Chapter 259 - 259: The Brand New Lord’s Mansion 1
After that, Leo Ray noticed that, besides basic necessities and food, the most popular items in the trade center were various types of clothes, daily necessities, and condiments.
Compared to a few days ago, the number of these items had increased significantly.
It seemed that more and more lords had begun to approach the indigenous people.
However, what remained unchanged was the high price of these items.
A large amount of basic resources was needed to exchange for these essentials.
“Of course, for me, who has already taken control of two cities, this is no longer a problem.”
With that in mind, Leo Ray shifted his gaze and continued checking.
Besides these, there were still no rare items such as magical potion formulas, equipment blueprints, or miracle building blueprints, let alone high-level equipment.
However, some Tier 1 weapons and armor had appeared, especially metal weapons, which had very high prices.
An ordinary Tier 1 iron sword would cost at least 2,000 units of stone. “Well, that’s equivalent to the mining output of 20 farmers in 2 days.” Realizing that, a long-lost capitalist smile emerged on Leo Ray’s face. “If that’s the case, let these people work for me once again.”
Without hesitation, Leo Ray anonymously put up 100 Tier 1 iron swords from his space bracelet at a price of 1,500 units of stone each.
For a moment, people quickly noticed the strikingly low price and went crazy promoting it in the chat channel.
“Folks, someone’s giving out goodies in the trading center! Just 1,500 units of stone for a sword!”
“b? Can’t miss out on this bargain! I’ll buy one right away!”
“Any cheap long spears for sale? My wife has always been a fan of Zachary Turner!”
“Ying Ying Ying, I just bought a beautiful one myself, isn’t it pretty (attached picture)?”
“The lady above is right! Aesthetics matter!”
Having clicked on the attached picture, Leo Ray smiled helplessly.
He had to admit; the lady had a valid point.
Closing the picture, Leo Ray re-focused his attention on the colorful halo-enshrouded Lord’s Mansion in front of him.
At this point, it was evident.
The construction noise coming from inside was much quieter than before.
It seemed that the mansion upgrade was in its final stages.
Sure enough, after a short while.
The familiar notification sound rang in Leo Ray’s ears.
[Congratulations! Your Lord’s Mansion has been upgraded to Lv: 7!]
“Has it finally been completed?”
With excitement, Leo Ray stood up and began inspecting.
As the colorful light curtain dissipated in the wind, the outline of a massive building gradually became clear.
Gazing at the impressive building, Leo Ray couldn’t help but exclaim.
From its size alone, it was evident that the upgraded Lord’s Mansion was at least 50% larger than before.
The mansion was now entirely made of solid and durable stone material.
Additionally, two smaller fortress structures with crenellations were erected on its left and right sides, making the overall building practically indistinguishable from a small castle.
Even the previously single metal gate had been replaced with a larger double metal gate, giving off an imposing atmosphere.
“It’s no wonder that the Lv: 7 Mansion that consumed 300,000 units of stone is extraordinary!”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but excitedly rub his hands together. He first commanded a few Earth Guardians to return to their positions.
He then approached the entrance, opened the heavy metal gate, and stepped into the newly renovated mansion interior.
Inside, Leo Ray held a few Light Crystal Stones and found that under the double illumination of sunlight and crystal light.
The entrance still featured a large reception hall.
However, its area had increased considerably, almost rivaling the hall of the Cyan Town City Lord Mansion at a glance.
At the end of the hall stood a high and majestic metal throne, surrounded by more than a dozen delicate metal lanterns and some exquisite landscape murals.
These additions gave the solemn environment a touch of artistic flair.
“Not bad, it’s looking more and more impressive. I will buy some more decorations later, and it will look even more tasteful.”
Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, took a step forward, and continued to examine the other rooms on the first floor.
To the left of the hall was still a large banquet area.
In it, there were several long tables with a multitude of wooden chairs arranged around them, and an enormous chandelier hung in the center. Additionally, there was a well-equipped and well-ventilated enclosed kitchen at the end of the banquet room.
On the right side of the hall were two identical spacious lounges, fully furnished with various pieces of furniture.
In the rooms, the grand and luxurious decor along with some metal ornaments featuring the distinct style of swords and magic gave an overwhelming sense of opulence.
Notably, the staircase to the second floor had changed from a single spiral staircase to two spiral staircases on the left and right sides of the foyer.
Moreover, robust metal doors were fitted at the entrance of the staircase area, providing further security.
Walking up to the second floor, Leo Ray was first greeted by a spacious corridor.
Along the corridor, there were several neatly arranged rooms. After inspecting them, Leo Ray found.
These were six identical and well-lit bedrooms, as well as a neat and tidy bathroom.
As a side note, the toilets in this world were incredibly sanitary and nearly identical to those from Leo Ray’s past life.
The only difference was the small magic circle at the bottom of the sewage pipes, which mages would occasionally charge and maintain.
Of course, since the Lord’s Mansion itself had energy absorption and automatic maintenance magic arrays like the Miracle Buildings.
Even the need for mages could be omitted.
“It seems that these new rooms are meant to be guest rooms or the bedrooms of subordinates.”
As Leo Ray pondered, he continued to inspect the mansion.
At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there were doors on either side leading to the small fortresses built on each side of the mansion, which could be used for defense during battles.
Furthermore, there were no other exits within the small fortresses.
This detail would undoubtedly maximize the security of the entire mansion.
“However, for my territory, it would already be challenging for enemies to breach the main entrance, let alone approach the Lord’s Mansion.”
Thinking this, Leo Ray smiled slightly and turned towards the third floor of the
Lord’s Mansion..
