Has Cyril lost his mind?” Fang Hao directly mentioned the name of the city lord and cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words instantly induced a tense expression in the landlady and others, not relaxing until they realized there were no other people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even behind closed doors, they dared not insult the current city lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We wouldn’t know, but several people came to the city yesterday, they might be related.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are very similar to those who wore hoods in broad daylight last time, all of them look like cultists.” said the landlady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Clan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao knew the cultists the landlady was referring to were those pale- blooded individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they could walk under the sun, they had begun to detest sunlight, always wearing huge hoods to cover their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Clan, because of Giovanni’s matter, had dispatched scouts to investigate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, what does all this have to do with Pruell City, and what role does Cyril play in it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you mean what you said last time?” The landlady suddenly turned around, her eyes looking straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What words?” Fang Hao was abruptly interrupted from his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t continue operating my tavern, I can help you.” The landlady’s expression was somewhat bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After operating it for so many years, she didn’t expect there would be a day she couldn’t continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.” Fang Hao’s store in Lyss City was in the process of hiring staff, she would be a good candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have quite a lot of people.” The landlady glanced at the bartender and the kitchen staff on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon encountering Fang Hao’s gaze, the bartenders respectfully bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They can come along too.” Fang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was overjoyed in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was a wealthy heir, by aligning with him, they didn’t have to worry about the tavern’s business anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Fang Hao would pay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when everyone, including the landlady, breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Hao spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, as the team leader, I need you to sign a slave contract with me, to ensure that you will not betray me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on the landlady and the bartenders’ faces vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen slave contracts before, slave traders would always bring out contracts when selling slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure that the slaves would not harm their masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, once you signed it, you had to obey the other party’s words, even if they asked you to do something against your will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you serious? I’m just going to help you run the shop.” said the landlady in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to sign a slave contract just to work a shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed a bit too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t help it, I need someone I can completely trust.” Fang Hao said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t disclose his secret, especially after discovering the Faceless Ones’ cabin beneath the tavern yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to be more careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, it seems we can’t cooperate.” The landlady said with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had refused Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t willing to sell herself just for this minor matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, she pondered over Fang Hao’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was a wealthy heir, his family must have some strict rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobles often have strange rules that they couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, even if we can’t cooperate, we are still friends, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties.” Fang Hao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his pint of beer, Fang Hao left the tavern with Anjia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the shop, Fang Hao took all the maidservants and soldiers, closed the shop, and headed back to their territory together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they returned to the territory, the sky was already dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating dinner prepared by Eira, Fang Hao took the sample clothes to the tailor’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca was pleased with the sample clothes, and minor modifications could be incorporated in the production of the finished product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the goldsmith was in the process of making the matching jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was already in order, so there was nothing for Fang Hao to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply had to wait for the finished product and present it to Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, early in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, Fang Hao, Anjia, and Demitrija rode on the bone dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following them, ten more bone dragons, loaded with skeleton trolls and the Barren Tomb Guards, soared into the clouds, heading south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today they were going to the Mountain Fortress, a new location on Fang Hao’s recently acquired map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name “fortress” sounded much better than any cave or cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao hoped he would find some useful items there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t need to worry about the villages below, and flew in a straight line to the fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the map, the Mountain Fortress was located to the east of Pruell City and Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey took two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team had already arrived over the uninhabited mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone dragons descended, gradually approaching the target location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see the remnants of stone brick buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued onwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao saw this time’s destination – the Mountain Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say, this fortress wasn’t hard to find. There was a large downward entrance between the rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the entrance, they could see piles of white bones, residual blood stains, and a large iron pot brewing food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were, however, no signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone dragons landed in front of the entrance and everyone dismounted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of creature uses such a large pot?” Anjia asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t notice how large the pot was until they landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pot was so tall, Anjia just managed to reach its midpoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’U find out when we go down, those guys must live here,” Fang Hao glanced at the depth of the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone staircase at the entrance went downward, flanked by neatly carved rock faces on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a good place to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demitrija, you’ll lead the team. Anjia, we’ll follow behind,” Fang Hao said and cast Frost Armor on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the distance, Fang Hao did not invoke God’s Presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming here personally reduced the consumption of spiritual power, but it also exposed him to danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you command, my lord,” Demitrija acknowledged and turned to the skeleton soldiers, “Skeleton trolls to the front, Barren Tomb Guards to the back. Prepare to enter the cavern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons, adjusting their formation, began to march into the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the team ventured deeper, nightstone wall lamps that emitted a soft glow began to appear on the sides of the cavern, illuminating the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Snoring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From not too far away, snoring resembling thunder was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a platform ahead, a towering troll was fast asleep on a beastskin rug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His snot bubble expanded and contracted with his snores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyclops Troll (Eighth Level).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demitrija signaled the skeleton team to stop. The entire team froze instantly as if they were statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demitrija drew the longsword from his belt and slowly approached the sleeping troll.\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-05-30T09:05:30.880Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","ac943056233fc1070bebd7fa74a683866ece7423fec226d971f0c96c40c9430e","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-259","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-257",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
