Chapter 1037: Named [No.1] (Part One)
[TL Note: This is a 2-in-1 chapter, so 4 parts like always.]
After thinking for a while, the king said, "Since this is the case, you need to do something to show your sincerity. If you want everything that I mentioned, you need to sign a soul contract. If you betray your promises, you will instantly die, and the crystal race will completely disappear from this world.
"No problem, great human. If you can realize the promises that you made, our entire race will kneel before you." Violent spirit energy waves appeared from the silver crystal, and it instantly agreed to the offer.
The king zapped his mouth and thought, "It seems like this silver crystal clan wants to get stronger."
"Since this is the case, you can stay with me. When the time is right, you will get everything that you want." Fei thought for a moment and placed this silver crystal into his storage ring. If his plan succeeded, Chambord"s strength was going to increase a lot in a short time, becoming the most terrifying force on the continent. Forces like the Holy Church, big empires, and other races wouldn"t be problems anymore.
This conversation between Fei and the silver crystal only lasted about a few minutes.
Although Pope Entus of Orcs mastered the power of totems and was knowledgeable, he wasn"t that good at spirit energy. Therefore, he didn"t know about the conversation between Fei and the silver crystal.
Seeing Fei placing that silver crystal into his storage ring, Entus smiled and asked, "What? Your Majesty is interested in these unique beasts?"
Fei smiled and replied, "It is my first time seeing this. Don"t you think that it is similar to diamonds in our previous world? Such a big diamond, hehe. It is rare to see. I"m going to take a few and make a few pieces of jewelry for my wives.
"Haha! I had similar ideas in the beginning. It will be cool to use these crystals to get closer to girls. However, a soul is hiding in each of the crystals, and they sometimes absorb the energy of nature and convert it into physical matter, releasing deadly gas. They are like mini time bombs. It is troublesome; you have to be careful." Entus didn"t doubt Fei, and he laughed and reminded the king of the potential danger.
Fei nodded.
Before this mission was successful, the king didn"t want to tell anyone else about it. After all, it was critical to the future of Chambord.
Time quickly pa.s.sed by.
In a great mood, these behemoth orcs killed many unique beasts that they called meat beast. Giant piles of meat already formed around the edge of the Vicious Swamp.
Before, the orc masters who came here through the [Metal Desert] could only take away a little bit of fresh meat. This time, they all received precious storage rings from Fei as gifts, and they could move a large volume of meat back to the tribe. In one afternoon, more than 10,000 meat beasts were "killed".
The silver crystals in the meat were all tossed back into the lake, and the orcs were going to wait until they condense new bodies.
"It is about time. We should go back."
When the sun was about to set, Entus ended this crazy hunting trip.
The 25 orc masters were fully loaded. They got enough meat to feed a giant city of orcs for one winter. With these top-tier storage rings, the orc masters could make a few more trips, and this would be the first winter in the last 1,000 years where Behemoth Orc Tribe didn"t lack meat as a food source.
"Guys, you can go first. I want to stay here for a while," Fei suddenly said to the orc masters.

Chapter 1037: Named [No.1] (Part Two)
"Huh? Could it be that Your Majesty has other things to do here?" Entus was surprised, and other orc masters also looked at Fei in confusion.
"When I battled the fierce beasts in the [Metal Desert], I got inspired, and I"m about to breakthrough. Right now, I"m stuck at the threshold, and I want to stay in the [Metal Desert] and train. Battling the fierce beasts is a great training method, and it might help me breakthrough. You guys can go back first and handle the business in your tribe. You can talk it out and see if you want to move back to the Azeroth Continent. I believe that after I achieve my breakthrough, behemoth orcs will have made the decision. Then, we can plan out the next step. Chambord is willing to help in whatever way we can!" Fei explained.
"Oh, I see. That is good then. We won"t disturb Your Majesty anymore. Let"s meet again at the City of Behemoth in three days."
As if he understood something, Entus didn"t ask more questions and left with the orc masters.
Fei smiled and said farewell to everyone.
After Fei confirmed that the orc masters all left by scanning the area with his insane spirit energy, he didn"t start executing his plan right away.
