Chapter 934: Nourishnt Pond I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Pretty lady, do a good deed...”
From the main street, a faint voice sounded. rlin opened his eyes and saw a few youths dressed in tattered clothes begging on the streets. This scene made rlin feel very puzzled.
The Holy Dragon Empire was very sparsely populated. In the territories, even the lowliest person could still do so odd jobs to survive. At worst, they could work as servants of the aristocrats. In general, most aristocrats were not overly harsh on their servants.
Therefore, it was impossible for anyone to starve, especially in the bustling Holy Dragon City. However, people begging on the streets.
“Who are they?”
rlin asked with bewildernt.
“Master, they’re refugees! The Holy Dragon Empire is riddled with chaos and conflict inside and out. We’re not the only ones who are stranded. Even worse-off are these civilians. As refugees, they don’t have anything left to their nas, so they have no choice but to beg.”
Commander Hanson’s tone was unperturbed. His facial expression remained indifferent as though it was a common scene.
rlin’s heart sunk. Yes, these people were refugees. The turmoil in the Holy Dragon Empire did not only affect the aristocrats but also the civilians. They were the largest group of victims. Many people beca refugees.
The streets of Holy Dragon City were now filled with holess refugees. This indirectly showed how severe the turmoil in the Holy Dragon Empire was.
rlin sensed a grave danger as if Holy Dragon City was also unsafe. The origin of this prickling danger ca from every direction. The intuition of soone like rlin who could challenge a Latitude Cosmos certainly would not be mistaken.
“Abilities, I need to improve my abilities. The Nourishnt Pond is essential!”
rlin secretly made up his mind. Once Count Stanwin had settled down, rlin must imdiately begin to purchase the raw materials for the Nourishnt Pond formula to enhance his abilities.
At dusk, Count Stanwin finally returned with good news. Through so acquaintances in Holy Dragon City, he had managed to buy an abandoned manor on the west side of the city.
Therefore, everyone continued their journey toward the abandoned manor.
After about an hour, the large convoy arrived at the manor on the west side of the city. This was an extrely vast but desolate manor. It used to belong to a Count but the Count’s family had lost their riches, and moved out of the manor, which was subsequently purchased by a businessman.
Count Stanwin had spent a large fortune to purchase this manor. Despite its desolate condition, it was not easy to obtain a manor considering the current situation of Holy Dragon City. The only downside was that it was quite far from the city.
“Very well, everyone inside. Although it’s a little worn out, we’ll be able to restore it in no ti.”
Under Count Stanwin’s orders, the three hundred heavy knights moved to inspect the manor both inside and outside. Then only did the family mbers enter to clean the house.
It was not until late at night that they had managed to roughly clean up a few rooms. Although the rooms were relatively worn out, rlin could see that everyone was relieved and satisfied with them.
After living in fear and uncertainty over the past couple of months, that experience had finally co to an end. Now that they had a new manor, things would be stable for a while.
rlin was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he sought out Count Stanwin alone.
“Father, I have a request.”
rlin said calmly.
“Oh? Leon, what’s the matter?”
Count Stanwin was a bit surprised because Leon had never been so polite to him before.
“Father, I would like to start brewing the Nourishnt Pond. However, the materials needed to brew the Nourishnt Pond are all extrely precious. So, I’m afraid they will require a large amount of money.”
rlin’s main purpose was to request so money from Count Stanwin. Based on rlin’s resourcefulness, he could probably accumulate so gold coins slowly but it could not be done in a short period.
Knowing that Count Stanwin was such a wealthy Count, rlin certainly would not trouble himself unnecessarily.
Count Stanwin smiled. “The Nourishnt Pond for Hosts is indeed costly. How about this, I’ll give you a thousand gold coins first. If that’s not enough, you can ask from again.”
“A thousand gold coins? That should be enough!”
rlin nodded. These were gold coins. One gold coin was equivalent to a hundred silver coins. This entire manor probably did not cost as much as a thousand gold coins.
As the master of Boulder City, Count Stanwin had indeed accumulated imnse wealth over the years.
After receiving a thousand gold coins, rlin also retired to his room. He then rembered the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will in his Awareness.
After the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will was suppressed by rlin’s Illusory World, it had been very well-behaved. Faced against rlin’s natural order which was previously capable of defying a Latitude Cosmos, it was inconsequential whether the Two-headed Pterolycus was a thousand or ten thousand tis more powerful.
Perhaps due to its instinctive fear, until now, the Two-headed Pterolycus’ ferocious will had been very quiet. It did not cause any trouble for rlin. Everything was calm.
However, rlin did not relax his vigilance. If he had detected any anomaly, he would imdiately use the natural order of the Illusory World to suppress it. Unfortunately, rlin’s Illusory World had not recovered. Otherwise, he would simply control the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will. Then, it would not be so troubleso for him to stay vigilant all the ti.
“Tomorrow, I’ll look around Holy Dragon City to see if I can gather all the raw materials for the Nourishnt Pond.”
rlin made up his mind.
...
Early the next day, rlin left the manor. He was accompanied by two heavy knights. They were the bodyguards Count Stanwin had specifically arranged for rlin to keep him safe.
These two knights were not at all simple. Both possessed the almighty beast bloodline. Although they only had the lowest-tier almighty beast bloodline, they had achieved the second-form, which was quite impressive. They were Count Stanwin’s very dependable assistants.
The fact that Count Stanwin sent his dependable assistants to protect rlin spoke volus of his concern for him. In a foreign place such as this, Count Stanwin was of course, very cautious.
Although rlin felt that their presence was an inconvenience, he did not refuse. After all, the current situation was truly chaotic. Even Holy Dragon City was not safe. With these two extraordinary-looking bodyguards, there should be less trouble for him.
rlin inquired about the few biggest shops in Holy Dragon City, and ca to the nearest shop. It looked like it did not have many custors.
Upon seeing rlin, the shopkeeper’s eyes brightened and hurriedly welcod him inside.
“What will sir be needing today?”
rlin did not waste any words. He took out a list containing so materials.
Of course, this was not the entire Nourishnt Pond formula but only a small portion. rlin would not show the formula to anyone easily.
“Do you have everything on the list?”
rlin asked in a deep voice. The Nourishnt Pond formula was extrely important as it would determine whether he could enhance his abilities further. Just by having the formula but unable to brew the Nourishnt Pond was completely useless.
“This...”
The shopkeeper looked at rlin with so hesitation in his eyes.
