"Another blue thread."
Luo De smiled.
It doesnāt seem very difficult, just a matter of stacking materials.
This thread purely tests Luo Deās financial resources, and Luo De has already seen the next thread beckoning.
When people are happy, thereās always a bit of uncontrollable excitement in everything they do.
After handling the materials of the giant octopus, Luo De immediately took out half of the tentacle.
"So thick!"
Everyone couldnāt help but exclaim.
The tentacle in Luo Deās arms was more than a meter long, yet thicker than a girlās waist.
"I have something even thicker than this."
Luo De smiled and looked at Vivian, "Have the guard notify Durant and the others that Iām treating them to octopus tonight."
"Great, this sea monster must taste amazing."
Vivianās eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly, "Iāll also have Martha prepare some more side dishes and spices!"
"Hmm, but this time I want to make some special food for you, just like those teas."
Luo De looked at You Lai beside him, "Also prepare some herbs that replenish life, both ordinary and magic plants."
Luo De himself wasnāt too confident, as the gourmetās unique entries didnāt always take effect and could only be gauged by their results.
But even if it doesnāt work out, itās just a gathering with his subordinates.
"Yes, sir."
You Lai nodded, and along with his companions began to get busy immediately.
Luo De had someone find a flat stone slab and began cutting the tentacle.
At that moment, Luo De sensed hurried footsteps outside.
When he went out, it was indeed the short Senda.
"Success!"
Senda was full of excitement,
"Hahaha, Lord Rod, since following you, my luck has really been getting better and better!"
Sendaās unrestrained laughter immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding servants, and Luo De waved them away to continue their work.
"Donāt be so flashy, Senda."
Luo De reminded, "Many good things donāt need others to know, or it will incite jealousy."
"Ah, right!"
Senda tapped his mouth, walked over to Luo De, and quietly extended his hand.
It held a circular ring with a chain, with a tawny crystal stone embedded in the center.
"Is this a magic necklace?!"
Luo De had anticipated it but still looked at Senda in shock, "Youāve finished it so quickly?!"
"Hahaha, I told you, my luck improved after following you!"
Senda laughed again, but this time it was a little quieter,
"I failed nine times making that ring last time!"
"But this time, I only failed twice before completing it!"
"Ahahaha!"
Senda laughed so hard he could hardly close his mouth, showing he was happier than Luo De.
"Alright, this is for you!"
Senda shoved the necklace into Luo Deās hand, turned to leave, but Luo De grabbed him.
"Why are you in such a hurry, you havenāt told me the specific effects yet?" Luo De asked.
"Oh, right, I forgot."
Senda scratched his head and explained, "It slightly enhances the wearerās magic power recovery speed, but mainly itās defensive."
"Energy shield, it triggers automatically when attacked, twice in total."
"Once depleted, it takes half a day to recover and also needs magic power for recharging."
After hearing the description, Luo De showed surprise, "Two magic effects?"
"Originally, extraordinary crystal stones already have the effect of magic power recovery. I just enhanced it a bit."
Senda explained, "The energy shield is my masterpiece!"
"Not bad, worthy of a master."
Luo De praised, "Looks like Iāll have to give all my materials to you in the future."
"Hahaha, who else would you give them to if not me!"
Senda laughed heartily, looking at Luo De, "But really, following you is the best thing thatās happened to me lately, thanks for your support!"
"We collaborate and win together."
Luo De instinctively reached out to pat Senda on the head but stopped just in time.
In the end, he just patted Sendaās shoulder and said, "Tonight thereās a bonfire feast at the Lord Manor, come along and meet others."
"No, I need to seize the time to really understand the experience this time."
Senda leaned closer and spoke mysteriously, "I feel my head itching, this time there might be a lot of insights!"
Luo De looked at Sendaās thick and tangled hair, frowned, and asked, "Your headās itching, could it be because you havenāt washed your hair in too long?"
"Impossible, I just washed it, less than two months ago!"
Senda said firmly, "I used to not itch for three months!"
"..."
Luo De was speechless, sighed slightly, "Never mind, letās not worry about this, tonight there will be some special dishes."
Luo De didnāt give Senda a chance to speak, gently pulling him into the cave with a bit of force.
"As a wizard apprentice, Lord Rod, your strength is somewhat unusual... huh?"
Senda stared at the half-processed tentacle on the stone slab, "Why is there a magic power fluctuation here? My imagination?"
"No, this is a tentacle from a giant sea monster."
Luo De proactively explained, "You can understand it as a low-level magical beast, but honestly, itās not as powerful as magical beasts."
"A sea monster... Iāve heard of that."
Senda curiously approached, observing and chiming in, "Those creatures are all ugly, huge, but very weak in spellcasting, itās puzzling."
"Does this thing have any leather, or blood?"
Senda asked without hiding, "I might find use for them."
"Rest assured, Iāll save some for you."
Luo De knew Sendaās straightforward character, so he wasnāt offended by his direct request.
You canāt expect someone to work diligently while also being emotionally intelligent and sophisticated, can you?
