Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 317: The recipe of the divine wine.
(Monthly tickets will add more chapters in advance)
The saint's world is still in the center of the palace garden.

Along with the appearance of a boundary gate projection, a figure shot over from the other side of the boundary gate projection.

As soon as this figure passed through the gate, Reed and Claire appeared near this figure.

"Welcome back, Lina!" Li De said to the person who came back.

"Captain, I'm back." Kalina replied in a deep voice.

"It seems that the situation is not what I expected, right?" As soon as Li De heard Kalina's voice, he immediately realized that the purpose of asking Kalina to go there was probably not achieved.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't see Lord Bert after I arrived in Orario." Kalina shook her head.

"He's not in Orarie anymore?" Li De asked with concern.

"No, he's dead," Kalina said immediately.

"Dead? How is that possible?" Li De found it a little hard to accept the news.

You should know that when Reed left the first mission world, Orario, Bert was a level 5 first-level adventurer.

According to the original novel, he will reach Lv.6 in the near future, and it has not been many years since Li Decai left Orario. Even if Bert cannot reach Lv.7, he will definitely not die of old age.

After all, adventurers in the world of Dicuo can delay aging after being upgraded, and it has been less than forty years since Reed left Orario, and Bert was not even 22 years old at that time.

So Reed could accept Bert's retirement from the front line, but he absolutely could not accept the news of Bert's death.

"Captain, please accept my condolences. Lord Bert has indeed passed away for more than 20 years. It took me some effort to find out this news, because Loki's family has also declined."

Although Kalina didn't know how close Reed was to Loki's followers and the cadre named Bert whom she was asked to find, the information she had inquired about was indeed true.

"So what exactly happened? Kalina, can you tell me?" Reed continued to ask.

Three years ago, after Zeta brought Kalina back to the world of the Saint, Reed taught Kalina the common language of Orario and had people train her combat effectiveness.

Until recently, Li De opened the gate and sent Kalina to the original world.

One is to let her get familiar with the environment of Orario, and the other is that Reed wants to know how his good friend Bert has been doing over the years.

Because Li De was afraid of the gods of Orario, he didn't dare to go there in person. After all, whether there was a systematic cover-up or not was two different matters for Li De.

If he had not accepted the mission and relied on the system's cover to go to Orario where the gods were active, there was a high possibility that Li De would be discovered.

The most important thing is that Li De was afraid that the space fluctuations when the gate was opened would attract the attention of the gods.

Of course, this also applies to Kalina.

The only difference between Kalina and Reed is that she does not have the blood of the devil in her body, so even if she is discovered, at least her life will not be in danger with her resourcefulness.

After all, the gods come down to earth to have fun, so unless they encounter an invasion of demons from hell, the gods at least won't shout for fighting and killing.

Therefore, Kalina's life is at least not in danger, and the rest depends on how Kalina acts.

As for the retreat route, it is easy to solve. An eye that seals the gate is enough.

As long as the place opened is deep in the dungeon where the hands of the gods cannot reach, there will be no problem returning.

That's why Li De dared to send Kalina to inquire about Bert's information, and by the way, see if he could get some magic wine from Soma's followers in advance.

"The death of Lord Bert and the decline of Loki's followers both occurred after the crusade against the One-Eyed Black Dragon. Although the crusade was successful, all those who participated in the crusade paid a heavy price, and almost everyone was injured to varying degrees.

Lord Bert seemed to hate dragons especially, so he was always at the forefront during the battle, and his injuries were among the most serious. Although he survived by chance, his body was also irreversibly damaged.

After the Affiliate Alliance that was conquered at that time returned to Orario in triumph, the members of the former Loki Affiliate, Freya Affiliate, and Hestia Affiliate who killed the black dragon all retired within just one to two years.

After listening to Kalina, Li De finally understood the real reason why Bert died early.

