Chapter 1373: Chapter 934: Is This the Black Crystal Source or the Lord of Mourning? Chapter 1373: Chapter 934: Is This the Black Crystal Source or the Lord of Mourning? Actually, for Ange, the Chaos Stone Farm no longer holds any value as the environment is poor and the area small, rendering it impossible to expand the cultivation scale, and without sufficient water and fertilizer, Ange can’t optimize and cultivate them.

Moreover, it is located on the patrol route of the border defense forces. Although Nagi used some tricks to divert the patrol routes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. There’s always a risk of exposure, and if someone from above comes down to inspect, these tricks will be ineffective.

Ange has already planted the Chaos Tree in the Forest of Foehn Wind. With the protection of the World Tree, even if someone enters the forest, they probably won’t be able to find the Chaos Tree. The forest mists can make them wander in circles.

With the fertile and secure environment of the Forest of Foehn Wind, maintaining the Chaos Stone Farm is no longer very meaningful. It is only to have a temporary supply of Chaos Stones until the new Chaos Tree grows.

“That being said, the Chaos Stone Farm could really be sold, why not sell it and exchange it for a noble title?” Negris suggested.

Ange nodded.

“Alright.” Silver Coin nodded, writing something on his palm.

Negris curiously asked, “What are you writing?”

“Just jotting down the resources I currently can utilize,” replied Silver Coin.

“You’re just scribbling on your hand, why don’t you actually write it down?” Negris asked perplexedly.

Silver Coin shook his head: “Can’t write it down, it’s all memorized, this way it helps to reinforce my memory, and creates a memory reflex. If one day I forget how much money I have, I just need to trace my palm and I’ll remember.”

Negris instinctively traced his palm and nearly cried, “I also remembered, I don’t have a single coin.”

Silver Coin comforted, “Lord Negris, your true form is the most valuable treasure, the Bronze Book that seals Gods…”

Negris flipped through the Bronze Book pages irritably, glaring at Silver Coin, wasn’t this uncovering a shortcoming?

Silver Coin awkwardly changed the topic: “Since we have a Chaos Stone Farm valued at a billion, I’ll start working on this matter, so no one else beats us to it.

“Is that okay?” Negris hesitated, “You should gather some intelligence first, then make a decision. It doesn’t matter whether the farm is sold or not, what matters is to not expose everyone.”

“It won’t happen, handling this matter itself will collect a lot of intelligence. Otherwise, just relying on what we hear in the market, we can’t collect any key information,” said Silver Coin.

Negris curiously asked, “How do you plan to handle it?”

“Of course, by having a major figure from the Divine Light Association with a farm for sale, send me to connect with Your Majesty. I’ll come using a projection to discuss and see what transaction method could satisfy and reassure both parties, while the Lord will naturally be that person from the Divine Light Association,” Silver Coin explained.

“My goodness, aren’t you afraid they’ll catch you and burn you with Mummy Cloth? Ange currently can’t protect you,” Negris said.

Silver Coin rolled his eyes helplessly, “Lord Negris, am I conning you less, so you don’t trust my abilities? I won’t give them that chance. At most, I’ll lose a body, but the Friel Queen would lose her credibility.”

Seeing Silver Coin’s enthusiastic demeanor, Negris knew he hadn’t changed; he was still that Goblin Swindler who dared to trick the Elf Queen with just a World Tree Seedling. Back then, Silver Coin didn’t even have a body double and still took risks, far more daring than now.

This has to do with his nature; nature is hard to change, Negris didn’t bother to say more, only cautioning, “Just be careful.”

“Alright, Lord, Your Majesty, I’ll be leaving now,” Silver Coin bowed and left with the starting capital Ange had given him.

But not much later, he ran back, “Lord, what’s the situation with those kids outside? Can I hire them?”

Ange nodded, and Negris said, “They’re homeless children, unrelated to us. It was that woman called Lise who adopted them. You go ask her about it. Why are you and Anthony both like this, always fond of taking in kids?”

“Lord Anthony probably just wants to give the children more opportunities. He’s a good person. My main reason is that orphans have less complex social connections and are very moldable, not attracting much attention.” Silver coin said and then ran out.

Not long after, even Lise was lured away by him because she needed to earn money to buy fresh milk for the kids.

“…” Negris was speechless. Why are these guys so good at tricking people?

When he turned to Ange, he found that Ange was already busy with his own things, completely ignoring his conversation with Silver coin. And the Monarch was there, curiously sizing up Ange’s actions, everything seemed to revert back to normal.

Long accustomed to Ange’s ‘discuss things other than farming among yourselves’ attitude, Negris said, “Ange, help me with a body.”

Ange nodded, then continued with the work in his hands. One by one, the Chaos Stones exploded under his gaze, and the splintering fragments and energy struck his left hand.

Negris didn’t understand and leaned close to the Monarch to quietly ask, “What is he doing?”

“He is embedding the Power of Chaos into a Mechanical Construct. I named this method Crystal Coating,” the Monarch said.

Negris protested, “Why are you naming his invention?”

“You know how bad Ange is at naming things. You name it then,” the Monarch said irritably.

Negris put his hands on his hips, “I’ll also call it Crystal Coating.”

The Monarch’s fingers twitched, feeling an urge to crumple this annoying book.

Negris quickly changed the topic, “Why coat a wooden body with crystals? Wood is so soft, isn’t he planning to change it to bones?”

The wooden construct body looked too fragile to Negris, no matter how he looked at it.

“Haha, you can’t tell either, right? I was almost fooled too. Take a closer look,” the Monarch couldn’t help but laugh.

Negris leaned closer and still couldn’t see anything. He turned his head doubtingly and said, “You weren’t almost fooled, you were fooled, right? You’re trying to use laughter to hide your embarrassment.”

The Monarch awkwardly rubbed his fingers and said, “Not at all. But his wooden body has turned into the World Tree. Except for that outer layer, underneath it’s all extremely hard World Tree wood, and the coated Power of Chaos has also been integrated. If you peel off his skin now, underneath it’s all Power of Chaos.”

Curious Negris tried to scrape it a few times, but sadly, being just a specter now, he couldn’t scrape off anything.

Just then, Ange pulled out a Black Crystal and tossed it into the recently exploded Chaos Stone Energy Orb. The Black Crystal was blasted out immediately and coated onto Ange’s arm.

Unfortunately, the fragments of the Black Crystal couldn’t adhere, and Ange shook his hand, causing the Black Crystal fragments to flutter down.

“You wanted to coat the Black Crystal onto yourself, a Black Crystal Construct? Too bad, it didn’t stick,” Negris said regretfully.

However, Ange seemed unfazed and turned to the Monarch, saying, “Monarch, give it a try.”

The Monarch took off his leather armor, revealing a purple-golden arm. Ange quickly coated it with a Black Crystal, which adhered firmly and couldn’t be scraped off. After tempering it a bit more with the Soul Fire, it fused completely.

“Wow, this works too? If you get coated with a layer of Black Crystal, are you considered the Black Crystal Origin or the Lord of Mourning?”
