Even though Auriana is still a second-level forest territory, it is not far from being promoted to third-level. The population of 1,000 has already been reached, and the only difference is that a few buildings have not been upgraded to the second-level level.
If it was before, it would be impossible for Dane to upgrade Auriana so quickly. The upgrade of several buildings, as well as the upgrade of the tree of life itself, requires a lot of resources. If all those resources are calculated as gold coins, it will cost about 30,000 yuan. Although, despite the fact that both Ghost Knife Port and Aurui Nai can start to make money, maintaining the territory itself is also costly. It is not bad that the two places can maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and the surplus is really not much. At that time, if Dane really wanted to get a quick sum of money, he would have to take risks in the underground world and get the idea of those black crystals.
But there is no need for it now. With such a large gift from Morno's inheritance, Dane already has enough financial resources to support the upgrade of Aurinadu, and there is no need to take risks in the underground world.
So far, Dane has only robbed it once in the underground, and Golobo has robbed it once privately. It seems that their luck is still good. The two robberies may have attracted the attention of those underground monsters, but they have not tried yet. Go to the ground to investigate—Shaco, who is guarding the entrance of the underground world, has not found a large number of faceless men approaching the entrance until now.
According to Dane's estimation, it is very possible that those faceless people in the underground world don't even know that there is such a hole leading to the surface! Otherwise, why would they not want to go to the ground to investigate after losing two transport teams? As for those faceless people who appeared on the ground, according to Dane's estimation, they may have come to the surface by running around.
The intelligence of the faceless is obviously very average. If they don't have their own special way of finding their way—such as smell—like some creatures, then it is normal for them to find their way back in the intricate underground world. From the time when Sacco, who guarded the entrance of the cave, only occasionally ran into some faceless men who came up in the experience of guarding the entrance of the cave, many things can make sense.
When Dane first set foot on this deserted island half a year ago, most of the four hundred or so faceless monsters on the island came from the ground to the surface in this way, and formed a settlement. A small leader.
This is a good thing, basically it means that as long as Dane guards the cave well and does not die below, and wipes out every faceless man who approaches the entrance of the cave, there should be no danger of being exposed.
Of course, this is just an ideal statement. If Dane runs out of money in the future, he will have to go down and get some black crystals to sell. It's just that he doesn't need it for the time being. He still doesn't lack money, so there's no need to take risks. The population of the dungeon where 20,000 faceless men gather is about the same as that of Rotten Wolf Town, Shawan Port, and White Wolf Fort combined. It's not something Dane can afford now. To deal with that dungeon, we still need a long-term plan.
Withdrawing his thoughts and having enough money, Dane directly pulled out more than 30 elves and started to invest in the upgrading of the new building.
Of course, there are priorities, and the first step to upgrade must be the Altar of Heroes. Dane is still waiting to upgrade his hero level so that he can build White Wolf Castle into a third-level base.
After pulling all the existing buildings of Auriana into the upgrade sequence and putting the Altar of Heroes as the highest priority sequence, he didn't do anything else, but went to the War Garden to practice martial arts.
He faintly felt that he was about to break through again.
I have to say that war is really exciting. When he was a mercenary in the past, he had never felt that his strength had improved so quickly when he used some insidious means to win, or fought under less pressure.
In more than half a year, he has been promoted from the fifth-level berserker before he came to the island to the current eighth-level, and he is close to breaking through.
It's still early now, and it might be late in the evening when Tommy receives the news and rushes over. This was almost an entire afternoon, and Dane didn't want to waste it.
In fact, he really hoped that in the afternoon, he could break through the last obstacle to his advancement. But unfortunately, although he felt that he had gone through the summary of the thorn training, and reviewed the battles of the nearly two months of the Eastern Expedition War, his understanding was deeper, but he was still so far away from the breakthrough. a little bit.
The difference is not the key point. Dane believes that as long as he persists in exercising in the next time and grasps this realization, it should be a matter of course to advance to level nine.
In the evening, he received the news that Tommy had arrived in Oriento. After tidying up a bit, he returned to the hall of the Tree of Life, sat on his seat, and began to listen to the reports from Farao and Tommy.
During the two people's reports, Dane basically figured out the current situation on Cormyr. After all, although the data viewed from the territory interface is very detailed, it cannot reflect all the situations.
The development of Aurinadu is relatively good, and the population of elves has exceeded 500 under the continuous attraction of the second-level divine guide tree tower. It's just that 250 of them are undergoing urgent training and have become sword dancers, and they are all in White Wolf Castle at this time. As for the other elves, some entered Ulrika's winery to work, and some started some handicraft workshops to make some elf-specific products.
Although the number of elves who love life is not large, the life circle of Auriana has become interesting. Small opera theaters, concert halls, and galleries have all been built. The production process of some artworks Emerge in the hands of the elves. According to Fal'o's estimation, although the output of these works of art is still very small, and the elves don't like to sell these things, but when the scale develops slightly in the future, these elf-style The sales of artworks put into human society should not be too bad.
At the same time, the sales performance of Ulrika's winery is also improving step by step. The newly produced Comilla wine is supplied on a monthly basis in a special storage method. In addition, the fresh fruit produced by the orchard built on the back of the Moon Well, which is preserved by Druids and transported to Shahaiwan Port, is also sold well. Adding these two aspects together, Aurinai's monthly income is It looks like about two thousand gold coins. (To be continued.)