Instead, he went back to the [Metal Desert], switched to his Druid character, and continued to kill fierce beasts to absorb the mystical energy and increase his Druid"s strength.
Fei wasn"t lying to the orc masters. His Druid character was at the verge of a breakthrough, and he needed a large volume of mystical energy to elevate his realm.
At noon on the second day, streaks of terrifying energy suddenly appeared in the [Metal Desert]; it felt like a G.o.d had descended.
The fierce beasts in the desert sensed the pressure and were terrified, and they whined as their limbs shivered. As if it was the end of the world, these beasts were all anxious and fearful.
Outside the [Metal Desert], Pope Entus who had just returned to the City of Behemoth seemed to have sensed something, and he looked back in the direction of the [Metal Desert] with a smile. He thought to himself, "Alexander finally took this step? Great, we are one step closer to the plan. I don"t have much time in this world. I hope I can perfectly complete my mission. Alexander, don"t disappoint me!"
-In the [Metal Desert]-
Fei slowly walked out of the tornadoes with joy on his face.
"My Druid"s Demi-G.o.d Realm is finally stabilized. The realm power of the Druid is actually this…"
The king slowly got to the edge of the Vicious Swamp.
After thinking for a moment in peace, Fei took out a set of black armor from his storage ring and placed it beside him.
"Greetings, the supreme and honorable king! Alexander Your Majesty! Your humble servant Basturk is pleased to see you. Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"
This set of black armor kneeled on all fours and greeted Fei while flattering him.
This terrified creature was Dark Demonic Armor Basturk. After being taken apart thousands of times by Cain, Akara, and their apprentices, this being was scared and didn"t dare to do anything without permission.
Also, the king planted a spirit energy seal in its mind.
Right now, Basturk was moving in the direction of Flatterer Oleg. It abandoned the honor and dignity of a demi-G.o.dly being, and it was getting even better at flattering people compared to Oleg.
"Stand aside and guard me. I have something important to do." Fei told the Dark Demonic Armor to get up.
"As you wish, my great and honorable master. Your servant is willing to complete all your requests." The Dark Demonic Armor stood up respectfully and bowed before patrolling the area and keeping guard.
Fei was pleased, and he nodded as he took out a mystical gold war puppet and that silver crystal.

Chapter 1037: Named [No.1] (Part Three)
On this trip to the [Banished Land], Fei took 500 mystical gold war puppets with him. Elena had 100 with her, and the king kept the rest of these mystical gold war puppets on him.
Right now, he took one out to test his hypothesis.
Although he wasn"t as great at magic arrays compared to Cain and Akara, he still could be counted as a grandmaster in this field.
The king was very knowledgeable about the complicated magic arrays inside the mystical gold war puppets. In a flash, this mystical gold war puppet that was comparable to a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord was taken apart, turning into hundreds of pieces.
It wasn"t an exaggeration to say that these mystical gold war puppets were the most advanced magic weapons in this world. Both Cain and Akara"s understanding of magic was one era ahead of people on the Azeroth Continent, and they invested a ton of time and energy into the mystical gold war puppets.
The back of each component was engraved with dense magic paths and patterns, looking like the most complex circuit diagram. Every magic path was necessary, and their functions couldn"t be taken away. Since they were engraved onto the components with G.o.dly runes, they couldn"t be damaged.
Right now, powerful energy flashed and surged in the magic paths, looking scary and mighty.
Fei switched to his Barbarian character and used the [Anti-Mage Realm], temporarily getting rid of the magic energy in the magic arrays. Then, he started to alter and change the magic paths on some components one by one.
This process looked simple, but it was complex in reality, like finding a streak of data in a database manually. Fei only finished this task after spending about four hours on it.
The king wiped the sweat off his forehead. Even though his spirit energy was on another level, he felt depleted after using a ton of his spirit energy.
Then, he closed his eyes and slowly recovered his spirit energy. He only started to place these components together after he was well-rested.
In about 20 minutes, every component except for the belly of this mystical gold war puppet was placed together. From the surface, it looked the same. The mystical gold war puppet that was about two meters tall had a metallic glare, and it looked vicious and powerful. Although it wasn"t initiated and activated, it brought people a shocking image and terrifying pressure.
