Corpse Mountain

Riley never expected he would receive rewards for using a previous reward, this was very fortunate.

Riley wanted to enter the castle but he had to deal with the glowing treasures before him. Since the loot items all seem useful to his subjects and especially the weapons are a game-changer for him, he decided to reward his subjects and score some loyalty points from them. Also with these weapons and his talent ge could perpetually accumulate strength and wealth.

He rewarded Bow of Ikaris to Lin Yue. Lin yue accepted the bow with grateful look and was in a trance by the beauty and the power excluding from the Bow. After giving it riley observed her loyalty value and saw it jump to 90%, he heaved a sigh of relief internally.

Next he rewards the Sword of Torment to Su Qi who immediately knelt down and sweared his unwavering loyalty to riley and accepted the sword.

Riley understood that, for many natives, their growth potential was below gold or silver so they never expected to hold a platinum tier equipment in their lifetime, so rewarding them with a platinum grade item is a very big deal for them, this was proven by the fact that, even though the others didn't receive anything, their loyalty points have still significantly increased.

Riley felt a lot relieved and safe as he could now fully trust his subjects and rely on them.

Riley pocketed the green house blueprint to his inventory as he didn't quite have the required resources. After that he lead his subjects to the magnificent iron castle.

The castle was mostly made of metal and stone with wood furnishings. The castle walls are cold to the touch but excluded strong imposing sense of safety. The Castle was a stark difference from the lords wooden house, this castle have many rooms kitchens bath houses,etc.

'this is how a lord should live' riley mused.

At the most inner part of the Castle was an imposing throne excluding an icy aura. Riley can feel a sense of pride as he walked closer, when he sat on the throne, all his subjects kneeled before him.

Looking at his kneeling subordinates his first command was for the two warriors to hunt as many monsters they can and for the rest of his subordinates to help them carry the monster corpsed to him.

After the subjects left the castle, riley finally felt at peace and he headed for a cozy bath.

-----

Outside the castle, the subjects were walking towards the barrier with excitement.

Lin Yue: "I can't believe it, I have a Platinum grade weapon"

Su Qi: "Tell me about it. With this, we don't have to fear monsters above our realm. We should hunt as many monsters as we can for the lord."

Wei Hao: "I am envious, good for you."

As the group reached the barrier, only lin yue and su qi left outside to hunt and immediately after they were outside the barrier, all types of abyss creatures roared and sped towards them. A fierce fight took place but to the onlookers it was one sided slaughter. Su qi's sword of torment sliced through the monsters like butter and agonizing screems of monsters rang everywhere. Lin yue on the other hand was like a walking missile launcher, each of her shots were accompanied by explosions and flames like roaring dragons.

After taking a lice bath riley was scrolling through word channel and found that many bigshots are selling large amounts of resources, but nobody's selling weapons. Most demand items were water and monster meat. Which is an indicator that not many many people were able to kill monsters.

He also found that a lord can surrender to another lord and become a subject, riley would never do that but he needs to be cautious.

One very important thing he found out that, the drop percentage of meat and water was likely 100%, meaning he would never get those as loot items. He also found that monster corpses can be processed directly to meat, but then you will loose the right to loot the corpse.

After scrolling for a while riley decided to take a stroll around his territory, but the moment he steppedout he was terrified. He saw his subjects in the distance piling up a mountain of monster corpses. Linyue who sensed riley immediately turned and waved at him with a smile, but to riley, her smile with bloodied clothes and mountain of corpses behind her gave a horror.

He took a guld and slowly walked towards the corpse mountain.

Seeing the lord, su qi immediately reported.

Su qi: "my lord we have cleared every monsters near the territory."

He had proud expression.

Riley: "Um, well done. You guys can take a rest. Go take a bath and take a rest, I saw many clothes in the dressing room, take what ever you need."

The subjects were again reminded of their lords benovelence. They immediately thanked him and headed back. Now only riley was left before the corpse mountain.

Riley: Hoo, should I start now?."

He place his hand towards the corpse mountain and directly choose to loot.
