The Devious Prince

Storm Island is large.

William is very familiar with this place, so as long as he doesn't do anything reckless and doesn't go looking for High-Tier Monster to fight one-on-one, there's no danger.

Five hours later.

William returned to the camp, which had been expanded three times over.

Player like Chu Liuqiu and Little Ayin were even more enthusiastic Lotner. Before the other soldiers could even approach, they immediately surrounded the Prince and greeted him. Their purpose was obvious: the mission!

But there are no quests on Storm Island.

The Player came here initially for resources!

The Player ' current strength is still insufficient to play a significant role, so after a moment's thought, William assigned them the task of planning the map and sent them on their way!

Looking at the quest he had already obtained, Eternal Solitude couldn't help but swallow hard. "A complete map of Storm Island?"

"The maximum experience is 120,000. The more detailed and extensive the map you create, the more experience you'll gain." Changli Jiugu pondered for a moment. This kind of mission requires teamwork.

Otherwise, you might get eaten by Magical Beast before you've even walked two kilometers.

"The Portal is already half-built?" William walked curiously to Old Bander's side and looked at the 10-meter-tall and 6-meter-wide Portal.

"The materials were all brought from Dawn City, and some tools have also been prepared, so the manufacturing difficulty is not high. The key is that it is too expensive." Old Bander nodded to him.

As Grand Mage Spatial Element magic, he primarily follows the commands of Little Princess Annie and doesn't usually pay much attention to the wars, harvests, or commerce of Dawn City.

However, he was still aware of the value of these two Spatial Gate.

The energy consumption after the Spatial Gate was built was enormous, like a money-devouring beast.

On average, every three thousand people passing through consumes one Mana Crystal. The larger the crystal, the more energy it consumes. In other words, each person passing through consumes one Gold Coin. How many lords can afford to consume that many crystals?

William saw that Old Bander seemed to want to say something, but he didn't care. After all, Dawn City wasn't the only place with Mana Crystal Vein!

"This place has it too, and the veins are even larger and have more minerals. Otherwise, why would I dare to build Spatial Gate?"

Lotner suddenly approached, smiling, and asked, "How much do you intend to charge, sir?"

William pondered for a moment and then said, "The one-way toll is 3 Gold Coin. It doesn't need to be too high. The main purpose of the Portal in the early stages is to transport resources. Except for missions, no one else is allowed to pass through the Portal."

"But the Chosen Ones are currently too weak, so only 500 people are allowed per day, and they can only return after seven days!"

"..." Some Player couldn't help but complain when they heard 3 Gold Coin, thinking, "Isn't that a bit much?"

But if you think about it, you'll understand. Storm Island is a high-level map, and the current Player are still at the Low-Class, let alone the intermediate level. Only after reaching the intermediate level will the benefits of Storm Island be gradually discovered.

Everyone understands that the materials used to build Spatial Gate are extremely expensive, because even the current Blackrock Duchy has no intention of building one, which shows just how rare Spatial Gate is!

In addition, the Spatial Gate the passageway seems to consume some energy, which is why the toll is 3 Gold Coin.

The 7-day stay limit has also deterred many low-income individuals from coming for sightseeing!

"Your Highness, when will we be able to sail? The Portal are too expensive, can we afford to take a boat ride for free?" a Player suddenly asked.

They came for free on the Dawnship train...

Could it be that boat rides will be free in the future?

William raised an eyebrow. Free?

He looked up at the sun overhead. "Dreaming in broad daylight?"

"Once the Dawnship has some free time, it will make a round trip every seven days, costing 1 Gold Coin each time!" William replied, "It's impossible for it to be free!"

The reason why the Portal is expensive is that he wants to recoup the cost of building the Portal from the Player!

The Dawnship doesn't consume many resources while sailing because it doesn't use magic power except when traversing Storm Circle; it usually operates on Sail...

In short.

If you want to make money, first create something that other factions don't have!

If you want to make money, you have to learn to spend money first.

The Portal can be built quite quickly.

Old Bander had experience building Portal, such as the small Portal in Little Princess Annie's bedroom.

One day later.

The Portal is now fully constructed.

This area has now become Forbidden Land, Player have been driven away.

Old Bander carefully took out 88 Mana Crystal and placed them in some grooves. As he cast a series of Space Magic, Magic Formation was instantly formed!

Buzz!!!

Intense spatial fluctuations spread in all directions!

at the same time.

Inside a hall within Dawn City, the Portal also resonated!

moment.

A special stone pillar forms a portal on the right, and a light curtain resembling flowing water suddenly appears in the middle.

"It's done." Old Bander took out 10 more Mana Crystal and placed them in the energy replenishment slot.

He slowly said, "My lord, those 88 Mana Crystal are the key to connecting the teleportation array. We must not let anyone destroy them. They are all buried underground and will not be seen by anyone. I have also cast Barrier Magic so that they will not be easily destroyed."

The 88 Mana Crystal also form an array that, when not in use, can absorb magic energy from the air to replenish itself. As long as it isn't destroyed, it can be used for a very long time."

