Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 886: Chapter 332: The Great Mage’s Depths and Three Epic Items!

"Unfortunately, this Great Mage Gnadi is already dead, otherwise I might be able to find a way to master these two skills."

Cao Xing felt a bit regretful.

After all, [Wind God’s Blessing] is a spell created by Great Mage Gnadi himself, and with his death, this skill is essentially lost.

In his hand, a dark green book appeared once again.

It contained a strong magical wave, with large gilded letters inscribed on it.

[Gnadi’s Magic Handbook (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Tool Effect: It records some cultivation insights of Great Mage Gnadi, including some advanced spells he comprehended. By practicing continuously, you can learn the mage’s spells]

[Spells Available for Learning: Multiple Wind Blades, Wind Blade Sweep, Flying Wings, Wind Chains, Storm Eye (Advanced Magic), Wind God’s Blessing (Master Level Magic)]

[Requirements for Learning: Magic Affinity, Wind Element Control Mage]

[Time Required for Learning: Unknown]

(Note: Depending on the mage’s talent and effort, the time required to master various skills varies. If you hit a bottleneck, seeking a highly skilled mentor will yield twice the result with half the effort...)

...

Upon seeing the effect, Cao Xing was once again stunned in place.

This magic handbook actually contains as many as six skills.

Among them are four enhanced wind element spells, one advanced magic, plus one master-level magic!

It can be said that any wind element mage with this handbook will regard it as a treasure.

If you can learn all of them, you will become a new wind element Great Mage!

The most crucial thing is that the ’Flying Wings’ and ’Wind God’s Blessing’, two divine skills Cao Xing wanted, are unexpectedly included!

Cao Xing exclaimed happily: "Haha! I just said the skills of Great Mage Gnadi were about to be lost, and I didn’t expect them to be recorded in this magic handbook."

"That’s great!"

He treasured the magic handbook like a gem and put it into his backpack.

At the same time, he secretly set a goal.

Later, plan to recruit a wind element mage back, let him quickly learn the skills above.

Then, another item appeared in Cao Xing’s hand.

This looked like a black burlap sack, with a peculiar spatial fluctuation on top.

[Gnadi’s Necrotic Spirit Bag (Orange): Special Item]

[Quality: Epic]

[Tool Effect: Can put some undead units that have lost the ability to resist, or friendly undead (all units without life characteristics belong to undead units), into the necrotic spirit bag and carry them around.]

[Storage Space: 1000 slots (each slot can only accommodate a unit no taller than 2 meters and no larger than 2 cubic meters; each additional meter will occupy an extra slot)]

(Note: Gnadi exhausted his assets to ask a necrotic system Great Mage to create this necrotic spirit bag for him.)

...

"My goodness! A necrotic spirit bag with as many as 1000 slots!"

Cao Xing was instantly surprised.

This was the first time he encountered something that could store troop types.

If this thing is used well, the effect may not be inferior to legendary level equipment.

Although it is said that it can only store lifeless units.

But besides undead, those mechas and robots are also lifeless units, and there is a lot of operational space.

And what further made Cao Xing curious.

Do the undead count as necrotic units?

If undead are counted, then can he discuss with Duke Baladin later, to have him put his undead army into the necrotic spirit bag for a while?

"With my friendship with Baladin, he shouldn’t refuse, right?"

Cao Xing laughed, then happily put it into his backpack.

Yet, the previous harvest is already astonishing.

But there is still another important harvest.

It is a fragment of a treasure bead!

[Moon Crown Treasure Fragment]

Taking a look at its attribute, Cao Xing thought secretly: "Sure enough, it’s similar to the treasure bead I obtained last time."

"Both increase spell strength by 20%, but only when all pieces are assembled can the full power of this legendary treasure bead be unleashed."

Cao Xing didn’t have much expectation for the task of collecting 12 treasure bead fragments initially.

Unexpectedly, he harvested the second piece here.

It’s a twist of fate.

Cao Xing’s lips curved into a smile.

