Chapter 413 Weapons of War Part 3 (1/2)

I had to make a specific medicine, which could be used to prolong the freshness of… skin. This was a trick Nathan taught me, and I had the herbs required with me at all times. There was no name for it, but the herbs used were called Light Tulip and Powdery Shroom. The shroom's properties were poisonous, but in a weird way. It actually stopped the decomposition of corpses and such. It grew on the corpses and carcases alike, and was quite rare. The herb wasn't poisonous to touch, but if ingested, there would be a few issues one would need to deal with.

For one, some of the organs could stop functioning, and that could be fatal. The Light Tulip on the other hand, had medical properties. It improved regeneration and promoted freshness. In a sense, it could be used as a refreshing tonic for the body. But when those two were mixed, they produced something else entirely.

I had to cook the shroom first, and then take out the dregs before throwing in the Light Tulip. The next step was also different. After the Light Tulip, I had to extinguish the fire for a while. The properties of Light Tulip would slowly seep into the mixture. Only when the properties were completely extracted, I could start the fire again.

With the medicine completed, I didn't extinguish the fire. Instead, I threw the Ognar's tendons inside, then covered the pot with the lid. The medicine didn't boil, but had to stay warm for the tendons to absorb the medicine. Meanwhile the Atols returned with a large pot and a few other tools. The pot had a lid, but no holes in it. I took the lid from them, and punched out some tiny holes in it.

”Here, with this, the pot and lid should be alright. Wait for a while, as I finish with this thing. You can start practicing afterwards” I said while passing them the lid. One of the Atols asked curious, ”What medicine did you make this time?”. I replied with a smile, ”It's not really a medicine per say. It's something I need to prolong the freshness of the tendons. Before you ask, I need them for new weapon”. They nodded, and didn't pry any further.

Around ten to twenty minutes later, I extinguished the flame and took out the warm tendons from the pot. They became a bit more elastic, but that would change when they cooled down properly. After pocketing the tendons, I took the pot outside, and dumped the content somewhere safer. ”Alright. Practice one at a time. I need to work on that new weapon. If you have any issues, I will be somewhere near the fields. Pop in to ask anything that's on your minds”. They nodded and seemed quite eager to begin their practice.

I left them, and headed to the place where Shades stored those dead trees. I was quite shocked by the amount left. 'Hmm, I think they will need loads more, looking at the state of those walls' I thought. The amount left, was abysmal compared to what used to be there. I also used some of that for the water delivery system... I still took one large log, and carried it towards the fields.

'I will take half of the army with me later, and we will cut down some trees... Whether they are dead or not' I thought. This would be a good exercise for them. Atols and Lizards would gain some experience at the same time. 'The problem is, we need to go to Dead Forest again… Before that, I need to take that Voltic Orb from Crow. Just in case' I thought.

With the log transported, I took out my Razor Swords and connected them while activating the Formation. ”Vooom!”, the sword hummed into life. I needed a few specific pieces for the weapon. For one, I needed the arch, which would be used to hold the string. I also needed the platform, on which the large bow would rest. Then there was the underbody of the bow, and a few other bits and pieces.

'I have the design memorised, I just have to work from my memory' I thought, and cut the log into a few large pieces. I couldn't use my Razor Sword in order to shape them, so I had to use my daggers. Precision was time consuming, but it had to be done. I sat the hour after hour, shaping the pieces. I began from the hardest, and the most important pieces.
