Chapter 229: Rune Factory
Vlad was surprised to see such a massive statue, especially as he noticed it was made out of pure gold. Although it did not have much value in the new world, it was still a precious metal associated with power and wealth, so such a massive statue was bound to draw gazes. "Overlord?" Even though it was impressive and he should feel flattered, Vlad did not understand the goal of such an opulent display.
As if knowing the thoughts crossing his mind, the sage voice of Overlord reached Vlad through the A.I. Chip. "The Xaos Tower is the core of Xaos City. Many people come here as a form of pilgrimage, and it is important to elevate your figure in their hearts. Your name must rise to legend and myth if we want it to be strong enough to rule a kingdom that extends beyond continents."
Once more, Vlad could not help but nod and accept that when it came to kingdom building, Overlord was much more capable. While Vlad made plans to enhance the power of his warriors, the A.I. Chip Clone generated schemes to make his name echo in the hearts of people with such strength that it could inspire respect and loyalty even on the other side of the world.
"Jormungandr, Freya, go and look around if you wish. I will do the same. If anything important arises, I will call you." Vlad was eager to carry on with his demon soul’s project, but upon seeing the bustling metropolis that was Xaos City, he could not contain the desire to explore it.
The small yellow cat and the viking princess smiled as they heard those words. They were eager to investigate the city, so they nodded to Vlad before jumping off the demon summon and moving into the streets.
Vlad guided the demon summon to the ground and stored it in the parchment before moving across the city as well. He had yet to revert to his normal appearance and kept the disguise he used in the Azarin Empire, so he did not draw too many gazes and was able to calmly look around.
The Silent Wind Military Base had truly ceased to exist, as Xaos City was simply too different. Not only was it larger, with more buildings, and greater defenses, but there were stores that sold normal merchandise, and a flash of surprise appeared in Vlad’s eyes as he saw a gaming area.
