This is the seventh day of the Rock Lord's reign over the Dark Citadel.

In the past seven days, the forces of the Santarim and the Church of Shirek have been swept away inside the fortress, and the female president, Yufpe, has asked Antinoa and Alyssa to thoroughly reconnoiter the fortress and eliminate many traps that are not under the control of the alliance.

The Dark Ciep stands in the Sunset Mountains, an area that is also home to a large number of orcs, and, compared to other regional maps, there is another terrifying wilderness monster - the trolls.

As a result, a new round of sweeping activities began after the Rock Collar took control of the Dark Castle. Yuffie was busy organizing a sweep of the nearby mountains, which was also a precautionary measure, harvesting some of the breeding trolls, otherwise the Dark Citadel might face a sneak attack from the trolls in the near future.

"It's the third day since I came back from the Aether Plane......"

Charles emerges from a deep cave in the Sunset Mountains.

The cave smelled of blood, and Charles threw himself a recovery technique, and the blood stained with his armor and cloak vanished without a trace.

"It's time to go to the next cave." Ren Qingwu followed him, still dressed in a standard bard's attire, with a long sword pinned to his waist and a crossbow in his hand.

Ren Qingwu had already been promoted to level 13 two days ago, and Charles planned to spend a month dedicating Ren Qingwu to him, of course, during this period, he couldn't do nothing. The Priest's Six Rings Spell List had nearly 30 spells that he needed to spend time researching and learning, so in addition to leveling up and gaining experience, he also had to painstakingly learn divine arts.

However, as a priest who already owns a temple, Charles will be protected by Ogma in the temple, and his learning speed will be greatly improved, and if he can collect some lost ancient texts and win the favor of Ogma, the god father, then it is not impossible to master a few six-ring divine arts in an instant.

In short, after the establishment of the temple, it was impossible for Charles to seek the help of other high priests in the arts, in other words, he was now separated from each other, and had the same status as his mentor, Priest Lucia.

Charles and Ren Qingwu each rolled over and sat on a phantom pony and hurried to the next monster's lair.

Ren Qingwu watched enviously behind Charles as he hunted the flying gray silk cloak that shone dimly in the daylight, embroidery and glittering metal flakes dotted the surface.

From behind, the cloak resembles a curtain of deep space, full of mystery.

"A few days ago, you suddenly turned off the live broadcast, and you haven't started the live broadcast for so many days, so I guess you will lose a lot of fans all of a sudden." Ren Qingwu urged the Phantom Pony to speed up and catch up, keeping pace with Charles.

"What, is this a big deal?" Charles laughed and said he hadn't visited the forum for a few days since he came back.

"Of course." Ren Qingwu glanced at him with a slight disdain, "Originally, it was amazing enough for you to dig out an artifact ring in that half-plane, but before closing the live broadcast, you opened the legendary treasure chest bizarrely and got two legendary treasures, but the information was not announced, those viewers hated you to death, and they said on the forum one by one that the fans changed their ways, and the roads turned black." ”

Charles laughed.

He didn't deliberately sell Guan Zi to take revenge on the audience, but broadcast live for 10 hours, and he didn't stop talking during this period, even if he was an iron man, he couldn't bear it.

If the exploration of the astral realm can be divided into several stages, he will definitely be willing to broadcast it live in stages, the problem is that the duration of the 'Traveling to the Astral Boundary' spell is only two days, and he will be lost in the alien plane if he doesn't finish it in one go.

"You have to be mentally prepared." Ren Qingwu stared at him with helpless and disgusted eyes, "The next time the broadcast starts, a large group of sunspots and trolls will definitely be coming." You're messing with a lot of people anyway. ”

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Charles said casually, opening his equipment slot, and looking at the harvest of the previous two days in the Aether Plane with great satisfaction.

As a legendary treasure, this cloak lives up to its name.

Not to mention the two attributes of [Transposition] and [Void Form], the third [Traveling Spiritual Realm] is equivalent to a nine-ring spell, and the cloak has no equipment conditions, if it has many conditions like the secondary artifact ring, the charr is really painful.

In addition to the Cloak of Nothingness, he also got a copy of the 'Secret Book of Yaling'.

"[Yaling Secret Codex]

Type: Strange Things

Quality: Gold Legendary

Description: This book records the cultivation process of a legendary swordsman of Yaling in detail, if you are practicing a certain elite school martial art, then congratulations, you have obtained a priceless treasure. Read the books and defeat each opponent whose energy materializes and you'll be rewarded with unexpected rewards. ”

Charles glanced at his backpack space.

A white diamond-shaped hedron was lying quietly inside.

