Inside the Lord Mansion.


    Kael looked at himself in the mirror, feeling somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.


    "Can anyone tell me what’s going on?" he said, bewildered as he looked at the upright golden ears reflected in the mirror.


    nna watched Kael’s appearance, hiding to the side and giggling.


    "Kael, has anyone ever told you that the moreplex and awesome the elements on you be?" Curious, nna reached out to touch the ears on top of Kael’s head.


    It was a wolf’s ear, with pale gold fluff that looked adorable. After nna stroked it, his tail instinctively stood up.


    But then, as if feeling a bit down, it drooped listlessly. Seeing him like this, nnaughed without saying a word.


    "Is it because of the influence of the Totem Power? I think the Wolf King only has a rudimentary grasp of this power."


    "It should be..." Just like the previous Demonic Seduction, Kael had used the Life Treasury as a vessel to store the Totem Power, releasing it to enhance himself was the simplest way to use the Totem Power.


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    But perhaps because the Shadow Wolf had sessfully reshaped the Totem to its own form, there were still some other reactions when using the power.


    Thinking of this, he grew envious of yers who weren’t affected by skill statuses.


    Some powerful skills, when used, required paying a price.


    If he were a yer, he wouldn’t even need to mind the strain on his body from the Magic Silk Thread pulling at him; at worst, you just die on the spot and resurrect to continue fighting.


    But he didn’t have the ability to resurrect right now.


    "Don’t make that face. Those golden ears are quite cute too," nna said.


    Gently rubbing his little ears, the pleasant sensation made Kael unconsciously reveal a contented smile on his face.


    But quicklying to his senses, he looked at nna somewhat discontentedly and said, "Don’t mess with my ears!"


    Although nna hadn’t interacted much with Kael, she could tell his words didn’t match his true feelings. It was rare for her to see Kael like this.


    Compared to his usual seriousness, Kael seemed yful now because of the ears.


    Kael heaved a sigh and said:


    "I’ve spent so much time building up an image of sufficient authority, it would be really frustrating if these damned ears were to ruin all that."


    While giggling and fiddling with his ears, Kael squirmed restlessly, then he heard her say:


    "The people who truly revere you don’t care if you have these ears or not. It’s probably like when you were possessed by the demonic state, it will naturally fade after a while."


    "That’s also true..." Kael nodded. He was far past the stage he was at when he first arrived in the domain.


    Leading the Rangers to conquer the Dungeon, eradicating and assimting enemies, having sessfullypleted the first phase of reward distribution, was already enough to greatly boost the morale of the Rangers who had lost their former lord.


    Solid aplishments were the source of prestige.


    "Never mind, let’s leave it at that for now," Kael sighed, looking at nna, and quietly asked, "What’s the situation in the Newman Domain now?"


    Kael hadn’t forgotten that there was also a Dungeon in the Newman Domain.


    Limited by the defensive forces andnd size of Newman Domain itself, they needed fewer troops to arrange.


    If he remembered correctly, that Dungeon was located at the edge of three territories. With the cooperation of the three domains, resisting the Dungeon was rtively easy.


    Or perhaps it’s domains like Lancaster that are the odd ones out right now. One domain guarding a Dungeon on its own is indeed bold.


    "It’s going quite well. Father is very cautious in his affairs, and my uncles from back then know each other well. There won’t be many conflicts," nna said with a lightugh.


    "Hmm? The lords of the other two domains are also close to Uncle Newman?" Kael really didn’t know this.


    "Yes, they were allpanions who went to sea with father before, trustworthy enough to rely on each other’s support," she replied.


    After pondering a moment, Kael spoke softly, "About the domain, I n to rearrange it a bit. The original Titan Town expansion n will continue.


    Besides that, we’ll add a new construction n for a Twisted Jungle township. Unlike Titan Town, the primary builders there will still be Undead, but we’ll allow them to build their own houses.


    Or rather, to fill the gap in the town infrastructure."


    "You got town infrastructure in this stage of the rewards? Isn’t this just the first phase?" nna was startled; getting such an item in the first phase was extremely rare.


    As the name implies, town infrastructure is a special framework rewarded by the World Mother. Once a lord chooses the deployment area for the town infrastructure, it will directly consume nearby resources to create a town with basic functional areas.


    Of course, since it’s basic areas, many detailed civic functions will certainly not be covered.


    But anyhow, simply snapping your fingers to generate a town on an emptynd still saves a lot of construction time for a Border Lord.


    "Perhaps the World Mother is looking out for me?"


    Kael said calmly.
