Chapter 360: Mineral Veins
In the blacksmith shop, Crown placed the spirit of the monster into the weapon, infused it with life energy, and activated the weapon.
A ferocious wolf soul appeared, and its vigorous and wild howl echoed. On the sword, tiny blue electric lights flashed, and it had lightning elemental damage.
He engraved his mark an inch below the throat of the long sword, and now the weapons delivered to Rivegaz and the other man were finally ready.
He felt the skills retained by the spirit, three in total.
The first one, Wild Howl, accelerates the speed of the weapon holder by about 50% when released actively, lasting for one minute.
This is considered a very powerful skill. With such a high burst, it can basically solve any battle that can be solved. The stronger the user's speed base, the more terrifying the effect.
If he could get his hands on this weapon against some squishy enemies, it would be a massacre.
The second Wolf of Vengeance can summon the sealed wolf soul to fight, and the wolf soul lasts for three minutes.
He used some Sunfire Liquid and a drop of Sun Essence to completely purify the wolf soul. The wolf soul's strength has now reached the fourth level, and it possesses a high level of wisdom, making it a very good helper.
The last skill is called Bloodthirsty Fang. The weapon can absorb blood and transform it into the holder's physical strength and life source, which is suitable for long-term battles.
The spirit of this weapon is the wolf soul, and he named it "Sun Chaser"; the other is a one-handed hammer, the spirit of which is a unicorn rhino, and the special effects of the weapons are also quite good.
Both weapons are stronger than Crown's Thunderfury. After all, this is the result of him pushing his forging skills to the limit. It is not surprising that the weapons he forged have stronger special effects.
He also made an exquisite scabbard, into which he mixed some copper essence.
The scabbard's metal formula is unique and can withstand the erosion of lightning elements.
"These two guys from Rivegaz made a lot of money. I definitely did my best."
Klauen muttered to himself as he put away his weapons. Now he just had to wait for the owner to pay the balance. This would make his business known. If he could receive more orders for soul-infused weapons, he might be able to push his forging skills to the extreme.
Improving forging skills will also have a significant bonus in combat.
In addition, he needed to make another weapon for himself, as Thunder Fury could no longer keep up with his progress.
When Rivergaz comes to pick up the goods, he will ask him to help purchase the spirits, and the price can be negotiated.
He planned to make himself a soul-infused weapon with the Zhuxie talisman. Zhuxie had a special damage bonus against dark creatures, and this talisman would surely shine in the future.
When the blacksmithing skills of Del and others are further improved, he will pass on this symbol and equip his own forces first.
After finishing the orders, Crown came to the warehouse. Although it had been expanded several times, various metal ingots were piled up like mountains. He had not come here to devour the essence of metal for a long time.
During the war with the cultists, all the metal was used as military supplies, and then an accident at the mine delayed the progress of smelting the metal.
He had always wondered how powerful it would be if he could create a spirit-controlling clone entirely with metal essence.
But it's just something we can think about. The metal essence consumes too much resources. It's not possible and unnecessary at the moment.
He only needs to cover his clone with a thick layer of metal essence armor to meet most of his needs.
Now the speed of devouring the metal essence is much faster than before. It only took Crown more than three hours to devour all the metal ingots piled up in the warehouse, leaving only a pile of residue on the ground.
Del walked in and said with a smile, "Sir, do we need to increase the intensity of metal smelting tasks in the future?"
"No need, just smelt normally." Clown glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nick went to the mansion to look for you, but he couldn't find you. Madam sent to ask if you were here. The carriage is waiting outside."
Unconsciously, Del changed from addressing Nick as "Your Excellency" to calling him by his first name.
'What could it be?'
Crown wondered if it was urgent, Nick would come straight to him.
"My work is done. You will collect the weapons and deliver them to the mansion in the evening."
Crown walked out of the blacksmith shop, and Del took two quick steps forward and opened the door of the carriage attentively.
After he got on the carriage, Del told the driver: "Go back to your Excellency's residence."
"drive!"
The carriage moved smoothly and briskly on the wide road, and Crown summoned a golden wall.
