Chapter 644: Chapter 644
"No problem, let’s get started now." In fact, Du You wanted to authenticate last time, but he had run out of red crystal coins. This time, he brought an enormous amount of all three types of crystal coins.
Of course, because he had too many white crystal coins, Du You only brought a part of them.
In the development of a territory, crystal coins can be converted into each other, with the energy compared at a hundred-fold ratio, without any waste. This was only possible within the territory where the crystal coins were used internally. Other aspects did not have this kind of treatment.
After the authentication, the seal magic ball changed, and its red glow became brighter and more gentle.
Seal Magic Ball: Energy consumption can reduce magic power seal. (1/10)
Each activation consumes self-stored energy, and the recovery can be sped up with crystal coins. Within the territory control range, after activation, the magic effect is eliminated within three seconds, the magic power fluctuation is stabilized, and magic skills are sealed. The control level is on par with the territory level.
This means that in the future, as long as he is within his territorial boundaries, directly activating the seal magic ball will completely nullify all second-tier and below magic. Magic beyond the second tier will continue to weaken.
Within this range, it is impossible to gather elemental power for casting. Even if he was a spellcaster like himself, his magic would also be in a sealed state unless his magic level far exceeded the sealing level.
Once the territory level is raised, the sealing effect will also be enhanced. This is the unique aspect of the territory equipment.
Du You looked at his panel, thought about it, and then left the blueprint of the Lord’s Mansion.
"You take charge of building the Lord’s Mansion next, and we need to add other things as well. We have a lot more people in our territory now, it’s not easy to feed them all, let’s increase the number of buildings."
Unlike houses and arrow towers, these can be increased indefinitely in quantity, because the blueprints are permanent.
Other things couldn’t be done in this way. Du You thought about it and said, "Increase the number of farms to 20, and food processing plants to 10, should that be enough?"
"Definitely enough. It can even be considered as a surplus. But our territory is bound to continue expanding in the future, there’s nothing wrong with getting things ready in advance." Shaliya was even more enthusiastic about the construction development of the territory than Du You.
"If that’s the case, I’ll leave the rest to you." Du You then continued to discuss some situations about the future development of the territory with Shaliya. There were also many details to understand. The territory couldn’t be completely handed over to Shaliya, Du You needed to know what was going on; and Shaliya wouldn’t know everything about his development situation and needs.
The two of them discussed until evening before they stopped.
After a night’s rest, Du You flew in the direction of South Mountain City with his two sisters the next day.
That’s right, just the three of them. He didn’t bring any bodyguards or accompanying personnel. Du You can be said to be bold with his high skills, but also needed to save time. If he brought a lot of people like other lords, it would be too time-consuming.
He could fly there himself, the round trip would only take one day. But if he brought people along, it could delay the round trip to nearly a month or even longer. The ceremonial procession is not the same as a real army.
By almost noon, Du You and the others arrived at South Mountain City. From a distance, Du You saw the city under construction. Du You knew this place well, this was near Qingji City where he had been before.
In the more southern part of Qingji City, which was almost on the edge of the Goblin forest, a new city was being built. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
The vast scope of the city directly included Qingji City. Thus, Qingji City ceased to exist. The original inhabitants were directly annexed without knowing what had become of the city lord at the time.
The city was under construction everywhere. These workers were different from the craftsmen in his territory. Without the help provided by the territory, they could only build bit by bit, and the construction speed was very slow.
To resist the unrest in the south, many earth attribute mages also joined the construction to speed things up. When Du You arrived, the most important city wall and the city lord’s mansion were already built. But the construction of other buildings was still slow. Clearly, it wasn’t easy to command those mages.
On the other hand, the military here was exceptional. As soon as Du You arrived, a group of Pegasus Knights flew over. Yes, Pegasus Knights, who formed the main part of the Divine Flame Empire’s air force.
But the people here were very strong. Du You could see that the two leading the group were both third tier.
"Who are you? Do not approach South Mountain City if there’s no business." The person who came had a very tough attitude.
Du You took out his badge and said, "I am the Lord of the Mountains territory, specifically here to meet the city master of South Mountain City. I was held up by something a while ago and just returned."
While speaking, Du You released his aura. The other party’s face, which was originally casual, turned serious.
These third-tier masters, they didn’t pay much attention to the lords of border territories. These lords were not strong enough in terms of both strength and influence, and could only provide them with some convenience in terms of numbers.
As long as they were willing, any of them could sweep across such territories. So when they dealt with border territories, they were always careless, not taking them seriously. These rural lords, although they had the status of a lord, were in fact not much different from ordinary people. But the one in front of them was different.
This lord was himself of the third tier, and not weak at all. Besides, the two women with him were also third-tier. They couldn’t neglect that the third-tier strength was now a significant fighting force in South Mountain City.
The rear third-tier army was still being formed and had not arrived yet. South Mountain City’s current forces were indeed stretched thin.
"Lord, please follow me." After confirming the identity, the other party made a gesture of invitation.
It seemed that showing his strength was useful. At the very least, the word "please" was now included. But the address used by the other party didn’t have any honorifics, it seemed that the other party still looked down at him. The people within the Divine Flame Empire were indeed too proud at times.
However, that was normal, considering the strong power they had within. The south of the empire was either a desert or sea; powerful warriors didn’t pay much attention to it, this area had always been the weakest part of the empire, and you could say it was a wasteland for the powerful.
If the Kingdom of Hanhai hadn’t risen suddenly, threatening the southern part of the empire, the empire would not have looked at the place seriously. Du You didn’t say anything, and he followed these people to land in South Mountain City, which looked like a construction site. The news of Du You’s arrival had already been reported in.
