49 The Time Ruins Key! Upgrade The Gate of Summoning!
Zhou Zhou opened the Supreme Treasure Chest.
There was a green bronze key quietly placed inside.
An item information notification appeared.
[Treasure Name: Time Ruins Key]
[Treasure Grade: Green Bronze-Tier]
[Treasure Effect: Use the Time Ruins Key in an open space in the territory. You can activate a Green Bronze-Tier historical battle— The Time Ruins of the Defence of Indre!]
[Treasure Description: The source of the Time Ruins is unknown. When living beings participate in the Time Ruins and complete the Time Missions within, they can obtain the gift of time.]
[Note: This Time Ruins is an equipment-producing ruin. There is a high chance of producing conventional equipment (Black Iron-Tier, Green Bronze-Tier) and a small chance of producing the high-level soldier recruitment book— Elemental Archer Recruitment Book. There is a very small chance of producing a Hero Inheritance Secret Manual.]
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.
This Time Ruins Mystic Realm looked interesting…
Especially the Hero Inheritance Secret Manual.
That should be the most precious treasure in the entire Time Ruins from the probability of producing it…
I wonder what kind of treasure would that be? Zhou Zhou thought curiously.
A moment later.
An empty area in the Blazing Sun City.
This place was relatively far from the residential area of Blazing Sun City, and there were no buildings around. It was considered to be an undeveloped piece of land.
Zhou Zhou stood there and looked at the Time Ruins Key in his hand.
With a thought…
A line of golden text appeared.
Do you want to use the Time Ruins Key to open the door to the Time Ruins?
"Yes."
Zhou Zhou said.
The next second.
The green bronze key in his hand suddenly disintegrated into countless green bronze light spots, forming a green bronze door five meters tall and two meters wide in front of him.
Zhou Zhou looked at it in surprise.
A message from the door appeared.
[Time Ruins Name: The Defence of Indre]
[Grade: Green Bronze-Tier]
[Time Ruins Description: On September 16th, Year 10505 of the Supreme Calendar, nearly a thousand scarlet monsters launched a surprise attack on Indre Town, a town at the border of the Elven Empire. 13 Elven Elemental Archers guarding Indre Town caused huge casualties to the enemy. Nonetheless, this battle ended with the town falling. Countless Elven Empire higher-ups lamented at the sacrifice of these 13 Elven Elemental Archers.]
[Note One: This Time Ruins will automatically reset once a day for a new opportunity to enter!]
[Note Two: You can only bring a maximum of 100 subjects into this Time Ruins!]
[Note Three: You won't really die if you die in the Time Ruins, but you will fall into a weak state for 24 hours.]
"We'll go in and take a look when Zhang Cang and the others return tonight."
Zhou Zhou immediately thought after reading it.
In any case, they wouldn't really die so it wouldn't matter even if they failed.
He would bring the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Nezario in if all else failed.
Zhou Zhou did not believe that a White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade pure-blooded dragon could not even deal with a Green Bronze-Tier Time Relic.
Then, he returned to the Lord's courtyard to check the next level upgrade content.
[Construction Upgrade: 5,000 units of wood, 5,000 units of fine sand, 5,000 units of metal, 5,000 units of stone, 100 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, one Origin Crystal, one Green Bronze-Tier Territory Token!]
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.
This time, he needed a lot more materials to upgrade.
20,000 units for basic materials alone and also the need for one Origin Crystal!
It wasn't that bad since he had these two items.
However, he could not satisfy the need for the 100 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores and one Green Bronze-Tier Territory Token for the time being.
"I would still need to hunt down more Scarlet Lords to obtain 100 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores and one Green Bronze-Tier Territory Token…" Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
Probably very few human Lords would possess the Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores and Green Bronze-Tier Territory Tokens at this stage.
Only Scarlet Lords who had developed in the High Continent for an unknown period of time could provide him with these advancement materials.
He stopped thinking about it.
Zhou Zhou was not in a hurry to upgrade the Gate of Summoning.
Instead, he entered the Lord's courtyard first.
The ground in the huge lord's courtyard was flat, and a green brick path led from the door to the courtyard.
"We can grow some fruits and vegetables in this courtyard."
"Or some nice flowers and plants."
Zhou Zhou looked at the courtyard in front of him with a very satisfied expression.
Then, he left the Lord's courtyard and went to the Gate of Summoning.
[Do you want to upgrade the Gate of Summoning?]
"Yes!"
He said.
The Gate of Summoning lit up slightly before calming down.
A text notification appeared.
[Congratulations, your Gate of Summoning has been upgraded to a Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade building!]
[You can summon +10 subjects every day!]
[You will definitely summon three Professionals every day!]
[Prompt: Under the influence of the race's unique title, "Glory of the Pioneer I", the number of subjects you can summon every day has increased to 44!]
[You will definitely summon five Professionals every day!]
[And the professional levels of two of them will be the same as your territory level!]
"Not bad!"
"I can summon 44 subjects a day now!"
"And there will be at least five Professionals!"
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
This was a huge upgrade!
Then, he looked at the upgrade requirements to upgrade the Gate of Summoning to Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade.
[Construction Upgrade: 2,000 units of wood, 2,000 units of fine sand, 2,000 units of metal, 2,000 units of stone, 50 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores for the Territory Level to be upgraded to Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade!]
He still lacked the Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores.
Zhou Zhou pondered.
Even a regional Scarlet Lord would probably not be able to satisfy him with the requirement of so many Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores.
He had to find more sources of Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores.
He quickly thought of a source.
His Monster Ranch!
"Now that my territory has been upgraded…"
"The monster ranch should be able to nurture Green Bronze-Tier fog monsters, right?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou immediately went to look for Zhao Changshou who was building a warehouse then.
Seeing Zhou Zhou arrive, he asked the soldiers to continue working while he quickly walked up to Zhou Zhou.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Zhao Changshou said respectfully.
"Elder Zhao."
"I want to build the wall tomorrow."
"In addition, I plan to build a third monster ranch before tonight and upgrade all three monster ranches to Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade!"
"Can you do that?"
Zhou Zhou asked.
"Time is a little tight."
"I need to transfer all the people in the territory right now to help to complete it."
Elder Zhao frowned and thought for a while before saying.
"No problem!"
Zhou Zhou readily agreed.
Then, he took out the Black Iron-Tier building material, Sand Crystal, for Elder Zhao to see.
Elder Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw the sand crystal.
"Sand Crystal!?"
"Elder Zhao, you really know your stuff." Zhou Zhou smiled.
"I naturally recognize such practical building materials."
"In the past, many high-level buildings built under my auspices would be mixed with Sand Crystal to increase defense, resistance to earthquakes and enhance the habitability of the buildings."
"However, sand crystals originate from the desert and are scarce in production."
"In addition, many Scarlet Lords are rampant in the desert, and there are fewer and fewer adventurers who dare to explore the desert."
"Over the years, sand crystals have become rarer and rarer in the market."
"I didn't expect the Lord to have it here."
Zhao Changshou clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Our territory won't be lacking in sand crystals."
Zhou Zhou smiled.
He had already planned to open a Monster Ranch to nurture sandmen tonight.
When the time comes…
This Monster Ranch would be equivalent to a Sand Crystal mine that could produce endless Sand Crystals!
This way the Sand Crystals could be added to strengthen all the buildings in addition to the Wall!
It could be said that this Sand Crystal already occupied a rather important position in his territory development plan!
