------------------
There was no reward for leveling up the castle. Just once, Haru, as the first Castle Lord to upgrade the castle to a [Primary Town], received the first world announcement dedicated to a single Castle Lord.
Up until now, the 'Game Master' only made two world announcements for a single Castle Lord. The main character of both of them was Haru. From this, it could be seen how much influence and reputation he had.
It could be said that there were billions of Castle Lords and Rangers who knew about Haru. He was the most famous Castle Lord. It was precisely because of this that many of the top-level Castle Lords were afraid of Haru.
This was especially true for the Dark Forest's Anti-Angel Alliance. It was to the extent that during such a crucial period of development; they did not hesitate to organize thousands of Castle Lords and gather tens of thousands of flying soldiers to make their way to Haru's Angel Castle.
"It doesn't matter if there is any reward or not. We still have to do!" Haru muttered to himself as he scanned the [Hyperspace Trading Channel]. As the core base of the Castle Lord, their future foundation was incredibly important.
In all the buildings of the Castle Lord. Leveling up the Barracks was the most important. Next was the Castle. After all, once the Castle was breached and the Castle Heart was shattered, even if the Castle Lord did not die, he would be forced to become a Ranger and no longer be able to recruit soldiers.
There were many benefits to upgrading the castle. First, it could expand the castle's territory. Secondly, the increase in influence and reputation points would attract the attention of the local forces and increase the chances of the local intelligent creatures taking the initiative to join them.
Also, the Defense of the Castle's Heart will increase and will not easily break. Finally, the higher the level of the castle, the closer it was to establish a Kingdom.
Haru also looked forward to the last point the most. His goal was to rule the Dark Forest and establish a Kingdom. Now, he had obtained the [Divine Object: Dynasty Heart]. As long as he reigned over the Dark Forest and raised the castle to the 'Capital City' level, he would be able to directly establish directly his own Kingdom.
Haru scanned the [Hyperspace Trading Channel]. All of his equipment had already been purchased. Among them, there were some ordinary equipment, as well as a small amount of intermediate-level Elven Equipment. They were turned into wood, stone, and refined iron and stored in his castle warehouse.
What was left was the high-level Elven Equipment. These types of equipment were not sold directly but were being auctioned. The auction time limit was eight hours. 320 Sets of high-level Elven Equipment, every 10 sets were bundled into one group, with a total of 32 groups.
People were bidding for each group. The bidding price was higher than the high-level equipment auctioned by other Castle Lords. That was because it was a piece of equipment forged by Elves. The quality was high, the appearance was beautiful and it gave off an artistic aura.
This was especially the case for some female Castle Lords. They liked it very much and were desperately bidding for a group. Including Aria! However, before the auction, Aria first contacted Haru.
"Haru, do you have any extra high-level Elven Equipment? You know, my troops are the Golden War Lions and I am the only one in the entire Golden Castle. It's a waste to have 10 sets of equipment."
Haru: "No."
"Really?" Aria asked with a poor expression
Haru said, "You can wait. Once the Elf Tribe has created new equipment, I'll sell you the first set!"
Aria: "When can I have it?"
Haru: "I don't know."
…
Endless Prairie:
The beautiful Aria gritted her snow-white teeth and found it hard to calm down. Back then, she had gave Haru an incredibly precious [Troop Summoning Blueprint] at a friendly price, which was equivalent to half selling and half gifting.
Anyone would be grateful to her but what happened back then? Haru turned around and deleted her. He did not remember her 'kindness' at all. Now, he was unwilling to sell her a set of high-level equipment crafted by Elves.
Aria, "Do you not have any equipment? I'll buy it at a high price!"
Haru: "There's one more, but you can't afford it."
Aria: "Are you looking down on me?"
Haru: "It's King-Level magic equipment!"
Aria: "Sorry to disturb you!"
After the chat ended, Aria decisively participated in the auction. She didn't need that many sets of ten pieces of Elven Equipment. However, she could wear one set and leave one for spare. The other eight sets of equipment would be sold by her.
High-level equipment was still scarce at that time. Moreover, this was a piece of equipment made by the Nature Elves. It was priceless. She would not lose, and she might even earn a small sum of money by reselling it. Thinking of this, Aria's mood finally improved.
…
Angel Castle.
Haru also closed his friend list. He continued to search the [Hyperspace Trading Channel] to see if there was anything interesting to buy. In the current trading area, goods could be said to be extremely valuable. Not only were there food, Wood, Stones, and Refined Iron sold, but there were also equipment, blueprints, Power Stones, and even Magic Crystals that were auctioned off.
The only bad thing was that the price was so high that he did not even want to buy it. Other than that, Haru also noticed that some Castle Lords were selling fruits, honey, bread, millet and so on. Even drinking water was being sold. What surprised Haru the most was that there was someone buying [Water] and the sales were not low.
"It's probably because some of the Castle Lords' luck wasn't good enough and they were in places where water resources are poor, such as deserts. If they can't find water, they can only buy it." Haru sighed. The Initial Barracks depended on luck. Who would have thought that the place where the Castle Lord descended would depend on luck? If his luck was not good, he would not be able to find any food or even water.
