A New Spatial Tunnel

After leaving the Divination Shop, William went to the Blacksmith Workshop in the basement.

Seeing that his High-Class equipment was still being crafted, he stopped thinking about it.

Crafting Epic- quality equipment is very slow; the higher the quality, the slower the crafting speed.

Of course, it won't last for several months; six or seven days will suffice.

He came to the Underground Passage not simply to visit the Blacksmith Workshop, but to inspect the defensive works.

Legolas hadn't had time to train the Legion lately, instead acting as a military supervisor in the dark Underground Passage. When he saw William arrive, he walked over and saluted with his right hand on his chest.

The Underground Passage of Dawn City are extremely complex and numerous!

Or rather...

Since the city was founded, William has been digging downwards incessantly.

Now it's layered upon layered, densely packed, like an Underground World, or rather, Underground World reinforced by Magic.

in.

He had three objectives.

First, two wide tunnels extending downwards were excavated, and two 20-meter-wide and high Magic city gates were built at the bottom of the cliff, using the cliff face as a foundation!

These two Magic Gate weren't pushed open; they were suspended by chains.

One advantage of this type of door is that as long as it's thick and sturdy enough, it's not afraid of being bumped open, since you can't force it open anyway, and you don't have to worry about anyone being able to lift it up.

Even if someone really smashes both doors...

William was prepared; wouldn't blowing up the tunnel solve the problem?

It might even kill one enemy...

Secondly, the 80-meter-high cliff face was not unusable; Legolas organized people to dig arrow slits, spear slits, and cannon slits.

At that time, whether it's Dark Invasion or an attack from other countries, we will face countless arrows!

Climbing up is an option; you might suddenly find a hole a few centimeters wide, and then get pierced through by a long spear.

In addition to the enchanted and reinforced area around the piercing point, the arrow and cannon muzzles are also equipped with Magic windows to effectively block enemy attacks.

Thirdly, there's the large-scale planting of Demon Vine!

"Careful, careful, don't reach over there." An Elf warned immediately when he saw someone foolishly trying to pick up the cultivation tank of the Demon Vine.

Which of the three types of defensive fortifications is the most dangerous?

They must have moved those Demon Vine cultivation tanks to the recesses on the cliff face!

Demon Vine is an interesting plant, available in various levels from high to low.

They are called Demon Vine because the parent plant is a huge, slimy, and disgusting sphere. Normally, the vines would curl up inside the wall, only suddenly extending to pierce the animal and suck its blood when it approached!

This creature lives in the Blackleaf Forest.

It's also a defensive tactic used by the Black Leaf Elf. Although the name isn't appealing, these plants are really powerful...

"50,000 Demon Vine, worth 700,000 Gold Coin, are spread across the walls for 10,000 meters." Legolas swallowed hard; this was a huge expense.

"Don't worry, these plants just consume a lot of resources in the early stages. Once they grow up, they will automatically go into dormancy if they don't have food, and they won't wake up unless there's a smell of blood." William sighed. The price of the Spatial Gate and the Demon Vine had already reached more than 1.2 million.

It must be said that war is a huge drain on resources, but in order to prevent the Dark Creatures from invading Dawn City, no price is too high to pay.

In short, William intends to spend every last one of the millions of Gold Coin he has taken from the Iron Treasury!

Only with the additional resources he acquired from Storm Island and invested, would it be possible to withstand the repeated invasions of the Dark Creatures!

Legolas was quite curious as to why the Lord was building such a large-scale defensive fortification.

However, within the Neutral Lord's camp.

Any money that the lord manages to earn belongs to the lord!

The lord spends money to expand the city, and all the land belongs to the lord. If the lord doesn't want to sell the land, or even builds houses and shops on it, or hires people to sell various goods, all the money earned belongs to the lord!

So, whatever the lord needs to do, the rest of the subordinates just need to listen!

If the lord tells them to speak, then speak; if not, then they should just shut up and obey.

Of course, the key issue is still strength!

A lord must possess absolute power to suppress all dissenting voices.

Just as William finished checking everything and was about to head to Storm Island...

Old Bander suddenly returned to Dawn City.

William saw that Old Bander looked anxious but also somewhat excited, and smiled nonchalantly, "No rush, let's have some Fruit Wine first."

Old Bander looked embarrassed, realizing he wasn't even as composed as the young lord. He pushed his glass aside and said seriously, "I was checking the Portal's stability when I discovered another Spatial Tunnel."

Upon hearing this, William became somewhat uneasy. He coughed a few times and continued, "One-way or two-way?"

"Two-way. When the Spatial Tunnel was discovered, I issued a probe mission. Several Chosen Ones went in, but returned from the same place."

Then, with a slightly cautious tone, Old Bander continued, "That wasn't a man-made Portal, but a naturally formed Spatial Vortex."

Before the Spatial Tunnel is completed, any creature that enters the Spatial Vortex will be randomly teleported away or become lost in the Spatial Tunnel.

But when a Spatial Gate resonates with it and links together, any creature entering the Spatial Vortex will end up on Storm Island, unless I cast a spell to block that passage."

