Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 64 Explanations

The ritual proceeded with everyone but Lili singing the praises of lady luck and her friend, then the altar master Dustan presented the glorified spirit heart to the wors.h.i.+pers before solemnly placing it on the altar as a gift to "the lordly lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d" in an appreciation for the gifts given through him by lady luck and in hopes that she may grant them her favour in the future to come.

Lili was looking with held breath at the beautiful and solemn ritual, the kneeling wors.h.i.+pers, and only woke up with Dustan again throwing Yunan from above the throne, while everyone dusted their knees as if they did not just kneel down to the boy mere moment ago, while the throne was solemnly stored with great reverence. Only now did Lili's Brain start working again and with righteous fury hollard at the people grouping up for information sharing "blasphemy".

That did not even phase Debauchery in any way, they knew for fact that the ritual worked twice before and thus it will work again, so everyone just ignored Lili who was apprehended by Leader and brought in to the group to listen to the wisdom of master Balin. The lecture started with a modest "explain" by Leader after which Balin started to talk until it was near sunset time.

"Let's start with the Starheart, the one we had was a prospective of 20 points in three years and only works on children under 18, no need to mention you would require training as intense as ours to even gain 10 points from it, thanks to having us that is guaranteed 20 points. Next is the spirit stone, usually the bigger ones are fragmented into smaller stones and those are used in jewelry to create wisdom boosting items and they are worth a hefty sum each, but the stones decay after being mined and turn to sand after a few years, therefore there are very few of them at the same time in the markets"

"Then there is the mana cl.u.s.ter which can act as those mana potions of old, but in a gentler way, it does not shock the body into recognizing mana but gently introduce the two until one can naturally use mana without need for Tartarus, the gentle and pure mana it contains compliments and amplifies as well as restore the Starheart, so with enough minerals the combination of the three would take around a year from the lifespan of the Starheart and instead amplifies its effects to a wider range of beneficiaries, but all of that was amplified once more by the magical powers of dragon breath."

"We dwarves always made our furnaces using dragon flames to keep them from shattering or melting during a forging no matter how complex it is, a side effect was that the furnaces have a bit of the dragons flame in it forever, and that might be what drew our little friend here to spew fire at it. We dwarves have always partnered with dragons when there were dragons still roaming the world, until 800 years ago when all dragonkin died and only eggs were left behind, no one knows exactly how they died or why, but we know they all died within one week."

"The little critter may look like a wyrm or a wyvern but it is a dragon and a very rare one at that, do you see that egg sh.e.l.l he left behind? That is the mark of a true dragon, all other dragon kin eat their own eggs after birth, but dragons do not eat the egg sh.e.l.l but let them acc.u.mulate in the nest, as a beacon home. A dragon can recognise its own elders by the scents left over by the egg sh.e.l.ls, and the dragon clans are formed this way, only a member of the clan can be recognised by its own egg sh.e.l.l since all the clan members are born in the same nest. Any way, that little critter is an actual dragon and it has taken lord lucky here as its master, most likely because the effects of the Starheart and the mana cl.u.s.ter helped it hatch"

"To the main point, the spirit heart, since it kept its effects from the Starheart then if we do a good job raising the kids we can get them the full 50 points of growth in each attribute, and we the adults can have our 30 points just by staying beside them which is a good trade for staying outside of Tartarus for the long three years, that is some crazy growth no matter how you look at it. Thanks to me adding the enchanted necklace there was no need to spend mana on new enchantments, and the effects are satisfactory, the effects of the spirit heart is amplified by 20 fold and the area of its effects is 10 meters around lord lucky, and the concealment have grown from level 25 to level 60, so only those under its effect can notice the stone. That is all there is to know. As for the rest of the gems and precious ores that were not beneficial to the forging, we can sell for a good sum of money".

"I accept being around the heart for two years as the payment for the pleasure of forging the spirit heart, as for the payment from having the aid of the dragon i have forged 4 storage rings for the juniors" Balin stood up and started packing his furnace and checking it for any damages or any residue that might harm the furnace. "Next is me, as thanks for being around the spirit heart i will pay with the exclusive knowledge of beast-men on scouting and the ranger occupation" Lucian made his contribution. Next was Dustan " i can only offer small things for my share of the heart, i will make sure every item you wish to sell is sold for a better price and i will teach you my bartering techniques and an orc exclusive appraisal skill" then dustan stood up and started playing with the raw gems and the ores that were to be sold.

"I Fae of the elven race will share the healing and mana manipulation ways of the heart of the forest, if that is not enough i can give you my body to do as you please with " she winked at Yunan and made an alluring pose. Bai was more a bit more mature about this " i will teach the s.h.i.+ftiest ways of rogues, even some skills from Tartarus that i think only i know, beside that i have nothing else to give". Leader pa.s.sed the rings to Yunan and said " i don't have much to offer than knowledge and the loyalty of Debauchery as long as i live" Yunan only answered "accepted and that was it for the equivalent exchange Debauchery had.
