Chapter 160 - 16o: 16o, Little You\'s Promotion _1
“My lord, the sailor outfits are being rushed through production. They can be distributed soon.”
Soye thought Fang Hao was coming to inquire about the outfits.
“Ah, no rush on that. I wanted to discuss something about silk,” Fang Hao said as he took a seat close by.
“Oh? Have you got some silkworm cocoons, My lord?” Soye asked.
“Yes, the silkworm house has started raising silkworms. The warehouse also has some silkworm cocoons. I am now planning to make a silk loom. When it’s ready, you can arrange for it to be used.”
After he had spoken, Fang Hao immediately opened the Book of Lords, found the blueprint for the silk loom, and started crafting.
[ioo-fold amplifying trigger, 101 Silk Looms obtained.]
Loom after loom appeared before him, each being stacked on an empty plot of land.
“Very well, My lord, I will arrange it.”
“Hmm.”
The amount of cocoon and silk brought back from Tavek was not significant. There was no rush, either.
This visit was but to inform Soye about the development of silk production. So that he could be clued up and prepared.
With a steady supply from the silkworm house, there wouldn’t be any unnecessary panic.
After bidding Soye farewell, Fang Hao arrived at another dwelling.
He gently knocked at the door, calling out, “Little You, are you there?”
This was the house that Fang Hao had built for Little You. During the day, Little You would generally stay in the room, and would only go out for walks at night.
Or she would go find Soye to talk about topics in clothing design.
Now, as darkness began to set in, it should have been time for Little You to become active.
And sure enough, after Fang Hao finished calling her, Little You peeked out through the wall.
Seeing Fang Hao, her entire figure floated out of the wall.
“Lord.” Little You lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.
“Hmm, Little You. I went to another city today and got a decent dagger, do you want to take a look?” He said pulling a Misdeed Dagger from his backpack.
The moment the dagger appeared, Little You furrowed her brows.
As if some enchanting magic power was emanating from the dagger, attracting her gaze, she became slightly captivated in the moment.
“Little You?” Fang Hao softly called out.
The next second, a beam of light dispersed from Little You’s body, and her level began to rapidly increase.
[Little You the wandering spirit (Rank 5)]
Little You’s current power directly jumped from Rank 3 to Rank 5.
This was the first time Fang Hao had come across leveling up by purely laying eyes on an artifact.
If it hadn’t been for a passing skeleton showing no reaction whatsoever, he might have thought he had acquired a divine artifact.
An artifact that could upgrade a unit by just glancing at it.
“Lord, what’s its name?” Little You’s gaze returned to normal as she asked.
“Misdeed Dagger, is there a problem?” Fang Hao asked.
It seemed that Little You still hadn’t recovered her memory, or else she wouldn’t have asked him the name of the dagger.
“Images seem to surface in my mind, as though it belonged to me at some point.” Little You eyed Fang Hao warily, “My lord, you know something. You intentionally brought this back for me, didn’t you?”
Fang Hao thought for a moment, then decided against concealing anything. He told Little You about the happenings and the middle-aged man who sold him the dagger at the tavern.
He didn’t mention anything about the character attributes and the task.
Discussing these things with locals was difficult, as they would have had a hard time understanding. Instead, it would lower the credibility of the story.
“So am I to think that, in the past, I had killed twelve children? But, I don’t remember ever wanting to hurt anyone.” Little You didn’t seem to accept the story.
Despite being a spirit, she found it hard to accept that she may have been so brutal in the past, no matter what the reasons.
“The story, huh? Storytellers tend to add unbearable elements to stories for certain purposes, so they are often not entirely truthful.”
“Will it be hard to collect the remaining 11 weapons?” Little You asked.
“I am looking for information as we speak, and I will try my best to collect them if I get any leads.”
Little You nodded, then bowed once again, “Thank you for telling me all this, My Lord.”
“Don’t let this burden you. The past is past, what’s ahead is what matters.”
“Yes, My lord, you are right.”
[Your loyalty with Little You, the wandering spirit, increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty: 95 points.]
Little You’s loyalty increased quickly.
This time, Fang Hao brought her the dagger and gave her the story straight which lead to another 5-point increase in loyalty, bringing it to 95.
“Okay, I should head back now. The Trade Alliance has a new building set-up. You can go chat with them, don’t stay cooped up in your room as always.”
“Okay, take care, My lord.”
He returned to the Lord’s Manor, had dinner, and went to bed.
The next day, early morning.
A slight disturbance beside him woke Fang Hao from his sleep.
“Eira,” Fang Hao called out.
The morning sun had risen outside the window, bringing golden light into the room.
Eira was sitting on the edge of the bed, bending over to pick up clothes thrown on the floor and dressing herself neatly.
“Master, it’s still early; you can sleep a bit more.”
“Ah! It’s not early, I’ve got important things to do today.” Fang Hao sighed, getting up as he did so.
Eira showed a smile, then began helping Fang Hao get dressed.
After getting dressed and freshening up, he walked out of the Lord’s Manor.
Shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight, he yawned again.
“What a beautiful day.”
Outside, the maids had already started their day’s work and were greeting him as he appeared.
“My lord, the store has restocked, among which there is a ‘Silk Alchemical Gown Blueprint’. Captain Doujin asked me to inquire if you wish to purchase it?” A skeleton merchant walked over, and after bowing, spoke.
“I thought you said there were no new goods yesterday, so how come there are some today?”
“Ah, well, My lord, the Trade Alliance store restocks empty slots on the second day. It just so happens we have this blueprint today,” the skeleton merchant replied.
If you had purchased a product or an item was removed for some reason, the empty space would be restocked the next day.
“Oh, is the order still available?”
“Yes, no one has taken the Alchemical Gown order.”
“Good, let’s go take a look.” With the skeleton merchant in tow, Fang Hao walked towards the Alliance structure.
Upon pushing the doors open, he saw that Doujin was already at the counter waiting.
“My Lord.”
“Hmm, Doujin, go ahead and buy the Alchemical Gown blueprint,” said Fang Hao.
“Very well, My lord.” Doujin took the blueprint and handed it over to Fang Hao.
[Silk Alchemical Gown Blueprint (Blue): Leather 5, Thick Leather 3, Mithril 3, Silk 15.]
(Description: Special outfit for Alchemists, can shorten the time consumed during alchemy.)
Good.
All the materials are ready.
“Doujin, take up the order for the Alchemical Gown. We have enough materials,” said Fang Hao.
“Very well, my lord.” Doujin opened the mailbox behind him and took out the order.
After Fang Hao signed his name on it, the order acceptance was completed.
[Order]
[Demand: Silk Alchemical Gown 10 pieces.]
[Exchange: 10000 Warfire Coins, 1 Enlightening Potion, and 10 Influences in academy..]
