Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 572 The Last Day, the Inheritance Ends! (5000)

As he pondered this, Cao Xing arrived at the industrial zone again.

Ten identical black buildings appeared ahead, with plumes of steam rising from their chimneys.

These buildings are the workshops of expert blacksmiths.

Cao Xing pushed open the door of a blacksmith shop, and a bustling scene immediately appeared before him.

The sounds of knocking and clanging filled the air.

The fire in each forging furnace was turned up to the maximum, and the blacksmiths placed the fired blanks onto the forging table to forge them.

Hundreds of blacksmiths were working with all their might, and they didn't even notice Cao Xing's arrival.

Harold spotted Cao Xing, immediately put down his work, and came to his side to bow.

"Good day, my lord."

Cao Xing nodded. "Harold, how's the forging progress on your end?"

"Reporting to my lord."

The blacksmith reported, "I have successfully forged the first Neros cannon. With sufficient materials, we can produce one every five days."

Cao Xing's eyes showed admiration after hearing this.

A production rate of one unit every five days is quite impressive.

After all, these epic-level artillery pieces are incredibly powerful, and each one represents a strategic force.

He said approvingly, "Not bad. How's the progress of the other blacksmiths?"

Harold continued his report: "The other blacksmiths are also working very hard. The two expert blacksmiths are working hard to forge the Guardian Swords, and they can probably forge seven or eight a day."

"The remaining senior and intermediate blacksmiths are crafting high-quality armor, and they can make about two to three hundred suits a day."

Cao Xing nodded again.

Clearly, these blacksmiths were also quite efficient.

Soon all the warriors in their own territory will be able to wear fine armor and use golden weapons!
Moreover, even if more advanced blueprints become available in the future, these weapons and equipment will not be wasted after they become obsolete.

Cao Xing can take it to the trading channel and sell it to other survivors, or to merchants in this world.

After all, as we've seen from the previous transactions, the value of any piece of gold equipment in this world is basically over one million crowns.

High-level gold weapons like the [Guardian's Sword] can cost over five million crowns.

In other words, Cao Xing can earn tens of millions of crowns every day just by relying on these blacksmiths!

Thinking about this made me feel better.

"Very good, keep up the good work, Harold."

"Tell the other blacksmiths that I will send someone to bring their families over in a while."

These were the conditions that Cao Xing had promised.

However, he did not take immediate action, but decided to wait a while.

Firstly, the soldiers were all focused on improving their skills and had no extra time to undertake a long journey to bring back the blacksmiths' families.

Secondly, the new expansion is about to be released.

When the Blood Legion arrives, even these lords will become its targets.

As the old king had said, the Blood Legion would not harm ordinary people.

If we bring the family members back to our territory now, they might be implicated when the expansion is released.

Therefore, it is safer for them to continue living in their original places for the time being.

Harold replied solemnly, "Understood, Your Excellency. I will convey this to them and supervise the work carefully!"

"very good."

After Cao Xing finished speaking, he left the blacksmith shop.

Then his gaze fell on the machinery factory next door.

"Perfect timing, let's go check if the goblin Locke has been slacking off lately."

Before he could get close, a shrill voice came to his ear.

"Oh! Look who's back!"

"It is our wise and mighty lord!"

A short figure quickly approached; it was the goblin.

As soon as he arrived, he excitedly said, "By the God of the Underworld, every time I see Your Excellency, I feel awe and even want to bow down in worship. You..."

Cao Xing waved his hand, quickly interrupting him, "Locke, stop right there."

The goblin immediately shut his mouth and then gave a sheepish grin.

That's just his nature; every time he sees Cao Xing, he'll start by praising him.

If you don't stop him, he can praise you for three days and three nights in a row with different words!

Of course, Cao Xing was already used to it.

"Locke, tell me about the progress of your work."

Di Shen's expression turned serious, and he quickly said, "My lord, in the few days you were away, I have successfully built four Frost Catapults."

"In addition, we worked overtime to build two more big machines!"

"Oh? What kind of big guy is it?" Cao Xing asked with interest.

The goblin Locke smiled mysteriously, then turned around and said, "Please take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps echoed from the machine factory.

Before long, two large robots, each nearly seven meters tall and made entirely of refined iron and mithril, came over.

The left hand holds a giant drill bit, and the right hand holds a massive excavation device.

These are the blueprints I redeemed from the Legion Shop last time—Large Mining Robot.

Cao Xing exclaimed, "Excellent! This kind of robot can greatly improve our mining efficiency."

"Locke, we just need to build six more mining robots."

"Understood, Lord!"

Locke smiled and said, "Then I'll get back to work now!"

"Go."

After saying that, the goblin quickly turned around and ran into the goblin factory with his short legs.

At the same time, Cao Xing pressed the communication device to his ear and said:
“Hilda, Ilena, come to the vicinity of the machine factory.”

