Chapter 432: Prepare (Part 2)

When it came to the second phase, the methods of refining spiritual artifacts changed slightly.

Artifact refining, like all things, was constantly evolving.

The higher the phase, the more perfect the artifact.

It was said that in the final phase, the amulets would disappear and possibly evolving even further.

Unfortunately, Amalia finished reading the final page, but there was nothing more.

The manuscript was not incomplete, but the second phase was the last recorded.

There might have been a third or fourth phase.

She had searched all the bookshelves but couldn’t find any further manuscripts.

Therefore, she always suspected that if the missing parts existed, they were likely in the unopened top-level section of the archives.

Amalia glanced at the gray-colored top level, which had no hints.

She had to rely on her own exploration.

As of now, she had no leads.

The conditions for opening the top level could be related to her own cultivation, artifact refining skills, or perhaps a specific code.

She knew none of these things, so she had to temporarily set aside her investigation.

For now, the most important thing was to improve her strength.

The second phase of artifact refining in the manuscript was slightly different in techniques and materials.

Amalia discovered that most of the necessary materials were located in the central disaster zone.

While they might be hard to find in other disaster zones, in the central disaster zone, they were almost everywhere, such as the crystal cores that was found in the brains of mutated creatures.

After making all the preparations, she began her work.

She had discovered long ago that artificer in Fruit Country followed a rather uniform refining system, primarily relying on the method she used in the past.

By using amulets to achieve maximum effect, this system was known as the amulet-based artifact system.

However, in Elder Yi Xiulan’s manuscript, it seemed that the method of using amulets as a medium was eventually discarded.

More details might be revealed once she unlocks the top-level bookshelves.

This time, she retreated for five days straight, not leaving her home until she felt a slight tremor on the ground.

Only when the last spiritual artifact was finally completed did Amalia stop.

Once she confirmed the artifact was problem-free, she left her room.

Upon returning to the outside world, the skies and the ground were crowded with people.

Various exchange points were packed with dense crowds, and from a distance, the roars of mutated creatures could be heard.

"Little Aunt, you’re done with your retreat?" Cassandra Lin’s voice called out with joy.

Samuel Salvador, who was nearby, was caught off guard by the address, causing a jolt through his body. He exclaimed, "Little Aunt?"

Amalia noticed Samuel Salvador’s expression and knew he had heard it.

She glared at Cassandra Lin.

Cassandra Lin looked at Samuel Salvador and revealed a guilty expression.

She had forgotten Samuel Salvador was also there.

"Well, um, I misspoke. I didn’t mean to call her that, not little aunt, not little aunt."

Cassandra Lin wondered if it was too late to make amends.

Samuel Salvador gave hrr a look that said "too late."

He could clearly hear it, and this reaction had another term: "the more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes."

Although he had long known that Amalia and Kenny Lin’s relationship was unusual, he never imagined that they were in romantic relationship—even being accepted by their families.

But that was all.

He didn’t see anything unusual in it, as relationships between people from aristocrat family and ordinary people were now very common.

Samuel Salvador cleared his throat.

But he hadn’t expected Amalia to allow Kenny Lin’s family to call him "Little Aunt."

The term seemed out of place for someone as aloof as Amalia.

"What’s the situation now?"

Amalia decided not to say anything more and took the initiative to change the topic.

Samuel Salvador knew she had been in retreat for a few days, so he explained, "The spiritual cultivators have already left the city. The area outside the walls is full of mutated creatures.

"Just as you guessed, these high-level mutated creatures are quite intelligent."

"They’ve only sent out land-type mutated creatures, while there aren’t many flying-type ones."

"It seems they’re deliberately creating the illusion that their main forces are land-type mutated creatures, while behind them, there’s a dense cluster of flying-type mutated creatures nesting."

"The battle will start in the next two days."

Cassandra Lin added this information after Samuel Salvador spoke.

Amalia nodded, "Then it’s either tonight or the night after. In these two nights, you both should be careful."

Both of them nodded.

Now that the mutated creatures’s army had assembled, it was too late to change plans.

The military, in charge of defending the city, no longer worried about the information being leaked.

"Cassandra, where’s your little uncle?" Amalia asked.

Cassandra Lin replied, "He seems to be on the city wall. For the past few days, Little Uncle has been going on patrols with Grandfather, and he’s probably still out there."

"Then let’s not worry about him. Over at the school, has Instructor Long arranged everything? Are they going to fight alone or collaborate with the military?" Amalia asked.

Samuel Salvador and Cassandra Lin were both considered as the leaders in their third year.

Instructor Long and Instructor Keith had already discussed everything with them.

"The Instructors have decided to disperse the students. Although everyone has experience fighting mutated creatures, this is the first time for most of the student to participate in a city defense battle. They also rarely fight against flying-type mutated creatures, so it’s best to have experienced people that could lead them."

Amalia thought the same way.

Even though everyone had been working together for the past month and had gotten used to it, the lack of experience in city defense battles could become a fatal weakness on the battlefield.

The atmosphere inside the city was becoming more tense.

Samuel Salvador and the others began to calm the students who had never participated in a city defense battle and were feeling anxious, helping them regain confidence.
