Chapter 147: The Matter of Cui Er

  After the war, statistics showed that the barbarian heavy infantry regiment was completely annihilated, with all personnel and animals lost! The wolf cavalry of Princess Wana VII suffered more than 500 casualties, but the losses of the demon wolves were less than 400. This made me worry about their strength again!

  As we walked out of the great arena, I saw from afar Princess Jessica Carson! Our sharp eyes seemed to spark a radiant glow in mid-air! She smiled at me with pride! I understood that she was challenging me! Because in just a few days, my Iron Dragon Cavalry would be battling against the barbaric heavy infantry of the Kampa Empire! I must do better than her or else I'd be ridiculed by her!

  And the final battle will be my ultimate showdown with Seventh Princess! I'm confident that I can defeat her since I've grasped the secret of her command. The difficulty lies in whether I can continue to maintain zero casualties, which has been my goal all along.

  Back at the hotel, a few casual words got rid of the excited king's entanglement! Rushed upstairs to find Keli and ask about the situation!

  "How is it? Can't you imitate?" The poor Taoist asked anxiously!

  "Of course! This is a rare alchemy technique, but it's not impossible for me!" Kuri said with a proud smile.

  "How much time can it be refined? Is there anything else needed?" The poor Taoist asked hastily!

  "You don't have to worry, I just need to go out and find a random magic shop, borrow their tools and you'll get it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!" Kuri laughed: "Although the appearance will definitely not be the same, but I guarantee that in terms of sound, it can absolutely pass as the real thing!"

  "Great! I'll go right away! I still need time to get familiar with the melody!" The poor Taoist urged.

  "But!" Keli said with difficulty!

  "What?" I asked in surprise: "Isn't everything all right?"

  "I don't have money?" Ke Li said with embarrassment!

  "Haha!" The poor Dao hurriedly said: "It's my negligence! I'll give you 3000W!"

  "Ah!" Keli hastily said: "Just a few gold coins will do!"

  "Listen to me!" The poor Taoist explained: "From now on, you will be my chief alchemist! This money is for you to buy tools and materials! Don't try to save it for me! Pick the best ones to buy, if there's not enough money, come find me for more. If the situation is really urgent, just rob it from me! In short, whatever good things you see must be brought back to me!"

  "Yes!" Kri exclaimed: "I've been wanting to build another lab for a long time! Don't worry, sir, with my skills, there's no one on the entire continent who can surpass me! I'll definitely make the best thing for you, sir!"

  "Ah! If you're willing, I can provide you with some extraordinary items from another world that you've never seen before! Let you study and use them!" The poor Taoist tempted him.

  "Really? That's too great! I absolutely agree!" exclaimed Keli excitedly.

  "Alright, you go ahead and make this whistle first!" The poor Taoist smiled and said: "After making it well, I'll give you something!"

  "Yes, sir!" Keli flew away like a bird!

  I looked at his retreating back with a thrill of excitement, having such a talented person in hand would make things much more convenient in the future! However, soon I found myself entangled in the troubles brought by this infatuated genius! He actually came to find me in the middle of the night! At that time, I was dreaming of appreciating opera with Athena... just as Athena's fiery lips were about to... uh... when that damned Crito interrupted us!!!

  After being annoyed, I suddenly started sympathizing with that poor king again! According to the feedback from my spies in the palace, it seems that the king has been getting out of bed in the middle of the night several times because of me! Ah! Now, he and I can be said to be 'fellow sufferers'!

  "Sir! Look, I've prepared everything you wanted. Are you going to give me what you promised me too?" Kri asked excitedly!

  However, he immediately shut his mouth when he saw what I was holding in my hand and the iron-like expression on my face! He finally realized what he had done. Hurriedly, with a embarrassed tone, he said: "Sorry, sir, I got too excited!"

  I endured! Withdraw the 'Roar of the Angry Dragon', and forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying, gesturing towards the door: "Next time, please knock on the door first, okay?"

