Chapter 377: Chapter 368, Bloody Mountain Range Map_2
Fang Hao handed the notebook to Nelson, and continued, “Mr. Nelson, look at this.”
Nelson accepted it, then directly flipped open the notebook, and began to seriously evaluate its contents.
“Alchemy array, looks like it’s used for the construction of some kind of puppet – both alchemy and puppetry are covered, a lot of rather advanced knowledge is involved.”
Nelson continued to talk as he looked through the notebook.
The Undead have endless years, they have ample time to explore and learn many subjects.
Even if they aren’t experts, they would’ve certainly been exposed to more than others.
“Yes, I found this in a basement of an abandoned orphanage, it records the method of making a Demon Doll.”
Fang Hao didn’t conceal it either and told Nelson whatever he knew.
Nelson silently listened and understood why Fang Hao was collecting the limbs of the deceased heroes.
He’s preparing to create the Demon Doll mentioned in this notebook.
“That’s not a bad idea, it can greatly increase your personal safety.” Nelson also agreed with the creation of the Demon Doll.
Cough, cough!!
Fang Hao lightly coughed twice, then continued, “Mr. Nelson, do you think you can make this Demon Doll?”
After all, his time and experiences are limited.
If he was to study this notebook himself, he would need to start learning Alchemy from scratch – something that obviously can’t be achieved in a short period of time.
As for Nelson, he seems to be more suited for the task of making the Demon Doll.
Not only is he erudite, but also skilled in dealing with and creating corpses.
If Nelson is interested in this, giving it to him to study would be the best outcome.
But, Nelson had just left the Viscera Museum and Fang Hao is already assigning him a new task.
Which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
“No problem, this knowledge derived from Alchemy studies is very valuable. I can study it when I go back, and see if I can make the Demon Doll,” Nelson didn’t refuse, even showing great interest in the contents of the notebook.
[The Corpse Witch – Nelson’s loyalty to you has increased by 2, current loyalty is 87.]
The moment Nelson agreed.
The loyalty value had increased directly by two points.
Nelson’s time as part of his territory was the longest, but his loyalty was the slowest to grow.
Each point was very important.
The Alchemy notebook, notes that contain specialized knowledge.
For outsiders like Fang Hao, it might be of little use.
To alchemy researchers however, this kind of notes is a priceless treasure.
Even if they aren’t interested in the Demon Doll, they can gain inspiration and open new doors just by studying the recorded knowledge.
Not only has he handed the notebook over, but loyalty has also unexpectedly increased.
A truly unexpected gain.
“That’s great.” Fang Hao’s face lit up with joy as he continued, “When I have the time, I plan on learning alchemy too.”
“Lord, if you are interested in alchemy, you can begin by learning some entrylevel knowledge. We have ample time to study slowly.” Nelson continued.
In Nelson’s mind, Fang Hao’s transformation ritual was only a matter of time.
The Undead have endless years, plenty of time to explore subjects of their interest.
“Well, alright, I will start from the beginning,” Fang Hao nodded and said.
The two chatted for a while longer.
Eira came to call Fang Hao for a meal, Nelson returned to the Viscera Museum to study the notebook in his hands.
After eating breakfast.
Fang Hao sat in the hall, looking at the somewhat nervously bowing Rabbit Woman below.
This was Eira, chosen by Fang Hao based on his criteria, a Rabbit Woman who could read and knew some herbology.
She was to study “Terry’s Herbology Notebook”.
In this world even if alchemy potions existed.
When most residents got injured, they relied on the auxiliary priests of the temple and their herbology knowledge.
“What’s your name? How old are you?” Fang Hao looked at the Rabbit Woman below.
The maid was wearing a black and white maid outfit, with a melon- shaped face and a pair of grey rabbit ears.
She was rather thin and looked like a child who hasn’t yet matured.
“Lord, I’m called Red Fruit, I’m 19 years old,” she lowered her head in response, while taking a quick peek at him.
She was one of the last batches of maids bought back.
