YM778.TV Chapter 112 - 112, Skeleton Blacksmith l
The Exquisite Corpse-rejuvenation Coffin was an item he had scavenged from Shadowwind Castle.
No one had died in his territory, so it had never been put to use.
Now that Little You mentioned it, Fang Hao remembered the beautifully crafted wooden coffin tucked away in a corner of the warehouse.
“You want that coffin?” Fang Hao curiously asked.
A broken stone coffin appeared in his mind.
The stone coffin that housed Little You’s body had collapsed halfway, damaging her corpse.
Did her subconscious still want a coffin?
“Can I? If you have other uses for it, then never mind,” Little You hurriedly explained.
“There’s no other use for it. But what use would you have for this wooden coffin?” Fang Hao asked.
“Sir, I am in a formless state, this wooden coffin would benefit me,” Little You answered.
“Alright, if it’s useful to you then you can have it.”
The two of them went to the warehouse, and had the skeleton warriors move some furniture into Little You’s wooden cabin.
Even though she only asked for the corpse-rejuvenation coffin and nothing else, the room seemed empty without anything else in it.
After all, many valuable items had been discovered in the ancient tomb.
[Exquisite Corpse-rejuvenation Coffin (Blue)]
[Category: Corpse-rejuvenation Coffins]
(Description: A corpse-rejuvenation coffin from the Eternal Night Clan. Lying in it makes one instantly tranquil, and it is said to nourish the soul.)
It seemed that the property of nourishing the soul might benefit Little You.
The skeletons then moved the corpse-rejuvenation coffin into Little You’s room.
Little You floated directly into the coffin, even trying to lie down in it.
It was as if she were floating in the middle of the coffin.
It was unclear if this counted as getting in the coffin.
Little You was delighted to receive the corpse-rejuvenation coffin, and her loyalty to Fang Hao increased by 10 points, reaching 90 points.
As for whether or not the corpse-rejuvenation coffin would have nourishing effect on a wandering spirit, that was no longer important.
With everything in order, Fang Hao left Little You’s cabin.
He went to the industrial district to construct the buildings from blueprints he had.
Arriving at the blacksmith’s forge, he opened the Book of Lords and flipped to the building page.
[Tier 1 Blacksmith’s Workshop: Wood 600, Stone 850, Leather 300, Hemp Rope 200, Iron 150.]
Construct!
The construction time for a Tier 1 Blacksmith Workshop is five minutes.
Among the Tier 1 buildings, it takes one of the longest durations.
Five minutes passed.
The Blacksmith Workshop had been constructed and appeared before Fang Hao.
[Tier 1 Blacksmith’s Workshop]
[Recruit Available: Blacksmith]
[Blacksmith: Wriggling Spine 1]
(Note: You can recruit soldiers of the corresponding faction at this build site for iron forging and weapon repairs.)
[Materials Required for Upgrading: Wood 1200, Stone 1500, Leather 500, Hemp Rope 220, Iron 200.]
Its function is the same as that of the tailor’s shop.
It allows you to recruit functional troops. The Blacksmith Workshop serves to recruit blacksmiths for iron forging and repairs.
Having sufficient resources, Fang Hao directly upgraded it to Level 4.
When the Blacksmith Workshop reached Level 5, the materials required changed.
[5th Level Blacksmith’s Shop: Wood 5200, Stone 7300, Hardwood 750, StoneBrick 600, Iron 500, Metal Parts 120, Red Flame Essence 2.]
The consumption of materials increased exponentially.
Fortunately, these materials could be obtained in abundance from the Rejuvenation Spring’s regional channel every day.
This could support his building consumption.
Upgrade.
[5th level Blacksmith’s Workshop]
[Recruit Available: Blacksmith]
[Blacksmith: Wriggling Spine 1]
[Ability: Focus.]
[Focus]: Work efficiency +5%.
(Note: You can recruit troops of this building’s affiliation here for the forging and repair of iron tools and weapons.)
[Upgrade required: 6000 lumber, 7500 stone, 900 hardwood, 1000 stone bricks, 600 iron, 220 metal parts, 4 red flame essence.]
Upgraded to level 5, the blacksmith shop has unlocked new capabilities.
The blacksmith’s work efficiency has increased by 5%.
With the construction completed, the next step is to recruit blacksmiths.
[Blacksmith: Wriggling Spine 1, would you like to recruit?]
Confirm the recruitment.
[A hundred-fold amplification is triggered, 101 skeleton blacksmiths are recruited.]
A flash of light, 101 skeletons wearing shiny leather aprons and holding metal hammers appear in front of Fang Hao.
They also have skeleton bodies.
But compared to the tailor skeleton, the blacksmith’s skeleton is even larger.
In their hollow pupils, a bluish soul flame is flashing.
[Skeleton Blacksmith (Tier 1)]
[Faction: Undead]
[Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Vulnerability to Light.]
[Skills: Focus, Iron Processing.]
[Innate Skills: Level 1 Blacksmith Mastery.]
(Note: Illuminated by a blazing fire, the blacksmith forges metal weapons and tools on the anvil.)
[Iron Processing: Skillfully operates the forge, speeding up the smelting speed of the finished product.]
The forge is used to smelt iron into cast iron blocks.
Now it’s operated by the laborer skeletons.
Afterward, it is handed over to the blacksmiths to operate, which will also improve the speed.
“Lord, we are at your service.” The blacksmiths saluted in unison.
Like the tailors, they all have independent souls, capable of speech and independent thought.
“Welcome everyone.” Fang Hao smiled, then looked at one of the blacksmiths. ‘What’s your name?”
The skeleton blacksmith who was called stepped forward two steps and respectfully said, “My Lord, my name is Coulon.”
“Good, Coulon, from now on you are in charge of the blacksmiths. I will be giving the tasks to you, and you will distribute them.” Fang Hao said softly.
[Undead Clan Blacksmith Coulon’s loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty 90.]
“Thank you for your trust, my lord.” Coulon saluted once again. His expression didn’t change much, but his loyalty increased by 10 points immediately.
“I’m going to build some forges, and when they’re ready you’ll take the place of the laborer skeletons. Repair the equipment in the warehouse as well.” Fang Hao said, while walking and giving instructions.
He immediately went to the forge construction area, increasing the number of forges to 50.
With the previous experience from the tailor, he again built houses for these skeleton blacksmiths, told them they could rest and arranged their work schedules.
The loyalty of all the blacksmiths collectively increased by 5 points again.
After finishing the construction of the blacksmith shop.
Fang Hao started to return to the lord’s mansion.
While walking, a weak voice came from his side, “My Lord, kind human, please let me go.”
In the dim comer shrouded in darkness beyond the reach of the Nightstone’s light, the Gnoll leader, Claw Horror – Nigo, was imprisoned.
The moonlight was hazy.
In the black iron cage, Nigo was bound hand and foot, lying there with injuries all over his body.
He was surrounded by hundreds of skeleton soldiers, all watching Nigo.
Weakness and injuries made Nigo worry that these people had no intention of letting him live.
They were just looking for a way to dispose of him.
“Do you have new information to tell me?” Fang Hao didn’t approach, but asked softly towards the darkness.
“No… no…”
As soon as Nigo answered, and saw Fang Hao turn around to leave, he hurriedly said, “My Lord, I would like to pledge loyalty to you. I can spy for you, really, I will infiltrate and explore all the information for you.”
Hearing Nigo’s words, Fang Hao’s step paused.
Infiltrating as a spy, that’s a good idea..
