Chapter 964: Chapter 601, Sorcery Sanctum_2
Moreover, within the territory,
undead mages and undead magic had always been on the fringes of combat power.
It indeed supplemented some long-range combat capabilities but was never the main force, always appearing to be expendable.
Fang Hao hoped that with the introduction of this building, undead magic classes would be able to see some improvement.
After all, it was a purple special building, so it wouldn’t be too shabby.
He collected the blueprint and continued to look at the next one.
...
[Skeleton Pillar: Refined stonework 1500, cast iron blocks 250, metal parts 120, living creature white bones 100.]
(Description: Columns made from the bones of living creatures, filled with the power of death.)
It was also a purple blueprint.
Its specific function was not described.
Only after building it would he see its effects.
He continued to look down.
All the blueprints that followed were blue in color.
[Tomb Guardian Set] One could tell from the name that it was equipment for undead soldiers.
The set consisted of five parts, including a breastplate, greaves, helm, gauntlets, and a ‘face guard,’ which was an additional piece compared to normal sets.
That is, a mask.
All five components reached level three defense.
The set’s attribute was called [Tomb Guardian].
[Tomb Guardian: Within a maximum distance of three meters, for every ally present, defense increases by 1%, up to a maximum of 20%.]
Upon seeing the attributes of this set of equipment, Fang Hao was startled, then overjoyed.
What good luck, this was practically custom-made equipment for him.
His army’s characteristic was its density; allies surrounded him from all sides.
This maximum 20% was tailor-made for his army.
At present, the territory’s infantry was equipped with the Orc [Storm Fine Iron Set], a blue four-piece set.
Although it was quite good, the Storm set was suitable for a small number of troops.
In Fang Hao’s army, however, the conditions for the [Tomb Guardian]’s 20% defense boost could be fully met.
Therefore, it was more appropriate to equip the [Tomb Guardian Set] in the army, and for a small number of soldiers, such as the twenty-man patrol mission troops from the tribe, the [Storm Set] was suitable.
When the time came, he could match the sets to the tasks performed by the troops.
He was quite satisfied with the effects of this set of equipment.
He collected all the blueprints.
The last three blueprints were all blue as well.
[Wild Giant Battle Armor], [Wild Giant Battle Boots], and [Giant Chain] appeared to be equipment for the Bone Giant.
But obviously, they didn’t form a complete set.
Later, he would see how big the Bone Giant was; if it was close to the size of a Troll, it could wear the Troll heavy armor set.
If it was larger, he would have to craft the [Wild Giant Battle Armor].
The last [Skeleton Sculpture Blueprint] was a miscellaneous blueprint.
It wasn’t equipment or a building; once crafted, it would just be a regular sculpture, with no attribute enhancements.
Moreover, from the name, it belonged to undead sculptures.
For him and most other races, bone sculptures were still unacceptable.
He collected all of them, and the blueprints turned into beams of light that burrowed into the Book of Lords.
Fang Hao continued to focus on the gold and silver treasure chests nearby.
Although they were far inferior to platinum, sometimes they could yield some nice things.
Six gold and two silver chests were opened in succession.

Swathes of light flashed, and blueprints scattered across the open space around him.
The treasure chests of the Undead do not hold the same type of mechanical devices as those of the Dwarves.
This faction is more about the intrinsic nature of being immortal, as well as supporting items like Viscera jars and transformation fields.
They possess a technology tree distinct from that of the Dwarves.
The once spacious backyard had become chaotic and cluttered.
Apart from sculptures standing on the ground, conference tables, and the ceiling-touching round tower, Fang Hao also spotted golden dentures, golden nails, and ornaments carved from human finger bones with patterns.
All these oddities from the underworld looked quite frightening.
Fang Hao went back to briefly review the record that had flashed by.
He filtered through it to see if there was anything useful that he needed.
First, discarding the blueprints in blue and green, his gaze turned towards the sole purple blueprint.
[White Bone Magic Claw Wand: Hardwood 12, Cast Iron Blocks 5, Mithril 3, Essence of Magic 1.]
(Description: A bone wand that fits very well with Undead aesthetics, it provides a significant enhancement to Dark Attribute Magic.)
Ah!
That’s not bad, a mage weapon.
In the military unit types, the presence of Undead mages had never been particularly high.
Beyond not having a specialized mage hero to lead them, the equipment of Undead mages had also always been rather average.
Furthermore, with their slow movement speed, low defense, and the need for charge time when casting spells,
it resulted in the absence of Undead mages from many battles.
Like in Amanda’s campaign to reclaim her country, not a single Undead mage was brought along.
Their slow movement speed would have slowed down the overall pace of the army.
With Amanda’s blitzkrieg tactics, they simply weren’t useful.
However, the disadvantages were there.
But the effects and power of mages could not be overlooked.
Especially when casting spells in unison, bombarding the enemy’s ranks with dense magic projectiles.
The effect was not much less than that of artillery shells.
Moreover, the negative status effects of Dark Attribute Magic had a strong impact on living creatures.
Now with this purple weapon in hand, and the making conditions not overly stringent,
he could equip his Undead mages with it upon returning.
It was just a pity that he didn’t have a mage class hero at hand.
Maybe he should ask Li Rong where the mages of the mage association who had died were buried.
He could pay a visit to their graves himself.
Well, that’s a good solution to consider for the future.
After recording everything in the Book of Lords, he filtered through the blueprints once more.
To see if there were any that could be of help to him.
Among them, there were two types of shields in the blueprints: [Turtle Shell Heavy Shield] and [Eagle Pattern Round Shield].
Heavy shields and round shields have their differences.
Simply put, heavy shields provide protection in terms of length and width, and they’re also heavier.
Round shields, on the other hand, are slightly smaller and lighter but with reinforced hardness in places.
Currently, Fang Hao had three types of blue shield blueprints at hand:
[Troll Heavy Shield][Beast Head Heavy Shield] and [Military Small Round Shield].
The [Military Small Round Shield], with its wooden structure, could be subject to replacements.
There was no need to replace the heavy shield ones, though.
[Tendon Longbow] could be put on the shelf as a product in the shop.
[Fine Iron Leather Cutting Knife] and [White Steel Carving Hand Saw] are tools for processing and gathering, which could also be of help to the territory.
As for the other blueprints, their use wasn’t all that big.
They could only be considered as an expansion to the collection of blueprints.
All the blueprints were catalogued.
Various items were still scattered around.
Fang Hao’s gaze also shifted to the Viscera jar standing to the side.
[Viscera jar (Purple)]
