Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 731 - 96: Ravenclaw’s New Research Achievements

Ravenclaw's research achievement, the "Emerald Coffin," truly turns undead into entities similar to ancient trees, adding a tree ring each season and increasing defense by 300.

This research outcome remarkably presents both distinct advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is the growth cycle is exceedingly slow, taking three months per quarter to increase by 300 points. Without the acceleration triggered by Territorial Essence activating the Historically Significant Trait, the accrued bonus is quite limited.

However, the advantage is equally clear. This growth demands no cost; as long as one is alive, even while asleep, they can continuously become stronger. It's like an undead in a tomb waking after hundreds of years of slumber, with defense increasing by tens of thousands of points!

What kind of mutated Giant Dragon trait is this?

Let ordinary undead have the potential equal to Giant Dragons, what more do you want?

Even for Giant Dragons, solely relying on personal growth would likely match this pace in terms of defense.

Audrey immediately spoke joyfully: "Plant an undead in spring, harvest a giant tree in autumn. If I someday fall asleep, my undead soldiers will all grow into beings similar to the Life Ancient Tree! Hahaha."

"No, it's when I become a Divine Spirit, my undead followers will each flourish and grow into towering giant trees."

Lin Rui glanced at her and said, "You're thinking too ideally. Ravenclaw's loyalty level is 0; figuring out how to manage him is the key, otherwise as soon as you leave, he'll run off with your army right after you."

Audrey patted her chest confidently and said, "Is there anything in this world that I can't handle? Ravenclaw, follow me, and I guarantee you'll enjoy the good life. How about it?"

Ravenclaw, although his hair was like a messy bird's nest and he appeared quite deranged, still looked at Audrey with a gaze reserved for the mentally unsound: "Does a Witch Demon like me need a life of luxury and indulgence?"

Audrey's momentum halted; she seemed to finally realize the question and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Ravenclaw held his head high, full of contempt, arrogantly glancing at Audrey: "My ideals are beyond the comprehension of a foolish mortal like you."

Audrey's chest heaved with anger: "I am someone destined to become a Divine Spirit; can any greater ideal surpass mine?"

"Divine Spirit?" Ravenclaw scoffed dismissively: "A bunch of parasites, that's all. What I aim to do is grander than divine aspirations. Sooner or later, I'll achieve sanctity through my mortal form, and drag all those fat-brained Divine Spirits off their Divine Thrones."

Audrey became infuriated, which indicated that he absolutely wouldn't join her ranks and become part of the Golden Pansy Domain.

"So, you're saying you absolutely won't serve me or be used by our domain?"

Ravenclaw held his head high and puffed out his chest: "Even if I'm beaten to death, buried deep in the forest, I'll never serve those Pseudo-Gods!"

"Alright then. Seems I'll have to resort to some special means." Audrey took out a large black artifact from her private space.

[Legendary Artifact: Devouring Jaw: The Scarab Titan opens its massive obsidian and onyx jaws to gnaw enemies. Simply applying pressure can crush bones and metal. In the hands of a hero, it can unleash even greater effects; once activated, it can trigger Soul Slaying Hunger, releasing its most fearsome power, transforming into a Gate of Howling connecting to the Domain of Death, extracting and merging living souls into the dark abyss. This fusion allows two soldier breeds to become one, granting stronger Power of Evil. (Each fusion consumes 1 permanent Soul Value and 100,000 Spiritual Energy Value from the hero)]

"Since you can't be used personally, I'll merge your soul with that of a loyal soldier. Aren't you fond of fusing bones? Well, I'll fuse your soul. Which breed would you like to merge with? How about Fur Ball? A Witch Demon riding a wolf sounds unique, doesn't it?" Audrey asked cheerfully.

Fur Ball, pulled forth, immediately tucked its tail tightly, shook its head crazily, and wailed pitifully. Staying a lustful wolf is fine, but it definitely doesn't want to merge with a filthy Witch Demon!

It would rather be sliced by Silver Moon several more times than be a Witch Demon, losing joy in life forever.

Ravenclaw, however, unhesitatingly knelt before Audrey, his voice passionately fervent: "Supreme master, your most loyal servant Ravenclaw vows to serve you forever. Being able to kneel at your feet is my greatest honor, and basking in your glorious aura is my most intoxicating pleasure. You are undoubtedly adorable and charming, beautiful and generous. But if you could reward me with this Legendary Artifact: Devouring Jaw, you'd be truly magnificent!"

He knelt with such firmness and determination that even a yellow oriole landed on his head, curiously observing the people before it.

Is no one really able to escape the law of truth??

Audrey glanced at him, then at the Legendary Artifact: Devouring Jaw in her hand, marveling at the smoothness of his attitude change!

Does this item hold such allure for him?

Giving him this Legendary Artifact isn't entirely out of the question.

Audrey no longer had Blood Dragon Knights under her command; she initially sought this item to merge the Blood Dragon Knights and Ghost Dragons to form a stronger Epic-level troop, the Crimson Heavy Armored Dragon Rider.

But now, her strongest unit has upgraded from the Epic-level Crimson Heavy Armored Dragon Rider to the Legendary-level Four Royal Knights.
