Chapter 66: Soul Steed Emblem

  The Duke bought the Victory Wine to present to Her Highness the Princess, celebrating her 17th birthday. However, before it could be delivered to the Imperial Capital, Porusuna was struck by the Land Sinking Technique, and the Victory Wine also sank into the bank.

  "Feel free to drink, these wine barrels are made of olive oak, even at room temperature, without any treatment, they can keep the wine for three hundred years." Holma gestured to Tanton to taste, "I've checked, the wine barrels are engraved with the Natural Breath Symbol Array, even if it's left for another thousand years, there won't be a problem."

  "Taste it!" Danton handed the wine glass to Serese.

  "It's delicious." The Death Witch took a small sip, and immediately felt a rich, sweet flavor fill her mouth.

  "The cellar is sealed, with no changes in humidity and temperature. Calculated, the victory wine is equivalent to being cellared for three thousand years. Once it hits the market, it will be priceless."

  "We're not short of money, so we won't sell!" Tāng Dùn felt around the wine barrel, carefully examining it. The ingenious storage method was unparalleled, filled with practicality and a sense of beauty. "Does this wine have any other effects?"

  Serres handed the glass to Danton's lips and he took a sip.

  "Nourishing the body, calming the mind, and refreshing the brain, of course, also accelerates wound healing." Holma exclaimed, "With these fine wines, your injuries will recover much faster."

  "I couldn't bear to drink it like this!" Tang had been poor for a long time, how dare he waste good wine like this, "It should be left to entertain guests."

  "Unsophisticated commoners, once you've taken over the rich districts where the nobles reside, you can find plenty of fine wines. Even if they don't have any, there are ducal mansions, and I'm sure the wine cellars will be stocked with excellent vintages that'll keep you drunk for a while." Holma scolded, "You're not the same country bumpkin as before, okay?"

  "It's essential to recover from injuries." Seris nodded hastily, feeling very familiar with these fine wines, as if she had often drunk them before.

  "You can't beat us, but Seres wants a drink, anytime." Danton patted the box, "One person, two looks, who opens up the best thing, who comes first?"

  Homa naturally didn't argue and pushed Seres over.

  Seris was very nervous, her two index fingers twisted together, hesitated for a long time, finally chose two boxes, then slowly opened a slit, and peeked inside with her head tilted.

  "What is it?" Tandon was not in a hurry, letting the death witch make trouble as she pleased.

  "A badge radiating white light." Serese opened the box, inside which was lined with red velvet, and placed on it was a circular badge emitting a white glow, engraved with a unicorn.

  The two of them looked at the Magic Book, and at this time, naturally, it was the turn of the great Homura-sama, who could be compared to a large encyclopedia.

  "Do you know what a soul mount is?" Holma asked, not waiting for Tang Don's answer, and explained in projected text, "This is one of the highest-end and most expensive mounts among all known types on various planes. When those rare exotic beasts die, their souls can be implanted into badges made from their bones using soul arrays and many precious materials, allowing them to exist in a spiritual form."

  "It's said that creating a soul mount costs at least tens of millions of gold coins, it's completely a symbol of status and identity." Tang Dun naturally had heard of this, there were countless rumors like this in the taverns, the mount of the King of Delanckfort was a Star Realm Beast.

  "Ah, the failure rate, production cost and complexity make the Soul Steed's price very high, so it's usually only kings and dukes who don't want to see their mounts that they've ridden for years die, that turn them into Soul Steeds, continuing to keep them by their side."

  "I heard that a bard said, there are people who specialize in hunting and killing heroic demon beasts, even super-class demon beasts, such as giant dragons, to make soul mounts and sell them at sky-high prices?" Tang Don took the mount badge handed over by Serese and examined it carefully.

  The bone material has a touch of coolness, and the unicorn pattern on it is also vivid, obviously from the master's hand.

  "Uh, the most accomplished in this line is the Ferrari family. In the past, they were massacring various heroic demon beasts all over the continent, but it was too wasteful of financial and material resources. After accumulating their initial wealth, more than a thousand years ago, a leader of the family changed strategies and began purchasing rare demon beasts and researching simplified soul steed badges."

  "I know, the Ferrari badge is a symbol of nobility! One of the favorite luxury goods of the rich second generation of various empires." Downton smiled, "How about this one compared to those?"

  "This is not a Ferrari that has been reduced for success rate, but a true elven craft that completely preserves all the information in front of the unicorn. Holma had already used magic detection and gave a very high evaluation to the craftsmanship of the mount badge."

  Seris held the badge, infused with magical energy, and immediately lit up a brilliant light. A white beam shot out from the badge, forming a unicorn's head in mid-air, and by the time it landed, its entire body had materialized.

  The unicorn was as white as snow all over, like a cloud in the clear sky. It stepped on its hooves and shook its head, with its beautiful mane fluttering like a wave of water.

