Chapter 448: 447, Is the【Dragon Race Favor Potion】useful? _1
By five o’clock in the afternoon, the storm caused by Manina XIII had mostly subsided.
However, Su Yu’s mood was not so good.
From the forum debacle, there were quite a few people on Blue Star who were ready to surrender or who held illusions about the Skru people!
If Manina XIII realized this and gave these traitors and fence-sitters some benefits, or just verbal promises, these people would definitely be won over, making an already dire war situation worse.
“Sigh, I need to work even harder!” Su Yu lamented in his heart.
The enemies he would face in the future were not only the Skru people, but also enemies from within the human race. He would need to be careful not to capsize in the gutter.
…
Now that 1,000 [Washing Sea Cores] had been collected, Su Yu released the [Teleportation Array] to go to the novice village, preparing to deliver the four types of materials to Bernina Tide in advance.
In the novice village square, Su Yu explained his intentions to the [Village Chief]. The chief didn’t refuse him at all and brought him to his house where he met Bernina on the swing in the courtyard.
Today Bernina was not in her usual sheer outfit but wearing the one Tina had given her. Apart from her hair color, she looked nearly identical to Tina.
But Su Yu didn’t care about that at all, his mind was filled with thoughts about what to do next.
Bernina took the space ring from Su Yu, which was filled with four kinds of materials and the [Soul of Reincarnation]. After checking that everything was correct, she nodded in satisfaction.
She seemed to perceive Su Yu’s worries, and while half-lying on the swing, propped her head up and asked:
“Nemesis, do you have something on your mind? If there’s something you can’t resolve, you can tell me. I can provide some help within the limits of the game rules.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“Well then, the thing is…” Su Yu, viewing Bernina as one of his own, did not hold back anything and told her about the storm caused by Manina XIII.
Bernina swayed on the swing and patiently listened. When he was finished, she nodded and said, “I see.”
“I’ve interacted with Manina before. He’s smart and bright, but the issue is that he’s stubborn and prone to partiality… But that’s the common fault of all the Emperors of the Raging Sun, except for the founding Emperor.”
“Child…” Su Yu was speechless at Bernina’s words.
Which era exactly did Bernina come from? She was referring to the 65-year-old Manina as a child.
Also….
“How did you come into contact with the Emperor of the Raging Sun Empire? Can you enter the real world as well?” Su Yu asked.
“Hehe, I won’t tell you.” Bernina winked at him, mischievously like Tina.
Su Yu: “…”
“But on the other hand,” Bernina sat up from the swing, lightly tapping her chin with her finger. “At this moment, what you should do most is to advance by retreating.”
“Advance by retreating?” Su Yu was a little confused.
“Yes! Advance by retreating.” Bernina nodded seriously, “The thing that Manina has done is to disrupt your rear. Why don’t you just take the initiative to attack and disrupt his rear?”
“Disrupt his rear…” Su Yu looked as though he was deep in thought.
Could it be that she has noticed matters about his contact with the Beak Country rebel organization?
However, at this moment, Bernina left the swing and stood up, she walked over to Su Yu. She lightly sniffed his neck and said, “You have an enchanting smell. That’s an advantage you have, don’t forget to make use of it!”
“Enchanting smell?” Su Yu was even more baffled, what was she referring to?
“Let me give you a hint.” Bernina patted his cheek gently, whispering: “[Dragon Race Favor Potion].”
“This…”
Bernina’s words exploded like a thunderbolt in Su Yu’s mind.
The [Dragon Race Favor Potion] was a gift from Kevin Forsythia. It could be combined with the [Heart of Blue Dragon Scarti] to permanently win over the favor of the dragon race.
Su Yu had originally planned to go to Dragon Island to “abduct” a young, beautiful, and talented female dragon to serve as his steed. But that plan was shelved after he got Cat Morning Star.
It’s well known that the Skru Star has a Giant Dragon Clan! Could it be that the potion is also effective for the Giant Dragons of Skru Star?!
Noticing Su Yu’s surprised look, and without waiting for him to ask, Bernina calmly answered, “Of course the Dragon Clan of Skru Star is also applicable. The Dragon Clans across the universe are pretty much the same, there’s no such thing as ineffectiveness. This is your advantage, make sure you utilize it!”
“Thank you, Lady Bernina!” Su Yu happily gave her a mage’s bow. This was by far the best news he had received in a while!
Bernina yawned and then sat back on the swing.
At the same time, her eyelids drooped, indicating she was very sleepy: “Is there anything else?”
“Eh… I guess not.” Su Yu replied.
“Then that’s all for now.” Bernina waved her hand: “It might take me a while to turn that extra [Soul of Reincarnation] into a ring, but I’ll have my avatar deliver it to you when it’s ready.”
“Thank you, Lady Bernina!” Su Yu expressed his gratitude once again.
“You’re welcome. If you really want to thank me, then take good care of Tina.” Bernina lay down on the swing and closed her eyes, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
….
….
While Su Yu was meeting with Bernina, in a study room of the Royal Palace on the distant Skru Star, Manina XIII was meeting with his intelligence minister — Xi Weng.
“Xi Weng, how is the situation on Blue Star now?” Manina put down the book in his hands, looking at Xi Weng calmly.
“Your Majesty, the result has been very effective!” Xi Weng answered with a smile: “Most of the humans on Blue Star are now full of resentment, but dare not voice it. Public indignation has reached its peak!”
“Very good!” Manina nodded with satisfaction: “During this time, try to get in touch with some humans on Blue Star who want to surrender, give them some benefits and let them continue to stir trouble. I want Su Yu to know the cost of offending me!”
“I understand, Your Majesty.” Xi Weng responded with a bow.
If it had been earlier, Manina would have disdained doing something like buying over traitors.
After all, the disparity in strength between Skru Star and Blue Star was vast, and when the time for the general offense came, the royal army just had to charge in and annihilate the Blue Star humans.
The reason he was doing this now was because he couldn’t retaliate against Su Yu in the short term. Cultivating some traitors to annoy Su Yu was also quite good.
Xi Weng flattered him: “Your Majesty, your decisiveness is truly admirable! Your arrangement has completely disrupted Su Yu’s footing. Even if Chairman Cass was still alive, he wouldn’t be equal to you, right?”
“Cass? He was simply a proxy put forward by one of the large families in the country. How can that fool compare with me?” Manina’s words were full of disdain: “I’ll let Su Yu know that assassinating Cass and letting a smarter man like me take the throne was the most foolish decision he’s ever made in his life!”