[Spirit Controlling Technique: 12345/30000; Level 4]
After his Spirit Controlling Technique advanced to the fourth stage, the rate of increase in his proficiency slowed down. Although he still used Spirit Controlling extensively, his proficiency only increased by more than 8,000 points in a few months.
However, because he did not deliberately spend time on this skill, the Golden Light Mantra and the breathing method are still the top priority. Advanced to the sixth level is the most important thing for him at this stage.
When they returned to the living room of the mansion, Eliza was chatting with Nick.
Seeing him come back, Eliza smiled sweetly, stood up and said, "I have something else to do, you guys chat."
She needed to step aside in case they were talking about academic affairs and it would not be appropriate for her to be present.
Clown nodded slightly, sat in her previous seat, and said:
"Are there any difficult problems?"
Nick laughed. "Isn't it a good thing? There is good news from the mining area. A cold jade vein has been discovered and a large amount of raw ore has been mined."
Clown raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"It's a good thing indeed, it's worth a drink, call Fanny in the evening and we'll get together."
If he discovers the mineral vein, he can obtain cold jade continuously, and then he will have the materials to build the cornerstone of the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.
After gathering a set of cornerstones, the construction of the castle can begin. He is determined to build an impregnable nest.
"No problem, you have to show off your cooking skills. I haven't eaten your delicious food for a long time."
Nick agreed. He paused, as if he was considering the question. After a few seconds, he asked, "How much do you need cold jade? How much can you eat?"
He wanted to estimate the workload of the miners and see if it was necessary to recruit more workers to go down to the mine.
"There is no upper limit, you can go ahead and mine. But now that we have discovered the mineral vein, the purchase price needs to be renegotiated. You can discuss it with William."
Of course, bargaining should be left to professionals.
Nick nodded: "Let's talk about the dinner now. Send the servant to inform Fanny."
Crown nodded and said to the assistant butler behind him, "Lord, take Mr. Nick to the study and arrange for someone to invite Ms. Fanny to attend the dinner tonight."
Lord, wearing a neat suit, stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Sir Nick, please follow me."
In the lounge, Eliza was visualizing the Golden Light Mantra. After she discovered the powerful effect of the Golden Light Mantra, she used most of her fragmented time to visualize it. She was the third most diligent in visualizing the mantra among many Tao Seed holders.
The most diligent one is the Giant Bear of the North. After completing his daily tasks, Arcturus spends most of his time in meditation. His growth cycle has been significantly shortened. Although he is not yet an adult, his size is already as big as an adult giant bear.
According to Crown's estimation, in a few months, or at most half a year, the bear cubs will reach the third level.
In just one year, he was able to reach the third level from an ordinary creature, which proved that Arcturus had quite good talent.
The second most diligent person is Fanny. After losing her father, the female pastor seemed to spend all her time improving her own abilities after work.
Sensing someone entering the room, Eliza quickly ended her visualization: "Are we done discussing this?"
Clown smiled and nodded, then sat beside her and said:
“Yes, it is good news for us, but it will be an additional fixed expense in the future.
William will report the transaction to you, remember to pay Nick on time.
Also, we need a set of castle drawings for reference, and the preliminary work of castle construction can be carried out. "
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Eliza’s eyes curved into crescents: “Good news, I can ask my aunt for help with the castle blueprints. There are several excellent castle architects staying in Hamers.
We are going to celebrate tonight, and I will inform William later to have an extra meal."
During this period, seeing the increasing amount of Golden Spirit Coins every day, she had sighed countless times, it turns out that making money can be so easy!
Now that she has such an efficient way to make money, she is completely relieved. From now on, she will not worry about the Golden Spirit Coins, which is simply robbing money.
Although building a castle is expensive, it is completely affordable, and she plans to design the castle to be more solid and luxurious.
"I have invited Nick and Fanny to the dinner party. I will show you my cooking skills tonight. You haven't tasted my cooking skills yet. This time I will let you see the highest level of cooking."
"Oh, I'll wait and see."
Although Eliza felt that it was not a decent thing for a fifth-level transcendent to cook, she did not dissuade him. Instead, she had a little expectation.
