Chapter 56 Petran’s Decision

Hikaru nodded in agreement with Darnag's opinion. Currently, his territory was too small; it was so small that Darnag didn't even have his own place for research. The farmers only had individual bedrooms in the farm house.

Upon seeing Darang's renovation plans, Hikaru was immediately interested. As the plans showed, the area of the territory that would be expanded to 50,000 square meters.

Of which, 10,000 square meters of the center will be built into a castle dedicated to Hikaru and his closest confidants. The castle was surrounded by a river. This river gets water from the infinity lake, so there was no need to find a source of water.

The river surrounding the castle would be 10 meters wide. And in the river, there would be magic to prevent others from entering the castle. Therefore, if you want to enter the castle, you can't swim across or fly in, but you can only enter from the only bridge leading into the castle.

40,000 square meters of space will be built into the area for residents to live. Surrounding the entire area would be a wall over ten meters high. In the area for residents, there would be trees and water systems, as shown in the extremely detailed plans.

Hikaru looked at the plans for a long time, feeling that there was nothing to criticize and nothing to change. Everything in the plans was perfect, from the location of the rooms in the city to the arrangement of the streets in the residential area. The plans even show the location where the trees will be planted.

Although he knew that Darnag had a 10% plan creation rate, he did not think that Darnag would create such great construction plans.

He asked, "So... when do you think you can start construction?"

"Um…"

Seeing Darnag falter, Hikaru frowned and said, "Is there a problem?"

Darnag sighed, then took a deep breath. He looked at Hikaru and said, "There are many problems. The first is resources. The amount of resources needed to build this is too much.

"Is it too much?"

"Yes." Darang nodded and said, "According to my estimation, it requires 5,000,000,000 stones, 1,000,000,000 wood blocks, 200,000,000 iron blocks, and many other resources. Besides, each elemental stone should be about 10,000,000, and the space stone alone needs to be about 100,000,000. "

Hikaru heard Darnag say the number of resources needed and was startled. Although he currently possessed a lot of resources, the amount that Darnag needed was too much.

"However..." Darnag said again: "This is only the minimum amount of resources to build the castle for you and to construct the river surrounding the castle."

"Pks!" Hikaru almost spat out a mouthful of blood. So, the amount of resources Darnag just mentioned is only the minimum requirement to build the castle. As for the residential area and the city wall, Hikaru thought that the number would be so great that it would make him feel depressed.

"Besides..." Darnag continued: "We don't have the necessary manpower for the construction work nor for the other jobs."

At this point, Hikaru understood what Darnag was talking about. Because Anno was training the farmers, there was no one to do other jobs. At that moment, he realized that a territory without many people was a disadvantage.

Hikaru said to Darnag: "I will find a way to solve the labor problem. As for the resources, don't worry, there will definitely be enough resources for you. "

"Yes, Master." After saying that, Darnag went out.

Hikaru sat in his room looking at the plans for the territory's renovation. Although it would take a lot of resources and manpower to start this massive project, he was not discouraged.

Hikaru thought: 'Saraya and Shala are on their way to find the Lizard race. I hope they can cooperate with me. The Hell Lotus can produce soul points and elemental stones. As for the other resources like stone, wood, and iron, I still don't know where to get them except by giving them to the farmers from my inventory.'

'',

Hikaru sighed, realizing that owning a real home had never been easy, on Earth or in this world.

'Hopefully, after Larry breaks into the other castle, he can find more resources and Darnag can research on how to get the map inside the Golden Dragon Eye.'

After settling down, Hikaru let Vuni call Petran and Ratia to meet him.

About 5 minutes later, Petran, Ratia, and Hikaru sat in the living room. This was the first time the three had met in person. Hikaru said to Petran and Ratia: "This is the first time we meet, but my territory is in the process of being completed, so the reception is not the best. I hope you can ignore it."

Petran and Ratia frowned. Hikaru's domain was too luxurious. Even in this place, there were people serving food daily. There were also many people working outside. If Hikaru's domain was in the process of being completed, then Petran and Ratia's territory was no different from the WC. However, both of them now had no territories and had become free players.

"So... I don't think you two came here just to visit me, do you?" Hikaru's voice suddenly turned cold.

