This merfolk must have eaten some treasure, granting it the ability to communicate via mental energy. When Zhuiyue found it, they already communicated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, do you think I’d go so far just to rescue some ordinary little merfolk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ocean is truly miraculous—there are treasures like this? If I could eat one too, I could chat with my Zhuitu from now on!” Migen marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, take it below deck, bandage its wounds—merfolk who can communicate are extremely rare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merfolk was taken below deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for safety, knights remained on guard the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the communication-capable little merfolk rescued, today’s maritime intelligence gathering was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grivas ordered the Stormwind to sail toward Huoshandao; once the elemental and magical tides erupted, he and his subordinates resumed their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, each elemental and magical tide could support sixty to seventy people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, besides the knights and their squires, the common soldiers could only take turns experiencing the elemental and magical cleansing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, their progress was visibly apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over ten days, the soldiers’ strength had increased by at least one-third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though progress might slow later as their bodies neared their limits, Grivas was certain they could at least double or triple their physical capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were already strong soldiers who trained daily—if their physical capacity increased two or threefold, that would be an astonishing figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the elemental and magical tides ended, Grivas led everyone back to the Stormwind Coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After anchoring, he ordered Lei Meng and the others to proceed ahead, while he himself claimed to be inspecting the territory and rode Zhuiyue southward along the coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty minutes later, Grivas reached the southernmost edge of the Stormwind Domain, at its border with the Death Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area, where the coast met the Death Mountains, was a double-danger zone—its danger buffs stacked to the max—and thus rarely visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It should be right there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grivas quickly spotted a grove of coconut trees and immediately ordered Zhuiyue to lower altitude, circling above the grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several loops, confirming no danger, he had Zhuiyue land on the sandy shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuiyue, rise again and keep watch—I’ll search the coconut grove for something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the coconut grove had decent visibility and wasn’t an ideal hunting ground for beasts, so Grivas spent over ten minutes inside without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Wisdom Fruit, as expected, was found by Grivas beside a thorny thicket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Wisdom Fruit? Swallowing it grants perfect memory?! Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the fruit, the size of an apple and glowing with purple light, Grivas beamed with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, he carefully placed the Wisdom Fruit in a wooden box and immediately summoned Zhuiyue to begin the return journey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the castle’s parlor, Grivas held the Wisdom Fruit in hand and swallowed it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fragrant aroma filled his nose; it melted instantly on his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the warm stream from the Wisdom Fruit surged toward his brain, Grivas shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was even more pleasurable than when he’d consumed the Crimson Spirit Fruit—utterly intoxicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comfort lasted for over a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later, Grivas opened his eyes again and felt the world around him had become sharply clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were quicker too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like upgrading from an ancient feature phone to a smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the best proof was perfect memory—the effect Grivas valued most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened a book, read a page of roughly a hundred characters at normal speed, then silently recited it in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was astonished to find he remembered every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his memory had improved slightly after becoming a Bronze Knight, it had only been a modest gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect memory had been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, one might achieve perfect memory only upon reaching Gold Knight—far in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, excellent!” Grivas was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a ruler, mental acuity and focus were paramount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation also required mental strength and concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, Captain Lauren reports: a middle-aged man with unusual attire has appeared in the village—he’s likely the Druid you instructed us to watch for!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Old John’s voice came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1051dda8ee2e7c7fad7cfce4d7b2143f85c9518ef1e71ab6817f94cad25baa62","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-78","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-76",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
