Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 372: Chapter 364, A Dark and Windy Night l

Lately, Fang Hao had been reading this book, studying the various pieces of magic knowledge written in it.

This time, he opportunistically met the half-demon alchemist, and conveniently shared with him the formula for the Flame Rhythm potion.

As a half-demon alchemist, he could concoct even Level Three potions, so Level Two should be no problem at all.

This time, Fang Hao directly expressed his needs.

Instead of allowing the alchemist to concoct potions at will.

Like the last time, the Seal Potion that extended underwater duration, and the Perception Potion this time.

In fact, these were not particularly useful to Fang Hao.

His undead troops would explore any dangerous areas, so there were not many opportunities to use these potions.

The only reason he bought them all was that they were inexpensive, allowing him to store them for potential future use.

But he still hoped that the alchemist would lean towards concocting potions like the Physical Enhancement Potion and the Ephemeral Years Potion.

For those were the potions that would be of greater help to him and his Heroes. “Flame Rhythm?” The half-demon alchemist, rummaged in his memory, thinking of the recipe for this potion.

He continued to say, “I know about this potion, but I haven’t tried making it yet. I can try after returning home, but I can’t guarantee success the first time around, so the price might be slightly higher.”

In other words, if he failed in his initial attempts, the cost of the wasted materials would be charged to Fang Hao.

“Sure.” Fang Hao readily agreed.

The half-demon continued, “As for the Physical Enhancement Potion and the Ephemeral Years Potion, I will prioritize making them if the materials permit. I cannot guarantee the availability of the materials, though.”

His half-demon identity indeed presented him with numerous inconveniences. Currently, he made potions on the basis of whatever materials he had on hand. If a specific potion was asked for, it wasn’t that he couldn’t make it – rather, he would need to see if he had the appropriate materials.

“If you are having trouble, list out what you need, and I can arrange for people to go buy them.” Understanding his predicament, Fang Hao made the suggestion.

He was also planning to cultivate medicinal herbs at Crescent Heights; he just hadn’t communicated this to Rolana yet.

But he thought there shouldn’t be any problems.

As long as he explained it to Rolana, she probably wouldn’t refuse.

Hearing Fang Hao’s proposal, the half-demon alchemist hesitated.

The idea certainly seemed feasible.

But it also meant that he would have to frequently interact with people from Fang Hao’s side.

He was unsure if this method might cause trouble for him and his family. After all, it would be very dangerous if his true identity was exposed.

After some thought, the half-demon ultimately rejected Fang Hao’s proposal. “There is no need to trouble you, Sir. I will find a way to buy the materials myself.”

Fang Hao didn’t insist either, “Alright.”

Soon enough, a maid brought in the prepared gold coins.

The hefty coin bag was handed over to the hands of the half-demon alchemist.

Holding the money brought a smile to his face.

After bidding Fang Hao farewell, he immediately left the hotpot restaurant.

Fang Hao, accompanied by Anjia, enjoyed a hotpot meal before returning to his residence.

Because Rebecca had a task, Fang Hao had already lived in Lyss City for two days.

Experiencing a rare leisure time for himself.

No need to worry about anything, just leaving it to the maid and subordinates to handle.

In these two days, he spent most of his time in the room, continuing his study of the knowledge recorded in the books.

‘The Esoteric of the Multi-Headed Fire Python’ was like a compendium summarizing all the knowledge of magic.

Linking together fragmented pieces of knowledge.

To understand it, one would need to cross-reference several other books for learning.

Gradually, scattered knowledge would become a complete training system.

From meditation to practice, all the way to the consumption of auxiliary potions.

The more Fang Hao read, the more fascinated he became by the depth of the world of magic.

Similarly, through the learning, his gains were also significant.

Though he only learned one skill from it, the Flame Spider, Fang Hao’s understanding of magic deepened.

Using it is no longer about casting skills based on templates, but truly feeling the pattern of magical power flowing within him.

He now uses his control to either speed up or slow down the gathering of magic. Able to calculate the optimal timing to release magic.

Fang Hao stayed for two days.

Rolana also stayed for two days.

Her abilities were far stronger than an ordinary Blood Clan’s.

She dared to strut around on the streets in broad daylight, sporting only a sun hat.

Initially, Fang Hao was a bit worried, but he relaxed when he saw that she was just wandering around.

He gave her some money to buy things she liked while she was roaming around. Fang Hao mentioned to her that he wanted to plant herbs at Crescent Heights. Rolana was quite cooperative this time.

After a brief inquiry, she agreed.

She would arrange for the planting once she returned.

On the third day of their stay.

In the afternoon.

Fang Hao stood in the courtyard, Starfire Wand in hand, starting to build up magic.

Feeling the magic around him gathering towards him.

The next moment, he conjured six spiders made of fire, each about the size of a washbasin.

Their bodies made entirely of fire elements, heating the surroundings intensely.

