Moreover, he possesses a second option to fulfill the heart's mission.

One path leads to alliance while the other veers toward enmity.

Through Nelson's introduction, Fongo discerned that transcending the barriers of ethnicity and fostering mutual assistance would be more prudent.

Very well, let us temporarily entrust this heart to your care, and at the appropriate time, we shall explore methods to restore it.

Funha resolved to undertake the heart's task.

Understood, my lord, responded Nelson, as he carefully stored the heart's earn.

After all, a pulsating heart resting within the lord's estate could indeed be rather unsettling.

By placing it in Nelson's safekeeping, many complications could be avoided.

Once all matters were settled, arrived to announce that dinner was ready.

After the meal, Fongghao elevated the levels of the underground cemetery, burial ground, Hall of the Dead, and Necromancer's Tower to six, aligning them with the Lord's estate.

Only after ensuring everything was in order did Fong Ho retired to his chamber, sinking into a deep slumber.

The following morning, Fonggha awoke and stepped out of his room.

Ear the Early Riser, informed him.

Master, Mr.

Duo Gene came by to see you this morning.

Oh, very well, he replied.

Duo Gene, the skeletal merchant, likely borne news of new orders.

Exiting the lord's estate, he made his way to the merchant guild's building, Duo Gene stood at the counter, assigning tasks to other skeletal traders.

My lord, he greeted.

Indeed, we have new orders? Fonho inquired.

Yes, my lord.

Today we received two orders from the dwarves.

Two orders? Both from the dwarves? Correct, my lord.

Last time I procured 50,000 units of gunpowder and now another two orders have arrived.

One remains for black gunpowder while the second is for white steel firearms.

Order requirement 5,000 units of black gunpowder.

Rewards 500 battle coins, white steel firearm blueprint.

Dwarven influence 10.

Order requirement 2,000 white steel firearms.

Rewards 20000 battle coins.

Dwarven influence 10.

What could the dwarves be up to? Surely they aren't preparing for war given the extensive demand for equipment and gunpowder.

Nonetheless, it bore little impact on him.

Duo Gene, we cannot produce the white steel firearms as we lack the blueprint.

Funha remarked.

He desired the white steel firearm.

Its green quality boasted a formidable four tier damage.

However, it was unattainable.

My lord, you still have one order pending completion which is about to expire.

If there are no other necessities, you might consider filling in the white steel firearm order.

Someone may have the blueprint for sale, Duo Gene suggested.

Ah, indeed, Fongghao replied, tapping his forehead.

The guild distributes two orders every 7 days.

He had previously submitted a request for a blueprint for a necroantic unit yet to receive a response.

There remains a parchment that has yet to be utilized.

If it remains unclaimed, it shall expire and be rendered obsolete.

Ah, then let us inscribe the blueprint for the white steel musket.

Truly, there is little to articulate.

Even if the materials are insufficient upon acquisition, it shall serve as an expansion of our schematics.

Very well, my lord, Duo Gene declared as he inscribed the creation blueprint for the white steel musket onto the order and subsequently deposited it into the mailbox behind him.

Following this, Fonhow retrieved the order for black powder and proceeded to manufacture 5,000 units of it within the warehouse.

The skeletal merchant bearing the goods and the order vanished into the ether while Fonggha busied himself with his own affairs.

After partaking of breakfast, two skeletal dragons descended from the heavens from which disembarked 124th tier greats sword infantry, their faces somewhat pallet, their eyes frequently darted towards the passing skeletons.

My lord, the great sword infantry recognized Fong Hao and promptly approached to pay their respects.

Have you had breakfast? Fungho inquired.

These individuals have been summoned from Jeang Bin<unk>s territory.

As they were to proceed to Pearl City today to facilitate the establishment of a shop, a contingent was required to escort the carriage, hence their summons.

We have dined, my lord, the great sword infantry replied with unwavering reverence.

Very well, then please wait a moment.

Once you are prepared, we shall embark.

Chapter 190.

Bounty of the undead, the great sword infantry stood vigilantly by the side.

Fongghao opened the Lord's book and within the crafting section discovered the blueprint for the merchant caravan.

Merchant caravan 200 wood, 70 hemp rope, 50 leather, 10 iron, 12 metal parts.

This blueprint for the merchant caravan had been acquired by Jeang Bin during his previous hunt for wild boars.

Fong Hao recorded it, crafting a quantity of one.

Crafting initiated 100fold amplification triggered, acquiring 101 merchant caravans.

One by one, the merchant caravans materialized from thin air scattered around the vicinity.

The merchant caravans were larger and more stable than flatbed carts, topped with a leather awning that provided ample cover from the sun and rain, allowing for the transportation of more goods.

All right, move the barrels of wine and the dining utensils onto the caravans.

We shall set off shortly.

Yes, my lord.

The greatsword infantry sprang into action, diligently loading all necessary items onto the caravans.

Once everything was in order, the grand procession resumed its journey towards Pearl City.

3 hours later, the convoy finally entered Pearl City.

The unfamiliar caravan alongside the enchanting rabbit and fox maidens captured the attention of many.

Crowds gathered along the road, whispering and exchanging glances.

Shiaoai, have you memorized this route? You will be responsible for the shops here in the future.

Fonggha remarked from his seed on the caravan, addressing the fox maiden, Shiao Bai, who was clutching her large tail.

Shiao by was a maid endowed with a keen business acumen, accompanied by 10 rabbit made specifically tasked with managing the shop.

The accompanying fourth tier greats sword infantry ensured the safety of the area as it was a legitimate business, and one could never be too cautious with drunken patrons or troublemakers.

Given that Pearl City's defense commander was merely a tier five, deploying fourth tier guard for security should suffice.

Rest assured, master, I will not disappoint you, Shiaoi declared.

Her fist clenched in determination.

Indeed, I have faith in you.

The convoy halted beside the shop, and Fongghao proceeded to the Lord<unk>'s manner to complete the formalities.

After exchanging coin for the property deed, he secured ownership of the establishment.

As a shop's door swung open, it revealed a dusty interior filled with neglected furniture.

He issued a brief instruction and everyone began the cleaning process.

Fungho stood outside, refraining from intervening, recognizing his own limitations.

His role was simply to avoid causing any disturbances.

At that moment, the tavern's propriet approached from across the street.

"Have you truly purchased this shop?" she inquired as she drew near.

Yes, we shall be neighbors from now on.

I hope for your kind assistance, Fong Hoa replied with a smile.

The proprie scrutinized the young man before her once more, noting his apparent wealth.

The shop was valued at no less than 10,000 gold coins, and he had purchased it with such ease.

"Were your plans for the establishment?" "Din, primarily serving meals," Fongha responded.

"Just meals?" The proprie we also sell some alcoholic beverages but primarily it's about dining.

The proprie hearing this gently shook her head and remarked you and went earn any profits this way.
