These aren't what Samuel wants, he wants a method to at least strengthen the Mortals on his planes a bit. Potentially improving their bloodline.
After all, Mortals often create a Family, deciding whether they flourish or crumble.
Although the System ensures any child born from a Dog Of war will have a Spiritual Root, there are too many mortals to rely on the Dogs of War alone.
Especially in the future if Samuel occupies Planes with Billions of Mortals.
Of course Samuel wants to find a way to increase their strength and the probability of them giving birth to warriors.
If he can learn how to recreate the myth of a family where all Mortals are comparable to warriors, of course that would be even better!
But Samuel quickly gave up on that idea before Leslie came. Because those 50,000 Warriors couldn't even start!
However it is different now. Samuel immediately took the remainder of his savings and passed them along for research.
Currently his income is just increasing. As the amount of Dogs of War increases his income proportionately increases even with the rising costs and the products he is trying to stockpile.
Samuels yearly income has actually reached a staggering 10,000 Spiritual Crystals!
But he divided that up, leaving 2,000 to be sent to his research team each year. After all the experiments and tests require a lot of high tech equipment and herbs.
Maybe more importantly, they require all sorts of ancient manuels. Not warrior skills but ancient martial arts from various planes.
There are many libraries that contain these but they often charge. And Samuel told his Dogs of War to buy as many books about it as they can and store them away in case.
In a matter of a month, Samuel heard about the acquisition of over 10,000 Martial Arts books!
Some of them are completely different martial arts, from various races. And some just being improved versions of other Martial arts with slight changes made by warriors.
The most expensive actually cost the researchers a lot more than they anticipated. Samuel found that many warriors had attempted to alter basic attempts before.
Although not to the dedication that the Old Man's son did, but with an extremely long life span people often get bored.
So Samuel purchased a lot from warriors all around the territories he has influence over in some way.
They wouldn't let them go cheaply. The minimum being a Spiritual Crystal and some even more.
But Samuel felt in the long run it was worth it. After all these are a warrior's lifetime of insights and they have often spent years fighting on the battlefield or practising these same Martial Arts!
The other most costly books came from various institutions like the ones Samuel once sent his children to.
Because they often cater to Mortal Children of Warriors, they have made a few improvements on the workout routines to improve their constitutions a bit.
The researchers purchased 5 books from 3 different institutions but it cost over 700 Spiritual Crystals!
But the overall research done by an institution of learners far exceeds the work done by some rouge and less academically inclined warriors. So it is definitely worth the price.
Currently Samuel was sitting inside of a High Tech room. In Front of him hundreds of holographic screens displayed millions of numbers and details.
Behind the screens, separated by a glass panel two men were moving their bodies to the centre of the room.
Their bodies twisting and turning in the weirdest of ways. But their veins were bulging and their heads sweating. Clearly they were struggling.
On each of their arms they held heavy sandbags that pulled down the muscles and increased the difficulty of the exercise.
Even the two physically fit men were sweating under the weight.
But regardless of this, a dozen scientists looked at the results and shook their heads.
''Although it can be considered a good workout, it isn't even comparable to the best weightlifters regime.''
''Another failure.''
''Next time, what if we alter the position of the weights? Maybe put them on their torso?''
''Perhaps but wouldn't that go against the poses?''
Samuel sat listening to the chatter around him. The researchers looked at the results and continued to write notes.
Already you could see countless binders filled with scraps of paper littered with writing.
As for writing it on a computer? No thanks. The internet is one of the most unreliable things on the Eternal Battlefield, otherwise no one would use ledgers!
The rules of Physics change between each Plane. So technology can only be used depending on whether you are on the right plane.
Therefore all the notes are written on paper and are often double written and hidden to ensure their safety.
Samuel has naturally taken precautions. All the research notes are hidden in a room beside the Tomb of the Dog of War compound and he placed 10 Two Inch Spiritual Root Dogs of War in charge of guarding it.
In the future they will become Rank 2 Warriors and be suitable guards for the position.
After all, he doesn't want anyone else finding his notes. This time of research can definitely be considered the foundation of a Family. It is kept top secret!
Samuel stood up and left the room. While he was returning to his house, his hand flipped slightly and the ring on his finger lit up.
Slowly on his hand a book appeared. It was the exact same book that Leslie found in the Tomb. The Warrior Skill.
'Lady Lover Skill'
Samuel looked at the title and was definitely intrigued.
[Detected A Warrior Skill, does the host wish to add it to the Gallery?]
''Yes!''
