Chapter 644 - 644 Getting the Wine Spring
644 Getting the Wine Spring
The next morning.
In the Country Lord palace of the Kingdom of Dawn.
After Li Xiang, Yang Mi, and the others got up and washed up, they sat at the dining table and had breakfast.
“Country Lord, Elder Ye has returned.”
A soldier reported from outside.
Li Xiang nodded and said, “Oh! Invite him in.”
A maidservant came over and quickly cleaned up the dishes. She took them away and brought some spirit fruits and spirit tea over.
“Country Lord, I’ve returned.” Ye Qiu quickly walked over. His expression carried a trace of confidence.
“How’s the situation?” Li Xiang asked.
“Things are exactly as Mr. Han predicted. After I went to the Earth tribe’s vicinity, I carefully investigated and found the Hidden Spring Valley and the location of the wine spring. With the help of the underground technique, I secretly stole the mouth of the wine spring from the underground. Soon after, the Taurens and the Werewolves arrived almost at the same time. Due to the misunderstanding between the two sides, an intense conflict broke out. The Taurens destroyed the valley and buried a large number of wolves and Werewolves. A blood feud had formed between them. The war between the two sides would last for a long time for sure. Mr. Han’s plan is more than half complete.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes were filled with admiration.
He admired these wise men with knowledge the most. This time, under Han Sui’s plan, the two foreign tribes had easily turned against each other and would not rest until one of them was dead. They had imperceptibly borrowed someone else’s knife to kill someone. They had made use of the Earth tribe, which was close to the Human race, to restrain the Blood Claw tribe, which had a blood feud with the Human race.
Although the method was not very glorious, it was very practical.
However, when it came to the survival of the race, there was no morality to speak of. Plotting against an ally was nothing. It wasn’t that allies weren’t important, but any alliance was based on equal strength. Whoever was stronger would be the leader, and whoever was weaker would naturally have to compromise.
There had always been a conflict between the Taurens and Werewolves, and they were just trying to stimulate this conflict. They were using the power of others to fight against someone, bringing forward the conflict that would have taken a long time to erupt.
Besides, the Kingdom of Dawn also provided support by opening up the frontier trade and gifting resources. All of these could indirectly increase the Tauren race’s combat strength and affect the direction of the entire war, or even determine the final victory.
With the support of the Kingdom of Dawn’s resources, it would be a joke if the Earth tribe couldn’t suppress the Blood Claw tribe.
Based on victory, the Earth tribe would also obtain enormous benefits.
It could be said that this was a win-win situation.
Now that the opportunity had been achieved, Han Sui’s next goal was to completely pull the Earth tribe to his side and become allies.
“The methods of the political strategist are indeed powerful. He could stir up a conflict between two large tribes and start a war in a short time. If nothing unexpected happened, the Earth tribe could become an ally of the Human race. This is killing two birds with one stone. When he returns, I must celebrate for him.” Li Xiang praised in his heart.
Han Sui was bold but careful, as well as quick-witted.
He was able to find an opportunity in the shortest time and quickly complete the matter of sowing discord. It was hard not to be impressed by this. This seemed simple, but others might not be able to do it.
The ability to adapt to changes was very important.
“Yes, I believe that Mr. Han will complete the mission perfectly.”
Ye Qiu nodded in complete agreement, having great confidence in Han Sui.
“Did you get the spring mouth?” Li Xiang asked.
“Of course, it’s here.”
Ye Qiu immediately took out a large basin made of crystal from his storage bag. In the basin was a transparent spring mouth.
The spring mouth glowed with a faint golden light. It naturally absorbed the heaven and earth vitality, and spring water came out of it.
This process wasn’t fast. It seemed a little slow instead. However, it was endless.
The spring mouth couldn’t leave the earth for too long, or it would be damaged. The basin was made of crystal. The heaven and earth vitality in the crystal could ensure that the spring mouth would not be damaged unless the heaven and earth vitality in it was exhausted.
“What a strong wine aroma! This is the mouth of the wine spring. It was a rare treasure. It’s truly a peerless unique item.”
The basin was placed on the table. If one looked carefully, one could see that the spring water flowing out had an amber-like crystal color.
Neither the Werewolves nor the Tauren would know that the missing spring mouth had fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Dawn. If they knew, even the Taurens would have turned against the kingdom.
“This spring must not be exposed. We can’t let the Taurens have any doubts. The more secretive it is, the better.” Yang Mi suggested as she looked at the spring.
Some things could be done, but not told.
“Yup, the wine spring can’t be exposed. For the time being, we’ll find a place in the Country Lord’s palace to place it and keep it a secret. With the wine spring, all the wine in our kingdom can be transformed into spiritual wine, and we can make more spiritual wine varieties,” said Li Xiang with a smile.
There was no place safer than the Country Lord’s palace. The other foreign races couldn’t know of the existence of the wine spring here. Even when it came to winemaking, it could be treated as some kind of unique treasure. It was best not to expose it if possible.
In particular, the value of the wine spring was so great that it could create endless wealth for the Kingdom of Dawn and bring them endless benefits.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the Demon Suppression Hall to cultivate. Even Fu Mingxue has broken through. If I don’t work hard, I’ll be left behind then. I can’t let them leave me behind!”
Ye Qiu’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Fu Mingxue’s breakthrough made him feel great pressure.
“This mission will reward you with a sum of merit points. If you want anything, just go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange!” said Li Xiang.
The powerhouses in the Demon Suppression Hall could get a sum of merit points for each mission, just like a bounty hunter. However, these missions were very difficult, dangerous, and secretive.
“Hehe! Then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately became excited.
Ye Qiu left.
However, just as he was leaving the Country Lord’s residence, the eyes of an old man near the square suddenly lit up. His nose kept twitching as if he could smell a unique scent in the air.
“It’s wine. It’s a wine fragrance. What a strange wine fragrance! There’s no trace of the heat after winemaking, but a kind of natural mellow fragrance. Unbelievable! This is simply unbelievable! I’ve never smelled such a wine fragrance before. Only the monkey wine I’ve tasted before can be compared to it. What kind of wine is this?”
The old man looked at Ye Qiu’s back. He subconsciously muttered to himself.
He was certain that this was the first time he had smelled this wine fragrance. He had never encountered it before. The divine wine was neither hot nor cold, but it was unique and amazing.
“No, no. This isn’t wine. No, this is wine, but it doesn’t seem to be wine. This is a treasure of another type of wine. If we can use it in winemaking, we will be unparalleled!” The old man’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a trace of yearning grew in his heart.
