Chapter 82
Xie Juanhan carefully sensed the presence of the vengeful spirits but could no longer detect them.
Just to be on the safe side, he didn't stop, but recited the incantation for deliverance twice more, until he had finished reciting a whole chapter before stopping.
The Elf had already flown out of Telingewei's arms, looking at Xie Juanhan in amazement. "Chirp chirp!"
Even low-level magical creatures like flying squirrels tried to get close to Xie Juanhan.
Xie Juanhan turned his head and saw this scene, and couldn't help but smile.
He never expected that the spell from his hometown would still be so effective in this world.
"Alright," Xie Juanhan said, "There shouldn't be any more vengeful spirits."
The Pixie all chirped, "Chirp chirp!"
Xie Juanhan: "Yes, you can come out to bask in the moonlight and look at the stars at night."
The Pixie exclaimed with delight, "Chirp!"
Looking at the adorable Pixie, Xie Juanhan was reminded of Harper and the others.
They've been out for several days and need to hurry up and finish their business before heading back.
Xie Juanhan wanted to tell Telingewei to leave.
Just then, the Pixie who had been leading the way pointed to the wine on the shelf. "Chirp."
Xie Juanhan stopped in his tracks. "Is the wine wrong?"
The other Pixie, hearing this, also looked at the wine on the shelf and chirped.
Xie Juanhan became wary again. "Something's wrong with the wine on the shelf. Let me take a look."
Telingewei stepped forward. "I'll go."
Telingewei stood in front of the wine rack and opened a jar of wine.
As soon as the bottle was opened, a rich aroma mixed with the scent of vengeful spirits wafted out.
Xie Juanhan had never smelled such a scent before; it was both fragrant and pungent, and he was completely stunned.
"The vengeful spirit has been exorcised, but its aura remains?"
It smells rather unique.
Telingewei frowned as well. "It seems drinkable? The powerful vengeful spirits have preserved these wines very well."
The Pixie nodded in agreement, indicating that the wine was quite good.
Xie Juanhan looked at the wine, then at Telingewei: "So, after being tainted by the vengeful spirits, these wines actually became mellow and had a unique flavor?"
Telingewei said seriously, "And you need to add your purification as well."

Chapter 82 [VIP]
"Two hundred and thirty-nine, two hundred and forty, two hundred and forty-one, a total of two hundred and forty-one barrels of wine." Xie Juanhan finished counting the barrels on the ground and turned to look at Telingewei.
Telingewei finished counting the bottles on the shelf. "There are 668 bottles here in total."
The Pixie, riding on flying squirrels, helped them count the wine. Hearing their words, they nodded vigorously to show they hadn't miscounted. "Chirp chirp!"
Looking at the cellar full of wine, Xie Juanhan couldn't help but sigh, "What a wealthy Archmage."
Telingewei: "Thanks to the vengeful spirit."
Alcohol also has an expiration date.
Without vengeful spirits, these wines would have long since rotted away in the annals of history.
It is precisely because of the powerful resentment of the vengeful spirits, coupled with the extremely low temperature, that these wines have escaped the ravages of time and remain mellow and delightful to this day.
Xie Juanhan patted the wine rack. "Yeah, we didn't expect to snag such a bargain."
They still had to visit the mages who owed Telingewei gold coins and Demonic Core, so they couldn't stay here any longer.
They stuffed a barrel of wine into the space, and then a hundred bottles of wine, intending to seal the rest and retrieve them later.
To prevent other adventurers from taking advantage of the situation.
Telingewei plans to inscribe a protective magic circle in the wine cellar.
This Xie Juanhan's first time seeing the Telingewei Vick protective array.
Watching him skillfully inscribe magical runes and install Demonic Core on them, Xie Juanhan couldn't help but secretly admire him.
It truly lives up to its name as a dragon.
This protective magic circle is really something; it's already radiating enormous magical energy even before it's fully formed.
Telingewei's protective magic circle was inscribed quickly and well.
In no time at all, the protective magic circle was completed.
Telingewei took Xie Juanhan's hand. "Let's go."
Xie Juanhan looked curiously at the wine cellar. "Is this all you need?"
Telingewei: "Unless there's another tough, thick-skinned dragon that doesn't need to worry about the items inside or getting hurt, and can just force its way in, there won't be any problem."
Hearing his nonchalant words, Xie Juanhan chuckled and scratched his palm, "Lord Dragon, why do I feel like you've even insulted yourself?"
The Pixie were reluctant to see Xie Juanhan and his companions leave.
Xie Juanhan said, "Don't rush, we still need to check on that feverish little flying squirrel."
The flying squirrel's owner's eyes lit up. "Chirp chirp?"
Xie Juanhan looked at the Pixie and softened his voice. "It's a promise, we'll heal the little flying squirrel, and you'll lead us to the Archmage's treasure. You have to keep your promise and heal the little flying squirrel."