Old Bander's meaning is quite clear.

We discovered an unknown place.

Now it's up to the lord to decide: will he pretend he didn't see it and block that Spatial Tunnel?

Let's venture into that unknown land and take the opportunity to investigate.

Seeing the Lord deep in thought, Old Bander said, "A place that can form Spatial Vortex will definitely have Mana concentration no less than Storm Island. The Magical Beast in that unknown area won't be too weak either, but there will definitely be many resource veins."

"Of course, if you wish to abandon that place, I will close it down now."

"No need for now." William raised an eyebrow. He had never been to this Spatial Tunnel and didn't know where it led for the time being.

Giving up a potentially resource-rich territory for nothing is not something an excellent, top-tier lord should do.

"Come with me to Storm Island now, I want to see it for myself." William was determined to see it for himself, even though that unknown area was likely just a small island at sea that he might not recognize.

But he was a little unwilling to give up without going to scout ahead!

"Well, Spatial Vortex aren't necessarily very stable."

William sat on his lord's throne, arms crossed, tilting his head to look at Old Bander. "Then why are you wasting so much time talking to me?"

But who is Old Bander?

He's Moonlight Elf, a shrewd old man over a hundred years old.

The old man rubbed his hands together and chuckled, saying, "If I had the materials for a Portal, I could go with you, sir. Even if the Spatial Vortex explodes, I can still bring you back!"

"Old teacher is awesome..." William couldn't help but shout in his heart, almost clapping his hands.

This was the first time he had been robbed in his time of need, and he had been robbed without any power to resist...

"I'll pay with Gold Coin. You go to New Blue Moon Town to buy the materials. I'll give you three days." William sighed. He certainly couldn't trouble Moxis with such a small matter.

Old Bander nodded excitedly, but still smiled awkwardly and said, "How could I possibly accept that?"

"Um?"

"Heh, I'll be right back. Three days won't be enough, one day, no, half a day will suffice."

"Here are the Gold Coin, keep them for yourself." William waved his hand, and a mountain of over 200,000 Gold Coin appeared in the hall.

Old Bander waved his hand, and all the Gold Coin vanished. He then nodded to William.

Take a step forward.

Swish.

Space jump.

Very impressive.

Clearly, Old Bander, this unconventional Spatial Grand Mage, was also somewhat curious about that unknown realm.

For Spatial Mage, the value of a naturally formed Spatial Vortex is immeasurable. If one can decipher its mysteries, he may be able to enter the ranks of Spatial Archmage.

So...

How much does a Space Archmage cost?

Is 10 million Gold Coin enough?

That's far from enough.

In Old Bander's eyes, that Spatial Vortex was worth more than a hundred million Gold Coin.

Old Bander didn't know how long the Spatial Vortex would last, but he was determined to go there and explore the mysteries of space.

As for accompanying William?

Are you worried that William won't come back?

These are all just excuses, okay?!

"So busy, not even letting me catch my breath or rest for a while." William felt very tired lately. Since version 1.0 was launched, he hadn't had a moment's rest. He was either scheming against each other or rushing into battle himself, and now he had to explore unknown territories.

"No, I have to talk to Annie and tell her to keep an eye on Old Bander. That old bastard is definitely causing trouble on purpose." William strode out of the meeting room.

Not long after.

He arrived at the Moon Tree, completely ignoring Arthur at the door, and arrogantly strode into the Princess's bedroom.

Heartbreaking!

That's heartbreaking!

Arthur clenched his fists stubbornly. This guy had once entered the Princess's bedroom and Arthur had to inform him, but now he didn't even need to?

What is their relationship?

What progress has been made?

What exactly did Her Princess do to him?

The Executor Arthur, in a daze, had only these thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't go in; he could only guard the door.

Returning to Annie's Sky Garden, William felt a long-lost sense of tranquility.

The Little Princess, barefoot, sat on the swing and swayed back and forth, seemingly unaware of her arrival.

William didn't treat himself as an outsider. He took off his shoes and went inside. He didn't say anything, but instead lay down on the hammock under the vines and closed his eyes.

1 minute.

5 minutes.

10 minutes.

Annie clenched her little fists. Ten minutes have passed, and she still hasn't spoken to me?

then.

Just as the Little Princess turned around angrily to chase them away, a soft snoring sound suddenly began...

Annie saw William curled up in the hammock, his brow furrowed even in his sleep.

He seemed to be deep in thought, his lips tightly closed, as if he had many secrets hidden in his heart.

She suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Okay, okay~

Unicorn appeared beside her and nuzzled the Princess's shoulder with its head...

"He's so pitiful...and I'm so pitiful too, aren't I?" Annie sighed. She didn't need to pity anyone.

We're all the same.

I have a home but can't go back.

They were all pitiful creatures abandoned by their families.

How can anyone respect a tiny insect?

Only by breaking free from the cocoon and transforming into the most beautiful and dazzling butterfly in the world can everyone raise their heads and look up to them!