The two women's voices responded from beside him.

"I'll be right there, my lord."

"I understand."

Before long, three beautiful figures walked over.

It was none other than the White Serpent Ilena, the Green Serpent Lana, and the Blood Spider Queen Hilda.

At that moment, Lana the Green Snake also noticed Hilda's arrival.

The Blood Spider Queen walked forward with her eight long, slender legs, followed by a sea of ​​blood.

It was her army of blood spiders.

The two women were both ruler-level beings, and their auras were quite astonishing. At this moment, they even seemed to be at odds with each other.

Cao Xing's voice rang out.

"Ilena, Hilda, now give these two robots a status buff."

"Also, give Lana a buff."

Irena obediently did as she was told.

The Blood Spider Queen glanced at Lana, chuckled, and casually raised her right hand, releasing a Queen's Will onto the robots and the green snakes.

Lana felt somewhat annoyed by Hildana's arrogant and disdainful gaze.

Her narrow eyes widened instantly, and she looked at the Blood Spider Queen with a hostile gaze.

At this moment, they were like giant snakes and spiders in the jungle confronting each other, exuding a primal threat!

Hildag chuckled, "What? Do you want to fight this queen?"

Lana scoffed, "Bring it on, who's afraid of who?"

A surge of azure energy coursed around her, and scales gradually covered her body, as if she were about to transform.

While watching Lana's serious demeanor, Hildag's eyes still held a look of great interest.

Then he slowly shook his head and said, "You don't have much of the Lord's blessing on you, so you can't beat me."

"You're not even a match for a few of my Blood Spiders, so you'd better not humiliate yourself."

Hilda was telling the truth; although her rank was one rank lower than Lana's.

But if they really fought, this green snake would be no match for it.

After all, she only had one [Ice Healing] spell.

But Lana the Green Snake seemed unconvinced, saying, "How will we know if we don't fight?"

She remained prepared for battle.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Cao Xing interrupted them, saying, "Alright, they are all members of my territory, what are you fighting over?"

"Now, get to the fight!"

Hildak, who was already a die-hard loyalist, would obey his orders 100%.

A smile appeared on her lips, and then she turned around and walked out of the territory.

Behind them followed a vast army of blood spiders.

Even the new member Lana dared not disobey Cao Xing's orders at this moment, and gradually suppressed the blue aura on her body.

Irena, who was standing nearby, grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, let's go out too."

Watching Hilda's retreating figure, Lana snorted and obediently left the territory with her sister.

They watched the green snake and the white snake depart.

Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear again and summoned two polar people.

"Erzhuang, Liuzhuang, take these two robots to the Vala Ruins and another large mining site to help them with mining." "Yes, Lord!"

After saying that, they quickly led the two robots away from the territory.

Both mining sites were hundreds of kilometers away from the territory, and Cao Xing did not send anyone to escort them, nor did he need to.

In any case, with the strength of these two polar people, they are already capable of directly confronting seventh-tier creatures.

In addition, the two mining robots also possess corresponding combat capabilities.

If some survivors or bandits on the road see these two polar people and think they are easy to bully, they might try to steal these two robots.

Then they might need to worry about their safety...

After arranging all this, Cao Xing thought to himself:

"Now that the industrial zone of the territory has been inspected, we can proceed to inspect the agricultural zone next."

He clapped his hands and continued walking towards the buffer zone.

Before long, a large expanse of fertile land covered with greenhouses appeared in front of them.

Conservatively estimated, it covers an area of ​​at least 200 acres, and looks quite spectacular!

Thanks to the tireless efforts of more than 100 villagers in Puteng Village, the agricultural scale of the territory has grown increasingly larger.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips. "Such a large area of ​​fertile land is enough to feed several thousand people."

"If combined with the talents of those female elves, the growth of crops can be accelerated even further."

"At that time, I will be able to achieve complete self-sufficiency in food!"

Thinking about this made me feel better.

After inspecting the agricultural area, he went to the tavern and activated the [Recruit] function.

Then, as usual, I went to the lord's castle and used the exploration function of [Shining Nova].

"Buzz!"

A brilliant meteor streaked across the sky and then randomly landed in a certain area.

In an instant, a blank area on the minimap was lit up.

Cao Xing summoned the Sage Harati again and entrusted the exploration mission to this group of centaurs.

After finishing these tasks, Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "Now, I'm going outside to find those Ice Nest Monsters to fight."

Although he can gain 50% experience even while staying in his territory.

However, he can gain 100% experience points from monsters he kills himself.

The upgrade speed can be improved even further.

His development period is about to end, and now he needs to improve his strength as much as possible!
With a flap of his wings, Cao Xing flew directly into the sky.

He then quickly found a large ice nest in the wild and began his monster-hunting journey.

...

...

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye.

