Inside The Castle Once More

He felt the surrounding rays of light slightly sway, and by the time he opened his eyes, he was already in that weird space.

——Lord of Anonymous, welcome to the Castle of Black Iron!

Once again, a familiar systematic dialog box appeared in front of Klaust and disappeared in several seconds.

He remembered his purpose of entering here then hurriedly checked if he is able to confirmed his thought. Seeing the bag on his hand he was finally able to confirmed that he was able to brought something here.

Opening the bag he looked inside , a beatiful siver dagger, potatoes and corn cobs, two halves of a common pyrite and some miscellaneous thing he brought in.

Klaust breath deeply trying to calm his excited mind. Suppose he had not discovered the other functionalities of the Castle of Black Iron, this function alone would have already made Klaust thrilled for a long time. This function meant that Klaust could hide things in this secret warehouse and would definitely be useful in the future and also there is a possibility that he can brought a person here.

Now that the first function of the Castle of Black Iron has been confirmed, it was the right time to look for its other functions. Thinking of this, Klaust pulled out the two pieces of common pyrite and the other miscellaneous thing from inside his bag. After this, Klaust squatted and picked up the potatoes and corncob. Holding onto the dried corncob, he began to peel off the kernels. There were more than two hundred niblets on the corncob, which occupied almost half the space of the pockets on his trousers. After the niblets were removed, he threw away the bald corncob. Klaust then held onto the silver dagger, stood up, and began to look around.

The space was exactly the same as it was yesterday — the colorful fog swirled above the space, and the weird small tree and the black mire at the center of the space remained unchanged.

After circling the extremely spacious land, Klaust finally selected a place and brutally inserted the sharp end of the dagger into the mud.

Puh, 20cm of the dagger was fully submerged into the mud.

"Oh, it's a little bit deep. I remember that teacher said 10cm was enough," Klaust scratched his head bashfully and pulled the dagger out of the mud. Given the quality of the mud, the moisture of the soil under this land was ideal, so Klaust became more confident.

Puh, he inserted that end of the dagger into the soil once more. Its depth this time was almost half of the previous attempt.

'It's ready' Klaust thought to himself. He then pulled out the dagger, and a shallow hole appeared in the mud. He pulled out a dried niblet and placed it inside the hole before covering the hole with soil. In this manner, he sowed his first niblet; this was the simplest method to plant corn. Klaust was filled with excitement. After he did it for the first time, the following attempts would be easier. Klaust imitated what he had done the first time: dagger in, make a hole, niblet in, and cover it with soil with 50 cm distance between the two holes.

Puh, a niblet in, bury it…

Puh, a niblet in, bury it…

Puh, a niblet in, bury it…

Puh, a niblet in, bury it…

Only after more than 10 minutes did Klaust finally finish sowing all the niblets. He sistemetically sowed them in seven or eight rows. After that, Klaust ran back to the pile of thing he had left. He pulled out the dagger and sliced the two sprouted potatoes into five or six pieces. He returned to where he had sown the niblets and dug several pits in a row beside them with the dagger before he buried the potato pieces one by one. After all this work, Klaust patted his dirty hands with satisfaction. He then circled the area with the niblets and the potatoes while making several mound to serve as a marker.

Whether or not they would grow up, he could only wait for the result.

Klaust felt pretty happy when he had finished the second task in the Castle of Black Iron. Sorting through the articles, Klaust walked towards the mire with black bubbles. He had already thought it through and came to the conclusion that everything in this space would be useful, including the black mire.

This time, Klaust moved closer to the mire until he was at the edge. Naturally, Klaust was no fool. He didn't directly touch it, as this place gave him the feeling that it was extremely dangerous and that people should stay far away from it. Klaust knew that if he touched it with his hands, the result would be extremely miserable.

After circling the edge of the mire twice, Klaust could still not figure out what it was used for. Finally, his eyes turned bright as an idea came to mind. He needed to verify his idea, thus he went back to the two halves of common pyrite, took them into his hands, and ran back to the mire. About ten meters away from the mire, he waved his hands and threw one of the halves of the common pyrite into the black mire. The moment the common pyrite was cast into the black mire, Klaust hurriedly opened the management panel of the Castle of Black Iron and clicked the Basic Attributes of Castle of Black Iron on the menu:

——Castle of Black Iron

——Length: 1 Krosa

——Width: 1 Krosa

——Aura Value: 0

——Merit Value: 3

——Basic Energy Storage: 0

——Special Output: Void

'The Merit Value has increased to 3. That's strange, where did it come from?' Klaust was slightly confused. However, all of a sudden, the value of "Basic Energy Storage" changed from 0 to 0.1. At the same time, the font of the option also became brilliant and alive, changing from a gray font to a raised blue font.

