Logically speaking, the transaction with the Tree Shade was very smooth. Both sides took what they needed. In terms of intelligence, the West Town knew the former King's City, including the top forces of the King's Court, the experts within the Royal Family, and so on. There were many secrets that even the best intelligence personnel might not be able to understand. The Iron Blood Duke's Mansion was at a high enough level to be qualified to know some of the secrets of the King's City.
But only a few.
As for Zapor, he understood the current King's City. With the integration of intelligence from both sides, a lot of information could be compared and inferred more information.
As planned from the beginning, everything was going in an orderly manner.
The West Town had also recently formed a new legion, ready to explore the outside with the Tree Shade.
However, the Tree Shade set up a station here, but it was almost completely open to the public. It's like … it's like sending warmth.
What's the point?!
Butler Henry still couldn't figure it out.
However, the information collected in private showed that the residents' evaluation of the Tree Shade station was very high. The hunters coming in and out were all smiling. Some people were even flushed, shouting all day long, "We've made a lot of money."
No matter how you look at it, it's all good for the West Town.
Two days later, Butler Henry and the Iron Blood Duke Moore arrived at the Tree Shade station in disguise with their entourage.
Oh, no, it's the Tree Shade Commercial Square.
Before he could get close, he saw the words "Tree Shade Commercial Square" flashing fluorescent in the distance, and there was also the sound of passionate or soft music coming into his ears.
They couldn't understand the beautiful melody, but it was very comfortable.
"Sir, where do you want to go first?"
Moore thought for a moment and asked, "We're in disguise. Won't we be discovered?" He didn't want to explore in private, but it would be a bit shameful if he was discovered.
"Don't worry, Sir. As far as I know, there's only one Transcendent in the station … oh, the commercial square. He's in the CEO's office on the highest floor of that building."
Henry couldn't help but pull his neat clothes and continued, "During this period of contact, the Tree Shade's strength is indeed unfathomable. Just the Transcendent alone, there are already ten of them, and all of them are experienced Transcendents. It's just that the Tree Shade's layout should not be small. Most of the Transcendents have a mission."
Moore decided to take a look at the Exchange Hall first.
Although it was called a trading house, it was actually a series of shops. Most of the shops were owned by Tree Shade. Some sold rune equipment, daily necessities, food, and even crafts.
There were a lot of customers around the shop. It was bustling with people coming and going. It even drove the local commodity trading. In the trading area set up in the Tree Shade Commercial Square, there were already many people hawking and inquiring.
"This laundry detergent called Red Sun is really good. I poured a little of it down, and the clothes were clean after scrubbing!"
"The one that left the deepest impression on me is still the Spicy Strip. The taste is really strong, but the name is a bit of a mouthful."
"Speaking of delicacies, I have to mention Chen Shouyi's Thirteen Spices, also known as seasonings. Tomorrow at noon, my restaurant will open at Shop 76 in the Commercial Square. I will be the head chef, using Tree Shade's seasonings to cook our West Town's specialty delicacies. I will strive to create a positive image of our two beautiful cooperation.
Duke Moore, who came to the trading house for the first time, opened his mouth in confusion.
What are they talking about? He could recognize every single word, but why couldn't he understand them when they were strung together?
Am I out of touch with the times?
Most of the people were still at the purchase windows in the trading house. The residents of Western Town City had formed a long line here, and people were constantly bringing their own items to the purchase windows for identification. Some people left in disappointment, while others were pleasantly surprised and shouted, "I've made a lot of money, I've made a lot of money!" Turning around, they took the crystal tickets they had obtained (the general equivalent of spirit stones) and rushed into the shops next to them.
“？？？”
Duke Moore was even more confused. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the butler.
The butler, Henry, coughed, "Sir, these goods in the trading house are all on our trading list. The warehouse is now stocked. Why don't we go to other places to have a look?"
He pointed to the high-end "star restaurant" in the distance, "The chef of that restaurant is very good at cooking, and there are a lot of Tree Shade's specialty dishes. It's worth a try."
… …
The restaurant was decorated in the style of Earth, with an elegant slow melody and dark soft lights. Moore was secretly amazed.
The two of them walked into the private room under the guidance of a servant wearing cat ears and a maid's uniform.
