Chapter 2514
It was always important to plan for the future, especially on Theos Island. Therefore, storing as much spiritual water as possible was the right path forward.
By the time the fifth day came around, Zeke had already accumulated a hundred drops of spiritual water.
“Minerva, do you know where I can go to exchange for meat?”
“Master, are you planning on using the spiritual water for that?”
“Of course,” Zeke replied with a nod.
“Master, don't you think that's a little too extravagant? We've only just had meat a while ago. Should we be eating it again?”
“Don't worry about it,” Zeke assured. “We have more than enough spiritual water to go around. All you have to do is tell me where I can make the exchange.”
Minerva listened intently and nodded. “That's true. We do have plenty of spiritual water, so there's no harm in exchanging some for meat. In that case, we'll have to go to the Chieftain's manor.”
“Good, good. Say, why don't you come along with me?”
“No problem!” Minerva replied before leaving with Zeke in tow.
After walking for more than an hour, Minerva and Zeke finally found themselves nearing the Chieftain's
manor.
Located at the junction of Contubernium's district and Centuria's district, the Chieftain's manor was a wooden house that was modest but clean.
There was even an old signage at the entrance that had the words “Manor of the Chieftain” engraved on it.
The sign was simple but imposing, and Zeke could tell that only a warrior of the Archduke Class could make something of such magnitude.
Could the Chieftain be an Archduke Class warrior?
With that thought in mind, Zeke pushed the wooden door and strode into the house.
“Chieftain, are you at home?” Minerva hastily shouted.
Just then, a raspy voice rang out from inside. “Who's that?”
“We'd like to seek an audience with you, Chieftain,” Minerva replied. “Mr. Williams is hoping to exchange some resources.”
Creak!
As the weathered wooden door creaked open, an old man with white hair and ragged clothes walked out slowly.
Despite his age, there was no doubt he looked very healthy and energetic.
After glancing at Zeke, he promptly turned his attention back to Minerva.
“Well, hello there, Minerva.”
“Hello, Chieftain,” Minerva greeted with a polite nod. “Mr. Williams would like to exchange for some resources.”
Johan, the Chieftain, nodded and looked at Zeke. “You're the new Decanus of Megahead Team, aren't you? I can tell from your aura that you're no ordinary human. What's your name?”
“I'm Zeke Williams, and I'm just a nobody.”
“Zeke Williams?” Johan pondered for a moment. “The name sounds familiar, but I don't remember the details. Anyway, what resources are you looking to get?”
“I'd like to exchange for meat.”
Johan broke into a smile. “Well done! You've only been here a few days, yet you've already collected enough spiritual water to exchange for meat. That's pretty impressive. How much meat would you like?”
Without skipping a beat, Zeke answered, “I'd like to exchange one hundred drops of spiritual water for twenty pounds of meat.”
“W-What?” Johan stammered as his hands trembled slightly. “Are you serious? Do you really have a
hundred drops of spiritual water?”
Zeke swiftly whipped out his porcelain bottle and showed it to Johan. “What do you think, Chieftain? Is this real or fake?”
“You do indeed have one hundred drops of spiritual water...” Johan mumbled as the corner of his lip twitched. “No one has ever achieved this feat. Besides, you've only been here for a few days. Tell me the truth, young man. How did you collect all these in such a short period?”
“I collected them one drop at a time.”
Johan couldn't quite believe that. “Don't lie to me, young man. Most of the time, the amount of spiritual water each Contubernium collects can only get them enough resources to feed its members. Even if there's a surplus, it's unlikely to exceed four drops. Moreover, you're claiming that you already have an excess of one hundred drops after a few days. Who the hell will buy that? Did you kill the other Contubernia and rob them of their spiritual water?”
A smile crept across Zeke's face. “Chieftain, given your role on Theos Island, shouldn't you be keeping a close eye on everything that's happening in the district?”
