Chapter 352: Chapter 345, Deomn Doll (Looking for recommendations, subscriptions.
“Chief, everything went smoothly?” Gray Bear approached Fang Hao for an inquiry.
“Yes, we encountered a monster. Do not approach the tunnel, in case there are any poisonous gases,” said Fang Hao.
The basement was not very spacious.
In the fight, the Fear Devourer spewed its saliva more than once, which lingered in the basement for a while.
While the undead were not afraid, it was uncertain whether Gray Bear and his men would be affected.
It would be very foolish to get poisoned after the fight was over.
Hearing Fang Hao mentioning the presence of poison below, the bandits instantly stepped back several steps.
“Alright, load everything you can take onto the cart and get ready to depart,” Fang Hao didn’t say much more.
“Yes.”
Soon, everything that could be moved out was piled up in the open space outside Stone Castle.
After a simple inspection, everything that needed to be taken was loaded onto the cart, and everyone began to return.
Returning to Gray Bear’s village, Fang Hao thought for a moment and said to Gray Bear: “In the next few days, I’ll send the skeleton soldiers over here. You are responsible for accommodating the skeletons in the Troop Hiding Cave.”
Currently, missions around Lyss City have begun to increase in frequency.
It’s a bit of a hassle to transport the soldiers with the Bone Dragon every time.
Fang Hao planned to station an undead army in Gray Bear’s village without alerting the nearby villagers during the night.
Fang Hao could just use God’s Presence to appear on the battlefield for future battles.
“Well, boss, how many troops are you planning to send?” Gray Bear asked further.
“At least more than 100,000 troops.”
“100,000?” Gray Bear exclaimed in surprise.
Even Lyss City might not have a force of 100,000 troops. Did Fang Hao have that many undead at his disposal?
“Yes, by that time, arrange them into the Troop Hiding Cave. If you stay careful, there should be no problem.”
“Oh, alright.” Once Gray Bear recovered from the shock, he nodded in agreement.
Once everything was assigned, they secured the spoils of the battle onto the Bone Dragon.
And then they began the return journey to their territory.
Fang Hao canceled God’s Presence.
Checking the time, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
After quickly eating something, Black Sword also returned with his troops.
The loot from this fight was a golden chest; he didn’t know what kind of spoils it contained.
“My Lord.” Black Sword respectfully handed over the booties from the fight: a Forgotten Soul, a Shadowstone, and the Arm of Chaplain.
Aside from Shadowstone, which he was familiar with, he wasn’t sure what the other two were for.
Fang Hao received them and continued, “Well, send all these iron implements to the blacksmiths to melt down.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Black Sword agreed and began directing the skeletons to transport the iron tools and damaged equipment brought back this time to the blacksmith’s shop for smelting and repair.
As Black Sword left, Fang Hao’s gaze returned to the golden chest at his feet. He opened it.
“Obtained: A blueprint for a Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robe (green), a blueprint for an Oathbreaker Wristlet (blue), a Demon Doll Note, 17 Soul Crystals, 23 Demon Stones and 202 Warfire Coins.”
Looking at the rewards in the chest, Fang Hao was slightly stunned.
A single chest contained both human Soul Crystals and demonic Demon Stones.
He had never seen such a situation before.
It seemed that the temple was also somewhat connected to demons.
He continued to look at the first piece of blueprint.
“Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robe: Linen cloth 5, spun yarn 5, leather 3.” (“Description: A dedicated outfit made for devout assistant priests.”) Assistant priests are not orthodox priesthood personnel and are mainly responsible for assisting in the temple.
The first person Fang Hao met during his previous visit to the temple in Lyss City was an assistant priest.
From their attributes, they belonged to the category of ordinary villagers.
Only the elderly priest, who had reached Tier 10, was likely to have some powers of the priesthood.
He had also committed to donating clothes to the temple; he wondered if this could serve as an alternative.
It would be much more convenient if he could produce them directly, compared to what the Skeleton Tailor could make.
He would make one later and compare it with the blueprint from the temple.
If they were similar, he would mass produce them himself.
After all, they were for donation, what else could he ask for.
He continued to examine the second item.
“Oathbreaker’s Wristlet: Leather 1, Thick leather 1, Linen cloth 2, spun yarn 5, Mithril 2.”
(“Description: She! Kneeling on thorns, devoutly praying to the endless abyss.”)
The “she” in the description was probably a member of the orphanage in the temple.
She broke her faith and transformed the orphanage into the ghostly place it is now.
In Fang Hao’s opinion, blind belief in anything was wrong.
If you abandon your belief, and then they get angry, it’s not worth it.
He continued to examine the final item, the “Demon Doll Note”.
This book is not a blueprint, but a slightly crumpled notebook.
“Demon Doll Note”
“Type: Special Item”
(“Description: Abook recording the method of making a demon doll. If the materials are collected, a demon doll can perhaps be recreated.”)
Fang Hao frowned slightly.
Lately, why do he keeps getting notes? Did he look like a book lover?
Carelessly flipping open a page, the pages were filled with hand-drawn diagrams and dense lines of text.
Apparently, the author of the notebook had a high level of drawing skills, and the accompanying illustrations were complete.
The page he was reading clearly recorded.
The method of making a demon doll’s head. Fang Hao took a quick glance.
It mentioned that the basic material was the skull of a hero, and on top that an alchemist skilled in demon alchemy would engrave runes.
Below that were alchemical runes that Fang Hao couldn’t see, let alone translate.
