Chapter 463 The Watchman Who Inherits The Mission, The Inheritor Of Human Civilization!
"You? Are you a group of people specifically searching for ancient relics?"
"These things are your spoils of war, right?"
"Who are the Watchers? Are they your leaders?"
Chen Yu had a feeling that this person seemed to be able to provide some help to him.
"Yes, sir, we are indeed such a group of people, relying on ancient relics to survive," the old man replied.
"We..."
Under the onslaught of money, the old man revealed everything about Chen Yu without reservation.
Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he shook out his life experiences of just over thirty years.
He dared not hide anything from Chen Yu, nor did he have any thoughts of harming Chen Yu.
After all, being able to produce such precious magic crystals proved that Chen Yu was definitely an extraordinary person.
This group of people, like the old man, were called "Scavengers."
If on Earth, there were titles such as "Tufuzi" or "Tomb Raiders."
Although there were no laws protecting ancient relics in this world.
But practical items were rarely found in ancient relics, so life was not comfortable.
Among the group of scavengers, there was a special individual called the "Watcher."
The Watcher was passed down from generation to generation, extremely mysterious, with only one person in each generation.
They had been wandering in the major relics since ancient times.
Legend has it that it was under the guidance of the Watcher that the current human race was able to stand firm and not be completely wiped out in a dangerous environment.
Even the crops that humans relied on for survival were created by the Watcher.
Every time humanity was about to face a catastrophic disaster, the Watcher would step forward and protect the human race with astonishing abilities.
Legend has it that the Watchers had a very important mission, and their purpose in protecting the continuation of humanity was to pass on their own mission.
This mission was too ancient and too long-lasting, requiring someone to inherit it from generation to generation.
In fact, it was not accurate to say that the Watcher was a member of the scavengers.
Because the group of scavengers was initially attracted by the Watcher's tales of the glorious ancient times, and thus, for the unattainable dream in their hearts, they chased after the countless eras that had been erased.
The scavengers relied on the prestige of the Watcher within the human community to exist.
The Watcher trained the scavengers in order to find suitable individuals for inheritance.
"So, the Watcher should have a deep understanding of ancient times, right?" Chen Yu asked.
"Of course!" the old man proudly said.
"Everything about modern humans comes from the tireless efforts of every generation of Watchers."
"And the Watcher, sir, is the one who inherited that legendary era."
"Do you know where this generation's Watcher is?" Chen Yu asked. "Coincidentally, I am very curious about that era and have some questions to ask."
"This..." the old man seemed hesitant.
Without saying a word, Chen Yu directly threw a bag of Abyss magic crystals.
The old man opened the bag, his eyes widening.
"Since the Watcher has such a reputation, I can find him without your help," Chen Yu said calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes, sir!" The old man nodded and bowed. "We scavengers do indeed have a way to contact the Watcher, sir."
"I can take you to meet my boss, but only the boss knows if we can contact the Watcher, sir."
He held onto the bag of magic crystals tightly, his withered hands bulging with veins.
Chen Yu nodded. "Just take me there. Whether we can contact him or not, these are all yours."
After spending some time in this small world, Chen Yu finally had a clue. Naturally, he wouldn't let it slip away.
After about three hours, Chen Yu successfully met the leader of the scavengers in a house on the outskirts of the city-state.
The group of scavengers has many leaders, and the old man is one of them.
He is a strong and robust male, standing at 1.7 meters tall, which is quite outstanding among humans today.
He possesses a diverse range of Abyss magic, with an estimated strength of around Rank Four.
"May I ask, who are you, sir?" the scavenger leader asked cautiously.
He has seen people who are generous, but he has never seen someone as generous as Chen Yu.
The old man's level is not high enough to understand, but he is very clear about the true value of that bag of magic crystals.
All of these magic crystals are in excellent condition and of superior quality.
If used to ripen crops, they would be enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several years!
Magic crystals of this quality are usually prioritized for powerful Abyss hunters to cultivate.
Their value is almost equivalent to the entire city-state's reserves!
Moreover, can someone so handsome, like a natural-born human, really exist in reality?
"Your subordinates should have informed you of my purpose. I want to see the Watcher. If things go well, all of these will be yours."
Chen Yu waved his hand.
A large pile of magic crystals fell "clattering" in front of the scavenger leader, forming a small mountain.
The scattered fragments almost covered the entire floor of the room.
"Gulp—" The scavenger leader swallowed his saliva.
He couldn't estimate the exact value of these magic crystals.
Because they are worth more than the entire city-state!
With these magic crystals, the city-state's population can at least multiply several times in the near future!
"Is it enough? If not, I can add more."
Chen Yu continued to pour out the magic crystals.
These things are the basic building materials in the Abyss.
For demons above Rank Six, they are useless except for their ornamental value.
Although they can be considered as a type of resource, they are as common as "soil" and "sand".
Abyss Lords generally do not keep track of how many Abyss magic crystal veins are in their territory.
Because there are simply too many, and they are useless.
The key is that this stuff is a renewable resource.
After being mined, it won't be long before it grows back.
Especially in the birthing pool area, there are as many as there are.
Among the best quality Abyss magic crystal veins, an extremely pure "High Level Abyss Magic Crystal" will be born, which can directly increase Abyss magic when used.
This is the rare resource that demons compete for. In Chen Yu's Cracked Void Demon Realm, he can only harvest dozens of them in a year.
"That's enough, that's enough! Sir! These are enough!"
The scavenger leader was almost overwhelmed by the Abyss magic crystals, shouting in panic.
"Enough? Alright, then help me make contact."
Chen Yu finally stopped releasing Abyss magic crystals.
These low-quality Abyss magic crystals are prepared to be used as reserves of Abyss magic.
After the consumption of heart-based stored Abyss magic, they can be absorbed and replenished by the Floating Light Spirit.
The reserve is not much, only a few dozen... kilometers.
Unexpectedly, they are now being put to additional use.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will immediately contact the Watcher."
The scavenger struggled to move out of the pile of magic crystals and walked into another room.
