Chapter 452 - Wine Is Too Good
The wine business is going in a full swing actually. But it did attract the competition to hold some grudges against them, but they didn't care. There are not tons of Nascent stage cultivators in the empire to come and mess with them.
Much less a Nascent who wants to do wine business.
The workers of the mines and even the officials are extremely happy with this wine tavern. The whole thing is extremely hyped up and the officials who are in love with the most expensive wine in the tavern are coming every day within a week.
They became regulars in one week.
And the shadow mice are doing their work extremely well. One week is almost enough to mark all the officials. Philip didn't understand what she was doing.
He doesn't know what Sam gave to her and what she has planned. But she seemed to have been collecting the information on the officials and the nobility and even after the list is made, she is only marking some of them.
He didn't disturb her and just let it be.
After another three days, after closing the service for that night, Sirona and Philip are talking in the tavern.
"We are moving out tonight."
She said all of a sudden. Philip who is eating halted and said. "Why?"
"This is the plan, we are not staying in any city for more than ten days. We wouldn't stay in any place. We are going to cover all the cities."
"Are you sure? The information we got from here is enough in just ten days?"
"I am not gaining new information, rather I am just comparing the information I have in my mind. You will understand in a few days."
The next day, when the regulars came back, there is nothing in the tavern and it is completely desolate. The empty room felt extremely cold.
One of the tables was engraved with some words.
'I want to let my master's wine known throughout the empire. So, I am moving on with a journey.'
When they saw this, they didn't know how to react. But they still went back to the work after cursing them.
In the next city, the wine tavern appeared, and once again the wine was extremely popular. But in the first city, the officials who entered the tavern are the ones who didn't have much reaction initially. But as days passed, they started talking about the wine too much and since they couldn't get it, they are drinking their local wine like crazy.
They are barely sober for the next two days. Even that was okay. But the situation turned to worse when they couldn't get the same feeling with this wine and wanted to get this. They ordered their subordinates to search for the wine tavern and in which city they are located.
When the subordinates did get the address and tried to buy the wine, they were completely rejected. Because they were told that the tavern has a rule and that is they are not going to let you take away the wine.
This is like a bomb and the official wanted to threaten them, but he is a grand realm cultivator, what can he do?
The situation is the same with a bunch of other officials but not all of them. Every official in the city drank the wine at least once, only one-third of them turned out like this. Nobody knew why are they so obsessed with this wine.
The situation is something no one could comprehend but was bound to repeat itself.
Meanwhile, in Sam's city.
Sam just came out of the divine dimension. He has been busy since the new plans started their execution.
He is extremely busy since then because he has to make many of the things for himself. Particularly the research process.
At this moment, he took out the gourd and started drinking the wine from it. No matter, how Sam prided over his wine recipe, he couldn't think of a better wine than the one he is drinking.
As soon as he took a couple of sips, his exhaustion was gone and he once again looked energized.
This is the wine the Monkey King gave him.
This wine is truly miraculous. It not only heals the body but also reduces fatigue and exhaustion. A person would be brand new after a couple of sips and the best part is, the wine is almost limitless.
That's right, the wine almost unlimited and Sam couldn't finish it for the next two decades even if he drank it 24x7.
The gourd happened to be a type of storage device.
Sam is really shocked by this. This alone is worth his trip.
As for the techniques such as the replica of the Golden gaze fiery eyes and the five strands of hair, he didn't want to use them at this moment.
He has to deal with this shit show for now. Anyway, his individual prowess will have little impact on the war as he is using the collective might.
Currently, at this moment he is researching something for naval warfare. Naval warfare was always something that turned easily chaotic.
The main reason being, there is no landmass and they have only boats to stay onboard. The boats will be easily destroyed and they have some nasty dog fights in the water.
The losses are always too huge for both sides and the beasts of the sea are not there just for shore. With this much commotion, many species will run away for sure, but some daring beasts will come and have a feast of their lives with the meat of the cultivators.
So, Sam has to find a better way to move in the sea and the movement should be both in the form of group movement of a vehicle and also the individual movement of the people.
They have to have enough flexibility to completely conquer the Naval battle. Not only that, they have to win against a larger army with their deficiency in numbers.
For that Sam is seriously researching a ship and a new puppet. This time, the puppet is extremely different and he is trying to create something inspired by some fantasy movie back on his earth.
Even though the full capability of that fantasy movie wouldn't be achieved, and he didn't desire that he is trying his best on this one.
All he wanted to do was to let this puppet aid these people to move easier in the water and maybe support them in attacks.
He is in continuous research.
The training of the students is going as well.
Days passed with the situation still like this and that month was finally over.
Sam wanted to make the next move another fifteen days later. There are only six months left in this year. This means, there is only two and a half years' time for the next palace of inheritance and he has to find a way to get the remaining four boxes before that.
By this time, the construction of the twenty towers in the Adrian empire is almost done.
The journey for that is not exactly smooth sailing, rather they did encounter some difficulties and one of them is the artisan tower. They fell under the association's radar after their continuous movement.
At first, they are ignored because of the Parks which are being reconstructed, but by the end of this month the construction was in its final stages and recently they sent some architecture artisans to get these architects to join the association and find their identities.
But all their efforts only gave them negative results, but they didn't make any big moves, because they are already involved in a big project.
So, currently, the construction is almost done and the communication between Sam's subordinates will be established.
In the Arsin, three cities were covered. Sirona and Philip are moving to their fourth city.
All the cities they visited have only had low-level cultivation than them, so the officials couldn't do anything.
When they reached the fourth city and started their business, they finally saw the results they wanted to see.
The official who became a regular in the first city came to the tavern in this city. His eyes are dark and his body seemed to be under tremendous stress.
No one would think that this guy is a person who is an official. He calmed down only after he drank the wine.
All of a sudden, he suddenly got an idea and approached Philip.
"Brother, I would like to improve your sales. Since you want to make this wine throughout the empire, we would like to assist as I am a lover of your wine. I can help you get the connections needed."
But Philip just rejected him. This is not the plan. At least this phase is too early. There is a reason why only some officials became like this, so they shouldn't make such a deal at this moment.
But soon, their plan will take form and they would be able to take the next step.