The last line also clearly recorded that the higher the hero’s rank, the better the quality of the skull after death.
The stronger the demon doll made will be.
Seeing this note, Fang Hao was dumbfounded.
This author was too amazing.
Whether it’s the puppet doll or any other alchemical creation.
They weren’t perfected in one go, it always required countless experiments, and the gradual accumulation of knowledge from countless failures.
Only then, could the production method be perfected.
Where did this author get so many hero bones for his experiments?
Suddenly, Fang Hao spotted the ‘Arm of the Priest1 nearby, so the person in that secret chamber had already started the production process according to the records from the notes.
Fang Hao continued to flip through the book, noticing a small curse experiment recorded on the final two pages.
‘Fear Devourer’ production.
Damn!!
So the Fear Devourer from the orphanage was also made according to the method in the book.
It seems the requirements for the Demon Doll are too high, and very hard to fulfill.
This person, disguised as an orphanage worker, created the ghastly Fear Devourer.
He carefully packed away the ‘Demon Doll Notes’.
Fang Hao went directly to an open space, intending to create the two blueprints.
To see their style and attributes.
‘Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robe: Linen Cloth 5, Thread 5, Leather 3.’ Produce 1.
‘100-fold amplification triggered, received 101 Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robes.’
A flash of light, and 101 Assistant Priest robes appeared before his eyes.
Fang Hao picked one up to examine it.
‘Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robe’
‘Category: Robe’
‘Defense: Level 1 Defense’
‘Effects: Movement Speed +2%, Bandaging +10%, Midwifery +15%.’
(‘Description: A specialized garment made for the devout assistants of faith.’) Oh…
These bonuses are actually pretty substantial, improving not just movement speed, but also bandaging and midwifery skills.
Looks like it’s really practical.
“Go get Soye.” Fang Hao said to a maid nearby.
“Yes, master.” The maid happily hopped off to find Soye, the tailor.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao started to create the second blueprint.
‘Oathbreaker’s Bracers: Leather 1, Thick Leather 1, Linen Cloth 2, Thread 5, Mithril 2.’
Produce 1.
‘100-fold amplification triggered, received 101 Oathbreaker’s Bracers.’
‘Oathbreaker’s Bracers’
‘Category: Bracers (cannot stack with glove attributes)’
‘Defense: Level 1 Defense’
‘Effects: Magic Recovery +5%, Magic Attack +10%.’
(‘Description: She! Knelt on the thorns, praying devoutly to the endless abyss.’) Turns out it’s equipment for mages.
That’s great!
The equipment of the mages in the territory has always been lagging behind.
Right now, with these bracers, which are indeed extraordinary items, possessing magic recovery and magic attack effects.
They can be used to equip the Undead Mages of the territory.
Fang Hao put on one of the bracers, just as Soye’s voice sounded.
“Sir, you wanted to see me?”
“Yes, look at this priest robe. Is it the same as the one you tailored for the temple last time?” Fang Hao picked up one and handed it to Soye.
The newly made robes and bracers were scattered all around him.
Soye took it and inspected it carefully, “Please wait a moment, sir. I did make a tailored piece already. I’ll bring it here to compare.”
“Sure, go ahead!”
This undead tailor was still as efficient as ever, having crafted a finished garment within a few days.
Soye returned before long.
In his hand was the finished temple outfit.
Upon comparing, the two designs were the same, but batches made by Fang
Hao didn’t have the pattern of the temple on their backs; they were blank.
“Can this pattern be added?” Fang Hao asked.
Soye nodded, “It can be added. If we’re only adding the pattern at the back, it can be completed quickly.”
“Alright, after I have crafted the robes, you assign someone to add both the temple pattern and the Bone Textile Store logo to it.” Fang Hao ordered.
Great, now they could finish quickly.
“Yes, master.”
“By the way, there isn’t any problem with Rebecca’s cheongsam and evening dress, is there?” Fang Hao suddenly thought of the dresses Rebecca had requested.
“Progress has been smooth.”
“That’s good.”
After their discussion, Fang Hao crafted another 200 sets of Assistant Priest Robes and handed them to Soye for him to take back and add the patterns.
Meanwhile…
Bloodthirst Mountains, Rockhead Tribe, the Clan Leader’s hall.
In the hall built of boulders and logs, five big Trolls and a man clad in armor were sitting.
The Troll in the central throne was Bagath, the clan leader of the Rockhead Tribe. He was a blue-tier, 6th grade hero.
Clothed in a ‘Troll Heavy Armor’ suit, his forehead painted with white stone powder.
The Rockhead Trolls would paint their eyebrows with a kind of white stone powder, as a testimony to their steadfast will.
Even though this display of will seemed laughable to outsiders, it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the Rockhead Tribe members and had cemented them as the second largest Troll tribe in the Bloodthirst Mountains.
The strongest competitor to the Bloodthroat Tribe.
But that was all relative, because in terms of resources, the Rockhead Tribe simply couldn’t fight the Bloodthroat Tribe.
However, everything had been pretty peaceful until their failure against the Undead. Since then, various Troll tribes had started to harbor discontent for the Blood throat Tribe.
Bagath saw an opportunity and began contacting several other relatively powerful tribes in secret.
He planned to overthrow the rule of the Bloodthroat Tribe.
Bagath and the other four clan leaders had already assembled an army, planning to march against the Blood throat Tribe the very next day.
“It’s settled then, go back and gather your forces. At that time, we will overthrow the Bloodthroat Tribe in one fell swoop.”
