Chapter 394 – Half a Main City (2/2)

Snatching the box, Architect Lin replied with scorn, “Have you ever seen a master architect who gets to his position by cutting corners? Although this is only the resource for half of a main city, it’s more than enough for the defensive structures; it’s not like we need to build all the houses.”

Fatty now understood. Half a main city mentioned in the imperial decree included everything in the city, such as streets, restaurants, teahouses, and other facilities. But leaving out those things for now and only building war facilities would save a lot.

Cradling the brocade box to his chest, Architect Lin turned to leave, but after two steps, he then turned back around to say, “Your Lordship, you should start looking for an energy source, or else we won’t do with just buildings.”

Here came the headaches again. Magic stones weren’t something that could be found if you wished for it. If it hadn’t it been for the magic stone vein being in the Demon world, it simply wouldn’t have fallen into Fatty’s hands.

“Aren't you going to the Mountain of Flames to find the Fire Phoenix for the Fire Codex? There’s a vein of magic stones right there,” said West.

“You think I can get it right under the nose of the Fire Phoenix in its territory?” Fatty looked displeased.

“What if you do it with this?” West pointed toward the sky and drew a circle with his hand.

“You mean to drive Sky City there?” Fatty suddenly realized. “Brother, I didn't think you could be so smart. Lord Vermillion Bird was so right to seal you in the Fire Valley and save so many people from your harm.”

At the mention of being suppressed in the Fire Valley, West’s face instantly turned upset.

Thanks to a spark of the Fire Origin, West had returned to the 8th enhancement and currently was moving towards the 9th enhancement – the Saint tier. If he succeeded, he would be able to exploit the power of the Fire Origin to reach the Celestial tier, and then whether he could advance to the Divine tier depended on his own efforts.

Speaking of which, Fatty remembered that he was now over level 80, it was time for class enhancement again. Since Sky City had routed a Teleportation Portal to the Imperial Capital, Fatty directly teleported there and went to the transfer hall.

“Dear Mr. Sallip, long time no see. I hope things are okay with you?” Fatty smilingly went up to Sallip who was changing a player’s class.

Sallip shivered at the voice. Hurriedly sending the player off with a few words, he growled at Fatty, “Damn Fatty, what are you doing here?”

Fatty smiled, “What am I doing here? Then what do you do here?”

Sallip made a strict face. “I am here to change classes for people. If you aren’t changing classes, please leave. Don't waste my time.”

Fatty clapped his hands lightly. “That's right, I'm here to change my class.”

“You just changed your class, change what…” Sallip's face was full of disdain, but without finishing his sentence, Sallip suddenly screamed, “Eighth enhancement?! How is that possible? You only turned 7th a few days ago, and you’ve already reached 8th?!”

Sallip desperately shook his head, stubbornly convincing himself that he had seen wrong.

“All right, don't deceive yourself and get my class change quickly, I'm busy.” Fatty patted Sallip.

Sallip stared at Fatty for a moment, then suddenly grinned. “Just the right time, I have a mission here that’s just right for you.”

“What? I still have to do a mission?” Fatty eyes went wide.

“You don’t need to, but don't think about advancing then,” Sallip said and looked at the ceiling, not saying anything else.

Fatty suddenly remembered that this fellow was the mentor responsible for his class. Since the other had his Achilles heel, Fatty had to bow his head. He asked between gritted teeth, “What mission?”

Sallip smiled and handed Fatty a map. “Well, this is where a Demon army is located. You go scout them out, find out if there are any experts.”

Investigate the Enemy Situation: A Demon troop has suddenly appeared south of Xuanhuang Ancient Country, posing a great threat to the dynasty and must be eliminated as soon as possible. Go find out their specific situation, how many soldiers there are, and what experts they have, then report back. Time limit: 24 hours.

Investigating the Demon army was certainly not something normal Rogues could handle and required professional players like Fatty. Groaning, he accepted the mission and looked through the skill list. The 6th, 7th, 8th enhancement skills looked good, but the majority belonged to sneak attack types, which Fatty now rarely used as they weren’t fit for his situation.

Regarding being stealthy, Fatty had the Elemental Movement Arts, the restriction of which had been lifted when Elemental Skill Book had become a Divine artifact. Not only could it be used unlimited times a day, but it now also allowed the user to stay in some elemental substances for a short time. Regarding attack, Fatty had the spells in the Elemental Skill Book and the Elemental Sword Diagram. He could just bombard the enemy with a torrent of skills or directly slam the Elemental Sword Formation on them, and they’d be heavily injured if not killed.

Fully armed with means of escape and attack, Fatty didn’t need anything else. Not to mention that learning higher level skills cost an increasing amount of gold coins. For instance, an 8th enhancement skill right here cost 100,000 gold coins. A pauperized Fatty was unwilling to spend on this kind of tuition.

With a roar, Fatty charged out of the Class Enhancement Hall on the Violent Ox King.
