Final Lord

Chapter 38 White Lady

The crow leader half-knelt in front of Lincoln and said nervously:
"We've searched everywhere from the territory to the Black Forest. We haven't found any villages built by any of the petty lords, nor any carriages, not even any obvious signs of a fight.

It was as if the little lords had disappeared out of thin air.

We also went to a bandit den in the Gobi Desert, which hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.”

"We've looked everywhere. It's impossible. How could they just disappear?" Lincoln angrily pulled out a map and said, "Draw the specific places you've searched on the map for me to see."

The crow was a bit embarrassed. His hands were made of bird claws and were not suitable for holding a pen. But Lincoln asked, so he picked up the pen with difficulty and drew a crooked circle on the map.

Looking at this circle that almost covered all the territory, Lincoln's heart finally settled down.

The man in the black robe came up to Lincoln and said in a mean voice, "Oh no! The cooked duck flew away."

"You're gloating!" Lincoln cursed angrily, followed by a violent coughing fit. "Cough cough cough! The master asked you to come here to assist me. If I mess up, you won't be able to get away with it."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Master Mage, please don't drag me into this. I'm here to oversee the preparation of the goods. As for the young lords, that's your business." The black-robed man swayed to Lincoln's previous seat, sat down, and said cheerfully:
"A Viscount-level Fire Seed and such a vast barony. This is old Gru's life's work. Do you know how much others would have to pay to obtain this territory?
Mage Lincoln, you are so lucky to be able to sit in this position so easily.

But luck won’t always be with you. If you can’t keep your seat, the owner can always find someone else to sit in it.”

Lincoln touched his chest, which was heaving up and down as he gasped for breath. "I understand. I can prepare the goods tonight, and you can pick them up at dawn tomorrow. I only have one request: help me find the young lord and Wei Yi Gru, and then kill them."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" The black-robed man laughed so hard his robe trembled and he fell back and forth. "It would have been nice if this had happened earlier. You always try to play it safe, and that's why you missed this opportunity."

If you had been ruthless and killed the young lord directly, wouldn't there have been so many problems?"

"Master Gru has done me a favor after all..."

"Look, you're here again. You're so nagging like a woman. No wonder you're so thin. You're so grateful, why do you want to kill him now?"

Lincoln walked over to the man in black robes, stroked the chair beneath him, and said intoxicatedly, "Isn't this... sitting on it? Fire and power are really good things. Once you get them, you don't want to leave."

"Hahahahaha!" The black-robed man laughed wildly. "It seems that the lady boss of the flower shop treated you very well yesterday. It must have been quite pleasant."

Lincoln's sinister face revealed an obscene smile. "That bitch, I've been pursuing her for so long, but she won't even look me in the eye. She keeps making up all sorts of excuses, but the truth is, she just thinks I'm ugly.

I used to think she was pure and innocent, my only true love. Now it seems she's just like any other woman. As long as you're strong enough, she can scream just as loudly as any other woman.

"Oh my, if her husband knew that the boss lady took the initiative to find you for him, he would probably be so angry that he would kill himself in jail."

"That's not the case. After all, I didn't do it in front of him. I can try next time." Lincoln squeezed the chair and licked his lips with his long tongue.

"Alright! If you want to do it, just do it. That's what a real man does." The man in black robe stood up, patted the chair and said, "Don't worry, this is yours. No one can take it away from you. Get the goods ready. Within a week, I'll show you their heads."

Seeing the black-robed men striding away, Lincoln called out in confusion, "Where are you going to find them?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm not one of those trash you have." The man in black robe waved his hand. Between his sleeves, one could vaguely see some strange black water flowing slowly.

Lincoln glanced at the chair and saw a large patch of foul-smelling filth where the man in black had sat.

"This guy is disgusting. Is it really worth making such a huge sacrifice for strength? He's crazy. If I were to become like him, I would rather die." Lincoln took the chair away with disgust and said to Crow, "Throw this away and get me a new one."

……

"Lord, are you looking for me?" Hearing Blind Cat's voice, Wang Bufu looked up at Blind Cat and said, "Blind Cat, I have a very important task for you."

The blind cat immediately stood at attention. "Master, please give me your orders. I will do it!"

Wang Bufu asked softly, "Blind Cat, do you know how you cavemen reproduce?"

