Next, in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Our people and Princess Ariel had a very satisfying welcome banquet. During this process, Leo Ray naturally did not focus all his attention on the delicious food.
As a City Lord, he once again laid down rules for Princess Ariel and her party in a tone that was half-threatening and half-negotiating, informing them that they could only move around the City Lord’s Mansion, garden, and courtyard without permission and were not allowed to leave this area.
Furthermore, besides the personal maids and the two Kingdom Generals,
The two Royal Guard Middle Teams and other accompanying personnel were also forbidden from leaving the barracks.
As for the security work of the City Lord Mansion and surrounding areas, it was undertaken by our elite soldiers.
On the other hand, although Ariel was somewhat unwilling, she eventually compromised under Leo Ray’s intimidation.
However, the only thing that rendered Leo Ray somewhat speechless was the princess’s picky appetite.
Despite having hired the best chefs, bakers, and bartenders in Cyan Town for the event,
They only received a “not bad” comment from the other party, and that was only because they were afraid of Leo Ray becoming difficult.
“It’s no wonder, after all, they are members of the royal family and have the best chefs in the entire Coldflame Kingdom, so naturally, they must be a bit picky about food,”
Looking at Princess Ariel’s figure in the distance, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips, taking a big bite of the crispy, greasy Frost Lamb Leg in his hand, and followed it with a sip of the sweet and sour Twin Moon Fruit Wine.
Thus, by the end of the banquet, time had unconsciously arrived at the warm afternoon.
“The number of Copper Ingots obtained through the reverse supply should be enough by now. Since we have dispersed some of our forces in Cyan Town, it’s time to upgrade the mansion back in the territory.”
“With the new population limit, our strength will undoubtedly be further enhanced!”
Thinking of this, an excited Leo Ray, without hesitation, arranged a few maids to lead Princess Ariel and her party to their rooms for a rest.
He then headed straight to his territory in the forest with his other subordinates, excluding Gideon Black, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark.
After a thrilling ride through the forest,
It didn’t take long for our people to return safely to the territory within the forest.
In this process, Leo Ray, who had already become a Tier 3 powerhouse, for the first time did not use a mount but relied on his strength to shuttle through the dense trees.
Although slower, he used this opportunity to further consolidate the use of internal energy.
In particular, when wrapping the energy around his feet, he could practically walk on water even in the rapid river after a few attempts.
The feeling of walking on water was unique and exciting for Leo Ray for quite some time.
That being said, the reason why Leo Ray brought the Mage Squad this morning,
Was because the dozen or so Tier 2 Earth Element Magicians in the team had the ability to build bridges.
This allowed the two Great Swordsman Middle Teams’ Tier 2 soldiers to pass through the turbulent waters.
“There is no denying that the river to the west of the territory is indeed a good natural barrier, coupled with the narrow upstream channels, I am looking forward to the day it comes into play.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray instructed his subordinates to disassemble and rest, and then returned to the Lord’s Mansion in the center of the territory.
Entering the room, he strode straight to the Manufacturing Magic Array.
After some skilled upgrade and decomposition operations,
A smile appeared on his face, “Iron Ingots: 5800 units, Copper Ingots: 5100 units, and enough other basic materials. After such a long time, I can finally upgrade my Lord’s Mansion to Level 7!” “I wonder what rewards I’ll get this time?”
Overjoyed, he hesitated not.
He went straight outside, commanded the Earth Guardians guarding the entrance to move back, and then eagerly pressed the upgrade button.
Immediately, the long-awaited prompt sounded.
[You have consumed Stone x300000, Wood x200000, Thatch X120000, Iron
Ingot x5000, Copper Ingot x5000]
[Lord’s Mansion Lv.6 is upgrading, please wait…]
At the same moment, a dazzling rainbow-colored curtain of light began to rise from the ground.
In an instant, the entire mansion was completely enveloped.
Listening to the growing sound of automatic construction within the curtain,
An eager expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face: “Since so many resources have been consumed, the Level 7 Lord’s Mansion should see significant changes, right?”
With this thought, just like before, he simply sat near the curtain, leaning against the legs of an Earth Guardian.
However, as the curtain covered a much larger area this time, the construction process was bound to take some time.
Thus, he didn’t just wait but casually opened the Trading Center.
“This time after the mansion upgrade, the stone reserves are down to only a few tens of thousands of units, while there are still plenty of wood and thatch. So, during this time, let’s exchange for some stone first.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray looked around and began browsing through the Trading Center interface.
After a detailed inspection, he noticed that,
Compared to a few days ago, the exchange prices for various common wild foods (including fish, shrimp, fruits, and even Demon Beast meats) have stabilized and are not showing a downward trend.
Seeing this, Leo Ray opened several more chat channels in a row, finding that apart from the still first-ranked personal Talent question,
The most common topic of discussion among the other Lords was how to allocate farmers for hunting and production work in a rational manner.
“It’s no wonder that although most Lords now have the ability to hunt autonomously, the number of people in the population has also increased accordingly. It seems that this is the reason for the lack of a significant price drop in food.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray reopened the Trading Center,
And noted that the prices of Iron Ore and Copper Ore had likewise declined, but the number of items listed for exchange had increased.
“From the chat channels, some Lords with prospecting Talents have found many unexploited ore veins,
Some of the Lords near large ore veins have even organized joint mining operations, resulting in a steady increase in the daily ore mining.”
It seems that some Lords have already advanced their mansions to Level 4, huh?”
As he contemplated, Leo Ray continued browsing..
