Little Lord's Dark Castle

"Spicy is indeed spicy enough, but other aspects are still not good enough. The taste is too simple, far from the smoothness of hot pot as I remember. It would be great if there were butter and pepper."

Chu Xin, who had just finished cooking the venison slices, savored the taste and analyzed the direction of further improvement of the hot pot, while the pig-headed cook carefully recorded it.

Although the overall taste is a bit lacking, it is still very refreshing to eat. Under the sizzling heat, the whole body is warm and the cold is completely eliminated.

I have to say that snowy days and hot pot are a perfect match.

Cao Tuan couldn't get used to this abnormally spicy food, so he gave up completely after tasting a small piece of venison, but Bingmeng liked hot pot surprisingly, and almost ate venison twice the size of his body, but his stomach didn't hurt at all. Seeing the changes, it seems that the food you eat has been packed into a different dimension.

After dinner, it was completely dark, and the cold winter night came much more often than in the morning.

But this can't stop the energetic Bingmeng and Caotuan at all. The two little things found a new toy, Chu Xin's sled.

Right now, they were sitting outside on a sled, galloping happily on the snow, even though the surroundings were dark, it didn't affect their fun at all.

The ghost wolves as drivers, as undead creatures, they are naturally not affected by the night, and they run and fly in the snow with their legs scattered.

Although Caotuan and Bingmeng often compete when eating, their relationship is getting better and better under this kind of interaction. They fish, play cards, eat and drink together every day, and they have become grass friends and cat friends.

Xiaoqing and Tie Lin don't have their energy. They seem to be affected by the weather recently, and their spirits are very sleepy. They spend most of the day sleeping and rarely see them moving.

"Perhaps we can organize a sledding race some other day!" Chu Xin thought joyfully, rubbing her chin.

Ignoring the two little guys outside, Chu Xin returned to his room. At night, it was time for him to exercise his spirit and liver copy.

With the smell of hot pot all over her body, Chu Xin simply took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then buried herself on the bed.

He opened the star-up panel of the territory, and he checked the star-up conditions on it. After this period of time, a lot has been completed, and only the last few conditions are left.

【领地升星条件】：1.请将当前领地范围扩充至20.1公里（已达成）；2.请将领主星级提升到五星（已达成）；3.请将领地综合势力值提升到点（已达成）；4.领地内无任何怪物群体或是其他势力（已达成）；5.领地内人口达到2000（未达成）；6.领地摧毁五星级及以上领地一处（未达成）；7.领地具备七星及以上实力强者一名（已达成）
"Before the territory is promoted to five-star, only the last two conditions are left. Destroy the five-star territory and expand the population to 2000."

"The goal of the five-star territory has already been established. The three forces of the Three Kingdoms in the south and the territory of the Beiyu people are all suitable goals. Solving any place can complete this star-up condition."

"In terms of population, there are still about 300 people left. This is simple, just continue to recruit in the copy of the land of exile."

...

Population is a requirement for star promotion. It takes a little time to complete the dungeon. The real headache for Chu Xin is to destroy the five-star territory.

If it is just to wipe out a five-star territory, Chu Xin can now serve as a soldier in the territory and easily achieve this goal.

But these two places, one is a six-star territory, and the other is a reunion of three five-star territories, so it is not so easy to deal with.

The most important thing is that at this stage, Chu Xin is unable to judge the forces behind the other party. It would be a very bad thing to provoke the advance army of a certain empire.

Therefore, for these places, the golden villain still needs further investigations to obtain more information so that he can better formulate corresponding strategies.

At the same time, there is another very important thing, that is, hoarding magic spar, which can ensure that the first time to defeat the opponent, and completely erase the space transmission beacon of the opponent's backing force.

These are the few important things that Chu Xin is going to do this winter.

In terms of the development planning of the territory, there is an imminent thing to do, and that is the drainage system of the territory.

