Chapter 40 Preparation
Looking at Edrick who was kneeling on one knee and solemnly swearing in front of her, she nodded with satisfaction. Edrick's current performance has surpassed the scope of ordinary corpse puppets, and his performance is no different from that of a living person. All this is due to the special abilities Dorothy gained after her promotion.
Now Dorothy can strengthen her control over the corpse ring by consuming the spiritual power of "Inspiration", which can greatly enhance her control over the corpses, allowing her to control them to do various fine movements that were previously impossible, and even control the corpses to speak. Moreover, by consuming more "Inspiration", she can also increase the upper limit of the number of corpses that can be controlled by the corpse ring in a short period of time.
Strengthening the mind and spirit, and thus increasing the control, this is the characteristic possessed by the extraordinary people of "Qi", and such additional strengthening also has consumption.
In order to maintain a high level of control over the corpse puppet to the level where it can speak, Dorothy needs to inject an additional 1 point of "Inspiration" into the corpse puppet's ring, and then this high level of control can be maintained for one day. If she wants to increase the upper limit of the number of corpse puppets she can control, she will need more "Inspiration".
If this continues for a long time, the spiritual energy of "Qi" will inevitably be insufficient, but the changes brought about by the promotion also reflect the storage of spiritual energy.
After being promoted to an Adept, Dorothy's original 10 points of "Inspiration" spirituality changed. They were transformed from 10 points of "storage spirituality" to 5 points of "inherent spirituality".
Once stored spirituality is consumed, it is gone, but inherent spirituality can be slowly restored through rest.
For example, for Dorothy, the spirituality of "Inspiration" has begun to be transformed into a blue bar and MP. Now Dorothy has 5 points of "Inspiration" spirituality that can be automatically restored, but the maximum limit is 5 points.
As for Dorothy's other spiritualities besides "Inspiration", they remain the same. They are storage spiritualities, and the less they are used, the less they are. Correspondingly, extraordinary people on other paths will also convert the corresponding spiritualities into inherent spiritualities. For example, the Thirsty One has 5 points of inherent "Cup".
Looking at the corpse ring in her hand and then at Edrick in front of her, Dorothy smiled slightly. She thought that the time was ripe to take the initiative to cause trouble for the Holy Communion Society.
"The next step is to make some preparations. We need to... leave some injuries on them..."
Looking at the dim light from the gas lamp in the warehouse, Dorothy put her hands behind her back and muttered.
…
Two days later.
It was a morning in Igwinter, just as the sky was getting light, in an apartment building on Nanyanghua Road in the upper city, Gregor, who had just woken up from his sleep, rubbed his blurry eyes, and got up from his bed in the dim light and chill of the early morning. As usual, Gregor got dressed, yawned, opened his door and walked into the living room, but here he saw an unexpected figure.
"Dorothy? Haha...it's strange that you get up so early in the morning."
Looking at the long-haired girl who was sitting on the sofa and having breakfast, Gregor smiled and said with some surprise, usually he would get up earlier than her, and he often complained about her sleepiness, but he didn't expect that she would get up so early today.
Dorothy took a bite of bread, sat on the sofa, glanced at Greg who was standing at the door, and responded easily.
"There are practical classes at school tomorrow, so we need to go there early and gather early."
"Really? Practical classes are good, too. You can move around outside more and not sit in the classroom all the time. The teaching in your school is quite innovative..."
With that, Greg washed up and started to have breakfast with Dorothy. Dorothy finished eating first and said goodbye and left, and Greg also hurried downstairs soon after.
Without taking a carriage, Gregor walked quickly on the relatively quiet streets in the early morning. After walking quickly for more than forty minutes without panting or panicking, Gregor had come out of the residential area and onto the streets that were gradually becoming a little noisy. After wandering around here for about ten minutes, he came to a ten-story building. Judging from the pile of advertisements posted on the building, there were at least three different companies operating here.
Gregor walked straight into the lobby of the high-rise building, walked on the marble floor to the lobby's front desk, and spoke to the gray-haired, bespectacled old lady sitting behind the front desk.
"Good morning, Ms. Ida."
After hearing Greg's words, the old woman who was copying something with her head down raised her head, straightened her eyes, and spoke in an old and breathless voice.
"Good morning, Greg, did you come here on foot? Your home is not close to here, it would be much more convenient to take a carriage."
"Haha, thank you for your concern, but I'm used to exercising more, and this distance is not enough for me to sweat." Gregor said with a smile, and the old woman nodded slowly and continued to speak, then handed over a key.
"Okay, whatever you want. The maintenance on the 8th is tomorrow, so go in from the 6th."
"Mingqi, thank you Ms. Ada."
Picking up the key, Gregor walked to one side of the hall. He did not go up the main staircase, but turned a few corners and walked along a corridor. After counting for a while, he came to an ordinary door, then opened it with the key and entered.
After opening the door, what appeared in front of Gregor was not a normal room, but a long and narrow staircase extending downwards. Gregor walked in and closed the door, then went straight down to a large hall with simple decoration. There were several people dressed like officials coming and going in the hall.
Ignoring other people coming and going, Gregor walked straight to a corner, where there was a row of shelves with various props such as pistols, swords and masks on them. In front of the shelves was a long table, behind which a young man with glasses, gray-brown hair and a gentlemanly temperament was copying something.
"Hey, Brandon!"
Coming to the table, Grego slapped the table and shouted. The young man was so scared that he almost jumped up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Grego clearly.
"Phew...Mr. Meshhos, you almost scared me to death."
"Haha, you're too easily scared, Brandon. You need to work on your concentration, otherwise you won't be able to enter the Hunter class. Oh, and here's my Greg, that's all. No need to do anything else."
Gregor spoke to the young man in front of him with a smile, while the young man named Brandon smiled and shook his head.
"I think it's better to just be a professional. I don't want to join a team. It's just some unrealistic idea."
"Don't you dream of being like your father?"
"It was just a dream in the past. The reality is... my qualities don't meet the standards for joining the team. Now I feel that it's fine to just do what I have on hand. After all, it's a contribution to the bureau, and it's the same everywhere." Brandon said slowly while looking at Greg in front of him, and Greg nodded in understanding.
"You're right... Anyway, no matter where you are, as long as you play your role, it's fine. I'm glad you can see it that way."
Gregor was speaking, and at this moment, a rough voice sounded from a distance.
"Brandon, give me 500 more rounds!"
