Chapter 2341: Chapter 1046: Unexpected Gains (3)

Gaven did not teleport it but threw it into another room for separate interrogation.

This is a common interrogation tactic to prevent collusion between parties.

The two pieces of information verify each other, making it easier to distinguish truth from falsehood.

After the Giant Bone King’s intentional omission of intelligence, Gaven became more cautious of these Undead Demons, and secular tactics should still be used when necessary.

The Undying Slaughter Divine Power grants absolute control over them, only preventing them from lying but not from hiding the truth.

"This type of golem is called Shadow Steel Golem. It’s forged using a special raw material called Shadow Liquid, which tempers and refines the steel. This not only gives the steel a fire resistance far superior to ordinary steel, but also grants them magic immunity, shadow manipulation, and negative energy manipulation abilities."

This Skeleton Lord knows the Shadow Steel Golem thoroughly, not only understanding its capabilities but also knowing the materials and methods for making it.

A stance of speaking without holding back, this is his key to advancement, he must firmly grasp it.

If he doesn’t speak, the other Skeleton Lord would say it, so it’s better to say it himself.

"Do you know where this Shadow Liquid comes from, and how to temper the steel?" Gaven easily pinpointed the critical issue.

"That part I’m not clear on; it’s an absolute secret within the Corpses Domain, known only to the Corpse King."

The three heads of the Skeleton Lord nodded simultaneously, "But one thing is certain, it definitely isn’t conducted within the Corpses Domain. When we see them, they are already finished products."

The other Skeleton Lord’s answer was almost identical.

Gaven was not too surprised and continued to ask: "In the Corpses Domain, are there any special places, like soul pools, that directly connect to the Shadow Plane or Negative Plane..."

"No." Both Skeleton Lords answered without thinking.

One of the Skeleton Lords added before the words ended, "The Corpse King himself has extraordinary abilities to manipulate shadows, does that count?"

"It counts." Gaven nodded approvingly at this intelligence.

Since the issue isn’t with the territory, it must be with the person.

Gaven then turned to the Burning Flames Queen and said, "If my guess is correct, the Corpse King has likely placed his Witch Demon Life Box in the Shadow Plane or Negative Plane, where he holds considerable influence, only there can such perfectly integrated steel with shadow energy be forged."

"Not just the Shadow Plane, even if he has fled to the Shadow Underworld, I will find him and reduce him to ashes," the Burning Flames Queen said through gritted teeth.

For her, completely killing the Corpse King has already transcended beyond personal vendetta.

It is closely related to her position as a Revenge Cleric.

The Shadow Underworld is a part of the Shadow Plane, the most perilous part, where countless souls from the Material Plane go, awaiting judgment.

Either taken away by the Divine Envoys of the True Gods they worship, nailed to the wall of non-believers, or thrown to Hell or the Abyss, sometimes directly stolen by Demons or Devils.

"As long as you assist me in finding a way to return to the Material Plane, I will create an opportunity for you to go to the Shadow Plane or Negative Plane," Gaven took the chance to propose an exchange.

This was the first time he revealed his main task in front of his new subordinates.

"Alright, it’s a deal," the Burning Flames Queen readily agreed.

"These three Shadow Steel Golems will belong to me."

"That’s only natural, everything here belongs to the master."

"This is your reward, from now on, you will stay in the Lich Tower, awaiting my orders."

"Thank you for the blessing, my God, I will certainly serve my God with all my might."

Though he didn’t directly obtain the methods for making Shadow Steel and Shadow Steel Golems from the two Skeleton Lords, Gaven still rewarded them generously, not only enhancing them at the primordial level but also promoting them to his close aides.

What he valued was not their abilities but the intelligence concerning the Corpse King they held, he wanted to see if more useful information could be extracted.

Failing to directly get the forging method only made things complicated, it doesn’t mean there are no options available.

There is a project called reverse engineering in this world, and the legendary Arcanist Philancy is the top expert.

He believes that giving it to her will yield some results.

After all, he has ventured into the Shadow Plane and Negative Plane, having sufficient convenient conditions.

With the unexpected gain of the Shadow Steel Golem, it made Gaven hold back his impatience and comb through the entire Lich Tower, inside and out, leaving no crevice unchecked.

He indeed found quite a few scraps and odds, among them the most numerous are Skeleton Staffs and Skeleton Wands.

But lacking something like the Shadow Steel Golem that is eye-catching and can significantly drive the development of Gaven Territory.

However, it’s worth knowing that many things are hard to come by.

Especially when you put all your effort into it, the less you gain.

Gaven did not dwell on this issue but returned to the main topic, "Return to your respective soul lands, I will use divine nature force to promote the division of your territories and grant you methods to transform the land system, elevating your command over your territories."

He prepared to delegate power further.

Not just military power, but also territory transformation and road construction rights.

How can one person be faster than four people working together?

"Understood." After thorough training, the three Advanced Undead Lords were extremely cooperative.

When initiating a new round of construction for the Undead Slaughter Territory, Gaven found the Corpses Domain was indeed most suitable for him.

The Corpse King’s territorial transformation is far beyond what the other three Advanced Undead Lords can achieve; he is clearly planning a grand strategy—trying to turn the entire Corpses Domain into a huge Magic Array.

The Lich Tower is the center of the Magic Array, the Soul Channel is its circuitry, and the Soul Pool is the node of the Magic Array.

This perfectly aligns with Gaven’s plans.