The Pixie's eyes were slightly red. "Chirp."
The Pixie hid its flying squirrel in its mouse hole.
Xie Juanhan reached in and pulled out the small flying squirrel from the soft animal fur.
The little flying squirrel was fast asleep, its body soft and warm, but no longer hot to the touch.
Xie Juanhan knew the flying squirrel would be alright when he cast the Blessing Magic on it.
Seeing that it's getting better after taking the fever reducer makes my heart soften.
After gently checking the little flying squirrel, Xie Juanhan returned it to the Pixie: "It's alright."
The Pixie struggled to hold the flying squirrel, its eyes shining as it looked at Xie Juanhan: "Chirp."
The little flying squirrel was startled awake by its movement, opened its eyes, and looked at its owner with its big, round eyes.
After watching for a while, the little flying squirrel suddenly nuzzled the Pixie with its head.
The Pixie was delighted, hugged the flying squirrel, and pressed its cheek against it. "Chirp chirp!"
The little flying squirrel whined, "Squeak!"
Xie Juanhan watched them interact and smiled, "Alright, there's nothing else here. Telingewei and I will be going now. We'll come see you again next time."
The Pixie, perched on the branches, chirped reluctantly.
Xie Juanhan waved his hand and put his arm around Telingewei's shoulder. "Don't worry, our wine is still here, it will definitely come back."
The Pixie said goodbye, "Chirp chirp!"
Telingewei took two steps back and transformed into a giant dragon in the open space.
Xie Juanhan didn't let go of his shoulder at all, and in the same position as with his arm around his shoulder, he jumped up and rode directly on his back.
The giant dragon carried Xie Juanhan into the sky and flew away.
Xie Juanhan and his group spent two days in Teme Port, and then another half a day in the Archmage's Tower.
Next, as planned, they visited the mages who had borrowed Telingewei coins and Demonic Core one by one, and asked them about the space.
Telingewei was already very powerful, and now he has a powerful partner.
All the magicians they encountered were friendly, even hospitable.
The two dragons successfully recovered the debt and lent out two more loans, agreeing on new interest rates and repayment periods.
We've almost finished visiting all the magicians.
Because their subsequent movements were exceptionally fast.
Not only was the wasted time recovered, but an additional three days were also created.
Xie Juanhan sat in the wilderness looking at the map. "There are two more to come, one is the necromancer from the swamp, and the other is the Archmage of Ahaman City."
Ahaman City was the capital of the Malalehalin Kingdom, and also the capital of the kingdom they lived in.
It is considered one of the world's premier metropolises, far more prosperous than Teme Port.
Xie Juanhan's slender fingers traced a path from the swamp to Ahaman City: "Shall we visit the necromancer first, then the Archmage?"
Telingewei offered no objection. "It's your decision."
Xie Juanhan: "Following this order, we can spend two more days in Ahaman City before heading back. Does Ahaman City have any Silver Money Trading Company?"
Telingewei: "Yes."
Xie Juanhan smirked and nudged Telingewei's foot with his own. "Then I'll have to spend some money."
Telingewei: "Flower."
Xie Juanhan was quite curious about what Ahaman City looked like.
They quickly visited the necromancer in the swamp and arrived in Ahaman City at dusk.
This city truly lives up to its name as the capital.
The entire city filled every available space between the mountains and the sea. The majestic city walls not only outlined the core area but also set up numerous magical formations to protect the most important royal palace.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei transformed back into human form and entered the capital city, checking into the largest and most luxurious hotel, which was located near the royal palace.
Inside the opulent hotel, he could already sense the terrifying Magic Power of the magic circle.
Xie Juanhan felt that even if Telingewei transformed into his largest form and breathed fire at the magic circle, he probably wouldn't be able to destroy the protective magic circle for the time being.
He transformed into his largest form and wreaked havoc, presumably doing the same.
Human civilization is truly astonishing.
Not only is the capital city breathtaking, but the Archmage who thrive in it are also quite skilled.
The last Archmage they were to visit was a woman.
By human standards, she would probably be a Grand Magus.
Upon seeing Telingewei and Xie Juanhan, she muttered, "Goddess, Telingewei, how are you so lucky? Being born a dragon is one thing, but to find another powerful dragon as a mate is truly enviable."
Xie Juanhan laughed from the side.
Seeing Xie Juanhan's smile, she clutched her chest, her jealousy becoming even more genuine. "You're so lucky, you can't keep robbing poor magicians, can you?"
Telingewei looked at her. "The gold coins and Demonic Core exceeding the loan term will not incur interest."
Mumedeli immediately replied, "Thank you for your generosity! I knew it—"
Telingewei: "But I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Mumedeli said warily, "Tell me what kind of favor it is first. If it's too expensive, I'll just pay you interest."
Telingewei: "I just wanted to ask you about the spatial rift; I don't need you to do anything."
