Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Weapons and Influence_1

"Weapons of different shapes have significant differences in their specializations; daggers and spears, clearly meant for close combat, tend to have many secret techniques attached to them."

As Dou Yanlan spoke, she glanced at the greatsword Feng Yuan had tossed on the grass, then towards the staff in Qi Chen’s hand and said,

"As for staffs and other magic-oriented weapons, they tend to house a large amount of spiritual power in order to control and unleash secret techniques."

Listening to Dou Yanlan explain to Qi Chen, Feng Yuan walked up to Yang Hongzhi with a mischievous smile and said,

"How about it? Want to practice using a staff?"

"Forget it... I’m not accustomed to it..."

Glancing at Najia, Yang Hongzhi said with some difficulty. Although he wasn’t clear on the difference between a weapon imbued with the power of Divine Beasts and ordinary weapons, it was still a gesture from Najia. However, as staffs belonged to the category of casting weapons, and he had been training for so long in close combat, it was not suitable for him to learn to use a staff now.

Feng Yuan said with some regret,

"That’s really a pity～"

Najia, seeing Feng Yuan’s unkind smile, became somewhat wary and asked,

"What... are you trying to do?"

Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said innocently,

"What can I do? I just think that with your help, he should be able to participate in the regional competition now."

"Me?! Participate in a regional competition?!"

"No, no! I’m not strong enough."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"With Najia by your side, you still say you’re not strong enough? Have you considered the feelings of others?"

"This..."

After being singled out by Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi suddenly realized. Najia was a Divine Beast, and if it could assist him, of course, he couldn’t say his strength was lacking. However, thinking about his relationship with Najia, Yang Hongzhi felt conflicted. Feng Yuan glanced at Najia and said,

"What? You think he’s not qualified to be your Divine Pact Maker?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Najia, who had come to a sudden realization, understood what Yang Hongzhi was conflicted about. With a slight smile, she looked at Yang Hongzhi and then lightly patted the back of his hand with her small hand. A golden Rune flickered on the back of Yang Hongzhi’s hand before gradually fading away.

"Najia..."

Yang Hongzhi didn’t know how to express his feelings at that moment. Najia smiled and threw herself into his arms. The waitress, surprised by all this, covered her mouth and whispered softly,

"A... Divine Beast contract!"

Although she couldn’t recognize Najia, the runes of a Divine Beast contract were very distinct and impossible to counterfeit. Seeing the Divine Beast contract, she understood that Najia was indeed a Divine Beast.

Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No!"

The waitress looked at Feng Yuan somewhat anxiously. Although Divine Pact Makers were generally good people, that was usually when they were under the care of the country from a young age. It was rare for someone like Yang Hongzhi to become a Divine Pact Maker as an adult, and she didn’t dare to assume whether he was a good person or not.

"Don’t worry～ we are all good people～"

Seeming to guess what she was worried about, Feng Yuan said with a mysterious smile, and the waitress, still looking scared.

Inside the Alliance’s small meeting room, the representatives of the Divine Land Region & the Omeilia Region, along with the Omeilia Region representatives and the Alliance Grand Elder, sat together. The Divine Land Region representative, puzzled, said to the Alliance Grand Elder,

"What happened? Why did you summon us?"

"You should look at this first."

"This is..."

After reading the document given by the Alliance Grand Elder, the two representatives fell into thought. After a while, the Divine Land Region representative spoke,

"So, are you saying this is the aftermath of the Emerald Ruins?"

"Calien... such a headache inducer..."

The representative from the Omeilia Region couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless. After all, Calien might only appear to be an ordinary rural city within the Omeilia Region with unimpressive overall development, but anyone with a certain status understood that Bola Machinery held a pivotal position across many nations of the Omeilia Region, even securing several important seats within the Union Council of Oria, the foremost power of Omeilia.

