Su Wan took a deep breath to calm herself.
Su Wan didn’t think crossing the swamp and recruiting creatures and other people to live in the territory was feasible in the long term. She needed to bring in more people from outside.
There were plenty of people displaced by war, who were looking for a home.
Perhaps, in time, the Lavender Business Guild could find a way to send people to the territory.
However, Su Wan needed to set a limit if she wanted to do that. She needed to be able to house them as well. If she allowed everyone inside without proper planning, then there would be too many problems. Overpopulation could also affect the happiness of the present residents.
The need for technological buildings was the greatest hurdle for now.
Su Wan thought about it long and hard and finally found a solution. These things couldn’t be rushed, after all. She had to plan everything one step at a time.
Su Wan was mentally prepared for the challenges.
She looked around her territory. The remaining buildings needed to be upgraded.
Su Wan upgraded the smithy, the food workshop, the brewery, the tailor shop, and the barracks. Apart from the barracks, all other places now were four-storeyed.
Only the barracks remained the same. The only difference was that the railings had turned into a three-meter-high wall.
The barracks were important to train ordinary residents if they wanted to become soldiers to defend the territory. However, the barracks added little value to the territory as a whole.
Su Wan didn’t need ordinary residents to become soldiers. She had enough troops to defend and fight for the territory.
She was glad that her territory was getting stronger. However, looking at the interface, it seemed that the current buildings in the territory were far from enough.
Su Wan upgraded the residential buildings and was now left with only a few million resources.
The profits from the last expedition to the underground world were enough. She still had many resources that she could use.
Under Su Wan’s generous spending, all the buildings in the territory were upgraded to a special grade.
The Territory Core upgrade had given Xu Yuan a new ability.
[Demon Dragon’s Fury: Increases the user’s strength by 10 times. There will be a short period of weakness after the cooldown.]
The latest ability sounded pretty powerful. Xu Yuan was already so strong. If his strength increased by ten times more, he would be indomitable.
Xu Yuan looked even more charming as a human.
Su Wan was wary. Xu Yuan was already friendly with Tristana and Bayion.

In the underground world, the old dwarf stood on the towering walls of Furnace City, looking into the gray distance with a solemn expression on his face.
The dwarf was staring into the distance, where the Dark Region City was supposedly located. Once, his savior had appeared in that place. Xu Yuan…
Half a month passed after that, and Xu Yuan hadn’t appeared again.
“What are you doing up here again? D*mn you! If you fall down again, I swear I’ll throw your corpse into the sewers and let those filthy saw-toothed rats devour it!”
The old dwarf turned around to face the voice. A gray dwarf approached him in a wheelchair. He looked angry.
Two mechanical puppets pushed the wheelchair from behind.
“Lord Owen…” The old dwarf smiled bitterly.
This person in front of him was the alchemist Owen, who first sought refuge in Su Wan’s territory.
“You fell from here last time! Why are you up there again?” Lord Owen shouted.
“It was just an accident. I’m fine now,” said the old dwarf.
“I swear that if His Majesty, Xu Yuan, allows me to do it, I’ll kick you down from there myself!” shouted Lord Owen.
“Lord Owen, why were you looking for me?” The old dwarf tried changing the topic.
“Lord Su Wan and His Majesty Xu Yuan returned to the territory three days ago. They specifically asked to see you,” said Owen. “Jax, I swear I’ll throw you from there if it’s all a lie. If you aren’t from the bloodline of the gods, tell them now.” “Lord Su Wan and His Majesty, Xu Yuan, have retuned?! Praise the Dwarf God!” The old dwarf was eager to see them.
“The Dwarf God fell long ago. What’s the use of praising him now? Why don’t you worship the great god of the gray dwarves instead?” asked Owen.
“Foolish gray dwarves and their facies! Our god hasn’t fallen. He is just asleep. He will definitely return,” said the old dwarf indignantly.
“That’s just a legend,” said Owen. “Anyway, hurry! Don’t be late. Lord Su Wan wants to see you.”
Owen suddenly thought of something and sat up straight. “Sir Jax, I have encountered a problem in alchemy and was wondering if you could help.”
Jax didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Owen’s attitude toward him changed so fast depending on what he needed.
Jax wasn’t familiar with alchemy. However, there was a strange phenomenon that happened every time Owen asked him for solutions to alchemy problems.
As long as Owen described the problem with clarity, Jax seemed to be able to find the solution. It was as though alchemy knowledge was hidden in Jax’s mind.
After Owen left, the old dwarf looked at the gray city walls. He then turned around and climbed down.
Jax headed toward the inner part of Furnace City. The streets were bustling with mechanical puppets and gray dwarves.
The war that destroyed Furnace City seemed to have been forgotten. No one even mentioned it anymore..
