93: Chapter 93 Bypassing Yalugo 93: Chapter 93 Bypassing Yalugo Zhao Guang simply thought for a moment and then stopped pondering, seeing as he was not in any real hurry at present. “By the way, there’s another thing, I need some amber, and I need a greater quantity of this.” “Amber? What is that?” Ocoro continued to peruse the artworks, asking without lifting his head. “It’s that same kind you mentioned last time, the yellow one that can be burned, but it’s not very effective as fuel.” Upon saying this, Ocoro frowned in thought and finally remembered what it was. “You’re talking about that stuff? It’s terrible material, it can’t be used as building materials at all, and it’s not fireproof. If used for carving, it’s too brittle to shape properly.” I, of course, know that, but that’s not at all what it’s for, Zhao Guang thought to himself. Keeping a steady expression, Zhao Guang directly said, “The so-called art pieces are about accomplishing what others think impossible. The harder the material is to sculpt, the higher the artistic value once it is successfully carved.” That’s a good point, and worth jotting down in a little notebook to impress others later. “You make an excellent point; alright, I’ll get it for you. There’s plenty of that stuff, I can send over a large batch at a time.” “Wait, I have a requirement: you need to find someone to sort it for me. I want pure amber without any impurities. The purer it is, the higher its value.” Zhao Guang quickly put forth a request. In reality, it wasn’t like that at all; amber with inclusions was actually more valuable. But Zhao Guang didn’t dare take the risk. If there were remnants of non-Earth flora or fauna inside and someone knowledgeable recognized it, how could he explain? That would definitely cause problems. “Don’t worry, I understand. I’ll also have someone research how to carve this stuff.” Ocoro really intended to carve, well then, good luck to you. After arranging these matters, Zhao Guang found an excuse and left quickly. Facing such a group of artisans was quite a mental strain for him. It wasn’t long after he left that he was found by Klay. “Lord Zhao Guang, the Commander requests your presence.” “Ah, it’s Secretary Klay. Let’s go at once.” It must be that Count Yars and Viscount Yalugao finished their discussion. Bringing so many tricycles this time—if Yars didn’t know, that would be strange. Soon, Zhao Guang met Count Yars, but he didn’t see Viscount Yalugao here. “You already know about the situation in the south, you can provide a large number of weapons and tricycles, right?” “Of course, of course, that’s not a problem at all.” “How should we divide up the trade then?” This was about giving Viscount Yalugao his share. Zhao Guang directly said, “This is your territory, so I will only trade with you. How you handle the rest is up to you.” Zhao Guang was trying to bypass Viscount Yalugao and exclude him from the deal. As for whether Count Yars would share part of it with Viscount Yalugao afterwards, that was no concern of his. He was merely a supplier of goods; their internal distribution of interests was not his to meddle with. Count Yars’s eyes flickered slightly, then he spoke, “What if I don’t give Viscount Yalugao his share?” “That’s for Earl Yars to decide; it’s not something I can influence.” “Very good, very good, I like a person like you.” Count Yars was very pleased; the lad was sensible. If Zhao Guang had casually connected with others, then he would have needed to reassess the situation moving forward. “I once said that you would get a surprise once you became a Junior Warrior.” Zhao Guang remained silent. What kind of surprise could it be that would suddenly make him a Junior Mage? It had to be said that cultivating as a mage was truly slow, the progress being much slower than the Breathing Technique he used to practice. Sadly, he hadn’t found any Potions to aid his cultivation yet. “Here, take this; from now on, you are an Imperial Knight.” “An Imperial Knight? Is that nobility?” “In name, an Imperial Knight is indeed a member of the nobility, but to real nobles, a knight is not one of their number. However, with this status, you can progress further and even become true nobility someday.” By his side, Klay quietly said to Zhao Guang, his eyes filled with envy. “Many merchants would spend their whole fortunes just for a knight’s title. Once you have the title, if you do well, you can get promoted.” So that’s it; no wonder it’s considered a surprise. However, such a thing wasn’t really of use to himself. Zhao Guang put the Knight’s badge in his pocket and then said, “I was wondering, Earl, if you have a Light Attribute sub-dragon Crystal Core. If you do, I would like to purchase one.” “A Light Attribute sub-dragon Crystal Core? What do you need that for?” Such high-level specialty items were not just valuable but also considered strategic military resources. “Didn’t I just get a method for cultivating the Holy Dragon Combat Energy?” Holy Dragon Combat Energy? Count Yars frowned. “I apologize, I don’t have such an item. As a matter of fact, the entire Empire has very few sub-dragon Crystal Cores and even if there were any, they’re likely already used up.” Zhao Guang was somewhat disappointed. If he hadn’t encountered the Holy Dragon Combat Energy, he might not have cared. But having seen the top-tier Combat Energy without being able to cultivate it made Zhao Guang feel quite uncomfortable. After Zhao Guang left, Count Yars said to Klay, “What do you think he meant by mentioning the Holy Dragon Combat Energy?” “Although no one can cultivate Holy Dragon Combat Energy, it’s not something that anyone could procure. Only Lord Ocoro or Viscount Yalugao could possibly have it.” “Are you saying that Viscount Yalugao tricked Zhao Guang with the Holy Dragon Combat Energy and Zhao Guang got a bad deal this time?” Klay didn’t speak, but Count Yars had already decided. “No wonder he avoided discussing with Viscount Yalugao, opting for a comprehensive deal with me directly. But of course, that kind of person indeed is not a good partner.” Suddenly, Count Yars mused, “Do you think, Zhao Guang was subtly warning me about not cooperating with Viscount Yalugao?” “Probably not, Earl. You should know more about Viscount Yalugao. It’s very likely that Lord Zhao Guang was just inquiring about the Crystal Core on a whim.” “That could be the case. I also looked for a Light Attribute Core for some time; anyone would want to cultivate such elite Combat Energy when they have the chance.” Thinking of this, Count Yars felt he understood Zhao Guang better, but he also felt a bit of sympathy. Even a noble of his stature couldn’t find one, so Zhao Guang certainly couldn’t. Holy Dragon Combat Energy was a top-tier commodity after all. This time, Zhao Guang might have really suffered a loss. Viscount Yalugao, lacking any intellect, did not think this through. If he offended such a person and later they ceased trading, wouldn’t his own loss be even greater?