The Dragon Valley at the edge of the world is not so easy to conquer, otherwise the main force of the coalition forces of Zeus and Hera's followers, who had level 9 adventurers, would not have gone there without returning.

But the Dragon Valley is a taboo for Bert. In the past, his people were destroyed by a giant dragon that escaped from the Dragon Valley, and no one was spared except him.

After he went to Orario to join the Vida clan as an adventurer and reached level 16 at the age of 3, Bert returned to his hometown and killed the dragon to avenge his clan.

But when he returned to Orario, his lover in Vida Familia was dead.

Therefore, it can be said that Bert’s early misfortunes were all caused by Dragon Nest, which makes it not difficult to understand why Bert hated Dragon Nest so much.

"Alas" After hearing this, Li De had nothing to say except a long sigh. After all, it was Bert's own choice.

"Lina, did you get the magic wine this time?" Claire, who was standing aside, followed Reed in silence for a while before asking Kalina.

"I'm sorry, Sister Claire, although the wine god Soma is still in Orario, according to the information I have inquired, Soma's followers have not brewed the wine for many years. I heard that the spring water used to brew the wine comes from the 51st floor.

Since the defeat of the One-Eyed Black Dragon, the level of adventurers in Orario has dropped a lot, so that the strongest member of the strongest followers is only at Lv.5, and the number of floors explored has barely reached 48.

Without the spring water from the 51st floor, there would be no divine wine, not even defective products. Therefore, the god of wine, Soma, could only choose lower-grade raw materials and brew lower-grade wine to barely maintain the operation of his followers. "Kalina also spread her hands helplessly.

Although she also wanted to show her skills, she had no goal.

"Cadmus Spring! I didn't expect that this thing was used in the magic wine. I always thought that this spring water was the main ingredient for making the panacea." Li De couldn't help but sigh.

After all, when Reed was still in Orario, every time Loki's followers went on an expedition deep into the dungeon, the Cadmus Springs they brought back were basically reserved in advance by Dean Kate's followers, so Reed did not expect that Soma's magic wine would actually use this thing.

As for the channel through which Soma obtained the Fountain of Cadmus, it was probably most likely Freya's followers or other followers who could reach the 51st floor.

"Master!" Just when Kalina wanted to say something, a figure appeared beside Li De.

"Akira, your appearance here, does it mean that Shiho has good news to tell me?" Li De asked Miyano Akemi.

"Yes, master. Shiho has completed the order, so I would like to ask you to deliver it." Miyano Akemi replied to Li De very respectfully.

"This is really good news, but I don't know if the mission can be completed successfully this time." After Li De finished speaking, a teleportation array appeared under his feet and wrapped up the four people present.

Because the cosmetics factory built by Miyano Shiho was not near the palace, or even in the capital, but in the medicinal material producing area of ​​Klaunas Territory. In fact, except for a few people from Alexia's 13th Division, no one else was in the capital.

After all, everyone has a mansion that can be moved to at any time, and can live wherever they want, so why must they squeeze into the palace with Alexia?

Especially girls like Beta who don't like Alexia would not want to live with her.

In fact, if Li De had not set the coordinates for opening the gate in the garden of the palace, Li De would not be here at this moment.

As the light of the teleportation array disappeared, Li De and others arrived at the huge warehouse of the cosmetics factory.

Here are piled up cosmetics produced over the past three years with the help of Kotori Yusei's special magic.

Because they are engraved with magic that maintains the status from the world of Eight Men, the items here have no so-called shelf life before the magic wears off, which is the same as putting them in a magic bag.

"Master, 100,000 cosmetics of each type are ready." Miyano Shiho said after seeing Li De arrive.

"Shiho, thank you for your hard work over the past three years." Li De nodded and said.

"Master, I'm not tired, but it's true that I made the saint very tired. I really should thank her." Miyano Shiho couldn't help but chuckled with her hands covering her mouth after hearing this.

"If we can complete the task this time, we really have to thank her." Li De also nodded with a smile.

