Chapter 227: Chapter 153: Visiting, Profits Soar After System Division
Over Ghost Lake City, two figures slowly flew across the sky.
Looking at the prosperous city below, the harmonious coexistence of different races like golems, humans, vampires, and human-faced lions on the streets, the Traveler couldn’t help but marvel secretly.
For any Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, as long as they plan for several decades, it’s not difficult to control a city-state in the underground world.
Yet, like Sunan, developing a powerful force encompassing three city-states is truly rare.
Not to mention Sunan also has the backing of the Star Alliance.
The more the Traveler interacted with Sunan, the more he felt Sunan’s unfathomable depth.
That’s why he accepted Sunan’s invitation to visit Ghost Lake City.
“Didn’t expect even the human-faced lions and vampires have become your vassals,” the Traveler exclaimed.
Sunan caught the implication in his words and asked in surprise, “Have you been here before?”
The Traveler nodded and said, “I came here once eight years ago, originally intending to sneak inside Ghost Lake City for a look. However, the human-faced lions guarded too strictly, and there were soul-devouring hunters at the gate, so I had to give up. Never thought you’d also conquered Matu and Auson now.”
As he spoke, the Traveler’s gaze swept over the stone golems patrolling the streets below.
Flying from the city gate, he noticed that most of Ghost Lake City’s garrison and patrol forces consisted of various golem puppets.
Among them, there was no lack of legendary-level puppets!
The human-faced lions, vampires, and other slave races accounted for a very small portion.
It’s evident that Sunan conquered Ghost Lake, Matu, and Auson by relying on his powerful Golem Legion.
Night Owl was right; the resources Sunan possesses are truly astonishing.
A regular Level 3 Wizard Apprentice wouldn’t be able to assemble such a large-scale Golem Legion.
What puzzled him even more was that legendary-level puppet materials are extremely hard to find. Just acquiring medium and small-sized soul crystals alone was a stumbling block for many Wizard Apprentices.
Where on earth did Sunan obtain so many medium and small-sized soul crystals to craft legendary-level puppets?
The Traveler was utterly baffled.
At that moment, Sunan suddenly spoke.
“We’ve arrived.”
The two slowly descended to the ground, where Carolina and the Red Widow were already waiting at the palace entrance.
“Master, welcome back.” The two women bowed in unison.
The Traveler observed this and silently praised Sunan.
Sunan was indeed blessed and held great charisma.
Both human-faced lions and vampires are notoriously cunning.
An Apprentice Wizard with little ability couldn’t possibly suppress these two races, let alone incorporate them.
“It’s getting late today, sir. Please rest for a few days, and we can have a good chat later.” Sunan said.
The Traveler followed suit and replied, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Sunan smiled and then instructed Carolina, “Arrange the best room for the Traveler, please.”
“Yes, Master,” Carolina said respectfully, then bowed slightly to the Traveler, “Traveler, please follow me this way.”
After the Traveler left, Sunan entered the palace without looking back and asked:
“How’s the progress on the exploration while I was away?”
The Red Widow followed closely behind Sunan, smiling and said, “Thanks to the Master’s foresight, Sherman and Cole joined the exploration, along with the Knight Guard. Their assistance has accelerated the exploration progress significantly.”
“To the east of the Star Alliance, the swamps have been cleared of Underground Toad Monsters and Slimes. The exploration team is now venturing further in.”
“The northern situation has been clarified as well. There are four Eye Demon Tribes within a fifty-kilometer radius; we’ve already wiped out two and will soon deal with the remaining two.”
“The iron ore vein discovered in the west has been officially developed. Besides, the exploration team found two new veins: a medium-sized copper mine and a small tungsten mine. We’re currently clearing nearby monsters, and mining is expected to start in a month.”
Sunan nodded in satisfaction.
Judging from the Red Widow’s tone, the recently established Knight Guard seemed to be performing well.
But this was to be expected, considering the Knight Guard’s equipment far surpassed that of the underground world’s natives.
Not to mention the Magic Pattern Armor, they were also equipped with Demonized Weapons and Demonized Armor.
Additionally, they carried various potions at all times.
Essentially, even a single knight from the Knight Guard could stand against a Grand Knight.
With such a team, led by Sherman and Cole, they feared nothing unless stumbling upon a legendary-level creature.
Even if they did encounter a legendary-level creature, with rune gemstones in hand, escape wouldn’t be difficult.
Seeing Sunan’s satisfaction, the Red Widow was delighted and smiled sweetly: “Moreover, Master, just five days ago, I personally led a group to annihilate the Minotaur Tribe to the south. Their gold mine is now in our Star Alliance’s possession.”
“It’s a medium-sized gold mine, estimated to bring over three hundred thousand gold coins in profit!”
“Not bad,” Sunan’s smile deepened.
With a medium-sized gold mine, thanks to the efficient mining of Clay Golems, he wouldn’t have to worry about funding for at least the next half year.
He could stockpile more Magic Refined Gold, and craft more Refined Gold Golems.
Having slain the Magic Hand and Bloodmouth, along with Ugo, the Eternal Life Association now had three members dead by his hand.
Although they might not know that Magic Hand and Bloodmouth were killed by him, if they discovered it, the Eternal Life Association would definitely be at odds with him, regardless of their loose organizational structure.
It’s better to be prepared than caught off guard; he must prepare early and accumulate more power.
