Chapter 109: Peak Spirit and the Decisive Opportunity
When Su Li mentioned these words with annoyance, he initially intended to shut the Beast Master's mouth.
However, upon hearing that it claimed to truly be able to provide a batch of advanced mounts, Su Li was instantly invigorated and asked, "Can you provide me a batch of advanced mounts?"
"Exactly!" The Beast Master arrogantly sprawled out its four limbs, sitting in the midst of the pasture, and said, "I have a very high affinity with the rams. If you can give me enough divine material, like a love potion, I can ensure your flock's offspring produce even more powerful combat rams."
"How about it? The breeding cycle of combat rams is much faster, within about five months you can have a new batch of combat ram lambs. Within a year or two, these combat rams can form a powerful cavalry for you. They are one of the most favored mounts among half-elves and dwarves."
Su Li asked nonchalantly, "All it takes is to give you enough divine material?"
The Beast Master, with some greed in its eyes, immediately said, "Yes, exactly. You just need to return the love potion to Reya's ceremonial site, that stone circle at the southeast corner of the pasture."
Su Li instantly understood; this Beast Master was coveting his love potion, yet this was something Su Li himself wanted!
Able to emit powerful charm, this was the ultimate enhancement of perfume. What man hasn't fantasized about exuding irresistible allure, causing women to lose their composure at the sight of him?
He had recently been getting quite close with the champion female knight Freya, but this female knight was uninterested in worldly power. She was a member of the Church Knight Order and was also very wealthy in her own right, so Su Li's lordship position barely affected her at all.
To win over this champion female knight depended entirely on personal charm.
Yet, this champion female knight was exceptionally proud, looking at most people as if they were trash.
Su Li wanted to win her over, easing the pressure on the female courtiers' evening training sessions, but this process was somewhat rocky and not going very smoothly.
A female knight devoted to cultivating and becoming stronger had little ripples in her heart. No matter how flamboyant a man behaved, flaunting like a peacock, she had no thoughts of lust.
This first hurdle already eliminated most men; without a sufficiently dazzling temperament, they couldn't even get into her vision. How could they proceed further?
Therefore, Su Li also greatly needed this love potion, at least to draw the attention of the champion female knight toward him, to interact further with her and gradually grow feelings over time.
"Forget about the love potion, but I can provide you plenty of divine material. Three days later, at high noon, will be the moment Tal's divine nature is at its peak, and the lush pastures will see Tal's wildness thrive. I will order the herdsmen to harvest more grass for you, ensuring your legacy and allowing all herds to be bathed in divine grace, striving for as much wildness to spread within and the reversion to ancestry to occur."
Having said that, Su Li spoke to Vandar and Lunadeshan simultaneously: "You must also prepare in this regard. Three days later is the peak of Tal's divine tide, at noon there will be a lot of divine nature in the pasture. As long as the livestock eat enough, the reversion to ancestry will certainly occur. Prepare yourselves."
Lunadeshan, eyes wide with amazement, she was Tal's maidservant, but even she could only vaguely sense the gradual strengthening of Tal's divinity, unable to pinpoint the exact moment of Tal's divine tide peak.
And yet Lord can predict the timing with such precision?
Vandar, on the other hand, had no doubt, having witnessed the Lord's prophecies many times, deeply believing that the Lord was the All-Knowing Informant of the Hesse Territory, the prophet and Venus of the entire territory.
Thus, he immediately said, "At that time, all the priests and nuns of our Dawn Church will come here to communicate with the herds, asking them to conserve energy in the morning and eat vigorously at noon to absorb Tal's wildness."
Even at the peak of Tal's divine tide, there isn't much of Tal's wildness in the pasture, making it a moment to win by quantity. Those livestock that eat a lot might gain more divine nature, triggering the reversion to ancestry.
Su Li further detailed his arrangements: "You should also prepare ahead, ensuring the herds are scattered so each group has a patch of lush grass to prevent them from clustering together and competing for resources."
"We will strive to prepare meticulously, aiming to gain more of Tal's divine grace at that moment."
Su Li's conversation with the two priests, as if no one else was present, made the Beast Master excessively anxious: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Human Lord, you can't be so autocratic! Don't you want to ask why I need this love potion? You're delaying something important for me!"
Su Li glanced at it, men—no, what purpose does a male have for wanting such a potion, isn't it obvious?
Don't be ruled by the beautiful name of a love potion.
In men's hearts, love might only occupy a corner! Power control, the clashing of swords and horses, the imperial path, which of these isn't more important than love? Those who love beauty and not power, throughout ages, are rare and often become a laughingstock in the eyes of other men.
After all, only with power can one protect beauty. To cherish beauty and not power often results in losing both the kingdom and the beauty.
It all boils down to a matter of control.
Therefore, in the hands of males, this love potion mostly serves as a means to control the opposite gender.
