The eyes of the goldsmith, burning with the azure soul flame.
“Well, welcome to the team.” Fang Hao looked at the lead skeleton, “What’s your name?”
“My Lord, my name is Luke.” The leading skeleton goldsmith replied.
“Great, Luke, you are now the team leader of the goldsmiths. Any tasks will be given to you and then you will allocate them.” Fang Hao, as usual, selected a team leader.
This also made it convenient for him to supervise, without having to remember so many names.
“Yes, master, we are at your service.”
[Skeleton Goldsmith Luke’s loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 85.]
“Um.” Fang Hao nodded, and started to check the goldsmith’s attributes.
[Skeleton Goldsmith (Tier 1)]
[Faction: Undead]
[Racial Features: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Vulnerable to Light.]
[Skills: Fine Repair, Precision Manufacturing.]
[Fine Repair: Repairs jewelry, restoring durability.]
[Precision Manufacturing: Specializes in the creation of small precision crafts.]
[Innate Skills: Level One Goldsmith Mastery]
(Note: From clothes accessories to weapon ornaments, everything involves the works of goldsmiths. Integrating art into life and filling life with art is what every craftsman pursues.)
The role of a goldsmith is to produce various crafts.
Be it rings, necklaces, insignias that nobles adore, or a king’s crown, all come within the scope of a goldsmith’s work.
“Repair these two pieces.” Fang Hao removed the Mindful Necklace and Flame Ring.
He had been wearing these two items for a month, so today is a good time to get them fixed.
“Okay, my Lord, they will be repaired by tomorrow morning.” Luke responded.
“Alright, you take a look around the territory and see what needs to be done, then report back to me,” Fang Hao continued.
There were over a hundred of them, they can’t just sit around doing nothing.
They had to see what needed to be done so the tasks could be assigned properly.
“Understood, my Lord.”
After delegating tasks, Fang Hao built houses for the skeleton goldsmiths, told them they could rest, and scheduled their working hours.
After receiving an increase in loyalty from a group of goldsmiths, Fang Hao left them.
He was now left with three construction blueprints.
They were for the Hero Altar, Smelting Furnace, and God of Deception Statue.
He first arrived at the statue area.
He chose to build the statue of God of Deception two meters away from the Slaughter God Statue.
A blue glow emerged which gradually formed an outline that was somewhat robust.
When the glow dissipated, there stood a tall thin man holding a mask.
[God of Deception Statue (Blue)]
[Types: Special Building]
[Effects: Success rate of speech +30% (advantage), extra +10% for the opposite sex (this effect only works for the leader of the power)].
(Description: The God of Deception has blessed the territory’s leader and gives ‘deception and cunning’ to those with ulterior motives.)
The God of Deception actually only provides one effect.
The ability to express oneself eloquently.
In the future, regardless of what you say, the credibility given by the listener towards you will increase by 30%, it also has an extra effect on those of the opposite sex.
So, it’s like this world’s godfather of deceivers.
When the deceiver becomes a god, that is quite impressive.
You can say this is the most useless statue in Fang Hao’s territory.
There are either skeletons or contract-bound heroes and slaves in the territory.
Who would he deceive? Does typing in the regional channel count as speech? Otherwise, this statue would be totally useless.
Even if it’s useless, Fang Hao couldn’t dismantle it.
It was the third statue.
As long as he builds one more statue, he will meet the prerequisites of the Wish Fountain blueprint.
Then, he could make a wish in the Wish Fountain and get the materials he needs.
Right now, he wants Dragon Crystal so he could increase the number of bone dragons to an intimidating number, so no one dares to annoy him.
After building the statue, Fang Hao moved on.
He chose to build the Hero Altar two meters to the left of the Merit Training Ground.
[Hero Altar: Hard Wood 5500, Stone Bricks 5000, Iron 2200, Traces of Prayer 20, Divine Trace 10, Perfect Essence 30.]
The Hero Altar was built amidst a golden light.
[Hero Altar (Orange)]
[Types: Special Building]
[Ability: Resurrect.]
[Resurrect: Living Traces 1, Mithril 20, Faction Materials 20, Warfire Coins 2000. (Conversion, Creation, Summoning, etc. hero units cannot be resurrected.)]
[Resurrect]: It can resurrect hero units of this faction. (Souls that are forbidden or destroyed cannot be resurrected.)
(Description: Here, you can resurrect your brave subordinates. Of course, there are always some ways in this world to imprison and destroy your soul.
Therefore… beware of those who manipulate the dead.)
With this built, fallen heroes can be resurrected in the future.
The last building left was a Smelting Furnace.
Fang Hao didn’t plan to build this in his territory.
He planned to cluster furnace factories in Frostwind Mountain Range, and in the next couple of days, he planned to recruit a large number of skeleton blacksmiths to work in the factories in Frostwind City.
Within his territory, only the blacksmith who repairs and forges equipment was needed.
After all the hustle and bustle concluded, it was late.
Anjia and Lizardmen hero had strolled around the territory a large circle, covered each area within the territory.
“My Lord” Seeing Fang Hao, Demitrija saluted again.
“Okay, there’s nothing special in the territory. Just keep in mind not to disturb Scholar Nelson when he’s working in the Viscera Museum after closing hours,” Fang Hao said softly.
“Understood. I will respect the rules of the territory.” Demitrija replied.
Demitrija’s reply was very bland.
It made Fang Hao look at him again, because he seemed to have no curiosity or fear about the many undead in the territory.
“Did you have contact with the undead before?” Fang Hao asked.
“No, my Lord.”
“Don’t you feel curious about the undead here?” Fang Hao continued.
“Not really,” Demitrija pondered his words, “Inheritance and continuation are all different ways to continue to guard our beliefs. If the day were to come when I am to die, I might choose to become undead too, to continue my duty.”
I see.
Is the faith of the Lizardman so unwavering?
“Well, perhaps you’re right,” said Fang Hao as the two of them reached a spot not far from the Lord’s Mansion, “I will build a mansion for you here. There are Nightstone chandeliers and furniture in the warehouses.”
Fang Hao flipped the Book of Lords, built a house and upgraded it to level six.
When reaching level 5, the wooden house was already upgraded to a two-story stone building.
“How is it? Is that the architectural style over at your place?” Fang Hao asked. “Thankyou, my Lord. I only remember that the place I lived was quite damp and most of the buildings were made of stone bricks,” Demitrija replied softly. “Okay, go in and take a look. If you need anything, you can move it in. You should also get some rest early.”
Demitrija nodded, took his weapon, and walked directly into the house.
