Although the castle was clean again, it wasn't wet, mainly thanks to Eva's control over water. She was an eighth level water mage, her control was perfect. The water only washed away the dirt until the castle was practically shining, and then there was nothing left but a little water vapor after she was done.
After Eva cleaned the castle, Ash immediately took the supplies back out from his space, along with some corn stalks for the kitchen and the slaves. After all, they needed this stuff to live. Once those things were taken out, Ash left Meg to finish cleaning the castle, while he took Eva and Green to go check out the Iron mountain.
Previously Eva had planted some seedlings using the space water as a research. Those Seedlings survived because this place wasn't exposed to undead spirit beasts.
Ash patted the earth and stood up. "Grandpa Green, Grandma Eva, after we go back and settle things, we can use the spatial water on these tiny seedlings. Since the spatial water can detoxify, maybe it can also improve the land. The success rate might be low, but if it is successful, we can do it many times in one day."
Eva was surprised. "Master, didn't you say that you could only improve one mu of land per day?"
"Certainly, the space has specified that we couldn't do so much land improvement, but it never said anything about just using the spatial water. We'll need some more land to test, and I have a lot of corn in my barn that we could use as corn seeds. Let's try it to see whether we could do it or not."
Before Eva could speak, Green nodded his head and said, "Master, this is a good idea, but will we run out of spatial water?"
Ash chuckled. "That shouldn't be the case. When so many of us were living inside the space, we were drinking water every day. The amount of water everyone drank per day was certainly not a small amount, yet did you see if there was less spatial water?"
"There really wasn't any decrease," Green recalled. "This is really great, Master. But I still think we should first go send the radishes to the Markey Company. Then we could start growing oil fruit seeds and alfafa seeds on the mountain. Once we douse it with spatial water, we can slowly change the mountain land to shorten the growth period of the oil fruit trees. Once we have a good harvest, then we can have a fixed income."
Ash nodded. "Yes, we should do that. But I'm a bit worried that when we go deliver the radishes, what would happen to the people in the castle when we leave? If the Undead Spirit attacks once again then the salves will killed. So I am thinking of leaving 2,000 thousand shadows to protect the salves."
" But young master what if Undead spirits more powerful than your shadows attacks? Your shadow won't able to protect the salves." Green looked worried as he said.
Ash smiled and said." Grandpa Green, don't forget that my Shadow are different from undead. I can probably exchange my position with any shadow's position. I have yet to explore my Shadow Monarch powers. Plus, Grandpa I don't think undead Spirit will attack at least for few months. Since they have washed their bodies with clean water. Grandma, give me few days to completely explore my shadow Monarch powers then I will decide whether to take the salves with us or not. "
" Green, I think what Young master saying is right. I agree with young master. There is almost 5 percent probability of undead spirit attacking Iron mountain." Eva agreed with Ash idea.
" Yes, outsiders might think that the last of Anderson clan members have died because Posing from undead spirits. This is a advantage for us." Green.
" Then, we should get ready to head as soon as possible." Ash was very excited. He always wanted to explore this continent. Green and Eva nodded and left.
When Ash returned to the castle, he told Meg to make the nessecery preparation. In two days, they were going to go to the Purcell Duchy with everybody.
" Meg, I will be testing my powers in the black waste. Do not allow anyone to distribute me. Tell Grandpa Green and Grandma Eva about this." Ash felt after saying that. Meg nodded.
....
Behind the castle, 10 Km away from Iron mountain. Ash was standing with his eyes closed. Ash recalled all the information that was given to him by the system when he was unconscious.
"According to the system, I have inherited the skills of Shadow Monarch.
Shadow Extraction. [ Shadow Extraction allows its users to revive a slain being as a shadow. The skill is triggered through a set keyword; in Ash's case, his keyword is "Arise.". It was chosen by the system. Much like Ruler's Authority, Shadow Extraction does not consume mana when used and can also be used over a large radius, allows its users to extract hundreds of shadows at once.]
Shadow Preservation. [ Space can help the host to preserve and control Shadows at infinite number without using any Chakra. Host can preserve his shadows in storage and monitor them by perceiving their senses.
Shadow Save: Ash can store the shadows that he has turned into his soldiers inside of his own shadow and recall them when needed.
]
Shadow Exchange.[Shadow Exchange allows its user to instantly swap places with one of their shadows, regardless of how large the range is between the user and the shadow. Because Host Chakra level is low, host can only use Shadow Exchange once in 4 hours.]
Monarch's Domain [ Monarch's Domain is a buff skill unique to the Shadow Monarch and his vessel. Monarch's Domain allows its user to buff the stats of their active shadow soldiers by 50% in battle. Monarch's Domain does not consume mana to use. It also does not have any known weaknesses.]
Immense Physical Prowess: [Ashborn was ridiculously strong, to the point that he was able to brutally overpower both Baran and the Beast Monarch at the same time and effortlessly crush Baran's skull in one hand, bursting his left eye and killing the Demon King on the spot. As the successor of Ashborn, the host will also possess strength equivalent to 10 elephants. A adult elephant can lift 10,000 kg.]
Ruler's Authority. [ Ruler's Authority, also called Ruler's Hands, is a skill exclusive to the Rulers and their vessels. Ruler's Authority is a form of telekinesis unique to the Rulers and the humans that they choose to bestow their powers upon. Given how strong the Rulers are, at full power this skill is almost like a miniature black hole. It can also be applied over a large radius. Despite how handy Ruler's Authority can be in battle, it is useless against opponents with superior magical power.]
Longevity.[ a long duration of individual life.]
Immunity. [ can recover from any injuries. Immune to any poison. Immunity can be defined as a complex biological system endowed with the capacity to recognize and tolerate]
Detoxification [ removal of toxic substances.]
Tenacity. [courage, mettle, spirit, resolution, tenacity mean mental or moral strength to resist opposition, danger, or hardship. courage implies firmness of mind and will in the face of danger or extreme difficulty.]
