Chapter 376: The Expansion (3/3)
People from every corner of the world could go anywhere, from a Sanctuary area to the extreme north, to the Sanctuary Area in the south by just walking through the portal.
During the following days, a boom in general progress ensued.
Resource trading rose sky-high with people all over the world being able to trade resources from different areas.
People got access to unknown and undiscovered areas with events and dungeons that Mystic Root would regularly manifest all over the world.
Phoenix City\'s living area transformed in twenty days, becoming five times as big as before.
Moreover, Phoenix City\'s Sanctuary Area\'s range automatically increased to 15 kilometers in diameter area due to the increasing population that lived in this big area.
It was a sort of World hub since Erix had built Transport Hall. The hall had 25 big portals, and he also set up a simple board to connect any of those portals to 300+ other portals leading to other Sanctuary Areas on the planet.
People could just press a button, for instance—[38-Fraska City], and the portal would change its coordinates to the portal of Fraska City\'s portal.
Each Sanctuary City had a Duke and multiple Barons assigned for the management of resources and information, but since they were just top rankers, the actual managers were staff under them.
Those people did not want to risk too much like others and live a slow, normal life.
U-cards became a necessary item that almost everyone was using for communication and storing miscellaneous things that their mystic Inventory didn\'t allow to store.
Since Prana-stone mining events were regular, people could buy U-cards, and that caused the Unfettered Fate guild to get lots of low-grade Prana stones.
Progress in Atlantis was going something with people getting tons of rewards, and more and more people entering Expedition every day.
A total of 58 clans joined the Unfettered Kingdom, each force labeled under them as they became the subordinate clans.
They also needed resources to grow their clans, and since they were not natives, they couldn\'t access Events that gave most resources, giving them no choice but to rely on natives.
The unfettered Kingdom had a big network, management, and increasing population.
Those clans couldn\'t get a better place and deal than Unfettered Kigndom to earn resources and sell their specialties.
A total of 100 clans had arrived on Earth. Half of them already joined the Unfettered Kingdom, with more joining daily after seeing the progress.
Overall, it was as Erix and Rin promised—everyone was progressing faster with better management of events, resources, and schedules for various quests.
The staff that handled indoor activities were those who didn\'t want to risk their lives too much, so getting those relaxed jobs of staff was ideal for them.
…
[Prana Vein Event 2.0 will start in one hour.]
"2.0 again? Hahaha, it looks like we\'ll be getting more Medium-grade Prana stones regularly."
"Slave Battalion 3 and 4 are free, so they\'ll participate in this event. Tell them to prepare."
The moment the Event was announced, the Event Department in the Unfettered Kingdom promptly reacted.
Since it was ten in the morning, the barons and dukes were on the Blessed Island, training at the various exotic elemental areas.
Aria, Rin, and Lily were under the Dreanox Tree. Aria needed some help in crafting a new potion, so Rin and Lily were helping.
The trio heard the Event announcement, they but had stopped going to regular Events for obvious reasons and used their time on more important things. .net
Isabella was also helping, but since it was almost noon, she went to cook food.
Suddenly, Erix and Lilith arrived above the Dreanox Tree, with Erix showing slight exhaustion and injuries.
They were sparring high above in the sky and just finished it.
"My turn," Rin grinned.
Erix and Lilith descended near Aria\'s Alchemy table.
"Come on," Lilith smiled at Rin and enveloped her in shapeless shadow before both of them vanished high above.
Meanwhile, Erix walked towards Aria and Lily at the table.
Putting his arm around Lily\'s shoulder, Erix looked towards the two cauldrons with a strange aura whirling inside them, Erix asked, "How\'s the progress?"
"Shss, she is in deep focus. Don\'t disturb her," Lily elbowed Erix\'s stomach.
Aria was indeed in deep focus with her arms facing both cauldrons as she controlled the flow and energies of ingredients inside.
\'Fine.\'
Erix bit Lily\'s snow-white ears, causing them to turn red as she blushed. \'What are you doing here?\'
\'I fought a hard battle with Lilith, so now I need a sweet battle from you,\' Erix grinned and teleported with Lily to a natural high-grade hotspring that recently developed on the Blessed Island\'s southwest area.
*Splash*
Both of them fell into the water, and their clothes vanished. Lily\'s white figure with big twin peaks and pink cherries was tightly held by Erix from behind as he rubbed her breasts and kissed her neck while under the water.