Li De was very clear that Miyano Shiho was laughing at Yusei Kotori's corporate working attitude, but it was true that this spirit was worthy of admiration.

After all, Xiao Niaoyousheng is not that desperate, and the time he spent preparing the goods is definitely more than just three years.

"Sid, submit the task quickly." Claire on the side couldn't help but urge him. After all, she also wanted to know whether the task could be completed.

Because whether or not one can do so will affect Li De’s subsequent plans.

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Li De stretched out his hand and aimed at the goods in front of him.

With a terrifying suction force coming from Li De's palm, all the goods in the huge warehouse were emptied in less than a breath.

The next second, a pop-up window appeared in Li De's sight.

But unfortunately, it was not the task completion prompt that Li De wanted to see.

Rather, it is a clearly marked list showing how much of each item is delivered and how much is missing.

The big guy who issued the task would not give in easily.

Fortunately, there is a clear number this time. Even though the number is huge, it at least gives Li De and others hope of completing the mission.

"These 50 points are a huge loss!" Miyano Shiho couldn't help but sigh after seeing the missing number.

"We have to take it even if the loss is huge. After all, the eye cream made from raw materials blessed by Saint Kotori can relieve fatigue of our eyes to a certain extent, not to mention the effects of other cosmetics." Claire said fairly.

After all, if the other party had not issued this task, they would not have been able to come to this world, let alone come into contact with these extremely powerful cosmetics.

"The skin care products are top-notch. I love that product so much." Kalina at the side couldn't help but interject.

It was only after coming here that Kalina realized the terrifying effects of the Saint Series of cosmetics, to the point that she could no longer live without them after using them.

"Go on. We'll just have to make that saint suffer a little more." Li De said with a sigh.

"It's true that we have to trouble Yusei Kotori. If we work faster, it should be completed in six years." Miyano Shiho nodded and estimated the time it would take to complete the task.

"Shiho, don't be so hasty this time. Give him more time to rest. It doesn't matter if we delay it for a few years." Li De shook his head.

Since you are already trapped, why should you be so anxious? Just delay the time a little bit. After all, you are not the one waiting for the goods.

"I understand. So, master, are you planning to accept the second mission?" Miyano Shiho understood Li De's plan after hearing this.

After all, as long as two tasks are completed, the list will be refreshed.

Among the refreshed tasks, Li De actually does not value the difficult tasks worth 50 points. He usually accepts nightmare and hell level tasks.

Therefore, only these two tasks need to be refreshed.

As for the difficult task that is currently being executed, unless Li De is unwilling to accept the next refreshed task, Li De basically doesn't need to care whether the difficult task is refreshed.

That's why Li Decai deliberately said this, with the purpose of teaching a lesson to the person who issued the task.

As for whether delaying the completion of the task would teach that greedy person a lesson, Li De didn't know.

But if Li De does nothing, he will definitely have no chance.

So even if it is finally proved to be just Ah Q spirit, Li De will still give it a try.

"Well, after all, Lina brought back valuable information this time, which gave me hope of completing the mission." Li De nodded.

After all, knowing that the main ingredient of the divine wine includes the spring of Cadmus, at least Soma's followers have room for maneuver.

As for Dionysus, Li De will let Kalina steal his things and make him very angry.

After all, without the magic wine, his crucial plan of faking his death could not be carried out.

Because only by making the goddess of poverty Penea intoxicated can he complete his plan of faking his own death.

The amount of divine wine he needed for this plan was not a small amount, so he had to ensure that the amount of divine wine in the Dionysus and Familia red wine storage warehouse remained above a certain level before launching the plan.

And if the quantity is not enough, no matter how crazy Dionysus is, he can only work hard to brew the divine wine for his own plan.

This ensures the possibility of Li De completing the task.

After all, as long as Dionysus is not sent back to the realm of the gods, a small amount of divine wine can be produced every once in a while.
