The next day, dawn twilight arrived.
In a room within the City Lord’s Mansion, Isloa, who had only slept for four hours, woke up.
Though she had less sleep, she was full of energy. If she didn’t have to worry about the task in the Time Maze City, she believed she could sleep even sounder.
“No matter what, work, work hard!”
“Only when the territory becomes powerful can the rescue operation go smoothly.”
“Hurry, give me a work assignment!!”
It was the first time Boss Mu had seen someone clamoring to work.
That’s promising!
He thought for a moment and then spoke.
“As you’re aware, our Tianyuan Territory has just started out, there are many aspects that need to be built up, so the burdens on you will be heavier.” However, Isloa was not afraid.
Mu Yuan nodded, “First of all, can you write out all of the complete magic system, alchemy system, and some ancient knowledge that you have mastered?”
“No problem, although it sounds a bit cumbersome, but…”
Isloa stretched out her hand and a twinkling starlight floated from her pale fingertips, floating to a corner of the hall, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a girl who looked almost exactly like her in terms of dress, style, and body shape.
A doppelganger ability?
“This technique is called ‘Puppet Doppelganger’, simply put, it’s…”
Then, hundreds, if not thousands, of words poured out of Isloa’s mouth, every word made sense on its own, but when put together, they were baffling.
Mu Yuan returned a smile.
He couldn’t admit that he didn’t understand, could he?
After all, he, Lord Shepherd, needed to save face.
‘I should seriously study some theoretical knowledge, with Isloa’s help, I should be able to free up more time.’
Mu Yuan didn’t understand the theory behind Isloa’s ability, but he understood the conclusion.
It’s not entirely a doppelganger.
One, the power is weak; two, the thought process is simple, only capable of handling simple tasks, such as reading Isloa’s own memories, and writing out books based on that.
In the blink of an eye, Isloa created several more puppet doppelgangers who picked up tools and started transcribing without further ado.
This was the perfect tool for a 996 schedule! Ahem, the employee of the year! Isloa raised her neck proudly, as if to say: just like that.
Seeing this, Mu Yuan felt relieved and took out his notebook, “The second thing is the enhancement of the domain interferer we discussed yesterday.” “Understood, my Lord.”
She assured that there was no problem.
“The third thing is to set up our own caravan in the territory for transportation and sale of various commodities.”
“Understood.”
She continued to agree.
“The fourth thing is the planning of the territory’s construction… I remember that you have studied architecture and management, haven’t you?”
“The fifth thing is the research on the spell fusion project.”
“The sixth thing,…”
“The seventh thing,…”
“Oh, and one more thing, although you are currently a civilian official, you must not neglect your personal cultivation, only when you improve your strength, can you enter Trick City for rescue.”
Last night, Mu Yuan and Isloa had had a deep…careful discussion about the information about Trick City.
Many shadowy monsters are active there.
They’re mainly tricky, hard to defend against, but it’s not yet to the point where they can’t be dealt with.
In the beginning, Isloa’s group consisted of four elite-level individuals, the rest were on a professional level, and they also went through some hardships, so they were not in the best condition.
In contrast, their combat power here can be pieced together with legions, and the number of elite-level strongmen is not necessarily fewer.
Mu Yuan looked at the crescent-shaped object in his hand.
This was not the Key to the Secret Region, but a ‘task tool’ formed by the power of Heaven and Earth when accepting the mission, which had a teleportation function.
It could teleport them directly before Trick City.
It could also teleport them back to the starting point at any time.
But it only has two chances to use, one to go and one to return. If they returned without finding the rescue target, it would mean mission failure.
“Hmm, I understand.”
When it comes to the task in Trick City, Isloa became more serious, but after the seriousness had passed, she vaguely remembered…
The first, second, third, fourth…seventh, eighth, ninth task assigned by the Lord just now!
Damn!
Although she was mentally prepared that the work of the territory would be heavy at the beginning, wasn’t this too much?
Well, who made her the right-hand man of the Lord and the indispensable general of the Tianyuan Territory.
Wait a minute!
“What about Duo Lai?” It wasn’t until this moment that Isloa vaguely remembered that this place…doesn’t only have her as a hero.
“But do you think Duo Lai can handle these tasks?”
Duo Lai only knows how to eat.
Even General Dead Bone felt a headache when dealing with these affairs, let alone that Dead Bone had a more important task, which was to train the Undead Legion and teach the Skeleton Generals and Resentful Spirits along with Rakshasa.
In the past, all these logistics jobs were done by him, Mr. Mu.
Of course, now they should be delegated to reliable staff members.
“Don’t worry, although Duo Lai is not reliable and the territory can’t find someone like you, a great talent who can handle administrative tasks on her own, I will arrange for a few reliable assistants for you.”
As soon as Isloa heard the words ‘a great talent who can handle administrative tasks on her own’, she was as happy as if she had eaten honey. The Lord’s vision was just right.
Yes, she is after all a hero, a genius hero, who else can be expected to do these tasks if not her?
Isn’t it a joyful thing to be trusted by the Lord and entrusted with important tasks?
Soon, the reliable assistants arranged by the lord arrived one by one.
Mu Yuan introduced them, “This one is Lu Liu, the current commander of our territorial defense troops. He’s responsible for daily security, managing territory citizens, and recruiting refugees.”
“She is Seventeen, who has experience in teaching citizens how to cultivate the soil and plant crops.”
“This one is Niu Si, the captain of the patrol team.”
“Also, there’s Lainey, who currently runs the only hospital in Tianyuan
Territory, though she only has two people under her command.”
