112 Chapter 112
"You did a good job. Now everyone is more enthusiastic than before. It seems that our progress can be caught up soon. In fact, we are not much behind. Now in the whole district, there are only a dozen castles that have reached level two."
Edward said to Dick with a smile. The two of them were sitting in front of Dick's wooden house and looking at the people coming and going in front of them.
"I'm telling the truth. After all, I'm still the castellan of Bramble City. I can't even let others acquire advanced materials, right? I'm still the strongest in this Green-Hand Village."
Dick shrugged and replied.
"Do you know, you are the only one who has done this? Among the several castles that have upgraded to level two, only Sphinx's castle is the same as us, using the cold pool stones to upgrade."
Edward suddenly said to Dick.
"As for the rest, according to what those arrogant guys said on the regional chat channel, only castellan's wooden house and a small number of wooden houses used the cold pool stone, and even the castellan didn't care whether others had the ability to obtain the materials or not."
He said to Dick with dissatisfaction.
"Toby even forced all the villagers to use the lowest method of upgrading, because he wanted to catch up with the progress as soon as possible."
Edward sighed, put down his hand, and looked at Dick.
"Now you understand why they feel guilty about you, right? Compared with our Green-Hand Village and other Green-Hand Villages, you are just like a saint!"
Dick scratched his head. He had never thought that villagers in the No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village would have such feelings.
"I don't want to be a saint. When you came to me for the first time, I told you that I didn't want to be a savior, nor did I want to save those people who have nothing to do with me. But the people in this castle are different. At least, they make me feel warm, so I'm willing to pay back."
Dick smiled and said to Edward.
Since he knew Edward and Lelly and fought against strong enemies together, his heart might be gradually changing.
In the beginning, he thought that he shouldn't have helped anyone who hadn't helped him. But now he was willing to be the castellan of No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village. He felt that he was more human.
"Well, I've been resting for two days. It's time to start building my wooden house. This is the castellan's wooden house, but it's only level one so far. I feel a little embarrassed."
Dick stretched himself and stood up. He had almost recovered from his injury and mental state in the past two days.
The sigh armor he was wearing had been handed over to Ellena again, together with the corpses of the demonic jackal king and the ghostly leopard king.
After getting the materials of the two beast kings, Ellena was so happy that she ran away like a gust of wind without even saying goodbye to Dick.
Two days later, Edward received the message from Ellen, telling Dick not to be anxious and wait patiently.
According to Ellena's plan, after completing this sigh armor, she would be able to upgrade her casting master to the next level. With the help of two beast kings, this sigh armor might reach the peak of the level-five item, which was unprecedented!
In the past two days, the construction of No. 1002548 Green-Hand Village was steadily progressing. Although all the level-two wooden houses had been demolished and remade, the construction time that used the cold pool stone was also longer than the normal method.
However, their Bramble City also followed the first tier and upgraded to the level-two castle.
And just as everyone had expected at the beginning, the properties of their castle were much higher than that of other level-two castles made from the ordinary method of upgrading.
Their next goal was to upgrade to the level-three castle. As the castellan, Dick issued a new castle decree.
"All the members in the castle can get fifty contribution points for each upgrade."
This was to make everyone try not to lag behind in upgrading when building the castle. Although the 50 contribution points were deducted from Dick's own contribution, Dick thought it was worth it.
Anyway, all the materials for upgrading to the level-three wooden house were ready-made. If everyone wanted to obtain the materials, they had to earn contribution points.
It was better to directly change the requirement for obtaining contribution points to upgrade than to let them cut wood day by day to obtain them.
In this way, they could kill two birds with one stone, which not only increased the motivation of the villagers to upgrade but also didn't let the upgrade of the Green-Hand Village fall behind.
Donating the cold pool stones and the flaming stones provided Dick with a massive amount of contribution points. Even if all the people in the Green-Hand Village upgraded together, he could afford these contribution points.
When Dick was building his wooden house, a letter from Sphinx caught his attention.
"My friend, please allow me to express my thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the location of the cold pool stone, and my rookie castle wouldn't have obtained such a good property."
Dick replied with a smile. He sat down and waited for Sphinx to continue.
It was impossible that Sphinx sent the message at this time just to express his gratitude.
As expected, Sphinx continued.
"My friend, I have two pieces of equipment here. These two pieces of equipment are not very useful to me, but I think you may be interested."
Dick asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Sphinx would come to him for a deal besides thanking him.
"Let's go to the trading channel. I really want to see what's so amazing about the two pieces of equipment you mentioned."
Dick agreed readily.
Dick also saw the information about these two items on the transaction channel.
"Level-three items: pied vambrace. It came from a mysterious relic and had been corroded for thousands of years. It might have some kind of uncertain mysterious power."
Dick frowned. There was no basic information about this pair of vambraces. For ordinary people, this pair of vambraces were just rubbish.
Even now, every piece of Dick's equipment was better than this pair of vambraces.
But Dick noticed that in the item's description, there was a saying that it had been corroded for thousands of years.
Dick's refinement talent could extract the essence from the corrosion of time and restore the original appearance of this pair of vambraces.
