Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Kalanis’s eyes lit up.

She looked at the pitch-black stone in Lear’s hand, feeling quite surprised.

Is this the legendary obsidian that has a powerful suppressive effect on magic?

What a treasure!

In many legends, there are scenes of powerful mages imprisoned in obsidian cages unable to escape.

A powerful spellcaster, yet helpless against a mere stone, truly dramatic.

I didn’t expect the area occupied by that werewolf tribe to be so valuable.

She took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

"My lord, I conducted a preliminary survey before, and the reserves of the obsidian ore vein are astonishing, but more preparation is needed before we can start mining."

"We also need to send another team of experts to determine the exact reserves..."

The area where the Bone-Eating Werewolves reside is over 300 kilometers from Weilu City. Normally, this distance is considerable, let alone now with the roads blocked by ice and the climate extremely cold.

Attempting a large-scale mining operation is fraught with difficulties.

Lear nodded.

"That makes sense."

Saying this, he looked at the bubbles slowly descending from the sky.

"But we have an exceptionally strong transportation fleet, so the difficulty in mining might be less than you imagine."

Saying this, he looked at the nearby staff member.

"Go and summon Bain."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The young man nodded with excitement and quickly left. Before long, the white-haired Mud Swamp People hero hurried over.

"Your Majesty, good day..."

"No need for formalities... How much longer until the Bubble Beast hatchlings can break out of their shells?"

Bubble Beasts are capable of laying eggs every six months, with the first laying occurring just after they entered the swamp.

It’s been more than half a year since then. Two months ago, the Bubble Beasts laid eggs for the second time.

However, Bain was fully in charge this time, so he hadn’t been paying much attention.

At the same time, around early April, the Vine Fairy started nurturing babies among the vines, and the second batch of Vine Fairies is expected to be born after October.

The unique ability of the Bubble Beast to manipulate bubbles is incredibly useful.

Especially in transportation, it’s simply a blessing.

One bubble can function as a transport vehicle, and each Bubble Beast can generate over 30 bubbles!

Just a dozen Bubble Beasts can easily move goods that would require hundreds of carts.

Moreover, the Bubble Beasts’ carrying capacity doesn’t mean they can only transport goods; they can just as well be used for mining with bubbles.

Bain, upon hearing this, immediately became alert.

"Your Majesty, I confirmed a couple of days ago — this batch of Bubble Beasts is expected to hatch in about a week."

Currently, there are as many as 65 Bubble Beasts!

Paired up, that’s 32 pairs, each capable of producing three hatchlings. Multiply that by 3, and you get 96. Adding the current number, after hatching, the total will reach 161!

Once this batch of Bubble Beasts hatches, the carrying power at hand will skyrocket like never before.

The prerequisites for mining obsidian will soon be resolved.

Another point is the safety issue.

But that’s even easier to solve; just send a team led by the Vampire Extraordinary to guard the area.

With so many troops and generals, there’s nothing to worry about.

Regarding labor for mining, the Delthan people are ready, assign three to five thousand of them, and they’ll dig through any mine.

Lear immediately informed Bain about the obsidian ore vein and concluded.

"You should immediately prepare for the mining operations, and undertake preliminary surveys and preparations."

"Once the Bubble Beasts hatch, start working immediately."

"Dig some out first and have the Blacksmith Shop ready for corresponding research."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bain listened with elation, thinking about what obsidian is.

A treasure with magic immunity!

For spellcasters, it’s practically a wall of despair!

Just looking at it can be a headache.

Moreover, Weilu City has top-tier forgers like the Fray; once mining begins, it won’t be long before it can be applied to weapons and equipment!

Their industries have already formed a system.

Even if they can’t develop it in the short term, they can utilize the teaching abilities of the Swamp Boggarts to set up specialized research topics and establish challenge-solving teams!

If that’s still not enough, there’s still the Ancient Goblin God overseeing things...

Though Weilu City hasn’t been built for even a year, its foundations run deep upon closer examination.

In no time, all the Delthans gathered at the square, these strong-bodied but timid beings seemed extremely uneasy.

They seemed afraid of being executed by onlookers around them.

Soon, the City Hall staff began to intervene, skillfully registering, allocating housing, and arranging work.

A series of processes ensued, silently rerouting thousands of people into various departments.

Throughout, there were no mistakes; the administrative system of the domain had been refined and perfected through practice and improvement.

The nature of the Delthans also determined that arrangements for them could be more audacious.

With thousands of new hands joining, the personnel gap in Weilu City was immediately filled, and projects that previously couldn’t start due to a lack of manpower began to advance.

After finishing all this, it was already the evening of the 7th.

As Lear was about to enjoy his dinner, he suddenly sensed something, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

With a flash of his figure, he appeared above Weilu City.

Focusing on the distance, soon enough, a black cloud was seen approaching from afar, the sound of flapping wings growing louder.

Focusing his gaze, innumerable vampires appeared within his line of sight.

These evil creatures, who feed on blood, were quickly approaching with their wings flapping.

Leading them was the Extraordinary Vampire — Tulos Stevens.
