Chapter 387: Another Large Yield
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan was satisfied with the recent addition.
When she had killed over a thousand Wyverns raised by the Beastmen, she had gotten only 70 Night Devil bees.
Clearly, the swamp dragon’s level and potential were both higher. This was completely beyond Su Wan’s expectations. She had gotten more than 300 Night Devil Bees!
The new Night Devil Bees were of S-class potential!
If she had used her resources to recruit them, she would’ve had to spend at least a few hundred thousand of rare resources.
The second reward of this encounter was the Swamp Dragon Hero.
At the moment, Su Wan had no Soul Contract, so she couldn’t tame the Swamp Dragon Hero. However, with Xu Yuan there, and the recent transformation of the Hydra, she was in no hurry to tame it.
Maybe in the future, she might be able to obtain some reward by which she could tame the Swamp Dragon Hero.
Judging from the strength of the Golden Dragon’s soul, the Hydra was going to transform drastically.
Su Wan was looking forward to the new and transformed Hydra. She was quite satisfied with what she obtained in this encounter.
“Everyone,” said Su Wan. “Prepare to return to the territory.”
She would send the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the Hydra back first. After that, she might go and explore the place where the Dark demonic Tree was located.
The sun was setting. Su Wan and Xu Yuan saw a dark area in the distance.
They felt emotional. They were finally back home!
As their bond with the territory grew deeper, their relationship with each other also grew stronger.
It was a wonderful feeling. The troops sped up and crossed the swamp in no time. They all wanted to get back to the territory before dark.
When the residents saw Su Wan approaching, they became excited.
“My Lord, you’re back!”
“Good evening, My Lord!”
“Welcome home, My Lord!”
Su Wan smiled radiantly. She nodded at everyone. She and Xu Yuan made their way to the Dark Castle.
They placed the Hydra in the backyard. The Dark Castle was guarded very strictly.
Some guards were left around the Hydra to guard him.
The troops were dismissed. They went off to the mess for some warm food and tea.
Xu Yuan turned back into his dragon form.
Su Wan was delighted to be back.
Timo rushed over when he got the news that the Lord was back.
Timo was getting old. The lines and wrinkles on his face were apparent. However, he looked far from old with a grin on his face.
“Lord Su Wan, Your Majesty, you’re back!”
Su Wan smiled at him. The dwarf had definitely made too many contributions to the territory. Su Wan wished she could do something for him.
Unfortunately, at present, no treasure could restore one’s youth or prolong one’s life. Su Wan was worried that he might suddenly fall sick one day.
“Sit down, Timo,” said Su Wan. “You work too hard. You can hand over some of the work to your underlings and lighten your burdens.”
“Lord Su Wan, I enjoy working here. This territory has shown me the purpose of my life,” said Timo with a chuckle. “It is my honor. I can sacrifice my life and my soul for this city.”
Su Wan was conflicted. She was grateful for his loyalty but was concerned for his health.
“Lord Su Wan, I want to report to you on the matters of the territory,” said Timo.
Su Wan nodded. “Let’s start from the underground world.”
“Yes, My Lord!” Timo’s voice turned serious. “The plan to unify the underground world has been ongoing. However, the progress has been… slow. It is estimated that it’ll take three more months. The weapons factory project had been launched. The proposal for food and other surface items for weapons has spread far and wide in the underground. The intelligent races responded well to the proposal. Many factions contacted the Dark Region City to establish a cooperative relationship.”
“It won’t be long before there is a steady supply of weapons being produced. Also, the development of alchemy technology in the territory is progressing smoothly. At present, the work is led by a Master Alchemist and has entered the stage of full recovery. He is currently integrating the alchemy technology left behind by the dwarves. It was expected that the integration would be completed by the beginning of the month. By then, the level of alchemy technology would reach a new level.”
“Also, many heroes have been recruited from the underground. Although most of them are of D, E, and even F-rank, some are of B-rank. There are some dwarves who claim to be from the bloodline of the gods.”
Su Wan was intrigued. She had been planning to recruit heroes from the underground world but had never gotten around to doing it. The underground heroes were usually put off by the alchemy bombs.
Su Wan was especially curious about the goblins, who claimed to be from the bloodline of the gods.
“The goblins claim that their bloodline gives them immense power. However, they… lost this power and the way to develop it after a war some thousand years back,” said Timo. “The goblins seek refuge here to solve their… problem.” “Where are they now?”
“In the Furnace City under strict surveillance.”
“I’ll go and check it out later,” said Su Wan. Anything that involved the gods would not be a trivial matter.
Timo continued with his report.
“In the territory, the one-armed blacksmith, Sam, has gained some new insight from his research on attack weapons. He is currently developing advanced attack technology. He says the results will be out in a few weeks.”
Su Wan remembered the blacksmith. He was a determined man. She had been so impressed by his willpower and the need for self-improvement that she had used a Strengthening Crystal to grant him an A-class skill.
He hadn’t expected Sam to progress so fast! He was even developing a new attack technology!
Su Wan was proud of him for doing so. It seemed that nurturing talents was never a waste of effort..
