After leaving the Harem Tower, Kent went to the Servant Tower. However, unlike the other towers, this one had nothing unique. It was just a plain space where he could have built a city for his servants if he wanted to.
He didn’t have the funds to build a city just yet, so he left a few minutes later and visited the Legion Tower. But, just like the Servant Tower, that place also required him to build a city or barracks for his legion.
Leaving there, he went to the Soul Tower.
“This place is really made for soul cultivation. Just breathing seems to affect my cultivation,” Kent said, taking a long, deep breath that filled his mood with joy.
[This place boosts the master’s absorption speed by 60% and comprehension speed by 80%. So you don’t have to worry too much about your soul cultivation. After all, the more people you add to the tower, the stronger you get.
The only thing you need to focus on is Alchemy and Swordsmanship. But, of course, you would have to learn your soul techniques manually to ensure you have a good grasp of them.]
“I won’t say I’m not impressed—that’s because I am impressed, Gaia. Well done. After this, I’ll donate some tower points to a good cause.”
After observing the tower for a while, Kent moved toward the Pagoda that stood on a small mountain.
[That is a technique given to you by Goddess Vexthra. You can access it now and learn by passing some trials, but its true nature will open when you become a Root Sage.
It was the restriction Goddess Vexthra placed on it. But if you want, I can break the restriction so you can access the true technique directly.]
“No. Let’s follow her timeline. She knew the reason why she made it so, so let’s respect that,” Kent stopped her.
Vexthra is his woman, and if she restricted something meant to aid him, he would have to respect that and only access it when he is ready, and the restriction is lifted.
“Let’s go to the Guardian Tower. I will return here soon. I need to take my soul cultivation to at least Tier 5 before the Pill Master competition in three months.”
A second later, they arrived in a room where the only thing inside was a giant screen showing three words: ‘Gaia’s Guardian Shop.’
“What is this place, Gaia?” Kent asked, looking strangely at the screen.
[This is the guardian Tower master. This tower is all about protecting your wards, and since Tower City is where those you want can stay, this place is where you shop for the various ways to see that your wards are protected.
I have hundreds of ways, but since this is just the initial awakening of the tower, I will present only two items you can purchase right now]
Kent didn’t immediately say anything. He waited for Gaia to show what she had for him. Honestly, he wasn’t planning on building a City at each tower.
Instead of building cities, he can build training spaces for them. During his time at the Tower shop, he saw something called [Dungeon Master Card]
If he buys one and uses it, it will teleport him to an unconquered dungeon where he can use the card to claim it and move it into the tower if he manages to conquer it.
In fact, it wasn’t just dungeons; even trial grounds and ruins could be claimed for him. Basically, if he wants, he can steal anything into his tower.
So he wasn’t disappointed when he discovered this place was unlike the others.
[For now, these are the other two things I have inside the Guardian Tower]
An image of a spiderlike creature appeared. It has six eyes and six sharp legs. Kent didn’t even need to use appraisal skills to grab its details. It was already on it.

“Not a bad item you have there, Gaia. But why is it so expensive? It’s not like it has the means to actively battle, despite being a Root Sage.”
[The master forgets that you have to get close to someone to place a tracker on them. But even if I place a tracker on them, I couldn’t kill them remotely.
Also, there is a chance my tracker won’t work when they enter certain secret domains.
However, with this beast, you can monitor and kill them anytime. In fact, if you have this, your first quest can be cleared while you are hundreds of miles away.
Also, if you buy one, I will throw in another for free.]
“Fine, but let me see the other item. I will buy this, but only when it’s nearing the auction.”
[Great,] Gaia beams with joy after securing a deal. She then shows the next item.
The next item appears, and it is a humanoid figure made purely of metal. It has metal armor and two long swords strapped to its back. Its red eyes glow faintly, with red strips lining its body.
__________
[Name: Dual-Wielding Obsidian Doll]
[Grade: Great Sage (Peak)]
[Class: Dual wielder]
— A doll created from obsidian dark metal known for its durability. It is made purely for combat. It’s mostly known as the Sentinel Guardian because it’s made to protect.
— It has enhanced close combat abilities that don’t pale compared to a Saint Swordsman.
— It can learn techniques related to the sword. It can also wield other weapons if you provide it (They must be dual weapons).
— It uses the Fire, Ice, and Lightning elements.

— It has no feelings and can only listen and obey the instructions of its master.
— Its weapons are indestructible.

“Gaia, I will be using the One-Time Purchase Pass to buy this doll… please,” Kent smiled as he said that. He wanted the expert in close combat the moment he saw it.
Why? Because he needed an expert in close combat instead of dummies to train with. But more importantly, he needed a trump card—someone or something he could rely on to save his ass when in trouble.
With this doll, he felt secure from now on. And with him about to expose his secret as the Perfect Alchemist soon, he needed all the protection he could get.
[Purchase complete. Item has been shipped to the tower storage.]
Kent immediately used his connection and summoned the doll, which appeared to be standing 3 meters tall.
“This is perfect. With this, I can gallivant anywhere without a care for danger.” His laughter beamed as he examined the doll for a while. After being satisfied, he left the tower to care for things on the outside.
