Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Spirit: Cassio Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Spirit: Cassio “Hey, I say, Heloise.” Muria looked at exactly five hundred mechanical soldiers brandishing ship-slicing blades and charging towards the mountain he had chosen, his lip twitching, “Are they supposed to build my home?”

“You’ve seen it for yourself, haven’t you?”

“I don’t think they’re here to build my house at all.” Muria looked at some of the mechanical soldiers that had even set up their energy cannons, “I think they’re preparing to level the mountain I chose.”

“Boom!” As soon as he finished speaking, a loud explosion resounded above Muria’s head. “Boom!” “Boom!” …Then, series of explosions could be heard, causing shattered boulders to rain down.

“You’re really planning to blast the mountain!” Muria looked at the dazzling beams of energy occasionally flashing overhead, staring fixedly at J508 in front of him, “Weren’t you supposed to build me a house?”

“Prince Muria, please understand. This our way of construction.” The voice of J508 contained not a trace of emotion, “We are using energy cannons to rapidly clear a plot of land.”

“…” Muria fell silent before turning to look at Heloise and questioned, “Isn’t this a weapon of war for slaughter? How could it be used to build my house? Did you summon the wrong thing?”

“There was no mistake.” An electric arc darted from Heloise’s body, shattering a boulder that was falling towards her. “That was how they built my house back then.”

“Aren’t there any mechanical creatures specifically for construction?”

“No!” Heloise looked at the flattened top of the mountain in front of her, her voice indifferent. “The Lord believed that only mechanical warriors made for slaughter and war are useful; constructing other functional mechanical puppets would just be a waste of resources.”

The rumbling noise overhead didn’t cease until some time had passed, and the mist swirling around the majestic mountain had been blown away by the commotion caused by the Mechanical Legion, revealing the upper part of the mountain to Muria.

The top part of the mountain had been blasted away, and many of these mechanical soldiers, who were, on average, over twenty meters tall, were lifting large chunks of rock – debris created by blasting the mountain.

Many of the mechanical soldiers standing beside them used ship-slicing blades to slice these pieces of rock neatly as if cutting butter. When they encountered extremely irregular rocks or rocks that were too large, they would resort to the energy weapons they carried on their bodies.

“Boom!” “Boom!” …Explosions could be heard from time to time on the mountaintop. The process of the Mechanical Legion building a residence for Muria was extremely violent, causing him to feel as if he was in the midst an interstellar battle.

Despite Muria being rendered speechless by the construction methods of these mechanical creatures, their efficiency was unbelievably high. Before his very eyes, a course but grand structure was gradually taking shape at the top of the mountain that he had selected.

“Is it done?” Having waited for just over an hour, Muria looked at the completed architectural structure on the mountaintop and asked J508, who was leading the Mechanical Legion.

“Please wait a moment longer, Prince Muria. Many facilities in your residence have not been perfected yet.”

“What else…” As soon as he spoke, Muria thought of No.7 in Heloise’s courtyard who had an amiable demeanor, and the teleportation array that could be built at any time, and immediately shut his mouth. He knew what was missing.

“Prince Muria, your residence still needs…”

“No, no need for that, I know.” Muria raised his hand to stop J508, who wished to continue speaking, “Right now, I just want to know how much longer you will need to complete this.”

“We need another two hours.”

…

“The construction is completed, Prince Muria, please go ahead and complete the contract with the spirit within your residence.”

“My spirit?” Upon hearing J508’s words, a smile appeared on Muria’s face. He was a little impatient. Upon seeing Heloise’s No.7, he, too, wished to have a similar spirit.

However, when Muria walked into the courtyard that was built by the Mechanical Legion for him, he was stunned at the sight of a slowly pulsating semi-transparent white sphere.

“This is my spirit?” Muria pointed at the large white sphere in irritation and questioned J508 who was standing behind him. “Just a ball? Heloise’s spirit was not like this.”

“Prince Muria, this is the initial form of the spirit. You have not completed the contract with your spirit. After you complete the contract, you can freely change the appearance of the spirit. However, you only have one chance to do so.”

“How do I complete the contract?”

“Just put your hand into the sphere.”

Upon hearing J508’s words, Muria moved in front of the floating, pulsating white sphere, stared at it for several seconds, then raised his hand. After a slight pause in mid-air, he inserted it into the sphere.

“Hiss!” Muria frowned, for as soon as his hand entered the sphere, he felt a warm sensation, as if sticking his hand into a comfortable warm bath. However, just as he started to enjoy it, a slight sting could be felt – his fingers had been pricked.

Through the semi-transparent white sphere, Muria could faintly see a drop of pale-golden blood seeping from his finger. The small wound healed quickly, bleeding just enough to let a single droplet of blood flow out.

