Chapter 904: Wanting to Meet the Person in Charge Here

Seeing Ange shook his head; without a blank divine spark, it had not yet been planted.

"What to do? Is there anything else to use as a container? I cannot host it now; I am still just a mud book." Lord Nai Ge Li Si said in a frantic rush.

If he had failed to catch anything, it would be one thing, but now that he had caught it, losing it due to lack of a container would make Lord Nai Ge Li Si die of distress.

Seeing Ange looked left and right, then turned to the silver coin and asked, "Heart of the Elves."

The silver coin hurriedly pulled out a wooden box; upon opening it, a surging vitality poured forth, revealing the Heart of the Elves.

This was part of the initial resources Seeing Ange had previously given the silver coin; such a precious item was usually carried on the silver coin's person, and its box was specially crafted to ensure no vitality leaked out to be discovered by others.

The function of the Heart of the Elves was actually quite useless; the surging vitality was of no use to Seeing Ange, otherwise he would not have broken off a piece to make a forehead ornament and given the rest to the silver coin to dispose of.

However, with no blank divine spark available, the Heart of the Elves would have to suffice for now. Seeing Ange pinched the Heart of the Elves and slowly pressed it into the two-legged construct bird the silver coin had ridden.

A green leaf mark floated up on the construct bird's chest; the surging vitality filled the construct bird's body, yet this was merely a mechanical construct, a low-grade item without even black crystal, whose sole function was running.

Since it required no feeding, needing only a bit of magic crystal stuffed in, riding a construct bird was far more convenient than riding a live horse; to be even more convenient, one would have to ride an undead horse.

However, the Feilie Empire forbade undead horses or any undead creatures; except for Death Summoners, no other organized undead creatures were permitted.

The surging vitality wandering chaotically through the body was not a good thing; at best, it would cause a withered tree to sprout again in spring, and at worst, it would cause the body to fall apart.

However, Seeing Ange had prepared beforehand; he placed his palm on the construct bird's body, guiding the vitality to converge on the green leaf mark on the chest, while the remaining areas were reinforced by the scouring vitality without altering its shape in any way, not even allowing any expansion.

Once the green leaf mark was fully formed, Seeing Ange dug into the wood at the mark's location, creating a hole, quickly stuffed the Divine Mark inside, and then covered it back with the dug-out green leaf mark.

Under the surging vitality, the hole dug in the construct bird's chest healed very quickly.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si was somewhat confused; frowning, he said, "You are using the Heart of the Elves to animate the construct bird into a vessel full of vitality, then using this vessel to temporarily hold that Divine Mark? Using the construct bird as a bottle?"

Seeing Ange nodded.

"Is this allowed? What god's mark is this?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked suspiciously.

"Craftsman," Seeing Ange said.

"God of the Craftsman? What is the difference from the God of Forging? Could it not be another name for this world's God of Forging?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked hesitantly.

Seeing Ange already possessed a divine spark of the God of Forging, which he had also obtained via the blank divine spark method by snatching it from the dwarves, but he hardly used it in daily life; Seeing Ange only wanted to farm, not to forge iron.

This name of the so-called God of the Craftsman sounded like Gear Master Valigu; could it not also be a useless divine spark like the God of Forging?

Seeing Ange displayed the mark; indeed, it was a precision device composed of over a dozen gears tightly meshed together, with one-way retaining clips on top, allowing rotation only in one direction, never the reverse.

For every full rotation of the large gear, another small gear meshing with it advanced by one tooth; for every full rotation of the small gear, a third gear advanced by one tooth, and so on.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si took a look, then suddenly closed his eyes, saying, "What is this thing? So strange? Let me look again."

Then he opened his eyes and looked once more: "So strange. I feel this mark contains very rich information; the progression ratios of these gears seem to follow some pattern. It contains not only cryptography, mathematics, structural mechanics, and materials science, but a vast amount of information is thus condensed onto a single mark. How amazing."

Others crowded over to look, then all shook their heads.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si sneered, "I knew you wouldn't understand; you lack that knowledge."

The Monarch scoffed, "You understood it? Then what did you see?"