In the past, the territory was protected by gentle wind and light rain, and the territory would not encounter heavy rain and drainage difficulties, so it did not think too much about this aspect, and simply built a few shallow drainage ditches.

But now it was snowing, the wind and drizzle had no effect on the snow, a large amount of snow was crowded in the territory, and when it melted, it would turn into a large amount of snow water.

Without a perfect drainage system, many buildings will be soaked in wet muddy water, and even some low-lying places may be flooded.

Chu Xin gave a general idea about this matter. Ron led people to plan and design. After the design drawings were approved by Chu Xin, the construction could officially start.

Ron is also trying to get the ducks on the shelves now. He only had experience as a village head in the past, but now he is adapting and growing quickly under the pressure of the environment.

He is over 50 years old and has rich life experience and experience. Chu Xin still believes that he can do things well.

This time domestic sewage was also included in the planning and design of the entire drainage system. This area is not a big problem in the territory. The toilets in the basic buildings themselves have the function of sewage collection.

After the biggest problem is solved, the remaining things to consider are the sewage from daily bathing, laundry, and kitchen logistics. Chu Xin plans to build a three-stage sedimentation tank and simply filter it.

After arranging the matter, Chu Xin officially started to practice at night.

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and under the effect of advanced concentration, his mind quickly became ethereal.

There was a subtle fluctuation in the mental power of Chu Xin's body, and gradually, his whole breath merged with the air.

At this moment, if someone walks in, they will find that although Chu Xin can be seen in the room, in the spiritual sense, there is no him at all.

This ability is actually a bit like the use of mental power in illusion, but it's not entirely like that. Chu Xin didn't change the surrounding environment, but changed himself, blending with the surrounding environment.

Most strong men never search with their own eyes, and often use their tyrannical mental power to conduct large-scale searches. With this ability, he can easily become an invisible person under the opponent's nose.

...

Speaking of which, this breath assimilation and concealment ability was researched by Chu Xin based on the breath concealment function unlocked by the territory not long ago. It is the same principle, but the target is changed from the territory to the individual.

The Black Castle will not explain the principle of this function, but Chu Xin can reverse it according to the changes in the atmosphere of the territory, and after repeated researches, he really succeeded in tinkering with it.

Chu Xin has always been very concerned about Gou Ming, so since the research of this ability, it has been ranked first in mental strength training.

After these days of training, he has now successfully reduced the time of breath assimilation and concealment from the initial time of more than half an hour to the current ten seconds.

But Chu Xin is still not particularly satisfied with this time. The ideal time in his mind is one second. After all, in many urgent situations, one second sooner can decide life or death.

In the bedroom, Chu Xin's breath is constantly assimilating-recovering, assimilating-recovering... Just like a swimmer practicing holding his breath, he is constantly expanding his limit in this way.

The half-night time passed just like that.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door of Chu Xin's bedroom, and he opened the door with mental strength, and he saw Friday unexpectedly.

After going to the Continent of Wind to fight on Friday, after more than half a month, he finally returned to the territory.

In fact, Chu Xin has been living on Friday these days. It has grown rapidly. The bones on its body have been fully promoted to the gold class, and its strength has gradually stabilized at the upper six-star level.

It's been a long time since I saw him, but Friday's body has a little more power, and he really has a bit of a skeleton king's aura.

But the moment he saw Chu Xin, Friday's feeling softened, and he turned back to the cute little skull he used to be.

"Master, I'm back!" Friday's soul fire was beating happily, and the skeleton mouth full of bones opened slightly, as if smiling.

It can definitely be regarded as a different kind among skeletons, a rare undead with rich emotions, not like those souls who are muddled.

"Sit down and talk, how was the harvest?" Chu Xin stopped the mental exercise, patted the seat beside the bed, and signaled Friday to come over.

Friday did not include the lake, so he put away the bone knife and sat down.

