Chapter 39: The Beginning of Vanpi
Li Wei raised the branch of the sacred torch. The dark mass of people in the square were chanting "Salma" in awe. Li Wei looked over, his eyes meeting the fearful and humble faces of the crowd. He saw Piro's men kneeling devoutly before him, saw Vesa, who had spoken to him with disdain, looking at him with fear, saw Suleisa replacing Piro's wife as the center of attention, surrounded by admirers...
At that moment, he suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
"Perhaps it's not the power itself that's intoxicating, but the things that come with it." Li Wei pondered, then looked at Piro's corpse. This once-powerful figure, surrounded by followers, now lay alone in a pool of blood at the edge of the square, and no one dared to collect his body.
Li Wei thought that if he wasn't strong enough tonight, if he didn't have the cheat panel, he would still be the same useless person he was before. Tonight, he would probably be kicked to death like a stray dog, and Suleisa would be taken away by someone.
"So, we need to hurry up and gather faith power to complete the Brahma." With that thought, Li Wei looked at Piro's chief strategist, Bhatt, a man who had a similar air to Lü Bu.
When Li Wei raised the branch of the sacred fire, Raka's face was filled with extreme excitement and agitation. This was his son-in-law, a three-headed Naga. Raka wanted to burst out laughing, but he held back. He glanced around and saw that the merchants who had just been circling the Vaishyas were now looking at him with fawning eyes.
This made Laka feel very comfortable. He had found a capable son-in-law. These cunning old men fawned over whoever was in power; they were all opportunists.
"Just over ten days ago, I made the greatest deal of my life," Laka thought to himself. He considered marrying his daughter to Levi just over ten days ago as his proudest masterpiece.
He didn't think about it, much less ask why Li Wei was only a one-headed Naga a dozen days ago, but had become a three-headed Naga today. It wasn't something he should think about or ask.
"Sister." On the other side, Shaha quietly ran to Suleisha's side, his whole body brimming with excitement as he said to her, "Father has such good taste, and sister has such good taste too! Your husband is a three-headed Naga! Our Moyate family is about to rise to prominence!"
Shaha had an unnatural flush on his face, a flush of excitement. He was already thinking about how his family's business would expand several times over after they acquired the Blackstone Mine. No, wait! His brother-in-law was from the three-headed Naga family, and he might be able to complete the Brahma Bone in the future and control a territory with hundreds of thousands of people. Compared to that, what was the profit brought by a mere Blackstone Mine?
"Brother-in-law? Interesting, brother. I remember you always called Li Wei by his name, and you wouldn't even call him Salma. Why are you calling him so affectionately now?" Suleisa said irritably, looking at her brother's arrogant and obsequious manner.
"That was because I was blind and looked down on people before," Shaha said with an awkward smile. Then he said in a low voice, "Sister, please don't tell your husband that I advised you to marry Piro. I am your brother from the same mother. Your husband will definitely have more than one wife in the future. If I am not here, who will be your helper when you are out in the world? Father is old, and those two brothers are not from the same mother as us and cannot be relied on. My sister and I are ultimately the closest blood relatives."
"It depends on my mood, we'll talk about it later." Shaha's words made Suleisa ponder for a moment, then she snorted coldly and ignored her brother. She looked at Li Wei in the center of the crowd, feeling proud, honored, and a little worried.
……
The next day, a procession of caravans lined up outside the Rakka family’s house, with merchants coming and going in an endless stream. Almost all the prominent people from the surrounding villages had come today, often accompanied by their wives, who would then go and chat with Suleisha Devi to sound out Salma’s opinion.
After last night, everyone knew that the region had changed, and these merchants had to consider their future relationship with Levi. They had to curry favor with the man who had replaced Piro as the most powerful man.
In addition, those merchants who had close ties with Piro in the past were also very afraid that Levi would settle scores with them. So at this moment, you can see rows of carriages in front of Laca’s house, all loaded with large boxes of jewelry. It can only be said that there are too many people who want to give gifts to Levi.
At the Raka residence, Levi sat alone in his room. He did not meet with the visiting merchants, leaving the matter entirely to Raka to handle for him.
