Leo really wanted to upgrade his appraisal skill now, these artifacts were Legendary grade and the abilities of these artifacts were too overpowered, and the previous portal thing allowed Miner King to come here.
Does it mean this thing can even remove space if it is considered space as obstaan cle, I couldn't help but shiver at the thought.
The Miner King looked at the builders in astonishment and said "You are correct dwarves, you have a keen eye."
And after that, they started conversing about the artifact and likes.
'Looks like apart from building these guys have things for tools too.' Leo thought and agreed internally after all they were Dwarves and most of the time they were shown as excellent blacksmiths.
'But this was not what they were here for.' both Miners and Leo screamed internally.
Thankfully the king and the builders sensed the awkward atmosphere and ceased their talks as George chuckled awkwardly and said "So, let's begin mining. With the builders, our task would be easier."
To which the Miners responded with "YESSS, LET'S MINE."
After that, everyone including builders looked at me intensely making me nervous as I asked the king "So, how about the payment?"
Without thinking the king said, "There is no need for payment Chief Leo Lionheart, think of this as a free service."
While I was happy at listening to it I didn't want to owe favor that too after making the Miner King mine for me (though it is not a big thing considering the difficulty of the task.) "Please, King George let me."
At which he shook his head and said "You don't need to. But, if you insist we will talk about it later." His tone didn't leave any room for negotiation.
After that, I turned to the builders and asked "Have completed the construction To which both of them nodded and said, "Yes, the barracks are now available for Archer, and Army Camp has improved and has a larger capacity."
This made me happy as I checked the notifications I received.
[Congratulations Chief on completing the achievement
'Discover New Troops' by upgrading Barracks to level 2.
Rewards - 5 Gems, 50 Xp, Targets X 10]
He immediately claimed the reward and they were put in his inventory with the Xp being contributed to his level bar he didn't check what the targets were but he had a guess that it was for Archers.
Satisfied he looked at the Miners and Builders and said "I am going to open a portal to the fields. Look out for any potential danger."
After which he mentally commanded the portal to Elixir Fields to open it.
[-100 Magic]
The magic consumed was a lot for current him but it started recovering immediately by two points per second.
The portal opened it was pinkish-violet in color one could see an environment where almost everything was purple and pink like elixir, even the clouds there were pinkish-violet as if their elixir rains, which Leo didn't doubt was far from the truth.
He could hear gasps of surprise and astonishment from both Miners and Builders alike even though he was tranced by its beauty.
"Welcome to the Elixir Fields, so shall we start the work?" He said gesturing towards the plane field that was a bit green and suitable for their work.
His voice woke everyone from a trance as Miner King said "This place is very beautiful but equally dangerous, I can feel this place trying to corrupt us but is unable due to us being Miners. I can already sense several presences that can pose a bit threat if caught off-guard."
"Indeed, it is true that is why I needed the Miners. As for the presence they are indeed a trouble but they are still relatively far and will not cause trouble, for now." Leo said.
"Let them come, I'll show them why you should never disturb a builder's building," Do-Right said showing his stone hammer.
"And a Miner mining." Added another mining after which both of them shook hands and started laughing.
Ignoring them I said "So, let's start. Builders and Miners will set the Elixir Collector while I will look for the monsters here." To which no one objected the only people who couldn't fight here were the builders even though they were strong enough to crush a normal human barehand and miners could protect them too.
[Miner- Epic<Legendary Type< p>
Level- 20
Strength -Superhuman (1 ton)
Speed- Superhuman (while Mining)]
Durability - Regenerative]
[Miner King- Champion Type
Level- 100 (Unawakened)
Strength - Monster (60 tons)
Speed- Speed of Sound (While mining)
Durability - Superhuman]
(Refer to the power levels chapter)
Threat- Small City level
These were their raw stats which made Leo confident and also making him more determined to get stronger.
The reason he decided to look out for the monsters was to check whether he could level up by killing them maybe he could get some unexpected loot from them.
As they started building the Elixir Collector and setting up ley lines (the materials are from Elixir Collector) Leo started looking around for monsters but didn't dare to go far, for both his and the builders' and miners' safety.
After all, who knows which monster pops up he is not that strong either, though he is confident he could take down some low-level monsters with his speed and magic.
While his strength is not much he could make up for it with his speed and tough body and who said he couldn't strengthen his body with magic?
So he started his hunt.
He didn't need to go far as he encountered his first target.
(Note he could check the status of beings who have a lower level than or are weak otherwise, it will give a general description.)
