Han Jin sat quietly in his chair with his eyes slightly closed, deep in thought. Because he rarely interfered with military and political affairs, he had more time than others. Every day, apart from practicing, he would sit in his main seat and be lost in thought. Whenever this happened, the "crew" on the God of War would always be alert and avoid talking to each other as much as possible. Even if they had to talk, they would hide in the cabin. Even when they walked, they would be careful not to disturb Han Jin.
Hogan carefully calculated at the side of the ship. Although the hull of the God of War was huge, it was still difficult to accommodate more than 600 magic crystal cannons. Moreover, it wasn't as simple as just placing the magic crystal cannons on the ship. Once a battle broke out, they had to ensure that all the magic crystal cannons could fire freely. The distance between the magic crystal cannons couldn't be too close. The violent vibration of the cannon muzzle and the conflict of the magic crystal attributes could have unpredictable effects.
It was difficult for Hogan. Yalina and Kane did not have much experience in management, so he was responsible for the daily affairs of the Magic Legion and the Magic Academy. Now, Han Jin had handed over the installation of the magic crystal cannons to him. The pressure was too great and the burden was too heavy. However, Han Jin did not have any other candidates. Hogan's attainments in alchemy were better than Yalina and Kane's. He was older and more experienced than Yalina and Kane. Everything was just starting out, so he could not give anyone a trial. He had to do it well! As the saying goes, capable people do more work, so he could only trouble Hogan. Of course, Jeddis was also a good candidate, but Han Jin could not hand over the Magic Academy and the Magic Legion to Jeddis.
Although Han Jin did not have the experience of managing or ruling, he understood what balance was! Cultivation also required the balance of Yin and Yang and the five elements. The addition of the three Saint Knight and the priest group had already made Jeddis' strength above Guevara and Majordomo Gail. If he handed over the Magic Legion and the Magic Academy, once he left the Holy Crown City, no one would be able to restrain Jeddis.
It wasn't that Han Jin was guarding against Jeddes. If he had to guard against him, it would be to guard against the smallest of mistakes. He didn't want to go that far, and he also believed that Jeddes didn't want to go that far either.
Little Gold Bolt was creeping beside Han Jin listlessly. Not only it, but almost all the thunderbirds were a little depressed because Han Jin would not allow them to fly off the God of War.
After all, the thunderbirds were magical beasts. Although each of them had been transformed by Han Jin, their intelligence was still limited. A few days ago, they went out for a walk, and as a result, the Holy Crown City was in a mess. At that time, Han Jin happened to be not there, and Harley was in the Soul Devouring Orb, so no one could control them. As a result, they started a massacre in the Holy Crown City. Fortunately, they would not attack humans and horses for no reason, but the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the city all suffered.
People were feeding the chickens with bread crumbs, when suddenly lightning fell from the sky, blowing up big holes in the ground, and even crushing the chicken nests and dog nests into powder. Then, a giant bird taller than a human fell from the sky, picked up the bloody prey and flew into the sky proudly. How could ordinary people see such a thing? Some even fainted.
The weaker ones swallowed their teeth and pretended that nothing had happened. Those who felt that they had some background went to the street to find the patrols. The patrols came, but what could they do? Not to mention them, even the warriors and magicians of the Riptide and the Magic Legion, who dared to attack those thunderbirds? Everyone knew that those thunderbirds were the treasures of Lord Raphael!
In the end, they disturbed Yalina, who was meditating, and then the raging thunderbirds were controlled. Otherwise, it was estimated that all the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs in the city would have been slaughtered.
When Han Jin heard the news, he was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was impossible to reason with them. Even little Gold Lightning couldn't understand, let alone the other thunderbirds. In the end, Han Jin could only issue a simple order. Except for eating, all the thunderbirds could only stay there and not move. After a few days, the thunderbirds' mental state naturally became more and more sluggish.
This was even more unfortunate than the beasts in the zoo. In the zoo, at least they could move around in cages, but the thunderbirds could only stand there blankly. If there was an animal protection association in this world, they might come to Han Jin to protest, if they had the guts … Of course, this was only temporary. Once Harley was free, he would be able to control the thunderbirds.
After an unknown amount of time, Stillberg and Miriam came out one after another. Ever since Han Jin admitted their relationship, Stillberg and Miriam's relationship became closer and closer, and they no longer hid it. Seeing Han Jin sitting there deep in thought, Stillberg was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly turned around and raised his index finger at Miriam, indicating that she should not speak.
Then, Stillberg carefully walked behind Han Jin and reached out his hand to touch the cup on the table. If the water inside was cold, he was prepared to change it.
However, Han Jin had already noticed Stillberg. When Stillberg's hand touched the cup, he suddenly said, "Stillberg, have you been training diligently these past few days?"
Stillberg was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, how could I dare delay?! I can already feel the power you speak of. "
"What power?" Miriam asked curiously from behind. She had never heard Stillberg mention it before.
"Go away! Don't interrupt when a man is talking! "Stillberg glared at her.
