Awakening divorce, the little female is scrambled by all the big guys

Chapter 166 The Distant Holy Capital

Klein looked at Ophelia's suddenly bright eyes and felt a sense of unease.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Klein, you've been to the Holy City, so could you get your hands on a loom?"

"A loom? You mean that wooden frame used specifically for weaving linen? What do you need it for?"

People in the Holy City wear linen, and he had observed the linen-making process when he visited the Holy City before.

However, it is too cumbersome, and the weaving process is very complicated, so it cannot be completed overnight.

The time wasted on weaving is better spent hunting or mining.

“I like wearing linen, so I want to try weaving my own cloth.”

"You can weave?" Klein asked in surprise. He suddenly felt that Ophelia was too versatile.

Ophelia shook her head honestly. "No, but trying won't hurt. How will I know I can't do it if I don't try?"

"Just tell me, can you get me a loom? I'll give you any amount of crystals."

Klein pursed his lips. "I can only do my best, after all, no one would be willing to give something like this away."

The loom is an important tool for weaving cloth, and generally, the public would not allow the loom to be leaked.

“Okay, if that really doesn’t work, I’ll think of other ways.” Ophelia didn’t press the issue.

Seeing Ophelia's understanding nature, Klein felt somewhat displeased.

He took Ophelia's hand, his eyes darkening slightly. "Ophelia, we're partners. You can ask me to do things; you don't need to be so polite to me."

During their time together, he had also witnessed Ophelia throwing tantrums at Taylor.

She would also strongly request him to do certain things, and although Taylor would be shy and reluctant, he would still indulgently agree to her requests.

Whenever he saw this, he envied Taylor.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Ophelia felt a little embarrassed when her hand was suddenly grasped.

She instinctively wanted to slap him, but then she remembered their relationship as partners and could only forcefully restrain her instincts.

Klein could sense Ophelia's resistance and her attempt to accept herself.

He knew he couldn't push too hard, so he held hands for a while longer before letting go.

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and made an excuse to leave the room.

Klein went directly to the City of Beasts to find Maya, who was somewhat surprised to see her.

"White Tiger King, what brings you here? Is there something you need from Ophelia?"

Upon seeing this, Maya immediately stood up.

Before his young master left, he instructed him to ensure Ophelia's safety.

Therefore, he must not let anything happen to Ophelia during the time the young master is away.

Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble.

"Ophelia wants a loom."

"A loom? That thing is only found in the Holy City. Has she not given up yet?" Maya was amazed by Ophelia's perseverance.

"Yes, I know you have a way to get the message to the Holy City."

“Go tell Zeref that I’m willing to trade a purple crystal for a loom he can get his hands on.”

"A purple crystal???" Maya's mouth dropped open in surprise.

The reason why crystals can be circulated is not only because they are easy to carry and store, but more importantly, because crystals of cyan or higher color contain energy fluctuations.

This energy can enhance male strength.

The reason why the various noble families in the Holy Capital became high-level tribes was because their clansmen were powerful.

The reason they are able to become powerful is that they obtain the energy from the crystals, thereby increasing their strength.

Of course, such secret information did not reach the lower tribes, and crystals of cyan or higher hue would not appear in the lower tribes.

Purple crystals are extremely rare; an entire mine might not produce fifty in a year.

Klein's decision to give up a purple crystal for a loom is far too extravagant.

"You know that crystals can enhance strength, right?" Maya said in a low voice.

"nature."

"So you're still willing to trade it for a loom?" Klein's face remained calm. "She wants it, and I'm willing."

Seeing the blissful expression on Klein's face, Maya secretly gave him a thumbs up in her mind.

Ophelia's methods are indeed formidable; not only did she make her young master fall for her, but even the White Tiger King was willing to give her crystals.

Since Klein had said so, Maya naturally did not refuse.

He immediately instructed the male winged race of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to relay the message to Zeref, who was far away in the Holy Capital, and specifically instructed that the matter was extremely urgent and that he must speak to Zeref in person.

Three days later, in the Holy City.

Inside a magnificent stone house sat a young man with a serious expression.

The male listened intently to the report, his face grim.

If Ophelia were here, she would notice that the windows here are actually made of glass.

Although it is not transparent, it already has the basic shape of glass.

"Young Master, Princess Sophie has arrived and wishes to see you."

Zeref didn't even look up, continuing to listen to the reports from below.

Seeing this, the beast servant could only bow and leave.

A small female wearing a long yellow linen dress, who was waiting outside, hurriedly went up to ask.

"Is Brother Ze willing to see me now?"

The beast servant shook his head. "I'm too busy with my duties to see the princess."

Upon hearing this, Sophie pouted in dissatisfaction. "It's always about handling official business. Where does he get so much official business to handle every day?"

"He's been back from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts for a month, and I haven't been able to see him. Is it because he doesn't want to see me, or is he really too busy to have time?"

The beast servant dared not utter a word.

But Sophie also knew that Zeref simply didn't want to see her.

Otherwise, even if I had free time during meals, I could at least see her and exchange a few words.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a familiar face hurried past him.

"Isn't that Jiu Ying?"

The servant looked up. "It's Jiu Ying, he's the young master's most trusted servant."

"Why is he in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

"I don't know."

Jiu Ying deals with the young master's confidential matters, which they, as lowly beast servants, are not qualified to know.

Sophie rolled her eyes and waved her hand. "Alright, you can go now. I'll go back by myself."

The servant knew that Sophie came here every few days and was extremely familiar with the route out of the manor.

So he stopped talking and obediently withdrew.

After he left, Sophie looked around to make sure no one was there before tiptoeing forward.

She approached the conference hall in the mansion, pressed her head against the wall, and eavesdropped.

In the conference room, when Klein saw Jiu Ying approaching, he raised his hand to stop his subordinates from reporting.

"You go down first."

"Yes, Master."

The male obediently left, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Sophie eavesdropping outside the door.

Sophie winked at him, signaling him to leave quickly.

The male knew that Sophie was Klein's future mate, so he didn't stop.

In the room, Jiu Ying knelt on one knee on the ground. "Young Master, news has come from Ten Thousand Beasts City."

"But Oh, what happened to her?"

"Lord Maya has sent word that he wants a loom, and the White Tiger King has promised to exchange it for a purple crystal."

Loom? White Tiger King—these words together reminded Zeref of Ophelia, and a new and intriguing idea popped into his head.

When he was still in the Fu tribe, he saw that Ophelia cultivated several types of hemp plants, such as jute and castor beans.

It now seems that she wanted to make her own linen.
