Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Soul Crystals Also Have Veins

"Hmph, a little sweet talk wouldn’t hurt, men..."

Qin Lan began instructing the Skeleton Labor with a cold face. Fang Jie felt speechless and found Qin Lan’s behavior very strange today — she normally wouldn’t lift a finger for this kind of work.

But he let it go and decided to hand it over to some professional Skeleton Hero laborers to adjust.

After all, there are specialists in every trade, and Qin Lan indeed wasn’t as good as these Skeleton Labor in specifics of construction.

Qin Lan was also annoyed; she had only some hunches and had tried to probe with her comments, not expecting them to be true. She had been prepared for a long time and had never considered the Fox Clan as competitors.

Yet, the feeling of being beaten to the punch wasn’t pleasant, especially by non-humans.

Besides, being from Earth, the instinctive disdain and repulsion toward the idea of someone she liked getting involved with the Fox Clan were quite strong. But in this world, it seemed she couldn’t really say anything about it.

Haven’t you seen how many such topics are already plenty in the discussion forums?

Because of men’s mentality and perhaps some women’s too, many concepts have fundamentally changed. It even seems to some that this is the normal state of things.

Qin Lan was utterly confused and felt like she needed to cool off.

However, the construction of this stronghold was moving very quickly, with the city walls being the first to be built. Basing on the Fortress, such constructions were swift, plus several Death Energy Towers provided protection — it usually posed no issue.

With a Grave Guardian Demon Spider stationed in the center, and no traps laid around it, the security of this place was very high.

To take it down, one would likely need an elite team with at least five or six Gold-tier troops, and even to keep casualties minimal, this number would have to be multiplied several times.

After which, taking it down would be pointless, and it would only draw hostility.

So large a force would certainly alarm many. They would be discovered before they could even arrive, and as they passed through various sea areas, they would have to explain themselves or risk being treated as invaders.

Once the walls were built, they obscured what was inside from everyone else.

"Why build the walls first? Is all this secrecy really necessary?" someone outside grumbled discontentedly.

"It’s because of the Fortress. How do you build Functional Buildings without fortifying first? It’s not our Territory. Do you think they can place a Lord Mansion in every stronghold?" Some were more knowledgeable about these things.

"How do you know so much?"

The one who just spoke proudly said, "Because I have many friends, some of whom just became Lords of otherworld powers recently. That’s how I know, unlike you who are uneducated."

"Alright, enough bickering. Look around at those."

Just as the two seemed ready to come to blows, someone nearby quickly drew their attention elsewhere.

Indeed, the interior was hidden by the walls, but they could see the exterior harbor. To fully utilize the small island, Fang Jie simultaneously built two harbors close by.

These were special buildings certified by the World Laws, not something any common harbor could compare to.

"With these two harbors, the transportation convenience here in the future will likely surpass the original harbor island. They really miscalculated." Someone sighed.

"They did miscalculate. It’s said that they originally planned to build there, but they refused for fear of losing business. Now, they don’t even have to worry about losing business — they’ve lost their livelihoods."

"One wonders what their faces will look like later, whether they will initiate an attack."

Indeed, their strength wasn’t bad — after all, the port city had been wealthy for many years and had trained many troops. But compared to genuine combat powers, it was far from enough.

"It will be interesting if a fight breaks out. We can see how well they protect their strongholds. I heard there’s a powerful Gold-level presence inside for protection; not sure how true that is."

After all, Gold-level wasn’t something typical troops could achieve, and even Lords couldn’t produce many. If each stronghold needed such protection, they would hardly have any forces left for themselves.

For a top-tier power, it seemed unnecessary and very foolish.

But this new power truly left them uncertain.

While the harbor was being built outside, inside, a warehouse and a pit for ten thousand were also under construction.

Above the pit for ten thousand, there was a flat-topped grave mound with steps and flower beds being constructed. It would never be recognized for what it was unless someone could see through the ground.

And around the flower beds, Fang Jie had placed several Magic Arrays to serve as barriers.

They were not of a high level, but piercing them noiselessly wouldn’t be easy. To protect a grave with such measures was indeed overkill.

One would think that anyone capable of seeing through it wouldn’t reveal themselves over such a matter.

However, while the pit for a hundred was being built, Qin Lan couldn’t take it any longer and found an excuse to leave.

With Fang Jie staying, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Constructing buildings and upgrading them wouldn’t even take a day in total.

"My Lord, there’s a situation." Before the construction was fully completed, a Skeleton Hero ran up to Fang Jie.

"What’s the matter? Which side are you from?" With so many Heroes around, Fang Jie couldn’t keep track of them all.

"I’m from Lord Fang Hao’s side, previously stationed on Quisha Island. Our exploration of Quisha Island has led to the discovery of a soul crystal vein."

Fang Jie was startled, "A soul crystal vein? There are veins for soul crystals?"

No wonder Fang Jie was surprised; soul crystals were crucial Resources for creating White Bone Griffin Knights, which could usually only be synthesized via the Lord Mansion. He hadn’t expected them to naturally occur in veins.

Synthesizing soul crystals was time-consuming, but with a vein, his White Bone Griffin Knights would surge in number. In terms of quantity, they could easily crush the Skeleton Flying Dragons.

If in the future, he had tens of thousands in his Golden Flying Team, Fang Jie would have the confidence to take on any force head-on.

"Excellent. I’ll head there immediately. I’ll leave this place to you." Fang Jie said to the Hero in charge here and then made his way to the newly built warehouse. Using the Teleportation Array inside, he teleported directly to Quisha Island.

Thinking back, since he had conquered Quisha Island, this was actually Fang Jie’s first personal visit. There, the cleanup battle was still not over, and Fang Hao was busy clearing out Zombies hidden throughout the island every day.
