970: Chapter 590 Skeleton Cannon 970: Chapter 590 Skeleton Cannon “Do we have a new Special Ability?” Gaven was not interested in Grace’s death journey; he was more concerned with the Shadow ssenger, a connection that usually manifested itself as a Special Ability.
“Is Lord referring to this?” Grace crisply displayed her professional panel to Gaven.
Her Attributes were extrely similar to those of Daphne, who had not received a special template; her Intrinsic Attributes were significantly higher than those of an ordinary person but had not reached Transcendent level.
Unless one was exceptionally gifted, there were not many who could achieve Transcendent Attributes just on the strength of their Professional Level, especially the three major Intrinsic Attributes.
The physical Attributes were sowhat easier to enhance, particularly for Barbarians.
If they had not reached Transcendent Strength or Constitution by that point, they could not be considered qualified Barbarians.
Her profession was the standard Necromancer, with abilities leaning towards the Necromancer System.
Soon, Gaven found what he was looking for.
Manipulation of Shadow (Special Ability) — Your shadow has been transford into a Shadow; you can summon it to fight for you.
Upon death, it will disperse into shadows and cannot be summoned for twenty-four hours; you will receive true damage equivalent to the Shadow Life Dice count and cannot heal until the Shadow reforms; once it has reford, you heal automatically.
Your Shadow has a connection with Weizemay Manor; you can send it back to the Manor, or summon it back to you.
“That’s the one.” Gaven couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, “Estelle, the task of establishing the Shadow Information Processing Center is yours.
Do you know how to proceed?”
“I’m sorry, Lord, I’m too dull-witted, I have no idea about this matter,” Estelle said with a face full of guilt.
She understood every word ‘Shadow Information Processing Center’ but put together, she was clueless.
“I was too hasty,” Gaven said excitedly, “It’s simple; we assign so clever True Wraiths to form a record-keeping team.
They will note down the identities of Shadows like Ms.
Grace, record the information they bring back upon their return, then summon the Shadows who need to know this information and have them bring it to their masters.
That would complete the information transfer.
The key here is the Shadow ssenger.
Let’s start by resurrecting ten Shadow ssengers; I will undertake their training myself.”
It was a new concept for the era, and not only was Estelle utterly befuddled, but even the broad-minded Daphne only had a vague understanding.
She had a general direction but no clear concept of specific operations.
Gaven had the advantage of having seen another world.
He may not have deep insights, but he could set up the frawork without difficulty, and the rest would be improved during usage.
The Dwarves Elves were not needed for the Shadow ssenger because, compared to intelligence, loyalty was most crucial to ensure that the transmitted information was accurate and free of personal interpretation.
In this regard, Gnolls had a distinct advantage, but placing them beside a human army as ssengers was too conspicuous and prone to targeted treatnt.
The best solution was for each race to employ their own ssengers, directly selecting from the units that needed them.
Of course, that was a matter for the future.
Even if the capacity of Weizemay Manor allowed it, his resources did not.
Resurrection cost money, with casting materials for each revival costing at least five thousand Gold Coins.
Everything else was negotiable, but the core material, diamond, could not be bought with just money.
Due to conflicts with the cities along the Giant Dragon Coast, they had not acquired a single diamond.
The total diamonds in the Conqueror Army’s possession were insufficient to revive a hundred people.
With a great battle looming, such precious resources could not be wasted.
“If Lord has sufficient funds, perhaps you could take a look at the West Gate Black Market Auction.
They only deal in money and don’t care about anything else.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the Conqueror Army or the ruler of Hell themselves; they’ll sell to them.
The only downside is they only accept cash purchases, no bartering—though you can choose to auction your goods there, convert them into cash, and then bid on the items you need,” Grace offered her strategy, knowing the predicant Gaven faced.
She had adapted quickly to her role, aligning herself completely with the Conqueror Army and disregarding their destruction of Efanso’s original regi.
“I’ve heard of the West Gate Black Market Auction but never had the chance to experience it,” Gaven showed a flicker of interest.
Daphne hurriedly advised, “Lord’s identity is sensitive, and it’s not advisable to venture deep into enemy territory.
Many dangers in this world do not co from the front but from the blades in the dark—and that’s exactly what West Gate’s Mask of Dark Night excels at.
They have no moral bottom line and won’t show rcy just because Lord goes there to trade.”
“I know, I’m not planning to go myself,” Gaven said, not allowing his recent victory over the Corpse Spider Elves to make him complacent or think he was invincible.
Across the entire Felen Continent, he was far from being among the top in terms of personal strength, especially against those Legendary Spellcasters.
The Ninth Ring Spell was the mortal limit, but not for those Legends, who had access to even Superior Legendary Spells beyond it.
