Chapter 514 - The War Had Begun

Two peaceful days had pa.s.sed. During those two days, many significant events occurred in the capital.

First, there was the potion craze caused by the Abedor family. The Abedor family had developed a platinum-tier Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion. It had sold like hotcakes, causing many platinum-tier angels to appear in the capital.

Secondly, the Abedor family also released three different platinum-tier potions. They were the Super Strength potion, the Super Speed potion, and the Super Defense potion, which had also caused a sensation.

There had not been a single platinum-tier potion in the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the past. Then, there were several such potions in succession, indicating that the kingdom had made a significant breakthrough in the field of potions.

Secondly, the Holy Dragon Tavern had launched a wine called the angel wine. The ingredient for the wine was the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion. It tasted excellent, and it could also increase one's lifespan. That led to a sharp increase in the number of people who went to the tavern to drink.

The last significant event there was related to the royal family. After King Landhar III announced that Watson would be the next king, he also announced the reestablishment of the former Queen Avril as the Queen. He also made Avril the Holy See's Saintess. The seven G.o.ds had fallen. There was only one sect in the kingdom, and it was called the Guardian Sect with Watson as their G.o.d.

Watson was also called the Guardian G.o.d by the believers, which meant that he was the Holy Dragon Kingdom's guardian.

The few significant events in the capital had become everyone's main topic of conversation.

At that moment, in a tavern, a few people were drinking wine and sizing up a bottle of angel wine in front of them.

"This angel wine is too delicious. If it didn't cost 10,000 gold coins per bottle, I would buy a few more bottles."

"Just think about it. For minor n.o.blemen like us, even if we pooled our money to buy one bottle, it would still be too expensive. Buying a few bottles would be too extravagant."

"By the way, that wine is even more delicious than the sun fruit wine and moon fruit wine. After drinking it, my strength increased, and I even felt like I was a few years younger. I have to say that the person who developed this wine is really a genius. Using a platinum-tier potion to brew wine is really an ingenious idea."

A few n.o.bles were discussing it among themselves. At that moment, the door was pushed open. An old man dressed in luxurious clothes walked into the tavern. The moment he entered, he attracted the attention of many people. That was because that old man was dressed luxuriously, and he had six pure white wings on his back and an angel halo on his head. His entire body was exuding a holy light. A powerful platinum-tier aura surrounded his body.

"Bring me ten bottles of angel wine. I heard that there is an event in the tavern—if I buy ten bottles of angel wine, I will get a platinum-tier weapon for free. I wonder if that's true."

"It's true. Sir, please come in. Our tavern is currently working with the blacksmith to launch an event for alcohol and weapons. Please pick a weapon you like."

The old man walked into the tavern.

"That person must be a duke. I heard that he spent ten million gold coins buying a Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion two days ago." One of the n.o.blemen had spoken enviously. "He's already a platinum-tier elite."

"How enviable! He only needs to spend ten million gold coins to become a platinum-tier elite. That is something that I did not even dare to think about before this! It's a pity that our family's entire estate only adds up to one million gold coins. We can only enjoy the angel wine," another person said.

"There's no rush. In just a few short days, the capital has undergone such great changes. There might even be something better than the angel wine in the future. Being able to live in this era is truly a fortunate thing. Praise the seven G.o.ds."

"Praise the seven G.o.ds? Don't you know that the seven G.o.ds have already abandoned us? There's only one church in the kingdom now, and they believe in the Guardian G.o.d, Watson. We should praise Watson."

"Oh, yes, we should praise Watson. I heard that Watson provided the formula to the Abedor family's potion. Watson did a great job for the kingdom. No wonder His Majesty abandoned the three princes and made him the next king instead. Let's toast to a better tomorrow!"

A few n.o.blemen raised their wine gla.s.ses and began to drink.

Similar things happened in various corners of the kingdom and a particular potion shop not far from the tavern.

Many precious potions were hanging in the shop's door, flickering with platinum light.

"The shop has a new batch of potions produced by the Abedor family. Apart from the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons, there are three different platinum-tier medicines. Each one is worth one million gold coins. The quant.i.ty is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis."

At the entrance to the potion shop, a staff member was inviting customers into the shop. The pa.s.sersby were not even frightened by the extremely high prices. Instead, they looked interested.

There were two weapons shops next to the potion shop. Similarly, people were standing outside shouting, "The shop has launched an event in various taverns in the capital. As long as you buy a platinum-tier weapon, you will be able to get a free bottle of sun fruit wine or moon fruit wine."

The streets were bustling with activity. There were many pedestrians, and the sounds of shopping and laughter could be heard.

On both sides of the street, there were people dressed in the Holy See's formal robe, holding ancient books in their hands. They were preaching to pa.s.sersby to believe in the Guardian G.o.d and how Watson would bestow them with courage and blessings. Their actions also attracted many people.

Watson was walking down the street and looking around with a smile on his face. He deliberately used magic to hide his figure. Otherwise, if pa.s.sersby recognized him, it would definitely cause a sensation.

"I can't believe that the capital has transformed into this in just two days. If it continues to develop like this, the Holy Dragon Kingdom will transform into another scene in a few years."

There had been a fault in the history of human development; the power of human society was far inferior to that of ancient times. However, the scene in front of him was not far behind the third era, and it was also why Watson had the human chess piece.

"Yes, and it's all thanks to you, Watson. At first, it was Mount Creation, and now it is the entire kingdom. I believe that the whole world will become a better place in no time."

A voice of agreement came from Watson's side. It was Nightingale, who was dressed in black. She seemed emotional as she looked around.

"It hasn't been easy. After all, there are four other kingdoms in the world besides the Holy Dragon Kingdom. If we want to spread the influence to other kingdoms, we have to unify these regions first." Watson shook his head. He said, "Nightingale, you said you have important information. What is it? You can tell me now."

Nightingale looked like she still wanted to wander around. After hearing Watson's words, she suppressed her reluctance. With a serious expression, she said, "I've found an important piece of information. This morning, an elven army appeared in the south of the kingdom and launched an attack. In just half a day, we've lost the southernmost fortress."
