Chapter 127: Centaur Envoys

The five thousand acres of potatoes had a good harvest, with each acre yielding an average of two hundred and fifty kilograms. After counting, this harvest gave a total of one thousand two hundred and fifty tons of potatoes.

These potatoes were enough for their food for the whole next year. Besides these, Northguard Keep also stored a lot of dried meat and dried salted fish. Even the kept Zebra Antelopes were growing well. It could be said that Northguard Keep could now support itself with food.

The Harvest Festival ended smoothly. Now the weather in Northguard Keep was slowly getting colder. Clearly, winter had come to Northguard Keep. To prepare for winter, the basic building in the territory slowed down during this time. More slaves and Refugees were sent to cut trees and make charcoal, along with other winter supplies.

Su Lun was in Heatherway’s Laboratory, watching her test several potion bottles. To be honest, these potions had been put in his Storage Space since they got them from the last Relic, and he had forgotten about them… He found them when handling the Frost Wyvern meat, so he brought them for Heatherway to identify what kind they were and if they could still be used.

Heatherway snapped her fingers and used Wizard’s Hand to control a dropper to put a few drops of liquid into a measuring cylinder that had blue liquid inside. She then shook the cylinder to mix the liquid. Soon, the liquid in the cylinder showed some strange changes.

“Lucky, this potion is well preserved, and its effect is not lost.” Heatherway put down the cylinder and pointed at one potion bottle.

“What about the other potions?” Su Lun asked.

“The rest of these potions are either expired and no longer work, or the substances inside have undergone magical disintegration. They are completely unusable. Of course, if you want to poison someone, you could try.” Heatherway sealed the good potion bottle again and handed it over while speaking.

Su Lun reached out and took the potion. The red liquid in the crystal bottle hit the bottle walls, occasionally sparkling with a strange light, looking somewhat eerie. “Then what is this potion for?”

“It’s a Bloodline Potion. If used by the right person, they can gain the corresponding bloodline and become a Bloodline Sorcerer.” Heatherway poured the remaining potions into a special container, then added another kind of potion. After the potions neutralized each other, they turned into a somewhat murky solution.

“Bloodline Potion? You mean this potion can turn an ordinary person into a Warlock?” Su Lun said in surprise.

“Whoosh!” Watching the water wash away the treated potions, Heatherway continued, “Don’t be happy too soon. Although a Bloodline Potion can turn an ordinary person into a Bloodline Sorcerer, there are conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“If a Bloodline Potion is given to an ordinary person, the best time is when they are ten to twelve years old. The latest should not exceed sixteen years old. This is because it takes more than a year for the bloodline potion to fully merge, and becoming a Warlock requires awakening the bloodline before the age of eighteen.”

“What if the user is not an ordinary person?” Su Lun shook the potion in his hand.

“If the user is a Wizard or a Wizard Apprentice, this age limit can be extended to thirty years old. If it’s a Knight, it can be extended to twenty years old.”

Heatherway smoothed her hair and continued, “But I don’t recommend using this Bloodline Potion.”

“What’s wrong with this potion?”

“There are many types of Bloodline Potions. Each type has different potential. The best ones, of course, are those with bloodlines from high-level creatures like Dragons. This Bloodline Potion uses the bloodline of a mid-level Demon, the Clawfiend. Its potential is limited, and Demon Warlocks are not welcome in the Prime Material World.”

Actually, Demon Warlocks were not just unwelcome. Because they merged with Demon bloodlines, these people were constantly influenced by the will of the Abyss. The stronger their power, the deeper this influence became. The final outcome was falling into the Abyss and becoming a real Demon.

Of course, there were people in this world who wanted to become Demons. After all, with many people, there were all kinds of odd ones. After becoming a Demon, lifespan and power would greatly increase. And according to Demon evolution, as long as they didn’t die, they could keep evolving. It was even possible to become a Demon Lord, of course, provided they didn’t die.

To be honest, Demons advanced very quickly, especially low-level Demons. Through fighting each other, as long as they survived, they could advance quickly.

There was no specific conclusion on how long a Demon’s lifespan was, but one thing was certain: so far, no Demon had lived to die of old age.

Su Lun did not plan to use this thing, but that didn’t mean it was useless. For example, he could create a minor villain boss to gain experience. A mid-level Demon could give tens of thousands of experience points. With good luck, he could level up directly.

Casually throwing this potion into his Storage Space, Su Lun left the Laboratory. Heatherway was quite busy during this time, with a lot of materials for her to handle. Making suitable magic equipment from the materials of six Frost Wyverns was not a simple task.

“Lord, Mr. Ji En has returned with the Caravan. Traveling with them are two Centaur envoys and a team of Centaur Warriors.” Just as Su Lun was about to go to the Training Ground for exercise, a member of the Militia hurried over to report.

“Take that team of Centaur Warriors to a settlement outside the town. Prepare some food for them and let them rest there. Make sure no one disturbs them.”

“For the Centaur envoys, take them to the meeting room. Let Chris host them on my behalf first. I will be there soon.” Su Lun immediately had people make arrangements.

After saying goodbye to Heatherway, Su Lun hurried to the castle. After changing into a set of splendid clothes, he went to meet the Centaur envoys. To be honest, although he had been in this world for a long time, this was Su Lun’s first time seeing Centaurs.

The two Centaur envoys were one male and one female. They had human-like facial features and green hair. The female Centaur had a beautiful braid with gemstone decorations. Her facial features were also delicate.

The male Centaur had a strong body, standing at least two meters and forty centimeters tall. His muscle outlines were clear, obviously a powerful Warrior. Both Centaurs had Elves-like pointy ears and golden eyes.

It was said that this Centaur Tribes had some tree spirit bloodline, which could be seen from their ears. The two Centaurs in front wore white linen robes. The lower part of the robe was wide, half falling along the human body and half draped over the horse’s back behind. Both Centaurs were bay red. Even from a human perspective, they were handsome and beautiful.

Su Lun felt a kind of Elemental Energy from the female Centaur. Different from the Elemental Energy on a Wizard, this power carried a sense of solemn dignity. Su Lun guessed that this female Centaur was most likely a Priest.

Centaur Tribes were spread widely, and they believed in different gods. Some worshipped the Storm God, some worshipped the Goddess of Nature and the Earth Mother. It was said that the earliest Centaurs had some god’s bloodline. Like the human world, Centaurs also had Nobles and commoners.

Ordinary Centaurs had average intelligence and bad tempers, making them difficult to get along with. But the Noble Centaurs had high intelligence. They possessed rich knowledge and also had Priests. The two envoys here were clearly Centaur Nobles.
