Chapter 667 - 667 665 Upgrading the Demon Seeking Tower

Chapter 667: Chapter 665: Upgrading the Demon Seeking Tower Chapter 667: Chapter 665: Upgrading the Demon Seeking Tower The Shattered Frost Star, which grew more ominous with each passing day, hung over everyone’s heads like the Sword of Damocles.

No one knew what would happen next, but it was bound to be disastrous.

The Amber Council met almost daily to address the various crises that could arise after the descent of Frost Star and to draft various contingency plans to avoid oversights and prevent being caught off guard by a surprise assault from the Frost Snow Giants.

The remaining eighty-nine dragons had each opened up access to the Volcanic Realm, ensuring they could take refuge in the Amber Dreamland at critical moments to evade the attacks of the Frost Snow Giants.

Furthermore, nine Dragon Teams were formed, patrolling the borders of the nations in formation.

These nine Dragon Teams were currently protecting the Grand Duchies that had been overrun, overseeing the refugee migration work. They ensured that at the onset of Frost Star’s overlap with Dragon Star, the populations of these Grand Duchies would be fully transferred to neighboring countries.

In stark contrast to the perilous Dragon Sleep Continent was the harmony within the Amber Dreamland.

Eleven devastated Grand Duchies had discovered a total of sixteen Fairy Forests nearby. With Russell’s friendly persuasion, these fairies all joined the Amber Dreamland and became part of the Amber Central Region.

For this reason,

Russell demarcated sixteen temporary provinces on the edge of the Amber Central Region for these “immigrants” to settle in. Without food, they would forage from the dense primeval forests, and they would cut down trees to build their houses without homes.

Without roads, the more they walked, the more paths they made.

Additionally, a large group of scholars moved in with the migrants, having been indoctrinated with industrial knowledge, they could quickly lead the migrants to sprout the necessary seeds for industrialization in this primeval forest.

Once they got through the initial difficult period, they would be able to start from scratch and rebuild a new realm.

“Each country must provide magic power potions for these refugees, brought in by people with passes each time they enter or exit.”

Russell assigned tasks to the nations at the Amber Council.

Helping refugees was not just his duty alone; every country needed to contribute resources to assist the refugees.

People with passes could carry a small amount of belongings when entering and exiting the Amber Dreamland. Bulk items like food couldn’t be brought in, but things like seeds, tools, and magic power potions were allowed.

Simultaneously,

All countries were frantically searching for Fairy Forests, but only Russell, who had eaten the Swinging Wind Chimes, could accurately locate the fairies and persuade them to join the Amber Dreamland.

For this, the countries would pay him a fee for finding Fairy Forests, offering magic power potions, elves, metals, gems, and more.

Once the fairies joined, he could even shear a bit of wool from the fairies’ hands.

The blessings of these fairies were a variety of strange plant treasures, including Essenceberry Fruit, Elven Leaves, Lucky Four-Leaf Clovers, Swinging Wind Chimes, Enchanting Dragon Coleus Fruit, and so forth, all with marvelous functions.

But for Russell at the moment, however magical these plant treasures, they held no great significance.

They were better left to be passed down to his descendants.

With the massive search for Fairy Forests, countries soon began relocating their populations to their Volcanic Realms, preserving a spark of life there. In case of national demise, they could still hide in the Volcanic Realm and continue to thrive.

…

At the end of October, the Shattered Frost Star nearly dominated half the sky, like a colossal beast ready to devour the Dragon Sleep Continent.

Those with a fear of large objects dared not look up at the sky, afraid they might be triggered by accident.

The development of the Dreamshadow Flame Kingdom was not hindered by the impending overlap of the Shattered Frost Star. New factories were built one after another, and serfs from the estates flooded into the factories, gaining a new identity—workers.

To avoid confusion between the real world and the Amber Dreamland both having parts of the Dreamshadow Flame Kingdom,

The nation in the real world was renamed the Shadowflame Kingdom.

The Amber Central Region was renamed to the Dreamland Kingdom.

In official documents, it would continue to be collectively called the Dreamshadow Flame Kingdom, with separate references using the names Amber Central Region and Shadowflame Volcanic Oasis.