The blind cat scratched its head and replied, "Reproduction? This... I don't know, Lord. When I was a child in the clan, it seemed like I heard crying sounds for no apparent reason, picked up babies for no apparent reason, and raised them to become cavemen."

"Even such a crucial inheritance has been lost? It seems that the destruction of the caveman civilization by the Earth Dragon Clan is more serious than I imagined." Wang Bufu shook his head and said:
"It all starts with your caveman nature.

Blind cat, although you cavemen and us humans both have the word "human" in their names, you are not humanoid creatures at all. Strictly speaking, you are not even animals, but plants."

"Ah? Plants? Plants like flowers and plants?" The blind cat man was stunned.

"Yes, but at a lower level. You are mosses."

"Moss?!" The blind cat was even more dumbfounded.

"Let me be more specific. You cavemen are a kind of intelligent moss that requires a rich earth element to flourish. As you go about your daily lives, your bodies release a type of pheromone. These pheromones are very light, lighter than air, and can only survive at the top of a confined space. If they're on the ground, they'll simply fly out and disappear.

When the pheromones of multiple cavemen intertwine, there is a chance that seeds will be produced, which will fall back to the ground and wait to germinate.

The seeds of you cavemen must grow in a place with a very strong scent of earth element.

Our territory is not dug deep enough and the earth element is not concentrated enough, so no new cavemen have appeared so far.

The confined space and the limitations of the earth element make it nearly impossible for you to reproduce on the ground."

The blind cat suddenly realized: "Oh! So this is how we cavemen came into being. I was wondering why babies appeared out of nowhere around our clan."

Wang Bufu continued, "The pheromone composition of you cavemen is very complex, and each caveman's pheromone is unique. The more pheromones that blend together in a confined space, the easier it is to produce caveman seeds."

The more cavemen there are, the faster the cavemen reproduce, and the more cavemen there are.

The fewer cavemen there are, the slower they reproduce, and the fewer cavemen there are.

30 is the life and death line for a caveman clan. Under normal circumstances, if the number of cavemen in a caveman clan falls below 30, the rate of cavemen birth will be slower than the rate of cavemen death. This will cause the number of cavemen in the clan to gradually decrease and eventually become extinct.

Blind Cat hammered his hand, and suddenly realized again: "No wonder. When we were young, when the tribe's numbers dwindled, the leader would start a war to annex smaller clans. I was wondering, so this is the reason."

Wang Bufu smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I'm talking about normal situations. There is also a special situation. If there are some places that are very suitable for cavemen to reproduce, then this rule will be broken.

In the cavemen's biological nest [underground cave], only a dozen cavemen are needed to reproduce normally.

If there's a "Mushroom Ring" near a Dark Cave, even a single-digit number of Cavemen can achieve population growth. If they're near a natural wonder like the "Eye of the Earth," two Cavemen can spawn a powerful clan.

Of course, these are rare outdoor structures that are hard to come by. We still have to use a more practical approach.”

Wang Bufu knocked on the table and said, "Remember the earth element crystals I asked you to condense? That's the most practical method. Find a sealed cave and fill it with earth element crystals to create a simple caveman breeding room. I calculated that at least 30 units of earth element crystals are needed, the more the better."

"Ah! 30 units." Blind Cat was dumbfounded. "I can only condense one unit a day. The time is not a problem, but the main problem is that the mana recovery can't keep up."

"I know." Wang Bufu said softly, "I didn't ask you to finish it now. Your magic points are very precious, and you can't use them all on condensing crystals.

What I mean is, you should spend all your free time meditating. Meditation can speed up your mana regeneration. As soon as your mana is full, immediately condense a little earth element crystal. Accumulate little by little until you have 30 units.

"I see. No problem, my lord." Blind Cat stood at attention and said, "I promise to complete the task."

Wang Bufu nodded and replied, "Yes. Go call Shan Pao over. I have some questions for him."

"Yes!"

After the blind cat left, Wang Bufu continued to write the military book. After a while, Shan Pao walked in cautiously.

"Lord, are you looking for me?"

Wang Bufu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said, "Shan Pao, you mentioned earlier that flying monster that makes a sound to attack you. Describe it to me in detail."

"Yes! In my perception, they are a group of monsters similar to birds, but they are extremely large, about the same size as us cavemen.