“Go!!” Fang Hao pointed his wand forward, and the six spiders rushed towards a target ahead, fiercely biting the wooden target wrapped in leather.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden target was torn apart and then completely burnt to ashes.

Based on his multiple experiments,

Fang Hao had figured out the characteristics of the Flame Spider.

They were crawling, tearing, and burning.

Crawling, this characteristic was very similar to a spider’s, it could climb on difficult terrains.

Including trees, walls, ceilings.

This meant that, with the exception of being in water or floating in the air,

Flame Spiders could strike at you from any position.

Tearing, or rushing towards the target to tear and bite at it.

Burning, the spider’s own fire element could set the target and anything it touched ablaze, inflicting fire damage.

Generally speaking, the physical strength of mages wasn’t high.

A summoned creature, that could delay the enemy, was vital for a mage.

“How many days have you been practicing now? Why is it still just a spider?” Anjia, leaning against the wall with some snacks, silently watched.

“It’s just the spider. No matter how much I practice, the spider just gets bigger and multiplies.” Fang Hao waved his wand again, and the Flame Spider dispersed.

“Boring, no use whatsoever.” Anjia turned her head and entered the room.

“What the heck do you mean by that…” Fang hao watched as Anjia returned to her room, feeling undervalued for his efforts.

Just as he was planning to return to his room to continue reading,

Someone from the City Lord’s office came over, it was Rebecca’s personal handmaid.

“Mr Fang Hao!” The maid gave a slight curtsy.

“Yes, does Lady Rebecca have any instructions?” Fang Hao asked softly.

The maid took a few steps forward and handed a map in her hand to Fang Hao, saying quietly: “This is the map, the location is a mansion outside the city. In the evening, there will be people to escort you out of the city…”

“Alright, I understand.” Fang Hao casually tucked away the map.

The maid bowed slightly, turned around, and left right away.

A week had passed since Fang Hao had last captured the members of the Faceless Ones.

After a few quiet days, it seemed like they were starting to get active again. Fang Hao filed away the map, pointing out a mansion to the west of the city. “Tell Grey Bear to return with his men.” Fang Hao instructed one of his subordinates.

“Yes, sir.”

Gray Bear and his men were busy cleaning up the shops in West City.

There was action expected tonight, naturally, they had to maintain a good condition.

The night was dark and windy!

In a secluded and dilapidated warehouse, everyone waited in silence.

They waited for the person Rebecca had arranged to come and meet them.

For this mission,

Rolana also came along.

The night was her usual time to be active, hearing about the mission, she also decided to join in on the fun.

“Don’t run around later, you can kill the riff-raff outside, but the people wearing black hoodies inside must be captured alive. Be careful not to kill them.”

Fang Hao approached Rolana and quietly instructed her.

Of course, this was not the first time he had said this.

Rolana turned her head to the side, looking like she didn’t want to deal with Fang Hao.

Grey Bear and his gang of bandits,

were even more curious about the relationship between Fang Hao and Rolana now.

At first, they thought this beautiful woman was the lover Fang Hao had taken back, then they felt she was one of his subordinates who was a hero.

Now with Fang Hao persuading her, these people began to doubt again.

Couldn’t it be the tsundere fiancee from the story.

But everyone also heard that Fang Hao was urging the woman to be careful when making her move not to kill everyone.

This also meant that Rolana had prodigious strength.

Fang Hao said nothing else when he saw that Rolana remained silent.

Everyone quietly waited.

About 20 minutes later, the expected help finally arrived.

This was one of Rebecca’s guards, now dressed as if he had just returned from the tavern.

He walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

Seeing Fang Hao and the others, he spoke softly, “I will guide you out through the western city gate, but once the city gate opens, there could potentially be enemies within the City Defense Army. Therefore, you need to overtake the mansion before the other party sends out the news.”

There was a high possibility that the Faceless Ones had planted their own people among the City Defense Army.

Once the city gate opens, someone might notice and pass the information to the people in the mansion outside the city.

However, the people from the City Lord’s office would try to control the speed at which the message was relayed in order to buy Fang Hao more time.

“Okay, let’s set off!”

“Sure!”

The room’s door opened again, with everyone following behind the soldier in the darkness, rushing towards the West City gate.

West City Gate.

The soldier carried out a conversation up front.

The city gate was soon opened enough for a person to pass through.

All of them, without any exchange of words, directly left the city.

After they left the city, the city gate was closed again.

The group continued on without stopping.

In a dense forest not far from the mansion, they hid.

There were many guards and secret sentinels in the mansion, and torches illuminated the surroundings.

Fang Hao released the Skeleton Sparrow, using God’s Presence, it flew into the air to observe the mansion.

This time, besides the hidden sentinels lurking in the shadows, he also saw some heavily armed mercenaries.

From the insignia on their chests.

He could identify the ‘Northern Tower Mercenary Group’ and ‘Bloodthorn Mercenary Group’.
