Chapter 219: Heroic Spirit Pool! Draw Cards! (5K plus 51 52)
Elda.

Although it has a name full of expectations, it cannot even be called a village so far, and is at most a base.

Well, don't meddle with the building of the house.

Never mind what it will look like in the end…Will it end up unfinished? Will it fail to deliver? Will it run away halfway?

The name of the property had already been decided when it was not even in its rough form.

Those big-market names with special meanings have attracted countless consumers to invest their money... ahem.

Fortunately, Herbert does not need to attract investment or funds from residents to support operations.

Herbert thought for a while and decided on the next course of action.

"The foundation has been laid, the name has been chosen, so the next step is to have residents move in."

He may not need funds, but he definitely needs population.

Population has far-reaching significance for a new territory that cannot be ignored.

Population is the source of vitality for the development of new territories, with different individuals bringing their own skills, knowledge and creativity.

Diversified human resources are like fresh blood injected into a new organism.

It is impossible for Herbert to be responsible for everything by himself, and it is impossible for him to become a jack of all trades in an instant.

Construction, agriculture, commerce... these foundations are fine in the early stages when there are not many people, but after they develop, they will definitely require specialized talents to take charge.

With people skilled in architecture, they were able to further plan and improve the design of new territories, the construction of public facilities, etc.

People with agricultural knowledge, such as druids, can cultivate the land and develop proper agriculture to ensure food self-sufficiency.

Talents who are proficient in business operations can be responsible for the fairness of transactions internally and for trade routes externally.

"So the question is, where can we find these talents?"

In addition to personal abilities, these talents have one most important prerequisite - the ability to keep the secrets here, or being part of the secret themselves.

The best would be a monster of an alien race, the worst would be a hybrid, and the worst... it would have to be a human like Steven who has no ties to the outside world.

Although Steven has not woken up yet and has not yet said whether he has any connection with the outside world...but in Herbert's eyes, he has become a person who has nothing to do with the outside world.

If Steven is ignorant and insists on being involved with the outside world, that's fine.

He can also passively become an irrelevant person, it doesn't make any difference anyway.

Anyway, in such a remote place, no one would care if he committed suicide by shooting himself in the back a few times.

While Herbert was worried, Nenasha spoke up: [“I have a suggestion on this point.”]

"Oh?"

Herbert laughed and said jokingly, "You finally said it."

The reason why he insisted on letting Nenasha participate was for this moment.

He needs more help.

Even if this help comes at a price, he will still gladly accept it.

Since everything and anything requires a price, then - it is equivalent to no price.

If all the goods of destiny themselves are already implicitly taxed, then it would be equivalent to having no tax at all, wouldn't it?
[“I didn’t want to get too involved with this place before, but since you insist on letting me get involved, I won’t stop you.”]

Nenasha also laughed and asked: [“By the way, what do you think of Sophia?”]

"Very good, she is very obedient and loyal."

Herbert looked at the Centaur who was loyally cutting down more trees according to his instructions, and nodded with satisfaction.

well.

Sophia is really nice!
No need for food, no need for rest, no need for salary...he is simply the civil engineering worker chosen by God!
Since I didn't pay her and everything was voluntary on her part, there was no employment contract between us.

In other words - I, Herbert, am not a capitalist who exploits her!
She followed the instructions and completed the task. I was satisfied and she also realized her own value. It was a win-win situation for us.

It’s a blessing!

As if sensing the shameless thoughts in Herbert's heart, Nenasha's laughter became even more evil:

[“So, do you want more Heroic Spirits like her?”]

"oh!!?"

Herbert's eyes lit up and he revealed an ugly face: "Tell me about this in detail!"

Although I am not a capitalist...but then again.

It would be a waste to refuse such an employee!

Rather than letting them be exploited by other capitalists with even worse characters, it is better to let them enjoy the blessings under my leadership.

Correct.

I'm saving them!

"Nenasha, please tell me, how can I save them!?"

【"save?"】

No matter how evil the God of Harmony's ideas were, he could not keep up with the unconventional thinking of his ally.

Where is this going?
Why are you suddenly talking about salvation again?

"Don't ask any more questions, just tell me!"

[“…Forget it. I said it’s not enough.”]

Nenasha poked Herbert's hand that was stretched into the spring water with her tentacles and slapped the anxious guy away.

[“This is the remains of my kingdom of God. You guessed it right. There are indeed many heroic spirits like Sophia who are lost in the fog.”]

[“More than 99% of the heroes in the Kingdom of God have been destroyed, but the remaining ones are still quite a lot.”]

[“Most of them were not strong enough and were forced into a dormant state. Their soul cores were scattered throughout the Misty Mountains.”]

[“Some of them, like Sophia, have self-awareness and can act independently. They now have powerful strength and are no longer under my control.”]

The weak heroic spirits cannot resist the passage of time and can only shut down automatically and enter a dormant state.

