It undoubtedly serves a function similar to that of a blacksmith's forge or jewelry workshop.
Within this building, one can recruit troops skilled in stone carving.
The specific attributes will have to be assessed once they are recruited.
Generally, such establishments have never failed to meet Fong how s expectations.
While not combat troops, their contributions to the territory are irreplaceable by combat units.
Next is the weapon blueprint.
Fine iron Valkyrie long sword, one tough wood, three cast iron blocks, five fine iron, one thick tough leather, one essence of destruction.
Description: Its design is exquisite, resembling a work of art, magnificent and sharp.
The Valkyy's long sword reminds Fong how the long sword possessed by the Valkyrie constructs.
Although the constructs wield it with one hand, the slender blade is likely categorized as a two-handed sword.
Due to prolonged corrosion, it has become modeled and worn.
However, since rewards are generally related to the task location, it is likely the same long sword.
Furthermore, this is a blueprint for a purple grade weapon, which can be regarded as a considerable gain.
Black iron construct universal long sword.
Five iron, five cast iron blocks, 12 metal parts, two leather.
Description: A long sword weapon specially designed for large constructs.
Challenging for ordinary troops to wield.
This long sword requires no further speculation.
Its name confirms that it is the long sword used by the gargoyle constructs.
When Fongo eventually fabricates the gargoyle constructs, it will be perfectly suited for equipping.
Lastly, there is a purple grade finished product, white jade, gold silk coffin.
Category, corpse preservation coffin.
Description: A coffin crafted from complete white jade, nurturing the souls of dark and eternal night creatures.
What a magnificent sight.
A coffin that is entirely translucent.
If he were to traverse back to ancient China, such a coffin would surely be reserved for royal members during burial rights.
Its aesthetic appeal is already quite remarkable.
Within the territory, the users of the corpse preservation coffin are Lana and Shiaoyu.
The frequency of Xiao Yuyu<unk>s usage remains notably low, lingering in a state of being optional.
Meanwhile, Lana holds a significant status within the Eternal Knight.
Her coffin is unlikely to be inferior to this one.
When the time comes, we shall see who finds it useful, for it is of no use to me.
After surveying all the equipment, the mountain bandites s minions have already cleared the battlefield.
12 individuals, including the wounded, mounted the skeletal dragon and returned to the gray bear camp, bearing scattered spoils.
On Fong Ha's side, only 11 remained.
After extricating Eric from a stone coffin, they departed from the desolate city, heading towards the direction of Liix's city.
As the night deepened, Fong Ho and his companions set up camp by the roadside.
The bubbling iron pot exuded steam, dispersing the enticing aroma of hot pot.
After a day's unconsciousness, Eric caught a whiff and gradually opened his eyes.
Ah, it hurts.
The first sound upon awakening was a low growl as he clutched his wound.
Memories of the preceding battle flooded back, and panic washed over him as he scanned his surroundings.
His expression softened significantly upon realizing that Fong Hao and the others were gathered around the fire watching him.
He was still alive and so were they.
Unsteadily, he rose to his feet and staggered over to the fire.
At that moment, he also noticed that Fongo's party had lost quite a few members, many still stained with blood, and they had brought back little in terms of loot.
Sitting down by the fire, Eric appeared somewhat dejected.
Mr.
Fong Ho, thank you for saving me.
I had no idea the Dragon Scale mercenary corps would lead us into such peril.
One can only imagine how difficult it must have been to extract my unconscious self amidst such overwhelming enemies.
If I were in the same situation, I would have likely abandoned you and fled with my team, perhaps returning to the city with a sense of guilt to provide some financial support to my family.
Moreover, I was the one who introduced this mission to you.
Fong Hao, rather than reproaching him, had rescued him.
Let us eat first.
We shall discuss everything upon our return.
The Dragon Scale mercenary corps clearly sees us as fools, and this matter cannot simply be overlooked.
His words ignited a fire of indignation within Eric.
I will go to the Lord's manor and report them.
They have caused the deaths of so many in this battle.
I refuse to believe that no one can hold him accountable.
The strain on his wound made him grimace in pain.
As the hot pot was ready, Fongghao called everyone to eat.
While consuming his meal, Eric continued to inquire, "By the way, what was that graveyard? And where the dragon scale mercenaries?" His memories were still hazy from the severe injuries he had sustained.
After being knocked unconscious by Jia, this hefty fellow had remained asleep until now.
That was the church's cemetery.
The tombstones likely belong to members of the church.
The Dragon Scale mercenary corps brought us here.
Perhaps with no intention of allowing us to return alive, Fong Hao explained.
Previously, Fongghow pondered whether the Longland mercenary corps had inadequately prepared or miscalculated the enemy's numbers, leading to the losses suffered by the human mercenaries.
Upon reflection, he considered the possibility that the annihilation of the human mercenaries was in fact an integral part of the Longland mercenary corps plan.
After all, the church still wielded significant influence.
The excavation of the priest's remains was conducted with caution.
Should this information be leaked, the Longland Mercenary Corps would not escape accountability.
Only if all others perished would the secret remain intact.
This explains why the Longland Mercenary Corps opted not to recruit through the mission hall, instead discreetly enlisting several smaller mercenary groups.
The audacity of the church was astounding.
It was utterly insane.
Eric muttered curses as he stuffed food into his mouth.
I suspect that others may have escaped.
"When the time comes, we shall assess the situation.
If anyone reports this matter, it would be best for us to avoid entanglement, especially since we participated in this operation," Fongo continued.
"You have a point.
Let us first ascertain the situation upon our return.
" Eric nodded in agreement.
After dinner, the group gathered around the campfire for a while longer before each retreated to rest, preparing to resume their journey to Lysa City at dawn.
Upon returning to his tent, Fongo spread a blanket on the ground.
Approximately half an hour later, Anja, having assigned a night watch, entered the tent.
Upon stepping inside, she shed her clothing, dawning only a thin undergarment and nestled in a fong house embrace.
Casually wrapping her arms around him, she whispered, "Do you truly believe that Roton fellow could sleep for such an extended period?" "The force of the detonator caused the very ground to collapse.
" "How could he remain undisturbed unless he fortuitously woke just in time for our meal? What have you discerned?" Fongo reclined, one arm around Anja.
"I haven't uncovered anything definitive.
I merely doubt how he could possibly sleep for so long and then conveniently awaken here.
" Anja replied, carefully contemplating her suspicions.
Fonhow found Anja's doubts quite reasonable.
If that were the case, then Eric was not as simpleminded as one might assume, adept at discerning when to awaken and when to feain slumber.
Contemplating the potential advantages and disadvantages Eric might bring, he continued.
It poses little concern.
Even if he awakens within the sarcophagus and does not behold the skeletal dragon, whatever he reveals poses no threat.
Moreover, he insists we provide him no benefit whatsoever.