"This harvest is excellent."

If the previous supplies were for the territory development later.

Then what has been obtained from this Great Mage’s spatial grid can greatly enhance the territory combat power and improve Cao Xing’s own survival ability.

Regarding the upcoming plunder, Cao Xing felt more confident.

After confirming once again, nothing was missed.

With an excited heart, Cao Xing left the magic tower of the Great Mage.

...

...

"Whew——"

The late-night streets were deserted, the cold wind slicing through the air.

Cao Xing stood in front of the magic tower, surveying the surroundings.

At the same time, he began to ponder the next step in his plan.

According to his previous thought, he intended to return to the outer city district for a bit of scavenging.

But he had just seen through the window from the top floor of the Great Mage’s magic tower, a building at the center of Dorun Lake City.

A grand mansion stood there.

It occupied a vast area, almost comparable to Cao Xing’s entire territory.

On the plaque at the mansion’s entrance were three large characters.

[City Lord Mansion].

Clearly, that was the most important building in all of Dorun Lake City.

Speaking of which, as the lord of a city, the Dorun Lake City Lord was also a noble, holding the title of an Earl.

His jurisdiction included not only Dorun Lake City but also a large number of surrounding villages and towns.

His domain was over ten times the size of a Baron’s territory.

For many years, these subordinate villages and towns also generated considerable revenue for him.

With the addition of the prosperous Dorun Lake City, the daily income was astounding.

His mansion certainly held an abundance of resources.

The key point was that the resources collected by the Light Church in the city center might also be concentrated in the City Lord Mansion.

Moreover, Cao Xing faintly sensed some strange presence within the City Lord Mansion.

"On this trip into the city, besides scavenging for resources, I also want to see what these people are up to."

"And up till now, after wandering the city for so long, aside from a Red Robed Bishop who has just returned, I haven’t seen any other important figures."

"Where have those people gone?"

It was quite apparent now.

There was definitely something wrong inside the City Lord Mansion!

After pondering for a moment, he decided to go and take a look.

Cao Xing proceeded along the central street.

The closer he got to the City Lord Mansion, the more Cultists were patrolling.

Cao Xing even spotted a few White Robed Priests.

His heart stirred slightly, but he continued to approach without revealing his intentions.

And those patrolling Cultists, upon seeing Cao Xing in disguise as a squad leader, had no particular reaction.

They merely asked him what he was doing here in the middle of the night, to which Cao Xing concocted an excuse and blended in.

After all, a Commander Level Disguise Technique wasn’t something that could be easily seen through.

Thus, he made his way smoothly to the vicinity of the City Lord Mansion.

However, the gates were tightly closed.

There was also a squad of Cultists guarding the entrance, looking as if they didn’t want anyone near.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided not to approach and chose a different entry point.

After all, the City Lord Mansion covered a large area.

Considering the manpower of the Light Church, comprehensive defense was impossible.

Moving along the walls of the City Lord Mansion, Cao Xing advanced.

He quickly arrived at a relatively secluded area behind the City Lord Mansion.

Cao Xing, like a thief, crouched at the corner of the wall, constantly vigilant of the surroundings, and listening for any noise from inside.

Through the wall, Cao Xing sensed a strong aura of evil!

In addition, there were numerous footsteps.

"Huh? In the dead of night, are there still so many people inside the City Lord Mansion?"

Cao Xing decided to sneak inside to take a look.

Cautiously, he climbed over the wall, and then jumped down, landing in a patch of grass.

[You have entered a special area: City Lord Mansion...]

[Notice! This area has been occupied by the Light Church, with an extremely lethal level of danger, proceed with caution...]

...

"A lethal level of danger?"

Cao Xing felt a stir in his heart, which also piqued his curiosity even more.

Upon confirming that there was no one around, Cao Xing emerged from the grass, then slowly moved forward.

As he stepped through a door and saw the scene inside, his pupils suddenly contracted!

Because he saw, in that moment within the City Lord Mansion, stood a multitude of pale figures!

...
