Chapter 1023: Chapter 257: Persistence Pays Off_4

"Should I change it to ’Blue Shadow Liuli Crystal Gao Cen’?" Liu Zhenhan thought about it and felt that the name was indeed a hell of a mouthful.

Despite the falling out, business must go on. Liu Zhenhan handed over the introductory letter prepared by Mourinho to the two financial directors and asked them to send people to the Southwestern Border to buy Fire Pu pearls and scavenge solid asphalt; as for the armor plating issues for the mounts, Liu Zhenhan also meticulously asked for the opinions of several cavalry captains. Except for thinking that doing so might look a bit ugly, they had no other complaints. The Antelope Heavy Cavalry were already manufacturing the "Cooler Chain Armor," so they were spared from this batch. Liu Zhenhan didn’t forget about the armor for the magical pets— he even ordered someone to coat a layer of rosin and gravel armor onto Qian Qian’s triple-headed crocodile tortoise and Helen’s Base Dragon. As for Guoguo, he certainly disdained doing so.

Liu Zhenhan took out half a day to assist Moer in coating a layer of "Ares’ Radiance Divine Song" on the metal totem poles of the low-ranking Antelope Warrior officers. As for the totem poles of the Antelope Air Cavalry, Liu Zhenhan believed it would be best to also bless them with this Forbidden Magic barrier. It would disable the use of Intermediate Magic, thus rendering the Two-Headed Chimera and the Newton Giant Bird useless—their pathetic magic would be no more. Nonetheless, this also meant that intermediate mages would no longer have a way to handle them, which was indeed a good deal.

Liu had tasks piling up one after another, and soon assigned the task of enchanting the totem poles for four hundred and thirty-nine Antelope Air Cavalry to Moer. With plenty of time, Moer could slowly enchant them. Since the "Ares’ Radiance Divine Song" was just a Mandarin battle song, it took Moer merely five minutes to learn and sing it better than Liu Zhenhan, almost driving him nuts with jealousy.

Qian Qian’s enhancement instrument, the "Pearl Seven-Stringed Zither," was also handed over to the Elf artisans for crafting. Qian Qian’s zither, used to mimic the chord sounds produced by the tear impacts of the Cardiel Bay Crocodile Warriors, had pearls inlaid on its seven strings with strict spacing requirements, and the Elves, who excel at creating such lavish and exquisite instruments, made perfect use of their skills.

For the three peculiar pets that he personally roped in along with the Saintess, Liu Zhenhan showed the generosity typical of a provincial landlord. Not only did he bring out large amounts of Night Pearls for making the Pearl Seven-Stringed Zither, but he also embedded a centipede pearl, extracted from the head of a Bamboo Giant Centipede, into the zither strings. Since Qian Qian could mimic the Cardiel species’ special ability "Tears of Ding Dong Chord" to summon a sky full of water arrows, this illusion-enhancing centipede pearl, causing confusion and paralysis outside of the water arrows, matched perfectly.

To enhance Qian Qian’s combat ability, Liu Zhenhan gave his all, embedding the zither body with Acathurte Magic Crystal, a premium enhancement item. As for the "Spirit Igniting Necklace" made from Heart of Blood Feather and Magic Crystal, it was an indispensable piece of equipment. In the end, four Pearl Seven-Stringed Zithers were custom-made. Besides the one Qian Qian played, the other three were inlaid with Bamboo Centipede Magic Crystal, Fei Wenli Python Magic Crystal, and Bato Demon Magic Crystal, respectively. Liu Zhenhan planned to use them to win over Qian Qian’s uncle’s family of three, a measure to prepare for a rainy day.

Currently, Liu Zhenhan, apart from still having thousands of low-tier Magic Crystals and nine extorted Heart of Blood Feathers, had entirely emptied out his inventory.

Whether roping in a Saintess or maintaining a dedicated mage, it’s indeed very costly. Just thinking about the price of a single Pearl Seven-Stringed Zither, even Liu Zhenhan couldn’t help but whistle in awe.

Ruona was not idle either; taking advantage of the time coming back, she used a Beryl Dragon Pearl to make a cross necklace that matched Liu Zhenhan’s current punk hairstyle, with a thick silver chain that forged the most authentic heavy metal style, fitting Liu Zhenhan’s image perfectly. As for crafting large potions with the Beryl Dragon Pearl, Liu Zhenhan decided to wait till they entered the desert and were utterly bored before slowly making them.

Ruona and Daisy each took out a Dragon Ball, made a ring out of it, and wore it on their fingers, beginning to study the magic they were fond of. However, just half a day later, the two Fairy Dragons began to complain incessantly, as meditation turned out to be such a tedious task!

Liu was utterly dumbfounded, never imagining when the two Fairy Dragons had turned into Saint Chiao. He dared not harbor any illusions anymore.

Ning Yu was even more anxious. Without curing a certain poison within a day, she couldn’t use the Vajra Teleportation Array to return to the island thousands of miles away. Yet she had no clue how to cure the poison, nor did she know what Richard’s plan was. Richard seemed very calm, no matter how much she asked, he simply wouldn’t tell; he took out the two young masters’ loads each day, mingling secretly with a group of militiamen, with unknown intentions.

Liu was no less anxious himself. He merely waited for an opportunity, an exceedingly slim one, hence he told no one about it. When necessary, he still preferred to resolve issues with the violent approach of cutting through the chaos swiftly, as brainstorming was simply too troublesome for him.

At the final banquet before departure, Liu was pleasantly surprised to discover that the head of the swan priests had not appeared among the crowd of Caiyu City priests. This revelation was a delightful surprise to Liu ------------------ Most of the twelve chief priests were busybodies involved in myriad duties. Except for the three who were preparing to go into battle, the others had already started leaving the royal city in the last two days. If Mourinho was still in Sabak, he wouldn’t miss this banquet hosted by the elders, especially since it was the last dinner, and even Liu was attending. How could a gentleman like Mourinho possibly not be there?

After asking Helen to toast the beautiful snake mistress Cui Beixi, Liu obtained the answer he most desired --------------- The head of the swan priests had returned to the Southwest Province a day before to oversee the affairs of relocating several Vassal Clans and the Smey family to Caiyu City.

"Heaven helps me too!" Liu sighed deeply, knowing his chance had finally arrived; he wanted nothing more than for Mourinho to clear out as soon as possible.