Fei took out that silver crystal and released a streak of spirit energy wave. "What do you think? Are you pleased with this new body?"
"This… is it really for me?" The soul inside the silver crystal shook violently as it asked in disbelief, "I can tell that the toughness of this material is far beyond my imagination. If I have such a body, I don"t have to worry about others taking my body. Hahaha! No one can break it!"
"d.a.m.n, you lack ambition. You should kill anyone who still dares to bully you instead of hiding inside your sh.e.l.l like a turtle."
After Fei teased the silver crystal, he opened his other hand, and streaks of silver light appeared in his hand as spirit energy flashed. Like a tree spout that was quickly growing, it soon formed a 3D magic array symbol.
"This is a master-servant soul contract. Once we sign this contract, you will become a warrior under my command. Even if you become a supreme G.o.d, you can never betray me. Otherwise, your soul will instantly disintegrate and disappear. Therefore, you must think this through. Do you really want to sign this contract and surrender your freedom for this invincible body?" Fei said in all seriousness as he looked at the silver crystal.

Chapter 1037: Named [No.1] (Part Four)
The king didn"t want to lie and fool this crystal, so he explained everything clearly.
This silver spiritual energy magic array came from the mysterious purple scroll, and it contained an unimaginable restrictive force. Once the contract was signed by both parties, no one could break it other than Fei himself.
"Of course!" the soul inside the silver crystal responded with a series of spirit energy fluctuations, "What is freedom? Since my birth until now, thousands of years have pa.s.sed, and I enjoyed the highest degree of freedom. However, what did freedom bring me? I only know that things are relative. To get what I want, I must sacrifice something. To our clan, power and dignity are more important than freedom."
This time, it was Fei"s turn to be stunned. After a pause, he replied with a smile, "Alright. I"m surprised that you are quite a philosopher. Let"s sign this contract then."
Fei placed the silver crystal inside the patterns of the 3D spirit energy magic array, and a series of faint-silver spirit energy fluctuations appeared from the crystal and merged into the magic array. In the end, the two became one; it was impossible to tell them apart.
"Ok," Fei said with a nod, "From now on, you will be called… No.1."
After saying that, the king placed the silver crystal in the core of the pre-arranged magic array in the component for the belly of the mystical gold war puppet. As soon as the silver crystal was inlaid, streaks of gentle silver flames quickly merged into every single magic path on the inside of the armor. Then, the entire grand magic array started to operate as a whole at a slow pace until everything was completely integrated.
Fei heaved a sigh of relief and placed this component back into the mystical gold war puppet.
"[No.1], try to get used to your new body. See if you can control it."
"Yes, honorable master." A streak of cheerful spirit energy wave dashed out of the mystical gold war puppet.
Then, under Fei"s nervous stare, a series of metal-grinding noises sounded as the components rubbed against each other, and this mystical gold war puppet slowly took its first step. After this mystical gold war puppet"s first step firmly landed on the ground, it slowly walked forward.
"Great! A success!" Fei was thrilled.
Boom!
However, in the next second, the mystical gold war puppet that walked forward for about three steps smashed onto the ground, creating a big crater.
"What is going on?" Fei was extremely nervous.
"Master, I… I… I"m not used to the weight of this new body. I… probably need about ten minutes or so to get used to it." A series of shy spirit energy waves dashed out of the mystical gold war puppet.
Fei laughed self-mockingly after a short pause, and he thought to himself, "Yeah, I"m too impatient. Anyone who got a new body must get used to it. No one can run around right away."
On the side, Dark Demonic Armor Basturk froze after seeing this.
He was the product of a demonic G.o.d of h.e.l.l, so he knew that no mortal could create life. However, his great and n.o.ble master used this method that no one else thought about to create a mystical gold war puppet that had intelligence and great combat strength.
This mystical gold war puppet wasn"t inferior compared to Basturk, and the Dark Demonic Armor sensed a little bit of danger. He was afraid that after [No.1] got used to its body, Fei would abandon him since he wouldn"t be of much value.
This guy was already thinking about how to flatter the king and show the king his true value.
