Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 606 - 535 The 3rd Gathering

In the meeting room of the Guild Hall at this moment.

Heideline was observing everyone except Kane with a curious gaze.

These are His Majesty's teammates, the other subversives.

Although Heideline had met them several times in the dungeon, she hadn't engaged in close conversation yet.

As for the two newcomers brought by Kreya, they sat still and stared straight, clearly feeling a bit nervous.

Since everyone was not very familiar with each other, Kane took the lead in organizing some matters.

Kane first said to Heideline, "We've already seized the Black Monarch's territory and eliminated the Black Monarch."

Though surprised at Kane and his team's rapid action, Heideline refrained from asking too much in such a setting, merely nodded to indicate her understanding.

Kane then continued, "These two are the generals under Kreya, now responsible for the affairs within the Black Monarch's territory."

"The core part of the Black Monarch's territory has been contaminated by the power of death, no longer suitable for habitation. However, the outskirts and other areas remain unaffected, where some civilians and other intelligent races still live. You two need to collaborate and connect as soon as possible to ensure the swift restoration of civilian life."

At this moment, Kreya addressed the two generals of the Soul Guard Army, "Without my command, you'll follow Heideline's orders. Her command represents mine."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" they nodded in response.

Kane then continued speaking to Heideline, "The mountain range bordering the Black Monarch's realm houses the Stone Giant tribe, which you can approach. The grassland adjacent to the Red Monarch's realm is inhabited by the Fire tribe, also approachable."

These two races are where Longbei and Meizike reside, both holding substantial positions within their tribes.

It's time to connect the influential forces of their respective locations.

If it hadn't been decided to control the dungeon, Kane's team would have gathered for a strategic campaign long ago. However, once the decision was made, they began to exert influence within other races in their respective realms.

The goal is straightforward: to win hearts and reduce losses of their vital forces.

Seizing control of the dungeon isn't a simple matter.

After all, in the vast continent where the dungeon is located, there are few living beings left.

Further depletion would leave Kane's team with nothing but an empty space to inherit.

They are now treating the dungeon as their domain post-acquisition, starting planning and management.

Following the discussion with Heideline, she left with the two generals of the Soul Guard Army, heading to another smaller meeting room for more detailed discussions.

Now, only Kane's team remained in the meeting room.

Following the established process, Longbei began his report.

"I'm doing pretty well among the Stone Giant tribe; they seem to consider me one of their own now. However, their numbers are scarce, below 1000, an excellent stone-working race, adept in the art of mining."

Longbei then took some mineral samples from his Space Equipment and placed them on the desk.

"These are some mineral samples I excavated from the mountain veins, all top-tier varieties."

Among these minerals are ones that conduct magic power well, and others have high magic resistance.

Though not as impressive as Kreya's Anti-Demon Armor, they are still quite extraordinary.

Such minerals indicate that the dungeon is even more worthy of acquisition.

"Moreover, the Stone Giants received intelligence upon my arrival; mysteriously, the Black Monarch's army vanished entirely, and the White Monarch is gathering forces, uncertain of their intent."

After listening to Longbei's report, Kane nodded, indeed the White Monarch is preparing to attack as he anticipated.

Next was Lilu's report, "Lilu has found an exit; once we get out this time, I'll be ready, soon you will receive Lilu's assistance."

After so many days, Lilu finally found an exit, it was truly remarkable.

Lastly, it was Meizike's turn to report.

"I've learned that not only are the Fire tribe fighting against the Grey Monarch's army, but many other alien races are also involved. They formed a United Army, encircling the entire Grey Monarch's territory."

Meizike shared the information he gathered.

Kane's current information indicates the Grey Monarch's authority pertains to the soul, held by the King of Platinum's daughter, the Red Monarch's sister.

Furthermore, the Grey Monarch's territory is the only one not bordering any other King's domain.

The Grey Monarch's information is minimal, only known to be constantly at war with surrounding alien races.

According to Kane's intelligence, the Grey Monarch's army might be the weakest among all the King's armies.

Only the Grey Monarch is still battling alien races; both the Red Monarch and Black Monarch have long exterminated any rebellious or aggressive alien race in their vicinity.

Additionally, there's no known record of subversive attacks against the Grey Monarch, not even against their subordinates.

Whether it's due to lack of intelligence or other reasons is unknown.

Meizike continued, "If the envoys from your territory come over, I am confident in persuading the Fire tribe to join you. Once the Fire tribe joins, other alien races are unlikely to refuse."

It seems Meizike holds a higher status among the Fire tribe than he mentioned.

Kane then proceeded with some summaries and arrangements.

"We've taken down both the Black Monarch and Red Monarch; next, we might face the White Monarch. According to Longbei's information, it might take just a few days before the White Monarch attacks."

