The esteemed one possesses iron weapons.

" Upon learning that Fong Hao owned the blueprint for an iron spear, the other party's excitement was palpable.

"What do you propose for an exchange?" "Allow me to assess," Fongho asked again.

After a brief pause, seemingly lost in thought.

The individual responded, "I have 12 militia.

Could I trade them for 13 iron spears? White gray blueprints cannot be exchanged for such an abundance of iron spears.

" Fungha replied once more.

According to the standard process for crafting an iron spear, 13 spears would require 26 units of iron.

Presently, no lord in the region has discovered an iron mine, making iron resources exceedingly scarce.

Despite Fonghouse capacity for 100fold amplification, such power must be wielded judiciously to avoid disrupting market dynamics.

Transactions should adhere to the established market prices.

esteemed one, I truly require these weapons.

Please consider how many you can provide.

It would be a favor to a brother, the other party implored, fully aware that Fonga would not acquies to their initial offer.

Upon rejection, they promptly requested Fong how to propose a price.

After further contemplation, Fongo stated, "I can only offer you three iron spears.

However, if you could provide five units of iron, I could trade you 10 damaged iron spears as a temporary solution.

Subsequently, Fongo sent the attributes of the damaged iron spears.

These spears were spoils obtained from vanquishing zombie spearmen in the ancient castle.

Unlike regular iron spears, they are riddled with rust and in a state of disrepair.

Given the absence of a blacksmith profession within the territory, repairing the equipment is unfeasible, making it more prudent to sell them.

Nevertheless, even in their dilapitated state, their lethality and durability surpass that of ordinary wooden or bone weapons.

Esteemed one, could you extend some leniency? I currently possess only three units of iron.

Would that suffice? I can return the remaining two units later, the individual pleaded.

Very well, proceed with the listing.

The two swiftly completed the transaction through a designated channel.

Three iron spears and 10 damaged iron spears vanished.

While Fong Hao acquired a blueprint for the hardwood shield and three units of iron, after recording this in the Lord's book, he illuminated the crafting conditions for the hardwood shield.

The two then closed the private chat and switch back to regional communication.

The hardwood shield blueprint has been successfully traded with the esteemed Fongo.

There is no need for further private messages.

Additionally, I must emphasize the remarkable prowess of Fong Ho.

What is this? Have you exchanged for an AK? Such excitement.

What equipment have you obtained? I've been left behind with my stone spear.

Could it be that Fong Hao has already acquired an iron spear? I am astounded.

He is truly impressive, and I too yearn for a weapon of iron.

Fonggho indeed is formidable, having consumed his last morsel of roasted meat.

Fongghao closed the chat channel.

It is evident that his rate of development surpasses that of most lords.

This is a commendable achievement.

Yet one must remain humble and not succumb to arrogance.

There are countless individuals who have traversed here, each an elite in their respective fields.

Daily lives are lost in this realm.

To survive and thrive, one must continually enhance oneself and elevate their domain.

After taking a sip of water and rinsing his mouth, he commanded the skeletal soldiers to boil water, for he intended to indulge in a soothing bath before retiring for the night.

Previously, such luxuries were unattainable.

But now, with all provisions at hand, he could finally enjoy some well-deserved relaxation.

Rising from his seat, he patted his backside and meandered through his territory, ultimately halting at a vacant plot beside the burial ground.

He resolved to construct a skeleton transformation facility.

Skeleton transformation facility.

Rare 500 wood, 500 stone, 50 hemp rope, five shadow stones.

description.

The skeleton transformation facility can convert buried creatures bones into skeletal soldiers by utilizing the corresponding number of offerings.

Recruitment is possible.

The skeleton transformation facility is fundamentally distinct from a barracks.

It necessitates the recording of species to unlock related troop types.

Only after unlocking these troop types can offerings be consumed for recruitment.

After designating the location, Fongghao proceeded to initiate construction.

A radiant light ascended and a structure materialized before him.

The skeleton transformation facility stood tall, featuring a gravestone approximately 2 m high with a pool encircled by stone measuring 5 m in diameter.

The pool contains soft, uneven soil resembling a desiccated swimming pool.

Go fetch the corpses of the bloodthirsty batwolves.

Fong Hao instructed, gesturing to the side.

Two skeletal soldiers turned and made their way to the resource heap.

After several trips, they brought over six corpses of the bloodthirsty batwolves.

Toss one in.

Fong Hao continued, intrigued by the transformation process.

He wondered what the transformation would yield for a single corpse.

Upon receiving the command, the two skeletons discarded one of the bloodthirsty batwolf corpses into the pool.

Bloodthirsty batwolf corpse.

Would you like to transform it into a skeletal soldier? Transform.

In the next moment, the soil in the pool became as pliable as a swamp.

The corpse of the bloodthirsty bat wolf gradually sank, slowly being consumed by the earth.

One minute later, the transformation concluded.

Transformation complete.

Acquired troop type skeleton giant bat.

In the following instant, a skeletal giant bat erupted from the soil, landing on the adjacent ground.

The colossal bat, now reduced to mere bone, retains a translucent membrane at its wings, enabling flight.

Skeletal colossal bat tier three faction undead racial traits undead hollow skeleton weakness to light.

Skill dive attack innate ability intermediate flight mastery.

Note, this skeletal entity transformed from a corpse retains the characteristics and attack methods of its former life.

Previously known as the bloodthirsty batwolf, it possessed a formidable physique akin to that of an adult wolf with wings that could extend approximately 3 m.

However, the skeletal colossal bat before us pales in comparison.

Its size is comparable to that of a vulture, and its tier has diminished from 5 to three.

It appears that the transformation process reduces strength to some extent.

Most notably, the transformed entity did not trigger a 100fold amplification, resulting only in a skeletal colossal bat.

All remaining corpses were cast into the transformation chamber.

With a flurry, the five remaining carcasses of the bloodthirsty bat wolves were thrown into the chamber, and shortly thereafter, five tier three skeletal colossal bats emerged, settling nearby.

Not displeasing, Fong Hao nodded.

While it did not meet his lofty expectations, he was still somewhat satisfied.

It filled the void in his aerial combat units.

Chapter 33.

Unrepentant soaking in the bathtub, I luxuriated in the warmth of the water.

Standing naked in the open air, I awaited the gentle caress of the breeze to dry the droplets adorning my skin.

Although the hour had grown late, the breeze was pleasantly warm rather than cold.

Once I was sufficiently dried, I dawned my garments and made my way back to the Lord's cabin.

The Lord's cabin had undergone a remarkable transformation.

The floor was now covered with a soft carpet, and all the furniture appeared rejuvenated.

The glowstone chandelier cast a soft, soothing light, illuminating the space even in the depths of night.

These furnishings had been salvaged from the ancient castle, and I plan to arrange the other rooms when time permitted the following day.
