Chapter 362: Illumination Tower, Banishing the Darkness
```
Ying Xueji and her connections were extensive, and upon entering the Sea of Realms, they brought with them quite a few people to become Lords.
Back when Li Fengwen was still on Blue Star, he tried every possible way to cultivate Tuanzi, with the sole aim of securing an absolute advantage in the Sea of Realms.
The Divine Blood National Destiny Altar, linked by bloodline and national destiny, could communicate with the Great Tang Ancient Empire in the upper layers of the Upper Realm Sea, thereby obtaining assistance from the Great Tang Ancient Empire.
For Li Fengwen and the other three, the difficulty of this mission was by no means small. Obtaining the position of a great lord was only the most basic step; what followed was to enter the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty and directly replace it!
This time, with the Great Xia Empire unifying Blue Star, the four Ancient Empires were also ready to play their trump cards and take action against the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
It could be said that the situation the Blue Star Human Race had just managed to establish in the Sea of Realms was greatly harmed by the Wild Boar Skin, leading to a lack of sustained power and almost causing a major disaster.
Hence, the four Ancient Empires harbored bone-deep hatred towards the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
Now that the Great Xia Empire had resolved its internal conflicts and achieved unification, it could concentrate the forces of the Blue Star Human Race.
The next problem to be dealt with was naturally the obstructive Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
It could be said that the current Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, of the realm territory area it occupies, only two-thirds of the land is actually under its control, and the remaining third is held by the elders of the Coalition of Nations.
This time, the four Ancient Empires were prepared to spend heavily to completely eradicate the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty and then re-establish a Sea of Realms Great Xia Empire.
Sea of Realms New World No. 99, the fourth night.
A thick death Qi gradually rose from the ground, condensing into a dense layer of black fog in the air.
The territory was no longer shielded by the Sea of Realms' protective barrier, completely exposed to the black fog of death Qi.
The sounds of howling cold winds, low wails, playful laughter, and painful moans intermingled, creating an especially horrifying atmosphere.
Zi Liyuan directly took a chair and sat upright in the Level 6 Lord's Mansion's administrative hall, with a profound gaze watching the foggy territory.
A transparent light shield firmly protected the Lord's Mansion, while other buildings were devoid of any protection.
And in his mind's map projection, various spectres existing within the black fog of death had already appeared.
Purely Second Order spectres, ghosts, spectres, fierce ghosts... gathered in twos and threes, treating his territory like a playground, hovering back and forth in the air.
However, when they approached the territory's buildings, they were repelled by a faint golden glow emitted by the buildings.
But with each release of golden light, the glow would dim ever so slightly, and, at the same time, Zi Liyuan would hear the system's notification in his ear.
It was an indication of the amount of energy depleted, with each building's protection consuming energy stored within the Lord's Mansion.
"It seems, I need to bring back a high-grade energy crystal for the territory."
The heart of a fallen angel from within the Necro Realm and elemental crystals from the Ghost Creature Secret Realm could not only gather the elemental forces between heaven and earth but also tap into the earth's ley lines, infusing the entire territory with energy.
With such an item, as long as the one-time energy consumption isn't too excessive, the energy within the territory will not be completely depleted.
This type of night-time building protection wouldn't have to worry about energy consumption at all.
"Lao Ma, Hongsha, kill all the invading spectres!"
Compared to yesterday's hundred BOSS fierce ghosts produced by the Sea of Realms, the spectres appearing today didn't include a single BOSS, and their strength was also quite unimpressive.
Zi Liyuan meanwhile deployed both the Undead BOSSes and those elites and rare creatures that had revived in Ghost Town.
As one spectre after another was hunted down, a hint of disappointment flickered in Zi Liyuan's eyes.
No one could blame him for his disappointment, as the slain spectres only dropped materials from their bodies, not a single one dropping a treasure chest.
The Sea of Realms' three-day protection period benefit for new lords was gone!
"Indeed, no more easy gains, only able to scavenge some energy and miscellaneous materials."
Until the Lord's Mansion reached Level 10, secondary professions like alchemy weren't available, unless you were an Alchemist yourself; otherwise, these materials weren't of much use.
Of course, some could be used in the blacksmith and tannery, but most materials served other purposes.
Shaking his head, no longer focusing on the territory's situation, he took out the bounty of this hunt from his spatial belt.
Three different blueprints, two for buildings and one for a recipe.
[Magic Library (Green): Special Building, can archive First Order and below magic books, allowing the territory to train Mage troops. Building costs (Fine Stone X1000, Fine Timber X500, Fine Iron Ingot X300, Fine Copper Ingot X200, Silver Ingot X100, Crystal X50), the building can be upgraded (Upgrading requirements to be explored!) ]
[Illumination Tower (White): Can illuminate a 100-meter radius, dispelling darkness within the range, breaking the obscuring effects of black fog and the like. Building costs (Stone X200, Timber X100, Iron Ingot X20, Copper Ingot X10), the building can be erected outside the territory and is equally effective!]
[Two-Handed Iron Sword (White Recipe): Damage +50, Forging cost (Iron Ingot X2, Copper Ingot X1)]
The Magic Library, this special building could help the territory possess the opportunity to train Mage troops, but to actually train them, conditions still apply.
Firstly, magic books must be placed into the library.
Secondly, the training subjects must possess magical talent; otherwise, no matter how much time is spent, it would be impossible to train Mage troops.