However, those powerful Heroic Spirits can recharge themselves and gradually break away from the concept of Heroic Spirits.

Herbert also guessed something about this situation and frowned: "So, you mean, we need to fight them?"

Does this mean that I should go catch Pokémon?

Win the fight and drag it back?
What kind of primitive old tradition?

When I see someone of the opposite sex I like, I knock them out and drag them home...

[“Yes and no.”]

Nenasha laughed and said faintly:
[“There are two options before you now.”]

[“The first method is to go deep into the fog, come to the territory of the heroes and fight with them. After successfully defeating them, take out their soul cores and soak them in the wine of oblivion.”

[“Until their wills completely disappear and they become like Sophia now, they can be used by you.”]

Herbert nodded.

It really is a Pokémon.

And it's an evil inner-world Pokémon!
First use violence to regain, then use mental hypnosis and personality reset... It's really too dark!

However, if you think about it with your knees, you will know that this method is not easy.

Herbert was not sure about the current strength of these heroes, but referring to Sophia who occupied the territory in the outer area, the other heroes were at least at the legendary level.

To rashly enter the territory that the heroes have been managing for who knows how many years is to completely give up the geographical advantage to the other side.

Herbert was not in a hurry.

Since Nenasha took the initiative to propose two options without hesitation, there must be a better alternative.

"So, what's the other way?"

[“The other method is much more convenient.”]

Nenasha's voice suddenly became ethereal, and she whispered softly in his ear: ["Herbert, have you heard of the Heroic Spirit Pool?"]

"Pond of Heroic Spirits?"

Although Herbert knew that the Heroic Spirit Pool mentioned by the other party was probably not the same thing as the one he remembered, he still couldn't help asking:
"What do you mean, is there any limited edition for this period? How much is the guaranteed amount?"

Nenasha:?

[“What’s limited? What’s a big guarantee? What are you talking about?”]

"It's okay, just keep talking."

Herbert shook his head without changing his expression and continued, "What is the function of the Heroic Spirit Pool?"

[“You are such a weirdo…”]

The God of Harmony sighed again and continued, [“The Heroic Spirit Pool is the birthplace of the Heroic Spirits entering the Kingdom of God, and it is also the final destination of all the Heroic Spirits.”]

After being led by the angels of the gods, the souls of the believers will enter the Valley of the Gods, and the place where they were first born is the Pool of Heroes.

There they will obtain their own soul cores and cleanse their earthly memories, eventually gaining a new life, entering the Kingdom of God, and becoming a member of the Kingdom of God.

And when they finally dissipate, they will return to the Pool of Heroic Spirits and throw themselves into it.

Everything returns to the Pool of Heroic Spirits and once again integrates itself into the Kingdom of God.

It's like a cycle. ["When the Kingdom of God still existed, no one except the gods could change the location of the Heroic Spirit Pool, but the situation is different now... hehe."]

!!!

Herbert was stunned.

He thought of many situations, but he never expected that such an operation would happen.

"Wait! You mean to say..."

[“Haha, you guessed right. We can definitely build a new Heroic Spirit Pool.”]

Nenasha laughed happily and said proudly:

[“Anyway, this place is still part of the Kingdom of God. We are in the Kingdom of God, so why can’t we re-establish a Heroic Spirit Pool here?”]

After all, I am a god!
Whatever I want to do, is there anyone who can stop me?
Herbert had stood up by this time, with all sorts of thoughts running through his mind.

"So that means after we build the Heroic Spirit Pool, we can directly hatch new Heroic Spirits from it?"

"No, that's not right. There are no new heroes born now. What we need is to find those scattered soul cores and give them life again."

【“Yes.”】

"hiss……"

Herbert understood immediately and now had an idea of ​​what the next goal would be.

Collect Soul Cores in the Misty Mountains, and when you have enough, fuse them into a new Soul Core and awaken them in the Pool of Heroes.

No, this is really a card draw! ! ?

[“But that’s not all!”]

After Herbert was shocked for a while, Nenasha added fuel to the fire: ["You have to pay attention to one thing. What I said is that all the heroic spirits will be controlled by the Heroic Spirit Pool."]

Herbert was stunned for a moment, then thought of a more exaggerated possibility: "In other words, it also includes those heroic spirits who awakened on their own?"

[“Of course.”]

[“If you are in the enemy’s territory and it is inconvenient for you to fight them… then what if you move them to a place of your choice?”]

goo.

Herbert swallowed his saliva, thought of a very unreasonable operation, and said slowly: "In other words, we can directly transfer them over by force."

[“That’s right~”]

Damn it.

Directly select the opponent's heroic spirit, and then forcibly pull the opponent out of the pool.

Isn’t this a targeted increase in probability?
Single UP card pool, right?

However, although the part where they still need to be knocked out and brainwashed seems a little imperfect, it is already very exaggerated.

