Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs-Chapter 5

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Congratulations on upgrading your Dragon King Castle to an intermediate castle!]

[Castle heart’s defense value has increased by three times!]

[Castle’s area of influence has expanded to 500 meters!]

[Your Dragon King Castle’s influence and reputation in the Otherworld Continent has increased by a large margin!]

[Special reminder: in the Nirvana Forest, your castle has is a rising star!]

…

Soon, the notification sound disappeared.

“It’s gone just like that?”

Mike waited for a while, hoping that there would be a substantial reward for upgrading the castle!

However, the result disappointed him a little.

After all, billions of Castle Lords had just landed in this foreign world, and many castle lords were still worried about food.

It was impossible for them to gather so much wood and stones in just a few hours.

Even Mike himself had traded for a large amount of wood and stones through food.

And Mike had reason to believe that he was the first to upgrade the castle.

“There’s no reward for this!”

Mike was a little disappointed.

Looking at his castle.

[Dragon King Castle]

[Current level: Intermediate castle]

[Next level: Advanced castle]

[Upgrade requirements: 10,000 units of wood and 7,000 units of stones]

[Ordinary building: Warehouse]

[Special building: Dragon nest]

[Current status: Invincible]

[Current faction: None]

…

I should really work hard to improve myself!

First, upgrade to an advanced castle, then upgrade to the dragon nest.

Now, there were 2,000 units of wood and 800 units of stones. It had only been a few hours since the beginning.

At the latest, the castle should be able to upgrade to an advanced castle by tomorrow.

There was still a long way to go!

What was the use of expanding the area of influence and that budding star.

Mike asked.

[All resources within the area of influence belong to the Castle Lord!]

[Without permission, foreign creatures intruded into the territory of the Lord of the castle. The troops under them will attack them on their own!]

[Rising star is the reflection of the influence and reputation of the castle!]

“The influence and reputation of the castle in an area can be divided into rising star, a little famous, famous near and far, celebrated, world-famous…]

[The higher the influence and reputation value!]

[The more attention it can attract the local forces on the other world continent!]

[When the influence and reputation value reach a certain level, there will be a certain probability that the local forces will come for it!]

[Of course, there will also be a certain probability of being attacked by the local forces!]

“So that’s how it is!”

Mike listened to the explanation of the notification.

He also understood that the forest he was currently in was called the Nirvana Forest, and he was a rising star in Nirvana Forest.

“However, showing myself off doesn’t seem to be good news.”

“Although increasing my reputation and influence can allow the local forces to seek refuge, I’ll still be attacked. This is a double-edged sword!”

He was not strong either. If there were local forces attacking him, things would really be a little bad.

With his level one strength, he could not stop them at all!

Moreover, a budding Dragon King Castle did not have the charm to attract a local force.

“Phew, no matter what, I have to grasp the seven-day novice protection period.”

“In that case, I can face these things calmly after seven days!”

The materials needed to upgrade the castle could be obtained by trading food, but the upgrade of the dragon’s nest required energy stones.

Right now, he only had 15 energy stones.

It seemed that he could not be idle for even a moment.

“Tyrell, how’s your strength now?”

“My Lord, I’m now a tier 2, level 8.”

“I’ll be able to reach tier 3 after killing a few more.” Tyrell felt Mike’s worry.

Tyrell continued to fly out of the castle, working even harder to kill monsters to increase his strength.

Time slowly passed, and it was night time.

Through the trade of food, the number of wood and stones in the warehouse gradually increased.

The number of wood and stones reached 8,000 and 3,000 units respectively.

The requirement to advance to the next level was two-thirds.

At this time, Tyrell had also advanced to tier 3.

He had also advanced from tier 1 to tier 1, level 6.

He had also obtained 26 energy stones, but strange crystals were still relatively rare, and he had not obtained a single one.

He was not too far away from upgrading the dragon’s nest.

If he worked hard tomorrow, the castle could also be upgraded.

At this time, a new announcement came from the [world chat channel] .

[World announcement — Special reminder (rough red)!!]

[Night falls, the blood moon rises into the sky, the evil power corrodes the entire Otherworld continent, the strength of monsters in the wild will increase by three times! Non-darkness-type, evil-type castle soldiers will have their strength reduced to different degrees!!!]

…

As soon as this announcement was sent out.

The world chat channel instantly exploded.

[No way! No way! The strength of the monsters in the wild has increased by three times. Are they crazy?!]

[Hehe, my army was already weak in the early stages. Now that the strength of the monsters has increased, are they going to let me live?!]

[Monsters in the wild: I’m very strong during the day, but I’m even stronger at night!]

[Hahaha, my army is the bloodthirsty demonic spider. I’m not affected at night at all!]

[Don’t show off, the monsters outside are three times stronger. Do you dare to go out?]

[What are you afraid of? My bloodthirsty demonic spider can stomp you to death!!]

[I’ll just smile and not say anything!!]

[I’m just interrupting. Does Big Mike still have any food to exchange?!]

[Yeah! I’m so hungry! I can exchange it for stones…]

[Ditto!]

…

The world chat channel kept refreshing.

It was still a popular topic.

At night, the Castle Lords did not dare to go out.

Tonight was also the first night they arrived in the foreign world, so the Castle Lords were naturally full of passion.

Mike raised his head to look at the sky.

A huge blood moon hung in the dark kky, and it was emitting a strange red light.

The forest outside the castle was also illuminated by the blood moon as if it was a ghost land. Moreover, the faint roars of beasts that came during the day gradually became clearer, making people shudder.

Mike Thought for a moment and decided to summon Tyrell back first.

He was worried that he would be in danger.

After all, the strength of monsters in the wild increased greatly at night. If he was injured, it would affect his strength.

At present, he only had this one branch of the army!

“My Lord.”

Tyrell returned to Mike’s side in a short while.

“Rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go hunt the monsters in the wild!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Tyrell was absolutely obedient to Mike’s commands.

“Can you shrink your body a Little?” Looking at the huge monster in front of him.

“Yes, my Lord.” Tyrell immediately shrunk his body.

He went back to the castle to rest.