These are the ones within Tianyuan Territory who are free, intelligent, reliable, and well-informed.
Each one of them is an important figure, at the very least a junior officer. Undeniably, Tianyuan Territory predominantly depends on its military power. While Lu Liu and Seventeen are not particularly proficient in managing territories, they do have some experience and a wealth of information about it. Through communication with each one of them, Isloa quickly gained a richer and more nuanced understanding of the Tianyuan Territory.
She also got to meet several of her peers.
She could tell that Lu Liu, Seventeen, and others were military officials, implying the territory was seriously understaffed. Lainey, even though she seemed to fit more of an administrative role, seemed awkward in handling the work.
However, Isloa could detect a subtle, profound and high level of Holy Light energy radiating from Lainey.
She found it somewhat familiar.
Just like… Just like… during the festival, the Holy Light Master Sacrifice, Windsor, who was sitting next to her!
Isloa’s eyes widened in surprise.
Lainey, with her clear but naive eyes, seemed to have only just awakened her self-awareness.
She had just been promoted to the rank of Holy Light Master Sacrifice a few days ago by the Lord himself. Even though she hadn’t advanced to the professional level, she had already naturally awakened her self-consciousness. This seemed reasonable.
Was there anything wrong?
“Wait…”
Isloa turned to look at Lu Liu and Seventeen. What rank are they? No wonder she always felt that these two were very powerful!
In the afternoon,
Isloa joined the Lord in a visit to the most prestigious building in the core area
– the Magic Furnace.
Accompanying them was Duo Lai.
Isloa looked at the building, touched the exquisite intricacies of various patterns inscribed upon it, and immediately felt reinvigorated, all her fatigue from the morning’s work disappeared.
“This building is very mysterious! It seems to hold more potential possibilities.”
“That’s right, this building can fuse magical techniques to create more powerful large-scale magic techniques. Isn’t this your area of expertise?” “Of course!”
Isloa had been named the ‘Mage of All Forms’, ‘Thousand Star Mage’, among others. She had invented countless techniques and combinations, and she almost established a new faculty in the Central Magic Academy as a student. What was her secret? It was her exceptional academic talent.
An experienced mage could master this building while Isloa was more proficient and compatible with it. She immediately started tinkering with it, only to appear crestfallen a moment later.
“Blazing Sun? This is just a super fireball technique! How can such a crude technique be stored in there? It’s a blasphemy, blasphemy!”
Mu Yuan remained silent, secretly glancing at Duo Lai (—>_—■).
Duo Lai looked nothing more than clueless.
Isloa noticed the gaze of the lord and understood somewhat, and immediately felt embarrassed.
She suppressed her agitation, cleared her throat, “Anyway, the fusion of magic techniques requires careful consideration of compatibility, timing, ratios, and also the quantity input.”
She said up to here, and Mu Yuan understood a bit why his previous attempts failed.
In the fusion of magic techniques, some might need a large quantity, and some might need a small quantity. Like compounding medicine or cooking, they need to be in certain proportions.
But he was always outputting equal quantities.
Of course, even with equal quantities, without adequate foundation he could not figure out the right proportions, since there were so many variables involved.
“My Lord, do you have any requirements for magic techniques?”
She asked.
Mu Yuan thought for a bit and said:
“The Magic Furnace has been upgraded to level 2 and has 20 input slots. How about… we fuse two techniques, one for offense and one for defense, what do you think?”
“No problem, the attack technique could be either thunder or fire oriented, as they are powerful and have a broad area of effect. They can effectively deal with monster tides or large-scale monsters.”
Her suggestion aligns with what Lord Mu had perceived.
“For the defensive technique…” she pondered for a while, noticing that the territory’s main force seemed to be Nature-oriented, “we could base it on Wood techniques. The defensive technique thus fused might not immediately possess great power, but it would be sustainable, which is quite essential for one-time techniques.”
Upon this consideration, Isloa began to start her work immediately.
Fusing magic techniques was not a one-person job, so she pulled in the Lord and Duo Lai as her assistants in managing the power load.
They busied themselves for two and a half hours.
In the end,
Although Lord Mu and General Duo Lai were only slightly out of breath, Isloa was dripping with sweat. Her hair was sticking to her face, looking utterly drained, but the light in her eyes was still bright, and there was a huge sense of achievement in her heart.
The Magic Furnace held an irresistible allure for real mages!
She introduced, “The offensive technique has nothing special, it’s called the ‘Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon’. It’s as flashy as the name suggests, able to manifest nine dragons formed by intertwining thunder flames, at least…. hundred meters long, I presume. Moreover, unlike one-off techniques, this dragon can sustain itself for a while.”
“The defensive technique is rather more ingenious. It is called ‘Myriad Verdant Ivy Formations’, not only can it form an ivy wood formation that covers and protects the entire territory in an instant and lasts for a considerably long time, but this ivy wood formation can also absorb enemy attacks and convert them into energy to sustain the technique. If the enemy cooperates, this large-scale technique can last for a long time.”
Indeed… it’s truly ingenious!
Isloa brought him a surprise that was far beyond his expectations. The fusion magic technique was not only more powerful but contained a number of subtle variations. In comparison, the previous ‘Blazing Sun1, similar to a super fireball technique, indeed seemed crude.
With these two large-scale magic techniques, even if Tianyuan Territory encounters a formidable enemy, they would still be able to put up a good fight.
If the mighty serpent servant faced the fierce strike of the Nine-headed Roaring Thunder Dragon, probably it wouldn’t be able to withstand much. Isloa, not bad at all.
However, having completed the Magic Furnace’s assignment, perhaps it’s time to start her next project.
