Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1395

Chapter 1395: Chapter 956: The Airship Supplier is Really Rich Chapter 1395: Chapter 956: The Airship Supplier is Really Rich You Si's expression tightened, and he quickly denied: “No, no, you saw it wrong, it's just an ordinary Time Box.”

Everyone looked at him with skepticism.

With an awkward smile, You Si removed the lid and said, “Alright, it truly is a Witch-lich's Coffin, but it's incomplete, just a failed attempt. I am not in the business of refining Undead creatures.”

Negris, puzzled, asked, “Is it illegal to refine Undead creatures? Why would you instinctively hide it? The human just now also had a strong reaction when he heard about Mourning Undead Soldiers. He claimed he was annoyed by the questions, but it seems like you all have some aversion to being associated with the Undead. Is it because the Royal Magicians suppress the Undead, so you are cautious about it?”

“It's… it's not that, the Royal Magicians can't control what happens here, but refining souls for the Undead is ultimately not good. I'm just interested in the intricate mechanical device like the Life Box, not in refining Undead creatures,” You Si explained.

Ange inspected it closely and reached out his hand toward the Witch-lich's Coffin.

You Si instinctively wanted to stop him, but was blocked by a silver coin who said, “His lordship will look at whatever he wants. Otherwise, the deal is off.”

You Si froze, realizing that an incomplete Witch-lich's Coffin was definitely less valuable than his own life. Seeing the serious look on silver coin's face, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end still let Ange lay hands on the Life Box.

Ange looked it over, pulling a red metal wire from the box. It was meant to be embedded into the Life Box to form an energy circuit, having the function of guiding Magic Power, a function similar to materials like Mithril and Magic Guiding Metal.

Negris leaned over to take a look and hesitatingly said, “Is this Blood Silk? Blood Silk is poisonous. And you're poisoned. Don't tell me you installed a Witch-lich's Coffin onto yourself, did you?”

“Huh? Blood Silk is poisonous? No, no, I haven't installed a Witch-lich's Coffin on myself. Aren't Witch-lich's Coffins supposed to be kept in a safe place? How can they be installed onto a person?” You Si asked in surprise.

Negris believed he hadn't installed it onto himself. If there was even a trace of Undead aura on him, he could fool anyone, but not the Monarch, so he scoffed, “That's an Advanced Application Method; even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Then did you consume this thing? How else would you be poisoned?”

“Are you sure I'm poisoned by Blood Silk? I haven't eaten it, but I have used it here.” While speaking, You Si rolled up his sleeves revealing a pair of exquisite bracers and then opened his clothes to reveal a close-fitting vest.

The bracers and the vest were inlaid with Magic Guiding Metal forming many Magic Patterns and several Chaos Stones, obviously special Magic Artifacts with functions, where Blood Silk was just one of the materials.

“What is this? Magic Armor?” Negris asked.

You Si flicked his arm, and the bracers and vest were activated instantly. A summoning portal opened behind him and two large hands reached out: one hand held a shield in front of You Si, and the other swung a circular saw.

A block and a swing first protected himself and then cleared the enemies in front. Following that, a bespoke Logging Mechanical Construct emerged from the summoning portal, wrapping You Si into its cabin–in less than half a second, the weak Goblin Mechanic transformed into a ferocious Logging Mechanical Construct.

This particular Logging Mechanical Construct was not the cheap wooden variety that Nagi used before, but a metal-covered, Magic Patterns inlaid, high-quality Mechanical Construct with Magical defenses, possibly on par with the Guardian Constructs.

Given such a powerful Mechanical Construct at hand, it's no wonder You Si was fearless meeting strangers, not the least bit worried about being captured by Ange's side.

If he knew what kind of guys he was up against, and that his god-level Mechanical Constructs might not be able to protect him, he may have had regrets.

Negris couldn't help but stamp his feet: “Brilliant! If skeleton summoning is possible, why not summon Mechanical Constructs? Your Magic Armor is designed for summoning constructs and rapid outfitting.”

Negris immediately recognized the purpose of the whole set of equipment and couldn't help but admire that they probably came from a place with energy level restrictions. It's not easy to open a summoning channel, as it involves spatial transfer, which requires a professional Space Mage to accomplish.

But this world is different. Many mages can open Space Passages and summon their creatures to assist in battle, and there is even a specific professional category–Summoner.

Since creatures can be summoned, why not Mechanical Constructs? You Si's Magic Armor is clearly designed for the summoning of huge Mechanical Constructs, and for positioning so as to avoid being crushed right after summoning them.

Silver coin didn't find it strange: “Doesn't Lord often do the same? Storing Petersburg in the space, and taking it out when it's time to fight.”

Negris shook his head: “It's different. Petersburg is a Soul Construct. If you summon this lumbering construct from the summoning channel, and then climb up to sit properly, the enemies will have enough time to kill you several times over. With this, you blink and you're seated inside. Enemies blink, and the Goblin in front of them turns into a Steel Giant. Just thinking about it is thrilling.”

The Monarch also nodded and said: “I want this arm guard. I also want to flex, and have that big saw fit onto my hand.”

The Monarch had long dismantled the lumbering Mechanical Construct he used to operate, keeping only a circular saw which is now stored in the Storage Space. Taking it out is quite troublesome.

It's mainly because it's so big. It is easy for him to lift it, but to draw it out he would have to step back several paces. It would be convenient if a grasp of the hand could summon it directly.

It seems Beryllium Blood Silk is what caused You Si's poisoning, Negris said: “Your arm guard and cuirass use too much Beryllium Blood Silk. Wearing them close to the body caused poisoning, and the accumulated toxic substances damaged your kidneys. After removing the toxins, these armors can't be worn any longer, otherwise, you'll just have to come back to us for treatment.”

You Si immediately showed a bitter face: “We have also used Beryllium Blood Silk for alchemy before, so why haven't others been poisoned?”

Although he complained, his life was important. He did not stow the construct away but parked it aside, then took off the Magic Armor. Without the Magic Armor, he couldn't stow the construct away or equip it quickly, but he could still drive it.

Negris said: “Has anyone else worn it close to their body before? Has anyone else used so much Beryllium Blood Silk? Is anyone else as weak as you?”

After confirming the cause of the disease, treatment was very simple. Ange did this and that, and it was done.

After the treatment was complete, everyone went out to have a look at those Airships, leaving Silver Coin there to… charge a fee.

Soon after, Silver Coin returned, holding out a pair of arm guards, saying: “Charged him one Transport Airship, a pair of arm guards, and twenty planting constructs.”

One Transport Airship is worth about three to five hundred thousand Demon Crystals. As expected of an airship supplier, really wealthy.

“He also told me that the water they drink is drawn from the gravel area ahead, where there are many large icebergs. Simply find a piece of iceberg, chip off the ice, and there's enough for drinking and bathing. However, there are several Giant Dragons prowling those icebergs. It's best to team up with others if you want to haul ice.”
