Chapter 12

In addition to a massive amount of territory energy, a special material is also needed.

That material is very rare in the early stages.

"Let's first build a mysterious shop and buy some rice and vegetables to improve everyone's diet," Su Yu said.

Su Yu spent 5000 units of territory energy to construct a mysterious shop on an empty plot at the top of the desolate mountain.

The mysterious shop sells all kinds of strange and exotic items, which are automatically refreshed daily.

It can also be manually refreshed for 200 units of territory energy.

A small house covering 10 square meters rose from the ground,

with only one sales window and no door, looking like a small convenience store.

Su Yu stepped forward and looked at the items on sale.

Not finding anything he liked, he casually spent 200 units of territory energy to refresh the items.

With this refresh, he immediately let out a curse.

"Damn!"

A glowing crystal appeared in the sales list.

[Hero's Heart·Advanced]!

It can upgrade the Hero Hall and increase the territory's hero limit!

A second hero can now be recruited!

[Hero's Heart]

[Grade: Advanced]

[Effect: Upgrades the Hero Hall to a Hero Chamber, increases the maximum number of heroes in the territory by 1.]

[Price: 30,000 Territory Energy]

30,000 Territory Energy was a staggering amount.

However, it did not deter Su Yu.

With a surge of excitement, he gritted his teeth and purchased the [Hero's Heart].

If he missed this chance, the item would be refreshed tomorrow!

"Upgrade!"

The crystal stone radiating white light gradually dissipated,

transforming into a curtain of light that enveloped the house where Su Yu and Sylph slept.

The [Hero Hall] changed its appearance,

upgrading to the advanced-grade [Hero Chamber].

The dark brown floor, supported by four round wooden pillars,

featured intricate carvings and eaves on all sides.

Covering an area of 100 square meters, it nearly touched the nearby mysterious shop.

Gazing at the Hero Chamber, Su Yu was highly satisfied.

He casually built a cottage, increasing the population limit by 2,

then, with great excitement, he extended his hand and shouted:

"Recruit!"

Boom—

A thunderous sound,

suddenly erupted.

Resounding throughout the universe.

It drew the attention of all the working farmers in the territory,

even Sylph in the northern forest stopped, leaped to the treetops, and looked back.

The wind moved, the trees moved, the mountains moved,

No, it was the light moving.

A white sun appeared in the sky,

outshining the original sun.

The entire world was bathed in a blinding white light.

Light, an intense, overwhelming light.

The white light shone upon the [Hero Chamber].

Then, like glass, it shattered,

and a graceful figure emerged from the broken light.

All the light in the world converged on her.

Forming a set of silver-white armor.

She was entirely white,

her six wings were white.

Even her hair and eyes were white.

[Obtained a "Mythical" hero unit — Mythical Angel of Light]

[Mythical Angel of Light: Noah Elothi]

[Level: 1]

[Combat Power: 100]

[Skills: Holy Light, Light Guardian, Holy Sword of Light]

[Loyalty: 70 "Duty-bound"]

An… angel?!

The angel race is one of the supreme races in the multiverse.

To actually obtain a mythical… angel?

Su Yu found it hard to believe.

"Greetings… my lord."

Elothi gazed down at Su Yu, frowning slightly.

[Due to your dazed expression, Noah Elothi is very disappointed. Loyalty -1, current loyalty: 69.]

[Noah Elothi's loyalty has dropped from "Duty-bound" to "Neglectful".]

?

Su Yu was momentarily confused, what was going on?

Elothi's wings dissipated into white light, and she stood on the ground, surveying the surroundings of the territory.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.

[Due to the barrenness of your territory, Noah Elothi is very disappointed. Loyalty -1, current loyalty: 68.]

"This… angel?"

Su Yu couldn't help but speak up; if he didn't do something soon,

and if a mythic angel's loyalty dropped below 60 and she defected,

he would be crying too late.

"Lord, what is it?" Ilody glanced at Su Yu with a cool expression,

her silver pupils giving her an unapproachable look.

Silve, also a mythic hero, had called him "my lord" right after being recruited.

What about you?

Ilody's attitude made Su Yu feel like complaining.

How was he supposed to get along with this… ice-cold angel?

Should he just give up and recruit a new one?

Su Yu was a bit reluctant.

Not to mention that the conditions for recruiting a new hero were very strict,

A mythic angel, how could she be so easily abandoned?

Moreover, it seemed she was a flying unit.

He would have to put in more effort and get along with her well.

He needed to show the same level of attention he had when he first met Sylph!

He must not let his guard down with others just because of Sylph's gentleness!

Su Yu's expression turned serious as he said, "The territory is newly established. Please explore the surrounding mist and kill the monsters."

Hearing this, Ilody looked at Su Yu indifferently.

Su Yu also looked at Ilody, his gaze unwavering.

The two stared at each other, eyes locked.

Until beads of cold sweat began to form on Su Yu's forehead.

Ilody said lightly, "I refuse."

"Why?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

It was usually when loyalty was low that a subject would refuse their lord,

and the lord's orders had touched their bottom line.

Is asking you to kill some monsters already touching your bottom line?

"These ants are not worthy of my efforts," Ilody shook her head.

"..." Su Yu was speechless.

This mythic angel of light really was...

Not worthy of your efforts?

This bottom line... was truly arrogant.

Suddenly, Su Yu thought of the demonic flame dark dragon lurking outside Bai Bai Xiaowei's territory to the northwest.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

He was somewhat eager to see how this mythic angel of light would fare against the demonic flame dark dragon.

Just then,

an unexpected change occurred.

The Level 5 arrow defense tower in the territory suddenly boomed with a loud noise!

One after another, arrows shot out, slicing through the air, flying toward the distant sky.

What was happening?

Su Yu was stunned for a moment.

Ilody, on the other hand, looked surprised, staring intently at the arrow defense tower.

Oh?

Such a powerful force of rules in a territory of such insignificant beings?

[Because of the strength of your territory, Noah Ilody is satisfied. Loyalty +10, current loyalty: 78.]

[Noah Ilody's loyalty has increased from "Slacking" to "Dedicated to Duty."]

What was going on with this woman?

Su Yu looked at the cold beauty angel beside him, who, despite her expressionless face, exuded arrogance and nobility, and felt a sense of oddness.

————

(Ilody stood there holding a sign, her six white wings trembling slightly behind her. The sign read 'Flowers'.

"Please... dear readers, give me a flower... If, if possible, some comments would be even better."

"I am deeply grateful!"

She bowed deeply, and a blush spread from her ears to her fair neck under her silver hair.)