"The target doesn't require speculation; it's the Black Monarch's territory. If time allows, Longbei, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up," Kane said, addressing Longbei.

Now that Kane's team has conquered the Black Monarch's territory, which borders the mountain range where Longbei resides.

If the Steel Wings' troops are dispatched to fetch Longbei, it will be timely, allowing Heideline's envoys to rush over simultaneously.

Longbei nodded in agreement to Kane's suggestion.

"Finally, I can stretch my muscles. I nearly rusted away in those mountains."

After their conversation and discussing some specifics, everyone dispersed from the meeting this time.

When Kane arrived at the Guild Hall, he saw Steel Armor talking loudly with Burton.

The drink in Steel Armor's hand wasn't the usual alcohol that living beings consume, but the oil Funa had brought.

Since Funa is a professional mechanician, she carries various types of energy and equipment related to machinery, including lubricating oil.

After learning about Steel Armor's identity and his knowledge, Funa often conversed with him, and also gifted him some lubricating oil and energy liquid.

Steel Armor treated these items as regular beverages, saying they tasted quite good.

Seeing Steel Armor, Kane thought of the Forging Workshop, which he had yet to unlock.

At this moment, Kane possessed 10 Magic Stones.

The guards around the White Bone Palace and the Black Monarch himself had provided Kane with two Silver Magic Stones.

Now that the Magic Stones had a surplus, Kane could dedicate half of them to unlocking the Forging Workshop. He also wanted to see its functions.

Thinking of this, Kane directly opened the [Book of Adventure] and flipped to the expanded page of the guild section.

He reached into his Space Equipment and took out 5 Silver Magic Stones in his hand, then clicked on the new feature in the extended section to unlock the Forging Workshop.

As the Forging Workshop feature was unlocked, another large door appeared on the wall of the Guild Hall, near the Defender Army's area.

The newly appeared door attracted curious gazes, representing another new feature of the guild, which naturally aroused curiosity.

The door was entirely made of iron, with an image of an iron hammer striking an iron ingot.

This strikingly represented the purpose of the space behind the door.

This new Forging Workshop space also had its own page in the guild section.

Open the Forging Workshop.

The column appeared was very similar to the instructor column.

However, there was only one space for a portrait in the middle, where Kane checked the specific explanation of the Forging Workshop.

The Forging Workshop can directly repair some equipment that isn't completely damaged, including Magic Equipment.

It can also automatically convert some raw materials into semi-finished products.

For example, operations like smelting iron ore into iron ingots or gold ore into gold ingots.

There are also many forging tools inside, all unlocked for free, which can be arranged according to the craftsman's preferences.

Other functions appear differently depending on the craftsman inside.

Clicking on the blank portrait in the middle revealed the people in the guild who could become blacksmiths.

However, the only one who could become a blacksmith was Steel Armor.

Additionally, there was a golden border, indicating that Steel Armor was of a very high level among blacksmiths.

Beside it, it stated what differences there would be if Steel Armor was designated as the blacksmith of the Forging Workshop.

The first thing was that the blacksmith could forge weapons and armor matching his level.

This meant Steel Armor could forge Silver-level weapons and equipment. Once Steel Armor upgraded to Golden, he could forge Golden-level weapons and equipment.

Steel Armor's strength had reached 99% of Silver, just a step away from Golden, but held back by the world's suppression.

Secondly, Steel Armor could alter the appearance and size of Golden-level equipment and those below.

Finally, the Forging Workshop's enhancement for Steel Armor, directly granting him Magic Talent and enhancing his forging success rate, forging speed, physical recovery rate, and learning ability.

As Steel Armor becomes more familiar with Mist's equipment, he would possess even more features.

This part seemed unexpectedly reasonable.

No need for much explanation, Kane directly dragged Steel Armor into the blacksmith column of the Forging Workshop.

When Steel Armor entered the blacksmith column, he momentarily dazed while conversing with Burton.

In his mind, the guild had provided him information, including the usage and various features of the Forging Workshop.

He could even feel his body undergoing changes, as if being transformed by some power.

With the Guild Hall saturated with Magic Power, this power began to enter Steel Armor's body, attracting the attention of the people around.

After all, they knew Steel Armor apparently didn't have Magic Talent.

As Magic Power poured in, Magic Patterns even appeared on Steel Armor's body.

Kane didn't need to step forward to explain.

After Steel Armor received the information in his mind, he turned to Kane and nodded to him.

Then, with large strides, he walked towards the newly appeared iron door.

The others were curious about the purpose of the door, and seeing Steel Armor's actions immediately drew their curious gazes.

Could it be?

Indeed, Steel Armor directly pushed open the door to the blacksmith shop.

Kane also went over.
