With the purchase of more than 3,000 slaves this time, the population of Haaland's territory is already close to 25,000.

There is enough food, plus the territory has not been destroyed by the orcs.

The fertility rate has been very good in recent years, at a little over 5% per year.

But there are still many projects that Richard needs to build, and 25,000 people are still far from Richard's goal.

After arriving at Sophia Fort, Richard gave the slaves a three-day rest.

Then they got a haircut, a bath, and a new set of clothes, and arranged for the slaves to build a castle near the iron mines.

Sophia Fort is now almost complete.

The castle was a little less work-intensive than Fort Wilhelm.

With the addition of the 3,000 new slaves, the army of builders in the territory has exceeded 5,000, and the strong labor force for building castles and roads accounts for almost half.

After the completion of the Iron Mountain Fort, the task of building the territory will gradually become easier.

Iron Mountain Fort is smaller in size, and the amount of work is less than half that of Sophia Castle.

It should be finished before the winter of this year.

After arranging the labor, Richard returned to Sophia Fort, and waited until the evening to close the curtains in his bedroom, and then quietly chanted the incantation in standard Mandarin, while inputting his spiritual power into the middle of the Starlight Bottle.

As the incantation was finished, a blue light bloomed on the Starlight Bottle, and Richard's spiritual power touched the Starlight Bottle, as if a blind man was touching an elephant, and he continued to input his spiritual power to wrap the entire Starlight Bottle.

Suddenly, he felt a suction force coming from the starlight bottle, wanting to suck his spiritual power into a special space.

This suction force is not particularly strong, and Richard can cut it off at any time.

Although Richard didn't know about this situation, at this critical moment, he didn't hesitate, and immediately let go of the control, allowing the spiritual power to be sucked in by the Starlight Bottle.

In an instant, Richard seemed to have arrived in a unique space.

The volume of the space is not particularly small, fifteen meters long, six meters wide, and five meters high, which is a very regular cuboid. The volume is four hundred and fifty cubic meters.

Such a large space equipment is relatively rare in the entire Dawn Continent.

At least in the Kingdom of Grant, Richard had never heard of such space equipment.

Four hundred and fifty cubic meters of space is enough to carry four hundred tons of grain.

Four hundred tons of grain can feed a complete corps for ten days, and with a little savings, it can be eaten for half a month.

Such space equipment is of great help to an army.

It can make a legion fight on the outside line, and the time can be extended by more than ten days.

Ten days is enough to change the situation and decide the outcome of a battle.

Even if it is a powerful force second to none like the Divine Radiance Empire and the Dawn Goddess Church, the space equipment of this size can be regarded as a heavyweight treasure.

In the entire Dawn Continent, it is estimated that there are no more than ten pieces of magic equipment in such a large space.

There was very little in the space, just a letter, a few books, and a necklace.

The book was written in Chinese characters, and Richard picked it up and looked at it.

It was discovered that the owner of the Starlight Vial was named Shao Gongyuan, who was born in 1920 and suddenly traveled into this world at the age of eighteen.

When Shao Gongyuan came to the Dawn Continent, it was still the era of wizard rule, and I don't know how many years have passed since now.

It is now the age of kingship, in May 3257 in the Dawn calendar.

There was also the Age of the Seven Gods before the Age of Kingship, and the Age of the Seven Gods was preceded by the Age of the Wizards.

Richard had also read some books that recorded anecdotes from the wizarding era, and it was rumored that wizards were natives of this world, and that the seven gods were alien gods.

The seven gods are all gods of the multiverse, and after coming to this world, they have fought dimensional wars with wizards for many years.

This battle lasted for thousands of years, and this time was the Age of the Seven Gods.

As for the wizarding era before the Age of the Seven Gods, I don't know how many years there were.

Of course, these rumors are recorded in some cult Bibles.

The Harland family happened to have a Bible on the Killing Church, and Richard knew a little about it.

After Shao Gongyuan came to this world, he carefully hid himself, his magic talent was very good, and he advanced to become a legendary wizard in less than fifty years.

It wasn't until he advanced to the legend that he realized that his crossing was not accidental.

It turned out that the cosmic walls of the two universes collided, causing an energy channel to appear in the two universes at a special time node.

This energy channel cannot pass through material power, but the power of the soul can.

Shao Gongyuan carefully searched for his companions from Earth and established a wizarding organization, the Starlight Alliance.

This secret organization will only accept its companions from Earth.

Although the Starlight Alliance is very secretive and does not develop any forces, there are also strong people in the wizarding organization of the Dawn Plane who are good at prophecy.

In particular, the wizard of fate, Morto, a god whose strength is comparable to that of many faces, actually found clues from the long river of fate, and began to capture the members of the starlight, wanting to use the souls of the members of the stars to conduct experiments and enter the space of the other universe.

According to Shao Gongyuan's letters, after Xinghui was exposed, there were only seventeen members in total.

Only three of them came from Huaxia, and most of them died at the hands of ancient wizards, and only two or three escaped from the Dawn Plane.

Shao Gongyuan speculated that the earthlings who crossed over that year may not be less than tens of thousands.

Some of these people have ordinary experiences, and eventually die of old age and disease, and some exhibit abnormalities and have been experimented on by wizards.

Shao Gongyuan only investigated an area for ten years before he discovered a traveler from Huaxia and saw the words carved by this person in Chinese characters.

According to the probability, there are probably many earth travelers who have entered the Dawn Continent.

But only seventeen of them have actually learned witchcraft and joined Starlight, and less than half of them have entered the legend.

The Starlight Vial is a legendary magical equipment made by Shao Gongyuan himself, and he also pioneered the opening spell in this magical equipment.

After Starlight was exposed, a powerful wizard personally took action to capture Shao Gongyuan.

Although Shao Gongyuan was very strong, unfortunately he was unlucky and finally died at the hands of this powerful wizard, and the bottle of starlight was reduced to the wizard's collection.

It's a pity that the wizard doesn't know Chinese and can't open the Starlight Bottle, and he is reluctant to violently destroy this precious legendary piece of equipment.

I don't know how many years have passed, and this thing coincidentally fell into the hands of the old mage.

The old mage studied for decades and found nothing, and was finally bought by Richard.

The bottle of starlight fell into the hands of a stranger by chance.

Shao Gongyuan left several books, one of which recorded the complete Xinghui meditation method.

This Xinghui meditation method has a total of seventeen layers, three layers of apprentice level, nine layers of professional level, four layers of legend level, and the last layer was even deduced to the god level by Shao Gongyuan, and after completing this step, it can bring about a complete transformation of life.

Master the power of the rules and gain eternal life as if the gods resisted.
