Chapter 1126: Chapter 299: Prelude to the Wedding’s Blade Flash

"According to Ruona, the natural space created by Seven-degree gold could be the Aegean Continent, or perhaps a hidden and enclosed location on another continent. Once the ring locks onto it, no one else can enter, and if we’re inside the Space Ring, we can’t penetrate that shielded place either, unless the ring is destroyed," Liu said with an astonished laugh. "Compared to ordinary hibernation spaces, the valuable part about Seven-degree gold lies in its clever use of the Main Material World’s natural resources to seal off an independent space for itself. It must be said, magic is truly amazing!"

"Richard, you seem to be understanding more and more now..." Elder Andulan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, looking at Old Liu with newfound respect.

"I’ve always understood this principle," Liu said unabashedly. "I am, after all, a priest of enlightenment! My dear Elder Andulan, would you please not treat me like a third-rate hoodlum?"

"My respected Your Highness," Mr. Jabbar, the penguin butler, emphasized the Overlord’s title with a heavy tone, glancing at the Beamon elders who had previously addressed the Overlord by name, before addressing the Overlord himself: "Please allow me to take my leave temporarily, as I need to check on the preparations for the wedding."

"You have been most diligent," Liu acknowledged with a nod to the ever-graceful butler, watching the permanently tailcoated Mr. Jabbar leave the tent with his head held high.

"Elders, please don’t mind, my butler is just like that—rigid, but in fact, his character is very upright and kind," Liu said, noting the suddenly awkward atmosphere and smiling at the elders. "Don’t be restrained, just call me Richard. I like it when you call me that, it’s more intimate! It’s been a few months since we last saw each other, is everything well at home?"

"Ah... not really," Elder Tang Jin of the Antelope Tribe sighed after taking a sip of buttered tea served by the lovely Mulan. "There have been way too many troubles lately! The fallen elves have already relocated half of their people to the surface, and in another two or three months, the relocation should be complete. But no one expected these fallen elves to start scouring the Cave Dwellers for surplus grain, and they’re doing it sweepingly, leaving nothing behind! The main forces we can mobilize have all been moved to the desert, Richard... Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"

"The fallen elves have come to the surface bare-armed; they neither farm nor have animal pens, they are planning for their future! Based on what I know about them, as long as the Wind Magic Teleportation Array is still there, they will definitely not give up the Underground World, it’s their free granary," Liu said, rubbing his temples with great irritation. "If it weren’t for the war in the desert, I would have taken care of them long ago! Damn it! They’re actually trying to control me with ’Bloody Mary,’ these guys are really asking for death!"

"So what do we do now? Do we just watch these Cave Dwellers get bullied by them?" Elder Andulan blinked his mung bean eyes and sighed, "If only I hadn’t sealed my own power. Ah... in times of trouble, I really feel somewhat powerless."

"How many troops does our Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps in the second line of Fei City have now?" Liu asked Luo Xi, the Captain squarely.

"There are four thousand now, boss!" Captain Luo Xi nodded respectfully.

"Where did so many people come from?" Liu was astonished. "I remember you only brought four hundred people with you, and with the less than two hundred Slave Warriors that I gave you, how has it expanded to so many people all of a sudden? Where did you get these troops from?"

"The one thousand five hundred Piegel herder families that Governor Rosenborg of the northeast agreed to relocate to Emerald arrived in succession, a total of over ten thousand people. Additionally, the Hobbit Halfling Tribe from the Bering Mountains has just migrated over, about five hundred people. I’ve also taken in some Beamon herders and roaming warriors who sought us out by reputation. Now, our combined population for Emerald and Sydney City has already surpassed twenty-five thousand," Elder Andulan added as a clarification. "That number only includes the seven tribes of the Antelope Tribe and the four Difeng Giant tribes from the Underground World, and it doesn’t include the Cave Dwellers."

"So that’s how it is... I didn’t expect such big changes in Emerald after being away for several months. You elders have worked hard," Liu realized, still a bit confused, he asked, "With so many people, how are their housing and food arranged?"

"I’ve arranged for the Piegel herders to stay in Gude’s territory of Sydney City. Adjacent to snow-capped mountains, with ample water and lush grass, it’s suitable for herding; the Hobbit Halflings were settled near Emerald’s main city. Recently, we’ve started to build kilns, learning to fire the green furnace bricks that you, Richard, had initially made in Razor Mountain. We plan to build houses with them around Emerald in the future." Elder Andulan said, laughing as he pointed at several strapping elders from the Antelope Tribe: "It’s fortunate to have these strong laborers leading the women of the Buer Tribe to help, otherwise setting up the kilns wouldn’t be easy."

"Firing green bricks? Heh, that’s something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time. Right, you could start kilns in Razor Mountain, where cutting wood is convenient, and there are still many human war criminals there, perfect for some heavy work instead of just cutting trees every day." Liu nodded. "But you need to keep this work secret, and not let others learn about it, especially the fallen elves! When using the green bricks for construction, you can use bamboo rice juice as mortar. You might ask the Elves for some of Rosenborg’s fortress blueprints, that kind of bunker-style building is very suitable for our Emerald!"