Ordinary people might not know where the true headquarters of Bola Machinery were, but how could someone at the level of regional representative be ignorant? The representative from the Omeilia Region was now somewhat worried about how to explain this accident to Bola Machinery. After all, if he didn’t notify them, and someone with ulterior motives informed them instead, they might not do anything directly, but how could he truly anticipate their thoughts?

With this in mind, the representative from the Omeilia Region rubbed his temples with a headache and turned to the Divine Land Region representative with a puzzled look, saying,

"This matter seems to have been resolved, but what exactly is it that you want to tell us...?"

"One is for notification, and the other is whether your attitude towards him is..."

Having read the records on the documents, the representative from the Divine Land Region understood whom the Grand Elder of the Alliance was referring to, and after a moment of thought, said,

"I shall discuss this matter with the ambassador from the Great Xia Region..."

"Tsk, you talk as if you’re not from Great Xia."

The representative from the Omeilia Region glanced disdainfully at the Divine Land Region representative, who straightened up and said,

"Since I am the representative of both Divine Land & Omeilia Regions, I naturally cannot be subjectively biased towards any country. It is my duty."

The representative of the Omeilia Region revealed a mocking smile but sighed a moment later and did not ridicule any further because he was the same. Once the Omeilia Region won the championship of the regional Beast Taming competition, most of the responsibilities would fall to him, and his attitude was certainly the same as the other’s.

"Speaking of which, your regional competition seems to be coming up soon."

The Grand Elder of the Alliance looked at the two with some curiosity. Although most people were not optimistic about the Divine Land Region when they first learned that the Omeilia Region had four Divine Pact Makers who met the qualifying conditions, the situation became uncertain with the emergence of Feng Yuan from the Divine Land Region. From the intelligence they had at present, he could easily summon not just one but multiple Divine Beasts to aid him.

Just the thought of the moment during the competition when the Omeilia Region’s Divine Pact Makers were about to ask the Divine Beasts to strike and end the fight, only to find that Lorraine Tower, Gitalien, the White Wolf Deity, Nagna, and others were already waiting there with malicious grins at their opponents... left everyone feeling somewhat disheartened.

While they were unclear about the specific rankings of the Divine Beasts’ power, that did not prevent them from categorizing Divine Beasts as upper, middle, and lower based on their usual performances. Regrettably, the Divine Pact Makers from the Omeilia Region who could compete were almost all bonded with lower Divine Beasts, with only one bound to a middle-tier Divine Beast.

The representative from the Divine Land Region said with a headache,

"It’s scheduled for next year, but there’s an unstable factor..."

All three understood what that unstable factor was. Although it looked like a certain victory for the Divine Land Region with his participation, heaven only knew whether the common folk could accept this process. After all, if he really did so, it would seem too much like a case of bullying by the strong, something the citizens of the Divine Land Region might not mind, but the Omeilia Region would be another story...

"I think they probably won’t mind too much..."

The representative from the Omeilia Region said with a headache. After all, if one were to delve deeper, the sudden emergence of four Divine Pact Makers in the Omeilia Region was not much better, but Feng Yuan taking the stage alone and bringing too many Divine Beasts was a bit contrary to the rules.

"Although according to his character, he probably won’t participate, but..."

The representative from the Divine Land Region pondered, and the Grand Elder of the Alliance coughed before saying,

"So, what exactly do you plan to do about him?"

"You really don’t want it?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s inquiry, Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said calmly,

"No money, can’t afford it, goodbye."

"I think my money might just be enough~"

"No need, I don’t require a weapon for the time being."

"Then forget it."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan quizzically, and Qi Xiaoshuang said with incomprehension,

"You gave up so easily?"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and replied,

"Your brother said he doesn’t want it, what else can I do? Force it on him?"

"Besides, it’s not like I can’t forge weapons."

"Uh..."

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, guessing that there must be a reason Feng Yuan gave up so easily. She assumed that the weapons here simply weren’t up to his standards, so he hadn’t insisted.
