"No way!" Adrian suddenly exclaimed as he did not believe that something was given to him.
[You have obtained the Deed of the Land for Timber Village.]
Adrian managed to get the most important reward because the territory expansion system has finally been implemented. After the Valor Guild obtained the highest contribution group reward, the territories that are polluted by the undead war became up for grabs.
The catch of owning those territories though is cleansing them of the miasma and buying them from the territory owner. It was not also applicable for anyone person to buy it as a player must obtain a title of a noble of that kingdom or empire to govern a piece of land. In other words, you would have to jump through dozens of hoops unless the king or emperor has given you that territory.
"I mean it seems that they are entrusting this land to me albeit small but if is very remote and rather safe for other races to hide to. Should I accept Emrys' request?" Adrian thought as the half demons are under persecution now more than ever.
According to what the elder's taught him about Daemonios, they do not look like demons but look like the other race they were born to with a slight variation in their looks. The only thing consistent is that Daemonios inherit the cat's eye look of the Daemos and their hair on top of their head is always in a shade of blue.
"If I provide them this place then I would have villagers already that I can tax. Besides the ones that Emrys is talking about are not really pure Daemonios but their descendants. Some might even be non-combatants and I could not afford to actually guard them." Adrian thought but he would need to have the permission of the elders first.
If Adrian helped the Daemonios then that would also mean that the Daemos have forgiven them from the sins of their forefathers. Adrian does not really care that much but the elders seem to bore quite the resentment against them.
"Anyways, I would ask the elders later and activate the deed now. No point in selling it because this land would become dirt cheap due to no actual roads and extremely far from civilization." Adrian thought but if he actually sold this deed now then he might have gotten an offer of a hundred thousand gold at the very least due to the high demand of top guilds for land.
Item: Deed of Land to Timber Village
Type: Territory Expansion Item
Effect: Whoever uses this item will become the owner of the uninhabited land hidden south of the central continent.
The tier of a deed does not correspond to how difficult it is to get because all deeds are very difficult to obtain. The tier of a deed is equivalent to how many people can live in a territory. Adrian's common tier deed can accommodate about a hundred or so people but that does not mean it is always fixed because a territory could be expanded with resources.
Adrian activated the deed as it glowed in a green light that also encompassed the whole territory. Adrian then felt that he could see everything inside his territory as if he had a bird's eye view of the whole place despite the small territory.
[Congratulations to Player Equinox for becoming a land owner.]
[Please name your small territory.]
Thankfully, the system prompt that Adrian received was not a world message because he remembered that the Valor Guild triggered a world message when they unlocked their territory and Ain receiving a noble title. As for the name of his newfound land, Adrian already found a proper name for it as it was the first thing that popped up in his head.
"This small quaint place will be my very own safe heaven where I do not need to hide from the persecution of the world. Where I would not be hounded by others trying to take advantage of me." Adrian muttered.
[Too long to be registered as a village name.]
Adrian became rather shocked with the reply of the system prompt. He only said those words because he wants to become rather sentimental about owning his own territory despite it being inside a game. It is every man's dream to own a piece of land exclusive for himself.
"Avalon. I will name my territory, Avalon." Adrian stated.
[Congratulations! You have named you own territory Avalon.]
[You can now access the Territory Management Tool. You can only manage your territory when you are physically there yourself.]
Adrian named his new territory from one of the tales that he read when he was a child. He saw that the name Avalon is something like a hidden paradise as the hero of that story recuperated there. The land also can be translated to land of apples as it was described that apples would grow on the land every time regardless of the season.
"Let us check the state of the territory then." Adrian muttered as he opened the Territory Management Tool.
Population: (1 / 150)
Food Storage: Not Applicable
Description: A newly owned territory by the individual named Equinox. Not much has been done because he was left with this abandoned territory by the grace of the spirits of the past dwellers. Huge investments need to be poured into this territory to make it functional and habitable once again. Expect to invest a lot of coins.
"I do not know if the AI of the game is praising me or insulting me with that description. Is there any chance for me to immediately sell it? I do not think I can even revive this ghost town with my financial power." Adrian stated as he knew that only guilds can invest in territories because of the financial power of a group of individuals.
"I should probably start a guild as well. Might as well get some investors. Hehehe…" Adrian thought something devious but he needed to bond with the axe psyche armament first.
Adrian then held the axe psyche armament and he was immediately sent to his subconscious. Sirius and Kanlaon made it their priority to protect their master while the bonding of the last psyche armament. The intense energy that came out from Adrian attracted some rather powerful monsters to his location.
The monsters are attracted because they need to consume powerful sources of energies in order to evolve into something more powerful.