Other than the manager and the chef, the rest of the staff were all recruited from the local residents of West Town. But they were very quick to learn. Or rather, from a large enough number of people, it was always easy to select some suitable 'talents'.
Let all customers feel the warmth of home.
The menu was a thick book. Moore gently flipped through the pages. The dishes on it were very rich and high-end.
For example, this "Dragon Swimming the Four Seas". The main ingredient used was the Eighth Awakening Stage Emerald Blood Lobster, paired with the rare ingredient "Purple Fennel Bamboo". Not only was it delicious and refreshing, but it was also beneficial to cultivation.
The picture of the recipe was a moving image. Mo Er seemed to have seen a mighty and majestic lobster jumping out from the bottom of the sea. Then … it became an ingredient on the table.
The price was also very expensive, 3888 spirit stones (or equivalent crystal tickets). It made him understand why there were so few customers in this "star restaurant".
In the past two days, after the deal with the Tree Shade was reached, the Duke's Mansion's chef also began to add exotic beast meat to the menu, reminding Moore of the taste from decades ago.
But the supreme dishes in the "star restaurant", Moore felt that even the Duke's Mansion's most glorious moment was not so luxurious. Even the Imperial Court may not have it. After all, before the Black Tide outbreak, exotic beasts were not everywhere. But in this menu, he could see that the Tree Shade had developed countless exotic beast meat dishes.
In the study of food, they were the best.
The Tree Shade's heritage was indeed extraordinary. He never thought that the Tree Shade, a city that had only been established for a few months, had risen to a behemoth with tens of thousands of years of heritage in his mind.
He must be on good terms with them.
Moore originally wanted to order all the dishes. But after seeing the price, he bitterly retracted his hand. In the end, he only ordered three supreme dishes and eight ordinary dishes.
More than 10,000 spirit stones were spent just like that. It made Moore feel guilty.
As the current Duke, he shouldered the fate of the entire West Town's people. Was it too corrupt for him to do this?
Moore fell into a dilemma. Not long after, a sumptuous dish was served by the waiter.
The jade-like tender meat, as the lid was lifted, the aroma swept through the entire box, making his taste buds salivate.
He forked a piece of meat and sent it into his mouth. For a moment, it was as if his soul was sublimated, as if he was in the blue sky and white clouds, constantly flying.
His breath involuntarily dispersed, and his buttons burst open. His palm had turned into an afterimage. The delicious food crossed a parabola and accurately fell into his mouth.
Butler Henry was also busy eating. His mouth was still mumbling, "My Lord, this dish tastes great. This one is also delicious. It's different from the last time I tasted it. The Tree Shade's dishes are really rich."
Duke Moore's hand holding the fork paused.
He looked at the butler with an unkind expression.
Last time?
How much did you eat behind my back?!
… …
Butler Henry smiled awkwardly but politely.
Can official business be called eating secretly?
But he didn't dare to talk back. He could only bitterly slow down the speed of eating the food. Seeing these delicious dishes disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, Henry clutched his chest and sighed silently.
Next time.
It's better to sneak out and eat by myself.
The meal took more than an hour, and they cultivated in the box for a few hours, digesting all the food.
After a long time, Duke Moore's eyes lit up and sighed, "It's indeed a supreme level of service. The box even has a spirit gathering array. The effect is extraordinary when matched with food cultivators."
"Let's go."
They paid and walked out of the "star restaurant".
Ten thousand spirit stones for a table of food. Now that he thought about it, it was still expensive.
But it was delicious!
Recalling that taste, Duke Moore's taste buds unconsciously secreted saliva.
Something was wrong!
Why did he have the urge to eat again?!
… …
In order to avoid the outbreak of his gluttonous soul, Duke Moore didn't forget his original purpose. Before coming to the "training camp".
"Indulging in food will only make people depressed. However, the Tree Shade actually opened the" training camp "to the public. They probably think that the combination of food and cultivation complements each other."
"Let's go in and have a look."
As the oldest country in the mainland, the Aino Kingdom naturally had a mature cultivation system.
There were also a lot of exercise and cultivation facilities.
Small aristocratic mansions may not have it, but big aristocratic mansions had all kinds of auxiliary cultivation equipment and arrays. Their Duke's Mansion, under the training field, laid out a top spirit gathering array, surrounded by the highest energy absorption crystal wall. No matter how they tried and practiced, it wouldn't cause major damage.