"As for those 10 Crystal, they are consumed when traveling through the spatial portal. When those Mana Crystal completely lose their light, they must be replaced, otherwise people will be forever lost in the Spatial Tunnel..."

After hearing the explanation, William patted him on the shoulder to reassure him. If he didn't even understand this, wouldn't he be a fool?

But!

Even though the Spatial Gate has already been built.

He wasn't interested in being the first to try it.

William immediately issued a mission, Changli Jiugu rushed into the Spatial Gate without hesitation...

"..." Old Bander stared in disbelief. The Chosen Ones were truly formidable. Luckily, the Portal only connected to Dawn City, otherwise...

Less than three minutes.

Changli Jiugu has returned here once again from the Water Curtain!

A group of Player saw him collapse to the ground instantly, his head spinning...

"How does it feel?" Chu Liuqiu helped him up and asked curiously.

Changli Jiugu sniffed, drooling slightly, and slowly said, "Have you ever seen a spaceship take off?"

"Enough with the nonsense." Little Ayin's gaze was unfriendly.

"The astronauts are all inside the spacecraft, and I'm sitting outside...!"

"Ugh!" Changli Jiugu's Status Panel was filled with Negative Buff, and she lay down and vomited violently.

Upon hearing this, Player couldn't help but sigh, "How true!"

William and Old Bander exchanged a glance, then chose not to explain.

The spatial channel is not yet stable.

If you rush in headlong and then rush back, you're lucky if you're still alive...

"Now that the space has stabilized, I'll take charge of transporting those Magical Beast back to Dawn City." William wouldn't allow anyone to carry the Magical Beast through the space passage for transport; that would consume far more resources, so it's better not to try.

So he walked straight into the light curtain.

Moment!

It felt like I was riding a rocket, traveling through a twisted purple tunnel!

5 seconds later!

The light screen in the Dawn City Portal hall flickered, and he stepped out!

Upon seeing the City Lord return, the two guards watching the Portal immediately bowed in respect.

William waved his hand dismissively and walked out. Once he was outside the teleportation hall, he couldn't help but lean against the doorframe and take a deep breath...

"The newly established Portal has a really strong aftereffect..." The Prince felt dizzy and saw stars. He suspected that Old Bander had cut corners.

But when he was still Player, the Portal he used to travel through had been established long ago, and these side effects were long gone.

Spatial Tunnel become more stable the longer they are built!

The newly opened Spatial Tunnel will definitely have many side effects, but that's what prevents people from dying.

"My lord, you're finally back!" Odom said with a beaming smile, rubbing his hands together excitedly.

William glanced at him. "Here you go, just one Swampflower. If you can't break through, you'll have to bear it!"

After receiving the purple Swampflower, Odom sensed the abundant and pure Mana within it. Overjoyed, he waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Don't worry, my lord. I've been close to the High-Class for a long time, and my breakthrough is imminent. With this flower, I'm very confident."

Has anything unexpected happened near the territory recently?

Odom, with his blond, wavy hair, carrying a hammer, glanced around a few times before cautiously saying, "The Blackrock Duchy is developing rapidly under His Your Highness's leadership. A third of Black Rock's National Treasury has already been depleted, and the ' Second Prince ' has begun to settle scores with the Nobles who once opposed him, continuing to develop his military by confiscating their property."

"What was the reaction of the Nobles of the Blackrock Duchy?" William was very curious about this matter. The current King of Black Rock was his subordinate, and it was William who had asked him to do this.

Odom placed the Swampflower into the box before saying, "There are some dissenting voices, but they won't cause too much of a stir, because the ' Second Prince's' goal is revenge, which is very different from ' Free Will '."

Canada, the Blackrock Duchy Legion fewer than 11 legions left. It recovered to 18 Legion after the war, but at least 10 of the Legion belonged to the current ' Second Prince,' so the others dared not act rashly."

"That's good, let him continue to develop!" William nodded. He secretly controlled two forces, which seemed to be at odds, but so far no war had broken out between them.

Its purpose is merely to impress others, such as those Player who fight tooth and nail on the grasslands, desperately trying to capture the flag...

"But..."

"But what?"

"Altai in the east is not very peaceful. There is a Mithril Vein in his territory, and he launches wars from time to time. Whether it is the former Dragon Clan or the Orichalcum Camp, they are all targets of his attacks. It gives people the feeling that he is training his troops!"

William, seeing Odom's doubts, stroked his chin and said, "Don't worry, we'll train too. I brought back several thousand kilograms of Magic Metal, all of which has been purified, as well as the corpses of over 400 Magical Beast and more than 30,000 Mana Crystal, to comprehensively enhance the strength of the Legion."

"When I have the time, I'll kill him!"

When Odom heard about the thousands of kilograms of Magic Metal, the corpses of over 400 Magical Beast, and the Crystal, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets...

His Prince ignored whether he had heard him or not. In truth, he really didn't want to kill Altai. Having such an enemy in the East could bring Player many quests and put pressure on the Winged Folk!

even.

It could slightly improve Altai's strength...

That's right!

That's what we'll do!

After all, the Winged Folk doesn't love men who aren't a little bad...