  "How lovely!" Seres exclaimed, carefully reaching out to touch the unicorn's back.

  The unicorn let out a loud snort, stuck out its tongue and licked her cheek.

  "No!" Seres laughed and blocked.

  "The unicorn has a natural affinity for pure maidens," Holma explained.

  "Is the soul steed's speed unmatched, right?" Tang Dun stroked the unicorn, its streamlined body and every muscle full of power, like a perfect sculpture.

  "This statement is incorrect, as long as the magic energy is instilled, they will continue to run, but exceeding the limit, the soul will collapse." Holma warned, "So be careful when using it, because once damaged, there's no possibility of repair."

  "What's its top speed? What's the longest distance it can run?" Tangdon asked, wishing he could ride one if they weren't in a dungeon.

  "Go and find out for yourself, it's also a kind of happiness." Holma sighed, "Poor Black Emperor, only effective once, and then abandoned."

  "Yeah, and I spent 20,000 gold coins on the Black Emperor too." Tang Dun regretted it, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bought it. It's been stuck in the war zone all this time, who knows if it's starved to death or not.

  "Common people, can't you talk about something other than money?"

  "Is there any other effect besides summoning a unicorn?" Tang Dun didn't argue with the Magic Book, judging from its style of doing things, it must have been a wealthy and arrogant master in the past.

  "It can also activate a shield on one side of the Dragon Slayer's stage." Holma's answer shocked Tong Dun.

  "Ah, did I hear that right?" Tang Don Mei's eyes sparkled with bubbles, "Doesn't that mean Robinson can't break through my defense?"

  "Stop dreaming, with the little magical energy you have stored up, even if you use it all up, you won't be able to activate the Unicorn Shield. And don't think about using magic drills as a substitute, it's not possible." Holma directly shattered Tong Dun's fantasy.

  "Whatever, I'm already satisfied with getting a soul mount." Tong Dun's expression had just turned satisfied when he suddenly froze up again. "If I ride this thing out, it'll definitely cause a commotion. Li Si Te and those mercenaries would fight over a perfect war axe, let alone seeing a unicorn - they'd go crazy trying to kill me!"

  "Can't you just hide it away?" Homa sneered, "Look at your little tricks, one by one, two by two, kill them until they don't dare to covet your treasure anymore."

  "Right, let's take them down." Tong Dun clenched his fist and then said a sentence that almost made Mo Dian vomit blood. "Cecilia, the unicorn is yours."

  "Really?" Serenity hugged Tanton, shaking his arm excitedly, then floated off, circling the unicorn several times.

  "Hmm!"

  Seris helped a lot, Tanton only sent a bracelet and felt too bad about himself. After all, the unicorn paired with the beauty is naturally the best combination.

  "No way, Seres won't go out again, and there's the floating technique, what's the point of having a mount? It's a waste!" Holma vetoed. "You're courting trouble, riding a unicorn will at least give you a few more chances to escape, at least when entering or leaving Crow Ridge, even if you encounter that 'Lord', it won't be able to catch you."

  Seris lowered her head, two fingers twisted together, and looked like she was about to cry.

  "Never mind Horma, I'll send you off." Danton glared at Mo Tian and comforted Serese.

  "No, no, I'm not angry at the unicorn, but..." Seres wanted to explain, but couldn't get it out.

  "Are you thinking of leaving the dungeon?" Holma was clever and immediately guessed the Death Witch's thoughts, "Wait until Tandon has gained power to talk about it, for now, forget it, unless you want to go out and be caught by the church people to be purified and burned to death."

  Seris pouted and tears fell to the ground with a patter.

  "Don't be sad, I'll do my best to get the position of town mayor, and when that time comes, Morning Dew Town will be under my control. Whoever dares to disobey me, I'll hang them on the gallows." Tong Dun intentionally used a cruel tone to comfort Serese.

  "Hmph, you're not that bad after all." Ciel burst into laughter and handed the badge back to Tanaka, "You take it, as long as you're safe."

  Danton pushed aside, seeing that Seres indeed didn't accept, sighed and secretly made up his mind to send a rare and interesting gift to the Death Witch.

  "Show off your love again and I'll burn you both to death!" Horma projected the words, scaring the two people.

  "How could you!" Seres's cheeks instantly flushed with redness, even her ear roots were completely red.

  Downton was also embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Let's look at the next box."

  As soon as Serese opened the second box, both of their gazes froze.

  On the plush blanket laid in the box, one hundred crystal-made jewelry boxes were neatly placed, each containing a meticulously cut and polished magic diamond.

  "We're rich!"

  Looking at these magic crystals that still shone with a bewildering luster under the dim light of the oil lamp, Tang Dong's breathing became heavy. Apart from its own significance, just talking about its price, it would absolutely exceed tens of millions of gold coins.
