Chapter 354: Renamed as Scout Guard
Linde reached out and hugged Melulan, and carried her, despite her crippled body, to a bed that had been prepared long ago.

"Have you ever thought about gaining some power?"

"I have always longed for power!" She gritted her teeth. The hatred in her heart made her eager to return to the Black Swamp Kingdom and tear the king's face apart.

After death, the body was sold and transformed like a commodity, and shame and resentment occupied her mind.

"It just so happens that I have a power here that I highly recommend to you. It comes from the Black Swamp Kingdom."

He was not worried at all that Melulan would turn against him after gaining powerful strength. Melulan was just an ordinary woman. Even if the royal blood allowed her to become a strong person like the Scarlet Monarch, she could never be stronger than Redwald. And Redwald, who happened to be dead, was no match for him at all.

And Lind is still getting stronger and never stops for a moment.

Melulan transformed into a vampire very quickly. This was a transformation ritual filled with some cult atmosphere. Lind had witnessed an undead transforming into a blood wart demon.

Her cheeks were dry and pale, her eyes were occupied by swaying scarlet flames, and scarlet lines climbed from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks.

Sharp teeth escaped from between the red lips, shining coldly.

She was muttering to herself, and a bloody and uneasy atmosphere was blowing wildly in the underground ranch. Linde could feel the faint uneasiness. The opponent's strength was probably equivalent to "superior" now.

A scar suddenly appeared on Melulan's neck, as if a sharp, thin, invisible nail had scratched her chest.

Blood-red roses emerged radiating out, and then flapped like butterfly wings, trying with all their might to escape from her chest.

Blood succeeded.

A huge spider web woven entirely of blood enveloped Lind's head. He could feel that Melulan did not disappear or become weaker, but became stronger and stronger.

Breakthrough to the hero level.

As the blood-red spider web was woven into a cocoon again, Lind could hear the strong heartbeat in his ears.

A white arm broke through the blood cocoon and stretched out.

The woman's laughter echoed in the space. In the blood lamb ranch in the distance, the blood lambs seemed to have heard some terrifying sound and fell to the ground trembling.

There seemed to be a flame burning above his head, and Lind vaguely saw a battlefield.

A giant who could tear apart mountains with a wave of his hand strode towards him. Something was spinning in the flames until he saw clearly that it was an eyeball as big as the moon.

Flowers had blossomed at his feet, blooming and withering. Lind lowered his head and found that his fingers had also turned into debris and were slowly breaking.

This was an unprecedented scene of fear. A feeling of powerlessness completely enveloped Lind, and fear madly eroded his heart.

"Illusion?" Lind tried to break free.

He tried to calm himself down, but fear was like a physical instinct. He watched the giant stop in front of him, his head pointing straight to the sky, his head completely beyond the clouds, and the giant lowered his head and looked down at him.

Then the terrifying giant planet's eye that was staring at him burned everything in front of it, and endless scarlet overflowed from the pupil, flooding everything within Lind's sight.

The silent death brought by flowers is accelerating.

Lind welcomed his own "death" and his body continued to tremble. He felt that he was very familiar with this power, just like when his noble power was awakened.

The difference is that this time the power is very concrete.

The body's instinct was faster, and the power of emblems surged out from various sources, easily taking the lead.

He tried his best to guess what the three powers represented, but in the end it all turned into a chuckle, which was not important at all.

"Is it over?" Linde looked at the blood cocoon. Mellan's arm twitched slightly, as if she didn't expect Linde to wake up, or she just moved accidentally while having a nightmare.

The blood cocoon bloomed like a flower, and the naked Melulan sat inside it, leaning sideways.

"The power of blood," she looked at Linde with fear in her eyes. Just now, when she couldn't bear the power in her blood, she chose to use her mind power to force it all into Linde's head and let him bear it. The scenes that were so terrifying that she lost her voice were actually resisted by Linde, and he looked very relaxed.

She was horrified and apologized for her behavior.

He didn't feel relieved until Lind left the underground and returned to Star Dragon City.

I almost capsized in the ditch!
In the following days, in Star Dragon City, the know-it-all "book thief" Domei and the troll lady Isa conducted many academic researches.

Duomei was delighted by the profound knowledge of the top students.

However, Lind was more concerned about the development of the territory. There were not many undead left in Star Dragon City. As Lind's power center shifted to Goliath, Star Dragon City had cooled down. Occasionally, only one or two new undead could be seen wandering around the streets.

His magic mission system has been updated many times, and now it can cover all territories as long as the signal transmission problem can be solved.

Moreover, the magic alchemical props for transmitting signals have been produced. Although their durability is not very high, their cost is also very low.

"There are two types now. One is something you can use at any time. I call it a signal stone," Duo Mei confidently showed off his research results. "It can transmit signals for 10 miles and can absorb free energy in the air to recharge itself."

The technology obtained from the Mechanicus was like a cornerstone. Lind was not sure whether Dome had gone astray, but the effect was still very encouraging.

“The cost of construction has been reduced to a minimum, but the price is still high.”

"That's not a problem." Linde naturally had a way to solve the problem.

"What about the other one?"

"A larger, magnified signal stone,"

Duomei excitedly led Linde forward, until they crossed the castle wall and looked at the pyramid building, he finally understood what Duomei meant by magnification.

"It has too many disadvantages," Duo Mei said helplessly. "First, as you can see, it is too conspicuous and will definitely attract countless attacks. Secondly, it is very expensive, sir! Very expensive!"

"Is there any possibility of optimization?" Lind asked.

"This is made based on your gold medal. There is no optimization involved. Its function is just to transmit signals. However, you can add something else to it based on this."

"Something else?"

"Like magic patterns, barriers, etc., and then letting people control them, maybe it can increase the possibility of its survival when attacked." Duomei's voice became smaller and smaller.

It took him more than a year and a huge amount of money to finally make something like this. He could even imagine how angry the lord would be.

But I didn't expect it.

"That's a great idea, Domei."

Linde clapped his hands and laughed.

Even the troll lady Isa who followed along showed a puzzled expression, if someone could tell the puzzled expression from her face.

"Well, the signal stone can be mass-produced, but it needs to have more functions, communicate with the gold seal, and then organize wizards to learn how to build it."

Linde pointed at the pyramid, paused for a moment, and said, "By the way, give it a name. Why not call it the Crystal Defense Tower?"

"Crystal Defense Tower?" Duomei was puzzled. He couldn't understand what it had to do with the crystal and the defense tower.

"Yes, the name of the signal stone has also been changed," Lind nodded. He had already thought of a way to make the undead willing to grind for materials themselves and then willingly help him broaden his horizons.

"Just change the name to Scout Guard."
