He saw the wines, which had completed fermentation and had been placed in the cellar, fermenting uniquely in the shadowy environment.

It seemed to him that he could feel the rapid proliferation of the shadowy mold within them, subtly altering the essence of the wine.

He perceived the vibrant life force in the Weizemay Vineyard and the harmonious laws that enveloped it, where all beings coexisted and thrived together.

It was an incredibly delightful perception ability that somewhat intoxicated him.

What was enhanced and magnified was not merely his perception; even his self-control had grown much stronger.

With a shift of thought, he focused his mental attention where it needed to be.

The fifty carts of goods that had just been transported to Weizemay Manor had barely begun to be purified before they started to slowly disappear.

Conversely, they began to slowly materialize in the Crystal Hall on the sublevel of the Tower of Dominion, seemingly coming into existence from nothing.

This place had been turned by Gaven into a temporary treasury.

Five-Willow, who was conducting reverse purification on the other side at Weizemay Manor, was startled at first and thought to enter a combat state, but he then perceived a familiar soul consciousness and immediately calmed down.

What had previously taken Gaven five days and the use of forty high-level Teleportation Spells to transport the same quantity of goods, he managed to pull all of them to Mesnoel in just an hour and a half.

The only drawback was that they were still in a state of Negative Energy contamination, unusable for the moment.

There was no convenient method for this; for now, they could only be extracted through Five-Willow’s purification ability.

Although Five-Willow and Black Nanmu both had the Negative Energy Attribute, they still contained elements of Life Force, making it impossible to use this method for rapid transfer and dragging.

But transporting Five-Willow was undoubtedly much easier.

It simply involved sending Veranika to make a trip to Weizemay Manor, especially since she still hadn’t used her teleportation quota for the day.

Upon seeing Gaven, Veranika immediately asked, “Tell me, where are we going this time?”

After being assigned to Gaven by Lady Strategy, half her time was spent acting as a teleportation tool.

Now that Gaven sought her out, it was unlikely for them to discuss a second matter.

Her question made Gaven feel somewhat embarrassed.

He apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, I’ve troubled you these past few days, but rest assured, I won’t let your efforts go unrewarded.

I will pay you a salary at market rates when the time comes.”

Veranika shook her head, “Lord, you misunderstand.

Based solely on your previous acts and contributions in honor of Lady Strategy, I can serve you unconditionally for ten years.

This is both my desire and Lady Strategy’s will.

I was merely asking about our destination.

As long as you continue to honor Lady Strategy, that will be the best compensation for me.”

Devotees like Veranika, who were above Transcendents in devotion, could not typically be hired long-term just with money.

When they chose to serve someone for a long time, it usually wasn’t for common compensation such as money, except for the followers of the Goddess of Wealth.

“I apologize, it was thoughtless of me,” said Gaven after a brief consideration.

“Let’s make a change then.

I will grant you authority over the sixty-fifth floor of the Tower of Dominion.”

“What would I do with control over the sixty-fifth floor?” Veranika asked, puzzled and surprised.

“You can treat it as your private room.

The Tower of Dominion possesses certain abilities to amplify personal capabilities, especially perception.

I believe that praying inside would make it more likely for the Goddess to listen.

Or, you could transform it into a dedicated Temple for Lady Strategy.

How you allocate it is up to you,” Gaven offered two different directions with his suggestions.

At the first suggestion, Veranika was somewhat indifferent; after all, she was the third Knight under Her Highness Yin Hong and had a certain say in the presence of Lady Strategy.

Either she didn’t pray or, once she did, Lady Strategy would certainly take it seriously and listen carefully.

She had that confidence in herself.

But the second suggestion was something she couldn’t overlook.

This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to expand the faith of Lady Strategy, especially among the Goliahs, who were excellent potential devotees.

The one they revered as the Chieftain of chieftains, akin to a founder of the Goliah race, was not a deity mentioned among the Deities of Felen.

“Then I thank you in advance, Lord,” Veranika gratefully accepted Gaven’s gift.

“Where do we need to go?

Shall we leave?”

“Please wait, I will transfer the core control of the sixty-fifth floor to you.

Then you will be able to freely enter and exit this floor through the internal crystal portal and grant others access to this floor,” Gaven said.

This task was not troublesome; it worked similarly to Mystlock Locks, which could be directly managed through the Soul Totem.

No sooner had he completed the operation than Veranika immediately felt a sense of recognition, as if she had gained a Special Ability.

However, this ability was bestowed by Gaven and could be revoked at any time.

Just like the last time cargoes were transported, the trip back to Weizemay Manor used the Tower of Dominion’s amplified Teleportation Spell.

On the return trip, a high-level Teleportation Spell was used.

If she was teleporting living creatures, Veranika could now transport four medium-sized creatures at once.

And Five-Willow counted as a super-large creature, equivalent to four medium creatures.

Normally, only one could be teleported at a time.

But laws are rigid, and people are flexible; there are always loopholes to exploit.

A Shrinking Spell was directly cast on Five-Willow, reducing their size by half and thus turning them into large creatures, allowing two to be teleported at once.

But Five-Willow was a special case.

Gaven directly manipulated them into a combined state, then cast the Shrinking Spell to change their gigantic stature into a super-large stature.

Of course, an ordinary second-level Shrinking Spell definitely couldn’t affect the Five-Willow True Form.

It was a spell designed for medium-sized creatures and was not intended to make an adult Giant Dragon become as huge as an Ancient Dragon—spells must adhere to the Conservation of Energy, and the magic power contained within a second-level spell wasn’t that great.

However, a Shrinking Spell cast with Extreme Magic Proficiency could do the job.

Then a high-level Teleportation Spell took care of the rest.
