Chapter 678: Chapter 463: New Magic and New Scrolls_1

[Congratulations to Lord Leo Ray, ID 0013076067, for being the first in the world to upgrade to an 8th level Lord’s Mansion! Reward: one Tier 4 random skill scroll, and one Tier 4 random magic scroll!]

At this moment, in every corner of the various continents, people heard this sudden announcement.

For a time, the lords residing in territories among steep mountains, forest streams, desert edges, or swampy grounds were stunned.

Soon, they quickly transitioned to an uncontrollable state of stupor.

After some time of development, all the lords who had successfully survived had gained a fair understanding of this world.

They had already changed from the initial confusion and helplessness to calmly assessing their current situation.

Especially with the many chat channels, allowing lords from different regions to share real-time information.

However, on the other hand, through the chat channels in various regions,

Although the vast majority of lords have learned some necessary information such as survival skills in the wild, local customs and power distribution, and magical techniques,

It also brought a large number of shocking early warnings, such as where a city lord launched another siege on otherworldly lords and where powerful monsters appeared, and so on.

As a result, under the dual threats of local natives and nearby demon beasts, all lords clearly understood.

To survive or live better in this otherworld, one of the most important things is to develop and constantly grow!

And the key to development is naturally to upgrade their own Lord’s Mansion.

After the mansion is upgraded, not only can more daily recruitment orders be obtained, recruiting more subordinates to quickly strengthen oneself,

And it can also produce more practical tools and daily necessities, ensuring the development of your territory goes more smoothly.

Of course, there are also practical functions such as Mind Talk and forming alliances.

At this stage, most of the lords have already begun to cooperate with other lords in the vicinity to some extent, using their talents to complement each other.

As a result, a part of the lords with good talents and greater benefits have already upgraded their mansions to the fourth-class scale.

And the vast majority of Lord’s Mansions are in the process of transitioning from third-class mansions to fourth-class mansions.

After all, to upgrade to a fourth-class mansion, in addition to the regular wood, stone, and thatch,

You also need iron ore and copper ore, two higher-level and hard-to-find resources.

However, fortunately, there are not a few lords with awakened prospecting talents, which quickly resolved this issue.

As a result, a small number of lords who were lucky enough to find rich and easily mined ore veins have even upgraded to 5th-level mansions, becoming the first echelon of the vast majority of lords.

Moreover, because upgrading to a 5th level mansion allows you to receive Tier 2 recruitment orders and recruit more powerful Tier 2 powerhouses,

This group of significantly strengthened lords often became the leaders in their respective regions.

Not only can they obtain better resources, but they are also admired and worshipped by other surrounding lords, undoubtedly becoming true success stories in the otherworld.

At this time, the various local lords who thought of this could not help but swallow their saliva.

It is undeniable that the group of lords who own a 5th level mansion are already the best among lords. Even calling them superior people is not an exaggeration, holding the power of life and death over other weaker lords in the palm of their hands.

“And Master Leo who just upgraded his mansion to level 8, isn’t he the grandfather, no, the ancestor of these lord elites?!”

Realizing this point, the ordinary lords from various places couldn’t help but take a deep breath of cold air.

It must be said that Master Leo is too terrifying.

If they could have Master Leo’s protection during their lifetime, it would certainly be a very happy thing, right?

At the same time, those lords who had already upgraded their mansions to level 5 were even more incredulous and astonished.

This small group of high-ranking lords in their respective regions clearly understood the challenges.

To upgrade to a 6th level mansion, they no longer need iron ore and copper ore.

Instead, it requires iron ingots and copper ingots that can only be smelted in a smeltery!

You should know that to establish a smeltery, it not only requires a considerable amount of copper and iron ore during construction,

And it can only produce up to 100 units of iron or copper ingots per day, using a lot of manpower and consuming large amounts of copper and iron ore in the process.

Most importantly, during the smelting process, a large amount of thick smoke will be produced, which makes it very easy to expose the location of the territory.

For territories located in uninhabited areas, this might be less of an issue.

But if there are local natives or demon beasts nearby, it would be tantamount to digging one’s own grave, requiring great risk to accomplish.

From this, it can be seen that the resources needed to upgrade the 6th level mansion are clearly like a huge mountain, heavily weighing on the shoulders of each of them.

Even calling it an absolute watershed between the lords is no exaggeration.

And that Master Leo, casually shattered this mountain on his shoulder, and even skyrocketed to this terrible level that could only be looked up to.