"So, let's be frank! What is the price for such a perfect method?"

If there was such an easy way in the world, Herbert believed that Nenasha would not have kept it a secret and would not have said nothing about it.

Well, there must be some cost, I guess.

"Do you need any special materials?"

[“This is indeed necessary. Not everyone is qualified to build it, but for you who are qualified, it is actually not difficult.”]

Operations of this level certainly cannot be accomplished simply by having a method. Even if ordinary people know the method, they are not capable of doing it.

And Herbert was qualified because he was Nenasha's ally.

[“But qualifications alone are not enough. If you want to build the Heroic Spirit Pool, you need at least two more things.”]

[“One is the remains of a part of the original Heroic Spirit Pond.”]

[“I can point you in the direction where it is, and you can take people to retrieve it, but it is likely to be occupied by a powerful heroic spirit now.”]

There is no doubt about this.

If a creation of this level does not have its own will like the Holy Grail, it will definitely be occupied by a strong person.

Herbert frowned slightly, feeling a certain degree of difficulty.

I'm afraid these two things are not so easy to obtain.

[“And the other is the water from the Heroic Spirit Pond.”]

After saying this, Nenasha's voice became more playful: ["As for this... have you seen it?"]

Ok?
"You've seen it? You... you mean, the Holy Grail of the Wine of Oblivion?"

[“Yes! That’s it! The wine of oblivion it carries now is enough to replace the water from the Heroic Spirit Pond!”]

After finishing speaking, Nenasha laughed happily and teased her ally with a complicated expression: [“Why, are you unhappy now?”]

"…It's not like I'm unhappy."

Herbert curled his lips and said helplessly, "It just beat someone up. I'm afraid it won't be easy to make it obey willingly."

[Indeed! ]

Not long ago, he had asked Freme to give the Holy Grail kid a good beating, and now it was probably still in a state of panic, and it was unknown when it would calm down.

Bad.

If I had known this earlier, I would have told Freme not to use such harsh force. It almost left a psychological trauma on the child...

"Well! According to its character, it will come to me after a while."

[“That’s true~”]

Although Herbert's previous behavior towards the Holy Grail was not friendly, it was not a big problem.

The Holy Grail today is equivalent to a newborn baby whose mind is still in childhood.

Emotions come and go quickly.

With its instinctive curiosity and affection for Herbert, it would probably come to him again like a silly roe deer in no time.

"As for it, we can only wait."

"As for the other wreckage...can you determine its approximate location now?"

[“Based on the area you divided, it’s probably in the Central Ring Road and close to the inner ring road.”]

Herbert thought silently for a while. Now the Eldar are located on the outer ring of the entire Misty Mountains.

All his previous journeys through the mountains were always carried out in the outer ring, and he had never gone to the dangerous middle ring.

Now, if we suddenly move to the middle ring road, or even areas close to the inner ring road, the corresponding risks may have increased by several orders of magnitude.

"Don't worry for now, we need to find another helper."

If Freme were to rely on herself alone, even with Sophia, it would be difficult to deal with the situation safely.

Herbert didn't want to take any risks if he could.

He didn't want to see any harm done to himself or them.

"Once Valentina's bloodline inheritance is completed, with her help, our chances of winning should be much better."

"Oh, I still have a ring I can use... Who should I look for next?"

[“Don’t you want to go investigate now?”]

"The risk is too great, let's not rush it."

Herbert suddenly felt a little strange. Normally, he was the one wandering around by himself, and Nenasha advised him to be more restrained. Why did it happen the other way around this time?

Did you buy a high-value insurance policy for me and are you also the beneficiary of the insurance policy?
Sensing Herbert's "doubt", Miss Harmony smiled triumphantly and asked, "Did I tell you to take a risk?"

"Huh? Do you have any idea?"

Herbert blinked, guessing that He had a special method, and complained with a curled lip, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Are you deliberately keeping us in suspense?
[“Haha, there wasn’t one before, but there is one now! Do you still remember the legendary ghost wolf that Sophia killed?”]

When they found Sophia, she was holding a huge wolf head tightly in her hand and did not let go until she fainted.

"Huh? Oh!"

The wolf head was thrown into the shadow by Herbert and allowed to be absorbed by Nenasha.

Because the material was the corpse of most of a legend, the digestion time this time was much longer than before.

"You absorbed some special abilities?"

[“Hehe~ Of course!”]

Nenasha snorted twice in triumph, and then her tone changed, speaking faintly like a ghost:
[“A living person entering the fog would be as dazzling as a torch, and would be easily noticed by them…”]

[“But what if it’s a spirit?”]

[“Will they still care so much? Haha…”]

　I didn’t forget the time today. I’m not an idiot who forgets two days! (Eyes move)
My waist hurt today, so I really didn't finish writing, I was just a little bit short.

By the way, I just bought a waist brace, and it’s a little better than before.

Update progress (52/234), working hard!