"Hey, my undead army has expanded a lot in the past. The size of the undead knight army has now exceeded [-], and its strength has basically remained above four stars. For the skeleton army, the total number of skeleton warriors and skeleton archers is about [-]." The number has reached around [-], and the zombie army has also exceeded a thousand."

"This time, Wende and King Kong have also grown a lot in strength, but they didn't come back with me this time, and stayed in the territory over there."

"Master, when you go there to have a look, it will definitely surprise you."

……

Maybe it was because he hadn't seen Chu Xin for too long. On Friday, he talked a lot, and most of the time Chu Xin listened to it. Looking at this little skeleton, he felt a sense of pride that his own child had finally grown up.

In fact, Chu Xin has always been aware of the situation on the sub-territory, and has always had a good idea of ​​the general situation.

...

He knew that a city was also built there on Friday, and its appearance was built with reference to the city in the current territory. In the center of the city, there is also a huge castle, which should be specially built for him.

However, Chu Xin didn't interrupt it, nor did he show any appearance he already knew, but put on a look of great interest.

He knew that he wanted to surprise himself on Friday.

"I'll be there in a few days. For these two days, you stay in the territory first, relax for two days, go fishing, and play cards with Cao Tuan and the others." Chu Xin touched Friday's bald head without looking at her expression , he can roughly guess now that Yue Mo looks like a loving father.

"But I'm worried over there, I'd better go and have a look tomorrow!" Friday said hesitantly.

Chu Xin smiled, and said warmly: "Don't worry, Wende is watching over there, and nothing will happen. It's work, you have to combine work and rest."

As if seeing the concern in Friday's eyes, Chu Xin continued: "You know, I didn't raise you up so that you could become a weapon of war without emotion. Even if you are an undead, you can still have your own life And happiness, don't worry, they won't be unwilling to be with you just because you are an undead."

He knew what was worrying about Friday, fearing that he would be rejected by Xiaoqing and the others. After all, no one would be willing to stay with a dead soul except the master.

This is an inferiority complex unique to Friday. Chu Xin knows that Friday has always been very envious of human bodies. It longs to be able to eat and play with other people like normal people.

Regarding Friday, he actually felt guilty in his heart. As his strength grew, Chu Xin felt that what he had promised at the beginning was a matter of little hope.

It is difficult for a human to transform into an undead. If an undead wants to transform into a human, it should not be easier than conquering the Dark Land, but Chu Xin has never forgotten this promise and has always kept it in his heart.

Chu Xin's words at this moment made Friday's emotions surge. If it had tears, it should have shed tears at this time, but it didn't have tears, so it could only nod heavily.

After talking with Friday for a while, Chu Xin let him rest in the room. Although the undead didn't seem to want to rest, Chu Xin forced him to sleep.

Friday learned to sleep, from the very beginning when he was a little skeleton, Chu Xin knew this.

Looking at the little skeleton lying beside his bed, Chu Xin smiled, without the slightest fear in his heart, it should be a horrifying scene, but instead he felt a little warm.

Maybe, this is the loneliness of the empty nesters!

Lying on the bed, Chu Xin greeted Xiaoqing and Cao Tuan one by one, and asked them to bring their little friends to have fun tomorrow, fishing, sledding, playing cards...the same thing, must take Make up for Friday's absence from the territory.

After arranging the activities for Friday and tomorrow, Chu Xin continued to brush up the copy of Land of Exile.

In the dungeon exchange of Land of Exile, 500 battle points are needed to exchange for a human refugee, and his round of gains can be exchanged for three people, with a population of more than 300. After conversion, he probably needs to clear the customs more than 100 times.

The most uncomfortable thing is that the situation in the dungeon changes every time, many places will change, the route is not static, and he often has the risk of overturning.

Therefore, it is relatively conservative to say that it is more than 100 times to clear the customs. Even if it is converted into a 10-minute round, it will take at least [-] or [-] hours, excluding the loss of time and rest in the middle.

Converted to normal progress, I am afraid it will take three days to get the liver down.

There is a long way to go!
