291 Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce
The two of them were assigned the responsibility of developing and maintaining the food workshop and winery.
If they needed any materials, they could directly contact Su Wan.
They were urged to develop delicacies and fine wine as soon as possible.
The two young men looked at Su Wan and Xu Yuan. They were moved to tears. They wouldn’t hesitate to even die for their Lord and their hero. They had given them everything!
“We won’t let you down!” they both said with conviction and bowed.
Xu Yuan nodded. He encouraged them for a while longer and then let them leave.
Su Wan was astonished. She had to admit that Xu Yuan was very convincing. She wasn’t at his level yet in terms of persuading people in that manner.
As soon as they left the room, they saw Eliza hovering near the door.
The two young men bowed to her when they saw her and went their way.
Eliza was surprised. As she watched the receding backs of the two people walking away, she noticed that something had changed. These natives had become heroes!
How could a person become a hero in just a few minutes?
Eliza, being a hero herself, knew the hardship that came with her race. Heroes had to train from a very young age. They had to go through deadly situations to prove themselves as heroes. She was in disbelief. Not only had those two become heroes in such a short time, but their bloodline and level were also strong!
Eliza turned back to look at the room from where they had appeared. She thought that the recent developments in the territory had been very efficient and immediate. She felt admiration toward the Dark Demon Dragon. He was indeed powerful and mysterious.
Eliza accompanied the one in charge of the Chamber of Commerce into the Dark Castle. A female Night Elf was moving the wooden boxes to the warehouse.
Eliza saw the gunpowder and the ores that glowed faintly. This kind of growth was simply unheard of. If this went on, their territory would be formidable.
The one in charge of the Chamber of Commerce also believed this to be true. He composed himself, entered the room, and bowed to Xu Yuan and Su Wan.
“Lord Su Wan, I didn’t expect the troops to be so smart. Congratulations on your harvest this time.”
Su Wan smiled and exchanged polite greetings. She then turned to Eliza. “Eliza, does the Chamber of Commerce sell some high-quality wine recipes?”
Xu Yuan had no interest in price negotiations, so he left it to Su Wan.
“Ahh… fine wine has always remained rare and pricey,” said Eliza. “No one seems to have a decent recipe for winemaking. Those who do charge exorbitant prices! The ones found in the market right now are of inferior quality.”
Su Wan’s wish of buying a nice wine recipe disappeared. She was never going to find a decent recipe at a reasonable price.
She had looked for a recipe in the market. However, the ones she found were bad ones that weren’t really suitable for trade. There were only dark plants in her territory. Su Wan didn’t know how she could use them for wine yet.
Her territory was too dark and barre to grow any kind of decent crops. Therefore, production value was sorely limited.
That’s why Su Wan was so keen on summoning more heroes, especially for research and development. Only with traits like that could she hope to develop areas of her territory.
Eliza looked at Su Wan. She hesitated as Su Wan was deep in thought. “My Lord, I saw two residents who converted to heroes.”
“Ahh… yes. I obtained a magic item in the mythical ruins that make it possible.” Su Wan was wary of Eliza. “It can turn an ordinary creature into a B-class hero. I can only use it one more time.”
Eliza was both regretful and envious of Su Wan. If there was such an item, then it must be something of very high value.
“My lord, thank you for developing the territory so efficiently,” said Eliza. “I will return tomorrow morning. The Guild Leader is still waiting for me to take the Hundred Night Flower Honey to him.”
Eliza was assigned to manage the trade responsibilities of the territory. She was a succubus and displayed very efficient negotiation techniques.
The Hundred Night Flower Honey and Dragon Drool Grass were the rarest and greatest treasures of Su Wan’s territory. Su Wan wanted to trade them in exchange for money and resources so that she could upgrade her territory as soon as possible.
“I will be leaving for the Qing You Chamber of Commerce soon,” said Su Wan. “How should I contact you once I reach there?”
“Here,” said Eliza as she handed her a wooden tablet. “You can use this to contact me. I will be able to listen to you no matter where you are.”
Su Wan nodded and placed the wooden tablet away in space.
“When you go to a large city, it’s best to not take the Dark Demon Dragon with you,” said Eliza tentatively.
“Why not?” Su Wan was puzzled.
“The Dark Demon Dragon is a creature of legends who is associated with death. He is believed to have caused a disaster in the war of the gods.”
When Xu Yuan heard that, he raised his head and looked at Eliza. His face looked strange. If anyone dared attack him, he could destroy them.
Xu Yuan was interested in the information. Even the Seraphim had fled from him. He was still curious why that had happened.
Eliza looked like she had something more to say.
“What is it?” asked Su Wan.
“Can I please have a few boxes of Alchemy Gunpowder?” asked Eliza cautiously.
Su Wan laughed. “Of course!” She let Eliza have two boxes of the stuff.
Only when the meeting was adjourned, and they had left, did Su Wan let herself relax. She hadn’t realized that she was still tightly strung from the recent incident in Shi Linglong’s territory. She suddenly felt exhausted.
She called for the maids and instructed them to prepare a lavish lunch. After that, she returned to her room with Xu Yuan, hugged him, and lay down on her bed.
She fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already dark. She didn’t know how long she had slept. She couldn’t get rid of the feeling that something terrible was going to happen.
