“Greetings, Lord Messenger!”
The crowman elder who granted Han Dong advanced raven magic, Elder Miz Crow, had personally come to greet him.
‘Life Absorption’ and ‘Life Divergence’
These were Han Dong’s current hidden cards.
The reason they weren’t used in the “Mist” movie was because Han Dong had realized in advance that the event itself wasn’t real, and all sorts of magical abilities were suppressed.
Using advanced magic would not only consume a lot of energy, but the effect wouldn’t be that great. It was more trouble than it’s worth.
The magic of the ‘Black Sand’ system after the real fusion was one of Han Dong’s ace cards.
When Elder Miz Crow looked at the other two guests in the car, his gaze changed a bit.
The elder had quite a broad perspective, he could tell at a glance that Nicole was a ‘Follower’.
As for Mr. Black White, Miz Crow had seen him before.
This human with crow attributes, exuding an extremely powerful force, could even wipe out their crowman tribe.
“Ah! This time, teacher also came with me… Other than that, this is my servant, Nicole.”
“Congratulations, Lord!”
Miz Crow could sense a bit of the old king’s aura from Nicole. Hearing that she was a newly recruited servant of the messenger, he hurriedly congratulated him.
With a respectful face, Miz Crow said, “Mr. Black White, your temporary lodging has been arranged! Does this deep-sea follower also need accommodation, or would she prefer to sleep with you?”
Nicole quickly waved her hands, “No need! I just arrived in this world, it’s better to stay with the Lord Messenger. There are many things I need to ask him.”
“Alright… Follow me.”
About half an hour passed.
Inside the elder’s meeting room in the old castle.
Han Dong instructed Duo Zeya to show Nicole around Stuart Manor.
While he gathered the elders for an important meeting, mainly to discuss two matters.
Mr. Black White, as a special guest, sat next to Han Dong.
The first item on the agenda was ‘Search for Demons’, which meant seeking Han Dong’s target for ‘Breaking the Breed’.
The search was still ongoing.
Han Dong proposed that the search range be expanded to outside the Gaine Forest and limited to within one year.
Information about the demons found during this period, including their stronghold size and personal abilities, needs to be recorded and organized in file form for efficient screening by Han Dong after one year.
If a suitable target is found ahead of time, they can report directly to Han Dong.
At the meeting, Han Dong offered a ‘reward mechanism’.
Any crowman who obtained suitable demon information would be granted a special privilege within the manor.
At the same time, Han Dong would also gift a unique piece of fate equipment exclusive to humans.
The meeting then moved on to the second item, which was Han Dong’s main purpose for coming to the city.
“Elders, I’ve always been considering creating a unique weapon that suits me… At present, I’ve collected two very precious materials.”
“These two materials correspond to the ‘outer body’ and the ‘core’.”
“I finally need a piece of ‘inner body’ material of the same quality to commence the forging work.”
Han Dong took out two epic quality fate materials, passing them one by one to each elder’s hands. Mr. Black White also took a look.
The ‘core’ material corresponds to the spoils from “Strange Tales.”
The ‘Source of the Lighthouse’ (Lamp Tube) (For details, please jump to Chapter 358 – Library)
As for the “outer body” material, Han Dong expended all his accumulated points up to now and exchanged them for epic materials within the “Dyson Sphere”…these were the materials specifically chosen by Han Dong based on the prototype of his ideal weapon.
A dark tree branch suffused with a purple, demonic aura.
The branch twisted ominously, its thickness akin to two human arms.
The surface of the tree branch seemed overly damp, with white mushrooms resembling ghostly faces growing upon it.
“Ghost-faced Demon Wood”
Quality: Epic
Category: Dark Material
Traits:
?. Regeneration – As a plant-based demon wood, it possesses a robust capacity for regeneration.
?. Durability – The demon wood, with seven hundred years of growth, has extraordinary toughness.
?. Ghost Face – One can activate the internal Ghost-faced Barrier by handling the demon wood, which can be used to block various magical attacks. Additionally, one can transmit the ghost face by striking the enemy.
When used as the handle for melee weapons such as axes, spears, clubs: It provides high weapon stability (due to the bark and fungal structure, it is not easy to slip from the grasp), gives a moderate increase of Dark Attribute and offers the ability of “Ghost Face”.
When used as the handle of a magic staff: It provides a high weapon stability, enhances black magic considerably, and offers a unique magic shield (Ghost-faced Barrier).
When used to craft body armor: It provides enhanced Dark Attribute and resistance to black magic.
There’s a certain chance to trigger the Ghost-faced Barrier upon being attacked, minimizing damage from various attacks. (The activation chance of the Ghost-faced Barrier can be increased by absorbing black magic, witchcraft, and Dark Attribute elements)
“Wow! Energy Crystal Stone, as well as such a dark primitive tree…”
As they perceived the materials, many of the Crowman Elders showed greedy expressions.
A single piece of these materials could forge excellent equipment, significantly enhancing an individual’s abilities.
However, these items belonged to the Messenger and they dared not covet them.
“Pretty decent items,” Even Mr. Black White gave these materials high praise.
“What kind of weapon is the Messenger planning to craft?”
“Probably a magical tool that meets multiple requirements… The Demon Wood as the wand body, the Lantern as the energy core, we still lack an ‘inner body’ material for the release and control of energy.
I wonder if any of the elders here have suitable materials to offer, I am willing to make an equivalent exchange.”
“Our Crowman tribe has been living in the Gaine Forest for nearly a hundred years, and we have naturally collected some items. Later, I will compile a detailed list and deliver it to your quarters.
If you can’t find a suitable material, we will continue to consider other special items.”
And at this moment,
Mr. Black White, present as a special guest, suddenly spoke up. It seemed that he had come to the Manor with Han Dong just for this moment, to make a ‘perfect’ suggestion.
“The highest ranking elder in your tribe, his condition is quite bad, isn’t it? Even basic ‘movement’ is impossible, right?”
His words shifted the faces of the crow people present.
As Mr. Black White pointed out, this highest-ranking elder was practically in a state of living death.
Even when the tribe moved to Stuart Manor, this elder stayed in the original tribe… Because even the slightest relocation could prove fatal.
“How about extending his life in a different way…”
Among the council members, the one with the deepest relationship with Han Dong, Elder Miz Crow, immediately raised his hand:
“I agree! The Great Elder has absolutely no chance of recovery, rather than waiting for death… Let him become the Messenger’s ‘assistant’, so that his spirit and will can live on.”
Immediate quiet fell upon the assembly as they fell into thought.
At this moment, a white-feathered elder suggested a feasible option
“I believe it is necessary to ask the Great Elder about this matter personally… after all, he has not met the Messenger yet. If the Great Elder is willing, then we will proceed.”
