82: Chapter 82 Ghost Bottle and Fury 82: Chapter 82 Ghost Bottle and Fury Zhao Guang looked at the gift; the large bottle of Holy Spring was the most important. However, there was another bottle that looked quite dull, and it was somewhat unclear what it was. Zhao Guang picked it up and was about to open it when he was stopped. Aleya placed her hand on Zhao Guang’s hand and quickly said, “Don’t open it. This is a Ghost Bottle, and it contains a ghost. If released, it will be uncontrollable.” There were only the two of them, Priests, and an apprentice there. If they could not control it, the trouble would be significant. “A ghost? What use is that?” Zhao Guang asked, his face filled with peculiarity and his heart with apprehension. What a ghost was, that was a specter, after all. Thinking that such a thing was in his own hands made Zhao Guang’s skin crawl. If it were not for his trust that the Beastmen would not harm him, Zhao Guang might have thrown away the bottle. “The Ghost Bottle is very popular among Humans. Many Human Nobles are fond of it, especially the more special kinds.” Zhao Guang looked at Osra with a puzzled expression; this guy seemed to have a rather high status too. Continuing, Osra said, “Ghosts can create illusions around themselves. Human Nobles like to have ghosts from the Ghost Bottles dance, and it’s said they can transform into various forms. I don’t understand what’s so appealing about that.” What? Capable of using Illusion Techniques to take on various forms, no wonder they liked it. And it wasn’t just them; Zhao Guang himself was intrigued. Imagine letting a ghost transform into various celebrities for his own private show. Although you couldn’t touch, only watch, that could greatly satisfy a psychological need. “I see, I understand now. So, how do I control it?” “This is a Spell, the ghost in this Ghost Bottle originates from a female swan person, one of the races most adept at dancing,” Aleya wasn’t too fond of these things either. However, seeing Zhao Guang’s reaction, it seemed the gift was not misgiven, and Aleya relaxed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t as easily trusting of Humans as those brainless fellows were. But since it could bring benefits to the Beastmen, the Beastman Royal Court also would not let go of the idea of winning over Zhao Guang. This Ghost Bottle was specifically sought out and created by ghosts before they came here. After all, this sort of thing was popular among Human Nobles, but that was not quite the case among the Beastmen. The Beastmen, more than Humans, revered physical strength. They preferred watching events like gladiatorial combat. “Many thanks, I like this very much.” After securing the bottle, Zhao Guang saw Lai Wu wave his hand, and someone brought over some items. These were items from the last exchange, besides the Holy Spring. There were some Evil Exorcism Technique scrolls that he needed, and then there were some Gold Coins, albeit in a limited quantity. “This is for you. I heard you became a Junior Warrior. This is a gift from a friend.” “What is this?” Zhao Guang asked, looking at a small booklet in his hands. This item didn’t seem to fit the Beastman style. Lai Wu didn’t hide anything: “Got it from an enemy in the past, it’s the Combat Skill Frenzy, said to be a very powerful Battle Skill.” Zhao Guang’s heart leaped with joy at the mention of a Battle Skill, appreciating Lai Wu’s thoughtfulness. “I am quite satisfied, but I won’t look at it right now.” “Of course, you can read it after you complete your Lifebound Battle Skill.” The cultivation of a Lifebound Battle Skill must not be disturbed, which was why Yars had only let Zhao Guang choose one initially. If one’s instincts were to run with other Battle Skills, it would severely affect the formation of the Lifebound Battle Skill. Although the Rune has already been formed and it doesn’t have a significant impact, that doesn’t mean there’s no impact at all. Once his strength continued to increase and he started to cultivate his second Lifebound Battle Skill, the problem wouldn’t be that big. So for now, the Combat Skill Frenzy would have to wait until after he had mastered the Solid Wall Armor. “Alright, we’ve talked enough, let’s get the banquet started,” Kapas bellowed loudly. “Such a barbarian,” Aleya frowned slightly, murmuring in dissatisfaction. “What did you say? I am imposing and majestic,” Kapas glared back discontentedly, his eyes filled with disdain. Yes, disdain, for in the eyes of Kapas, such a beautiful woman was nothing more than a bean sprout. Zhao Guang felt speechless in his heart as he had come to understand the Beastmen’s aesthetics somewhat. Here was a beauty who would be highly sought after among humans, yet she had grown up in the twisted aesthetic environment of the Beastmen. It was truly hard on them. He wondered if he would ever have the chance to rescue them, Zhao Guang thought to himself somberly. The banquet started, and Zhao Guang managed to avoid the exuberant eating habits of these folks by claiming he recently couldn’t eat much. As for Aleya, true to her Beastman nature, no matter how pretty she was, she remained a Beastman. Though she did eat with some grace, her consumption of hot pot soup and chili oil was no less voracious than any other Beastman’s. Watching Aleya’s manner, the Beastmen kept egging her on. Zhao Guang felt the urge to facepalm, confirming that he indeed couldn’t handle their boisterous spirit. Those rosy lips, Zhao Guang now had absolutely no thoughts about them. If he were to kiss her, he had no idea if she would feel anything, but he would definitely end up chugging water nonstop due to the spiciness. “Lord Zhao Guang, if possible, we could also use some iron ingots,” during the banquet, Aleya said as she sat beside Zhao Guang, continuing to make conversation. But her attempts at small talk were somewhat lacking; Zhao Guang seemed to say a lot, but essentially revealed nothing. Aleya, finding no other recourse, finally reverted to discussing serious matters. “Iron ingots, huh? No problem.” Doing business, he felt not the slightest quiver. “I feel your spirit is very active, are you practicing the Meditation Skill?” Zhao Guang was startled. Could she sense it? “Just call me by my name; no need for formality. But as for the Meditation Skill, I am indeed practicing it.” “Human Magic, much more sophisticated than our Sacrificial Secret Technique, but sadly, we cannot learn it,” Aleya said self-deprecatingly. Zhao Guang, however, was a bit surprised; weren’t Beastmen supposed to underappreciate magic? But then again, although these Beastmen were rough, they were pragmatists. If magic was powerful, how could they not know it? Indeed, it was another misconception caused by preconceived notions. “However, a Mage’s cultivation will need a lot of materials in the future, many of which are unique to us Beastmen.” “Is that so, then we’ll have to count on you guys a lot in the future.” Was she discussing ongoing business with him? This Fox Demon sure was no ordinary being, her intellect at least much stronger than that of other Beastmen. Zhao Guang even felt that if it weren’t for Aleya always living with a bunch of brainless Beastmen, had she been more exposed to the deceitful ways of the human world, he might have been easily played by her.
