236: Chapter 38 – Coach who ca to the doorstep_1 236: Chapter 38 – Coach who ca to the doorstep_1 Actually, Lord Liu had his own troubles to vent.
He had initially vowed to fight thieves with thieves.
However, it turned out these robbers were quite poor.
Even after raiding two large robber tribes, the only gain was a small increase in population, with no other spoils.
Clearing out smaller tribes wouldn’t an much except for getting his warriors’ blades a bit bloody and stretching their muscles.
But how could Lord Liu confide such things to others, beyond his three closest girls, without tarnishing the dignity of a lord?
The slaves of the wilderness are arguably the least expensive slaves on the Aegean Continent.
The most valuable ones are beautiful young girls and skilled craftsn, while the least valuable are nial laborers without any particular skill.
The robbers of the wilderness are tall and sturdy, making them ideal for hard labor.
But without any mines in the wilderness, these captured slaves have no value beyond consuming food.
Since the temple’s requirent of a thousand subjects within the fiefdom has been t, Liu Zhenhan changed his anti-robbery strategy.
He gathered a mixed force of militia and slaves to clear out all the small robber tribes within a hundred miles, creating a clean territory around him.
As for the remaining large robber tribes, the Razor Mountain Goblin Tribe and the White Crow Wildman Tribe, he decided to deal with them later.
It was impractical to wipe out large tribes entirely.
Besides, Liu had other uses for them.
The current urgent matter for Liu Zhenhan was to make money to buy food and clothing for the winter, which were his biggest concerns at the mont.
He believed that the lons he brought back from the island would make a fortune.
However, they wouldn’t relieve his imdiate needs since they could only be planted next year due to the current unsuitable climate.
He was growing anxious as no human group, as ntioned by the snake tutor, had shown up at the ferry even after a few days since it was built.
Being an overlord was proving to be quite troubleso.
He couldn’t help feeling disheartened.
The War Song training that Cui Beixi provided to Liu Zhenhan and Helen was quite exhausting for Liu.
Although Cui Beixi appears gentle on the outside, she beca a total different person when teaching the War Song, which turned out to be extrely strict.
A born Soul Singer is indeed a born Soul Singer.
Liu Zhenhan’s excellent natural singing ability allowed him to quickly grasp the difficult syllables in the high-rank war song, which made Cui Beixi delighted but also considerably annoyed.
Because whenever Liu Zhenhan tried to sing the War Song, his singing power surprisingly weakened, failing to result in a complete War Song, which left Cui Beixi truly perplexed.
Such a problematic apprentice was sothing no tutor would wish for.
An intelligent child who understands everything you teach but performs poorly in the examination.
In Cui Beixi’s eyes, this must be because Liu Zhenhan made a mistake in comprehension and utilization.
So, Cui Beixi decisively gave up on tutoring him to learn further.
She thought that Liu Zhenhan was indeed a disgrace to the white robe of the War Shaman.
Compared to Liu Zhenhan’s unsatisfactory performance, Helen’s progress was alarming.
Ever since Helen naturally evolved the “Beamon War Dance”, she spent her days ditating to accumulate singing power.
With Cui Beixi’s guidance, she made swift progress, mastering a new War Song almost every day.
Within two days, she had learned the “Ronan’s Aria” and the “Mountain Murmur Song”.
“Ronan’s Aria” is a War Song used for identifying unknown creatures, and “Mountain Murmur Song” is another na for the Stone Skin War Song.
These two War Songs are extrely practical, and they don’t consu much singing power either.
All Liu Zhenhan could do was watch with envy as Helen excitedly used the identification song on ants on the ground and geese in the sky, and frequently transford Gude and Bellamy into stone-skinned beings, laughing gleefully all the while.
At first, Tutor Cui Beixi was puzzled.
Based on Helen’s singing ability, although she was among the best in the newly promoted War Shamans, she shouldn’t have been able to effortlessly use “Ronan’s Aria” and “Mountain Murmur Song” one after the other, right?
Helen is an honest girl, who told her tutor everything.
After Cui Beixi carefully examined the bracelet on Helen’s wrist, even the worldly-wise Cui Beixi couldn’t help but be envious for quite a while.
During the expedition to the Southern Cross Star Forest, Liu Zhenhan had only reported to the temple the Magic Crystals of a Wind System Magic Wolf and a Star-tailed Turtle.
Although Cui Beixi knew that Liu had managed to get a Hell Black Dragon’s Magic Crystal from sowhere, she didn’t expect the bracelet on Helen’s hand to have so many high-grade Magic Crystals.
The bracelet made by Ning Yu with animal tendons for Helen featured an earthy yellow Gryphon Magic Crystal and a blood-red Giant Blood-sucking Bat Magic Crystal, both exquisitely complenting each other.
Two high-grade Magic Crystals made Cui Beixi quite jealous.
Taking into account the Star-tailed turtle and Bipedal Flying Dragon’s Top-grade Magic Crystals infused with extensive reserved singing power on the war drums carried by the Giant Beast, these Magic Crystals could even enhance Helen’s power to a terrifying height.
A war song at the War Shaman level was sowhat unsuitable for Helen.
With such a number of high-grade Magic Crystals and the dual overlapping effects of the War Dance, Helen at least had the power to contend with four well-equipped War Shamans of the sa rank.
