Chapter 751: Chapter 74: Festive Celebration Atmosphere and Massive Knights
But fortunately, everything went smoothly. He brought out a Desire Fire Rose from the Seductive Demon Realm. This rose is as vivid red as if dyed with fresh blood. When the spring breeze caresses its delicate, dripping heart, it resembles a seductive flame and beauty, enticing one to ravage and violate its tender petals with a blade.
This rose is a product of Chaos Corruption and is immune to the divine magic of the Dawn Church. It is planted in a discreet corner of the Jade Garden. Yet its influence is substantial enough to cover hundreds of square meters of Purple Crystal Grapes in the garden, ensuring that the wine brewed in the future will have a more lethal aphrodisiac effect.
This arrangement satisfied Su Li very much. He couldn’t possibly turn all the Purple Crystal Gold Brandy into such a deadly aphrodisiac; that would negatively affect the brandy’s reputation, limiting its sales and audience. After all, most people drink wine to enjoy it, but if subjected to the effects of a lethal aphrodisiac, their bodies would become violent, seeking only to vent, unable to enjoy life’s calm.
Yet, human desire has its fluctuations; during rituals or upon encountering unparalleled beauties, people crave a bottle of such deadly aphrodisiac-like brandy.
These hundred square meters of Purple Crystal Grapes are perfect for brewing a batch of specially crafted wine with more potent aphrodisiac effects. Its value will generally surpass normal Purple Crystal Gold Brandy, possibly reaching up to 200 Golden Crowns per bottle! As they say, a moment of spring is worth a thousand gold coins, and there are fervent noblewomen and wealthy knights and aristocrats willing to pay for it.
It’s safe to say that Demster’s trip to the Seductive Demon Realm has created a value of 3,000 to 5,000 Golden Crowns annually.
Thus, Su Li was very generous to him, directly rewarding him with a Rare Level battle armor, Twilight Armor. This was the Rare Level armor crafted by the dwarven Master of Forging, Belos Dragon Hammer, in the last cycle. Standard gilt-black plate armor, designed in Gothic style, adorned with the Double-tailed Comet pattern and Griffin Emblem, paired with Crow Feather, perfectly matching his Black Guard Knight style.
Su Li awarded this plate armor to Demster instead of keeping it for himself primarily because the dwarves have erupted!
You could say it was Su Li’s luck that erupted. The dwarven Imperial Engineering Master from Iron Peak Castle, Torrek Ironbrow, also crafted a Rare Level plate armor, Blood-cast Fine Gold Plate Armor.
This was pure luck, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat, triggering that extremely low probability!
He is a High Tier Champion Dwarf, originally a gift from the Imperial Engineering Master Francesca, but the value he created is already comparable to an Imperial Engineering Master.
After the celebration ends, Su Li plans to chat with him about his Legendary Level mission.
Meanwhile, Demster was so encouraged that he immediately entered a state of excitement, disregarding the exhaustion from being drained by the Desire Demon ladies, and voluntarily put an end to the massive turmoil in the square. The three-year agreement, Hesse Territory is his warmest, most adorable home~ No one can drive him away.
It took a Divine Chosen Level knight to quell the turmoil, a testament to its scale and intensity.
Su Li sheathed his training longsword and said to Hilude, "We can’t let the territory continue this chaotic; otherwise, it will leave a terrible impression on the knights and tarnish our territory’s reputation."
Su Li understood that some mishaps are inevitable; in most nations, even with grand celebrations, troubles persist, like venues unfinished, or thieves stealing attendees’ gear, even gathering the nation’s thieves around the event site.
If you’re relaxed enough, such things are just ripples, easily smoothed over. Once the celebration ends, not many will discuss whether the organizers did a good job.
Just like, if I lie flat enough, no one can defeat me.
But Su Li doesn’t want to muddle through; he hopes this celebration to be renowned throughout the Border Prince’s Territory, even the Empire.
This chaotic mess only brings ridicule, reducing the knights’ willingness to return.
Hilude took the longsword from Su Li, handing him a cup of warmed fruit tea, wiping the sweat from his face, his brave face tinged with seriousness, saying, "Lord, your recent fame has soared, bringing immense influence. The battles we won were glorious, nearing legendary, with church priests spreading your deeds, and minstrels recounting the story of Hesse’s Star of Light in taverns. This has led many knights, adventurers to hear of your fame. Upon hearing you hosting a grand competition festival, even if one percent of knights are intrigued and decide to visit the territory, given the vast number, this still results in an unparalleled scale."
"On the other hand, our territory’s specialties and generous rewards have immensely intensified the festival’s impact. Many merchants, adventurers, even knights have shown significant interest in our territory’s armor and Extraordinary Items. They ponder whether visiting alone is worthwhile, but the festival motivates their decision. Coming here, they partake in the event and procure a wealth of powerful equipment and items, hence the flocking of knights and merchants."
