When the Sleeping Beauty Castle projection landed, Gu Xi and Luna came here specifically to evaluate the deal.

In their eyes, agreeing to Sleeping Beauty's request this time was a worthwhile deal.

All they had to do was leave a mark of Sleeping Beauty within their territory.

What they received, however, was a powerful castle and a self-sustaining Satellite City.

The area encompasses not only the Sleeping Beauty Castle but also the surrounding thorn forest.

This takes up a huge area.

Although the Thorn Forest is just starting out, it already covers an area of over a thousand acres, or more than 60,000 square meters.

The forest was full of thorns of all sizes, and no one could pass through it unless the castle's owner came in person.

As part of the castle, the forest can also be deployed Gu Xi with the castle to the battlefield.

This situation is equivalent to Gu Xi dragging the battlefield onto his own Home Field.

That alone was enough for Gu Xi to make a decision.

Not to mention that the Thorn Forest is still expanding, and soon it will become a barrier in the direction of Aryadovi City.

As for the towns on the outskirts of the forest, they are also managed towns.

Gu Xi didn't need to consider anything about this town, such as how many plots of land it had, whether there were suitable Building Blueprint, or the origin of its population.

All Gu Xi needs to do is set the direction for development.

After discussing with Luna, Gu Xi finally decided that the town, which had not yet begun development, would exist as the first resource town under the Aryadovi City.

After all, this place is backed by the Thorn Forest, and cutting down some timber would be enough to sustain the Aryadovi City.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi and Luna also discovered something.

The Thorn Forest blocked the influence of the Blood Maple Tree, Gu Xi some non-undead minions to stop transforming into undead within the Thorn Forest.

This gave Gu Xi a way out.

He quickly brought over all the Minotaur, Pegasus Cavalry, and Cyclops he had obtained from the Bonfire.

Although they are few in number, they can be quite useful at times.

At least the thorn forest left some different seeds for Gu Xi's troops.

Aside from Sleeping Beauty Castle, Gu Xi spent the last three days mainly focusing on the newly built Core Building.

The Frost Magic Tower, the Cryo-Storage, and the Frost Armory are the key areas that Gu Xi has been focusing on recently.

The reason it took so long is because of the choice of location for the new Magic Tower.

There are also various additional buildings.

Gu Xi and Luna put in a lot of effort to carve out a space in the Upper District to build the Frost Magic Tower.

As for other buildings, like libraries, there's simply no room to squeeze in, so we just have to leave it as it is.

Of course, after the Frost Magic Tower was built, it was also affected by various linked buildings.

The Bone Magic Tower's synergy effect grants +1 spell power; the Fairy Tale Library's synergy effect grants +1 spell power; and the School Library's synergy effect grants +1 spell power.

With this series of effects, the number of spells that can be researched on the first floor of the Frost Magic Tower has increased from the original 4 to the current 7.

One of the core player-learnable skills is: [Destruction Magic: Allows players to learn advanced Destruction Magic and enhance its effects.]

It also comes with an additional skill: [Frost Master].

Players and Hero can learn three spells.

[Ice Blade: Consumes 30 mana to add a cold attribute effect to a designated weapon (maximum of 1000 weapons). Upon successful enchantment, the weapon gains a +3 cold attack effect for 24 hours.]

[Midwinter Ring: Consumes 10 mana to release a ring of ice at a designated location, dealing damage equal to Intelligence * 30 and having a radius of 20 meters equal to Perception.]

[Deep Freeze: Consumes 5 mana to freeze one enemy. The enemy cannot move, but your team cannot attack the enemy either.]

Magic Unit can learn three spells.

[Ice Cone Spell], [Ice Storm], [Ice Ring].

These spells are somewhat different from those in the Magic Tower.

Because all of them are ice-based spells, their power is somewhat biased, and some Skeleton Mage cannot learn them all. It takes two or three Skeleton Mage working together to use them effectively.

Most importantly, at this moment, Gu Xi discovered that the Skeleton Mage's initial basic spells also played a certain role.

Skeleton Mage, who were the first to master Ice Arrow, learned these three spells the fastest.

Next are the Skeleton Mage who wield Poison Gas Bomb. Those Skeleton Mage who wield fireball and Lightning Arrow spells simply cannot learn these three spells.

As for the Lich, they could learn it, but the two types of Lich under Gu Xi's command, when casting these three spells, were not as effective as the Skeleton Mage working together.

At this point, Gu Xi realized that these spells also had limitations in terms of direction; if one did not reach that level, one could not learn them well even if one wanted to.

So Gu Xi stopped making things difficult for the Lich. He simply summoned all the Skeleton Mage were skilled in using Ice Arrow and had them learn them in preparation for forming an ice magic army in the future.

Apart from that matter, Gu Xi spent all his remaining time on the Frost Armory.

After the Frost Armory was completed, Gu Xi ordered the Blacksmith Shop to work overtime to forge various weapons and sent some of the weapons from the Barracks to the Frost Armory.

Weapons can only be upgraded once the required number of weapons in the arsenal has been reached.

Even with Gu Xi's diligent efforts, the armory still did not meet the requirements for upgrading.

According to Gu Xi's estimate, it will probably take another two to three days to upgrade the armory to level 2.

Gu Xi couldn't wait any longer.

He told Luna directly that after the armory was upgraded, the corpses and Essence of Blood brought back from the Mysterious Academy should be sent to the Blood Temple.

Using the power of the Blood Temple, they were all transformed into Bloody Knight.

Prioritize upgrading the main Magic Tower and the Ghost Electric Tower.

After completing the upgrade, directly construct the Netherblue Temple.

As for the others, Gu Xi did not make any mandatory requirements.

It was precisely for this reason that Gu Xi's idea of having the blacksmith help upgrade the Cold Wind Staff failed.

As for upgrading the Cold Wind Staff with Ice Crystal, Gu Xi hesitated.

After all, his Cold Wind Staff has the potential to be upgraded to Purple Quality, unlike the Champion Ring, which is just a blue piece of junk.

As a result, Gu Xi's upgrade of the Cold Wind Staff was delayed in the end. Even when Gu Xi set off for the New World, his staff was still of Blue Quality.
