Neil sighed after reading the various messages that popped right as he arrived in the Zoratian planet, then he questioned:
"Nemo, how can I move to a different territory?"
"For that, you would have to return to the same Lizzard establishment, then either ask them nicely to do it or destroy the orb to which your domain would be bound."
She answered, the heavy sound of footsteps sounding as Nemo, controlling the guardian's body, left the core room to have a look outside.
There were two choices, either just stay here and persevere until he is strong enough to take over the entire Lizzard settlement by himself.
Which was just impossible, if he was discovered which he most likely would, sooner or later.
Then even if his domain is Mythic class, it would still be destroyed by those in higher origins.
There was a vast difference between each origin, after all.
Even a person at the diamond class would have very little to no chance of defeating someone of higher origin.
The people with Bronze domain could at most raise their territory and rank to 2nd origin.
While silver could go as high as the 5th origin rank, for both the lord and their territory.
On the other hand, Gold and above could even then go to the next planet.
"Sigh Guess I will have to return there… and destroy that orb."
Neil sighed, he needed to plan this thoroughly, just rushing in there would certainly be suicide.
While thinking of various ways, he walked out of the building, just like the rest of the residents in his domain.
Bob, Rob, Fay, Ray and Rust were all observing the new environment.
Neil carried Magnar outside, staying within the walls.
The place seemed quite peaceful, no distant growling or noises of battles.
[Slipping Stone Activated.]
For the first time he used the final domain talent, which allowed him to sense any domain present within a range of 20 kilometres.
Also, allowing him to move his entire domain at a certain speed in his chosen direction.
But he would use that later.
After a moment, a screen appeared before his eyes, displaying some information.
"There is only one domain around five kilometres away, to the right." He mumbled.
No information was given about its origin or class but from his faint senses, he was sure it was above the 1st Origin.
"That must be the domain of a Lizzard man, looks like they have already cleared this area."
Neil definitely couldn't stay here for much longer, he needed to leave the whole Lizzard region.
If they were to be discovered by the Lizzard men, then moving his domain away would be the only option.
But that too guaranteed little to no safety.
"Master there are two new notifications." Nemo's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Read them both out." Neil walked towards the wall as the gate opened for him on its own, even though it was only made of wood.
He really loved his domain.
Everything was so magical, and he had just started as a new lord.
Back on earth, they never got to saw any such things.
Though lords or powerful awakened humans were stationed on Earth to protect in case of any breach from the Phantom planet.
"Firstly, the beast at the mythic class is ready inside the Nest. And secondly, you have been summoned back to the Lizzard race settlement in one day."
Nemo said before adding:
"Well, it seems they have sent this message to all the humans they had kidnapped, irrespective if they were thrown into that death zone or not.
Even if you don't go, they wouldn't notice anything but this might be the easiest way of breaking into that establishment."
"…" Neil frowned, normally once new lords return to the Zoratian planet, not only do the establishments give all lords enough time to get used to their new surroundings but even provide them with some resources.
But why would these Lizzard men care for humans who were going to be their slaves, even if their new domains gets destroyed.
After all, unlike Neil, the others won't have anything except their guardian to protect the domain.
Most of them must have just rested one day in their testing realms.
"Thankfully I had prepared things in advance, but is going now really the best choice?" Neil fell into deep thoughts.
He needed to consider various things.
"Rust, go and inspect the area around us, but don't let anyone notice you and if they do, then either kill them or flee, don't let them trail you back to this place.
Also kill and bring back any weak creature you find." Neil called out, as the big vulture let out a shriek and flew away.
Within moments, it disappeared into the cloud.
Neil stared at the sky, the two suns shining brightly, far away from one another.
Previously, with two suns present around the Zoratian planet, it never experienced night.
But then a black moon appeared, people believed it was from the phantom planet.
Or maybe some really powerful monster in its slumber.
But along with it, the strange black moon brought nights.
A certain period of time in a day when everything is covered by darkness.
That is the time when the highest numbers of Links open.
Links may open anywhere on the planet, connecting to the phantom planet, allowing those abominations to pour out and wreak havoc.
Unfortunately, Neil was yet to learn about most of such things.
Then he glanced over his status, the third day had been rather bountiful because of his cloud vulture's help after all.
『
(Bronze): 76 / 1000
(Silver): 35 / 500
(Gold): 5 / 100
(Diamond): 1 / 5
(Mythic): 0 / 2
』
[Shards: 6420]
There was still a day before he needed to make a choice.
In that time, he could fight one mythic class creature and also strengthen his defences further.
"Let's go with watch towers this time." Neil mumbled and made his purchases, sadly he could only buy two of them right now.
[You have purchased a Watch Tower.]
[800 Shards used.]
[You have purchased a Watch Tower.]
[800 Shards used.]
[Shards: 4820]
Then, he made yet another purchase.
[You have purchased a Cloud Vulture.]
[Used 3000 shards.]
[Shards: 1820]
Neil sighed, he really needed to get a lot of shards, it would take a lot of time to fill up his army at this rate.
Sadly though, there didn't even seem to be many creatures around his domain currently.
Instantly, just as he spent the shards, Bob and Rob got to work; while one of the rooms started glowing in the barracks.
His new troop was being born.
"I should also set those pressure disc traps around my domain too, though I wonder what they actually do."
Neil spoke as he looked around and finally his gaze landed over the newly built workshop.
He was yet to check it out, maybe shards might be used there as well.
So, holding onto the remaining shards he headed towards the workshop.
"Nemo, can you search about more info on the Phantom race? Also try to get the footage of ship number 7, before and after it had exploded." He spoke, hoping to get some info at least.
"Alright master, I am on it." Nemo responded enthusiastically. The whole incident was too strange.
Aside from himself, Neil didn't really remember anyone, for whom the Lizzard race might have attacked the ship number 7.
Also was the explosion really done by them?
While pondering all these questions, he approached the new building in his territory.
The workshop actually looked like the sort of hut, kids would draw in their drawings, or more like an ancient shop.
The doors were open and a dwarf could be seen seated over a chair behind a counter.
'Another dwarf? Is my territory going to be filled with dwarfs?' Neil wondered, walking into the workshop.
"Well dwarfs are certainly hard working and very talented, so it is a good thing." Nemo said before getting back to her work.
The workshop was rather spacious from inside with several rooms, for crafting various things.
"Greetings Lord, I am Mob." The dwarf said, jumping off the chair and bowing deeply.
"Oh… welcome to the Graveyard." Neil said, wondering why even their names were so similar.
But maybe it was for the better, at least they were easy to remember this way.
"So what's your speciality?" Neil questioned, directly getting to the main topic.
"I can create various sorts of things, such as those weapons, armors, normal clothes, decorative and more." Mob pointed around and spoke proudly.