"Let me see." Lord Nai Ge Li Si looked again: "Looking at these gear ratios, one advance for every twelve, one advance for every twenty, two advances for every ten... then resetting to zero here. There should be a cipher master key corresponding to these patterns; finding the master key reveals what it says. Also, regarding the sizes of these gears, the second gear is 3.141592 times the first gear, blah blah blah..."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si, in a rare state of self-forgetful contemplation, only snapped back to reality when he saw that Seeing Ange had already plated a layer of black crystal on the construct bird's chest, condensed a soul flame within that black crystal plating, and then used a soul imprint to stamp both the soul flame and the Yellow Mud Book.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si and the construct bird instantly established a soul connection.

Seeing Ange pointed at the construct bird and said, "Body."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "You want me to use this as a body? Use a wooden bird as a body? Even if there is no majestic and domineering great dragon, at least get me a body with strong combat power, okay? I am the God of Knowledge, the God of Knowledge, do you understand? Giving me a wooden bird lowers my status..."

Seeing Ange wiped the construct bird's chest, revealing the green leaf mark and the Craftsman mark, and asked in confusion, "You don't want it?"

Lord Nai Ge Li Si, without changing his expression, changed his tune and said, "Although the status is a bit low, seeing as you have strengthened it so carefully, I will reluctantly accept it."

"Hahaha."

In the following period, the silver coin delivered over a dozen planting constructs, all of the exact same model as Seeing Ange; each was fitted with a disguise, with 'Rest' written on the chest and 'Cemetery' written on the back.

Seeing Ange also received one, which made him blend in unremarkably among the crowd of planting constructs.

A facial phantom of the Little Fat Dragon floated up above the construct bird's head; with a look of disgust, it said, "Rest Cemetery. This character 'Cemetery' looks like the character 'Joy'; those who don't know might think it is Rest Joyland."

The Monarch said, "Rest is originally a joyful matter; calling it Rest Joyland is quite reasonable, a paradise for the departed. By the way, have you noticed that the ground of the entire cemetery has become much drier? Before, one step would splash up a foot of water, yet now it is so solid. What did Seeing Ange do?"

"Didn't you notice?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked in surprise.

"I did notice, but I didn't understand what he was doing. Could scattering some grass seeds, digging a few deep pits, and transplanting a few trees turn a valley dry?" the Monarch asked.

"The grass seeds are not ordinary varieties; they are all grasses with particularly developed root systems. Once grown, a root network forms underground. Seeing Ange scattered them in a line, thus connecting them into a water-draining network."

"The deep pits were dug to gather water that couldn't evaporate in time. The transplanted ones were all varieties with high water demands, such as eucalyptus and water locust trees. Pity there were no breadfruit trees; those are the true water pumps. A single breadfruit tree can store three hundred thousand jin of water."

"Furthermore, this direction is the wind tail of the entire valley, meaning the dead wind zone; the air here does not circulate, and the wind of the entire valley will not circulate."

"Seeing Ange spread crushed stone here, spreading this type with high heat capacity and strong heat absorption. When the sun shines during the day, the temperature of this area rises, causing the air to rise and thus achieving thermal convection, bringing wind to the entire valley."

"Then, transplanting some large-leaf banyan trees beside the deep pits; with large leaves and a large evaporation surface area, combined with the air circulation, the humidity will drop, naturally making it drier."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si, speaking with great enthusiasm, turned his head to look, only to find the Monarch had long since run off somewhere.

When he turned back and found the Monarch, that old undead was waving at a corpse fruit beneath a tree's roots, and the death aura on it was swirling and gathering into his hand.

After sucking away the death aura, the Monarch sighed, "There are so many corpses here, and now it is dry, yet no Rest Soil has formed; it mainly relies on these fruit trees. Truly amazing. Who could have thought a fruit tree could adsorb and refine death aura?"

Lord Nai Ge Li Si pouted: "There are many things you haven't thought of..."

Just as he was about to mock, Lai Si quickly ran over, found Seeing Ange, and said somewhat panickedly, "My lord, my lord, the Sweepers have come to deliver the funeral, but a necromancer followed along, saying he wants to see the person in charge here."
