Elven Empire, Alanos.
In the Imperial Palace.
"The Mysterious Merchant appeared near that human Lord's territory?"
After hearing the report from Méaulte the Astrologer, the Original Elven Empress Elizariel frowned slightly.
The Mysterious Merchant!
Perhaps the Kingdom-level forces didn't have a deep understanding of this group of Mysterious Merchant.
However, as the leader of an Empire-level faction, she knew much more than other life forms.
She remembered it very clearly.
A long time ago.
There was a Divine Kingdom faction called Moon Hunt that wanted to obtain an incomplete Master God weapon sold by the Mysterious Merchant.
However, they did not have enough capital to buy it so they became greedy and changed it to daylight robbery!
In the end, not only did the daylight robbery fail, the Mysterious Merchant was also unharmed.
And on the same day, a huge star without life flew over from the starry sky and directly shattered Moon Hunt's Divine Kingdom.
Moon Hunt's true god, died in the divine kingdom!
Not long after, its Divine Kingdom faction had also disappeared.
No other force dared to attack the Mysterious Merchant since then.
The group of Mysterious Merchant had also become one of the taboos that everyone knew.
However, the living beings of the High Continent also understood the temper of this group of vendors.
They could not be bothered to attack other factions as long as the others did not take the initiative to provoke them.
It was as if they existed specifically for trade.
"What do they sell?" Elizariel asked.
"They're all very ordinary goods." Méaulte said.
"Then don't worry about them."
"Oh yes."
"How's the human Lord with the second-generation Blood Fire Arrow Elf?"
Elizariel asked.
"He's doing great."
"He should be one of the strongest amongst his race."
"Tomorrow is the novice Lord test arranged by the Supreme Will for them."
"As long as he doesn't have a death wish."
"It shouldn't be difficult to pass the test."
Méaulte said respectfully.
"Keep the elves watching them."
"When his Lord faction is destroyed, protect the second generation Blood Fire Arrow Elf and bring her back." Elizariel said indifferently.
Ever since the Void Mask concealed Zhou Zhou's information and rendered divination useless,
they had specially paid a price to teleport some elves who were doing intelligence work to the vicinity of Blazing Sun City in order to continue obtaining information about Zhou Zhou and the others.
They did not ask for too much information.
As long as they could obtain some basic information and confirm whether this human Lord was dead or alive, as well as ensure the safety of the second-generation Blood Fire Arrow Elf, it would be fine.
This way, even the Void Mask could not stop them.
A moment later.
Méaulte took her leave.
"Come out."
Elizariel said indifferently.
As soon as she finished speaking.
An elf with long fiery red hair and a Fire Mark at the corner of her eyes walked out from behind in embarrassment.
It was the first generation Blood Fire Arrow Elf, Nadia!
She had already been revived!
"Your Majesty!"
She said respectfully and carefully.
"You heard her."
"The human Lord you care about isn't dangerous."
"And is doing well."
"He has a high chance of passing the Supreme Will's novice Lord test."
"Don't let him distract you."
"Don't forget."
"The Empire paid a huge price to revive you from the river of time."
"Everything you have now was given to you by the Empire."
"What you need to do now is to focus on receiving the Empire's nurturing and grow as quickly as possible!"
"We need you to fight for the Elven Empire as soon as possible!"
Elizariel stared at her.
"This subordinate has a wish to fulfill."
"As long as this wish is fulfilled, I'm willing to fight for the Empire my entire life until my death!"
Nadia suddenly knelt down and said.
"What is your wish?" Elizariel asked.
"This subordinate wants to see the Lord of The Blazing Sun pass the novice Lord test with my own eyes." Nadia whispered.
"I remember that you met him a few times just because of the Hero Inheritance, right?"
"You've only revived today."
"Why isn't your heir the first thing that you are bothered about after you were resurrected?"
"Why are you so concerned about that human Lord?"
Elizariel said indifferently.
Nadia remained silent.
A few seconds later.
She replied.
"Before I came back to life."
"My mark of fate has been drifting in the River of Time."
"I appeared in front of the Lord of The Blazing Sun because of the Time Ruins."
"At that time, I only had memories before I died."
"There."
"I've experienced the destruction of Indre again and again."
"The Lord of The Blazing Sun wiped this subordinate's tears and told me that I had already done very well. He had already helped me save all the members of the Guardian team."
"Every time he entered the Time Ruins…"
"He'd do it to me."
"So …"
"I just want to see him in reality."
"That's all."
Nadia said.
Elizariel didn't say anything.
A moment later.
"Remember what you said."
She said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nadia was pleasantly surprised.
…
Aurora Kingdom.
Royal Palace.
In a study room.
The current king of the Aurora Kingdom, Li Yuangan, was looking at the memorial in his hand.
His hair was already white after being the king for 50 to 60 years.
However, his eyes were bright, steady, and powerful.
An imposing aura emanated from his body.
Anyone who saw such an old man would feel that he could govern the Aurora Kingdom for another 50 years!
A moment later.
He put down the memorial.
