The next target
The branch leader was shocked as he looked through various scrolls and books. He skimmed through them and felt like a brand new world opened for him.
This is a treasure trove. All of a sudden, he felt like losing the furnace body is worth it. After all, no matter how valuable or rare it was, it was just a furnace after all and its only function is to heat and melt the metals. It makes their job easier.
But these documents gave them knowledge and development that was leaps and bounds away from their current state.
These are some of the research documents Sam. He gave some of the research on mechanisms, inscriptions, and formations that are suitable for puppet making to the branch leader.
Since the other party didn't take it too far and made the situation into a life and death battle, Sam decided to give him some reward in return.
Anyway, this saved him a lot of time so he didn't mind being a bit more generous.
