The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 266 Business Travel Life 3

"Little Jiu!" Blue greeted Cheng Jiu from afar. As he approached Cheng Jiu, he saw the two young men in front of him and gave a slight aristocratic bow: "Good day, gentlemen!"

"Good day!"

Upon seeing Bru, the two men dared not stop Cheng Jiu any longer.

"I'm sorry, I must now leave with my team member. As for the matter of the teacher, I believe you two gentlemen have better options!"

After thinking for a moment, Bru explained and then left with Cheng Jiu.

Upon hearing Bru's words, some people were stunned for a moment, and then felt a sense of shame and embarrassment. So, they had been rejected?

As Bru walked away, he explained to Cheng Jiu that nobles like the Earl of Teshbmir must frequently appear before the Queen in order to ensure the family's honor.

Unfortunately, the current Earl is not very talented. He was previously placed in the Royal Guard by his father, but he has withdrawn from the Royal Guard since inheriting the title.

His children, however, were not particularly talented enough to meet the Royal Guard's recruitment standards, nor did they have their father's ability to get them in.

Those two were the next generation that this count family pinned their hopes on, but they were far from meeting the recruitment standards, so they wanted to find a powerful teacher for them. Ordinary strongmen were not nobles, so they looked down on them, and even strongmen from noble families were not good enough for them.

Therefore, nobles who were engaged in mercenary caravans became the other party's first choice.

However, as you can see from Bru and Butto, it's very difficult, because the other party can hardly offer a higher price than engaging in mercenary caravans.

Therefore, no matter how much Allah negotiated or what preferential terms he offered, he could not sway the father and son.

"What are the standards for the Royal Guard?"

Cheng Jiu was curious, because in her eyes the two brothers were quite talented. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, with a third-level cultivation, they could be considered geniuses.

"Under fifty years old, fourth-level cultivation! Those two are already over forty this year. If they don't break through to the fourth level soon, they'll be too old."

"Over forty!" Cheng Jiu's voice cracked slightly. No, is it like the cultivation world here, where you can't tell someone's age?

Blue gave Cheng Jiu a strange look, then pointed to himself: "Nobles are mostly dwarfs, not surprising!"

Cheng Jiu calmed down and couldn't help but curse herself inwardly. How could she judge someone's age based on their height? But she couldn't be blamed.

Those two guys didn't seem at all; they acted quite childish to outsiders, like they were just immature kids.

Leaving the manor, the caravan continued its arduous journey, passing by the ancestral home where Lady Snow had been imprisoned.

The other party's life was completely different from what was rumored; their ancestral home was very large and located in the suburbs of a bustling city.

In terms of environment alone, it is even better than the Earl of Tishbumir's residence.

Moreover, she is the only proper owner of the castle, and she has absolute control over the ancestral home. Although it is a tropical climate, the ancestral home is covered in heavy snow all year round.

This is an environment that the Snow Tribe greatly appreciates, and it is impossible to maintain such an environment without Kashi.

Moreover, this lady did not display the arrogance of a noblewoman; instead, she received everyone in the caravan with great hospitality.

Cheng Jiu thought that anyone who had ever met this lady would know how much shady stuff was involved in the rumors circulating outside.

She possesses unparalleled beauty, a gentle personality, an ethereal气质, and a unique, diamond-like inner strength.

Anyone who sees this lady will feel a sense of goodwill towards her. There may have been some hidden story behind the death of that count, but there was absolutely no illicit relationship between this lady and her stepson.

Because the character and integrity this lady has displayed cannot be desecrated.

Leaving the manor, the gossip he had been following had come to a close, and Cheng Jiu was quite satisfied.

The caravan continued its journey, encountering villages, clearing out wild beasts, and trading in cities, never lingering in any one place.

The closer you get to the royal city, the more you can see the unique features of Snekro. Magnificent dwarf workshops stand in the wilderness, and compared to these dwarf workshops, the enchanting shops that come from the border are just small workshops.

These dwarf workshops were mostly businesses sponsored by the royal family, and the weapons they forged, except for some that circulated in the market, were all supplied to the army.

The armor and weapons worn by the knights that Cheng Jiu and his group had seen before were all provided by these dwarf workshops.

Although gem enchanters hold a very high status throughout the continent, these dwarven workshops are the foundation of the empire.

Only high-quality weapons can withstand the effects of enchanting. Enchanting is merely icing on the cake; a superior weapon is everything.

The dwarves possess the best forging technology on the entire continent. The reason why the Kingdom of Sneklo has been able to stand strong among the nations is because it is a kingdom established and supported by the dwarves!

Of course, the entire Kingdom of Snakelo is extremely rich in mineral resources, ranking first on the continent.

Buto had a past relationship with the head of a dwarf workshop and specially asked him to tailor-make a weapon for Cheng Jiu.

It is a finger ring that can be worn as a regular ring. When you want to use it, you can simply activate it with your mind, and the ring will change at will.

Long spears, longbows, and even armor covering the body are all acceptable.

Initially, the dwarf master intended to forge a sword for Cheng Jiu according to her habits, but Cheng Jiu refused. She already had her natal sword, the Heavenly Wood Sword, and did not want a second one.

Despite being rejected and cursing, the master still designed the weapon for Cheng Jiu according to his request.

It is said that in order to achieve the effect of being able to transform at will as Cheng Jiu described, this master also added a semi-fluid substance called Silver Heart.

Only then can a ring be crafted that can transform into various weapons.

Moreover, the silver cores added are of high quality, ensuring that the resulting weapons are highly reliable in terms of both defense and durability.

When the finished product was completed, even the master craftsman was captivated.

According to the other party, this weapon is the pinnacle of his life's work.

The ring was handed to Cheng Jiu, and the person repeatedly instructed Cheng Jiu to treat it well.

Of course, the price is also quite high, costing millions of kilos.

Cheng Jiu was originally very interested in silver and wanted to purchase some from the other party.

He was instantly terrified and changed his mind. A million khasikins! Even selling her wouldn't earn him that much!

I can't afford it, I can't even afford a little bit.

Fortunately, Bhutto stepped forward to pay for it, otherwise Cheng Jiu would have really had to harden his heart and refuse.

I've never felt so poor before!

"Thank you, Captain!" Cheng Jiu said sincerely.

Although the old man had a bad temper and his items were expensive, it was undeniable that his forging skills were extremely strong.

Even in the world of cultivation, this ring would be considered a divine artifact!

Moreover, according to this master craftsman, even without enchantment, this ring can be upgraded as the contractor's strength increases.

A powerful tool for growth.

Cheng Jiu couldn't believe her ears. She had never heard of such a divine artifact in the cultivation world.

When she first saw the gem enchantment, she assumed that the level of weapon crafting here was lower than that of the cultivation world.

After all, weapon quality seems to be entirely boosted by enchantment gems.

But now, with absolute power, her conjecture has been shattered.

The level of weapon crafting in this world is definitely higher than that in the cultivation world in some aspects.

Cheng Jiu suddenly recalled the gossip about the queen and the trial participant that Bru had told her.

I originally thought that the national treasure was coveted because of the gem enchantment on it.

But now, that artifact itself is probably already quite extraordinary!

With the divine artifact and top-tier gem enchantments, Cheng Jiu couldn't even imagine how powerful this national treasure would be.

Cheng Jiu's heart sank a little as he considered the upcoming trip to the royal city.

In any case, caution is paramount, and survival is the top priority!

Completing the mission was secondary; everything she gained here had already more than made up for the return trip.
