“…but I’m not interested in your chest hair!”
“Hurry up, aren’t we going to drink?”
“Lead the way!”
Matthew and Claire looked at each other and smiled.
“Compared to before, Camela seems to have become more humane…”
he said offhandedly.
Claire nodded in agreement:
“When we first met, Lady Camela was quite indifferent towards everyone, but now she seems to have changed.”
“It’s as if…”
“there is a complete personality that is slowly, strongly awakening within her.”
Matthew said thoughtfully:
“I’m just afraid there’s not only one.”
With that,
he glanced at the data column.
…
「Tip (Giza Knowledge): You have noticed the abnormal changes in Camela, within her body, multiple souls are awakening in succession, and there seems to be a possibility of contention for dominion of this vessel.
Currently, Camela can still suppress and enslave those souls with special divine power.
Meanwhile, Camela seems to also be able to extract the unique abilities of those souls from their previous lives for her own use…」
…
Without the knowledge provided by Giza,
Matthew would not have noticed the changes in Camela.
“Perhaps, her search for the ancient air is just to suppress the souls that are awakening within her…”
Matthew mused absently.
…
Since there were still some matters to prepare,
the departure time for the Purgatory Trip was set for two days later in the evening.
Matthew notified Richard while trying to get in touch with Sener—
If Sener wasn’t available,
he would have to find a few more thieves who could fly.
It was during this process
that Matthew received a reply from the Mother of Black Dragons.
In the letter, Audacia told Matthew that she had fully taken control of the situation in the Thorny Flower Sword Kingdom, with all the powers within declaring their fealty to her.
If Matthew needed anything,
the Thorny Flower Sword would mobilize its full territory.
The bad news was,
after Audacia returned to the Thorny Flower Sword territory, she could not find the entrance to the Rootless River Secret Realm that she had mistakenly entered before.
She suspected that it was because the Thorny Flower Sword had merged with Aindor.
In her letter, she stated that she would continue to search and would notify Matthew immediately if there was news.
In addition to that letter,
Audacia also took the opportunity to contribute a large amount of treasures and resources to Matthew as a gesture of loyalty.
This included a large amount of gold and silver gems, precious magic potions, and special products of the Thorny Flower Sword.
Matthew estimated,
the resources Audacia sent over, split across sixteen storage rings, were worth nearly a million.
This showed the wealth of the Thorny Flower Sword.
Among these tributes, the most important few were as follows—
First was a half-withered Plane Core.
This thing was a priceless treasure!
It was a Mystical Item that had been peeled away from the core of the Thorny Flower Sword, a Secondary Plane after merging with the material world.
Generally speaking,
such a core is prone to collapse or destruction when peeled away.
But the Plane Core that Matthew had was intact.
The half-withered state was simply due to the lack of nourishment from a plane.
It was unknown how Audacia managed that.
Plane Core is essentially a Super Enhanced version of Heart of Domain, or roughly equivalent to a plane’s divine persona.
According to what Matthew knew,
this thing could be used to stabilize a Secondary Plane.
Of course, it can also be used on a Demiplane or even a domain, but that would be somewhat an overkill.
Similarly, it can be used to forge a powerful divine artefact, or as an anchor for a world.
At the very least, cut into pieces, each fragment could be used as a powerful reserve of energy.
In short, it had a wide range of uses.
And it was the thing Matthew valued the most in this batch of tributes.
Next was a pair of divine artefacts called Aspect Boots.
With these shoes on,
you could easily perform the Legendary Mysterious Step, Lightning Stone, or even Time-Space Travel, incredible abilities.
Although the Time-Space Travel provided by the Aspect Boots could only span sixteen seconds at most, and there were strict limits on the range of the area traveled, they were extremely powerful in combat.
The Attributes of the Aspect Boots were incredibly powerful,
but for the average person, they had a fatal flaw—
that was, only the power of the phase could drive them.
Audacia had intended the boots as an extra gift to Matthew,
after all, a divine artefact, even if it wasn’t useful, was still presentable.
But as it turned out, Matthew had absorbed a lot of power of the phase.
He could make the most out of the performance of these divine artefacts!
Therefore, in his eyes, these boots scored immensely, second only to the Plane Core in value.
Then came a document and a lot of land deeds.
The document was signed by the city lords of the eighteen largest cities in the Thorny Flower Sword Kingdom,
essentially an edict of fealty.
The land deeds were the sum of all the land owned by Audacia herself.
These items were just pieces of paper in the hands of the weak,
but they meant something different with Matthew.
Through the Mother of Black Dragons,
he indirectly controlled the whole territory of the Thorny Flower Sword.
This could be a kingdom far larger than the Rolling Stone Kingdom with no less potential.
“Managing a kingdom, after all, should be left to a true ambitious person, they’re more professional.”
“I should focus on working behind the scenes…”
Matthew was quite satisfied with this outcome.
Audacia was truly talented,
she hadn’t disappointed him at least.
At that moment,
the soul of Troll Princess Ruiqi suddenly ran out from the Yeager Blade.
She boasted to Matthew:
“I told you, as long as she signed the Kunlan Blood Book, she would obey your every command.”
