Boiling Beast Bloodline

Chapter 1959 - 629: Temple Knights_4

"Please rest assured, My Lord, I have already instructed the Buer Tribe citizens of Florence to expedite the production of the Pearl Seven-string Zither. Once completed, I will distribute them immediately. Please give me a little more time." During peacetime, the expensive Pearl Seven-string Zither would certainly not be provided to priests from other factions, but now, as the structure is about to collapse, even Liu Zhenhan has to be generous despite his petty nature.

Upon hearing this solid gold and silver promise, Lord Brut’s old face smiled into a daisy.

Old Liu also smiled, but his smile carried a hint of sarcasm.

Although nominally a competitor, he truly couldn’t take the temple seriously.

The current priestly power of the Summer Palace certainly cannot compare to an old power like the temple, but Florence has obtained from the Demon World the "Yanluo Crystal Tower" specifically for testing mental power hertz. With nearly a billion Cave Dwellers in the Underground World, the research power of the War Song Laboratory ensures that within ten years, regardless of priests or mages, in terms of quality or quantity, Florence will not be surpassed by the temple or even the kingdom.

"I’ve occasionally heard some rumors, saying that now if someone gives you a natural magic artifact, you can return it tenfold?" The Red-robed Archbishop whispered mysteriously and pulled Old Liu aside.

"Uh... this..." Old Liu knew what Lord Brut was referring to, a message he had An Dulan’s father spread across the entire continent and posted in major guilds. However, the Yuxi was now broken and couldn’t count.

"Look at this..." Lord Brut shakily took out a piece of red cloth from his arms, unwrapped layer after layer of strict wrapping, revealing two clear and transparent tower-shaped diamond crystals. As the two crystal gems rubbed against each other, they faintly emitted an ethereal melodious sound.

Old Liu’s eyes froze on the spot; these were the extremely precious "Singing Crystals"!

In the past, some of the Tauren priests of the Bimon Kingdom had super greats who were magic pets of the Komodo War Behemoth.

The Komodo War Behemoth was almost omnivorous; among them, a very few fortunate ones would swallow the "Singing Crystals" embedded in stones while eating stones to fill their bellies, thereby gaining the ability to communicate with the spirits of clouds and lightning.

In a certain sense, if these "Singing Crystals" were obtained by the Tang Zang Empire, then their top immortal master "Beard Welcoming Guests" would no longer need to worry about the Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation during calamities—natural lightning from the clouds would never attack the host of the "Singing Crystal."

Needless to say, the Red-robed Archbishop excavated the double-type Komodo War Behemoth’s corpse while uncovering the Medusa Badge of ancient meritorious priests, and the "Singing Crystal," like the Magic Crystal, does not decay over time.

"My Lord, just give me some time, and I guarantee one exchange for ten." Without hesitation, Old Liu swallowed his previous words and snatched the two "Singing Crystals" from the Red-robed Archbishop’s hand, as if he wouldn’t cheat if he could, feeling no guilt anyway.

The Red-robed Archbishop nodded in satisfaction, not realizing at all that Old Liu was deceiving him. It couldn’t be helped; this Shaman of Divine Songs had a very solid reputation. Currently, on the Aegean Continent, no one has had the misfortune of being cheated in business with him except for Ferguson Xu; Lord Brut was lucky enough to be the second fool to fall into the bottomless pit.

Having easily swindled two "Singing Crystals," Liu Zhenhan was in a great mood. Naturally, he couldn’t be stingy with his praise anymore, lavishing praise on the Temple Knights organized by Lord Brut to the point of exaggeration, causing General Reyes, the military commander of Witherspoon City, who came specifically to meet the two religious leaders, to get goosebumps all over.

General Reyes was Old Liu’s old partner from the Desert Battle, having a deep relationship with each other. He was also well acquainted with the capabilities of the Summer Palace guards. Hearing Old Liu’s extravagant praise for the Temple Knights, this Fawkes General even felt embarrassed for Lord Brut.

"General Reyes, the Sea Clan is advancing swiftly. Please first explain the current state of the war to His Majesty and me, and then assign each of us our respective duties." As soon as General Reyes had arranged to sit the religious leaders of the two great factions at the governor’s residence, and before the maid could serve coffee, Lord Brut eagerly inquired about the war situation.

Old Liu smirked at the side, thinking this old man had clearly never been on the battlefield. Did he really believe five thousand Temple Knights could serve as the main force in a large-scale army battle?

"Governor Mateus is currently discussing the allocation of forces to aid the war with Governor Gary Neville of the Southern Province. Please allow me to apologize on behalf of the Governor." General Reyes nodded and retrieved a map, unfurling it with a "whoosh" in front of the religious leaders: "Lord Brut, His Majesty Richard, Lady Helen, and all distinguished gentlemen, currently the entire adult male population in the northeast has been fully armed, numbering approximately between 250,000 to 300,000. All city defense equipment has stockpiled large quantities of supplies, including oil wax, javelins, arrows, and wooden beams. The surplus grain in the city and the slaughtered livestock stored in the Florence snow cave should last us about six months!"

"There’s no need to worry too much about supplies, with the magic teleportation array and Seven-degree Gold Rings, we have ample support! The Laboratory responsible for monitoring the ’Saruman Wizard’s Eye’ has informed me that the enemy’s vanguard army is advancing quickly, estimated to reach Witherspoon in a day." Liu Zhenhan continued: "I just made a special inspection of Witherspoon’s outskirts before coming here, and your scorched earth strategy has been adequately implemented. Now it’s just a problem of defensive troop strength, right?"
