Chapter 52 - 52, Viscera Museum (Seeking recommendations. „)_1
The Viscera Museum was expansive and its architectural style brimming with religious elements.
The walls were colorfully painted with a variety of ritual symbols, lively and vivid.
“My Lord, would you like to visit?” Nelson extended an invitation.
Gazing at the colossal architecture in front of him, Fang Hao was filled with curiosity.
The museum was only one floor, but its footprint far exceeded that of Fang Hao’s Lord Cabin.
It had become the largest structure in his territory.
“Lead the way.” Fang Hao gave a light smile and walked in stride with Nelson.
The interior of the building was very spacious, almost like a real museum, divided into areas of different sizes.
Each of them even had labels.
[Underground Cemetery][Burial Grounds],
They were two undead buildings within Fang Hao’s territory.
“My Lord, once we acquire viscera jars with special abilities, they can be placed in the corresponding areas as offerings, which can bestow powerful and special abilities onto our troops,” Nelson whispered an explanation from the side.
If he were outside, Fang Hao might not understand Nelson’s explanation.
However, being on the scene, he now understood Nelson’s explanation.
It’s like runes for heroes in a game.
The viscera jars were the runes that could grant special abilities to chosen troops.
Looking now, it seemed like he had stumbled on treasure. This enhanced the strength of whole units, which was much more powerful than just a warrior hero.
He had a hundredfold reinforcement; mass army production was his advantage.
“Hmm, how can we obtain viscera jars?” Fang Hao asked further.
He had one empty viscera jar that he had purchased from the skeleton trader.
“They could be fired in a pottery kiln, or purchased,” Nelson continued.
Oh.
Certainly, the pottery kiln would require blueprints. And purchasing them meant buying from the skeleton trader.
There was not much to explain.
The two continued on, and the second hall was somewhat smaller. In the center was a large, long stone table.
The surface of the stone table was smooth and polished.
“My Lord, when the day comes that you wish to shed this mortal coil, a ceremony can be conducted here,” Nelson said softly, leaning on his magic wand.
Fang Hao was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood Nelson’s implication.
Crap!
This table was for mummification.
He instinctively wanted to step back but immediately stopped and calmly said, “There’s no rush.”
Nelson didn’t say anything more.
Moving further inside was Nelson’s living space. It was convenient that the museum had a room for him, sparing Fang Hao the trouble of arranging accommodations.
After touring the museum, they headed outside.
“Alright, Nelson, when you have time, you can stroll around the territory to familiarize yourself with the environment.”
“Yes, my Lord.” Nelson responded.
Fang Hao left the museum with Eira waiting at the door.
Seeing him return, she immediately followed him towards the Lord’s Cabin.
The next day, early morning.
Because of last night’s late hours, he didn’t get up as early today.
He had a lazy morning.
Eira didn’t wake him, letting him sleep in.
After stretching, he walked out of his bedroom.
As soon as he went downstairs, he heard Eira humming a tune in the room.
It seemed she was in a good mood today.
Fang Hao cracked a small smile, just about to leave, when Eira opened the door. They almost collided into each other.
“Ah! Master, you’re awake.”
Hair damp, Eira was wrapped in a leather blanket, barely covering her chest and buttocks. The bare skin exposed was flushed from steam.
Adorably so.
Eira abruptly curtsied, causing the already scant leather blanket to seem even more insufficient.
It made Fang Hao’s heart race this early in the morning.
“Are you having a shower? There are curtains, don’t catch a cold,” Fang Hao quickly diverted his gaze.
The territory indeed didn’t have the resources to make bath towels or cloth. But why not scavenge some curtains from the old castle and orc camp?
Those were good fabrics that could easily serve as bath towels.
The skeleton had been cleaned several times and was very clean.
“The curtains are really nice, I’ve stored them away to be used when needed,” Eira said softly.
She really knew how to manage things.
“Alright, just don’t catch a cold. After your bath, get ready for breakfast,” Fang Hao said.
“Alright, master, I’ll prepare breakfast right away,” Eira replied eagerly.
Fang Hao watched Eira’s swaying buttocks from behind and shook his head slightly.
This was really a fox spirit; who knows how many episodes she would survive in the Journey to the West.
He walked out of the Lord’s cottage.
As usual, he did some aerobic exercises, running, and push-ups until he was slightly sweaty.
The physique was the capital of the revolution. Seeing the charm of the Rabbitmen Clan, his body could not afford to break down earlier than planned.
After finishing the exercises, Eira began to make breakfast.
Fang Hao decided to construct the Cavalry Training Ground, recruiting cavalry units early on.
He walked to the gathering place of the military buildings, opened the Book of Lords, and found the blueprint.
Once Cavalry Training Ground was input into the Book of Lords, its name changed due to the faction relationship.
It was called the Corridor of the Undead.
[Corridor of The Undead: 500 wood, 700 stone, 500 straw, 120 hemp ropes.]
Construct!
A flash of light, and a long, narrow corridor appeared before Fang Hao.
[Level 1 Corridor of The Undead]
[Recruitment: Skeleton Scouts]
[Skeleton Scout: 1 Wriggling Spine]
(Note: It is possible to recruit cavalry units from the affiliated faction in this building. Upgrading the building will unlock new soldier types and higher-ranking units.)
[Upgrade materials required: 1000 wood, 1200 stone, 950 straw, 300 leather, 250 hemp ropes, 10 shadowstones.]
Being able to recruit cavalry made Fang Hao happy, of course.
However, all the accumulated shadowstones were consumed when building the Viscera Museum last night.
He couldn’t continue upgrading the Corridor of the Dead.
But it doesn’t matter. Based on his experience in upgrading barracks, the 2nd level is only a transition and does not unlock new units.
So, there’s no rush to upgrade the units now.
Directly recruit the units, first to see what the cavalry look like.
[Recruitment Available: 1 Skeleton Scout, Cost: 1 Wriggling Spine. Confirm Recruitment?]
Confirm recruitment!
The system’s prompt sounded again.
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Successfully Recruited 101 Skeleton Scouts.]
The next second.
A skeleton soldier, riding a skeleton horse, slowly walked out from the corridor.
And on the vacant land next to it, light flickered, and a hundred skeleton scouts of the same appearance appeared.
“This is not right. Supposedly, recruiting a skeleton soldier requires a spine, doesn’t it? Does this mean recruiting cavalry comes with a skeleton horse? So isn’t it more suitable to recruit cavalry?” Fang Hao analyzed by himself.
[Skeleton Scout (Level 2)]
[Faction: Undead]
[Racial Characteristics: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Weakness to Light.]
[Skills: Charge.]
[Innate Abilities: Basic Combat Mastery, Basic Swordsmanship Mastery, Basic Riding Skill Mastery.]
[Charge]: (Mounted status) Can charge towards the target, quickly closing in or dispersing formation, inflicting significant damage on the enemy.
(Note: Mounted skeleton scouts make up for their lack of mobility, possessing effective mobility and a remarkable charge ability.)
The skeleton horse clomped on the ground, making a series of ‘clippity-clop’ noises.
Looking at the scouts, Fang Hao nodded in satisfaction..