She was always responsible for doing sanitation work outside, so she had fewer chances to see Fang Hao.
But she often heard from other maids, their Lord was relatively easy-going.
19 years old?
She wasn’t short for a girl her age just a tad thin.
She felt a bit too young.
“You’re called Red Fruit? Who named you that, why are you named after a fruit?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
There’s a fruit called the Red Fruit.
And it’s, actually, not very tasty.
“Master, I made up the name myself,” Red Fruit replied in a quiet voice.
Red Fruit didn’t have parents, and from birth, she had difficulty filling her stomach.
Before, when she was particularly hungry, she would run into the forest and find a type of red fruit to eat.
Although it tastes astringent and sour now, at that time, it was the most delicious fruit she had ever eaten.
Also, it could fill her stomach.
Later, she learnt the fruit was named Red Fruit, so she took up the same name for herself.
She hoped that in the future she could eat this fruit every day.
“Well, it is indeed a nice name. Do you know about herbs and also know how to read?”
Hearing Fang Hao’s praise, Red Fruit instantly looked delighted.
She answered, “Master, I’m familiar with some herbs, and I do know how to read.”
“Good, I have a book here about Temple Herbology, you should study it,” Fang Hao continued.
Herbology cannot match the effectiveness of Alchemy potions.
But it has its own uses.
The assistants within the temple would use Herbology to treat the city’s residents for illnesses.
He might not need to set up a temple, but he could open pharmacies in various cities to increase the survival rates of the townsfolk.
“Yes, Master.” The maid took a step forward and took the notebook.
“Alright, you can go now. Soak in the hot springs more, and eat more meat,” Fang Hao instructed. Being too skinny wasn’t good either.
“Thankyou, Master, I will take note.”
Red Fruit bowed again and slowly exited the room.
Standing outside the door, Red Fruit took deep breaths of the air.
After calming herself for a while, she looked at the notebook in her hand, excitedly starting to run toward her quarters.
After seeing Red Fruit off,
Fang Hao spent the whole day cooped up in his room.
He took out several books about magic.
Reading while recording important knowledge in his notes.
He did this to ensure that when he needed it, he could find it quickly.
Instead of flipping through each page again.
In a blink of an eye, it was 3 p.m.
Ding!
Suddenly, the Book of Lords emitted a notification sound.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords to check and saw a message from Xu Yang.
“Brother Fang Hao, I’ve got the map. Do you still want it?”
“Deal!” Fang Hao replied directly.
“Okay, Brother Fang Hao, I will leave with my people tonight. Is it convenient to make the trade now?” Xu Yang continued.
It seemed Xu Yang was in a rush.
“Yes, I’ll have someone prepare the equipment. Tell me about the situation of the Trolls. Have they started the war?” Fang Hao continued.
There’s plenty of equipment in the warehouse, and he didn’t need anyone to help with the preparations.
He needed to use this opportunity to see what the other side was like.
There was a brief silence on the other end of Xu Yang’s call, then a message came through.
“The Rockhead Tribe has led the rest of the Troll tribes and has started to fight against the Bloodthroat Tribe. The war is brutal. If we don’t leave, we are the next ones to die.”
“They’ve already started the war? Who’s winning?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“The Rockhead Tribe’s people are fighting their way to the Bloodthroat Tribe’s stronghold, and they’re likely to reach there the day after tomorrow for the final battle.”
The battles between Trolls are direct head-on confrontations.
Once a melee starts, it doesn’t stop until one side is wiped out.
Despite the Troll alliance led by the Rockhead Tribe fighting their way to the Blood throat stronghold,
Both sides have suffered severe casualties.
Similarly, the Rockhead Tribe also faces many problems.
Xu Yang is certain that once they reach Bloodthroat for the final battle,
Clan Leader Bagath will definitely have him and the other humans turned into a stew to feed the Troll army.
That’s why he plans to leave tonight.
“Alright, I have put it up for trade, you can proceed,” Fang Hao said.
“Thankyou, Brother Fang Hao,” Xu Yang immediately thanked him.