When they flap their wings, they make a loud whirring sound, and their calls sound like "yeah-yeah-yeah," which is very unpleasant to the ear.

"Okay, I got it." Wang Bufu let Shan Pao leave first, and he sneaked into the Bixi Valley to take a look. He easily found a large group of crane monsters with white feathers.

【White Crane】

"It really is a white-feathered crane. In my previous life, I couldn't even find such a rare monster with a lantern. I actually found one here. I'm really lucky."

Wang Bufu tapped his pen on the table. The monsters that roamed the Shen Gu World during the day were countless and varied, varying from place to place. But the elite monsters that appeared at night were universal across all Chaos Zones. There were only a few thousand of them, and players had already figured them out.

The white-feathered crane is one of them.

It is a Level 3 Extraordinary Monster, a social monster with long-range flight. It has a total of five special skills and is very troublesome to deal with.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that among the items dropped by the White Feather Crane, there is the SS-level resource White Feather.

Wang Bufu lowered his head and started writing military books again. After a while, Wei Yi poked his head out from the door of his room.

"Brother, you're calling me?"

"Well, come in and talk." Wang Bufu put down his pen and said to Weiyi, who was sitting next to him, "Weiyi, you have enough experience in the first level of transcendence, right?"

"Hehe. I really can't hide it from you. The Drowned Poison Mother gave me so much experience that it filled me up all at once."

"Have you found a job for the Extraordinary Level 2?"

"Yes, brother. The teacher told me all the resources and rituals before he left. There is no shortage of resources, but the ritual is a bit troublesome. We need to find a terrain with a strong fire element."

"Level 2 of the Flame Swordsman, in a terrain rich in fire elements... Is it the Volcano Swordsman or the Crimson Flame Swordsman?"

"It's the Red Flame Swordsman, brother." Wei Yi's eyes widened in surprise: "The Flame Swordsman also has the Volcano Swordsman level? Even the teacher didn't know."

"It turns out to be this route." Wang Bufu shook his head and asked, "Sister, do you want to jump out of the car?"

"What do you mean by jumping off the train?"

"It means changing my job. Instead of following the path of the Flame Swordsman, I'll take a different path."

"Huh?" Weiyi never dreamed that Wang Bufu would actually say this to her. "Can I still jump out of the car?"

"Yes. The Flame Swordsman path combines fire magic with swordsmanship. It's powerful, but not suitable for you.

Your talent, Flawless Sword Heart, increases both attack and acceleration, and has a 15% critical strike rate, making it suitable for a pure swordsman route with agility and attack speed. The purer and more violent, the better.

Spell-like abilities are better than nothing for you, and will only distract you and limit your growth.

I have an SSS-level Swordsman class path here. The legendary stage is called Bai Tian Nu. Its combat power is incredibly strong, and it also has magic break and magic immunity. It can counter all monsters that use magic and spell-like abilities.

"White Lady...what a strange name. Is there a Black Lady?"

"Yes, but that's a class exclusive to succubi, and we humans can't do that. You can forget about becoming a Black Goddess, but it's still not too late for you to switch to a White Goddess. Are you interested?"

"Yes!" Wei Yi agreed immediately, but then became conflicted. "But as for the teacher... if I give up the Flame Swordsman, does that count as betrayal?"

"I guarantee it." Wang Bufu glanced at Wei Yi and asked, "Do you think your teacher is better or me?"

"The teacher is stronger, but I don't agree that you know so many things, so you must be the best." Wei Yi answered very decisively.

"Do you think your teacher is more trustworthy or am I more trustworthy?"

"It must be you. You are my brother."

"Then listen to me. Don't advance yet. Wait for me to get the materials for you and follow the path of Bai Tiannu."

Wang Bufu looked at Wei Yi and laughed.

"You're honored. Being a Daytime Woman is a profession that countless female Chosen Ones in previous lives have dreamed of."

"Why? Is Bai Tiannv so powerful?"

"Because the White Lady's Charm increases in all stages, her combat effectiveness is positively correlated with her appearance. At the Legendary stage, she's not only a capable fighter, but also breathtakingly beautiful." Wang Bufu said with a smile, "When you're ready to give a bunch of lickers a chance at life with just a flirtation, you'll know I was right to let you change your class."

Wei Yi asked doubtfully, "What is a dog licker?"

"The man pursuing you, no, maybe more than one man."
