Chapter 143: The Pure Puppet, The Corrupt Nun (10.4k, 12/76)_6
"At your service, Lord Kael, your will is the direction and motivation for my advance," Lawrence said.
Kael stared at him quietly until sweat started to seep out on his forehead, and finally a slight smile appeared on his face. He said, "You are quite good!"
He then turned his head and looked at the Sister Xiao Yu 144 beside him, saying, "It seems that during this period, your 'Mouse Eye' has developed quite well."
The player nodded his head. He wasn't like Lawrence, who had a tremendous awe for Kael; instead, he just thought Kael's skills looked really splendid.
Logically speaking, such splendid skill effects would cause many people to focus on the skills, but Kael was different.
Only when standing in front of Kael did he feel the kind of mystic charm that the veteran beta testers talked about.
It was as if he were glowing.
"Lord, did you just say that the horse was startled because of you?" he asked.
Kael sighed and didn't answer directly, but said, "Doesn't this Mechanical Body look beautiful?"
Sister Xiao Yu 144 seriously said, "It's not about whether it's beautiful or not. If it were in our world, that would be a custom-made 1:1 scale, worth more than 20,000 human federation dollars luxury item."
This was already in the domain of those who needed it couldn't afford it, and those who could afford it didn't need it.
"In fact, the material used in this humanoid Mechanical Body is more similar to a living body than to a mechanical one. During the recent battle in the Twisted Jungle, I plundered the power of the Shadow Wolf King and mastered the Totem Power.
The power of the Totem can give a living being a state known as 'Protection.' This humanoid construct, I specifically bought it to try if it could withstand the enhancement of 'Protection' power," he explained.
As he mentioned this, Kael sighed and said with some disappointment,
"The good news is that this type of Mechanical Body indeed can carry the Protection conjured by the Totem Power. The bad news is, excessive use of Protection power can easily damage the Mechanical Body.
It's a pity, the materials I need now are quite hard to obtain.
To enhance the Mechanical Body into a structure that can bear more of the Totem Power is more troublesome than I imagined."
As Kael sighed to himself, the player lifted his head, his expression excited under the rat mask.
Even the rat mask couldn't hide the ecstatic look in his eyes.
He instantly understood what Kael meant, and immediately raised his hand, saying,
"Lord, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Just one person isn't enough," Kael shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Sister Xiao Yu 144 was not startled but delighted.
"Wow, is it actually a large-scale quest?!" he exclaimed.
He looked at Kael, showing a greedy manner, he was a bit craving Kael... for his quest.
As a player who hadn't been in the game for long, he was still in the free-spirited state of the server's early days.
Even joining 'Mouse Eye' was just because it was fun, but now that the opportunity had come knocking, there was no reason for him not to take it.
Just as lying flat, the vast majority of people who claim to be lying flat haven't lost the goal of striving, but they can't see hope for improvement.
But if you put a tangible and achievable goal in front of them, this group of old salts will show you what is called turning the tide.
And now, the opportunity was laid before him.
Perhaps to slightly increase the chance of getting the quest, he took off his hood, pulled off the mask and revealed a clean face.
"Lord, you know the advantage we Undead have in gathering intelligence, otherwise you wouldn't have handed 'Mouse Eye' over to Sister Xiao Yu to manage.
Since you had such high expectations for us earlier, why not try to trust us again now?
You can just name what you need, and we will see if we can accomplish it," he pleaded.
Kael looked at the player with surprise and chuckled softly, saying,
"It's not a matter of intelligence. There are a few core materials needed to construct the Mechanical Body; some can be bought through normal channels, others are rare, and although they can be bought, their great value makes them inappropriate for use on the Mechanical Body.
The easiest way now to obtain the necessary materials is in the Dungeon in other Border Lords' domains. If I really want those materials, I would have to cross the border, delve deep into the Dungeon, and eliminate a vast number of Monsters on their boundaries."
"But by doing so, firstly, it's easy to violate the unspoken non-aggression rule among us Nobles; secondly, Lancaster's Rangers, and my own tasks need attention, making it impossible for them to accompany me on a short notice."
"In this situation, getting materials from other dungeons isn't an easy task."
Good Lord! I mean, good Lord!
Your adventure continues at empire
It turns out it's not just a massive chained task but even involves a new copy!
It's just the beta release, are they already opening a new copy? How can he endure such terrible behavior?
What a crappy planner, let me handle it!
He punched himself on the chest, coughed twice from too much excitement, and it took him a while to catch his breath before saying:
"Lord, recently we've had quite a few War Mages born among the Undead, and everyone is in dire need of advancement and materials.
I'm confident that I can unite them to assist other territories in their conquests. Just give the word, and we'll all come together, staunchly following your plan!"
Kael pondered for a long time, finally patting Lancaster144 on the shoulder and saying,
"Perhaps it's time to trust you more, Undead. Tell me your name, not the alias you use in 'Rodent Sight,' but your true title as an Undead!"
"My Great Tree of Infinity!" the player bellowed out loudly.
Why the heck are you shouting?
Kael, helpless, was actually okay with it; after all, he was professionally trained and could contain himself unless really necessary...
"Pfft!"
Great, he burst out laughing.
When he himself was a player, why didn't he find this direct shouting of an ID utterly ridiculous? Now, from his own perspective, looking back, he found—
He really couldn't help it.
Lawrence, who was earwigging nearby, blinked, his face crossing with an awkward expression.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
My Great Tree of Infinity, however, didn't mind; this wasn't the real world, after all. Was shouting his net name going to socially kill him and make him want to flee Earth at lightspeed?
No way, absolutely no way!
The others, having already mentally prepared themselves, soon calmed their nerves, looking at My Great Tree of Infinity and saying:
"Then go and give it a try, see how many qualified Undead you can gather.
If the number and quality meet my standards, and since you are already prepared, I have no reason to disagree with your approach.
I can try to communicate with other Lords, asking if they need support from our side.
If they agree, I permit the Undead to form a strike team, led by a few qualified Rangers, to provide support elsewhere."
When Kael said this, a task directly popped up on the system panel for the Big Tree.
He cried out excitedly:
"Understood, I'm on it right away!"
Kael saw the Big Tree laughing and leaving, still able to hear his distant cheers of "Yay, I've won!" and started to wonder if the kid's mental state was still normal.
As for Lawrence, the personnel accompanying him had already gone to guide him on what specifically to do, which would be negotiated by others below.
Kael didn't care about these matters; if he had to personally attend to such issues, he wouldn't need to get stronger.
