My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 586

“Everyone, that river is not moldy or rancid. It is the golden river! As long as you take a sip, you will be able to advance to gold-tier directly. If you soak your body in that river, you will also be able to obtain a powerful attack and defense comparable to a gold-tier weapon,” Watson explained. His voice was not loud, but every elf heard it.

“If you drink it, you can turn into a gold-tier elite. If you soak in it, you can gain a defense comparable to that of a gold-tier weapon. Who would believe it?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

Watson stretched out his hand. Immediately, some elves stood out unwillingly. In just a moment, they caught an ordinary mouse. “I’ve checked that mouse; there’s no problem with it. If it doesn’t get stronger after drinking from the river, it proves that you’re lying. I want you to kneel and apologize to me.”

“Sure.” Watson nodded. “Then what if I am not lying?”

“Shall I kneel and apologize to you?”

Then, the elf threw the mouse in his hand into the river.

In just a moment, the rat struggled in the river and sank. The elf immediately revealed a smug smile. “See, you’re just talking big. Now, I want you to kneel and admit your mistake! Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to kneel. You can give me that beautiful woman beside you as compensation.”

The elf’s eyes were filled with greed as he pointed at Nia. His actions caused a cold glint to flash in Watson’s eyes.

“The time is not up yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Now, look at the rat in the water.”

The elves looked in the direction that he had pointed. Soon, they gasped.

“That rat is not dead! It seems to be swimming in the river.”

“Look, it’s much bigger now. The color of its body has changed from gray to gold, and it has even grown wings! This is too shocking.”

Everyone was even more shocked when the rat flew upward. Its entire body was golden, as if it were made of gold. A pair of huge golden wings on its back flapped gently, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions. There was no doubt that the rat had become a gold-tier magical beast after drinking from the river.

“How could that be?” The elf was dumbfounded.

“A bet is a bet. Now, it’s time for you to kneel and admit your mistake.”

Watson chuckled. The elf pursed his lips. His face was burning hot, and he was hesitating whether or not to kneel.

“I will keep my word. I’ve lost.” After a moment of silence, the elf gritted his teeth and knelt toward Watson.

Watson did not want to find any more trouble with the elf. He turned around and left.

“I didn’t expect that river to have such a powerful effect. I remember the last time I came here, it did not have such an effect. They have a flying city and the golden river. The humans in the fortress city are too lucky.”

After witnessing the effects of the golden river, the elves came to the riverside and drank from it. They had never seen such a precious treasure. It might even be comparable to the Spring of Life. However, it looked like an ordinary river.

If it were not for the war, the elves would not have been able to drink from the Spring of Life. However, they could drink that for the rest of their lives. There were already elves who were planning to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom. They would have to make a few golden rivers to reach the Elven Kingdom.

“This water is so delicious.” An elf who had drunk from the river wiped his mouth and could not help but exclaim in admiration. “Just the clear and refreshing taste alone can make me drink a lot. Furthermore, I feel much better after drinking it.”

“Seriously? I’ll try it too. Wow, it’s really true.”

“Everyone, this is the Holy Dragon Kingdom. It’s better to drink less.” The Elven King coughed and said with dignity, “See, many soldiers come to the riverside to drink from it, and some even took off their armor and jumped into the river. The scene was a bit chaotic.”

After all, that was not his kingdom. It would be terrible if someone poisoned the water. Furthermore, those elves said that the water was delicious. How delicious could river water be?

“Your Majesty, the water is really delicious. Try it.”

The elven Elder, Landon, used ice magic to create a simple cup. He held the cup in his hand and handed it to the Elven King.

The Elven King took the cup and took a sip even though he did not want to drink it. After taking a sip, his eyes instantly widened. “That taste—”

“Isn’t it delicious? This is the first time I’ve drank water from the river. Nothing was added to it, but it has a refreshing sweetness. I felt better after drinking it.”

“Go and get me another cup.”

The Elven King, who was filled with hostility toward the golden river water just a moment ago and thought that the water was dirty and unhygienic, also became intoxicated.

In just a few minutes, all the elves sat on the bank of the river and enjoyed the water. All of them looked intoxicated, including the Elven King, who was holding a cup and tasting it carefully. Soon, he snapped back to his senses and realized something was wrong. He slammed the cup onto the ground.

Crack!

“We are here to attack the fortress city. Why are we staying by the river bank? Get up!”

“Well, Your Majesty, don’t be so anxious. Delta said that the planetary fortress would take half a day to get here. Instead of searching like a headless fly, we might as well eat something here! Let’s first try the bamboo rat that I roasted. That bamboo rat is a gold-tier magical beast that has consumed the river water. Its meat is fresh, tender, and full of nutrients. You won’t be able to eat it anywhere else.”

Some of the elves beside him had already started a fire to roast some gold-tier magical beasts to eat. Among them, Pagani placed a skewer of freshly roasted bamboo rats in front of him and blew on it before passing it to the Elven King.

The Elven King did not want to eat it at first, but the surface of the gold-tier bamboo rats gave off a golden light and had crispy skin. Coupled with the continuous fragrance of the meat, he could not help but swallow his saliva and take a small bite of it.

“This meat is so delicious.” Like an elf who loved nature, their cooking methods were particular about maintaining the original flavor of the ingredients. They rarely used fire, and even if they did use fire, they would only roast it slightly. The meat in front of him was roasted to the right temperature. It was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants. Perhaps he had consumed the golden river water that he felt completely different, but that was the first time he had eaten such delicious bamboo rat meat.

“Just eating meat feels like something is missing. Your Majesty, why don’t you come and have some wine with us?”

Wine?

Where did the wine come from?

After the Elven King wolfed down a bamboo rat, he was stunned when he heard Pagani’s words.

He turned around and realized that Pagani had a pot of wine in his hand. The wine had a golden sun color, and it was full of a rich fruit fragrance and a familiar taste.

“That is the taste of the sun fruit. Is that brewed from the sun fruit?”

“Your Majesty, you really are an elite! That’s right, that wine was brewed from sun fruit. It was called the sun fruit wine. The Holy Dragon Kingdom sells it for 1,000 gold coins per cup. For you, Your Majesty, I only charge 500 gold coins for all the wine that your troops have bought today.”

Watson held two bottles of sun fruit wine in his hands and walked toward the Elven King.