At this moment, in the south of the Shadowflame Kingdom, at the northernmost edge of the Cloud Dream Oasis in the Qinqiu Province, a massive demon-searching tower stood tall at the border. Its search range could radiate to the surrounding five hundred kilometers, preventing Frost Snow Giants from hiding undetected.

At the same time, this was a research tower.

Over thirty Grand Scholars from various countries, along with hundreds of scholars, gathered in this Demon-Hunting Tower to study its improvements.

The Ouroboros Uroboros coiled itself near the Demon-Hunting Tower, always guarding it.

Whenever the Frost Snow Giants Legion attacked and Russell was not around, it would communicate telepathically with the Little Dream Dragon, allowing the dragon to possess and fight.

By Uroboros’s side was the Dream-Eater Boar Tapir.

In daily life, Uroboros urged Tapir to train, striving to help it evolve into a Pseudo-Dragon. At the same time, it was patiently searching for an opportunity to break free from the confines of the Pseudo-Dragon and evolve into a Phantom Dragon.

“The power of the Frost Star Artifacts and the power of the Frostwood Weapons are fundamentally the same force,”

“But there is a clear difference in grade between them. The ice and snow power of the Frost Star Artifacts is infinitely pure, while the ice and snow power of the Frostwood Weapons is quite chaotic, on the same level as the Snow Troll’s Frost Star Bead.”

Inside the Demon-Hunting Tower, several Grand Scholars were studying a Frost Star Artifact.

Flying Dragon Knights stood guard nearby to prevent the scholars from accidentally triggering the artifact’s switch and being frozen into popsicles.

“The ice and snow power of the Frost Star Artifact is closer to the origin!”

“If we replace the power in the Demon-Hunting Tower with that of the Frost Star Artifact, triggering its resonance, can we locate the specific positions of the Frost Snow Giants?” a Grand Scholar wondered aloud.

“But most of the Frost Star Artifacts were taken away by His Majesty and handed over to the Amber Great Tree for destruction. Even if we rely on this Frost Star Artifact to build a special Demon-Hunting Tower, we can’t disseminate it across various nations.”

“No, we can understand its principle and then dismantle it into countless fragments. A single Demon-Hunting Tower only needs one fragment to operate!”

“Then let’s give it a try!”

The Grand Scholars quickly settled on a plan. What followed was an update and iteration of the Demon-Hunting Tower, allowing the Frost Star Artifact to replace magic power in sweeping the Snowfield.

In less than three days,

The core of the Demon-Hunting Tower was replaced with a Frost Star Artifact. A large group of knights with fighting spirit who were also artisans diligently followed the Grand Scholars’ instructions, replacing various components in and out and combining different formations.

Finally, in mid-November, as the ice age was approaching, the upgrade of the Demon-Hunting Tower was completed.

The chief Grand Scholar pressed the switch.

Hum!

The newly upgraded Demon-Hunting Tower slowly started to rotate, its basic magic array driven by magic power, which then activated the Frost Star Artifact, resonating with its ice and snow power. Ultimately, the ice and snow power spread to distant locations.

Whenever a Frost Snow Giant of the same origin appeared, the ice and snow power would feedback, subsequently locking onto the Frost Snow Giant’s position.

Hum!

The power of the Demon-Hunting Tower radiated.

Shortly on the map display, feedback appeared.

“Ah, this location is a thousand kilometers away, in the north at the Demon-Hunting Tower, where there is also a Frost Star Artifact!”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive!”

“Then let’s begin the comparative experiment and also get in touch with the northern Demon-Hunting Tower to synchronize the upgrade with the Frost Star Artifact at its core for a two-way test!”

The Grand Scholars plunged into a new bout of busyness.

Russell, who had just returned from the Fairy Forest in a foreign land, quickly learned of the Grand Scholars’ updates and iterations to the Demon-Hunting Tower.

So he rushed to the Demon-Hunting Tower, eager to personally experience its effectiveness, “If it works, I will smash the Frost Star Artifacts and bring them out to help build in various countries, to counterattack the Frost Snow Giants!”

He hoped to clear all the Frost Snow Giants lurking on the Snowfield before the convergence of the Frost Stars.
