Chapter 288: Chapter 242 [New! Update complete, go live!]

In the year 122 of Rand, the third year after the Ring of Magic was shattered, July.

The first batch of soilless-cultivated crops was finally served on the lord’s dining table.

But he hardly had a few bites before the gluttonous Miss Brittany, a perfumer who had already advanced to the strength of a high-ranking wizard and was now trending towards becoming a spice master, swiftly carried out a clean-plate campaign.

To celebrate the harvest, a festival was held within the territory of Star Dragon City.

Spanning the entire Red Dragon Foothills region, thousands of people could rest and not work on this day.

Dancing, singing, and fully experiencing the joy of being alive.

Grown by the gnome Ludo, amusing clowns and bards performed everywhere, spreading cheer and laughter.

The ability to break free from the curse of the land and cultivate crops without soil meant that the people of the old era could still survive tough times, without having to force their stomachs to endure the mutated plants of the new age, and without the fear of turning into some sort of green-skinned creature.

In the same month, a major event that few knew about also occurred—Lind finally drank the Magic Potion and successfully advanced from Great Knight to Senior Grand Knight through the pathway of the "Sun’s Testament."

The tree trunk had finally grown a bit taller.

Afterwards, he sequentially upgraded the "Snake Catcher" and the "Supply Flame Knight" to the Hero Rank. His hard strength had now reached the rating standards of the Undead, which is level 31 and above.

According to Ghost Selena, he was now a knight of the third circle.

Coincidentally, his Flying Dragon, Flame Tumor Alex, was also rated as "third circle."

The power evaluation in the far eastern mainland seemed different from that of Xilu Continent. Lind, who had been unable to be rated as "second circle" before, noticed that few people in his territory could be rated with "circles," suggesting that reaching a certain level in a specific aspect might warrant a "circle" rating.

He wanted to ask Ghost Selena for more information, but was told her memory was incomplete. If he wanted to know more, he would have to enter the banshee’s dream to communicate with a Selena whose memories were intact.

Lind believed that his greatest strength was his ability to contain his curiosity.

He also had some guesses.

Before being rated as "third circle," Lind had already successfully advanced two powers, but he could never achieve the "third circle" rating until he tried to use and control the noble power in his second heartbeat and used that power to unleash Flames.

The rating of "circles" seemed to be related to the power of bursts.

Time could tame everything, and Lind felt that it wouldn’t be long before he completely mastered this power.

In addition, Lind also mastered the power of the "Lion Knight" pathway.

The Lion Knight came from the "Lion’s Hymn," believing in the power of a magical beast, which made the upper limit of this power very low, only staying at the level of Great Knight.

However, the effect brought by the "Lion Emblem" was quite interesting, giving Lind an unreasonable burst of bloodlust, accumulating blood fury with continuous attacks, and erupting at the final moment.

The Golden Oath knight also successfully advanced to Hero, and Queen Lania was very generous, without holding back on the Magic Potion.

Lind now possessed a total of seven knightly powers.

This included three Hero Rank powers, three Senior Grand Knight powers, and one Great Knight power.

While his strength had increased, it did not lead to war.

Lind’s existence was no secret to Raven City, and the fact that Dark Night Orchard had become a complete ruin could not be hidden from others, but they simply acted as if Lind did not exist.

Both sides entered a strange state of calm, ignoring each other while quietly carrying out their own affairs.

Lind didn’t understand either: "I’m waiting for the Blood Lambs to leave the pen; what are you waiting for?"

The cultivation and breeding of Blood Lambs finally began to scale. Although there was no clue on how to breed Blood Lambs of level 21 or above, the gradually stable production of Hearts of Calamity allowed Lind to leave the troubles for later.

At last, the production of Great Knights en masse was possible, from Star Dragon City to Mountain Demon Castle, all soldiers of the Rand Legion would be upgraded.

This was a massive project, totaling nearly fifteen hundred people, not including the soldiers recruited later by Star Dragon City and Mountain Demon Castle.

The first batch of 100 Great Knights alone would take two months, but the second batch of 500 only needed one month. By the time it came to the remaining group, it took just a few days.

Now he had a new problem.

The feed for breeding was insufficient, and the Blood Lambs that could be mass-produced needed more resources.

Harbor Village, the army stationed.

The craftsmen began to build ships, and the Great Knights also took off their armor, rolled up their sleeves, and started fishing.

There must be some powerful Calamity hidden in the depths of the ocean, but no matter what, the fact that it had not reached the land meant that this place might be far from the deep-sea entity, beyond its sphere of influence.

