Chapter 224: I’m Not Afraid of Curses, I’m Afraid of Being Poor

Lorne checked the map and quickly realized something.

The city wall and the city itself were in the wrong place.

In the design of the first Dragon of Light, Cold Desolate Dragon City was located at the northern border. It was both a fortress and an internal city. It was equivalent to guarding the border between the Empire and the Abyss.

The range of this fortress city was up to 30 kilometers in length, and up to 28 kilometers in width. The total area was 40,000 hectares, and the total length of the surrounding city wall was 160 kilometers.

The city that Lorne had seen in the Lake of Death was also this size. Of the 160-kilometer city wall, 60 kilometers had collapsed.

But at the time, Lorne had thought it was 16,000 kilometers!

This number was actually the total length of the outer city wall.

When the first Dragon of Light designed this blueprint, it was not only planned to build [Cold Desolate Dragon City], but it was also planned to build [Dragon’s Kingdom]. This “Dragon’s Kingdom” had an even larger city and an extremely long large city wall. It was prepared to envelop the entire territory controlled by the dragons.

Therefore, the total length of this city wall was 16,000 kilometers, and the total area was an astonishing 800 million hectares.

“No wonder I kept finding it strange…”

At that time, Lorne had a feeling that something was wrong. If the collapsed part was 6,000 kilometers long, he would definitely not be able to repair it. At the very least, he could not do it with the funds he had accumulated.

But if it was 60 kilometers, there was still hope.

With the materials in the city, it was enough to repair the collapsed area of 60 kilometers.

However, what was worth mentioning was that the wall was not actually the inner city wall of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

The huge city wall in the Cold Desolate Dragon City was actually a part of the outer city wall.

Back then, because of the geological change, the outer city wall had pushed down the inner city wall. The pile of rocks that he saw back then were actually building materials left behind from the collapse of the inner city wall.

“The outer city wall is 70 meters thick, 50 meters high, and 55 meters wide.”

“The inner city wall is 60 meters thick, 40 meters high, and 48 meters wide.”

“Now that the northern city wall has been replaced by the outer city wall, why don’t we also expand the other city walls to 70 meters thick?” Lorne thought.

At this moment, Rhett said, “Adventurer? Have you chosen?”

“Just now, I checked all the surrounding areas that could be chosen. Why is this area so strange?”

Regaining his senses, Lorne pointed at a black area on the map.

Previously, he had always been curious. There were corresponding prices in the available areas of other places, but only this area was pitch-black and the price was also ‘zero’!

“Adventurer, the ruins of the war is a cursed land, especially the region you’re referring to. Its location is too close to the Lake of Death. As an adventurer, you might not know this, but the Lake of Death is a neutral faction. Although it’s in the territory of Iron Skull City, it’s independent and is in a balanced position with Iron Skull City. In order to avoid conflict, the people of Iron Skull City basically won’t go to that area, much less build a camp there.”

“Therefore, young adventurer, I advise you not to waste your precious opportunity. Although that area does not need any gold coins, the main city built there will also be cursed and turn into a cursed city. Moreover, it is very likely to be mercilessly destroyed by the monsters. The abandoned expeditionary army camp is a lesson!” Commander Rhett explained earnestly.

“I’m not afraid of curses. I’m afraid of being poor.”

Lorne pointed at the edge of the Lake of Death and said, “Commander Rhett, I want to build a guild base here.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Lorne nodded.

“Alright.”

Commander Rhett sighed and said solemnly, “Since you have already decided, I won’t say anything. However, seeing that you have made such a contribution to Iron Skull City, let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to build your own territory in the ruins of the war, I think you need a Purification Crystal that can cleanse the target area. This way, you can eliminate the curse and move freely in that area.”

“Purification Crystal? Are we going to the Blacksmith Guild?”

The curse that Rhett had mentioned should be the undead aura in the ruins of the war. This negative buff could only be removed by the Purification Crystal or the antidote.

“No.” Commander Rhett shook his head and said, “The Purification Crystal made by the Blacksmith Guild is too limited. If you want a Purification Crystal that can purify the entire area, you have to go to the Gnome Mineral Company and let them specially forge a Giant Purification Crystal for you.”

“If you can do this, the expeditionary army of Iron Skull City will have a place to rest and save the time needed to go to the ruins of the war from Iron Skull City. In this way, the army of Iron Skull City can sweep through the ruins of the war on a large scale and completely cleanse the forest occupied by the undead!”

“I think so too. After all, that’s the area closest to the border in the north. As long as we don’t wipe it out, it will bring great trouble in the future when there’s a war.” Lorne quickly said righteously.

“That’s right!”

Commander Rhett looked at Lorne in relief, “Sweeping through the ruins of the war has always been the goal of Iron Skull City, but due to the many battles at the border, the various legions are unable to leave. After so many years, we have not been able to completely clear out that area. This has always worried me.”

“I did not expect you to have such ambition to develop your strength in that dangerous place. This is courage that even the generals of Iron Skull City do not have.”

“In that case, as the commander of Iron Skull City, I will support your every move. As long as you can cleanse the area and build the teleportation circle as soon as possible, I will send the army of Iron Skull City to help you quickly expand the city!”

Ding!

“Game Announcement: Commander of the Iron Skull City Army, Rhett, hereby assigns you a special mission: [Construction of the Guild Base]!”

“Mission details: Iron Skull City has the intention to sweep through the ruins of the war, but due to the long journey and the tense situation of the war, it has been unable to attack with all its might. Therefore, Commander-in-chief of the Iron Skull City Army, Rhett, hopes that you can build a city in the ruins of the war and complete the construction of the teleportation circle as soon as possible. After completing this mission, Rhett will use the army in Iron Skull City and provide some help in the construction materials to help you quickly expand the city.”

“Attention! Because your territory is in the ruins of the war, the city you build does not have to pay the land fees to Iron Skull City, regardless of its size!”