  After my reconstruction of his body, this monk who was originally known for being physically weak suddenly had the strength comparable to that of a magical beast! In his haste and without noticing the force he used, he directly broke the door bolt! The huge noise made me alert and I thought there were assassins, so I prepared 'Roar of the Furious Dragon' to give the attacker a surprise!

  He turned his head and looked at the door he had pushed open, even more embarrassed, saying: "Yes, I'll be careful next time!"

  "Take it!" The poor Taoist knew he was this kind of research madman, and naturally wouldn't blame him. He took out a 'Fire Spirit Pill' from his ring and said: "If you can replicate this medicine, we'll make a fortune!"

  "What is this? Such pure fire-type energy!" Krie exclaimed!

  "This is a medicine for fire-type magical beasts, which can greatly increase their abilities. Even if the fire-type dragon eats it, it can increase its cultivation by about 200 years! You take it and study it slowly!" The poor Taoist gave the order to expel the guest!

  "It's so cool!" Keli's eyes lit up, and he hastily bid farewell and left!

  "You damned thing!" The poor Taoist poured all his fire on this gatekeeper, cursing: "If you let people rush in like that! I'll starve you for three years!"

  "Waaah! Waaah!" Gex's protest was directly filtered out by me!

  Going to bed, getting ready for our next date with Athena!

  ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

  The next day, I got up with dark circles under my eyes! After gathering in the hall with everyone and finishing breakfast, just as I was about to go back to sleep, the person I had been expecting arrived!

  "Master! A lady named Sasha is looking for you!" The servant reported!

  "Come on!" I immediately felt invigorated!

  "I still have something to do, I'll leave first!" Father flew away like a bird!

  Cut! What's the point of not saying anything and running to the inner room? It's clearly a guilty conscience! I was about to express my disdain when I saw someone coming in. Hurriedly, I went up to greet her, smiling: "Sasha Auntie! Good morning!"

  "I'm not well!" Sasha's aunt said coldly: "Early in the morning, I was rushed here by that scoundrel from the Sevyn family. How can I be well?"

  "What a scoundrel! How can they treat Aunt Sasha like this?" The poor Taoist's heart was secretly delighted, but his face put on an indignant expression and he angrily said: "Tell them that it's because of their disrespect towards you that I'm angry, I've decided not to trade with them! Consider it a favor to you!"

  "You little scamp!" Aunt Sasha said with a laugh, "Are you trying to get me riled up or cause trouble for me? I'm not like you, daring to look down on others! If the Sevyn family just wiggles their finger, I'll be in big trouble!"

  "Haha! Sasha Auntie has been filtered out, as far as I know, with my grandmother backing you up, you haven't offended them much, have you?" I heard this little gossip from Elena when we were shopping together!

  "I didn't expect your news to be so well-informed!" Sasha Auntie smiled and said, "Alright, stop chit-chatting, hurry up and look at the things! I still have something to attend to!"

  "How strange! My father also said he had something to attend to?" The poor Taoist teased.

  "Little rascal!" Sasha's aunt said with a blush: "I'm doing serious business, and it has nothing to do with him!"

  "Oh~~~!" I pretended to understand and responded with a "oh"! In my heart, I thought, isn't this just getting darker by the month?

  "For Pete's sake! What are you explaining to me?" Sasha Aunt woke up and said angrily: "If you don't behave, I'll leave!"

  "Wait!" The poor Taoist hastily invited the guest: "Please come this way!"

  I had Sasha Auntie move to my room upstairs and told Gaito to keep watch! Because when I came up, I found that the king and Ishihara Kuma's expressions were not quite right! They must have harbored suspicions, and I was afraid they would come up to eavesdrop, so I added an extra layer of vigilance!

  To ensure the quality of the goods, I especially brought Cri here! After he cast 'Soundproof Barrier', I formally said to Sasha Auntie: "Now you can take out the things!"

  "Are you scared? Do you have to be so careful?" Aunt Sasha said, but she still took out three boxes!
