeing that the five-person artist was brave and still had no intention of retreating, Ye Er knew that he could not convince the other party, so he had to say helplessly: "Since you are determined to go, I won''t persuade you anymore. But I will rest in Moscow for a while first. I will send someone to inquire about the information about Europe and wait until you have an understanding of the current situation in Europe before leaving."
Ye Er''s move was both kind-hearted, but also had her own selfishness. Although she drove Peter away, the other party was not dead. Instead, she still had a strong force in the royal city.
Therefore, Ye Er was afraid that Peter would make a comeback after Master Xuanzang and his disciples left, and with her subordinates, it was obviously impossible for Peter, the number one general in Moscow.
But if Xuanzang and the other five were still there, even if Peter would lead his army to kill him, she would not be afraid at all. Instead, she would take the opportunity to completely eliminate this threat.
Ye Er wanted to keep people, but Xuanzang and the other two didn''t want to stay for a moment. In their opinion, European intelligence can be collected by themselves after they arrive in Europe, and there is no need to waste time here.
"You have no relationship in Europe. All you can collect is superficial information. You can''t find out at all with a little confidentiality. For example, you all know that Spartacus accidentally robbed the holy medicine, but do you know why he was able to robbed it?"
Seeing that all the five people frowned, Ye Er continued to ask: "The holy medicine is clearly sealed in the Holy Mountain and has not been moved for hundreds of years, but why did it appear outside at this time and let Spartacus get disaster by chance? Have you ever considered this issue?"
The four disciples did not expect this problem, but Xuanzang, as a master, considered it. However, he knew too little about Europe and could not analyze the reason at all. However, after listening to Ye Er''s story, Xuanzang had a bold speculation in his mind.
"Do you tell me if there is such a possibility that because the situation in Europe is becoming increasingly chaotic, the Holy See actually wants to transfer, and Tianxiang Cardamom is just one of the items transferred, but unexpectedly Spartacus hit Spartacus, so it quickly pacified the rebels to regain the stolen items?"
Hearing Xuanzang''s words, everyone present lit up. Perhaps there was something else in it, but only in this way can all be explained.
"If you say so, it will be useless even if you arrive at Mount Olympus. We have lost the position of Tianxiang Cardamom again." Sun Lingming sighed.
"So, don''t rush to leave first. With my Moscow royal family''s network, we will soon help you clarify where the Holy See has moved, and where the Holy See is, the Holy See is likely to be where the Holy See is."
After all, it was said that, Xuanzang and the other two were not good at leaving. After all, what Ye Er said was reasonable. Just leaving in the dark is indeed better than asking the Moscow royal family to help them collect information and leave after they figured out the goal.
After Xuanzang and the other two looked at each other, they nodded tacitly. They thought that the battle in Moscow would be their last difficulty in traveling west, and then they could return to Dongtu early with Tianxiang Cardamom, but they did not expect that this was just the beginning. I don’t know how many hardships there will be later, and they might even have to face the Western Holy See.
However, the five masters and apprentices are fearless. After all, their goal is just Tianxiang Cardamom. Can people who run away from the Holy See still chase the East to grab it?
What the five people did not expect was that this small Tianxiang cardamom turned out to be the last straw that defeated the camel, and they would also become one of the culprits in the destruction of Rome, a decadent empire.
