Chapter 288 - 288 288 Reason and Shield Technique

288: Chapter 288: Reason and Shield Technique 288: Chapter 288: Reason and Shield Technique Was it really so?

Zhao Guang felt something subtly off in his heart.

Yet he couldn’t figure out what it was.

If it were him, without a strong backing, he wouldn’t take the risk either.

If he had one, he’d rather enjoy life than strive for more.

So many had failed before, a warning from history.

Zhao Guang silently accepted this reasoning.

“I understand, but I still need to think it over.”

Aleya didn’t mind, simply waving her hand: “If you need help, just come to us at any time, since we’re friends.” When interests were involved, the word “friends” sounded somewhat ironic.

“Right, also about Jeana, I won’t give her to you these days.

We’ll try to impart as much knowledge about priesthood to Jeana in these days, so she can cultivate on her own later.”

“Priesthood really is a convenient profession.”

Apart from some basic stuff, most skills and abilities in priesthood are received from ancestral spirits or the Spirit of Nature, unlike Mages who need to learn a lot of knowledge.

“It’s convenient, but often the effort and gains are disproportionate.”

Compared to Zhao Guang, Aleya actually envied Mages more.

Unfortunately, Beastmen do not have the talent for Mages, and finding a few among them was indeed very difficult.

Carrying the items, Lai Wu waved his hand: “You guys go out first.”

Everyone left the mobile board room, leaving only Lai Wu and Aleya inside.

Lai Wu then lowered his voice and asked, “What do you mean by this?

Why are you recommending the North for him?”

“If it were the South, it would be better for Zhao Guang, at least the Chirali Empire, despite how mad and cruel, wouldn’t kill Human Nobles.

If Zhao Guang collaborated with them, he could even benefit from both sides.”

“But how does that benefit us?” Lai Wu was stunned by Aleya’s words.

“Zhao Guang is our friend, do we need to calculate so much when dealing with friends?”

As a Beastman, Lai Wu was very offended by Aleya’s approach.

Yet, from a broad perspective, Lai Wu found it hard to blame her.

Aleya sipped some water softly: “I know it’s not good, but the blue pill is just too useful.”

“If he goes to the South, not bordering our Beastman Empire, trading in the future will be troublesome.

But in the North, it’s different, I’m just preparing in advance.”

“Didn’t you say the results weren’t tested yet?

Why are you so sure?”

“Of course, though I have never bred a Bimon Giant Beast, our Foxmen have always had this heritage.

Even though it has not been tested yet, I’m sure that the blue pill is definitely useful.”

So that’s it, then it’s no wonder.

If he were in her shoes, he’d likely make the same choice.

Although this would put a friend in jeopardy, the benefit to the Empire was greater.

“But, I still feel somewhat bad about it.”

“What’s bad about it, although the North is dangerous, its potential for development is indeed greater, there’s no mistake in that.

When the time comes, we just need to exert more effort and help him secure a bigger territory, right?”

“Is this really okay?

I always feel somewhat, somewhat…”

“Too utilitarian, is it?

You should know, Zhao Guang himself is a Human merchant, and for merchants, being utilitarian isn’t necessarily a bad thing.” Lai Wu was out of words now, Foxmen are indeed impressive in their articulation.

At least, he was no match for this Fox Demon; Lai Wu simply stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, Zhao Guang returned home, and immediately handled the sales proceeds, then had his older sister and others take away the parts that could be distributed externally.

As for Zhao Guang himself, he continued with his research.

After most of the day’s research, a transparent hemispherical shield appeared beside Zhao Guang.

Shield Technique, an early Mage defense magic, and also a prerequisite skill for various other shield spells.

Since returning and discovering he couldn’t cast Fireball on Earth, Zhao Guang continued his research on this attribute-less spell for his safety.

Shield Technique is such a spell, directly condensing air around to form a shield layer.

But with Zhao Guang’s modification, the Shield Technique turned from originally a small shield to a large one.

This hemispherical shield could protect his entire body behind it.

As for its defensive power, Zhao Guang measured it by using his own Fireball.

His Mage’s hand could only block his own Fireball once.

And after one time, the Mage’s hand would crumble.

But the Shield Technique could easily block three attacks from the Fireball without disintegrating, which was sufficient to demonstrate the strength of the Shield Technique.

Thus, even if he faced missile attacks from enemies later, he could defend himself.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of Shield Technique over Fireball Technique was its quick activation; even if Zhao Guang used it himself, he could nearly trigger it smoothly.

Tapping on this shield, Zhao Guang felt much more secure.

With this, the safety factor on the road would greatly increase.

“Next, is to reach the level of an Intermediate Warrior before setting off.”

Zhao Guang checked the various weapons in his hands, then got up to find Xi Fei and celebrate.

This had become a sort of routine – he always felt uncomfortable without celebrating every time.

“Master, Count Yars just sent a message, urging you to dispatch the goods quickly.”

Seeing Zhao Guang, Xi Fei relayed the message.

Zhao Guang almost forgot; Xi Fei was still acting as his contact, and not just a toy.

“Alright, the goods are almost ready anyway, tell him to come over with people to pick it up tomorrow.”

Xi Fei obediently nodded, then sent out the message, having the Simultaneous Writing Skill was really too convenient.

Watching Xi Fei’s serious writing, the view from behind was truly heart-stirring.

Zhao Guang silently walked up, gently embracing her, and Xi Fei’s body immediately softened.

For Zhao Guang, Xi Fei had already completely lost any guarded mentality.

“Master, wait a moment, I haven’t finished writing.”

“Then you keep writing, I’ll start preparing.”

…..

If it weren’t for the busy early morning the next day, Zhao Guang really wouldn’t want to get up until noon; in the end, it was still Xi Fei who urged him to get up.
