Chapter 355: Chapter 348, Praising the Beautiful Miss_l

The Blood Castle occupies the entire Crescent Heights, with only around 60,000 troops under its control.

If the Human Federation wished, they could easily snatch Crescent Heights from the hands of the Blood Clan.

But the Human Federation has never done so.

Under pressure, they even signed a peace treaty.

The main reason for this situation was the Red Duke, who defended Crescent Heights.

A ninth-level orange hero was enough to deter everyone from touching Crescent Heights.

It’s not that the Human Federation doesn’t have the capability to annihilate Crescent Heights, but unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would want to provoke an orange hero.

The Red Duke, who is adept at hunting humans, could single-handedly exterminate the majority of the human leaders.

Even if Fang Hao’s undead army could easily break into Crescent Heights, they still couldn’t defeat the Red Duke.

If Rolana hadn’t resurrected him, he would have suffered the Red Duke’s vengeance.

Of course, this was also why Fang Hao valued the body of the Red Duke.

Upon learning that Rolana had killed him, he immediately arranged for a search.

In the lord’s hall,

Giant Wall quietly sat on one side, waiting silently.

There was an item wrapped in linen under his foot, with the outline of a skull faintly visible.

Upon seeing Fang Hao descending from the staircase, he stood up to salute, “Lord.”

“Hmm.” Fang Hao sat down in front of the Bone Throne, “So, what did you find?”

Hearing Fang Hao’s question, Giant Wall’s towering body knelt down on one knee.

Lowering his head, he said in a tone full of shame, “My lord, we have searched for several days and found only some remnants of the Red Duke. The rest is still missing.”

The search for the body was not progressing well.

Although the location Rolana gave was accurate, finding scattered remains in the mountains was almost as difficult as finding a sunken ship in the sea.

Even if there were bone dragons to search from the air.

Giant Wall and the Undead soldiers had searched day and night for several days before finding some remnants.

Hearing Giant Wall’s words, Fang Hao’s excited heart instantly cooled by half.

“Giant Wall, stand up. Let’s take a look at what you have found,” Fang Hao sighed, and said.

The loyalty of the skeleton hero originated at 100%, there’s no chance of laziness or deception.

Therefore, if Giant Wall said they couldn’t find it, then they really couldn’t.

Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Giant Wall stood up.

He unwrapped the item at his feet which was wrapped in linen, revealing the shriveled body parts inside.

This was the result of the Blood Clan being exposed to the sun, just like the case of ‘Fielding’ who had been executed.

In the cloth package, one could distinguish a shriveled skull, a palm, some scattered bones, and a pair of intact bat wings.

It seemed that Rolana really hated the Red Duke and had torn him apart.

Just with these few parts, neither Nelson nor the Skeleton Conversion Field could perform the conversion.

Fang Hao sighed slightly.

It seemed that all the trouble had been for nothing.

On second thought, this was better.

He had to consider Rolana’s feelings too.

Who knew if the Red Duke showed up again as a skeleton hero, whether Rolana would go mad and tear him apart again.

Since the corpse was not found in full, he had given up on the idea of creating a hero.

Then again, Fang Hao looked at the skull and bat wings on the ground and his eyes lit up again.

Unable to be made into a skeleton hero, these complete parts are not useless.

The last time he got the Deomn Doll note, he happened to see the method of making skulls.

Although he didn’t have much interest in Deomn dolls, it seemed that they could only be used as doll materials for now.

In this way, the body of the Red Duke was utilized, which also took into account Rolana’s feelings.

This seemed to be the best solution.

Thinking of this, Fang Hao’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

“Giant Wall, you have done a good job this time. Send these to the Viscera Museum, and let Bachelor Nelson handle them later.”

“Yes, my lord.” Giant Wall re-wrapped the body, “I will not disturb your rest now.”

Having said this, Giant Wall took the body and left the lord’s mansion.

Fang Hao sat on the throne, pondering.

Making Deomn dolls is not as simple as collecting hero corpses.

The knowledge of alchemy recorded in the notes is equally important.

It seemed that he should get in touch with some alchemy when he had the opportunity, or recruit some people proficient in alchemy.

He sat on the chair and thought for a while before going upstairs to rest.

Two days later.

Lyss City, Temple.

Fang Hao, accompanied by Anjia, hired two idle laborers by the roadside.

He took fifty pieces of finished “Zealous Faith Assistant Priest Robes” to the temple.

“Sir, how may I help you?” A young assistant priest approached and glanced at the package being hauled by the laborers behind him.

Fang Hao looked at the assistant priest and started speaking softly, “I’m a fabric trader. Last time, I promised to donate some clothing to you. Today, I happened to come to the city, so I brought some along.”

Hearing that it was a donation for the temple, the assistant priest’s expression became even more respectful.

“Oh, please come in, sir. I will call Priest Miriam,” the assistant priest said warmly.

