Snow's silk along with cultivable silkworms, Fong Ho replied.

Chapter 225.

Repairing the silver necklace upon hearing Fong Ho's request for the young silkworms of holy snow silk.

Tavvek gazed at him with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Had Fong Ho not relinquished his ambition of serulture, the silkworms he had previously procured from Tavvek had either perished or were still alive.

Yet he remained undeterred.

Nevertheless, such matters were beyond Tavac's concern.

He recognized that Fong Ho commanded a formidable team capable of ensuring the safety of his trade caravan.

Acknowledging Fong Ha's desire to exchange remuneration for young silkworms, Tav acquiesed to the terms.

"Very well, since Mr.

Fongo desires it, I shall not be stingy.

Let us proceed with the young silkworms of holy snow silk as payment, Tavvek declared, slamming his hand upon the table emphatically.

Holy snow silk represented Tavvek's finest textile reserved exclusively for the nobility and affluent merchants.

He typically offered only finished fabrics to others, abstaining from selling young silkworms to avoid cultivating potential competitors.

However, Fong Hao was different.

He appeared to be a complete novice, oblivious to the intricacies of the craft.

Even if he were to impart the entire process to him, it would be arduous for Fong how to achieve success within a few years.

The likelihood was that his interest would wain, leading to abandonment of the endeavor.

Thus, Tavac harbored no apprehensions regarding Fong Hao, although he recognized the inherent value of the young silkworms, which surpassed that of mere gold coins.

Yet he found himself in dire need of assistance.

When shall we depart, Fong Ho inquired, "Tomorrow at dawn at the gates of Puer city," Tavac replied, "Very well.

I shall bring my people along, and we will set off together once assembled.

" With the departure time confirmed, the two engaged in casual conversation.

The Minister of Internal Affairs had recently been cultivating connections, hoping to leverage his network to persuade the city lord to release his son.

However, it appeared that the city lord was resolute in condemning his son, who remained incarcerated, barred from any contact.

In recent days, the town's folk had been fervently discussing the matter, covertly applauding the capture of the notorious tyrant.

After a while, Fong Ho and his companion took their leave of Tav's residence.

Around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, they returned to their territory.

Dismounting from the giant lizard, they happened upon Ditiga just returning from patrol.

Removing his helmet revealed his blue lizard-like visage.

Sir, Domiga greeted with a respectful bow.

Ah, by the way, I shall be undertaking a mission tomorrow.

You and Anja will accompany me.

The patrolling of the territory can be entrusted to Blood Hunter.

Funhow recalled the task of escorting the trade caravan for the following day.

In truth, the effectiveness of patrolling near the territory was negligible.

With 500,000 undead stationed, no living creature dared approach.

Even the beasts had vacated their layers.

Seeking new abodess elsewhere.

"Uderstood, my lord," Demitiga nodded in acknowledgement.

"Very well," Fongo replied, bidding farewell to Domiga as he made his way back to the Lord's manor.

Upon ascending to the third floor, he found your diligently tidying up his room.

His chamber was one of the few spaces where Yur was permitted entry and she routinely managed the cleaning and airing out of his belongings.

"Master, you have returned," you're said, stepping forward to assist him in removing his leather armor.

Fong Ho now journeys towards Puer city, no longer encumbered by the heavy metal armor, but rather dawning a leather armor over his mage's robe in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances.

Indeed, he acknowledges with a nod.

By the way, master, you're softly interjects.

I just tidied up the study and discovered a broken pendant.

Should I take it to Mr.

Luke for repairs? Luke? Ah, yes.

The newly recruited goldsmith.

Funghow muses.

The name somewhat unfamiliar yet quickly recalled as the skeletal goldsmith enlisted just yesterday.

Which penny you refer to? He cannot remember possessing any damaged trinkets.

having retrieved only one my necklace earlier that morning.

I'll show it to you, your replies, hastening to another room and returning with a rusted pendant in hand.

Silver pendant category necklace description: An ordinary pendant of negligible worth, yet encapsulates a father's profound longing.

You may sell it or return it to Gregoria.

Originally, the pendant contained a small mechanism which would unlock the outer shell with a gentle press, revealing Gregoria's name within.

However, the casing has now completely deteriorated, leaving behind a rustcovered core severely corroded.

Fungha had discovered it on a corpse in the wild, deeming it a potential quest item, and had kept it until now.

Had you not mentioned it, he might have forgotten its existence.

Yes, let us take it to Luke.

There is no need for a complete restoration.

Just reattach the lid.

Funha decides.

The quest to find Gregoria may prove challenging.

One step at a time.

If it is repaired, it may prove useful in the future.

Understood.

Your response.

Taking the pendant to seek out Luke.

Fongo then changes into a more comfortable attire and steps outside the lord's manor, making his way directly to the blacksmith shop.

Sir, how may I assist you? The skeletal blacksmith kill approaches wielding a forged iron hammer.

Nothing urgent.

Please continue with your work.

I am here to recruit additional personnel.

Funha replies.

Presently the blacksmiths are quite busy laboring tirelessly after the two recent battles against the shattered skull and bloodthroat which yielded a plethora of equipment.

They are working diligently to repair what can be salvaged and to remelt the irreparable into cast iron blocks.

Fonggho's visit, however, is not to assign new tasks, but to enlist sufficient blacksmiths to be dispatched to the furnace factory in Cold Wind City, replacing the orcs who lack forging capabilities.

Blacksmith undulating spine 10.

Would you like to recruit? He adjusts the recruitment number to 10.

Recruit 100fold amplification activated.

Recruiting skeletal blacksmiths 1,0.

A brilliant light envelopes the area, revealing over a thousand blacksmiths, all turning to face Fong Ho.

Greetings, Lord.

They all bow in unison.

Welcome to you all.

This time, I will assign you to work at the factory in Cold Wind City.

Fong Ho proclaims loudly.

At your command, my lord.

Fonggho summoned Injia and arranged for the skeletal blacksmiths to mount the bone dragons.

He entrusted them to Clay, the shaman.

Fong Hao advised Injia accordingly.

Due to the Hamilton family s missing person's notice, Fonhow had seldom allowed the blood hunters to reveal themselves.

Other heroes were assigned various tasks.

This time was no different.

He entrusted the mission to lead the expedition to Frost Wind City to Anja.

Understood.
