A Plan for an Arm

Everything in the lab has been explained.

In the remaining four days.

The elders treated Han Dong with the highest level of care.

First, a clean living room suitable for humans was arranged in the castle, and three carefully selected female crow people were assigned to serve Han Dong's needs.

The so-called careful selection is also based on human standards.

The three female crow-people all had perfect figures, but... their heads couldn't be changed; they were still crow heads.

In the end, Han Dong dismissed all the female crows and instead sought the help of Duoze Crow.

Every minute outside the city was precious, and Han Dong planned to use this time to learn the Crow Person Magic.

Han Dong asked the Crow Person Elder to be his personal instructor for four days to learn a primitive Dark Magic originating from the Crowman Tribe.

As for the introductory magic books given by Lady Hera, I'll read them slowly after I return to town.

When only half a day remained.

Having mastered all the basic knowledge, Han Dong always felt a 'hindrance' when releasing Crow Magic. When striving to achieve the best, a feeling of powerlessness would spread throughout his body.

"Ghoul Arm are inherently more 'muscular and brute force,' and because Ghoul are formed in graveyards, they also carry a slight plague characteristic... making them more suitable for melee combat and Plague Studies than for casting magic."

This minor course grants me an extra 100 points to my maximum skill level, so I must find an arm with magical affinity.

Moreover, I need an arm of high enough quality to keep using it.

The last time I obtained the G-Virus was because I had a "Destiny Card" that could selectively choose low-difficulty movies, and I directly selected the relatively easy "Resident Evil".

However, this time the Destiny Card cannot be directly defined.

Moreover, the limbs I need must come from high-difficulty dungeons... even Knight-class Destiny Space.

Choosing the right arm type is a big problem!

Han Dong had considered having the Crow Person Elder cut off one of his arms and offer it to him.

An elder at the [Otherworldly Demon] level must have powerful arms... but they have limitations.

Han Dong wanted an arm that could fully control magic, but the Crow Person Elder's main Attribute Bias towards witchcraft and ancient Crow Magic... which was not what Han Dong wanted.

Moreover, their time outside the city was coming to an end, and they didn't have time to search for other [Otherworldly Demons] who were proficient in Dark Magic.

Furthermore, [Otherworldly Demons] are rare and scattered, and Dark Magic Otherworldly Demons are not something you can find just by looking for them.

As for "The Clown's Arm," it is also biased towards physical attacks, and its "Demon Guard value" described in the analysis data is only E level.

"There is only one way to obtain an ideal arm that can wield magic in a short period of time—buy it!"

The industrial chain in the manor has not yet been formed, let alone a complete trading chain... It will take some time before you can make money through the manor.

I couldn't buy much with the cash I had, so I had to use my connections.

Whoever lends me money is my best brother!

Four days have passed.

The carriage that departed from the manor arrived at the pre-arranged cliff location.

We have already arrived at the Black Stone House ahead of schedule.

When Demps emerged from inside, his handsome face now bore a hint of weariness that was hard to conceal, compared to four days earlier.

They had just boarded the carriage.

Han Dong reached out his hand directly.

"Demps, could you lend me some money?"

When it comes to money...

Han Dong immediately thought of Demps had once treated Han Dong and others to stay in a high-end hotel.

Given that Demps is a cunning and willing-to-do young man, he must have made a lot of money in private through his unique Finger Technique in the Holy City, and may even have a unique 'massage industry chain' in secret.

"Is ten thousand Copper Coin enough?"

"Um!??"

Han Dong hadn't even given a specific number yet, but Demps immediately quoted a five-figure figure...

"I can only spare 10,000 Copper Coin from my savings right now... If that's not enough, I'll have to borrow a little more. I can lend you at least 30,000 in a week."

Han Dong thought about how Demps could earn tens of thousands of Copper Coin just by sitting at the school and moving his fingers.

Thinking about the Underground Laboratory of the manor, which requires a long time to maintain and a lot of manpower and resources to rebuild, and which still hasn't been developed into an industrial chain, I can't help but feel a little sad.

The differences between people can sometimes be this great.

"Ten thousand is enough..."

Ten thousand Copper Coin is First Year sum in the Holy City.

It's more than enough to buy a high-quality piece of equipment, but finished equipment of "unique" quality or higher is often priceless and unavailable, though the materials are still available.

"Okay! I'll transfer the money directly to your 'treasury' after I get back to town!"

Demps didn't ask Han Dong what he wanted to do and readily lent him the money.

"Thank you, I will return it as soon as possible."

"It's nothing, I'm not short of money, you can take it and use it... By the way, I haven't slept much these past few days, I'll get some sleep first."

As soon as Demps got into the carriage, his eyelids began to flutter, and he fell asleep immediately after saying that.

"Um."

The money is in place.

The remaining question is how to achieve an 'equivalent exchange'.

Because of the existence of the "Faceless Head", Han Dong is able to bring "living things" directly back to reality from the Destiny Space.

Other knights who enter the Destiny Space need to spend points to bring the 'living creatures' back to reality, or they need to completely enslave them so that the system determines that the 'living creatures' are now completely the property of the Destiny Participant, in which case they can be brought back normally.

Aside from professions like necromancer and stitcher.

For most knights, the living creatures in the Destiny World hold little value...

A single arm or a single leg is practically no different from trash.

Han Dong first went to the trading market, where he found only two arms from the Destiny Space among the dazzling array of goods.

One of them had completely lost its activity due to being soaked in formalin solution for too long.

The other one is just the monster's arm in "Alien," which has no other characteristics besides hardness and corrosion resistance.

"I guess I'll have to... reserve it in advance."

The Holy Knight Order.

A messenger walked through a sacred corridor adorned with murals of saints and arrived at a spacious inner courtyard.

A blonde female knight wearing bright silver armor is practicing her striking skills here.

"Sir Sylest, you have a visitor."

"Can't you see I'm very busy? I don't see anyone who isn't at least a sergeant."

"He only told you to look at the Clockwork Device, as if he was sending you a message."

"Um?"

Vino Sylest, who had temporarily stopped practicing, picked up the Clockwork Device placed to the side and transmitted a voice message through the embedded magic circle.

"Are you free? I need to talk to you about something."

Sylest immediately stopped her training session for the day, fixed her hair, and headed straight for the gate.