The reason why the aristocracy had always been above the common people was because of resources and strength. Even if there were top geniuses among the common people, they would often be pocketed by the aristocracy.
However, many aristocrats only provided quality resources to the family's direct descendants. Even if the geniuses were given some cultivation resources and training fields, it was far from comparable to the aristocracy's children.
Duke Moore thought that the Iron and Blood Duke's Mansion was relatively open-minded. Geniuses with foreign surnames, as long as they had enough contributions, were qualified to practice in the top training field. But they didn't have the Tree Shade's big money to fully open the training field.
At this time, the "training camp" was full of hunters. Moore also saw some soldiers on vacation wearing the West Town City Defense Army armor.
"3x Source Qi Cultivation Room, 5x Source Qi Cultivation Room …"
Duke Moore's eyes swept around and saw a 10x Source Qi Cultivation Room. Although the price was very high, there were still many people fighting for the 10x Source Qi Cultivation Room. He knew a few of the aristocrats.
Really …
Indeed, many big aristocratic mansions didn't have a formation that could gather 10x Source Qi. In his opinion, the Tree Shade opened this kind of cultivation room to the public. Didn't their Transcendents need to cultivate?
Even if the price was high, it was extremely difficult to arrange a 10x Source Qi Gathering Array. The precious materials needed were countless. It couldn't be measured in spirit stones.
Wait.
Duke Moore suddenly remembered that the buildings in the Tree Shade Commercial Square were all built in a few breaths. Could it be that the Spirit Gathering Array was also … No, it's impossible. It's all an illusion.
They must have built the cultivation room first and then secretly installed it in the "training camp."
Yes, it must be!
Duke Moore continued to comfort himself. The Duke's Mansion had a maximum 15x Source Qi Cultivation Room, and a 10x Source Qi Cultivation Room … Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.
Butler Henry had been to the "training camp" before. He was familiar with the place. Under his guidance, Duke Moore saw more magical training facilities.
"100x Gravity Room. Indeed, in a gravity environment, it can balance every part of the body. What a good idea."
"House of Fear? Magnify the fear in your heart? If you can overcome your fear, you can indeed go to the next level in a short time. "
"Pressure Room? Feeling the pressure of a powerhouse's aura at close range, the highest is Transcendents? Does the Tree Shade want a distinguished Transcendents to constantly release pressure? "
Shaking his head, Moore shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his heart. He had to praise the Tree Shade's ingenious idea. A legion that was accustomed to the pressure of a powerhouse could still exert 80-90% of its combat power in a battle. But a legion that had never experienced it before, suddenly being oppressed by a Transcendents' aura, was likely to be in chaos. At a critical moment, it would be a disaster.
He didn't know how the pressure in the Pressure Room, which was said to be adjustable, was created. But he had made up his mind to let the Transcendents in the mansion free up their hands to train the legion soldiers' ability to resist pressure.
After all, Duke Moore was a Transcendent. Whether it was the Gravity Room, the House of Fear, or the Pressure Room, they didn't help him much.
After going around, the two came to the spiritual space access area.
Many of the room's doors were closed, and the indicator lights were on, indicating that the room was being used.
Butler Henry explained, "The spiritual space, in essence, can be understood as guiding the spiritual power into a very realistic illusory space. Inside, you can carry out a variety of training, set the enemy you want to fight, and learn from other hunters. There are also similar checkpoint scenes …"
"Illusory space? How realistic is it? "
Henry deliberated for a moment, but still said, "I can't see any flaws. Except that you can't die, it's like a real world."
"So, you can experience training methods in the spiritual space that can't be achieved in the outside world?" Moore was excited, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get me a card. Let me experience it."
Butler Henry didn't get a card. He hesitated for a while and finally used his spiritual power to transmit his voice, "Sir, the illusory method is different from the previous training facilities. I'm worried that the Tree Shade has some control methods in it. Although the possibility is not high, I don't recommend you to be involved until I investigate it clearly."
The butler said it sincerely, and Duke Moore also felt it made sense.
But then he thought about it.
Wait a minute.
Did you go to the "spiritual space" behind my back again???
