Chapter 24 - Hidden Danger in this Peace?

Black Forest was always shrouded in fog, which made all the Mages who lived in the area feel the dark days and the loss of time. Every day, regardless of whether it was night or day, the place was dark, and it was impossible to tell time.

Inside Black Forest, half of the territory was no longer under Blake’s jurisdiction but under the new owner, Ronald.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out. In this quiet environment, it was exceptionally ear-piercing.

“Hurry up, don’t waste time,” Alpha shouted impatiently to his men. A group of human-shaped creatures made of plants carried wooden planks, stone slabs, iron bars, and other materials to the skeleton of a castle ahead. These human-shaped creatures were naturally made by Blake with his elemental power.

This castle naturally belonged to Ronald. And Alpha, Delta, and even Blake himself had come here to help.

If they wanted to build a good relationship with Ronald, they naturally could not be aloof. Instead, they had to be very enthusiastic.

On the other side, Ronald was smiling and lying on a soft chair, leisurely watching the scene of Alpha instructing the planter to help him build the castle.

Beside him, Gina wore a pure white dress that made her look cute and attractive, especially with her devilishly and beautiful body. It was impossible to resist her adorable face.

“How long will it take to finish?” Ronald narrowed his eyes and asked.

“About a week,” Gina said after thinking for a while. Building a castle in a week was already very efficient.

Now, with the previous castle of Black Forest as the dividing line, Deathly Silence was Ronald’s territory. Even Blake didn’t dare to step into this place without permission.

“A week, huh? I can still afford to wait,” said Ronald with a slight smirk. His eyes darted around, taking in the eerie surroundings. There was nothing but the sound of a castle being constructed.

He listened closely, and the sound of the breeze blowing and the rustling of leaves was especially eerie. There was a castle, a beautiful woman waiting on him, and followers helping him with some trivial matters. It was as if Ronald was living like a local tyrant.

Up ahead, the manpower and resources needed to build the castle were abundant. Basically, any material could be collected in Black Forest. Occasionally, there would be abandoned merchant ships drifting over from the beach near the sea.

Perhaps there were many treasures in these merchant ships waiting for people to discover them.

“Where’s Sword Demon?” Ronald looked around but did not see him.

“He’s practicing his swordsmanship,” Gina said respectfully, her red lips parted.

“He’s really hard-working. It’s a pity that I can’t give him pointers.” Ronald smiled and shook his head. His swordsmanship had been modified by the modifier, so he was instantly standing at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, he was unable to give Sword Demon any pointers regarding many swordsmanship insights. Although his swordsmanship was very strong, it did not mean that he had comprehended it very deeply. In fact, compared to Sword Demon, his comprehension of swordsmanship was not as profound.

However, with the modifier, he had directly modified his own level of swordsmanship and reached the pinnacle.

“Any news from the outside world?” Ronald continued to ask.

“The news about you has already caused the entire East Continent to boil over. Mystic Fire has issued a bounty of 30 million to arrest you.

“Other than that, I didn’t hear anything else. I think it’s because you’re so powerful that they don’t dare to act recklessly.” Gina said everything she knew without thinking.

“30 million? They really think highly of me!” Ronald said with a smile.

30 million was not a small amount. In the East Continent, this bounty could make a person rich instantly.

“Your name is almost all over the East Continent. However, many pirates still think that you are just a wild kid.

“They also said that you only borrowed some kind of special power, and won’t last long.

“Those bastards are too much. They have no idea how powerful you are! If I see them, I’ll rip their mouths apart!” Gina bit her red lips.

“Haha, what do their words have to do with me? I don’t need to prove anything. I just need to be at ease.” Ronald laughed out loud. He put his hands together and caressed Gina’s smooth face.

Being wanted by Mystic Fire was a fact. As for what others said, he wouldn’t care.

If he needed to prove himself as a wanted criminal, wouldn’t he be a fool? However, sooner or later, these people would understand how ridiculous their words were!

However, from the looks of it, Ronald was not ready to explore the continent yet. He would rest for a few months before deciding on what to do next.