Just some deep-sea scraps were enough to support the operation of the underground Blood Lambs farm.

The bloodthirsty Calamity fish were easy to catch. As long as the flesh was dropped into the water, many could be caught at once, often with a dozen fish biting onto one piece of meat.

A large number of fish carrying the scent of calamity were delivered to the underground Blood Lambs breeding farm, catalyzing their rapid growth.

More and more Blood Lambs successfully evolved into Calamities, and the emergence of Calamities led to the appearance of the Calamity Shadow Region, which made the hatching speed of the Calamity-grade Blood Lambs accelerate as if a fast-forward button had been pressed.

No loss of control had occurred yet, but Lind had already collapsed the entrance to the underground. Now, the only way to enter was through the "Magic Circle of Teleportation".

After referencing many underground magic circles, Dome successfully researched a one-way teleportation magic circle that required a great deal of energy each time it was used to open a portal.

At this stage, Lind could support the energy consumption just by charging it with Great Knights.

Preventing the Blood Lambs from escaping was the highest priority.

Interestingly, those former Newbie Villages had developed a different kind of scenery.

Not just Harbor Village, Lind slowly realized that the former Newbie Villages had their merits as well, like Holy Water Town, Cazhen Town, and Persimmon Town; whether it was Persimmon Town’s soilless cultivation project, Cazhen Town’s clay used to make pottery that’s more durable and better to use, or the new traces of Dog-mouthed people found in Holy Water Town.

He couldn’t give up these advantageous resources.

They just so happened to solve the problem of excess human resources.

Without the market of the Undead, production slowed down, and with more and more people becoming pregnant and giving birth, the population was increasing. Lind had a lot to consider.

Among the various human resources, management talent was the hardest work problem to solve. Lind himself couldn’t bear to let those with management abilities go farm soillessly or take up swords and enter the battlefield.

So he sent these people out to rebuild on the old sites of the former Newbie Villages, constructing roads to connect the Newbie Villages with Star Dragon City.

Departing from Star Dragon City’s self-sufficient state, Lind allowed the surrounding villages to form a resource cycle with Star Dragon City.

This operation method wasn’t suitable for Mountain Demon Castle.

Firstly, Mountain Demon Castle was too far from Star Dragon City for many to travel between the two, so there was basically no exchange of human resources. Using teleportation magic was too costly and hence unfit.

Secondly, the people of Mountain Demon Castle weren’t fanatically worshipping Lind like those in Star Dragon City; they were numb and indifferent to the rise of any lord.

Unable to provide sufficient work and food, Lind couldn’t quickly change their attitude. Therefore, he could only continue using the policy that Mountain Demon Castle had used before, slowly figuring it out.

Rand 123rd year, the fourth year after the Ring of Magic shattered, May.

Time hurried by.

During this period, Lind’s strength might seem unchanged, but in reality, he had fully mastered the Noble power within his second heartbeat.

All the Soldiers under Lind were equipped with Mystic Rune gear, from head to toe, including arrows fitted with high damage, penetration, or area explosion effect arrowheads.

Moreover, according to each person’s different talents, he strictly divided them into different types of combat squads.

Now, with this power, Lind was confident that a 10-man squad could use some tactics to slaughter the knights at the meat market if they were to enter Mountain Demon Castle again.

Understand the power of money-backed warriors!

The successful breeding of Wizards also excited him, despite the extremely low birth rate of Wizards.

Early in the morning, Lind rode his horse towards Thorn City. With the overall increase in strength, he and Queen Rania would discuss the next steps in development, whether to ignore Raven City and go straight for Goliath or to make a probing move on Raven City first.

The Black Fire Brothers had now become Lind’s personal guards, and they were very satisfied with this job.

During this time, the Unclean Holy Grail of Dark Flame kept tempting him, but sadly the benefits offered were too few to interest Lind, who couldn’t accept the idea of using humans merely as a breeding ground for maggots.

Thorn City was in sight, and the guards at the gate immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Lind.

Suddenly, Lind’s vision flashed.

The long-forgotten "official website" popped up out of nowhere.

The official content was still on [Doomsday Magic Ring internal test version 2.01 update, increasing the number of open slots to 12,000 people, level cap raised to 20, update duration 1 day, please wait patiently for eligible players].

Lind had patiently almost forgotten about it.

The next moment, a tidal wave of forum posts rushed in.

[new! The update’s finished, let’s get online!]
