Chapter 448: Chapter 350: Ancient Qi (Part 2)_3

He held the Jade Spoon in his hand and discussed with Ivan: the Flying Sword was a bit inadequate and needed to be re-processed by Elder Brother.

Little Loach listlessly said, "I’m hungry!"

Owen Bertram was annoyed, "You just finished digesting the Thirteen-Colored Strange Butterfly. Do you have a straight intestine? You get hungry as soon as you empty it?"

Little Loach unreasonably retorted, "Yes, I’m hungry. I’m hungry!"

Owen Bertram was actually well-prepared and had taken out the three treasures from the Ancient Corpse, "How about these? Help me improve the Flying Sword."

Little Loach whooshed out his head from Julian Gourd’s belly, sniffed the three magic treasures, and then shook his head vigorously, "Not enough! Elder brother, I’m not who I used to be. You need to work harder and find some real treasures."

Owen Bertram was annoyed, "These War Halberds and crossbows are powerful, especially this crossbow..."

His brother interrupted him lazily, "But you want a Flying Sword. This crossbow is good, it can be used to improve the God-slaying attack."

Owen Bertram was inspired, "I’ll take the God-slaying attack then!"

Little Loach opened his mouth, snapped up the three treasures, and retreated back into the gourd. Owen Bertram patted the gourd, "Don’t be lazy, and quickly create a new God-slaying attack for me. I’ll think of a way to improve the Flying Sword as well."

Flying Swords are so cool; I still like Flying Swords better.

Ivan ignored him, thinking if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass, huh.

...

After one meal, Owen Bertram clearly felt that he had a brand new "communication" with the world around him. His flying speed increased several times, and he could more easily mobilize the surrounding natural energies. In just a few Shichen (several hours), he returned to Looking Cloud Cliff.

David came out to greet him, his face serious, "Sir, there’s been trouble!"

Owen Bertram calmly replied, "Speak."

David said, "The Dandelion Puppet we executed last time belonged to the Central Prison. The Central Prison Commander is furious and has reportedly sent a Tire-1 Offering with his orders to question the crime in Looking Cloud Cliff!"

Owen Bertram was surprised, "It actually alarmed the Central Prison Commander?"

"I took the liberty of investigating. This puppet is named Grace and is an undercover agent under the Central Prison. She seems to be highly regarded there, having completed several important tasks, and having connections with several local Prescotts. I thought there might be some trouble afterwards, but I never imagined it would alarm the Central Prison Commander."

Owen Bertram nodded. Grace had obviously received help from Dandelion to complete those tasks.

"This matter is not just a conflict at our level," Owen instructed David, "You go and investigate this visiting Officiant."

"Yes."

Owen Bertram returned to his room, closed the door, and took out Abner Lane’s Communication Talisman. Moments later, Abner’s voice came from the Communication Talisman, "What’s the matter now? My direct subordinates have never been as annoying as you, contacting me every few days. Can’t you be a subordinate who saves your leader and handles everything on your own?"

Owen felt wronged, "Sir, this time it’s because of you!"

He explained the matter of Grace and continued, "Sir, don’t lie to me. This must be the Central Prison Commander taking advantage of the situation. Tell me honestly, is it because there’s a conflict between you and him, and he can’t get you, so he’s venting on a small role like me?"

Abner was furious, "Owen Bertram! You dare to question me?"

Owen sneered, "Sir, you seem a bit vulnerable."

Abner, being exposed, didn’t feel embarrassed, "Of course, there is competition between the Five Commanders. However, Central Prison and East Prison are the weakest. You don’t have to worry; with me covering you, they won’t dare to do anything to you."

Owen was upset, "Sir, you are on the frontline, and this battle is crucial to the Wood Dynasty’s national fortune. Doesn’t the Central Prison Commander understand that? Can’t any matters wait? Why does he choose this time to react?"

Abner just sighed, "Once you enter the Imperial Court, you will understand. Nowadays, these officials have no sense of the big picture and only calculate their own interests."

After a pause, Abner continued, "Don’t worry, we’re in the right on this matter. If it really comes down to it, Colby Dominic won’t be able to take advantage. He sent a Tire-1 Offering; just present the evidence to him. Be careful, though, he may try some underhanded tactics. For example, this Tire-1 Offering must be very powerful and able to suppress the Summit Metropolitan Office. Be careful that he doesn’t attack you secretly."

Owen pondered, "Sir, rest assured, I’ll be careful."

After my meal, I need to find a test stone to see how powerful my one meal of the Wildland Spirit has made me!

Abner consoled him, "The battle will be over soon; I estimate that I can return in two months, and we won’t have to worry about these troublemakers anymore."

Owen asked, "Can we win?"

"It’s not about winning or losing," Abner sounded lonely, "This battle is just the internal consumption of the Wood Dynasty, sigh."

Owen empathized deeply and mentioned the Dragon and Snake List to Abner incidentally. Abner laughed, "I know the kid Nick Liam is talking about. His name is Wayne Malvin, and coincidentally, he is the son of Colby Dominic’s close friend. However, it’s rumored that he’s Colby’s illegitimate child.

Colby never married, so this kid might be his only descendant."