“All right!”

The assistant priest led Fang Hao to a quiet room and then left to fetch the priest.

The workers set down the package, and after Fang Hao paid the agreed price, they happily left.

Shortly after, the door opened again, and the elderly priestess from before, hobbling, walked in.

Seeing Fang Hao and the orc girl sitting in the room, a hint of surprise flashed over her face.

She remembered these two young people.

It seemed not much time had passed since their last departure.

She wondered if there had been a problem and they didn’t plan to donate anymore.

This kind of sudden change of mind had happened before.

“Mr. Trader, we meet again. I forgot to ask your name last time due to the rush,” she said.

“I am Fang Hao. May I know your name, priest?” Fang Hao responded courteously with a smile, despite the priestess’s stern demeanor.

“Miriam!” Priestess Miriam sat down opposite Fang Hao and saw two stacks of fabric package on the side of the tea table.

Fang Hao nodded, “Priestess Miriam, I happened to come to Lyss City, so I brought 50 robes along. I will bring the rest next time I come.”

Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Priestess Miriam’s eyebrows furrowed.

Previous donations usually dragged on for half a year, or even slower.

Most of the time, they ended up sinking like stones in the sea, gradually neglected and forgotten, with no one delivering the goods.

Fang Hao’s case, in Miriam’s experience, was the quickest she’d seen, and even seemed unbelievably fast.

“Sir, are you serious? You’re not joking, are you?” Miriam stared at Fang Hao.

“I’ve brought the clothes.” Saying this, Fang Hao immediately opened a fabric package and took out an assistant priest’s robe.

When she hold the robe in her hands, the elderly priestess was even more surprised.

The craftsmanship was top-notch.

Even the clothes donated by the city lord’s mansion weren’t this exquisitely made.

Moreover, the fabric felt very comfortable to the touch.

But when she noticed the skull pattern on the chest of the robe, Priestess Miriam’s face instantly filled with astonishment.

“Mr. Fang Hao, what is this…?”

“Priestess Miriam, please don’t misunderstand. Our fabric store is named the Bone Textile Store. Not only your side, but also the clothing Lady Rebecca customized from us carries this symbol. It’s just more inconspicuous on her clothes, as she will be attending some banquets,” Fang Hao explained.

Listening to Fang Hao’s explanation, Priestess Miriam eased her expression a bit.

Carrying a symbol was not a problem, she was afraid that Fang Hao was trying to provoke the temple in this way.

After all, the temple worshipped the God of Light and the Goddess of Harvest.

“Lady Rebecca also custom-ordered clothing from you?” Priestess Miriam continued the conversation, changing the subject to Rebecca.

“Yes, the dresses for this year’s Federal Conference were chosen to be made by our Bone Textile Store for Lady Rebecca. Perhaps it won’t be long before our Bone Textile Store will be known throughout the city,” Fang Hao answered with the same smile on his face.

Listening to Fang Hao’s words, Priestess Miriam became a little more relaxed.

The Federal Conference is a very important event among human city-states. Even the dresses are strictly selected.

That is to say, for a year after the conference begins, the Bone Textile Store will be the hottest shop in the city.

Then, everyone in the city will know about Bone Textile Store.

Wearing clothes with the store’s logo in the temple will not be a big problem then.

There should be no big problem with the temple wearing clothes carrying the store’s logo.

“Thank you, Mr. Fang Hao. After the clothes are made, I can arrange someone to pick them up,” Priestess Miriam said, no longer pressing on the matter of the skull symbol.

Fang Hao had already figured this out.

As long as he mentions Rebecca, the temple will easily accept the bone symbol.

“Well, then I won’t bother you anymore. I will notify you when the clothes are ready next time.” Fang Hao had no intention of staying any longer.

The two left the room and walked down the corridor with Priestess Miriam.

As they passed another open room, a greasy male voice was heard.

“Praise the God of Light, praise the Goddess of Harvest, and praise you beautiful priestess. May your skin become more delicate and may your features remain youthful and lovely….”

“I’m not a priestess, just an assistant priestess.”

A slightly shy voice echoed from the room.

The three of them walked by the door and saw a thin, blond middle-aged man inside holding the hand of a young assistant priestess, speaking greasy words.

Clearing her throat, Priestess Miriam coughed lightly.

Hearing the sound, the assistant priestess looked back and saw Priestess Miriam standing at the door. Her face flushed with embarrassment.

She hastily withdrew her hand from the man’s grasp.

“Priestess Miriam.” The assistant priestess bowed her head in salute.

“From now on, you will be in charge of the flowers and plants in the backyard. You don’t have to take care of this side.” Miriam said, her face stern.

“Yes!” The assistant priestess turned pale and excused herself.

The middle-aged man, seeing Miriam’s stern expression, also became nervous and quickly said: “Priestess Miriam, I express my deepest respect to you.” “Shut your mouth. You can leave now.”
