Chapter 32 The Magic Lamp's Search
To put it bluntly, the future Rose Territory will also belong to Lin Wei, but managing the territory would interfere too much with his cultivation, so for now, it's better to let Duke Rose handle it himself.
"Lord Lin Wei, I have prepared the small castle. I will tell my father that it is my private property."
"Thanks for your hard work."
They were all old acquaintances. Drake led Celia and her group toward Rose City.
Lin Wei did not forget his promise to the female ghost and came to the banks of the Black Stone River.
"Kardashian, I have to go. How's the extraction of the Mantis Knight's bloodline going?" Lin Wei asked, looking towards the riverbank.
After a while, there was no response, and Kardashian did not appear.
"Strange, where's the female ghost?"
Just as Lin Wei was about to leave, a childish girl's voice came from below.
"I'm here, take me with you."
Looking at the little ghost at his feet, which looked no different from a child, Lin Wei's mind went blank for a moment.
Lin Wei stared wide-eyed and said, "How did you turn into a child? A child ghost?"
"I paid a heavy price to escape. If you take this black pebble, I can go with you."
Lin Wei did as instructed, picking up the unremarkable black pebble and holding it in his hand, producing a slight, rhythmic vibration.
Is that your heartbeat?
"Pretty much. A damned witch sealed me in this stone. Remember to feed me plenty of brains. I'll extract the bloodline you need."
The child-like Kardashian disappeared into the pebbles.
"A witch? You mean a wizard, right? These wizards' methods are truly amazing; it seems the knights couldn't do that."
Lin Wei's mind was still a little dazed. The female ghost by the river had turned into a child, living in the black pebbles, and was related to the legendary wizard.
These are all things that eight poles can't reach.
Aside from needing to eat her brains, Lin Wei also had some basic trust in her, so he simply took her with him. He would need her to extract his bloodline in the future.
Things progressed very smoothly, and half a month later Lin Wei and his confidants arrived in Rose City and began their business.
As for the Chengshi territory, it declared bankruptcy, the land returned to the kingdom, and became a part of history.
However, on the way there, Lin Wei discovered that many people who looked like refugees had also settled in Rose City, and for a time Rose City was even overcrowded.
"What's going on?"
Lin Wei asked Celia, who, as an excellent butler, always had firsthand information about the mainland.
"My lord, these people are from the west. It is said that the gates of hell have appeared in several kingdoms in the west, and fire demons have emerged from the gates of hell to begin to harm living beings."
The Kingdom of Atlantis, located in the eastern kingdom group, was merely an insignificant existence.
Lin Wei sighed, "This is truly a disaster. We haven't even dealt with the zombies yet, and now this 'Gates of Hell' has appeared. Just hearing the name makes it sound incredibly troublesome."
"There are also wars between kingdoms, struggles for faith between the divine agents and new gods like the Wandering God, and the wilderness is occupied by wandering knights, with chaos everywhere."
A sense of urgency surged through Lin Wei; he was still too weak.
"I've wasted a lot of time, I need to hurry up and start cultivating. If you encounter any problems selling rum, you can contact Drake, the son of the Duke of Roses, he's the local bigwig."
"No problem, my lord."
"Haha, I'm no longer a lord."
"In our hearts, you are a lord worthy of our homage."
Six months later, in early March, during the Green Festival, Lin Wei turned 21.
[Rose Breathing Technique experience points +6, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face, experience points +18]
[Rose Breathing Technique: Tier 3 → Tier 4 (13/10000), Effect: Low-level Manipulation]
[Basic Manipulation: You have a basic grasp of the ability to guide and control plants, and can subtly influence small plants.]
"I've finally broken through the Rose Breathing Technique. My level is even a level higher than that kid Drake's, and I also have an additional low-level manipulation effect."
Lin Wei pointed his fingers, which had transformed into rose thorns, at the cactus beside him and began to manipulate it. The cactus quickly expanded, and needles shot outwards.
"The feeling of manipulating this plant-based breathing technique is quite interesting."
"Besides the Rose Breathing Technique, I have also cultivated the Disguise Technique to the second level, which can change nearly half of my appearance. I estimate that once I cultivate it to the third level, I will be completely transformed."
"However, it seems my focus potion won't last for two years of cultivation; I still have a little over half left."
"I wonder if the Red Horse Knights have successfully broken through? And how are the Nightingale Knights doing?"
The four agreed to meet again in two years, and now a year and a half has passed, bringing them closer to their reunion.
Lin Wei plans to go out for a walk.
……
Swan Lands, Neuschwanstein Castle.
"flutter!"
With a whooshing sound, the Swan Prince appeared in the room, in a good mood: "This seclusion has been very fruitful."
"Congratulations on your successful completion of seclusion, Your Excellency. Prince Blood Frog is waiting for you in the hall for quite some time."
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler offered his congratulations repeatedly.
Prince Swan frowned: "I understand. What about the previous butler? It was the Mantis Knight."
"Reporting back to you, my lord, the Mantis Knight has not returned for a year, and I have no idea where he is."
Prince Swan had a bad feeling and asked, "The Mantis Knight is someone I trust deeply and is very careful in his actions. How could he have disappeared? Tell me quickly about the Lion Territory and the Grizzly Territory."
"Reporting back to you, my lord, the Chengshi Territory and the Grizzly Bear Territory have declared bankruptcy. Earl Victor of Chengshi has passed away, and these two territories are now a thing of the past."
"I understand. I'll go see Prince Blood Frog, that hypocritical fat man."
Prince Swan was in a bad mood.
In the extremely luxurious living room sat a middle-aged man who was as fat as a small mountain. From a distance, he looked like a sitting frog, with his most striking feature being his bulging, blood-red eyes.
There was blood flowing beneath the middle-aged man.
The Blood Frog chuckled, "Old swan, you don't mind accidentally crushing a few of your maids, do you?"
The Swan Prince said expressionlessly, "Enough with the nonsense."
"Old swan, you still have such a bad temper, which doesn't match your elegant appearance at all."
Prince Blood Frog paused for a moment and said, "By the way, I came here today to discuss with you the standards for the next round of military expenditure collection. All the earldoms in the kingdom have gone bankrupt, and the military expenditure is insufficient, so we can only make things difficult for the dukes."
"The king sent me to seek the opinions of the princes."
The Swan Prince replied, "I have no objection. Do whatever you want."
"Lend me your magic lamp, I want to find someone."
Prince Blood Frog didn't ask any further questions and said cheerfully, "No problem, the same old routine, five enhanced Focus Potions."
Prince Blood Frog took out a magic lamp that emitted a gray light and placed it on the table.
"My magic lamp is a legendary wizard's masterpiece. It can locate people by finding objects. If the owner dies, it can also be used to find the scene of the owner's last moments." Prince Blood Frog said with a smug look.