“Hum!” As Muria’s blood dripped, visible changes occurred. The white sphere remained stationary and emitted a slight hum. Golden halos of light emanated from Muria’s blood, and within a few seconds, the color of the white sphere changed to pale gold.

“Please grant me a new form.” As the color of the sphere changed, the sphere seemed to become more lively, as if it had come to life. It then conveyed a faint intention to Muria’s Sea of Spirits.

“Grant a new form?” After Muria perceived this intention, he naturally had a feeling that he could freely alter the appearance of the pale-golden sphere into any form he desired.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of Heloise and J508, the pale-golden sphere quickly transformed from a spherical shape into a very vague human form. This form had no clear features, but the curvaceous form clearly revealed the femininity Muria wanted the spirit to exude.

“What should it look like?” Muria was indecisive. He had the power to determine the spirit’s appearance, race, and gender, all at will. Muria naturally selected a female human form. But he was unsure about its detailed appearance.

Muria wasn’t devoid of ideas. Rather, he had too many female forms in his memory, which made it a tough choice for him. He wanted to select them all, but the spirit’s appearance could only be altered freely once and only one form could be chosen.

“Forget it, I’ll form one myself!” Exhausted by his indecisiveness under Heloise’s increasingly impatient gaze, Muria finally decided to create an entirely new form instead.

And thus, a female spirit with the innocence of a Loli, the proud figure of a mature woman, and the gentle elegance of a lady briskly materialised in Muria’s residence.

“Master, please name me. ” The female spirit in the gorgeous long dress bowed slightly to Muria.

“Your name?” Upon hearing this, Muria felt a headache. Thinking about the offbeat look in Heloise’s eyes, he wanted to name his spirit after a number, just like her. But he figured it was a bit too unoriginal.

“You will be called…” After pondering for a while, Muria finally decided, “Cassio, your name will be Cassio.”

“Cassio, create a teleportation array to my residence.” As soon as Muria finished naming her, without any hesitation, Heloise was quick to give the first command.

“Master?” Cassio looked at Muria with her innocent face to confirm whether she should execute the order.

“Yes, build it for her!” Muria waved his hand, allowing his spirit to assist Heloise in constructing the teleportation array.

Just like when Muria first arrived at the Titan Clan Lands, the radiant magic lights lit up the ground already processed by the Mechanical Legion, constructing the Teleportation Array.

“Are you leaving now?” Muria looked at Heloise, and habitually used a phrase from his past life, “Won’t you stay a little longer?”

“No need.” Heloise looked Cassio over with a weird look in her eyes, “Now that you have a spirit, all your doubts can be asked to her. For us now, the spirit knows everything.”

“Knows everything?” Muria looked at his own spirit, a bit taken aback, “My spirit has just been born.”

“These spirits in all the Titan buildings are connected to the database set up by my master. Any questions you may have, the spirits will connect to the database and find you the best answer.” Standing on the side, J508 explained.

“I see.” Muria nodded, his expressionless face hiding his inner shock. This was nothing but a far superior version of the internet from his past life.

“Master, Lady Heloise, the Teleportation Array is complete.” At this moment, Cassio reported her progress in a soft voice. A dazzling teleportation array, glowing with spiritual light, had formed on the ground.

“I’m leaving, Muria. Work on your fighting skills! Hopefully, the next time we meet, I will see a stronger you.” Seeing that the array was complete, Heloise stepped onto it as the teleportation light gleamed.

“I will.” Muria replied, brimming with confidence.

Just as Heloise was about to be teleported away, she left behind one last piece of advice, “Muria, if you want to become stronger, you must suppress certain attributes of the dragon. Do not let your bloodline affect your judgement.”

“Uh!” Hearing the advice that Heloise left just before teleporting away, Muria scratched his chin helplessly, “Suppress certain dragon attributes.”

“Is it because of Cassio?” Muria looked at his well-proportioned translucent spirit and thought about the strange look in Heloise’s eyes just now, “Surely, I couldn’t have set my spirit to look like a muscle-bound Titan. That would be too strange.”

“Lord Muria, your residence has been completely constructed, our mission here is finished. Please allow us to take our leave.”

“Okay, J508. Till next time.”

Upon hearing Muria’s words, the azure electronic eyes of J508 flickered once, and then, along with the rest of the mechanical soldiers, it soared back up into the sky, returning to the battleships hovering in mid-air. Before disappearing it left behind a voice that went unheard, “Lord Muria, we are weapons made for war, there will never be a chance for a second encounter.”

Muria raised his head and saw a huge teleportation array appear in front of a battleship several thousand meters long in the sky. The smooth body of the battleship slowly disappeared into the teleportation array…
