Returning to castle he went to his room and tightly closed the door changed his clothes and started organising his gains.
First it was the horn of the rabbit he should give to the alchemist and see if he can use it to make a potion or to the blacksmith to make a weapon 🔪.
Second he while drinking the blood of the shadow lynx he awakened another bloodline memory in it he saw his new bloodline ability if he drink from the prey directly and it has bloodline power or affinity he could obtain them if they didn't conflict with his body.
If they and able to tolerate the pain he would gain a certain amount of immunity against said power element and the higher the level the higher the immunity percentage and also the pain and it would lead to certain death at it was proven by some adventurous vampires 🦇 .
He also was warned in the memory that he shouldn't reveal his identity as a vampire until he strong enough and has a powerful organisation backing him and he will get more information as he progresses in the path of power.
As for the power he will get from the lynx blood it was medium affinity with shadow element as from the memory he obtained the power he gained wouldn't surpass the one of the original creature he got it from and most of the time is lower than the original but it can be improved by training if it's bloodline skill or by consuming certain herbs of it's an element affinity or body constitution like sperituel body of fire which help in training fire technique and so on.
And third the quality and quantity of the blood he got from the lynx while he lost some due the injury 🩸 he got the rest which would help propelle him in his cultivation while from medium to hight level would need five time the amount of blood and for his previous breakthrough was fast due to residual power of that drop of blood and the ressources previously consumed by the former host.
So he opted first to start writing the hierarchy of the army it will follow the modern standards of the blue star armies,as for fighting styles he taught he will train a batch of infantry to act like the legendary legion of Rome which will be the back bone and shiel of the army.then a batch of rifleman and artillery who will be used to wounded the enemy and cavalry to deliver the final blow to the enemy.
Later special contingent will be added as the need for them will rise and if he could gather ressources to be able to hire and train them like magicien and Sky knight and likes.
So he started writing his reform as he would present it tomorrow to his military counsel and representative mainly Crowley the butler and Jean the acting chamberlain of the barrony.
So after being done with it was the turn to write the process of the making of some few money making light industry like paper makingđź“ś and porcelain for starter and after equipping his army and finished training it he will target Manheim .
And after taking it back their he will the most gold making industry of all salt producing from the sea .
He will have Jean to also charter a zone in the city for paper workshop he will need to task some lumberjack to cut and harvest some trees and separate them to two groupes softwood for strength and hardwood for softenss this making to product at same time a cheap one for everyday use and hight quality one hopefully to be use by nobles.
As he could from his memories this world still used parchment for writing and they expensive đź«° taking a large chunk of money đź’° of any business or when administrating a territory or in churches.
The porcelain workshop would need first he making of kaolin so he will announce that he need a groupe of miners who would be task with collecting clay 🧱 and transforming to kaolin Which is essential for the production of porcelain .
As for heavy industry first he will start with turning his mined iron to tools of farming for his land , another part to weapons to be used at beginning by his soldiers then to be sold to his waring neighbours in the vinizia county or other buyers.
and finally the rest will be turned to steel to make armour and weapons giving his army 🪖 a considerable edge when facing his enemies specifically the pirates turned guards under that traitor.
So after finishing with what was needed to be prepared for tomorrow he opted to start studying his new acquired shadow element.
so he concentrated on his shadow and if he could believe his eyes a little but it consumed some mana.
To diminish the mana consumption you need three things : the higher the affinity with element the easier to comprehend and activate a skill.
Which would lead us to the the affinity division they're five known categories: low, medium,high,superior and heaven.
he doesn't have knowledge if there's a higher talent than heaven but knowing every from every novel he read before probably there's.
The second training the more you train rising a certain element or a skill the easier it become and would make the mana consumption lower as the user will become familiar with the move this eliminating unnecessary moves.
And finally building a spell model as that would make a lot easier to cast and using the elements directly without is considered the lowest form of Wizard 🪄 even some comparing the user to nothing more than a goblin 👺 wizard it's more like an insult.
So he need to task either the butler or if there's merchant group to get him some level 0 spell of the dark and shadow element or those with neutral element like magic hand as for level 1 either he will awaken them from his bloodline and modify them with research,buy in auction or looting them from defeated enemies that is highly unlikely.
Thus a schedule for training was forming in his mind by day he will supervise his territory
After that some skill training and by night looking for some prey but that couldn't be done every day.
First he risk exposure of his powers which he doesn't how his subordinate and previous family will react.
Second even as a vampire he needs to rest in order for his body to adjust and digest his new found gains as not get blindsided by any injuries or faulty cultivation or over cultivation as that my lead even to his death.
So he will continue with his shadow skill until he run out of mana then Start refining some of the lynx blood as he will need a around a week to finish refining it.
