Chapter 98: Rare Profession - Master of Spirits
Chapter 98: Rare Profession - Master of Spirits
【You have successfully used the Master of Spirits profession voucher and obtained the rare profession: Master of Spirits.】
【You have obtained the Lord talents: Spirit Leader, Spirit Commander, and Spirit Trainer.】
【You have obtained the Lord skill: Basic Leadership.】
【Please note: Your profession slots are now full.】
Qin Muye used this rare Master of Spirits profession voucher to fill his empty profession slot, gaining three talents and one skill. Originally, there were three skills, but the remaining two, Scouting and Wisdom, were already possessed by Qin Muye, so he did not receive them again.
【Spirit Leader: All spirits under your command have +1 morale and a 5% increase in health.】
【Spirit Commander: All spirits under your command have a 5% increase in attack and defense.】
【Spirit Trainer: The number of spirits you can recruit increases by 5%, and the recruitment cost decreases by 5%.】
If this profession were given to someone else, it might not be as valuable as a common profession. Although common professions only have one Lord talent, it is unlikely that all talents would be focused on spirits, a 1st-tier unit.
However, for Qin Muye, this is a powerful profession. While it may not match epic professions, it is undoubtedly one of the most suitable professions for him. Both units and heroes can benefit from his Lord talents. When he advances, the effects will be even better.
This Master of Spirits profession voucher was a gift from the dwarves, a small token of appreciation.
Interestingly, they correctly gauged Qin Muye's mindset, but they didn't fully understand his character.
He can accept the gift, but whether he will reciprocate depends on the situation.
During this period, Qin Muye has been researching the power of Crimson. He only just came out today.
The business of selling Crimson-series armaments in his territory has been booming, with almost all factions placing orders.
Fortunately, he had already taught the corresponding skills to the Enlightenment and Gospel spirits, otherwise, there might not have been enough stock.
As for the possibility of enemies using Crimson-series armaments against him in the future? This isn't a technological world. Using Crimson power to fight the Crimson Ancestor is like shooting oneself in the foot.
Moreover, what he provided were his outdated models, not his current weapons.
At this moment, the territory has gained a large amount of resources from selling Crimson-series armaments. Additionally, Qin Muye's artificial creation of champion-level spirits has led to a surge in hero units, and the Black Hand has initiated modernization reforms throughout the territory.
There are already some signs of progress, especially with the assistance of various specialized heroes. The combination of magic and technology has created a peculiar territory.
Due to the Crimson Ancestor Lord talent, the territory is highly adaptive to Crimson elements, making it immune to Crimson element interference and Crimson disease, thus enabling swift and effective action.
"The territory reform should be completed in about a month, and there won't be any significant issues afterward."
Qin Muye read this from the territory report provided by the Black Hand. Don't ask how he deduced it would take a month; the Black Hand wrote it in the report.
It might seem incredible that it only takes a month, but it is actually quite normal. The spirits' execution and efficiency are much faster than humans, and there are no complications like intrigue or power struggles. Orders from the top are executed without any middlemen taking a cut.
Moreover, with the leadership of a large number of specialized hero units and the integration of two eras of civilization, the process is naturally very swift.
"The floating city and dragon spirits need to be prioritized. The Crimson and intelligent spirit transformations can be paused for now. I need to reevaluate and then focus on intelligent magic, supplemented by Crimson magic."
The floating city is a major project that requires a significant amount of resources, so he needs to save up.
As for the dragon spirits, they are derived from the dragon corpses in his warehouse. They won't rot, as dragons are quite resilient and are preserved in ice, so there's no need to worry.
In terms of magic, there is still some difficulty. Since he merged with the Crimson Source and became the Crimson Ancestor, he is now an insulator to all elements except Crimson. The intelligent magic he uses is naturally fueled by Crimson magic.
However, none of the elemental magic spells are suitable for Crimson magic, so he needs to modify the spirits to have the corresponding Crimson adaptability. The 1 point of Crimson element adaptability granted by the Crimson Ancestor Lord talent is far from sufficient for his transformation needs.
This wasn't just a change of mind.
"Let's start with the transformation of the dragon spirits first. They need sufficient physical attributes and magical power to undergo the Crimson transformation."
Qin Muye had the knowledge of flesh and blood from the Gospel Book, so the transformation wasn't much of a problem. However, there were many dragon corpses, and perfectly integrating all the advantages of the dragons was the real challenge.
"Oh, and there are the Magic Walls and Alchemy Towers needed to upgrade the territory. There's been no news about these two structures."
He didn't need to worry about heroes, levels, or resources; the Black Hand would take care of those things. All he needed to do was to be a competent homebody.
So, theoretically, he just needed these two structures, but they were hard to find. None of the resources provided by the native factions included them.
He also considered asking other lords about their promotion from Tier 3 to Tier 4, but he found nothing. This was a personal secret, as everyone's territories were different, and the required structures for promotion would vary. No one would tell such information to other lords.
However, the True Dragon Emperor hinted at a solution: using a Dungeon Scroll to enter a dungeon. After achieving an S-rank evaluation, one could choose a special building blueprint.
This indicated that Magic Walls and Alchemy Towers were special buildings, not rare ones. This confused Qin Muye—how did special buildings even exist?
Although he found a solution, it was a tricky one. Dungeon Scrolls were epic-tier items, and there was only a chance to obtain them from Golden-tier Hero Chests. Where could he find a chest at this time?
"Wait, there is one."
Qin Muye suddenly remembered that the Dragon's Blood event hadn't ended. If he went to kill dragons now, they would drop not only materials but also chests.
He couldn't buy them, of course. Whether it was a Golden-tier Hero Chest or a Dungeon Scroll, such valuable items would only be in the hands of lords, and lords wouldn't sell them.
When lords purchased Crimson Assault, they typically used a combination of common and special resources, occasionally including a few low- or mid-grade treasures. Building and treasure blueprints were not part of the transaction.
Qin Muye was unique in that he only chose spirits as his units. Other lords had a variety of units, so their needs were greater, and they wouldn't be as picky as Qin Muye.
The only ones who could provide blueprints were the native factions. While these blueprints were treasures to lords, they could be copied by the natives.
"I can try to get some dragon heroes from the native factions. Lords might not agree, but the natives can be tried."
Due to Qin Muye's interference, the Dragon's Blood event, which should have ended long ago, was still ongoing. It wasn't clear if it was because Moriel hadn't given up or the dragons hadn't given up, but it was most likely Moriel. After all, she was now the concubine of the True Dragon Emperor and would naturally seek revenge.
Moreover, the True Dragon Emperor wouldn't allow the event to end so quickly. During this period, he had recruited many dragons, and everyone except the dragons had benefited.
"Black Hand, put out a bounty for dragon heroes from the Dragon's Blood event. They must be alive. When they are delivered, you can kill them and open the chests. The corpses can be stored in the resource warehouse," Qin Muye instructed.
The Black Hand understood that Qin Muye needed the items in the chests and quickly went to arrange it.
If he had the money, why should he do it himself? Letting others do it would minimize the risk.
Qin Muye wasn't afraid of offending the dragons. If they dared to attack the True Dragon Emperor and other lords, they wouldn't dare to attack him. If anything happened to him, it would be worse than offending the True Dragon Emperor. In the worst case, he could drag the entire world down with him.
If Qin Muye could get another Dungeon Scroll, he would definitely make a huge profit.
The reason was simple: his Hyper-Spatial Teleportation Channel could cross worlds. This way, he could use the dungeon world as a fallback. If he ever faced a desperate situation or an insurmountable danger, once his floating city was complete, he could leave the Magic Continent server with his territory.