On the one hand, he felt he had to repay Laca, so he left the decision of how to deal with these merchants to Laca, as well as Piro's businesses, his Blackstone mine, and the wealth Piro had accumulated over the years, all to Laca.
On the other hand, Li Wei had no time to entertain these merchants. He was focused on waiting for Bhatt to arrive in his room, waiting for Bhatt to bring the Faith Stone so that he could complete the Vanish skin.
Last night, Li Wei gave Bhatt a task: to spend the morning building temples in the twelve villages controlled by Piro, collecting faith power, and then handing over the faith stones containing the faith power of the twelve villages to him before noon today.
There are generally two methods for collecting faith power. One is more formal, which involves building a magnificent temple, appointing priests, and having believers regularly visit the temple to worship. The faith power collected in this way is generally more complete and pure.
There is another less formal method. For example, a dozen days ago, Li Wei collected faith power in Tuka Village by building a simple altar and gathering the villagers around it, calling upon the Naga God. The faith power collected in this way is not as precise or as abundant, but it has the advantage of being convenient.
Livy had Bhatt collect faith power using the second method: he built simple altars in twelve villages and then summoned the villagers to kneel and worship the Naga.
Although the faith power collected in this way would not be as pure and complete, there was no other way; Li Wei simply did not have the time to build a magnificent Naga temple.
Li Wei now guesses that the Kshatriya of Tuli Town has probably already received information about his killing of Piro.
Therefore, he had to complete the Van Pi in the shortest possible time.
If he used the first method, building a Naga temple in the village would be too time-consuming; it would take at least half a month to complete.
Li Wei waited another hour, and it was almost noon when Bhatt came to Li Wei's room and knocked on the door respectfully: "Salma, the faith power has been fully collected."
"This Bhatt is quite capable, although his character is a bit..." Li Wei was very satisfied with Bhatt's work efficiency. He had collected faith power in twelve villages in one morning. This task was neither difficult nor easy.
Doing this job well requires certain personal abilities and status.
Buhat's identity was exactly what he needed to accomplish this task. First of all, Buhat was Piro's confidant, and this person must be familiar with the specific situation of Piro's twelve villages, and be able to grasp the situation at the first opportunity.
Therefore, despite the fact that Bhatt was suspected of betraying his master last night, he was the first to kneel down and surrender.
But Livy still accepted his surrender. He didn't have any pretentious sentimentality and said something like, "I don't respect a traitor like you," and then he cleaved Buchart in two with a single stroke.
He genuinely felt that there was nothing wrong with Buhart joining him.
Sometimes when hiring someone, their character is not the primary consideration; their abilities and position should be taken into account.
Moreover, as long as Li Wei keeps winning, there's not much to worry about regarding the loyalty of such people.
"Come in," Li Wei said. Bhatt entered and respectfully handed over the Stone of Faith.
Li Wei accepted the three stones of faith, each containing the power of faith from four villages. Holding them in his hand, Li Wei vaguely sensed a scene of thousands of villagers collectively worshipping the Naga.
When Li Wei fled here, he carried three Stones of Faith with him.
"You did a good job. You may leave now." Li Wei waved his hand, and Buhart bowed respectfully again before leaving the room.
As Bhatt walked down the corridor, he pondered whether his performance had satisfied Salma.
Suddenly, Buhat heard footsteps in front of him. He looked up and saw Shah coming towards him, followed by two maids carrying a box of jewels.
Buhat immediately bowed respectfully; right now, the Laka family was the object of everyone's flattery.
This man is Salma's brother-in-law; his sister is Salma's only wife, so he must maintain a good relationship with him.
"I've met Shahababu," Buhat said, bowing his head with a hint of humility.
Shaha was taken aback. Wasn't this Buhat? The famous chief strategist of Piro in this region. Piro respected this man very much. When Shaha had met Piro before, when had Buhat ever bowed to him like this?
For a moment, Sofa exclaimed again, "What a good brother-in-law! What a good brother-in-law! I'm benefiting from your good fortune again!"
He benefited from his brother-in-law's influence several times today.
Look, the box of jewelry behind him was a gift from a wealthy businessman, which he plans to send to his sister.
My sister's room is still full of women who are trying to curry favor with her.
