Chapter 2734: Chapter 1177: Humans’ Harmony Ability

"Now that you mention it, I understand what to do. Simply stash the money with that Blue Dragon, and when the day comes to slaughter her, it will definitely be enough for us to live on for ten years." Zalanda fully grasped Gaven’s intention.

"Ten years? More like a hundred, without a doubt," Gaven couldn’t help but joke, "If there was a wealth ranking of Giant Dragons on the Felen Continent, she’d definitely be at the top. Not only has she collected most of the Shoon Dynasty’s treasures.

In the past thousand years, she hasn’t been idle. Who knows how much treasure she has amassed from the rulers of Amu, Thacel, and Karinshan."

"A Dragon’s Nest accumulated over a thousand years!" Even though Zalanda wasn’t particularly sensitive to wealth, at this moment, she had a gleam in her eyes, "Even if she receives a tribute of one hundred thousand Gold Coins a year, that’s a billion. Not just that number!"

Towards the end, Zalanda felt a bit discouraged, saying, "Trying to steal Shoon’s scepter from her is likely not an easy task. She’ll definitely carry it with her, hidden away, not giving anyone the chance to get close."

"I have some ideas on this matter, but it requires a bit of preparation." Gaven planned to utilize the time information gap.

Seven years later, her daughter Blue Claw will escape from the Earth Vein Mysterious City beneath Waterdeep City—she was imprisoned as an experimental subject by the Mad Mage Helast.

Afraid of being captured again by the Mad Mage, after escaping, Blue Claw will seek protection from her mother Sharptooth.

Of course, familial ties between Giant Dragons are extremely thin, especially between adult Giant Dragons and their parents, often leading to conflicts over treasure ownership.

But if that child brings immense wealth, that’s another story altogether.

For this reason, Blue Claw did not hesitate to fight an Ancient Red Dragon, offering its treasure to her mother.

For Sharptooth, it was an unexpected situation.

There’s a lot to be said here, such as preemptively controlling her daughter to infiltrate their ranks.

Or having Gaven use his high-level Hyper-state Change ability to transform into her daughter Blue Claw.

All this hinges on capturing her daughter Blue Claw after her escape.

"Then this task is yours," Zalanda didn’t ask further, knowing Gaven’s character.

If it was convenient for him to speak, he’d have said it already, no need for her to ask further.

If it wasn’t convenient for him to speak, her questioning would only force him to respond evasively or lie.

He was no longer the person he was three years ago; he was burdened with too many things now.

"Shoon VII shouldn’t be underestimated either. His revenge plan began a thousand years ago, reportedly preparing a large amount of secret treasure, buried throughout the Shoon Dynasty."

"Regarding magic, perhaps ancient times have peculiarities compared to modern times, but when it comes to wealth, ancient isn’t necessarily stronger than the present!" Zalanda said with a smile, "In this regard, I have more confidence in you."

Gaven’s recent planning involved both immediate and long-term gains.

The Earth Stone continuously exudes gold every day, and the apple tree seedlings being cultivated across the mountain will bloom and bear fruit in two to three years, adding a pillar industry to the Thacel Kingdom.

No matter how much treasure Shoon VII buried, it would still have a finite limit.

Gaven’s industrial layout is limitless, constantly appreciating over time.

"Indeed." Gaven couldn’t help but laugh, then added, "Although the Unicorn Holy Contract sealed Shoon VII for nearly a thousand years, it also allowed him to transform his soul.

Giving him unique abilities different from ordinary liches, reportedly he can possess multiple bodies, and instead of using Negative Energy, he’s using Positive Energy..."

"A lich using Positive Energy? Is that still a lich?" Zalanda asked in amazement.

Undead using Negative Energy is considered common knowledge.

Liches, as pinnacle undead, are even more so.

"Whether he’s transformed his dependency nature, or forcibly mimicking through the Unicorn Holy Contract, it’s unclear, but one thing’s certain: his soul possession no longer erodes bodies, giving him strong disguise capability."

Many of Gaven’s temporal intelligence were indirect, as he never had the chance to confront Shoon VII directly in his past life, even at his peak state. Whether facing Ancient Blue Dragons or Demigod Liches, they remained beyond his reach.

Zalanda’s face changed drastically, "Doesn’t this mean he can disguise as anyone around us?"

"Theoretically, yes. This is difficult to defend against and detect, which makes Shoon VII the most terrifying at this moment; the situation has completely reversed with him in the shadows and Sharptooth out in the open." Gaven realized the gravity of the situation.

Zalanda said solemnly, "Although Shoon VII’s primary target is now Sharptooth, he is still Shoon Dynasty’s Emperor, surely believing he holds ruling rights over its original lands, including Thacel, which rightfully should serve him.

As we continue to grow stronger, more organizations will covet us, stronger and more relentless. They will resort to every means to infiltrate, including using soul-related spells for possession and manipulation.

We must adopt effective measures to prevent core members from being manipulated.
