Chapter 115 115. Heir
Thousands of miles apart.
Nice weather with clear blue sky.
Morning Light City, the capital of the Principality of Sheen, is a city with a long history.
It is located on the border with the Kingdom of Dongqi. As one of the frontline cities, it is personally commanded by Grand Duke Dafen.
Inside the magnificent castle, the hall was brightly lit and young figures were dancing in each other’s arms.
Duke Dafen sat in the main seat. He had pure black hair and looked about forty years old. He was somewhat similar to Evelyn, but his features were sharper and he looked a bit mean. His eyes were sharp and he looked intimidating without even getting angry. A long sword was inserted next to his seat, like a cane, and he was holding the hilt of the sword.
Evelyn sat beside her, crossing her legs with a lazy expression. On the other side was a young woman with short dark brown hair, sitting upright, an envoy from the Principality of Arlans, an ally of the Ryan Alliance, who was valued by Duke Dafen.
As for Evelyn, although she no longer had a title, Duke Dafen reluctantly recognized her position in view of the gifts she brought and her status as the eldest daughter.
Warrior's Blood is really good!
Duke Dafen, who was always reluctant to give praise, had to admit that this was a top-quality wine. Its purity and taste were distinct and very much to his liking.
As for the strategic role that Evelyn had repeatedly boasted about, it was also confirmed.
With the Principality's background, there are quite a few third-level warriors, and those on the verge of second-level can easily gather hundreds of people.
The test was conducted in groups of ten, and later three people broke the limit.
"This is really great stuff!" Duke Dafen was overjoyed and decided to hold a banquet.
The name of the Warrior's Blood also spread quickly through the spread of eyewitnesses.
Regardless of the taste, just based on its auxiliary function of breaking the limit, even if it tastes worse than urine, there will still be a lot of people willing to try it.
Under the influence of rumors, the effect of Warrior's Blood became more and more amazing, and its effect was vaguely equivalent to the legendary Fountain of Life. It was called Limit Breaking Wine and Water of Life.
Evelyn immediately became the person that all the soldiers wanted to curry favor with, and naturally she recruited many subordinates.
Use wine as temptation!
She boasted to others that she had a concentrated version of warrior blood that was more powerful than warrior blood, and selected a few lucky people whose energy and blood were at limit to try it on the spot.
Someone breaks through again!
This time the probability has increased to one third.
The situation began to get out of control! The warriors who had been stuck at the checkpoint for a long time had already regarded the blood of the warriors as their only hope of breaking through.
Some people are willing to give up all their property in exchange for a bottle of warrior blood and a chance to break through.
Evelyn realized that she had gone too far, and then she lived in seclusion, rarely showing up in public, avoiding the entanglement of warriors.
Duke Dafen was very angry when he heard the news. He asked Evelyn why she didn't bring out the better wine. "Mother, you should know that wine of that level is actually harmful to people. I am doing this for your own good."
Dafen reluctantly believed Evelyn's explanation and only asked her to hand over the extra concentrated liquor.
“Alas, mother, this was originally meant for you. Don’t say that I didn’t show filial piety to you.” Evelyn pretended to be helpless and reached out to fish in the space bag.
Pottery wine jars were taken out one by one
Duke Dafen was very curious about the material the wine was packed in. It looked like it was neither metal nor wood, but he resisted the urge to ask too many questions.
"How much warrior blood do you produce every year?"
"Three or five ships won't be a big problem."
"Consider selling the technology to me. By the way, you should ask the lord about this matter. You don't have the right to make the decision now." Duke Dafen waved his hand in disdain.
In the eyes of Duke Dafen, Evelyn is already a woman of no value.
"My son is very obedient!" Evelyn emphasized that she has absolute influence: "Don't think that my relationship with my son is the same as yours. I only have one child! He has all my love!"
"Okay! You're awesome!" Duke Dafen, who had never had a son in his life, felt sour in his heart: "When are you going back? I'll call a boat to take you back."
"Are you really that kind?"
"Don't think too much! You are just a sideline. The blood of the warrior is of great significance and is directly related to the strength of the principality. I want Leah to talk to Lovi again."
"Don't even think about it. I won't agree to it."
"Hey! Do you agree that it has something to do with you?"
"Of course! I'm the investor and the major shareholder, you can just talk to me."
In order to win over his eldest daughter, Duke Dafen reluctantly invited Evelyn into his warehouse: "Okay, choose whatever you like."
Evelin hummed with the tip of her nose: “That’s more like it.”
My mother's magic warehouse has been coveted for many years. The reason why Evelyn wanted to become a duke was to inherit the warehouse.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Unfortunately, the purpose was discovered later! Dafen angrily rebuked him for gathering the huge savings of more than 100 cities in the principality.
There were various precious magic supplies in it, several times more than Evelyn’s magic warehouse.
"The True Knowledge Headband can store memories, pass on knowledge, and increase meditation speed! Such a good thing is actually left in the warehouse to gather dust."
"Don't blame me for not telling you that the Circlet of True Knowledge can only be used by a Sanctuary-level spellcaster! If you force yourself to use it, you may collapse and become an idiot due to the mental strain!"
Evelin curled her lips, picked it up and put it on her head, frowning slightly.
"Don't force yourself!"
Dafen studied Evelyn's expression and found that she was not forced at all.
If one can't hold on any longer, his face will turn pale, sweat will appear on his head, and he will take it off on his own without anyone telling him to.
“This belongs to me!” After a few minutes, Evelin took off the headband and said with a smile.
"You really know how to ask for too much." Duke Dafen showed a painful expression.
The Circlet of True Knowledge is not an ordinary piece of equipment. It requires at least a sanctuary spellcaster to use it.
It is common knowledge that equipment with prerequisites is far more valuable than ordinary magic equipment.
For example, there is a sword that ordinary people cannot pull out, and only strong people above the Saint Realm can wield it. This sword is probably very powerful! It has various special abilities.
Duke Dafen said unwillingly: "This is a benefit I give to Earl Lovi. It has nothing to do with you. Take me to give it to Earl Lovi."
“Don’t worry, I will keep it well for my son.” Evelyn happily put the headband into the space bag, her greedy eyes continuing to stay on the other magic item.
"Just stop it!"
Duke Dafen forcibly dragged Evelyn out of the warehouse and called on the guards to lock the door.
"I've always believed that keeping treasures in a warehouse is the stupidest thing to do. They should be used where they are most needed." Evelyn struggled and shouted.
"Go back and don't come here before I die!"
"I am the Duke's heir, and all these treasures belong to me."
"I'm sorry, you lost your inheritance rights! The first heir now is Count Lovey!"
That afternoon, envoys from the allied countries arrived riding on griffins.