The dinner started at dusk, and Clown also notified Del, Janice, Melissa and others to attend. Anyone who owned a Dao Seed in Hammers City was invited.
He still owed Janice two meals, so he took this opportunity to pay her back.
He made four dishes in total, one for each person.
When the crystal pork elbow, grilled grouper, grilled steak and honey toast were served, everyone in the restaurant swallowed unconsciously.
The aroma of the food alone conquered everyone. No one spoke, only the sound of people chewing food could be heard.
After the dinner, everyone chatted for a while and then left, but Nick and his wife stayed.
In the study, Fanny said excitedly, "Crown, I want to ask you for a favor."
Crown smiled and said, "Please tell me. If I can help, I will."
The other party is a Dao Seed owner, and the relationship between them is more than that of ordinary comrades-in-arms, so extending a hand of friendship is inevitable.
"I feel like I'm on the edge of the silver level now. As you know, the sublimation array requires a large amount of mithril.
I used to think that I still had a long time to advance, so I wasn’t very active in buying Mithril, and I didn’t buy it when the price was low.”
"Haha," Clown laughed and said, "No problem. I fully support you. How long do you estimate it will take to reach the third level of perfection? How much mithril do you still need?"
If the opponent advances successfully, he can gain more proficiency every day, and at the same time gain a more powerful ally, which is a double happiness.
Eliza congratulated with envy:
"Congratulations, I wonder when I can achieve the silver rank."
"You and Lord Crown are together, achieving Silver is a sure thing, it won't be difficult," Fanny thought for a moment and said, "I think I can polish myself to the limit in one to two months. The power of the Golden Light Mantra is too strong. I often feel the wonderful feeling of my life source constantly increasing.
I am still short of twenty pounds of mithril. The demand for mithril has increased dramatically, and I can no longer buy goods from the Brotherhood in Rhine City."
Clown calculated quickly in his mind that the most important thing at the moment was to advance to the sixth level. The Breath of the Flame Dragon was only a little over 10,000 points away from proficiency upgrade, while the Golden Light Spell required more than 20,000 points. As long as these two skills could be advanced, he would naturally succeed.
If everything goes well, it will take him about twenty days to advance. With his current alchemical ability, it will take him more than a month to collect twenty pounds of mithril.
He calculated the time required and said, "The gap in mithril is too large. I need time to refine it. About two and a half months."
Fanny nodded: "Well, the timing is just right. Thank you in advance."
Nick smiled and said, "Thank you very much. We will definitely buy it at the current market price."
"You're welcome. The stronger you are, the safer everyone will be," Crown waved his hand.
After chatting for a while, Nick and his wife said goodbye and left.
Eliza said jokingly:
"How can you raise 20 pounds of mithril in two and a half months? As the spiritual concentration in the world continues to rise, it will be easier for transcendents to advance. Those third-order peak transcendents who are qualified will try their best to achieve the silver rank, so the gap in mithril will be very large."
She was surprised to hear that twenty pounds of mithril could be produced in two and a half months. She wondered in her heart whether the other party had a hidden treasury. Otherwise, where did they get so much mithril? This thing should be a hot commodity that is not easy to buy even with Gold Spirit Coins.
Clown said: "I am still a good alchemist. Refining mithril is no problem for me."
When he becomes a sixth-rank transcendent, he can take the time to improve his alchemy skills and upgrade them to the next level. The speed of refining mithril will be greatly improved.
I feel like you know everything. Eliza didn't know how to answer for a moment, she laughed and said: "The effect of visualizing the Golden Light Mantra in strengthening the origin of life is very outstanding. If nothing unexpected happens, among those who obtain the Golden Light Dao Seed, many people will be able to achieve the Silver Rank.
In this case, there will be a huge shortage of mithril. I think we should inform them and make plans early."
She knew very well that her husband would not waste a lot of energy on refining mithril, so she made this suggestion.
Clown nodded slightly and asked:
"How much mithril do you have in your hands?"
If your wife has mithril, you can take some out to use as an emergency measure.
"I don't have mithril. This resource is a scarce commodity. My family didn't give me this scarce resource when I married into the family."
