Chapter 47: Fire Dao
The King remained quiet, trying to control his countenance.
He tried his best to resist the shame from creeping up on him.
The Crown Prince, on the other hand, was not able to hold himself from feeling embarrassed.
He scratched his cheeks and glanced at Liu Wei, who was also staring at him with a smile on his face.
Liu Wei was not surprised by their reaction.
After all, he was a good cook.
He felt smug.
I guess I'm a better cook than the imperial chiefs…
"Liu Wei." The Crown Prince cleared his throat. "That food was amazing. The quality of the foods, too.
My father is asking if we may have some of those.
Of course, there will be a price, just state it."
Liu Wei was taken aback.
He was a bit dissatisfied.
It seems that it's just my food. Still, he complimented my cooking.
He said, "I'm afraid that they are not as abundant as you think. In the future, if I harvest more, I won't hesitate to give it to you… of course, at a price.
After all, I need something more than you."
He meaningfully glanced at his clothes, for them to realize they were ordinary.
The Crown Prince chuckled and said, "I know you also don't have any armor. We can provide you that in exchange for food in the future, alongside high-quality clothes.
After all, as we are already aware that Miss Duan Li is a great artisan, even providing you with her greatest treasure, she is only limited on the swords.
We might not be able to contend with her in terms of the quality of the armor we can provide, we will definitely call the best artisan we can't have."
Liu Wei smiled and nodded.
"If that is the case, then I will prepare the food. I will visit the palace next time if I need more discussion about this."
The Crown Prince smiled.
He said, "As expected of you. Of course, as you already have an idea, we did not come here for the food… well, if we knew, we might have been, too.
Nevertheless, as you have anticipated, we came here as my father wanted to borrow a book from you."
The Crown Prince turned towards his father and the latter smiled and suddenly waved his hand at the table.
Out of nowhere, the ring on his middle finger shone.
Two objects then appeared out of it and landed on the table safely.
Liu Wei's eyes widened.
Was that a Space Ring?
Liu Wei heard of it from the fictional books he read in his past life.
Hence, his heart raced when he saw a real one up close.
The Crown Prince caught his reaction and said, "A Space Ring is a Mystic Treasure rank artifact. Hence, it is extremely rare even in the Mortal World. After all, it requires an inscription expert to work with an artisan to craft it.
Even in our kingdom, we only have two of them.
I can give mine to you, Liu Wei.
Of course, I will have to ask you for something in exchange."
Liu Wei glanced at him and felt conflicted.
In the end, he nodded and said, "We will discuss it in the future. What's inside those two boxes?"
Of course, he already had an idea or two of what was inside the two boxes.
As he had already discussed with the Crown Prince before, even a dimwit like him, had an idea or two of the contents.
The Crown Prince chuckled and said, "It seems that the High-Grade Spirit Stones are more valuable than the Space Ring to you, Liu Wei."
Liu Wei's eyes widened.
They sparkled.
It was not surprising.
After all, he just heard that the contents of the boxes were High-Grade Spirit Stones.
Two High-Grade Spirit Stones!
He mumbled.
"Holy shit!"
The Crown Prince giggled and the King could not help but smile as well.
However, the king's smile changed when he glanced at the two boxes.
It turned into a bitter smile.
After all, the two High-Grade Spirit Stones were used to maintain the Blazing Wall Array.
It was the main defense of the capital city of the kingdom.
It guarded the kingdom for a millenium.
He closed his eyes and tried to convince himself.
This is for the family's future. To finally break the curse that has been tying on our family ever since the kingdom was built.
As Liu Wei's heart was pounding in shock, the System's voice echoed in his head.
[Mission Initiated: The King as the Eight Customer to Save You from Debt!
Mission Description: Go to the Dao Section and find the Elemental Dao area, especially in the Fire Dao part. The book will then appear in your hand. Once you hand it to the King, you might be cleared from your debt and will have more System Points.]
Liu Wei perceived the enthusiasm of the System's tone.
Even then, he felt like there was sarcasm.
[You are overreacting. Is this the result of being drowned in debt?]
Liu Wei rolled his eyes and replied in his mind.
'It's the result of always talking in sarcasm.'
Liu Wei then did not bother with the System anymore and turned towards the King.
He smiled and said, "Since it's a High-Grade Spirit Stone, I assume you want the same quality of the books as the Crown Prince, right?"
The King nodded and said, "If better, it should be in the Fire Dao. Can I state my condition? I mean, the kind of Fire Dao I am looking for?"
Liu Wei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the library knows what you are looking for. In fact, I already know that you are asking for a Major Completion Stage of Fire Dao's book."
The King was dumbfounded.
His mind turned blank, not knowing what to say.
The Crown Prince was startled, too.
He did not expect it.
After all, the sword knew his desire.
Hence, he asked for a Sword Dao.
As they were still trying to process what Liu Wei had just said, Liu Wei already stood up and disappeared into the library section.
