Chapter 344
Under Daphne's guidance, Cheng Yu and the other two walked forward.
After walking two or three kilometers, Cheng Yu and Aphra finally heard the strange sound that Daphne mentioned.
A large area of buzzing sound was the sound of bees vibrating their wings.
Looking forward, hundreds of basketball-sized beehives were built on the big trees in the woods in front, and a large number of bees were flying around in the woods, making a noisy sound.
Cheng Yu had heard Antoine say before that Jean was raising bees, and the honey production was very high. This should be here.
Raising so many bees in a short period of time, it must be said that the seventh-level insect magician is really good.
Walking to the woods in front, Cheng Yu shouted twice at the woods, "Jean! Jean!"
After a while, an old man in a black robe appeared in front of Cheng Yu, and an old voice came from under the black robe, "Lord, why are you here?"
"I'm passing by and take a look at the bees you raise." Cheng Yu said.
"My little cuties are very hardworking. They work non-stop every day to produce honey."
Gene praised his bees.
"Oh my god, these are not little cuties at all, they are clearly little cows and horses."
Cheng Yu was taught to describe insects like bees as hardworking, praising hardworking little bees. When he grows up, he will see that they are definitely cows and horses.
"By the way, do you have any honey here? Give me some."
Sugar-making technology is not well developed in the Celsis continent, and honey is the main source of sweetness.
Cheng Yu used sugar in the system store with positive emotion points.
Since Gene produces a lot of honey here, there is no need to waste positive emotion points to exchange sugar in the system store.
"The previous honey was given to Antoine. If you want, I can take some from the hive."
Cheng Yu took out a jar from the system warehouse, "Give me some."
Gene took the jar and walked under a hive. With just a thought, all the bees in the hive flew away.
Open the beehive and put the beeswax block with honey into the jar. It is real pure natural honey.
Gene gave Cheng Yu a full jar of honey.
The rich honey aroma tempted people.
Cheng Yu dipped his index finger in some honey and tasted it. The taste was mellow and sweet, quite good.
While Cheng Yu was tasting the honey, Daphne walked up to Gene and looked at the old man in a black robe curiously, "Grandpa, why do you cover your whole body with a black robe?"
"My true face will scare others."
Gene's old body was crawling with all kinds of insects, and he lived with the insects. Any normal person would feel nauseous when seeing it.
So Gene covered his whole body with a black robe to avoid scaring people.
Listening to the conversation between Gene and Daphne, Cheng Yu felt that Gene was not a vicious person. He injured Mavil just to get the magic crystal and prepare alchemical potions to prolong his life, just like adventurers hunting monsters for gold coins.
"You guys try it too."
Cheng Yu gave the jar of honey to Aphra and Daphne.
Afra tasted it with her fingers and it was too sweet. She didn't like it very much and passed it to Daphne beside her.
Daphne imitated Aphra and tasted some with her fingers. She was surprised and said, "Wow, Master Cheng Yu, this is really delicious."
"Eat it if you like it."
It seems that Daphne likes sweets just like Ivennie.
Cheng Yu took out another jar for Gene and asked Gene to fill him another jar of honey.
"It's quiet here without the noisy old guys from the Wizard Tower."
Gene said while filling the honey.
"What is the Wizard Tower?"
Cheng Yu had heard Gene talk about the Wizard Tower before, but he didn't ask in detail.
The necromancer Angus also talked about the Wizard Tower, which made Cheng Yu curious.
"The Wizard Tower is an organization composed of high-level magicians. It is little known. Whenever the Black Sun Empire is in danger of life and death, the king will ask the people of the Wizard Tower to help the Black Sun Empire through the crisis. Correspondingly, the Black Sun Empire will also give the Wizard Tower the greatest support."
Magicians of the seven, eight, and nine levels can be called high-level magicians.
Although Cheng Yu had guessed that there were powerful hidden masters in the Black Sun Empire before, he was still a little surprised to hear Gene's words.
"Are you also from the Wizard Tower?"
"Yes."
Gene admitted.
Aphra has lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time she has heard of the Wizard Tower. She suddenly remembered something, "Three hundred years ago, the demon general Nightmare led his army to break through the northern fortress and fought all the way to the capital of the Black Sun Empire, and then was inexplicably killed instantly. Could it be that your Wizard Tower did it?"
Jin nodded, "Yes, that time, the king of the Black Sun Empire asked for help from the Wizard Tower, and the owner of the Wizard Tower took action himself."
"So that's how it is."
Afra secretly remembered in her heart that this kind of secret is a good subject for writing a book.
Cheng Yu once andNightmare had made an agreement that he would take Nightmare with him next time he went to the capital. Nightmare wanted to find out who killed him instantly. Now he knew that it was the owner of the Wizard Tower.
"How strong is the owner of the Wizard Tower?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen the owner of the Wizard Tower either." Gene said.
"Aren't you from the Wizard Tower? Why haven't you seen the owner of the Wizard Tower?"
"The Wizard Tower has nine supreme seats, all of which are ninth-level magicians. Only magicians in the supreme seats are qualified to see the owner of the Wizard Tower. I entered the Wizard Tower just to get acquainted."
According to Gene, the strength of the owner of the Wizard Tower is at least above the ninth level.
The Black Sun Empire has been able to stand for thousands of years. Its true strength is indeed not as simple as it seems.
"If the Wizard Tower is so strong, why doesn't it just destroy the demons to eliminate future troubles?" Cheng Yu asked.
"The demons also have organizations similar to the Wizard Tower, which are as powerful as the Wizard Tower and deter each other."
This is like two nuclear-armed superpowers that will not use nuclear weapons against each other right away.
"Really? Xiaofu."
Cheng Yu asked Aphra, who is one of the twelve cadres of the demons and should know the demons' trump cards.
Afra smiled awkwardly, "It seems so. I usually stay at home most of the time and don't know much about various gossips."
"You are too much of a homebody."
Cheng Yu complained and took the honey from Gene.
Gene said with interest, "In fact, I am more interested in you, Lord, than the owner of the Wizard Tower. Your strength is so strong that you can rival the owners of the nine supreme seats of the Wizard Tower. Those people were famous strongmen before they hid their identities, but you are different, as if you came out of thin air."
"Moreover, the owners of the nine supreme seats of the Wizard Tower are all over 200 years old, but you are very young."
Cheng Yu half-jokingly said, "Who told you that I am young? What if I am an old monster who has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years?"
"Old monsters don't have the vitality of you."
Gene has been in the Wizard Tower for a while and has come into contact with some people. Although some old guys use special means to make themselves look very young, the old-fashioned temperament on them cannot be changed.
Cheng Yu gave Gene the feeling of frivolity and instability, just a young man in his early twenties.
