Veranika was dumbfounded, not only because of Five-Willow’s uniqueness but also because of Gaven’s clever manipulation.
This was simply squeezing the value out of a spell to the extreme.
Even a Shrinking Spell cast by a mage with the Extreme Efficiency specialization was nothing more than a fifth-ring spell, and it was still more cost-effective than a seventh-ring high-level Teleportation Spell.
After returning to the Tower of Dominion, Gaven immediately sent Five-Willow to the negative first floor, which was no surprise to him.
Here, Five-Willow’s Special Ability to absorb Negative Energy was enhanced, with the absorption rate increasing tenfold.
Based on this fact alone, their permanent location in the future would be Mesnoel, not Weizemay Manor.
In fact, not just them, many aspects of Weizemay Manor could be shifted in this direction.
For example, the Shadow Weaving Factory, which was the most straightforward—whether it was the workers or the machinery, they were all of Shadow nature—Gaven simply needed to think, and they were all sent to the negative thirty-third floor.
Placing those few Shadow Weaving Integrating Machines from Weizemay Manor inside, it was far from simply being empty.
But this Shadow Weaving Factory was in its early development stage, and it was bound to expand wildly in the future.
Seeing where Gaven had placed it, one could easily see his ambition—it was one of the largest rooms besides the Sealing Space, spanning tens of thousands of square meters.
The treasury was no exception. Where in Weizemay Manor could it be safer than in the Tower of Dominion in Mesnoel?
There, his personal treasures were all transferred by Gaven to the negative first floor of the Tower of Dominion, which was to serve as the treasury floor for a short period.
As for the difference between the negative first floor and negative thirty-second floor, it wasn’t significant.
Becaue enemies were directly barred from entry, unable to gain access, so if someone managed to infiltrate the Tower of Dominion’s negative first floor, they would probably be able to reach other levels as well.
There were some things the Tower of Dominion couldn’t fully substitute for Weizemay Manor, such as the Undead Divinity it bore, which couldn’t be transferred over. The Tower of Dominion only amplified Weizemay Manor’s abilities, not replaced them.
For example, the Shadow Wine’s brewing base would still need to be in Weizemay Manor, as it was closer to the actual vineyards, and the Spirit Gathering Cellar could only be there because the process of dragging through Negative Energy was also a period of full Negative Energy infusion, which would completely destroy the inner Balance of the energy in Ghost Grape Wine, turning it into foul Evil Water.
Not only Ghost Grape Wine but grains were also not within the scope of dragging.
This, Gaven had known long ago; grains could be lightly contaminated by Negative Energy, which was more beneficial for storage, but their vitality would be greatly impacted and they could no longer serve as seeds, otherwise, the germination rate would be very low.
Nor could they be completely saturated with Negative Energy, as that would leave nothing but a pile of inedible corrupted substances.
After all, Negative Energy transport was not a standard conveyance channel and still had significant limitations.
It was not until he had moved most of the functions that could be transferred from Weizemay Manor over to this side that Gaven began the original purpose of this experiment—clearing those trees killed by Corruption Power.
Unlike purification, after infusing the trees with Undead Divinity-laden Negative Energy, the residual Corruption Power within those trees was immediately transformed into the Power of Undead, then dragged off to Gaven’s designated location, neatly becoming the best quality Shadow Wood Material.
He achieved the purpose of clearing corruption, cleared the paths, and also gathered Shadow Wood Material.
Gaven wasn’t too eager to expand the road from Mesnoel to Darama initially.
However, with the Tower of Dominion’s demon-like abilities unveiling and its close tie to Weizemay Manor, Gaven could no longer treat it as a mere exclave.
He planned to focus a bit more on this side so that soon he would be able to coordinate with Zalanda from Darama and even conduct perfect cooperation with the soon-to-arrive Blood Claw.
By then, Blood Claw and their group would no longer be just loose kites but have a tight hoop curse fastened above their heads.
If they aren’t compliant, they would face a pincer attack from both Mesnoel and Darama.
"So much Shadow Wood Material–with this wood, I can do many things I previously couldn’t," Daphne said, clearly excited. "This way, our Shadow Weaving Factory can expand on a large scale. It’s just a pity that we don’t have many Shadow Workers, especially the high-quality ones. Although we harvested nearly a hundred mercenary ghosts during the Sambia invasion, their quality is generally not high, and there are only a few who are qualified to manipulate the Shadow Weaving Integrating Machines."
"Don’t worry, we’ll soon have a large number of qualified Shadow Workers joining us," Gaven confidently stated. "Come, let’s go meet those Golia Tribesmen. You’ll have to deal with them sooner or later."
The arrival of Daphne and her group gave Gaven one more card to play against those scattered Dwarves Elves, boosting his confidence.
"Alright," Daphne replied, excitement barely concealed in her demeanor.
It was clear from Gaven’s words that she was about to be entrusted with an important task.
While he was busy moving equipment these past few days, the Mountain Tribe had already completed their relocation.
They themselves were a Nomadic Tribe of the highlands, accustomed to incessant relocation; moving was an exceedingly simple matter for them.
Apart from their personal gear, the greatest wealth of this Golia Tribe consisted of a group of goats not exceeding five hundred, twenty to thirty Highland Roth Beasts, and a bunch of highland tents.