Is this a book? Charles had been researching how to use it for the past two days, but no matter how much he tried to figure it out, nothing would happen to the white diamond hedron. He guessed that there were certain conditions required to open the book, possibly the blood of Yaling. So, Charles plans to make a trip to Silvermoon City to meet the aristocratic girl Cathy.

While leading Ren Qing Dance to level up, Charles did not forget to build a territory.

The Santarim forces in Sunset Mountain were uprooted, the Rock Collar took control of the Dark Castle, and a nail nailed to his heart was pulled out, and he was naturally thinking about what to do next.

In the evening of the same day.

Sending Ren Qingwu back to the Dark Castle, Charles directly opened the teleportation technique and came to the upper reaches of the Chongsa River in the Xitu region.

"This teleportation deviation is acceptable."

Charr looked up at the river trading city of Iliaba not far away, densely packed with river boats, small but dexterous fishing boats shuttling in between, and the afterglow of the sun spilling over the land, a calm and peaceful scene.

At least, in contrast to the 'Decameron Hell' a while ago, Iliaba is now under the management of the Ipgil family, and has returned to its former order and calm.

He decided to go to Ilya Bari and then meet the matriarch Delori.

The guards at the gates of the city gave him a respectful look at the passer-by dressed as a priest, and did not interrogate or prevent him from entering the city.

The neat and spacious main street stretches out in front of you, leading straight to the center of Iliaba's administration, with pedestrians moving in an orderly manner on both sides of the street, and cars and horses in the middle of the road. Charles quickly discovered a detail after his observation, the middle area of the main street was finally no longer the exclusive domain of the wealthy merchants, and many professionals and foreign mercenaries, either on horseback or in car, were not stopped and expelled by the city guards.

"It seems that DeLori has stripped some of the privileges of the wealthy merchants." Charles nodded secretly.

In the past, Eliaba was a businessman, and the atmosphere was too strong.

A city can be commercially prosperous, but it cannot infinitely elevate the status of merchants. This is the world of swords and sorcery, and at the end of the day, strength is the only way to truly earn respect. If the Ipugil family wants to rule Eliaba for a long time, they will not rely on a group of big businessmen, but on their own armed forces and iron skills.

As darkness progresses, Charles meets Deloree at the Archon's Mansion.

The matriarch heard the report from the family guards and hurriedly walked down from the second floor.

"Just arrived?" Delori asked with a relaxed expression, called the maid to serve tea, and sat casually on the sofa opposite Charles.

She was dressed in scholar's loungewear, her long blonde hair tied with a red ribbon tied in her mind, and her pretty face wore an approachable smile. As a business tycoon and head of the clan in Waterdeep, DeLori's talents shine just as brightly as her beauty.

"I stopped by for a while." Charles nodded, "The atmosphere in Iliaba is very good right now. ”

As if complimented, the corners of Deloree's mouth curled and said, "The Ipugil family will continue to work hard." Recently we have been trying to work with the Edas Church, which has a high influence in the lower middle and lower Eliabas and stabilized them is equivalent to stabilizing the lower classes of Eliaba. ”

"Very good!" Charles' eyes lit up.

The group of followers of the spring and the goddess of peace, Adas, are deeply remembered by the Charles, especially the young paladin Angelina, and if they can be made to serve the city willingly, it means that Ipugil has a firm foothold in Iliaba.

Charles' return to Eliaba was not to catch up with the matriarch.

After a brief greeting, he went straight to the point: "How's the matter of the dockyard and the fleet going?" ”

"In progress, Aramil has rushed to Irip on the coast of the Dragon, where he is going to buy a piece of land near the sea to build a dock and a port for the fleet to be stationed, but our purchase draft has been rejected by Mayor Irip, and now Alamir's assistants are negotiating with Mayor Irip......"

At the mention of this, DeLori's face turned ugly.

"Troublesome?" Charles was slightly stunned.

As far as he knew, Irip was just a small city with a population of a few thousand on the Dragon's Coast, and Irip's strong seizure of Eliaba should have spread in this area, and the mayor of Irip had no reason to refuse.

"According to the intelligence, Irip seems to be controlled by the Dragon Witch Cult." Delori said.

"Simon, Avanetor and the Harper's Alliance, will allow the Dragonwitch Cult to sit on the Dragon's Shore?" Charles frowned.

Irip is not far from the mouth of the Thun River into the Dragon Lake, and if the city is controlled by the Dragonwitch, then even if the Rock Territory dredges the Thun River and successfully establishes an inland waterway, this route will always face the threat of the Dragonwitch.

This has just removed the stumbling block of the Santalin Society, and the second stumbling block has reappeared...... (To be continued.) )
