Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs-Chapter 24

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Tyrell and Barr went out to hunt wild monsters, Mike had nothing to do.

He did not need to train himself.

With his troops hunting wild monsters, he could share experience and level up.

Besides, he did not know how to train himself.

Maybe he should hunt wild monsters!

Forget it, he was afraid of death!

This was something that many Castle Lords would not choose to do.

After thinking about it.

Mike scrolled through the world chat channel, learning about the current situation of the Castle Lord and information about the Otherworld Continent.

At the same time, he chatted with the little loli in the underground world to relieve his boredom.

Lin Yaoyao was very happy.

She chatted nonstop in her friends’ messages.

First, she asked Mike if he had a girlfriend and where he was from before he descended.

Then, she reported to Mike about the progress of the gray dwarfs in forging fine iron and equipment.

Finally, the little loli complained to Mike.

Her gray dwarfs trampled a lot of mice to death and swatted a lot of small spiders to death.

However, they did not drop any blueprints. She was very sad.

But this also made Mike feel much better.

If the little loli could drop blueprints so easily, he would really doubt her relationship with the goddess of luck.

As for the [world chat channel].

It was still as lively as before.

Even if the billions of Castles Lords could only send one chat message every day, it was enough to make the world chat channel become very lively.

From the chat messages.

Mike also received a lot of keywords.

Fallen God Desert, Death Swamp, Kalami Plains, home of Nature Elves, Dragon Habitat, Ice Kingdom, and so on.

Among them, Mike also found that the Castle Lords mentioned Nirvana Forest.

This also clearly indicated a problem.

In this great forest, he was not the only Castle Lord. There were other castle forces.

This news was not good or bad for him.

With the current strength of the Dragon King Castle, it was enough to not fear any Castle Lord.

Once they came into contact, he had the initiative to decide whether to start a war.

Of course, even if they started a castle war, it would have to wait a few days until the Beast Tide activity was over.

Right now, all the Castle Lords were still under the protection of newbies.

The castle was invincible.

Even the gods were unable to break through.

…

It was almost noon.

Mike seemed to have thought of something.

He sent a message to the [world chat channel].

[Tomorrow, the trade channel will sell self-made equipment, forged by professional dwarven blacksmiths. The quality is guaranteed! The quantity is limited. If you want to buy it, hurry up. First Come, first served!]

Mike felt that he should not waste his popularity in the Castle Lord circles.

He needed to advertise.

In case the Castle Lord used up all his resources on the last day of the novice period in order to deal with the Beast Tide.

As soon as Mike’s news was uploaded, the world chat channel exploded.

It was more than ten times more lively than before.

Countless Castle Lords enthusiastically spoke up.

[Worshipping Big Brother Mike himself!]

[As expected of Big Brother Mike, starting to sell self-made equipment now, leading hundreds of millions of Castle Lords!]

[Self-made equipment?]

[Has big brother Mike found a way to forge equipment?]

[Please explain, big brother Mike, what are the prerequisites for forging equipment?]

[Don’t ask! Each person can only send one message a day, it’s useless to ask.]

[…]

[I guess that building blueprints are needed to forge equipment. For example, the blueprints for the ‘blacksmith’s shop’. First, there are buildings, then there are specialized blacksmiths. Finally, there are materials, so it should be possible to forge equipment.]

[That’s right!]

[I haven’t seen the blueprints until now.]

[I haven’t even dropped any equipment, let alone blueprints.]

Countless Castle Lords expressed their sadness and envy.

The drop rate of wild monsters in the Otherworld Continent was pitifully low.

The equipment did not drop at all.

The rarity of the blueprints was even higher than energy stones and strange crystals.

At this stage, the Castle Lords who were dropped blueprints were extremely rare.

Even Mike had no chance to see the blueprints.

How could he not envy the little loli in the underground world?

[Looking forward to the equipment sale tomorrow.]

[I’m already storing up resources. This time, I’ll grab a batch of equipment to equip my castle’s troops.]

[The Beast Tide is about to arrive. This batch of equipment is very crucial.]

[With the equipment, the troops’ strength will increase greatly. Not only can they withstand the beast tide, they can also increase their score and obtain better rewards! As long as they can grab the equipment, it will be a bloody profit.]

[If they can’t withstand the Beast Tide, they will be directly eliminated. Even if they have to risk their lives, they will still snatch the equipment!]

[You’re right!]

[I hope that big brother Mike will be able to sell more equipment this time.]

[If we have more equipment, we will have a greater chance of snatching it!]

Countless Castle Lords were in heated discussions.

They also prayed that Mike would be able to sell more equipment.

Regarding this, Mike also expressed his helplessness.

Time was too short.

The gray dwarves also needed time to forge equipment.

According to the equipment forging information provided by the little loli.

Under the condition of abundant monster materials, her gray dwarves did not sleep or rest. By the next day, they could at most forge 4,000 pieces of self-made equipment.

4,000 pieces of equipment.

It simply could not meet the needs of the Castle Lords.

It could even be said that even 400 million pieces of equipment would not be enough.

As long as he had 400 million pieces of equipment, he would be able to upgrade the Dragon King Castle to the Dragon King Town or even the Main City of the Dragon King.

It was a pity.

This could only be imagined.

Naturally, 4,000 pieces of equipment would be enough for Mike to make a fortune.

He might even be able to gather the resources to upgrade the Dragon King Town.

This would be a huge upgrade for his castle faction.

It was worth looking forward to.

“Today is the sixth day.”

“There will be another day.”

“The novice period has ended, and the castle’s protective barrier has disappeared.”

“The Beast Tide is coming.”

This was the first ‘official event’ that involved all the Castle Lords.

The Castle Lords who survived the Beast Tide event would officially embark on the competition of ten thousand races.

If he failed, he would be eliminated.

And those who performed well would be rewarded.

The higher the score, the more generous the reward.

In addition, there was only one special reward that belonged to the most powerful Castle Lord.

Mike’s goal was this special reward.

He was not worried that the Dragon King Castle would not be able to withstand the Beast Tide.

After all, if even he was eliminated, then the Beast Tide this time would definitely be a massacre for the billions of Castle Lords.

He believed that the ‘authorities’ would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.

With Tyrell and Barr’s strength, his chance of passing was as high as 99.9%.

What he was chasing after.

Was only the special reward that belonged to one person.

The only reward was definitely the best!