But both of them sensed a presence outside.
"It\'s Yelwon and Serina, " Erix chuckled and swam up with Lily as both of them saw Yelwon and Serina sitting cross-legged on two stone boulders forty meters away.
"How come you two are together?" Erix asked.
"Nothing much. Serina was already here, and I joined to meditate," Yelwon plainly answered. "Do we leave from here?"
"No need, "Erix laughed and waved his hand, creating a barrier around the hot spring that prevented them from seeing through it.
"I can\'t believe I once traveled with him," Serina wryly smiled as her blushing face slowly returned to normal. "I didn\'t know this white-haired beauty was also his woman."
Serina was the 21-year-old daughter of Lena and Toshin, soon to be 22. She was more talented and a hard worker as she had Lightning, Fire, and Light affinities.
She awakened Light and Fire naturally and then awakened Lightning with advanced Elemental crystal and used her Insight Scroll to comprehend an Exotic Element mix of Fire x Light x Lightning—Solarion element.
In short, she was one of the promising powerhouses of the Unfettered Kingdom.
"Are you envious of his women and want to become his?" Yelwon asked with an amusing expression. "I already see many having a crush on Erix and getting hopes just because he got multiple women."
"If I had a chance, I would have tried to be his girl," Serina grinned. "When I first met him, he and Rin were reliable and promising. They just had a different vibe and aura than others, but I didn\'t think they would reach this high."
"So…well, it would be wrong to say that I am not envious," Serina chuckled. "He is also super hot and strong, haha…Literally the most powerful than any man here, so of course."
"But what about you?" Selina curiously asked Yelwon.
"Me?" Yelwon raised her eyebrows and looked towards the pond as a glint passed through her eyes. "I am not envious of his women. However, I wouldn\'t mind getting his seeds so I can give birth."
"W-w-what?" Selina was dumbfounded and thought she heard wrong. "Are you serious?"
"I don\'t want to become anyone\'s woman," Yelwon snorted before a faint smile spread on her face. "However, I do want to give birth, which I can\'t do alone, so I\'ll need seeds of someone talented and superior."
Selina weakly smiled and looked at Yelwon\'s bomb figure. "Well, I can\'t think like that, but given your figure and beauty, I think many are after you."
"That\'s why I am at third rank in the World Leaderboard," Yelwon scoffed. "I am strong, so those who desire me can\'t get me…unless Erix, but he is not one to force someone."
Selina nodded. She had heard and seen cases of strong men forcing women, and even some strong women powerhouses who forced men for their bidding.
"But I want someone strong in all areas and loving," Selina muttered. "Like him."
"Are you a virgin?" Yelwon glanced at Selina.
Selina\'s face flushed as she nodded, "Yes."
"Then don\'t taste a dick yet. Focus on getting more powerful. There\'s a vast world out there and many strong people. You can find someone to love later," Yelwon said before she closed her eyes. "Alright, back to training."
Selina wryly smiled hearing that and also closed her eyes as she returned to meditation training.
Both of them had an Advanced high-grade Elemental crystal in their hands as they went back to comprehend and make progress.
Meanwhile, after Half an hour of quick and intense fun, Erix and Lily returned.
Rin and Lilith were still sparring. Since Erix took an hour, Rin would also take the same amount of time to train with Lilith.
However, Aria\'s face had a pout and a slight exhaustion as she sat before her Cauldrons, slumped.
"Aw, what happened to my cutie?" Erix asked as he and Lily arrived under the Dreanox Tree.
Erix sat before Aria and gently pinched her puffy cheeks.
"I failed again," Aria said, her arms crossed and her mood frustrated. "This pill is hard to make even with my current spirit power."
"You\'ve been doing this for three hours," Lily wryly smiled. "Take a break, Aria."
"Yeah, let\'s go take a break," Erix laughed. "I\'ll make you feel happy again, come."
"Mhm," Aria nodded as she raised her arms. "Carry me."
Erix booped her nose and carried her like a princess before teleporting away.
Yelwon and Selina heard one more splash and opened their eyes only to see Erix and Aria.
"Sorry, you continue," Erix laughed as he created a barrier around the hot spring again.
"It looks like he is horny today," Yelwon snorted and closed her eyes.
Selina wryly smiled and also closed her eyes as she returned to training.