[Elixir Mites-Common
Level-5
Strength -Very weak
Speed - Peak Human
Durability- Weak
Be careful of these little creatures once they make contact with you they will start corroding you.]
"A vague description but enough to know that I shouldn't touch that thing." Said Leo after looking at the basic description.
Elixir Mites looked like a drop of elixir but had holes for eyes and mouth and were pink in color.
He immediately took out a sword he had bought earlier it resembled a claymore that Barbarians usually wield.
But, when he was about to attack he remembered something "Shit, I don't know about how to wield this thing and I don't there are more of these things. And I am not going to attack without any knowledge after all these things are not slimes and I am not an isekai protagonist."
(Well it was my fault as I forgot)
He retreated and went near the Miners who started building.
He opened the store and looked for anything that would help him in this situation.
While his bloodline helps him in these aspects it doesn't mean he will master it immediately.
He opened the card shop so he could also check the ability of his bloodline.
[Cards available to the host that he can assimilate.
Barbarian (Level depends on host)- 10 Gems (Complete Mastery in swordsmanship + Equipment)
Archer (Level depends on host)- 15 Gems (Complete Mastery over archery+ Equipment + Eagle Eyes]
(Note he will have to practice if he wants to become more than just a Master at these arts.)
Well, he almost stumbled after seeing the cards available to him and their cost but thinking about it it was suitable for his growth and the mastery was cream on the top.]
He immediately bought the two cards he bought Archer as he wanted to have those Eagle Eyes as he thought they would give him a better perspective. Although it hurts seeing his gems spent he knows it was worth it.
The effect was immediate he could feel all the knowledge his body felt like he had practiced it several times thankfully he didn't get any headaches.
He held the claymore and it felt different from before instead of a tool it now felt like a partner though it wasn't like the Barbarians who behave like they are married to their swords. He didn't buy a bow because he wanted to get 'used' to sword first.
After that, he went back to the same location and now there were at least a dozen of those Elixir Mites there.
He immediately decided to attack them with an element of surprise they didn't seem to have any intelligence they just worked on their instincts sensing danger they started to move wildly but before they could move further Leo reached them and they were stuck with his sword killing them instantly.
Upon seeing the attacker they started attacking immediately but Leo was faster and stronger than them and it was easy to defeat them, thankfully they didn't stick to his body like slimes but turned into pink shards.
But Leo remained vigilant ignoring the shards and the notifications he received after confirming there was no one in the surroundings he checked the notifications.
[Congratulations on your first kill.
Reward - 100 Xp, 10 Gems, +1 Level to your *1[Appraisal] skill.]
[You have killed a group of Elixir Mites.
You have gained Xp.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
...
[Level up!]
[Congratulations you are now Level 15]
[There are new items available for you in-store.]
[You have met the condition to make Elixir Mite Summoning Puppet .]
While Leo was eager to see what items were now available for him in the shop the last notification caught his attention.
He immediately put all these shards in his *2[Inventory] and checked what this was though he had an idea.
[Elixir Mites Summoning Puppet (Evolution available)
It allows you to summon Elixir Mites as long as you have elixir or magic.
The Elixir Mites are always under your control and will follow your orders.
They will act automatically if the host is in danger.
The host will gain all the benefits of what the Elixir Mites do.
The level of Elixir Mites depends upon the host's level.]
Looking at the Evolution option Leo checked it.
[Clash Mites Summoning Puppet (Evolution Conditions not met. To check reach level 25)
It works the same way as Elixir Mites Summoning
Clash Mites
Level-15 (Host's level)
Strength - Normal
Speed - Peak Human<Superhuman < p>
Durability- Normal
Causes twice damage to the buildings/ beings targeted by the host.
Protects host.
Heals hosts by absorbing enemies' strength and transferring it to the host.
Evolution Cost- Free]
(Give suggestions)
"Well, it is a very good thing I will say." Leo whistled this way he got a free little army for although they cost an elixir, he could use his magic too which has recently increased by leaps and bounds due to level-ups.
When he was about to test it he suddenly received another notification.
[Elixir Collector Construction Complete
Rewards - 1 Resource Booster, 100 Xp]
"Well, let's see what surprises Gold Fields have for us." Said Leo although he was reluctant to leave his newly formed Xp farm it didn't last long as he thought about potential opportunities in Gokd Fields.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
1-Appraisal - Allows to check the status of any being or object as long as they are not above the Host's pay grade.
2- Inventory - The classic inventory where time is frozen and has infinite space for some items with active or passive abilities can be used from inventory but it should not be a weapon.
(New week so power stones??????)