Petran and Ratia felt a little scared. The atmosphere was so suffocating that it made them feel short of breath, and the pressure from Hikaru made them feel even more scared.

Suddenly, Petran asked, "Has Sherwin met you?"

Hikaru nodded: "He and I have met, but now we are on the same team."

"Team?" Petran was a bit confused and asked again.

Hikaru saw Petran's expression and asked, "Didn't you participate in the group fight?"

Petran shook his head: "No, me and Ratia's territory have been destroyed. Right now, she and I are both free players.

Hikaru listened to Petran and realized that perhaps when they became free players, they wouldn't receive any information about events from the system. To be more precise, they cannot participate in any other events. Even though Hikaru realized that, he was too lazy to explain it to them.

Petran thought for a long time and then said, "So... Can I join your territory?"

As soon as Petran's sentence ended, Hikaru and Ratia were both surprised. However, Hikaru suddenly knew the reason. He thought that perhaps the Void Lord seed he had sown had now sprouted. At first, Hikaru intended to test the Void Cloak's abilities but did not think that Petran would fully believe it.

Hikaru tapped his finger on the table as he said, "You must know that I don't want any unknown elements to exist within my territory. Therefore, you have only one choice, and that is to become my slave. "

It seems that Petran foresaw that Hikaru would say this, so he immediately nodded, "Okay."

"Heh? Wait, what the hell are you talking about?" Ratia suddenly stood up and said, in a voice filled with surprise, "Do you know what you are talking about? Being a slave to others, being a slave, do you understand?"

,m In contrast to Ratia, Petran was very calm and said, "I know what I am talking about. This is my decision and I have thought hard about this decision.

Ratia did not understand why Petran made this decision, even though he was extremely determined about it.

Hikaru tilted his head to look at Petran and Ratia, then said to Petran: "Have you thought it through? Your life will be in my hands if you become my slave. Just one thought from me, and you will surely die. Besides, you will forever become my slave. "

Hikaru didn't seem to have heard Petran's words, so he asked: "I want to confirm once again, will you be loyal to him."

Hikaru knew who Petran meant, and he replied, "He lives, I live. If he dies, I can't exist either. "

As Petran listened to Hikaru's words, he nodded: "Okay. Then make the contract. "

'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',

"Good!" Hikaru made a contract with Petran through the system, but Petran didn't think twice and chose to accept it .

[Ding! Petran is your slave, congratulations.]

Hikaru saw the message pop up and nodded. However, what was different was that there was a message in his mind that said that as soon as Petran thought of betraying him, he would immediately recognize it. Besides, Hikaru could sense that Petran would surely die just by using his thoughts.

In fact, this was an unexpected surprise. Hikaru could now easily find resources thanks to Petran's Talent. However,

Hikaru glanced at Ratia. He asked: "And you?"

"I?" Ratia hadn't calmed down yet because Petran's process of becoming Hikaru's slave happened too quickly. She even forgot the purpose of coming to his domain.

"If you have nothing to say, please leave." Hikaru waved his hand.

Suddenly, Petran said, "She hasn't thought it through. Give me time. I'll convince her."

Hikaru nodded, then used his teleport skill and disappeared in front of them. Seeing Hikaru suddenly disappear, Petran just smiled and was not surprised.

A skill that can teleport is a rare skill in this world. It looks like the Void Lord took good care of him.' Petran thought.

"Hey!" Ratia's shout made Petran startled. When he turned to look at her, Ratia's gaze seemed to want to tear him to pieces: "If you don't make things clear, I won't forgive you."

"Forgive me? What will you do to me? " Petran was extremely calm and said.

"You…"

"Haizzz." Petran sighed, then said, "Okay. I think we should go to our own room; it will be easier to talk there.

Ratia took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then followed after Petran.

…

Hikaru sat on a giant stone, watching Petran's information. It seemed that his information hadn't changed, but the biggest change he had was his mindset.

[Master, are you worried about Petran?]

Hikaru nodded, "That's right. Petran has a connection to Dogish, but Dogish is a player from another world. "

But why did you still agree to make Petran your slave?

"Because I need his power."

Just as Hikaru finished speaking, a message suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Himari for being the first to form a guild.]

"Himari?!"
