Free Web NovelChapter 872: Chapter 521: The Eccentric Artuso and Return to the Territory
Marie hasn’t been idle these days; the materials for the second Teleportation Array will soon be ready.
Zong Shen opened the [Building], selected the [Hundred Kilometer-level Teleportation Array], and the Teleportation Sub-array numbered 1.
It was placed on the rooftop of the second floor, where it was spacious and unrestricted in height.
After spending over ten minutes on the sub-array construction time, Zong Shen completed the construction of the Teleportation Sub-array.
"Reese, I’ll trouble you to make several trips to bring everyone back."
"You guys can return from this Teleportation Array."
"I’ll ride on Eagle."
Zong Shen looked up at Reese Ulysses.
This old, hag-like Intermediate Spatial Mage was also a very efficient person.
With a wave of the Magic Staff, she set up a Space Beacon here.
Then, with a flash of blue light, she disappeared from where she stood.
About five or six minutes later, a Teleportation Gate appeared beside Zong Shen.
This was her skill [Shadow Wormhole].
The wormhole portal connected from Baron Bezos’s castle to this place.
This is why she left a beacon before she departed.
A single flash can only bring one person along.
However, opening a wormhole can meet the needs of multiple people crossing.
Favide, Wenresa, and Doris successively traversed the wormhole.
Reese Ulysses was the last to appear.
As she exited, the wormhole began to twist, eventually returning to a void state.
With everyone present, Zong Shen came to the sub-array and chose to activate the Teleportation Array.
He possessed the highest control authority over the buildings.
Once he finalized the selection, the entire Teleportation Magic Array began to emit light
that covered a vast range.
After about five or six seconds, the positions of two regions were thoroughly connected.
The Teleportation Magic Array fully formed.
Distorted light and shadows began to appear in the middle.
"Go ahead."
"Reese, stay behind to take me back to the castle and then return yourself."
Zong Shen pointed to the Teleportation Array.
Wenresa and Doris helped support Favide as they were the first to enter.
The Teleportation Array will last for a period of time with each use.
It’s enough time for Reese to take him back to the castle and then come back.
Zong Shen watched as the warriors’ figures disappeared from where they stood.
Reese also grabbed his arm, using Flash to return him beside Eagle.
Afterwards, she gave Zong Shen a slight bow before flashing away, disappearing once again.
For safety assurance, Zong Shen specifically took out a Communication Crystal to contact Wenresa.
Receiving confirmation that they had returned to the territory, he then mounted Eagle.
The castle steward had already been informed, and he was reluctant to stay longer.
After gently patting Eagle’s neck, he instructed it to return to the territory.
Eagle was somewhat fatigued, letting out a not-so-loud cry.
Circling into the sky, it ascended to about three thousand meters high.
Once a direction was selected, it flew towards the outskirts.
Zong Shen realized it must be hungry.
However, there was no immediate rush.
Eagle’s massive size made crossing through the Teleportation Magic Array inconvenient.
But during a former return to the territory, Zong Shen had already left a Teleportation Gate Beacon.
Numbered 2.
Now it was the perfect time to activate and use it.
He had Eagle fly to an uninhabited area before opening the Teleportation Gate.
The convenience of Space Magic was self-evident.
Crossing through the Teleportation Gate, they returned to the territory.
Wenresa and Doris just arrived a few minutes earlier.
They let Eagle stop in the Inner City District of the territory.
Zong Shen took out a barrel of dried meat, pouring it all into its mouth.
By now, it was already past one o’clock in the morning.
The territory was extremely quiet.
Favide had been sent to the living area to rest.
In just two days, the scale of the territory’s buildings had expanded once again.
Neither Tier Two Houses nor Tier Three Stone Houses could be seen in the living area anymore.
They were all replaced by Tier Four Two-Story Stone Houses.
Compared to buildings of earlier tiers, these Two-Story Stone Houses had larger living spaces.
And more solid architectural structures.
Appearing more orderly and aesthetically pleasing.
Marie had constructed a total of 160 Two-Story Stone Houses, arranged in four rows.
In the territory’s Southeast District, they formed a chessboard-like square.
A main regional road ran through the center.
Each row also had small paths opened up.
The paths were half as wide as the main roads.
All roads were paved with thick stone slabs, possessing a certain Durability Value.
Along with the strengthening of [Artisan Divine Will], such stone-paved roads were sturdy enough for a fully loaded Burden-Bearer Mecha to crush over.
This was also a significant change.
Moreover, the Giant Wolf’s Nest, Low Temperature Cold Storage, and complete buildings like the Solid Stone Tower and Training Ground that Zong Shen previously obtained from a box were also built.
Zong Shen had yet to inspect the specifics.
After all, it was now the early hours of the morning.
He just took a cursory glance and had already noticed many changes.
Only two or three days had passed.
Without challenges, the territory’s infrastructure development speed was astonishing.
Besides the aforementioned changes,
the Northwest Agricultural and Livestock Area had also completed the construction of the [Tower of the Fields].
However, due to Zong Shen’s previous orders, the territory’s farming plans were temporarily halted.
At least until the Challenge Month was over.
During challenges, even with the protection of the [Tower of the Fields], it wasn’t feasible.
Not only climate challenges, but some combat-type challenges also affected the territory’s reclamation.
He knew the Challenge Month wasn’t continuous.
He simply ordered to wait for a challenge-free period to resume agricultural development.
The previous territory was built brick by brick personally arranged by him.
The current territory was handled by Marie, and he only needed to review it afterwards.
Thus, every return brought inexplicable feelings from the territory’s new changes.
After calming Eagle down, Zong Shen withdrew his gaze and returned to the Lord’s Small Tower.
Wenresa and Doris had already returned first.
Zong Shen had no plans for tonight either.
He only wished to wash up and then have a good sleep, leaving all concerns for tomorrow.
So he walked directly toward the Hot Spring Cottage, preparing to take a bath first.
