This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Book 1: Chapter 36: The Two Of You Are ‘Left-Behind' Children

After determining my following actions, I was left with thinking about current affairs.

With the cyan bricks and cement, West-Resisting Citys rebuilding work had become quicker by who-knows-how-many-fold. I purposefully kept a damaged and worn-out layer outside the city while building a new city wall inside. This way, the Demons would be baffled upon seeing how easy it is to break down the walls, then shocked to discover that there was a hard, solid layer behind it.

The work of repairing the city wall was completed by Felita, Aleya and the 81 soldiers. With the assistance of magic and sword skills, the building speed was very satisfactory.

With the protection of the reinforced city walls, I believe that theres basically no need to worry about the issue of the citys defenses.

Then, theres the issue of Felitas weapon.

Weapons are a pretty mixed, chaotic mess of things. Some people think that its the most important thing in the world while others think it might as well be trash. According to legends, those bigwigs with Level 10 Swordsmanship are able to make use of ordinary objects like flowers and leaves to overturn mountains and sever seas. Once that strong, its more important to focus on your understanding of your own cultivated martial skills. But when youre in the newbie village, a p2w player wielding a Dragon-Slaying Treasured Blade is able to demolish the average player wielding a Rusty Iron Sword. This is just the reality of it all.

I personally am not able to forge weapons. In the past, there was someone who wanted to teach me, but I refused. My reasoning is that its too inconvenient; imagine squatting by a forging furnace on a hot day. No matter who it is, theyd be tired of it.

But this didnt stop me from hearing the core ideas, exclusive secrets and his experiences.

To sum it up

If you dont know how to forge a good weapon, then just use whatever rare or uncommon materials you have. Its unlikely for rare materials to have property conflicts with each other, so whatever you lose, you lose. This is the so-called being wealthy means you can do whatever you want forging method.

This method was very to my liking.

After finding an old gentleman with experience in forging, I threw all the materials I had on hand to him.

The source of the materials naturally was from the materials gathered from the massacred Demons last time. The majority of the common materials were sold, providing me with a sum of roughly 30 gold coins. As for the uncommon materials, I took them and planned on making Felitas magic wand with them.

By the way, the materials of those Demons Felita killed in the past were all taken away by Pierce and crew.

The old gentleman of the weapon shop indeed lived up to his reputation of having handled iron for a lifetime. He very quickly designed a prototype magic staff. After I looked it over, I altered a few areas and it was a done deal. What we were killing were low-level Demons, after all. Although the materials that dropped were uncommon in nature, they werent uncommon to the point of being rare. At best, Felitas white-tier magic staff was being replaced with a green-tier one. If I wanted to give her a blue-tier equipment, I would have to at least bring over Gobulangs skull and some other high level materials in order to make something on par with Aleyas Roaming Dragon.

Even though it was unremarkable in appearance, I presented this slightly useful magic staff to Felita. When testing it out, Felitas power did increase by a certain amount. To be more accurate, she was able to use more of her true power. Her chanting speed rose by a bit and because the magic staff was made with Cursed SkullandSnake Pupil, there was a small probability of cursing and poisoning the enemy when casting a spell.

This magic staff shall temporarily be namedBlinding Magic StaffImprovement.

By adding the word Improvement onto the original foundation, it signifies that it only helps the user become stronger by a bit. But the essence of its Blinding hasnt changed, but to tell the truth, its still quite weak. At least, its much weaker compared to Aleyas sword. After all, theRoaming Dragonthat Aleya uses was once my dads sword and its said that he spent no less than 6,000 gold coins to buy the sword at the time.

Thats why I was feeling pretty embarrassed when giving Felita the magic staff.

Contrary to what I expected, Felita very much liked it and held it dear to her chest.

After this, I told them the matter of me wanting to go to Yun Hai Territory.

This times journey to Yun Hai Territory, I didnt want to bring Aleya and Felita with me. Despite how good the business talk with Gobulang went, Demons were creatures that werent to be completely trusted. I wasnt entirely sure what type of person the newly arrived Demon would be after Gobulang left. Felita absolutely couldnt come with me since she was the main force of the citys defense; Aleya also couldnt come with me since there were still many remaining things to look after.

As for me, there shouldnt be any danger.

The Overlord of Yun Hai is one of the most prosperous Overlords of Eternal Heaven States 36 Overlords and Yun Hai Territory is one of the more relatively peaceful places. It is especially so because there are a great number of Overlords coming in person to attend the auctions every year; this is the reason why the public security situation inside of Yun Hai Territory is so good. Its highly unlikely for the situation of buying something one moment and getting robbed the next to happen or the situation of silencing the entire auction house with one sentence.

As the organizer of such events, the Overlord of Yun Hai is a person capable of keeping a public venue under control. The principle on which he handles problems is to make whoever causes trouble get the hell out. Basically, Were all Overlords here, if you dont give me, the Overlord of Yunhai, face, then I wont give you face either. If youre unwilling to repent, then dont bother thinking about having dealings with me, well see wholl be uncomfortable then.

Facts showed that more often than not, those who became enemies with the Overlord of Yun Hai didnt fare well.

Its best to not look down upon Yun Hai Territory for being in such a remote place. Their interest network extends all around the world and theyre connected to all big and small chambers of commerce all over the world. If youre able to not provoke this behemoth, then do yourself the favor of not provoking them.

Apart from this, there was still one more important reason for why I wanted to go to Yun Hai this time.

Its reported that this times auction will be held by theYun Hai Phoenix1.

This so-calledYun Hai Phoenixisnt some creature, but rather the Overlord of Yun Hais son and daughter.

A Phoenix(Fenghuang) was originally composed of a female and a male bird, so this saying technically isnt wrong.

The Feng Phoenix is the Overlord of Yun Hais second son Bai Feng while the Huang Phoenix is the Overlord of Yun Hais youngest daughter Bai Huang.2

The son Bai Feng is said to be a rarely seen talent within the ranks of the second generation officials. His reputation is excellent and many talented people want to work under him as his subordinate. Theres always people in his surroundings and he resembles a celebrity with how many girls scream in delight upon recognizing him.

When I was idling around in the past, I heard the discussions on the streets talking about how good it would be if our Yunyang Territory had someone like Bai Feng.

I had never had any dealings with him, but since the entire Overlord circle extremely admired him, it could be clearly seen that he was inherently different from my older brother who was strong in appearance but weak in reality.

As for Bai Huang, shes well-known for her appearance and temperament.

Although I had never seen her before, I remember that one time when my dad came back from an auction in Yun Hai and incited my older brother to chase after Bai Huangat that time, my older brother and princess Lan Nas engagement was already planned out and prepared. In other words, that Bai Huang is a more important role than the countrys princess in my dads eyes.

This makes things a bit more interesting.

Since this time, its said that these two will participate in presiding over this times auction.

Bai Feng should be 20 years old this year and Bai Huang 18 years old. For the time being, theyre considered people of the same generation as I am.

Dont people always have curiosity about what kind of people these children of other peoples family are like?

(The Real) Authors Note:

Volume 1s content is basically finished, the next volume will be a journey logThe Sights and Sounds of Yun Hai.

Speaking of, since its an auction, the Overlord of Yunyang and Li Yi shouldve received an invitation. What will happen next?

1. The Chinese for Phoenix here is , the pinyin is Fenghuang. Google and check out the wiki page to make sense of this.
2. The characters for Bai Feng and Bai Huang are both the characters for their respective phoenix counterparts. The naming scheme is pretty basic.
