Chapter 948: Chapter 485: One Person’s Choice_2

It’s a completely new type of treasure.

After Rosacal’s death, you are the person in Boneset Country who felt most ’close’ to this treasure, hence it has found its way into your body.

But as for its actual usefulness ... you need to figure it out slowly over time. This thing is not a Divine Artifact, nor is it a Magical Instrument, but it does have a hint of the properties of a Postnatal Spirit Item.

This is your opportunity, seize it well."

The Bat Taoist proceeded with caution, "This humble one wishes to give this item to the Master."

Owen Bertram burst into hearty laughter: "Don’t underestimate the magnanimity of this official!" The Bat Taoist hurriedly replied, "This humble one was shallow." Bertram continued, "This official can help you analyze the specific use of this treasure, but I tried to probe it just now. This little thing is only close to you and it repels this official. If I were to investigate further, this little thing could cause a ruckus, which may hurt you."

Then Master Bertram gave the Bat Taoist some rewards that were greatly beneficial to spiritual bodies before dismissing him and directing him to go rest.

Then Master Bertram called Lance Cooper: "I will return tomorrow. You must cooperate with Ferdinand. You must defend this city."

"Understood."

As Ilda refused to take the bait, Master Bertram had no desire to wait any longer, he had many matters awaiting his attention at the Summit Metropolitan Office. Besides, wouldn’t the Emperor appreciate being presented with the fruits of their great victory?

...

At the same time that the Bat Taoist released the "torch", a change came over Ilda in her residence some 20 miles from King Port; she turned to look in the direction of King Port and muttered to herself: "It’s finally here."

The Divine Artifact Evil Wine God Distiller could not be replaced. After it was destroyed, the Imperial Secret Breed Research Institute obtained another Divine Artifact, and deduced that the core of the Evil Wine God Distiller had not been completely destroyed, but rather, it had transformed into another form.

The Institute searched high and low without results, and finally speculated that the transformed Evil Wine God Distiller core had likely been taken away by spies of the Wood Dynasty.

That was why Ilda had hurried to the Eastern Land. She had two major responsibilities: one was to execute Owen Bertram in vengeance, and the other was to retrieve the core of the Evil Wine God Distiller.

Ilda had a sudden impulse to directly infiltrate King Port. But considering the current dangerous circumstances in Nanni Nation, Ilda decided to first cautiously enter the city the next day.

This caution saved her life.

The next morning, as soon as she entered the city, she sensed the location of the Evil Wine God Distiller, and then she saw Owen Bertram! Owen Bertram was preparing to return, and of course he was taking the Bat Taoist with him.

Ilda silently cursed: These cunning Wood People!

Had he not already departed? Turns out he was lying in ambush in the city. If I had infiltrated King Port, I would have walked right into his trap! I must be doubly cautious when dealing with this fellow in the future.

She watched Owen Bertram leave, her Seven Mountains Power making sure she went undetected. But both of her objectives for this mission to the Eastern Land had failed. The Evil Wine God Distiller was with Owen Bertram, and she couldn’t take it back.

A sense of unprecedented defeat surged in the heart of the Seven Mountains Power.

After Owen Bertram departed, she also turned to leave King Port, her heart wavering: Was the expedition to the Eastern Land really advantageous to the Boneset Country?

Indeed, Boneset Country had managed to plunder a vast amount of wealth. But as it seemed, of the tens of thousands of faithful followers of Boneset Country in the Nanni Nation, fewer than a thousand would be able to survive and return.

Add to that the completely annihilated Third Expeditionary Legion, over five hundred thousand fatalities from the Boneset Country! How much wealth could buy back those five hundred thousand lives? And wouldn’t there be a huge uproar in the country by now?

...

Just as Ilda had anticipated, there was an unending debate of various forces and opinions within Boneset Country! This country and even this continent had forgotten how their ancestors had been impoverished and backward. After becoming "prosperous", for some unknown reason, they developed a kind of arrogant self-confidence, feeling that they could and should conquer the Eight Desolates.

They easily conquered the Nanni Nation, and felt that everyone else in this world, besides them, is just average. The success in Nanni further fueled their arrogance.

However, their national character still retained a deep-rooted "timidity"; in the words of the Wood People, it was a case of the strong oppressing the weak.

The instantaneous wipeout of the Third Expeditionary Legion, with tens of thousands of believers stranded unable to retreat from Nanni, awakened Boneset Country like a bucket of cold water being dumped on their heads. They quickly sobered up and switched to a different extreme: a full retreat.

But within the empire still remained some warmongers and fanatics, persistently believing that for the glory of My God, no matter how great the sacrifice, they must conquer the Eastern Land! The most faithful believers of My God are never afraid of sacrifice.

These individuals were ostracized in Boneset Country; everyone’s expedition to the Eastern Land was for the sake of wealth, not to give their lives. Candies and chocolates are for the common people to see. Do you fools really take them seriously?

The warmongers and fanatics were naturally very dissatisfied. They subsequently planned several assassination attempts within the empire, with the Pope and Emperor as their targets! Although all failed, they caused political instability within Boneset Country and there was no longer the capacity to pay attention to Nanni.

...

Owen Bertram had returned to the Summit Metropolitan Office with the Bat Taoist, then the Imperial Court announced that the Emperor will personally lead an expedition. The Wood Dynasty was about to conquer Nanni Nation!