Miriam, however, was not afraid at all. She stuck out her nose and glared back at Stillberg without backing down. However, she did not say anything else. After the nightmarish incident, she had become very autistic for a period of time, and did not speak to anyone. However, ever since she had met Stillberg, the knot in her heart had been untangled bit by bit, and she had gradually regained her lively personality.
"Haha …" Han Jin laughed. "You've got some guts. Aren't you afraid that Miriam will come after you when we get back?"
"I'll listen to her on small matters, but she'll listen to me on big matters." Stillberg chuckled. Since he had already put on an act, there was no harm in putting on an act until the end. He waved his hand and said casually, "Miriam, go back first. Don't disturb me and the young master."
Miriam was so angry that her face turned red, and she stomped her foot angrily. However, it was just as Stillberg had said. The matters between the two of them were separate matters, but when it came to outsiders, Miriam would always be very obedient. At the very least, she gave Stillberg a lot of face. She did not talk back or retort. After glaring at Stillberg for a moment, she turned around and walked away.
"Alright, if you continue to cause trouble, you'll be the one to suffer," Han Jin said with a smile. "Miriam, come back."
Han Jin's words were far more effective than Stillberg's. She immediately turned around and looked at Stillberg with a smile. She walked back quickly.
"Miriam, even though Stillberg has always called me young master, in my heart, I've always thought of him as my younger brother. You're his wife, so of course you're my family as well. There's nothing to worry about between the two of us," Han Jin said slowly.
"I know," Miriam replied softly. She then stood behind Han Jin and used her hands to gently massage Han Jin's shoulders. "I've heard him say that your lives back then … were very, very difficult." When she said that, Miriam's eyes turned red. When she heard Stillberg's story, she could not believe that the mighty Lord Raphael had such a tragic past.
"Young master, we … we haven't even gotten married yet." Stillberg's eyes also turned red.
"You've reminded me." Han Jin nodded. "At that time, I said that I wanted to organize your wedding, but then I went to the Abyss World and delayed your plans. Hmm … how about this, Hogan!"
"Yes, Master!" Hearing Han Jin calling for him, Hogan hurriedly stood up and walked over with large strides.
Han Jin opened his mouth but swallowed the words he wanted to say. He had wanted to let Hogan handle the wedding matters, but when he saw Hogan's bloodshot eyes and the paper filled with numbers in his hands, he really could not bring himself to say it.
He had made Hogan his slave purely out of the malice of humiliating him. He had never thought that Hogan would be so useful! In Isolated Cliff City, he had exchanged alchemy with Yalina and the others, but that was not an exchange. He had been teaching Yalina and Kane. Later, when he had built the God of War, and now, when he was managing the Magic Legion and the Magic Academy, Hogan had always been the busiest and most hardworking one out of all of them.
Although Hogan had not reached the point where he would give his all until he died, he was almost there. It was really almost there! Although Hogan's conduct was somewhat unbearable, and what made Han Jin dislike him was that he could not walk away when he saw beautiful women, he would always try to find a way to get them. Among Yalin Sanret's batch of slaves, many of them had been ruined by Hogan. However, no one was perfect. While controlling Hogan to not make any mistakes, he should also give him some benefits.
"Forget it." Han Jin waved his hand.
"Huh?" Hogan stared blankly at Han Jin. He was confused.
"Stillberg, how many Spirit Recovery Magic Scrolls can you make in a day?" Han Jin asked. In fact, Spirit Recovery Magic Scrolls were Recuperation Talismans. Compared to Spirit Refreshment Talismans, if the former was tea, the latter was a harmless stimulant. On the other hand, Recuperation Talismans could prolong one's life. Although their effectiveness was far inferior to Spirit Refreshment Talismans, they had their own advantages.
"I can make about twenty scrolls," Stillberg replied.
"From today onwards, give Hogan five Spirit Recovery Magic Scrolls every day."
"Yes, Young Master." Stillberg nodded. No matter what others thought of Hogan, he had a good impression of Hogan. This was normal. With Hogan's intelligence, of course, he would try his best to please Han Jin's only servant.
"Master … This … This is not good! What about Master Guevara? " Hogan seemed very surprised. Under Han Jin's insistence, Guevara had to use some of Stillberg's magic scrolls every day. How could he dare to fight with Guevara?
"It's fine. I can make quite a few scrolls a day now. It's enough to go around," Stillberg said with a smile.
Miriam's face was filled with pride. She had accepted Stillberg because Stillberg was only Han Jin's servant. His status was similar to hers, and he was also young. He was not as scary, cruel, capricious, and unpredictable as the big shots. But now that the two of them were together, which wife would not want her husband to become an indomitable figure?! Thus, Miriam had long since changed her mind. The more useful Stillberg was and the more valued he was, the prouder and happier she was.
"Master, I …" Hogan still did not dare to accept it.
"Go do what you need to do." Han Jin waved his hand. "Remember to rest more in the future. There are endless things to do. Don't work too hard."
Hogan was stunned. Han Jin had suddenly treated him so well today, which made him feel flattered. But the "surprise" was far greater than the former. He even forgot to thank Han Jin, and just left in a daze as Han Jin gestured.
