Chapter 921

Yousi's expression tightened, and he hurriedly denied it: "No, no, you saw wrong. It's just an ordinary time box."

Everyone looked at him with leisurely composure.

Yousi gave an awkward laugh, removed the lid, and said: "Alright, it is indeed a lich soul casket, but it's unfinished. It's just a failed project; I am not refining undead creatures."

Naigelis asked in confusion: "Is refining undead creatures against the law? Why did you subconsciously cover it up? The human from earlier also had a strong reaction when hearing about the mourning undead soldiers. Although he said he was just annoyed by being asked, it feels like you all have some aversion to being associated with undead creatures. Is it because the Royal Mages suppress undead creatures, so you have to avoid it?"

"This... that's not it. The Royal Mages don't have jurisdiction here, but undead creatures refine souls, which is ultimately not good. I am just interested in the intricate mechanical craftsmanship of the soul casket, not in refining undead creatures," Yousi explained.

Ang looked at it carefully for a moment and reached his hand toward the lich soul casket.

Yousi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was blocked by Yinbi: "The master will look at whatever he wants to look at; otherwise, the deal is off."

Yousi was stunned. A semi-finished lich soul casket was certainly not worth more than his own life. Seeing Yinbi's serious expression, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he let Ang take the soul casket.

Ang looked it over and pulled a red metal wire off the soul casket. It was used to be inlaid onto the soul casket to form an energy circuit, serving the purpose of guiding magic power, with functions similar to magic materials like magic gold or secret silver.

Naigelis leaned in to take a look and said hesitantly: "Is this Bo-Blood Silk? Bo-Blood Silk is poisonous, and you are poisoned. Could it be that you refined a lich soul casket and installed it on your own body?"

"Ah? Bo-Blood Silk is poisonous? No, no, I didn't install a lich soul casket on my body. Aren't lich soul caskets supposed to be put in a safe place? Can they even be installed on the body?" Yousi asked in surprise.

Naigelis believed he hadn't installed it on his body. If he had even a trace of undead aura on him, he might be able to fool anyone else, but he couldn't fool the Monarch. So, he scoffed: "That's an advanced application technique; you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Then you ate this thing? Otherwise, how could you be poisoned?"

"Are you sure I'm poisoned by Bo-Blood Silk? I didn't eat it, but I do use it here." While speaking, Yousi rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of exquisite bracers, then unbuttoned his clothes to reveal a tight-fitting vest.

The bracers and vest were inlaid with many magic patterns using magic-conducting metal, and several Chaos Stones were also embedded. It was clearly a magical artifact with special functions, and Bo-Blood Silk was just one of the materials.

"What is this? Magic armor?" Naigelis asked.

Yousi flicked his arm, and the bracers and vest were instantly activated. A summoning channel tore open behind him, and two large hands reached out from within. One held a shield to support Yousi in front, while the other swept across the front while clutching a circular saw.

One block and one sweep—first protecting himself, then clearing the enemies in front. Immediately after, a logging construct darted out from the summoning channel and wrapped Yousi directly into the cabin. In less than half a second, the frail goblin mechanic transformed into a ferocious logging construct.

This logging construct was also custom-made, not the cheap wooden kind that Naji used to use, but a high-end piece with a metal outer shell, inlaid with complex magic patterns, and clearly possessing magic defense. Its level might not be inferior to a God-Guarding Construct.

With such a powerful construct in his hands, it's no wonder Yousi was so confident in meeting strangers, not worried at all that Ang's side would capture him.

If he knew what kind of guys he was facing, and that a God-Guarding level construct might not necessarily be able to protect him, he might have regretted it.

Naigelis couldn't help but stomp his feet: "Wonderful! If you can summon skeletons, why can't you summon constructs? This magic armor of yours is just for summoning constructs and quick preparation."

Naigelis immediately saw the purpose of the whole set of equipment and couldn't help but praise it. The place they came from might have restrictions on energy levels, making it not very easy to open summoning channels because it involves spatial transfer, requiring a professional spatial mage to complete.

But this world is different. Many mages can open spatial channels to summon their summoned creatures to help in battle, and there is even a specialized professional classification—Summoner.

Since they can summon creatures, why can't they summon constructs? Yousi's magic armor was clearly designed to summon massive constructs while simultaneously acting as a locator, so the construct wouldn't crush him the moment it was summoned.

Yinbi didn't think there was anything strange about it: "Doesn't the master often do this too? Keeping Paitexi in space and taking him out when fighting."

Naigelis shook his head: "It's different. Paitexi is a soul construct. This kind of logging construct comes out of the summoning channel, and then you have to climb up and sit down—others would have killed you several times over. This is good; in the blink of an eye, you're inside. The enemy blinks, and the goblin in front of them turns into an iron giant. Just thinking about it is exciting."

The Monarch also nodded and said: "I want these bracers. I also want to exert force and have that big saw installed on my hand."

The logging construct the Monarch originally drove had long been dismantled by him, leaving only a circular saw, which was now kept in his storage space, and it was quite troublesome to take it out.

The main thing was that it was too big. He could easily lift it, but to pull it out, he had to take several steps back. If he could summon it to his hand with just a handshake, that would be great.

It seems Bo-Blood Silk was the reason for Yousi's poisoning. Naigelis said: "Your bracers and vest used too much Bo-Blood Silk. Wearing them close to your body caused you to be poisoned. The toxins accumulated and ruined your kidneys. After the toxins are purged, these armors can't be worn anymore, otherwise, you'll just have to find us for treatment again."

Yousi's face immediately turned bitter: "We used Bo-Blood Silk for alchemy before, too. Why didn't others get poisoned?"

Although he complained, his life was more important. He didn't put the construct away but parked it to the side, then took off the magic armor. Without the magic armor, he just couldn't put the construct away or equip it quickly; the construct could still be driven.

Naigelis said: "Did others wear it close to their bodies before? Did others use as much Bo-Blood Silk as you? Are others as frail as you?"

Once the cause of the illness was confirmed, the treatment was too simple. Ang did this and that, then did that and this, and it was done.

After the treatment was finished, everyone went outside to visit those airships, leaving Yinbi there to extort... collect fees.

Not long after, Yinbi returned, presented a pair of bracers, and said: "Collected one transport airship, a pair of bracers, and twenty planting constructs from him."

A transport airship costs nearly three to five hundred thousand magic crystals. He is worthy of being an airship supplier; he is truly rich.

"He also told me that the water they drink is all hauled from the gravel zone ahead. There are many large icebergs there. Just find a piece and cut the ice, and it's enough for drinking and bathing. However, several giant dragons are coiled around that patch of icebergs. If you want to haul ice, it's best to team up with others."
