《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 166: An Incomparably Massive City!
Advertisement
As everyone knew, in the game, if one wanted to build their own territory, they had to first build a guild. After forming an organization, they could build their own guild territory.
However, up until now, there had not been any [Guild Establishment Token] in "Divine Realm". Those so-called large guilds had not actually obtained the recognition of the game. That was just a crowd that they had gathered using practical methods.
Therefore, the matter of creating a territory was even further away.
Of course, it was necessary to choose an area as the base of the future territory.
After all, every map had a different situation. These regional problems would affect the future of the territory.
After thinking about this problem, he immediately realized that the ruins of "Cold Desolate Dragon City" were the best location to create a guild territory.
This was because it was close to the Lake of Death and belonged to the region of high-level monsters. After the players' levels increased in the future, this region would be the mainstream leveling area.
Moreover, this place was four to five days away from Iron Skull City, so it was difficult for the players to obtain supplies.
Therefore, as a territory, the Cold Desolate Dragon City had a huge business opportunity.
In addition, Cold Desolate Dragon City could also provide a two-way magic circle to connect with Iron Skull City. The days spent getting there would be reduced to seconds.
As the owner, Lorne could collect some toll fees from it.
He believed that these players would not waste time on traveling for the sake of their level advantage. Therefore, even if Lorne's price was slightly higher, they would not give up on this choice.
"If I can make this my territory, that would be incredible!"
Looking at the surrounding scene, Lorne revealed a greedy expression. If he could treat this Dragon City Ruins as the prototype of his territory, he would definitely be able to save a lot of materials.

After all, the range of this Cold Desolate Dragon City was so huge, and the materials used to build it were beyond the expectations of the players.
Just the path paved with rocks and bricks underground required a large amount of money. After all, this was a ground facility that even Iron Skull City did not have.
"In that case, I have to get a Guild Establishment Token and City Creation Token as soon as possible."
Lorne had his next goal in mind, and he placed it very high.
This area was an unoccupied area. If other players found this place and occupied it before him, he would not know where to cry.
…
Then, Lorne checked the contents of the [Blueprint].
In the end, he realized that his horizons had limited his imagination.
It turned out that this place was not the main area of the Cold Desolate Dragon City. The entrance they had just entered was only a passageway that was specially used by the Cold Desolate Dragon City to transport materials.
The region he was in was actually only the workshop area of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.
Due to the huge size of the dragons, they were considered combat troops and were not good at building. Therefore, they would let other races do many things regarding buildings.
Therefore, this workshop area was where the vassals of the dragons worked.
Seeing this, Lorne did not know what to say. It was only a workshop area, but it was already so grand. Perhaps only the dragons had such confidence.
"According to the map, this should be the alchemy workshop…"
Lorne looked through the map of the relevant area and found that this was only the alchemy workshop area. Due to the need to farm, there was also a medicinal field near the workshop.
Unfortunately, when Lorne arrived at the medicinal field, he did not see any other herbs, only red flowers everywhere.

These red flowers should have grown later and were not specially planted.
Lorne could not know their true identities, so he could only leave the area for the time being.
Then, he looked at the other facilities in the workshop area.
Lorne discovered that every "subclass" had a dedicated workshop.
For example, "Forging Workshop", "Alchemy Workshop", "Mining Workshop", and others.
Moreover, all the workshops had a huge area. According to Lorne's current estimation of the area, the area alone should exceed 2,000 hectares.
As for the other positions, the initial estimation should exceed 40,000 hectares.
This size was beyond Lorne's imagination.
After all, this was only a fortress that resisted the Dark Abyss. Under the construction of the dragon, it was actually so huge.
Moreover, this was only a shrunken blueprint. According to the first Dragon of Light, this city should be several times larger.
However, Lorne quickly discovered another problem.
Although the map showed that the area of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was so huge, in reality, after ten thousand years, there had already been a huge change inside.
Most of the main cities were assimilated by the mountains. Countless giant trees and rocks destroyed the main body of the Dragon City, and the range of destruction was very large.
According to Lorne's observations on the cliff, at least a third of the ancient Cold Desolate Dragon City had been assimilated by the mountain range.
Especially at the outer city wall, the situation was even worse.
The total length of the city wall of Cold Desolate Dragon City was 16,000 kilometers, and the portion that collapsed was 6,000 kilometers.
This was a hopeless project to restore.
This was because the wall of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was 70 meters thick and more than 50 meters high. It was truly an impregnable fortress.
To repair this huge wall, even a large guild with 100,000 players would need at least ten years to complete it.
Lorne was alone.
If he really wanted this Dragon City Ruins to be his guild's territory, then the problem just now was his future work.
To be honest, this was definitely an impossible mission.
At the very least, he could not do it alone.
However, Lorne did not have to work on it himself.
After all, as long as he had money, he would definitely be able to find someone to work for him. As the number one player in the world, it was too easy for him to obtain resources.
In the deal with the One-Eyed Giant Snake, Mora, he had obtained 6,000 lake pearls, all of which were wealth.
In addition, in Walter's cave, he had also obtained 3,000 Dragon Race Night Pearls, which were also a huge amount of wealth.
However, that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the players.
If he could connect the teleportation array of Cold Desolate Dragon City and Iron Skull City first, at that time, he would be able to obtain an endless amount of wealth and manpower.
For low-level players, as long as they used some high-level equipment, they could be used as labor to repair the city wall.
Therefore, the only thing that Lorne needed to worry about was the materials needed to build the city. The materials used in this city were very expensive. If he spent money to buy them, it would be an astronomical figure.

I do not want that for you.” The Heavens created the Realm of Man and saved it from the eternal silence of the Void - once.

Raegn hoped to be written into legend alongside the stories that inspired him since childhood, yet the scouting skirmishes and small battles that have been fought since the time of his forefathers offer little chance at glory. When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.

8 211The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.