"Stillberg, you must work hard in the future. Do you understand?" Han Jin said softly.
"Young Master, I have always worked hard!" Stillberg replied as he nodded vigorously.
"Harley can't stay here forever. He has to follow me." Han Jin paused. "When your strength has accumulated to a certain level, the God of War will be handed over to you."
"Wh … What?" Stillberg was even more shocked than Hogan, and he cried out in disbelief.
Miriam was also stunned. She had lived here for a long time, and she knew what the God of War meant. Could it be that Han Jin was going to let Stillberg be the captain of the God of War?! Miriam lost her composure, and her small hands even grabbed Han Jin's shoulders tightly, twisting his clothes into a ball. It was only when Han Jin patted her hands that she snapped out of her daze.
"Young Master, I … Can I do it?" Stillberg asked with difficulty.
"If I say you can do it, then you can," Han Jin replied calmly. "But you have to work hard. At least, you can't embarrass me."
"I … But I …"
"Alright, there's nothing to worry about. I can let Harley accompany you for a while. Once you are completely familiar with him, I will take him away." Han Jin smiled. "Regarding the wedding, I can only leave it to Guevara. I have to go out tomorrow. When I return, the preparations should be more or less complete."
"Young Master, I don't want to … I don't want to get married now," Stillberg stuttered.
"Why?" Han Jin was stunned.
Miriam's face turned pale, and she stared blankly at Stillberg.
"Young Master, you haven't … How could I …" The news just now had caused him to panic. Otherwise, he would have known the pain in Han Jin's heart, and he would not have touched it so easily.
Miriam's heart finally calmed down, but she was immediately filled with disappointment. In her panic, she could not care less and kicked Stillberg's calf.
Han Jin became silent. After all, an injury was an injury, and it would not change because of his growth. However, he did not feel any pain. He only felt that his heart was heavy and numb.
"Young Master, I didn't do it on purpose!" Stillberg said timidly. "I … I …"
"You don't have to care about my business." Han Jin smiled, then shook his head.
Just as Stillberg did not know what to say, Guevara's head popped out from the gangway and jumped onto the deck.
"You're here." Stillberg hurriedly changed the topic and greeted Guevara.
"Kid, what's wrong? You don't look too good. Did you get scolded? "Guevara laughed. Before his injury healed, Stillberg had always been taking care of him. If he had to find someone close to him, it would be Han Jin or Stillberg.
"No … No …" Stillberg stammered.
"We're talking about Stillberg's marriage." Han Jin smiled.
"Marriage? Great! " Guevara was overjoyed. He did not know why, but many elders liked to attend the weddings of the younger generation, and Guevara was one of them.
"I have to go out tomorrow, so I can only leave this matter to you," Han Jin said.
"No problem." Guevara looked at Stillberg and Miriam. He was really happy for the younger generation.
At that moment, the slave warriors on the ship carried large boxes from the side of the ship and placed them neatly on the deck.
"What is that?" Han Jin asked.
"What you need." Guevara smiled. "Dragon's blood!"
Han Jin stood up and walked over. He casually opened one of the boxes and saw dozens of glass bottles inside. Each bottle was filled with bright red blood. There were about a few hundred bottles in the boxes.
"So much?" Han Jin frowned slightly. "Can that dragon take it?" He did not want to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. He had this thought for a long time, but he did not have the strength to put it into action. Now that Dismark had given him a dragon for free, of course he would cherish it.
"Don't tell me you want to raise the dragon forever?" Guevara said softly. "That's impossible."
"Why?" Han Jin asked.
"Did you forget? The dragon has the same intelligence as us, or even more than us, "Guevara said slowly. Guevara said slowly, "Think about it from another angle. If you were captured and someone would come to bleed you every once in a while and treat you like an animal, what would you want to do the most?"
"Die."
"It's the same for the dragon," Guevara said. Guevara said, "This time, I purposely went over to observe for a while. That giant dragon's condition is not good. Moreover, we can't feed it at all. Although a giant dragon can live for a long time without eating or drinking, that's because it's sleeping. On the other hand, we constantly bleed it. How long do you think it can live?
"Of course." Han Jin was silent for a moment. "How long do you think it can live?"
"I think … it can still be used four or five times," Guevara said. "Then, we will have to harvest the magic crystals."
"Four or five times? That should be enough. "Han Jin nodded.
(This is too much of a joke … You can't fool people like this!! Yesterday, I finally managed to get a sister to watch the lights with me. While we were watching, someone called me and said that the group was arguing. He said that I updated it wrongly. At that time, he was using his phone to go online and could not see what was going on. He asked me to go back immediately. I did not believe him at that time because after I made the mistake, I was very careful and always checked it a few times before I sent it. But a few minutes later, another call came and said that I was wrong. At that time, I was really anxious. The place where we were watching the lights was cordoned off and traffic was not allowed. I ran all the way down the street and found a taxi to go home. When I got home, what did I do wrong?! Then, I called my sister to apologize. At that time, I was so anxious that I left her there. In the end, she did not pick up my call. This Lantern Festival is too depressing.)
