Within the castle loomed a colossal creature adorned with wings.
It was impossible for Xiao Yianua to ignore its presence.
Yet, she bravely continued her advance into the interior.
What brings you here? By you scrutiniza who was clad in a professional ensemble resembling a corporate employee.
Her looks were rated at seven or 8 out of 10.
Yet the peculiar way she walked swaying slightly evoked a strange impression in by us mind.
How should one put it? It was reminiscent of a seductive figure in a uniform or perhaps a flirtatious office worker attempting to allure her superior.
The critical point was that Bayou's own physique was not male.
by you internally scoffed, realizing that being a student had its advantages.
Sometimes simply wearing a school uniform could yield an extra 500.
Master, I merely came to see you.
Your eagerness for me to construct the portal is undoubtedly to seek my assistance.
Xiaoinu accuded, her tone overly sweet.
Bayou<unk>s lips twitched involuntarily.
A wave of goosebumps crept over her.
Enough.
Let us maintain a civil discourse and spare me the discomfort.
Understood, master.
Upon noticing Bayou<unk>s displeasure, Xiao Yinshua quickly reverted to a more conventional demeanor, pondering internally.
Am I not charming enough? As she approached Bayou, only then did Xiao Yinshua dare to observe her more closely.
During her hurried approach, her gaze had been fixated on Shiao Bing, fearing that the creature might devour her hole.
With two braided pigtails at top her head and a white t-shirt paired with a petite skirt, she exuded youthful vibrancy, resembling a wealthy aerys rather than an orphan.
Xiaoin also noticed that Bayou possessed heterocchromatic eyes, a sight she had never encountered before.
"Master, what is that?" Xiao Yianua inquired softly, pointing at Xiao Bing, "A dragon.
Can you not discern that?" Bayu replied, perplexed at Xiao Yianua<unk>s ignorance of such a renowned creature from Western lore.
Foolish humans, Xiao Bing scoffed, having overheard their conversation.
After finishing its meal, it coiled its head upon the ground, shutting its eyes to rest.
To Xiao Linua s astonishment, the dragon could speak, and the most embarrassing part was that it had heard her.
Her heart raced wildly.
Bayou summoned a spectre, calling back the attendant monks and the skeletons engaged in tree felling and stone quarrying.
Subsequently, she led Ziao Li and Shua deeper into the castle where they sat and chatted idly, awaiting the return of the monks.
Once they were back, Bayu planned to assign them to assist Xiao Lianua and mining.
Master, what is this place? It feels so eerie.
Xiao Yianua suddenly recalled that she had yet to inquire about the location of Bayou<unk>s castle.
Marshall state at the juncture of the frigid snow mountains and the dark forest.
Ah, this isn't happening state anymore.
Xiao Yinshua never anticipated that she would traverse an entire continent.
She had heard tales from the dwarves that their exploration teams had never reached the borders of Hapne State in their lifetimes, which speaks volumes about the vastness of such a land.
Ah, esteemed leader, the upgraded town system has bestowed upon me this.
Xiao Yiani produced a shield-shaped flat token from her shirt pocket and handed it to Bayou.
Bayou, perplexed yet intrigued, accepted the token, which bore the inscription submit in the official language of the magical realm.
Bayou examined the token's information via the system.
Special item submission token owner Xiao Yinsua function allows the construction of an auxiliary castle within the territory of the affiliated lord with functionalities identical to the main castle.
Should the main castle be destroyed, as long as the auxiliary castle remains, the affiliated lord remains unaffected.
Usage conditions requires confirmation from the lord to whom one submits.
But he was taken back.
This item possessed intriguing qualities.
Its function was akin to the relocation tokens from by use past life in gaming.
Albeit not a complete relocation.
It permitted the construction of an auxiliary castle within by used town territory while preserving the original castle.
This must be a benefit granted by the system to these subordinate lords.
Considering that even in the event of the subordinate lord's demise, the affiliated lord remains unharmed.
The submission token thus allows them to possess two castles.
If an auxiliary castle could be erected within Bayou's town, it would serve as an additional layer of security.
If the outer castle were to be destroyed, the safety of Bayu s castle would still prevail.
In fact, constructing this auxiliary castle adjacent to the esteemed leader castle would be the most secure option.
If the auxiliary castle were to fall, it would indicate dire straits for the leader.
Upon the leader's demise, the subservient would inevitably face demise as well.
This is indeed a remarkable item.
Bayou had not expected the system to facilitate such an arrangement, allowing for the relocation of the castle's position.
Esteemed leader, I wish to utilize this submission token.
This was after all Xiao Yianua's primary purpose in visiting Bayu's castle to discuss this matter as the construction of an auxiliary castle required by use confirmation.
Xiao Yinshi had no alternative.
The submission token served but one purpose either to be used or not.
Clearly utilizing it would yield only benefits for Xiao Yianshi.
Is it perilous on your end? By you inquired.
Not particularly.
My castle is nestled in the mountains, though not far from the dwarven kingdom's territory.
The dwarven kingdom is embroiled in civil war, and one can never predict when the flames of conflict may extend here.
Xiao Yianu expressed her concerns, for her troops were dwarves, and should the aristocrats of the dwarven kingdom discover her, it would spell disaster.
Those hotty dwarven nobles would never permit a foreign human to command their kin.
I have confirmed it.
Proceed as you see fit.
Protecting Xiao Yinshua was deemed necessary, and Bayu incurred no loss in doing so.
Furthermore, Xiao Yinshua was Bayu's sole source of iron ingots.
Relying solely on plunder was not a sustainable strategy.
Establishing one's own industry was essential for long-term growth.
Thank you, esteemed leader.
Xiao Yinuf felt a sense of joy, for her safety was now significantly assured.
However, the subordinate castle bore a disadvantage.
It had to be constructed within the territory of Bayou Town, which strictly classified it as merely an edifice within the town.
Consequently, this subordinate castle lacked its own territory and could not be upgraded.
Nonetheless, it did possess a subordinate barracks, allowing for the summoning of troops.
The barracks was only at level one and required further enhancement, sharing the cool down period with the main barracks.
The acolytes and skeletons had already gathered outside the castle.
ready to assist Xiao Lianua.
Her dwarves numbered merely around 200, while the assembled skeletons and acolytes outside by you totaled 200 as well.
Although skeletons could neither mine nor forge equipment, they were certainly capable of extracting stones, even at a slow pace.
Their relentless work for 24 hours could match the dwarf's 10-hour workload in a day.
Come, let's return to your castle.
I have gathered a group of helpers for you.
With these words, Bayou rose and walked outside, prompting Xiao Yinua to hastily follow suit as she too needed to return to the castle to procure resources for constructing the subordinate castle.
Chapter 106.
The Alliance command to forge the mightiest league.
Xiao Leua gaze at the skeletons outside the castle, appearing rather dim-witted and somewhat uncertain.
Do not underestimate them.
They possess the capability to toil tirelessly for 24 hours.
By you elucidated, seemingly perceiving Xiao Liianua's doubts.
24 hours non-stop.
How formidable, Xiao Liua remarked, ignoring her ambiguous words.
