Chapter 73: System Transfer (1/2)

The Underground Hideout of Lancaster had become completely different from when the Rotten Bones Church had taken over it.

Other than the Lifestone that the players had erected during the event, most of the underground rooms had been modified into Xi Wei’s special facilities. For example, there were crops that didn’t require sunlight and only water to grow called Night Paddy, inns that could recover the players’ HP quickly and a restaurant like the one in the Unnamed Town.

The reason why such facilities appeared in the Underground Hideout of Lancaster was because after it had been recaptured, Princess Leah obtained an Overlord System which was similar to Angora’s, becoming the only player to have dual systems and be able to switch between them at any time.

Unfortunately, Princess Leah herself preferred RPG games instead of management games, so she always fled to the Unnamed Town together with her guards.

When Princess Leah knew about the new event quest from one of her guards that she had posted at the Unnamed Town for this very purpose, she immediately started preparing rations and equipment so that she could head out for the rumored frogmen village.

After all, she only showed her face for a while at the end of the event last time, so she couldn’t even be considered as participating in the event, only acting as an NPC. Now that this chance came around, she couldn’t hold in her desire to join an event herself this time!

Before she could get to the Lifestone to teleport away, however, she was blocked by the registrar who was already lying in wait.

“Your Highness, you’re already the lord of the Underground Hideout of Lancaster! You must settle down and build a great stronghold here!” Old Registrar Vanke started persuading her again. “After all, this is the starting point of Tierra’s revival, and the last territory we must not lose!”

“Isn’t there still the town?”

The young princess that was still looking for a chance to escape asked.

“That’s not necessarily true, Your Highness.” The old man continued with a meaningful tone. “The lord of that town is a noble from the Valla Empire, you see?”

What he meant by that was obvious. Even though the Unnamed Town was built based on the belief of the God of Games, but Angora was still, in essence, a noble from the Valla Empire, which was one of the countries that participated in dividing Tierra in the first place.

“Is that so…? But that’s okay, I believe the Valla Empire wouldn’t allow their nobles to believe in the God of Games, no?” The young princess thought for a bit, before refuting the registrar’s claim.

What she meant, was that Angora’s faith was also his greatest weakness in a way, and she could completely treat the former as an ally because of it.

“Perhaps, but even so, I beseech Your Highness to not act too rash so that the Underground Hideout of Lancaster does not lose to that town, please prioritize the growth of the hideout.”

The registrar was quite satisfied with the young princess’ refutal, because it meant that she was carefully considering everything, but even so, he wasn’t planning on letting Princess Leah join that event any time soon.

If it were just a dungeon or exploring the Valley of the Tragic Dead that didn’t take a lot of time, he would be able to allow some exceptions, but it wasn’t the same for events.

From the information of the players that had come here for their daily quests, these events spanned a few days, and the event this time was at the Warty Tidal Flats that were even farther than the Unnamed Town, so the princess would have to spend a lot of time there.

This meant that in the meantime, the growth of the Underground Hideout of Lancaster would stagnate for a few days, which was obviously extremely detrimental to development.

Princess Leah became silent.

Just as Vanke thought that the young princess had listened to his words, the latter spoke up again.