There is one day left until the final wave of monsters begins their siege.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the primeval forest where the ancient elves originally lived.

A group of soldiers dressed in the armor of the Kingdom of Ostia advanced cautiously.

Behind them followed a mage who was also dressed in a black robe, but whose aura was even more powerful, reaching the eighth level!
The eighth-tier mage asked, "Captain Bent, is it in this forest that Alec lost contact?"

Beside him, a squad leader respectfully replied, "Yes, Master Mien!"

"Lord Alek said he found some treasures in this forest and wanted to surprise you and His Majesty the King, so he brought his legion to this territory alone."

Upon hearing this, the mage in the black robe sneered.

"What surprises could he possibly bring me?"

“This forest is so vast that it even hides some beings that I dare not provoke. I wouldn’t be surprised if Alek was swallowed up by those wild beasts.”

Just then, a soldier quickly walked over and said, "Captain Bent! We found signs of a struggle ahead, and also some fragments of armor from the soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, the captain and the black-robed mage immediately raised their heads.

The monk ordered, "Send out all men to search the area ahead."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers quickened their pace and arrived at the target location to begin searching for clues in the surrounding area.

A few minutes later, a soldier approached and respectfully reported, "Lord Mage Mien, we have completed the search!"

“This place used to be an ancient tribe, and we found a lot of clues related to elves here.”

"It looks like this used to be an elven camp."

Upon hearing the word "elf," the mage's eyes lit up with interest once again.

He seemed to understand something.

"Interesting. I knew what kind of surprise Ali was talking about."

"So he wanted to capture these elves himself."

"As a result, his army encountered a formidable enemy here and was completely wiped out, right?"

The monk quickly deduced the whole story.

The squad leader beside him asked with a grave expression, "Lord Mage Mien, should we report this matter to His Majesty the King?"

The black-robed mage pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"This tribe is quite large, and it seems that many elves once lived here."

"No need to report to His Majesty the King. I will go back and report this matter to the Kingdom's Mage Association to see if Lord Theodore can deduce the whereabouts of these elves."

Upon hearing this, the squad leader's expression shifted slightly.

After all, it was somewhat unusual to report such an important matter to the Kingdom's Mage Association instead of the King.

But none of them said anything, after all, these soldiers knew in their hearts that the current regime of the Kingdom of Ostia had long since changed.

It is no longer up to those nobles and royalty to call the shots.

This mage association, which possessed a special power and was growing in size, had almost taken over half of the Kingdom of Ostia.

Especially the president of the Mage Association—Theodore.

In just twenty years since arriving in the Kingdom of Ostia, his strength has soared, advancing from Master level all the way to Hero level.

It is said that it has now begun to strive for the legendary level.

Even the king dared not neglect this man, including the Kingdom's Mage Association, which he controlled.

The captain respectfully replied, "Yes!"

After saying that, the kingdom's soldiers immediately returned home.

...

...

On the other side, in the palace that was the inheritance palace of the Light Mage.

Isabel has been sitting cross-legged on the stone platform in the middle of the lake for almost ten days now.

Thanks to her tireless efforts over the past few days, the aura of light in the entire inheritance space has become increasingly thin.

Finally... as the last wisp of light was absorbed by Isabel, the Holy Light Priest suddenly opened her eyes.

At this moment, she radiated a holy aura, like a preacher walking in the world.

Holy, pure...

Isabel parted her lips slightly and said in an ethereal voice, "Finally... I have completed the inheritance."

"And I have also fully acquired all the power of this legendary mage..."

"Now, it's time to go back and report to the lord."

With that thought in mind, Isabel quickly stood up and stepped out of this land of heritage.

He glanced one last time at this place of heritage and gave a slight bow.

Then he left the palace completely.

...

...

At this moment, Cao Xing is flying in mid-air at a speed of 1147 meters per second.

The boundless snowfield below swept past him rapidly.

A speed exceeding 4,000 kilometers per hour is quite terrifying!
Of course, this state cannot last long.

High-speed movement comes at the cost of rapidly depleting his mental energy.

Just like the tenth-tier dragon Serafis, its normal movement speed can be maintained at two thousand kilometers per hour.

At this speed, it consumes almost no power.

However, in his burst state, Serafis' speed can increase by three or four times, or even seven or eight times!
Similarly, it will greatly deplete its stamina.

This is why most powerful individuals only unleash their full strength in life-or-death battles.

At the same time, Cao Xing, in his burst state, swiftly swept across the mountains, his gaze constantly scanning the area below.

He is looking for an enhanced version of the Ice Nest to farm monsters.

Soon, he saw a strange object about eight meters high, which looked like a crystal sculpture, appear on the plain below.

His eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh? Found another one, not bad luck!"

Just as Cao Xing was about to approach, he discovered that someone else had already gotten there first.

...
