Changes in the Council Hall

"You came at the right time. I have an idea about this city too."

When Gu Xi saw Luna come in, he also wanted to tell her about his plans for Aryadovi City.

Hearing Gu Xi say that, Luna smiled happily as well.

After gaining partial control of Aryadovi City, Gu Xi felt that Luna had changed completely. She still looked like a ghost, but the oppressive gloom that had once surrounded her was gone.

Her entire ghostly form seemed more lively and vivid.

"Then you go first, sir."

"Luna, this is what I'm thinking. One-third of Aryadovi is now considered our city. We may not have enough strength yet, but we have time.

"Look, let's first build the City Wall and City Gate. Once our forces are sufficient, we can take the remaining two-thirds of the city.

"I can't keep an eye on all of this forever. When the time comes, you'll have to handle the arrangements within Aryadovi City."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Luna spoke up as well.

"Sir, that was what I wanted to say too. We still haven't fully absorbed the territory we've taken. Dispatching troops again would be somewhat dangerous. I was also thinking that we should first construct small buildings such as the City Wall and City Gate.

"Once we have enough troops, we can strike again and take the other areas of Aryadovi City."

"Haha, it seems we were thinking alike."

Gu Xi was increasingly pleased with Luna.

At that moment, Luna added something else.

"By the way, sir, we can do this with Aryadovi City because we have already taken root here. But other places are different. In Victoria City, you need to establish an Anchor Point."

Hearing Luna say that, Gu Xi paused.

"What is different about Victoria City?"

"Sir, do you remember those people who were used as sacrifices, as well as the cultists who were preparing to perform a Blood Sacrifice for you?"

Gu Xi nodded firmly.

"I remember. They're the ones who knocked me out with a Blunt Strike. If I hadn't entered Aryadovi City, I would definitely have uprooted every last one of them."

"Sir, when I took control of this part of Aryadovi City, I saw some things within the city and learned about some of the changes Aryadovi is currently undergoing.

"Because of the cultists' Blood Sacrifice, that powerful figure sent into Aryadovi City did not die.

"What died was this Aryadovi City of less than three Square Kilometers."

Luna's explanation was somewhat vague, and Gu Xi did not understand it right away.

"Wait a moment. What is the issue here?"

"Yes. In the beginning, the city that was mirrored was only these three Square Kilometers of Aryadovi City.

"The Britain Royal Family originally intended to exile and trap that powerful figure to death.

"But who would have thought that he would have such a group of cultists under him? Whether it was for power or something else, they spread word of the Mirror Dungeon.

"That allowed the concept of the Mirror Dungeon to spread. That alone would have been fine.

"But the Britain Royal Family has constantly suffered incidents over the years, and their deaths lent an air of mystery to the legend of the Mirror Dungeon.

"And the cultists' Blood Sacrifice provided the Mirror Dungeon with the energy it needed.

"So, over the years, this space has actually been repeatedly copying Victoria City."

At this point, Luna sighed. "Sir, you may not understand why our three Square Kilometers of Aryadovi City became a Dead City.

"That is because the place corresponding to Aryadovi's Old District no longer bears any trace of its former self. The New District has appeared, and the abandoned Old District naturally died."

After hearing Luna's explanation, Gu Xi understood the situation.

At the same time, he understood Luna's thoughts.

"You mean that if I only want this three-square-kilometer stretch of land, then there would be no problem returning now. But if I want a city as large as Victoria City, I must establish an Anchor Point in the Real World.

"Then fight from the Real World into the new Aryadovi District?"

"Yes. In the scenes I saw, this city underwent six transformations in total. No matter which transformation we can take, it will be larger than the city before us."

Hearing this, Gu Xi's eyes shifted. "Alright, I know what to do. Once I settle the matters in Aryadovi City, I'll immediately go to Victoria City and establish an Anchor Point."

Seeing Gu Xi agree, Luna said nothing more. She merely nodded firmly, then followed behind Gu Xi and began explaining the newly transformed Council Hall.

Although it had become a functional building, the structure of the two-story Small Building had not fundamentally changed.

However, some of its functions had changed. The dining room just inside the entrance on the First Floor had now become the Council Hall. A map of Aryadovi City was placed here, and if Gu Xi needed anything, he could mobilize troops through the map.

At the same time, Gu Xi could use the map to learn all kinds of information about Aryadovi and its surroundings.

The kitchen that had originally been on the left was now gone. This area had become a place for designing and storing building blueprints. If they wanted to construct any buildings in Aryadovi City, the blueprints had to be produced here.

On the right was the staircase leading to the Second Floor. Beneath it stood an antique display shelf, completely empty, but Gu Xi understood that it was actually meant for storing some of his Spoils of War.

Of course, if Gu Xi did not make Aryadovi his main city, then it would most likely be used to store Luna's Spoils of War instead.

Going up to the Second Floor, there were three rooms in total.

The room where Luna had previously recovered her memories was the Children's Room. It was now sealed in ice. Only Luna could enter and leave freely; no one else could enter at all.

Besides this room, there was also a Master Bedroom and a Second Bedroom, both suitable for living. Aside from the beds and bedside tables, the Master Bedroom had an extra desk.

Resting here for just two hours would allow Gu Xi to recover all his Life and mana.

In addition, there was a basement beneath the Council Hall, used to store all kinds of documents.

It might not necessarily be needed, but it had to be there.

After taking a tour of the Council Hall and learning about its various functions, Gu Xi left the Council Hall with Luna.

The moment they stepped out of the Council Hall, Gu Xi discovered that the battlefield outside had already been cleaned up.

Since the battle was over, the Undead did not dare use up all the Ghoul Qi Beads on the ground. They distributed them according to the arrangement they had discussed with Gu Xi from the start.

One-third was left for Gu Xi, one-third went to the Battle Squad, and only the final third belonged to the individual Undead.

Seeing the Ghoul Qi Beads piled before the Council Hall entrance, Luna suddenly said, "This can be converted into Negative Energy Points at a one-to-one rate."
