I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 619 - : Level 6 Manor

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Level 6 Manor

Everything that happened in the sickroom, Song Jian had been a bystander, not speaking a word, but he was also shocked in his heart. He knew that the City Lord’s life was constantly being consumed, and this was the loss of life energy, something no treatment could mend. To remedy this situation, perhaps only the Goddess of Life herself could intervene and make up for the City Lord’s loss of potential life.

However, even so, the City Lord still managed to deter all the high-level members of the City of Sin with his residual power. When he opened his mouth and made decisions, no one dared to object. It could be imagined that in the City of Sin, as long as the City Lord was there for even a day, no one would dare to have any strange thoughts.

The City Lord gave a few more instructions to Anna and Suravi, and then went to sleep. He did not ask Song Jian to avoid these matters, nor deliberately ask for his opinion, as if he didn’t exist.

Song Jian knew that although he was a Viscount of the City of Sin, such a status would not be worthy of the City Lord’s attention. The reason he could stay here was still because of Anna.

“Perhaps he already sees me as a similar character to Suravi,” Song Jian thought to himself.

In the following days, Anna had been staying in the City Lord Mansion. After casting “Sigh of the Goddess of Life,” Anna was now in the most vulnerable state. Besides being able to cast a few healing spells every day, she had no self-defense capabilities;

The City Lord Mansion was the safest place in the entire City of Sin, and Anna didn’t have to worry about herself here.

During these days, Anna had started to get involved in the City of Sin’s government affairs. Under Suravi’s assistance, Anna methodically undertook all the responsibilities and power of the City Lord, and things were slowly and steadily transitioning.

All of this was actually because the City Lord was backing her. Although his vitality points were decreasing day by day, and he was becoming more and more haggard, as long as he was there for a day, the City of Sin would be stable for a day. In this short period of time, Anna had to grow rapidly.

In these many days, Song Jian also didn’t sit idle. He borrowed all the books about Magic Rune Arrays in the City Lord Mansion and studied them carefully. His “Magic Rune Array” skill was rapidly improving;

A week later, Song Jian had finished reading all the books about Magic Rune Arrays, and his “Magic Rune Array” skill had been raised to Level 7, even able to set up some simple Magic Rune Arrays now.

On this day, Song Jian left the City Lord Mansion and returned to his own Viscount Mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, Suoen immediately came to meet him;

“My lord, you’re finally back.” A smile appeared on Suoen’s fuzzy face, seemingly very excited.

“Suo’en, have you completed the task I assigned to you?” Song Jian looked at Suoen and asked with interest.

“Yes, my lord. The materials you ordered to buy were really hard to find. I went to great lengths and asked many people to collect some.” Suoen smiled and handed Song Jian a small bag;

The bag was only palm-sized, light in the hand as if it had no weight at all, but Song Jian knew that this was a one-time storage bag. The magic materials he had ordered Suoen to buy for building the Transmission Array were all inside.

Once the items were taken out of the bag, the storage bag would be scrapped and could no longer be used. However, even so, such a storage bag still sold for more than 100,000 Doomsday Coins, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

Song Jian’s spirit dove into the bag and carefully checked the magic materials. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, nodding and saying, “Very good, Suoen, you’ve done a great job.”

Hearing the praise, Suoen’s face showed an embarrassed expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart;

This was the first thing Song Jian had arranged for him after he joined his service. If he hadn’t satisfied Song Jian with this task, he might have been driven out of the Viscount Mansion.

He was able to purchase these materials so smoothly on the black market this time, in part because of the contacts he had made previously, and also because everyone knew that he had joined a newly promoted Viscount of the City of Sin, and was now a popular figure.

Some large businessmen who had previously disregarded Suoen now even actively contacted him and provided him with supplies, making it easier for him to handle this task.

Now that he had the magic materials, he still needed to find a mage to build the Transmission Array. It should be known that with the current level of Song Jian’s “Magic Rune Array,” he could only set up a few small Magic Arrays at most. For a strategic Magic Array like the Transmission Array, one would need to have mastered the “Magic Rune Array” to be able to understand even the blueprint.

Since the task was completed, Song Jian prepared to return to Doomsday City. After all, that was where his foundation lay.

A few days later, Anna visited Song Jian’s Viscount Mansion;

“Song Jian, are you leaving the City of Sin?” The first thing Anna asked when she saw Song Jian was.

“I’ve been away from Doomsday City for too long; I should go back and check on it. I’m a little worried!” Song Jian spoke candidly. Ever since the cool-down time for the Territorial Expansion battle had been shortened in Doomsday City, there had been almost continuous warfare.

During the days he was away, Song Jian learned through his communicator that his Manor Castle had been upgraded to Level 6, even having built a Warrior Camp. He now had more than 300 warriors, and although their levels were only in the teens, they could still be upgraded.

Many players in the War Alliance used their Contribution Points to upgrade these warriors for their protection, as well as to increase the levels of the warriors recruited from the Warrior Camp, killing two birds with one stone.

However, if these warriors were killed during the hiring process, a large number of Contribution Points would be deducted, and if this happened too often, it would even affect the player’s evaluation within the War Alliance. In the worst case, they would be kicked out of the War Alliance.

Song Jian was already eager to see what his Level 6 Manor looked like;

“A Level 6 Manor has already reached the standard of upgrading to a City-Level Safe House, but to upgrade to a City-Level Safe House, special buildings need to be constructed first, and the Transmission Array is one of them,” Song Jian thought.

“Song Jian, I heard that you’ve been collecting magic materials for building a Transmission Array recently. Is there anything I can help with?” Anna asked.

Song Jian was taken aback, but soon understood. Suoen’s actions in purchasing materials were too conspicuous and certainly reached the ears of the City Lord Mansion. After all, these materials were all strategic restricted materials. Furthermore, without the tacit consent of the City Lord Mansion, it was doubtful that those merchants would dare to openly sell these materials to Song Jian.
