The Coming Prosperous Era
The first three days after arriving on Storm Island.
Humans and the local native Magical Beast Silverback Giant Ape, formed an initial friendship.
This is a great start.
In particular, the Silverback Giant Ape did not have a fondness for eating the Cloud-Swallowing Python, and did not even take its corpse with it, which undoubtedly brought great benefits to Dawn City.
"A total of 33 Cloud-Swallowing Python corpses, one High-Class, 13 mid-level, and the rest are all Low-Class. And they're all big ones. There's enough high-quality equipment to make almost two hundred sets. It's practically free stuff, a huge profit!" William excitedly stroked his chin, and couldn't help but start thinking about whether he should play the bad guy.
Because the hides, Scale, Tooth, claws, and other materials of Magical Beast, if used properly, can easily be used to forge a set of Golden Equipment for an entire Legion...
What's this?
Wow, that's awesome!
Dude.
For any nation's Legion, Gold-Quality set of the same tier is considered top-tier. Even the Empire couldn't afford to mass-produce Dark Gold sets for its Legion; there simply weren't enough of them.
But if he had a Legion of Gold-Quality equipment, plus Professional with high-level bloodlines or above, he would be invincible in the Southeastern Corner...
For example, could it trigger Magical Beast frenzy across the entire island?
And then take the opportunity to get some benefits?
"Putting everything else aside, if I could instigate a war between two Magical Beast tribes and then use my Space Ring to plunder the corpses one by one, I'd be rolling in money!"
Storm Island is so rich in resources, plus those rare mineral veins. If we could take most of it, no... even just one-tenth.
"Even when facing the Dark Invasion, the Dawn City can remain safe and sound." Thinking this, William naturally entertained many wicked ideas.
But what about the future?
Consider the relatively slow reproductive rate of these Magical Beast?
William gradually gave up on the idea.
"Sustainable development is the most important thing. If we really do this, the initial profits will be very good, even huge, but the extinction of the Beastfolk will also have many disadvantages!" William pondered for a moment.
The downside is quite simple.
The Beastfolk on Storm Island are in a state of balance.
Once the balance is broken, it will act like a fuse, igniting endless wars among these Beastfolk, territorial disputes, and even extermination wars.
Because everyone wants resources, and some even have the urge to take advantage of your weakness!
Wars like the one between the Silverback Giant Ape and the Cloud-Swallowing Python only occur because there are too many people in the tribe and not enough resources, so someone has to die.
Even the Cloud-Swallowing Python Boss was too lazy to make a move; winning or losing posed little threat to it.
Because the Cloud-Swallowing Python Boss is indeed powerful, as long as it Undying, the entire race will not be completely wiped out, and no one dares to destroy its race.
Both sides especially didn't want others to reap the benefits, after all, they'd all lived so long and were all beasts!
Moreover, if all the Magical Beast are dead, and only a Magical Beast remain, they won't serve as training material in the future.
Furthermore, if too many Magical Beast die, they become unusable. William's Space Ring can't hold much, and all that Magical Beast meat will eventually rot away.
After all, Magical Beast meat is one of the important sources of experience for Professional. If NPCs want to become stronger, in addition to training day and night, they also need to eat a lot of Magical Beast meat, Magic Potion, and so on.
In fact, the continent of Gods is just that interesting. Professional have to rely on all kinds of Heaven and Earth Treasure become stronger and grow.
Those with higher bloodlines have better Talent and can cultivate faster.
Those with lower bloodlines have less Talent and cultivate more slowly.
They level up much more easily than Player, who can level up in no time by completing a quest or defeating a monster.
However, once you reach Advanced Bloodline and your Talent is considered outstanding, you will basically have the same leveling speed as the Player. That's right, this is one of the reasons why Player don't dare to be too arrogant in the later stages.
Especially for Professional at the Grandmaster or above, they often level up faster than Player, provided that they have sufficient resources.
As long as it doesn't fail in the early stages...
The post-production team is really amazing...
Moreover, with the Dark Invasion, the Mana of the entire world has also begun to revive, and it is becoming increasingly concentrated!
This also leads to more people possessing better Talent...
That was the Great Age of Magic.
That was the Golden Prosperous Era of Battle Aura.
This marks the beginning of the Fourth Era.
In this vibrant and colorful era, the Chosen Ones seem numerous, yet they do not shine as brightly as countless genius Professional.
Furthermore, the enemies Player face later in the game are far more than just the minor enemies in the Southeastern Corner corner...
They will then venture deep into the Legendary Continent, the Endless Seas, and even the Dark World...
When various wars break out.
When the intense Mana spread throughout the entire continent.
Empires, Kingdom, and Grand Duchy that have existed for thousands of years have also entered an era of rapid military training.
That moment.
All races are striving for the future.
That moment.
The throne of the Fourth Era is not clearly defined.
That moment.
The races that once unified the continent all brought out the resources they had stored up to provide to the Professional.
because...
They all want to be the masters of the Fourth Era!
Add to that the enemy's existing military strength, and the Player's life becomes increasingly difficult every day.
It's by no means any simpler than dealing with a wolf in 32 generations...
And William, thinking of this, also felt like crying...
"I thought I was a prince... now I'm practically a dead son, so poor I want to die."
His resources were still insufficient. Dawn City had a good geographical location, with the corpses of Gods beneath its feet and many rare mineral veins, but its foundation was ultimately too weak.
"Sigh, let's take it slow. At least we need to turn Storm Island into our own Back Garden."
He sighed deeply. Resources were gradually becoming plentiful. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs was a method only for powerful individuals. A lord like him could never do such things unless his city fell and his people perished.
Moreover, even so, he is not exactly invincible on Storm Island now.
He had only just reached the High-Class, and without risking his life or having a stroke of European Qi, he would have to run away from many High-Tier Monster!
Because Magical Beast is not Intelligent Races.
They are enormous and have an HP pool.
Although it possesses a fatal position that can deliver a fatal blow, it can also instantly kill itself...
"And there are really too few fools like the Cloud-Swallowing Python..." William glanced at the many corpses of the Cloud-Swallowing Python. Some of the Ranger were skillfully skinning and dismembering them, prying off their huge Scale piece by piece, and pulling out their thick, long, and sharp Tooth.
The blood was placed into an empty wine barrel, and then sealed by Mage.
These valuable materials will be taken back to the territory by the Dawnship, where they will be handed over to the Dwarf Blacksmith to forge high-quality armor and weapons. At the same time, the next Legion will be brought here.
Without a doubt.
A mere 3,000 men won't play a crucial role here; Storm Island needs at least two Legion to establish a foothold.
at the same time.
The Spatial Grand Mage, Old Bander, will also be here.
He had already completed building the Portal in Dawn City, and now he needed to build Portal here.
"But the cost of building the Portal is too high..." William felt a pang of heartache, even though he had never stopped trading with the new Blue Moon Town.
However, the materials used for the portal were too precious. Even though not all Elf disliked this half-blood prince, they wouldn't lower the price for him in such a transaction; it was so expensive it was almost unbelievable.
"500,000 Gold Coin! If I hadn't cheated and swindled, stealing... and taking everything from the Steel Duchy's National Treasury, where would I have gotten 500,000 Gold Coin...?"
At the beginning of the month, I'll dig around and throw in a couple of Monthly Ticket or something. In about half a month, my family's shop will be almost done with its business.
I've been so busy lately... delivering goods all day... I've even been too lazy to chat in the group.