——Basic Energy Storage: 0.1 (blue)

The raised item reminded Klaust of the "Enter" button in the system, thus Klaust attempted to press the item "Basic Energy Storage". As a result, a semi-transparent log window appeared in front of Klaust. There were two tips on the dialog box. The first tip was at the top center of the dialog box and read:

——Everything in the universe is a manifestation of energy. Matter is a form of condensed low-frequency energy, and space is a form of sublime high-frequency energy. Therefore, all matter and space can be reverted to its original energy.

——At 20:38, May 13th, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, a common pyrite was converted by the Pool of Chaos. As a result, the Castle of Black Iron has gained 0.1 unit of basic energy storage!

'The strange black pool is called the Pool of Chaos. It's somewhat useful; I can throw objects inside and convert them into the most basic energy. So it was some kind of garbage disposal? No... rather than a garbage disposal it was more like an engine and the fuel can be anything!' Klaust's excitement rose when he solved the problem and knew the function of the strange black mire.

'Energy? Matter? Space? Ughhh i can't understand it but put in simple i could toss anything and it will be converted to something useful for this place' Klaust just shrugged his shoulder without thinking about it any further.

Closing the dialog window, Klaust touched the "Merit Value" option. He clearly remembered the value of "Merit Value" was 0 last time. How could it have become 1 today? Additionally, the font color and state of the two words, "Merit Value", were evidently the same as that of the "Basic Energy Storage". He opened it without any hesitation.

Similar to the previous dialog window, there were two tips in the dialog that popped out.

——

Do good deeds and eliminate evil — the largest mercy in the Human World;.

Worship the gods and love the people — the nearest stairway to heaven;

Lucky people, please show the mercy of the creator to the secular world, so that the Gods can understand you;

Please receive the most sincere pleasures and appreciation presented to you by the hundreds of millions of living beings;

Please end the evil souls and the endless darkness to become the light, and when you are the light, you are definitely walking on the light and a magnificent road will be prepared for you.

The first tip on the log brought Klaust a huge surprised. Reading it, Klaust's face inadvertently frowned. When he read the second tip and on, he finally gives up and can only accepted it.

'Sigh.... It seems i need to change my plan, i need to adjust it so i can at least help some people even if i couldn't brought them with me' He continued to see the detail of merit point.

——On the morning of May 13, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, Lord of Anonymous brought your sister to Miss Daina's House. Your sister feel happy having you around her. Therefore, you gained 1 Merit Value.

——On the evening of May 13, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, Lord of Anonymous picked up your sister from Miss Daina's house. You took initiative and tell her about the news, Miss Daina feel appreciative. Therefore, you gained 1 Merit Value.

——On the evening of May 13, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, Lord of Anonymous brought your sister to Lila's House. You took initiative and tell them about the news and helped with the house chore , Lila and her mom feel appreciative. Therefore, you gained 1 Merit Value.

'So it was really like that, and That Little Girl..... I should spend more time with her' Klaust smiled kindly with a hint of guilt upon thinking of his only family left.

Although the problem of "Aura Value" has not been solved yet, he had already gained a lot. In a complex mood, Klaust left the Castle of Black Iron. All of a sudden, he returned and stood for a period of time before checking the time and see that he have around 30 minutes left before dawn. He decided to meditate with Deep Sleep method for a while before going to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast and doing some house chore.

Right at dawn, when Lila's mom opened the door, she found that the house was clean, including the floors, walls, table, and chairs, as if they were new. Everywhere was well cleaned, even the places and corners piled with sundries. There were even food prepared on the table.

"What happened? Did Lila do this ?" Lila's mom felt it was strange.

Opening her mouth, Lila's mom doubted that there was something wrong with her eyes. Right then, lifting a barrel of water Klaust walked inside the house. At this moment, she understood.

"Klaust, did you do this?" the dad stared at Klaust with a weird look.

"Yeah" Klaust smiled, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"You don't really need to do this Klaust!" Lila's mom said worriedly seeing that he is sweating quite a lot.

Hearing this, Klaust became moved and feel a bit embarassed.

"It's ok Aunty, beside i was used to it and i also need to do some exercise to keep my body fit"

Hearing his answer Lila's mom only smiled kindly while thanking him before she turned and prepare to open the store while Klaust also helped her on it. Klaust then went to the bathroom to washed himself.

Inside the bat, Klaust entered the Castle of Black Iron once again and threw the remaining half of the common pyrite into the Pool of Chaos so as to eliminate the last evidence of the Castle of Black Iron in this world. He opened the Basic Attributes Panel of the Castle of Black Iron:

——Castle of Black Iron

——Length: 1 Krosa

——Width: 1 Krosa

——Aura Value: 0

——Merit Value: 4

——Basic Energy Storage: 0.2

——Special Output: Void

As expected, "0.1" was added to the Basic Energy Storage. Opening the dialog box of the Merit Value, Klaust saw a new log:

On the Morning of May 14, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, Lord of Anonymous took the initiative to cleaned the house and made breakfast for everyone and helped her open the store, Lila's mom felt happy. As a reward, you have gained 1 more Merit Value.

With a smile, Klaust finihed his bath and went out the house to look for the Address he got from Uncle Donder.
