Everyone Has a Castle: I Choose Elves to be in My Army - Chapter 38

This time, he exterminated the horned dragon group.

Gale obtained a blueprint, an Origin Crystal, and 44 Origin Edges in total.

Among which, he was very happy to obtain the blueprints.

Next would be the Origin Crystal.

Including the four Origin Crystals he had obtained earlier, Gale had five Origin Crystals on hand.

It had already met one of the requirements for his barracks to be upgraded to the next stage.

What he lacked now was no longer Origin Crystals, but Origin Edges.

As long as he obtained close to 120 more Origin Edges, Gale could upgrade the military building.

“The Nightmare Team is still hunting monsters, so there’s still a possibility of being able to promote my military building today.”

Gale’s mind was still filled with the notifications of monsters being killed.

By tomorrow at the latest, he would be able to upgrade the military building.

This would be a huge improvement for the entire castle, since it would increases the random probability of drawing more than one unit each time.

The previous upgrade had allowed Gale to obtain the powerful twin angels Angel of Darkness and Angel of Sacred Light.

(Author is probably talking about the upgrade which allows the barracks to spawn more than 1 unit each time, since his original lv 1 barracks only restricted him to summon 1 unique unit each time.)

Gale was looking forward to the promotion.

He did not know what kind of changes to the battle units this improvement would bring him.

For a random battle unit building like his….

Anything was possible.

In fact, if he was lucky, he could even summon a God Tier army in one go!

If so, Gale’s goal would no longer be to develop his castle, but to immediately bring out his troops to rampage in the Endless Lands.

However, it seemed like this scene could only stay in his dreams for the time being.

“We’ll find out tomorrow.”

After collecting his thoughts, Gale stored the Origin Edges and Origin Crystals into the storehouse.

This extermination of the horned dragon group brought more than just these benefits.

Deconstructing the carcasses of the horned dragon brought Gale a lot of valuable materials.

Dragon claws, dragon skin, dragon fangs, dragon bones…

These were all loot produced from the horned dragon.

For creatures such as the Dragon Race…

The materials must be expensive.

Without exception, all the obtained materials were thrown to Natalie, who was forging equipment.

These materials could only show their value in equipment.

Natalie could use these materials to create stronger and higher grade equipment.

Equipment made from such materials would immediately cause an uproar when placed on sale.

Gale could even imagine what would happen the day the equipment went up for sale.

The more he sold, the more he would earn.

This was a transaction that would not incur any losses.

When the Beast Tide arrived, equipment would be what most Castle Lords lacked.

Anyone who wanted to stay alive would think of methods and ways to get hold of the equipment sold.

This was just like the food shortage period.

Now, Natalie was the only one who had mastered the method of forging equipment and weapons.

Furthermore, Gale was already working with her.

In other words…

Such a big piece of cake was basically only shared amongst the two of them.

And Gale was even taking the majority share.

It was enough to earn him a huge amount of resources.

It had to be said that Gale was quite sensitive to business opportunities.

These earned resources would become the castle’s foundation.

The stored resources were not only used to upgrade the castle, and also reserved for emergencies.

Once the protection period was over, anything could happen.

The native factions would gradually surface, revealing their hidden fangs.

Thus, Gale had to be ready for anything.

If one was only slightly stronger than the native forces, it would be a protracted battle.

At that point, resources will become very important.

After Gale had unpacked and arranged everything.

He took out the last item he had obtained from the horned dragons.

The moment the blueprint appeared.

The notification sounded.

[An unknown blueprint discovered. Do you want to appraise it?]

“Identify!”

Gale was still a little apprehensive.

When identifying blueprints, the result would depend completely on his own luck.

Gale roughly understood the nature of blueprints from [World Chat].

Blueprints could be divided into: construction blueprints, equipment blueprints and special blueprints.

Currently, only these three categories were known.

As for the rest, Gale would slowly explore if there were more possibilities in the future.

Not only were there different types of blueprints, but there were also different levels.

Level: Low, Intermediate, High.

Just like the blueprints, these were the only known ones.

Was there anything higher?

There was no way to know.

From this, Gale also knew the blueprints Natalie had obtained.

All three were classified under the construction blueprints category.

As time for the appraisal passed, Gale’s mood for more anxious.

This was the first blueprint he had obtained. He did not know what kind nor what level it was.

Everything was unknown.

“The blueprint comes from a Tier 8 horned dragon. It shouldn’t be too low.”

Gale consoled himself.

At this moment, an azure blue light shot out from the blueprint.

This was a skill that every Castle Lord had: Identify.

The brief moment seemed to take forever. The only sounds were Gale’s heavy breathing.

As the light vanished….

The blueprint changed.

Gale focused on it, making the virtual interface pop up.

A virtual panel appeared in front of him.

[Advanced Construction Blueprint — Shrine of Sacred Light]

[Effect 1: Increase the Castle residents’ loyalty to the Castle Lord]

[Effect 2: Increase the attack and defense of the castle battle units by 10%]

[Effect 3: Increase the rate at which the Castle Lord gathers Faith Energy]

[Construction requirements: 30,000 units of wood, 10,000 units of stone, 5,000 units of pure iron]

“Advanced construction blueprint!”

Gale shouted in excitement.

Today was definitely his lucky day.

His first blueprint was actually a high-level blueprint.

Most importantly, this construction that the blueprint described had three functions!

Gale began to examine them one by one.

The first effect was automatically ignored by him.

This effect was definitely a treasure to the other castle lords, but for Gale that had a locked Loyalty meter, it was rubbish.

The second effect was to increase the attack and defense of his battle units.

It could greatly increase the combat ability of his units!

“Good effect.”

Gale wished he could create the Shrine of Sacred Light immediately.

With this thing, facing a beast tide or whatever would be fine as long as they had numbers!

“As for the third effect…..”

Gale wasn’t sure what the third effect was for.

Since it had appeared above, he would definitely find out in the future.

What would come would come. Gale was in no hurry.

Perhaps it had something to do with the fight for supremacy in the Endless Lands.

However, Gale soon became depressed again.

If he were to build the Shrine of Sacred Light, his plan to upgrade the Advanced castle to an Elementary town would be stalled for a while.

The reason was simple. Gale did not have enough resources at the moment, thus he could only choose one of the two buildings.

“Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Gale shook his head and temporarily put away the blueprint.

Tomorrow was the date for the equipment sales.

By then, if the materials exchanged were enough, he could upgrade and build at the same time.

If the resources gained were not enough, he would then consider.

Anyway, the blueprint was right here, and it could not run away.
