335 Mary of the Dark Night
If Su Wan could recruit the Vampire Duke, then Su Wan’s combat power would increase rapidly. Her territory will be more stable.
Claude’s heart skipped a beat. The Vampire Duke might really be a hero unit.
He was envious. Had the Lord recruited the other troops in this way too?
If they could somehow recruit heroes, it might not be so difficult for Tristana to take over the Frostwolf family.
!!
Tristana was thinking the same thing.
“The souls of vampires above level 50 have completely integrated into their bodies. This evil being will have terrifying power. It’s extremely difficult to recruit or subdue them,” said Tristana. “Ordinary methods will now work. You’ll need the power of the gods.”
“How do I obtain the power of the gods?” asked Su Wan.
“From a Soul Contract with the Ice Goddess,” said Tristana. “With such a contract, you’ll be bestowed with enough power to subdue a vampire. Even someone at Level 100 will be no match for you.”
“Lady Tristana, do you know how I can initiate a Soul Contract? Does the Frostwolf family know of a way?” asked Su Wan.
“Lord Su Wan, a Soul Contract is extremely powerful and exorbitantly expensive. The Frostwolf clan has no such treasure,” said Claude. “I think nobody has something like that except the king. If you want a Soul Contract, you’d have to befriend the king.”
Su Wan thanked him for the information. She could gather more information regarding this since she had a lead now. Even if she couldn’t obtain a Soul Contract with the Ice Goddess, maybe she could obtain it from the Dark Goddess!
She had Xu Yuan with her, so she could work at it one at a time.
“Lord Su Wan, was the vampire captured from the Ice Empire?” Tristana asked curiously.
“Yes. I went to help a friend guard her territory and accidentally discovered the sleeping vampire,” said Su Wan. “This must be fate. Since you’re from the Ice Empire too, I wanted to ask you if there was a way.”
Su Wan wondered if Zhao Qingrong had managed to get more information regarding the vampire.
If the Beastmen could break through the Vampire Castle, the four sisters could reap lots of benefits.
Tristana turned to look at Su Wan. She took out something from her bag and handed it to Su Wan. It was a token with a giant wolf engraved on it.
“Lord Su Wan, this is the Frostwolf clan’s keepsake. It can be given to your friend. You are so far away from your friend that it must be difficult to take care of her from here. If she ever is in need of help and runs to the Frostwolf Territory with this token, she’ll be treated as a friend.”
Su Wan smiled and thanked her. Although this token wouldn’t be much help, it was equal to an S-class treasure for an ordinary Lord.
The token of the Frostwolf Territory was a special treasure that many coveted,
Su Wan was grateful anyway. Tristana was driven and ambitious, but she also knew how to treat people well.
After talking for a while, Tristana and Su Wan became good friends. Tristana liked Su Wan. She was very diplomatic and polite in how she carried herself.
A maid rushed to Su Wan and reported that Elder Andy of the Hell Demon Wolf Clan was seeking an audience.
Su Wan didn’t hesitate. She told the maid to show him in.
After the Hell Demon Wolf Clan took over the winemaking workshop, the winemaking business finally flourished. They had reported that Mary of the Dark Night, a special wine recipe, would be released in a few days.
Andy, who looked like an old cat, stepped into the room. A young female demon wolf followed behind him with a tray covered by a black cloth.
When they arrived at the long table, Andy bowed respectfully.
“Good evening, distinguished guests.” He turned and bowed to Tristana and Claude.
Tristana and Claude stood up to return the greeting.
Su Wan ignored these courtesies and looked at the tray in curiosity.
“Mary of the Dark Night is done?”
“Yes, My Lord.” Andy lifted the black cloth to reveal a bottle filled with dark liquid. The liquid glittered like stars.
“We’ve successfully brewed it! This is Mary of the Dark Night!”
Su Wan was delighted. It hadn’t been easy. After so many trials and errors, it was finally done! It had taken almost half a year, and now, the territory had its own top-notch wine!
“Pour it for all of us. Let our guests also have a taste of it. They’ve come here from very far away,” said Su Wan. “Also, bring a bucket for Xu Yuan.”
Xu Yuan was obsessed with wine. Su Wan put an effort into brewing wine in the territory, mostly for his sake.
Claude curiously looked at the wine. Tristana didn’t care much for it.
The Ice Empire was located so far away, and the weather there was cold and brutal all year around. Alcohol was coveted in every household. It helped people keep warm in the cold nights.
Good wine was hard to come by in the Ice Empire. They highly depended on hard liquor. However, as someone of significant status in the Frostwolf Territory, Claude occasionally enjoyed good wine.
With wine, it didn’t really matter how sparkly it looked if it didn’t taste good.
The Frostwolf Territory also had a winemaking department that had produced wine for a hundred years. However, the quality of wine had improved only in the past decade or so.
Although this territory was extraordinary, it lacked resources. So, Claude and Tristana didn’t put much faith in the wine that was displayed that night.
