Chapter 422: Chapter 389, The Bones of the Priest_1
The more he pondered, the more doubts filled his mind.
If these bones are from the same corpse from which he obtained the Bone Arm.
Then, the person arranging missions for the Dragon Scale Mercenaries is somehow connected to the orphanage’s underground workshop where Demon Dolls are produced.
If he thought deeper.
Could it be that the person assigning these missions could be in Lyss City?
Or, possibly, even a high-ranking member of the Dragon Scale Mercenaries themselves.
“What’s all this effort for, only to end up with a heap of bones?” Anjia popped her head out, her tone reflecting her disappointment.
Nothing of value can be seen in the abandoned cemetery.
Even the coffins were bereft of any burial accompaniments.
The ruins on this site were virtually barren.
The items they found were worth even less than the potions and scrolls they had wasted.
The rest of the bandits also seemed rather discontent with what they found.
“Clean up the bones and bring them out,” Fang Hao commanded further.
The bandits lifted the bones out.
After cleaning off the filth and yellowish tattered cloth, Fang Hao stored them right in his holding space.
Even if Fang Hao belongs to the Undead faction.
However, before any conflict arises, he did not believe that he would tangle with the church.
But now, having exhumed the grave of the Church’s ‘priest’ and taking the bones for future use,
this development of hostility seems inevitable now.
The matter of these bones requires strict confidentiality.
If word got out, it would unsurprisingly stir up a lot of trouble.
…
Having been so busy, dusk was now approaching.
Fang Hao commanded everyone to wrap things up.
From his holding space, he took out a leather bundle and plenty of hemp ropes, using them to organize and secure all the items they were taking with them.
The Bone Dragon used its Dragon Breath to transform some of the higher-level corpses into White Bone for easy transportation.
Everyone was bustling about.
Fang Hao approached the newly received treasure chest and opened it.
[Obtained: Temple Blueprint (Blue), Stone Carving Workshop Blueprint (Blue), Fine Iron Valkyrie Longsword Blueprint (Purple), Black Iron Construct General Longsword (Green), White Jade Stone Gold Thread Coffin (Purple), Bright Stones x 45, Shadowstones x 15, Warfire Coins x 224.]
Again, a burst of light.
Fang Hao scanned it casually, finding no blueprints or items that particularly amazed him.
[Temple: Stiff Wood x 1200, Stone Bricks x 1250, Detailed Carvings x 350, Cast Iron Pieces x 50, Metal Components x 45, Traces of Prayer x 2, Traces of Deity x 2, Rich Essence x 3]
(Description: This structure allows the establishment of faction-specific deity statues. Additional statues of deities maintaining ‘peaceful’ relationships with the faction can be set up. Deities hostile towards the faction cannot have their statues erected. Building a temple automatically unlocks the statue of the faction’s deity)
Fang Hao was familiar with temples.
It seems temples are a general term, differentiation lies in the deity statue they possess.
In that case, if Fang Hao were to build a temple, the deity statue he would erect would be that of the Immortal Spirit, the God of Undead.
Besides the statue of his own faction’s deity, another deity’s statue can be erected.
As long as it is not hostile to his faction.
Which means he cannot erect the statue of the God of Light.
No wonder the temples in Lyss City housed the statues of both the God of Light and the Goddess of Harvest.
Turns out two statues can be placed in each.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Fang Hao’s mind.
If the construction of a temple would automatically unlock the statue of the God of Undead, that means Fang Hao already has four deity statues.
Which meets the original construction requirements of the orange-tier blueprint,[Wishing Well].
He could try building it when he returns.
Once the Wishing Well is constructed, he can make a wish and obtain the materials he needs.
He proceeded to read the second blueprint.
[Level One Stone Carving Workshop: Wood x 1500, Stone x 2000, Leather x 800, Hemp Rope x 500, Iron x 200, Metal Components x 120.]
(Description: Allows the recruitment of faction-specific soldiers for stone carving and relief art within the building.)
A Stone Carving Workshop, that’s a peculiar name.
But the description clarified its purpose.
It must function similarly to a blacksmith’s shop or a jewelry store.
Within this building, soldiers skilled in stone carving can be recruited. As for their specific attributes, he will have to wait until they are recruited to see.
However, these types of shops have never disappointed Fang Hao in the past.
Although not combat soldiers, the purpose they serve in the territory cannot be replaced by those.
Next up are weapon blueprints.
[Fine Iron Valkyrie Longsword: Stiff Wood x 1, Cast Iron Pieces x 3, Fine Iron x 5, Thick Leather x 1, Essence of Destruction x 1.]
(Description: Exquisitely made as if a piece of fine art, decorative yet sharp)
Fang Hao thought of the longsword carried by the Valkyrie Construct at the mention of a Valkyrie Longsword.
Though the construct wields it with one hand.
The slender blade should be classified as a two-handed sword.
Its corrosion over time has left it tarnished and worn-down.
However, rewards are generally related to mission locations, hence it should be the same longsword.
Moreover, it’s a purple-tier weapon blueprint, representing a good harvest indeed.
[Black Iron Construct General Longsword: Iron x 5, Cast Iron Pieces x 5, Metal Components x 12, Leather x 2.]
(Description: It’s a specially designed longsword weapon for large constructs. Normal soldiers struggle wielding it.)
This longsword leaves no room for guesswork.
Its name indicates that it is the longsword used by Stone Construct Monsters.
When the Stone Construct Monster is completed, it will be equipped with this.
Lastly, there is a purple-tier finished product.
