Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor

Chapter 804 - 367: Nature Sprite (Part 3)

Luo De nodded approvingly, "Now I’ve decided that at the end of this month, I will select the ten most outstanding Extraordinaries."

"At the same time, I will bestow upon these ten Extraordinaries the natural seeds as a reward."

The loud voice echoed in the hall, and the wizard apprentices were visibly stunned for a moment, then excitement appeared in their eyes.

Currently, there are only over forty wizard apprentices in the Wizard Tower, and the wizard apprentices in Frost Leaf Town have already received the natural seeds.

This means that at least thirty percent have a chance to receive the natural seeds!

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty!"

One of the wizard apprentices immediately reacted, bowing with joy.

At this moment, the other wizard apprentices also reacted, bowing one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

"Alright."

Luo De waved his hand, interrupting the continuous thanks. Under everyone’s gaze, he crossed the hall into Melos’ private domain, now known as Lab No. 2.

The Knights responsible for the guard all recognized Luo De and did not hinder him in any way, to the point that Zhuo Ya and Senda did not even realize Luo De had entered, as they were in a heated argument:

"No, that’s the defensive rune for the outer shell, it can’t be installed here!"

"You’re the one who’s wrong; this is the rune logic array, which controls the behavior of the Mechanical Guard!"

"You foolish woman, Lord intends to place the Magic Spirit here, there is no rune logic array!"

"Senda, even a Magic Spirit needs a parasitic position!"

"It’s not that complicated at all, believe me, let’s open up another Mechanical Guard and see!"

"Fine, let’s go!"

...

Senda and Zhuo Ya’s voices abruptly halted, and hurried footsteps echoed inside the room.

Following that, the two of them rushed out of the lab, running straight into Luo De, who wore a broad smile.

The two stopped, stunned for a moment, then bowed, "Lord!"

Vivian, having heard this, immediately peeked out, and softly reminded them, "It’s Your Majesty!"

"Ah! Deepest apologies, Your Majesty!"

The two instantly realized their mistake, hurriedly kneeling to pay respect, "Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, we have been so focused on examining that half of the Mechanical Golem these days, our minds are muddled, please forgive us!"

Zhuo Ya explained loudly with her head bowed.

As the former daughter of a Baron, Zhuo Ya naturally understood some etiquette. Such a mistake in addressing could be a grave offense, an affront to authority.

"Stand up quickly, this is no crime."

Luo De smiled and stepped forward to help the two up, "This precisely shows how serious you two are."

"But I’m concerned that if you two keep arguing like this, you might fall apart."

"No worries, Your Majesty,"

Zhuo Ya asserted, "Only through argument and debate can truth be born, and Master Senda is not a petty person."

"I wouldn’t want to part ways with Miss Zhuo Ya,"

Senda shrugged and said, "It’s likely that other noble ladies aren’t as smart as her, nor could they tolerate my bad temper."

Observing the state of the two, Luo De smiled reassuringly.

Luo De then took out the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl and handed it to Zhuo Ya,

"This was refined from the purified Evil Spirit by you. I call it the ’Natural Sprite.’

Zhuo Ya’s eyes instantly widened, and she reached out with both hands, carefully accepting the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl.

"Did it succeed?"

Zhuo Ya looked incredulously at the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl in her hand, undoing the seal without hesitation.

The green figure of Zero appeared suspended quietly in mid-air, obedient and without a trace of the Evil Spirit.

Senda was equally curious, carefully examining the quietly floating sprite,

"This little creature doesn’t seem to be an Evil Spirit nor an Elemental Spirit..."

Luo De nodded, looking at Zhuo Ya and Senda, "Next, I need you two to place it inside the Mechanical Guard."

"No problem!"

Zhuo Ya, who had been eager for a long time, quickly took the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl and ran into the warehouse.

Senda followed closely, entering the warehouse and getting busy right away.

It seemed they had indeed gained a lot of knowledge during this period, skillfully dismantling the metal casing on the chest of the Mechanical Guard.

A complex metal structure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Numerous metal brackets crisscrossed, forming a tight network.

At the center of the framework, a metal plate engraved with runes was clearly visible.

Seven gemstones were embedded around the metal plate, with an irregular circular groove at its core.

The inside of the groove was similarly inscribed with runes, featuring intricate magic patterns.

Holding the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl, Zhuo Ya carefully reached into the chest of the Mechanical Guard.

With a light "click" sound, the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl was pressed into the groove.

Zhuo Ya withdrew her hand, stepping back to observe the Mechanical Guard.

No one spoke, and all eyes were on the Mechanical Guard.

The warehouse fell into silence, with only the sound of everyone’s breathing.

Time passed second by second.

The Mechanical Guard still stood quietly, showing no sign of reaction.

Its body remained motionless, like a cold statue.

The Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl also showed no response.

"Could it be that the magic patterns inside this Mechanical Guard have deteriorated over time?"

Senda asked with furrowed brows.

"Impossible, I checked; the runes inside are intact."

Zhuo Ya asserted firmly, then speculated, "If there’s an issue, it would be that this soul’s consciousness isn’t strong enough to drive this Mechanical Guard..."

"Buzz――"

The faint sound on the Mechanical Guard interrupted Zhuo Ya’s speech.

Immediately, the seven gemstones lit up one after another, with the runes on the metal plate beginning to flow, as light traversed along the engraved lines.

The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire chest.

The next moment, a green glow shone through the helmet’s seam of the Mechanical Guard, and a deep voice rumbled slowly,

"Thank you, Master."
