Chapter 1007 - 566: Zong Ze’s Current Situation, The Origin of the Chaos

Instead of thinking about buying from the Lords, it might be better to consider obtaining magic gemstones from the Indigenous People.

After all, the current Lords are quite poor.

Even if they occasionally gain some magic gemstones from exploration, the quantity won’t be significant.

As such, the prices for those magic gemstones currently listed in the [Market] are not cheap, and both the types and quantities are limited. This situation will only change gradually as the Lords’ power continues to grow.

At least for now, the gem prices in the [Market] are indeed absurd.

Speaking of which, the two brothers are astonishingly consistent in their extravagance.

Older brother Zong Shen can be extravagant enough to use a High Tier Ice Magic Gemstone to attack the Flame Demon Boss.

The younger, Zong Ze, is slightly more pragmatic, choosing to use Arcane Magic Gemstones to accelerate meditation cultivation.

If other Lords knew about their actions, it would definitely cause a sensation!

Because magic gemstones are extremely valuable among the Lords!

Zong Shen recently sold some mid to low-tier magic gemstones.

Earlier, he acquired quite a few [Market] buildings from those unclaimed territories.

They can be used to hang magic gemstones for sale.

However, currently, the Lords don’t actually have a great demand for magic gemstones.

After all, these magic gemstones are used for forging related magic equipment or constructing magic arrays.

Most Lords haven’t reached the point where they can use them.

But the high single-item profit of selling gemstones can’t be resisted.

So the overall revenue is still considerable.

However, in terms of sales volume, selling magic gemstones is not as easy as selling ore resources.

In any case, these two brothers are extravagantly outrageous.

Under the forest canopy at night.

Occasionally, the loud roars of beasts would echo from the distant mountains and forests.

Many nocturnal predators always hunt at night.

The wilderness has never been the exclusive domain of humans.

These predators and magical beasts are also part of the wilderness.

Zong Ze, with his eyes still tightly closed, maintained a calm expression as he continued his meditation and cultivation.

This tranquility came from his confidence in his own territory’s defense capabilities.

Every night, among the nearby mountain paths and within the territory, strong Orc Warriors, Mountain Giant Troll Pitchers, and goblin drivers operating various magic energy mechas were responsible for patrols.

In addition, there are forty to fifty [Armored Arrow Towers] covered in spiky metal plate armor, as well as some special high-tier defense towers within the territory.

All of these contribute to the territory’s high-level defense capability.

Zong Ze and Zong Shen are both passionate about tower defense.

They managed to turn the Lord’s survival and development into a game of tower defense.

Zong Ze’s breathing became ever more steady, as calm as the night.

As the night deepened, the territory grew quieter.

Only the sound of patrolling warriors’ footsteps gently echoed.

...

At this moment.

Far away in Cold Crow Valley located on the northern icefield border of the continent.

This area is one of the two Giant City-level jurisdictions under the control of the Calamity Raven Church.

Raven Saintess Shafuri is currently stationed in Cold Crow Valley.

The previous operation at Odu Village, the Church failed to complete its mission as expected.

A large number of church followers, deacons, elders, and warriors of the Cold Crow Apostle Corps were lost.

The Church expended significant effort excavating the Burial Ground, attempting to obtain the remnant soul left by the Fear Demon King Bananazar.

Unfortunately, it fell just one step short in the end.

Odu Village was taken over in advance by the Lentax Giant City Expedition Army.

The resources and half a month of careful planning spent in building the Tower of the Raven and excavating the ruins were utterly wasted.

The three church elders who ventured into the Burial Ground ruins were nowhere to be found.

This was undoubtedly a very unsuccessful operation!

Though preparations were made for failure when the action began.

After all, Odu Village is on the Avalon Kingdom’s turf.

The risks within it are self-evident.

That’s why meticulous preparation and calculations were necessary.

Although the operation failed, the Lentax Giant City Expedition Army fared no better either.

Those guys were almost wiped out completely.

Dozens of the Tier Four Dragon Descendant Knights brought by Kunyel were also killed or wounded.

Yet the greater losses were on the side of the Calamity Raven Church.

Besides losing many followers and warriors, an enormous amount of resources were also wasted.

The most crucial point is that the Church’s planning did not succeed.

They could not use the remnant soul to sacrifice for a new Raven Spirit.

This had a significant impact on the Church’s subsequent development.

Including its territorial strategies against Avalon, the Calamity Raven Church fell into passivity.

Fortunately, Under the Pope’s Crown showed exceptional leniency towards the Saintess Shafuri, who was in charge of the Odu Village operation, instead of blaming her extensively, he even assigned a new task for Shafuri to execute.

This time, the task also relates to Lentax Giant City.

While the main base of the Calamity Raven Church is situated in the Northern Territory, they aim to extend the Church’s reach to the Eastern Continent.

Especially towards Lentax Giant City, there’s an opportunity within the Burial Ground to acquire a substantial amount of demon remnant souls as well as the souls of mighty warriors who perished during the Era war, aiding the Calamity Raven Church in sacrificing for a Raven Spirit.

Moreover, the most critical situation leading to the Calamity Raven Church’s persistence regarding the Avalon Kingdom is the internal crisis within the Avalon Royal Family.

The current King of Avalon, Guse Pendragon, has grown old.

Originally, he could have lived even longer, but unfortunately, his Dragon Vein Baptism failed back then.

Every Avalon King undergoes the Dragon Vein Baptism.

By using the Red Dragon Essence Blood of an ancient dragon or above to bathe themselves.

The Red Dragon Blood is domineering and fiery, containing boundless strength.

For the Avalon Kingdom, acquiring dragon blood that meets the requirements is not difficult.

However, the baptism is not something that can be successfully completed with a 100% guarantee; it can only be performed once in a lifetime.

It requires extensive preparation to ensure the failure does not result in death!

Once baptized successfully, the lifespan would reach the Ancient Dragon Level, having no problem living for five to six hundred years!
