Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Current Situation of the Other Lords 1
Translator: 549690339
Once outside, he gazed at the two Earth Guardians stationed at the door, who had advanced to Tier 2 Nine-Star. Leo Ray checked their energy levels and found that they had less than 60% remaining.
After some contemplation, he opened the control panel and readjusted the positions of the six groups of Earth Guardians.
He changed the previous setup of one group in each of the four directions, one group patrolling, and one group guarding the Lord’s Mansion.
Now, one group was recharging in the Guardian Defense Mechanism, one group guarded the eastern main gate, one group guarded the western small gate, and one group guarded the Lord’s Mansion. The remaining two groups patrolled the left and right areas within the territory.
Undoubtedly, with the eight watchtowers where the Half-elf Archers were stationed and the reinforced walls of the territory, the defensive pressure on the southwest with no gates has been greatly reduced.
As such, this cycle allowed for at least five groups of Earth Guardians with sufficient energy to be on duty, and one group ready to be on standby while charging.
After completing all these arrangements, Leo Ray patted the hard skin of the Earth Guardian beside him and went straight to the place where the Half-elves worked.
“My Lord, you’re here!”
Seeing Leo Ray approaching, the tall and slender Belinda Wright immediately put down her tools and quickly greeted him.
At that moment, she wore a white wide-brimmed sun hat decorated with a beautiful blue feather and light-colored lace ribbon. Along with her pretty face, she looked like a medieval noble girl.
“Belinda, how are you? Have you adapted to life in the territory?”
Gesturing for the Half-elf girl to walk with him, Leo Ray casually asked.
“My Lord, it’s great.”
Belinda, whose almond-shaped eyes sparkled like stars and whose skin had clearly tanned, moved her pointy ears slightly and emotionally replied,
“Neither the seniors like Taylor, Serena, and Stella nor the farmer uncles like
Gavin Sullivan have any prejudice against us. Instead, they treat us like family.
I doubt any other Half-Elf Tribe would have the same luck as our Moonwhite
Tribe. ”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
Leo Ray smiled at Belinda, who had long lost her lady-like temperament. With a thought, he laid out 50 Tier 3 Longbows, 50 sets of Tier 3 Leather Armor, and 10,000 Magic Arrows neatly on the ground.
Seeing Belinda’s astonished expression, Leo Ray continued, “Now, all of you have Tier 3 equipment, right? Additionally, distribute these 1,000 more powerful Magic Arrows, 600 Armor-Piercing Arrows, and 400 Ice Arrows.”
Leo Ray nodded to Belinda and instructed, “I might be away from the territory for a while longer. Therefore, I’m entrusting you with all the territory’s defense work. If anything happens, report to me using Mind Talk. Understand?”
“Yes, sir! Please rest assured, my Lord!”
On the other hand, Belinda, who felt overwhelmed by the sudden responsibility, quickly bowed to Leo Ray.
Belinda, being too excited, seemed to have overlooked the distance between her wide-brimmed sun hat and Leo Ray’s nose.
Subsequently, Leo Ray helplessly repositioned the hat on Belinda’s head after feeling his reddened nose.
Following that, Leo Ray called over the four team leaders Gavin Sullivan and
distributed one set of Tier 2 Longbows and Tier 2 Leather Armor to each of the 80 farmers and hunters.
At the same time, he stored 500 brand new Tier 2 Longswords in the storage room, just in case.
After everything was completed, Leo Ray couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and returned to the Lord’s Mansion.
With the Half-elves now equipped with powerful Magic Arrows, the defense capabilities of the territory have undoubtedly escalated to a new level.
Returning to the spacious reception hall and sitting down, Leo Ray’s tense mood finally relaxed.
He had to admit that the afternoon spent returning from Cyan Town was a rare leisure time during these few days.
After taking a comfortable nap on the second floor, Leo Ray, who was lying in bed, opened the long-lost Chat Channel.
At this moment, he understood clearly.Despite the rare leisure time, the world was still full of crises, and that hadn’t changed.
“Let’s see what the other lords have been up to lately.”
Thinking this, Leo Ray randomly entered a chat channel.
“I never thought that a level 2 Lord’s Mansion would be so spacious and bright. Love it!”
“Hehe, young man, when you see the resources required to upgrade to a level 1+ Mansion, believe me, you’ll need a diaper.”
“What? Has the big brother upstairs already upgraded to a level 3 Mansion?”
“Pfft, what’s so great about a level 3 Mansion? Anonymous Bigshot reached level 5 Mansion two days ago. You guys are just scrubs.”
“Is Anonymous Bigshot that great? Master Leo conquered a town just last night! How can you guys even compare?”
“Mmm, to celebrate Brother Leo conquering a town, as the Deputy Leader of Master Leo No.5 Fan Club, I specially wore a new set of leather armor to celebrate (attached photo).”
“Holy shit, you can send selfies in the chat channel now?”
“To the one upstairs, that’s a new feature unlocked when you upgrade to a level 2 Mansion.”
“Hehe, we’re back to learn from our big brother again. Take care of yourself.”
Glancing at the photo, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly, “Good lord, she’s wearing the leather armor like a bikini.”
He switched to another chat channel. “5 copper ore for 10,000 units of wood, no bargaining or poor people.” “Why don’t you just rob someone?”
“Take it or leave it. In the trading center, this is the cheapest price. Do you understand the value? This is an essential resource for upgrading to a level 4 Mansion!” “We don’t welcome nouveaux riches in this channel. Get out!”
“Get lost! ”
After several hours of browsing chat channels, Leo Ray came to the following conclusions:
First of all, quite a few lords had already upgraded their Mansion to level 2.
Some even reached level 3 Mansions. These people likely awakened various talents. As for level 4 Mansions, none were found yet.
Secondly, there were sporadic sales of copper ore and iron ore in the trading center.
However, the prices were outrageous, indicating that the chances of other lords upgrading to level 1+ Mansions were not high.
Finally, no one could give a clear explanation about talent awakening. It seemed that this issue would not be resolved in the short term.
Then, as the day turned to dusk.
Leo Ray got out of bed, went for a walk, and then had dinner with his subordinates and the half-elves.
Afterward, he gathered Taylor, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, Belinda Wright, and Gavin Sullivan, the four team captains, in the living room to discuss their trip to Freedom City, Golin City..
