Chapter 167 Sophie's Suspicion

At this point, Zeref couldn't help but chuckle.

The Holy City only has so much wealth, and Ophelia has already developed the skill of sugar making.

If she were to learn weaving, the Fu tribe alone might not be able to accommodate her.

Someone as capable as her deserves a wider world; perhaps one day she will come to the Holy Capital.

"Go to the pterosaur clan's weaving workshop, get a loom, and send it to Beast City to give to Maya."

"Yes."

"What about the purple crystal?" Jiu Ying pressed.

Zeref raised an eyebrow. "Why should Klein fawn over her?"

Sophie couldn't hear clearly from outside, but she vaguely heard the words "Beast City Loom".

She felt that something had changed since Zeref returned from the City of Beasts, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Zeref, who used to dislike wearing long linen robes because of the heat, now wears one everywhere he goes.

Aside from essential areas like the head, neck, and wrists, other areas of skin should be kept out of the way.

In the Holy City, this has almost become an anomaly among males.

Sophie had also wondered if Rafe had experienced something in the City of Beasts.

But no matter how much she inquired, Zeref remained tight-lipped about the affairs of the City of Beasts.

The only person who went with him was Jiu Ying, who was also his confidante.

She couldn't get anything out of him.

This made Sophie even more curious.

She returned home lost in thought, sat in her room, and stared blankly into space.

Brada, who had come looking for her, saw her younger sister looking lost in thought and asked, "Did you go to Zeref's again today? Has he not seen you yet?"

Brada was quite helpless about her sister's persistence.

Zeref must be blind to look down on his noble sister.

"Sister, if you ask me, although Zeref is good-looking, the other males in the Holy City are not bad either. Why don't we find someone else?"

Hearing her brother say that, Sophie immediately retorted. "I don't want it, brother, I want Zeref."

"I don't want any other partner besides him."

In the Holy Capital, because the families are all of high status, most families practice monogamy.

Only in very rare families will polyandry occur.

Seeing that her sister was persistent, Brada didn't dare to say anything more, otherwise the two of them would probably get angry and quarrel again.

"The head of the Pterodactyl family has already acknowledged your engagement. Your union is a fait accompli. You will be with Zeref sooner or later. What are you still worried about?"

"Brother, I feel like something's not right."

"Why don't you go to Beast City for me and find out what happened to Zeref there?"

Brada thought his sister was overthinking things. "What could a male like him do in the City of Beasts?"

"He wouldn't possibly team up with a lowly female, would he?"

Seeing his younger sister's sullen face, Brada's expression turned serious.

"Did you find something?"

"No, but I still feel a little uneasy. Brother, please run the errand for me." Sophie tugged at Brada's sleeve and pleaded softly.

The man smiled indulgently. "Okay, I promise you."

"Then brother, you should go quickly."

Brada sighed, "You have to wait until I finish what I'm doing."

Sophie chuckled and shoved Brada out the door.

"Then you should hurry up and take care of it so that we can set off as soon as possible."

Brada shook his head helplessly and left.

With Zelev's help, the loom was delivered to the Fu tribe ten days later.

Meanwhile, Ophelia was inspecting her bow and arrows.

A few days ago, among the newly joined males in the tribe, she discovered a skillful young male named Lantai.

Ever since seeing the wooden shovels and rakes made by Lantai, Ophelia had a bold plan in mind.

She took out the bow and arrows she had bought from the system shop and had Lan Tai learn to replicate them. Since there were no fine iron arrowheads, she had the male use sharpened stones as substitutes.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Lan Tai made an identical bow and arrow.

Except for the arrows, it's almost a 100% accurate reproduction.

"Lantai, you're pretty good." Ophelia tested the bow and arrow in her hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"By the way, what material is your bowstring made of?"

Seeing Ophelia's satisfied expression, Lantai was also delighted to have received affirmation.

"They use the tendons of the prey, which are both elastic and not easily broken."

Ophelia tried it out, and although the wooden arrows were not as powerful as those produced by the system, they were much better than those of the Goat Clan.

Males have an innate love for weapons.

Taylor and Klein's eyes lit up when they saw the bow and arrow.

Ophelia looked at them. "Would you like to give it a try?"

"it is good."

"can."

So Ophelia patiently explained to them how to use a bow and arrow.

After they shared their opinions, the two gradually became more familiar with each other.

Klein even shot an arrow at a wild pigeon resting in a tree.

Seeing the pigeons on the ground, Ophelia gave her an approving look. "Klein, not bad aim."

"It's alright," Klein said with a modest smile.

Taylor, not to be outdone, shot an arrow that struck a tree trunk a hundred meters away.

Ophelia went over to check and found that the entire arrow had been shot into the tree trunk.

Taylor stepped forward and used some force to pull the line off the tree trunk.

Klein reached out and touched the arrow hole in the tree trunk; his eyes flickered.

"This thing is incredibly powerful."

"If it hits a person..." Although they won't die, they will be seriously injured.

If it hits a vital spot, like the heart or head, it would likely kill instantly.

Klein stared nervously at the bow and arrow in his hand. "Ophelia, such a powerful tool must not be known to anyone else."

Taylor and Klein's gazes instantly fell on Lan Tai.

Lantai knew the power of such a bow and arrow ever since he created it.

He met the intense gazes with composure. "Rest assured, now that I have chosen to join the Fu tribe, I will not betray it."

"No, you must swear to the Beast God that you will not reveal this matter." Klein never trusted people's hearts.

Taylor pursed his lips; he meant the same thing.

Lantai looked at Ophelia.

Ophelia pondered for a moment before speaking. "I have some other things here. As long as you can guarantee that they won't be leaked, you can study them in the future."

As she spoke, Ophelia took a crossbow out of her basket.

Then, in front of the three people, he pulled the switch, and three tiny arrows shot out quickly.

The speed was so fast that all three males widened their eyes.

Lantai's gaze fell on the hen in Ophelia's hand, and he was very excited.

It's amazing that such a small thing can fire three arrows at once.

He was eager to know the underlying principles.

He had always enjoyed tinkering with strange and unusual things since childhood, and was not keen on hunting.

Therefore, he was not liked by his original tribe, so he chose to join the Fu tribe.

He is now absolutely certain that joining the Fu tribe was the right choice.

"Okay, I'm willing to swear."

Following Klein's instructions, Lantai swore an oath to the Beast God.

Once an oath is made, it must be kept, or one will be punished by the Beast God.

Ophelia was satisfied and tossed the crossbow into his arms. "Take it and study it. I hope you can finish it soon."
