Chapter 394: The Applications of Non-Attribute Magic Stones

The Rollo Kingdom and its three subordinate duchies, along with the southern nations, would require division into five distinct teams.

Presently, excluding logistical personnel Worker Liquor and Ji Qiao, plus Red Pupil and Little Tear remaining in Granville Monster Forest, only fourteen shape-shifted daughters remain available. The delegation accompanying Magic Rainbow to Rollo Kingdom’s capital had long been decided – Army Lady, Lvzi, Stealth One, along with Demon One and Two, supplemented by three hundred Stealth Ants operating covertly.

This substantial deployment stems from Magic Rainbow and the Demon pair’s unique objective: infiltrating Rollo Magic Academy as students and instructors to acquire magical knowledge while potentially uncovering reincarnator intelligence, possibly even establishing direct contact with new subjects.

The remaining eight daughters would accordingly be distributed across four locations with two per team. The southern expedition with Flossie to locate a Mountain Lord presents particular challenges. The designated Beast Mountain Range (alternatively called Mountains of Beasts) teems with monsters as its name implies. Flossie notes its dense vegetation and geographical resemblance to Granville Monster Forest beyond mere hillscapes, making the Mountain Lord’s tracking particularly arduous.

Thus, aerial specialists Purple Cloud and Purple Mist were assigned to assist Flossie, later transitioning to reincarnator intelligence gathering in southern territories with three hundred Stealth Ant support.

Regarding the three duchies: the distant yet formidable Principality of Reba warranted deploying Darkling Stalker and Weak Sound – despite personality differences, Little Shadow and Little Sound’s prior combat synergy promised effective collaboration. Duchy of Ma’ika and Duchy of Donelas would be handled by Military One-Two and Dig One-Two respectively, each team backed by three hundred Stealth Ants.

The security calculus proved straightforward – three hundred Class B Stealth Ants equated to three hundred B-class adventurers. With Aowenduo Town’s sole B-class being its Guild President, such contingent could counter all threats save reincarnators or humanity’s elite warriors.

Post-deployment discussions revealed most daughters accepted assignments, though some expressed seasonal reluctance – wishing to prolong spring’s early days with their creator. While sharing their sentiment, practical preparations necessitated delay.

Outstanding tasks included completing Snow Silkworm silk maid outfits – crucial for maintaining combat efficacy in human form without mandibles or arthropodal limbs. These garments permitted rapid donning via Magic Backpack without exposure risks, vital for sudden danger.

The dragon cavern’s non-attribute Magic Stones presented revolutionary potential. Their skill-nullifying properties (including Unique Skills) demanded careful implementation. Crafting bladed weapons with stone tips and insulated handles minimized interference while preserving anti-magic effects. Partial armament integration proved optimal – full Magic Stone weapons impaired skill activation through proximity.

Weaponization strategies diversified: sword points, spearheads, arrowheads. Though most daughters lacked martial proficiency, concealed Magic Stone daggers in Earth Dragon-hide sheaths provided universal defense. The ethically-sourced dragon leather (harvested from previous conflicts, not current subordinate Earth Dragons) prevented magical interference when sheathed.

Notable exceptions included Army Lady and Military One-Two. The former’s armament modifications faced storage limitations – Magic Stone components barred Magic Backpack storage. Her final loadout comprised:

1) Waist-concealed Magic Stone dagger

2) Dragonhide-sheathed longsword

3) Standard bow with Magic Stone arrows (quiver-carried)

4) Belt-stored throwing knives

Through combat experience, Army Lady had acquired diverse proficiencies including the rare “Throwing Knife Talent” alongside her “Sword Talent” and “Archery Talent”. This armament refinement balanced tactical versatility with logistical constraints imposed by the Magic Stones’ unique properties.