"The Lord of The Blazing Sun…"
"He actually unified a Black Iron-Tier area in just seven days."
"There seems to be a hero beside him."
"Even Zheng Yuanqi went to his place."
"I think Zhao Changshou is with him too."
"Wu Xin seems to have run over to him too…"
"The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Li Yuangan lamented.
"What should I reward him with…"
"If he wants Aurora Crystals, we can give him the authority to trade Aurora Crystals."
"But the reward alone doesn't seem to accord him the due respect…"
He looked thoughtful.
At this moment, the waiter outside the door brought in another memorial.
"Your Majesty."
"An urgent message from Fish Spring Town."
The attendant said respectfully.
Li Yuangan took the memorial.
He opened it and raised his eyebrows.
"The Mysterious Merchant has appeared in Fish Spring Town?"
"Fortunately, they didn't sell anything good."
"Otherwise, my tiny Aurora Kingdom won't be able to withstand the torment of external forces."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The goods sold by the Mysterious Merchant.
If they had good commodities, it would definitely attract the competition of experts from all over.
That was because to experts, it was their opportunity!
As for the local Lords… That would be a disaster.
The local Lords could not afford to offend anyone of these experts after all…
After these experts left, what was left for the local Lords was most likely a mess.
He came back to his senses.
He thought of the Lord of The Blazing Sun.
"Tomorrow is their novice Lord test."
"Let's see how far he can go."
"If he can perform very well in the novice Lord test."
"In the future Lord of All Races Contest."
"My Aurora Kingdom might be able to help him advance further."
Li Yuangan was deep in thought.
…
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
The sky had already darkened.
Blazing Sun City.
In the Lord's courtyard.
In the bathtub in the bathroom.
Zhou Zhou, who had taken off all his clothes, was lying quietly in the bathtub, circulating the Dark Water Mystic Technique to increase his strength.
A moment later.
Feeling that he had reached the limit of his diving time, he came out of the bathtub.
After drying his body, Zhou Zhou put on his clothes and sat down in the living room.
"Even though the Dark Water Mystic Technique can allow one to obtain promotion energy without killing, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the promotion energy I need in my body."
"It's far inferior to thousands of soldiers killing together and giving me more promotion energy."
"Under such circumstances…"
"I can obtain higher-level martial arts manuals to increase my efficiency in obtaining promotion energy."
"Or I can only be patient and rely on accumulation to obtain promotion energy."
Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
The Dark Water Mystic Technique was not bad.
However, it would probably take a long time if he wanted to rely on it to advance his realm.
Nonetheless, he did not lose his patience.
He had nothing to do in the territory.
He just had to practice slowly.
In any case, it would not affect the promotion energy that the soldiers obtained from killing.
He would take it as earning extra income from the promotion energy.
At this moment…
"My Lord!"
"I, Zhao Changshou, have something to report!"
"The Wall has been completed!"
Zhao Changshou's happy voice came from outside.
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up.
He immediately walked out of the Lord's courtyard and came to the city wall with Zhao Changshou.
He looked at the city wall.
At this moment, the Sand Crystal City Wall was very different from the previous one.
The most obvious change was:
In the past, the Sand Crystal City Wall was only one meter wide.
It was not convenient to walk on the city wall.
And now, the Sand Crystal City Wall has been strengthened and thickened a lot.
It now appeared to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom!
The bottom of the city wall was more than 10 meters wide!
and the topmost city wall was also five to six meters wide!
Given this width of the city wall, even if the cannons bombarded it, they could only create a small hole on the surface of the city wall.
If it landed on the surface of the city wall that was mixed with Sand Crystal, they might not even be able to create a small hole.
As for the width of the city wall, even if four rows of soldiers walked side by side, it would still feel very spacious.
Other than that, Zhao Changshou also built a slope inside the city wall.
He called this slope the Horse Path.
Its main function was to facilitate the transportation of soldiers, rations, and arms from the city walls.
Even Cavalrymen could also use the horse path to ride directly from the city wall to the city wall.
In addition, the horse path was built on the inside of the city wall.
It was also conducive to strengthening the city wall!
Moreover, it was easy and fast to make.
In short, there were many benefits.
Apart from the change in the thickness of the city wall, there was another important change.
The number of Aurora Towers on the city wall had increased!
Originally, there was only one Aurora Tower on the city wall.
Later on, Zhou Zhou gave Zhao Changshou 1,091 Green Bronze-Tier Aurora Crystals and 10 Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Crystals as mission rewards.
Zhao Changshou used a large number of basic materials and Mist Cores to build another six Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Aurora Towers and one Yellow Gold-Tier Elementary Grade Aurora Tower with their help!
There were already eight Aurora Towers full of energy on the city wall!
Even if a White Platinum-Tier fog monster dared to attack Blazing Sun City, the Eight Aurora Towers could directly turn it into a corpse!
Zhou Zhou saw this and a smile appeared on his face again.
These eight Aurora Towers, coupled with such a thick city wall, provided him with the confidence to fight for the one and only Supreme Reward!
