"Master, the secret passage from here to the dungeon has been connected."

Bix stood excitedly next to Zhan in a maid outfit, holding up a map with both hands, like a primary school student offering homework as a sacrifice to the teacher.

"Everything is done strictly in accordance with your requirements. I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with its safety."

"Okay, I get it, you did a good job."

Taking the map from Bix's hand, Zhan glanced at it, and then nodded with satisfaction. Since having this dwarf, the construction speed of the dungeon has been rapid. Although Bix is ​​only a man who is less than a hundred years old.

A dwarf, but any race that lives underground must have a certain degree of excavation experience, just like there are few fishermen who live by the sea who can't swim. Although they are not as professional as gray dwarves,

But at least how to avoid collapse, how to ensure air circulation and dust removal is still no problem for Bix.

Hearing Zhan's answer, Bix was obviously very happy. She smiled sheepishly, and then stood aside obediently and stopped talking. Bix did not notice that the demon's mark was slowly changing.

Her own thoughts and opinions. If it had been before, just being so close to a demon would have been enough to scare her into unconsciousness.

But now, standing next to Zhan, the instinctive fear and awe have not disappeared. Instead, they are developing in another direction under the influence of the imprint - due to excessive fear, Bix is ​​trying every means to get her new life.

The clever dwarf is also very clear about the favor of her master. As long as she is still useful to her master, she will not end up like the unlucky child who was eaten by the devil in the stories told by her parents.

This is what any living being would do in order to protect themselves, but the demon mark distorts this self-protective emotion. When Bix tried her best to gain Zhan's approval to save her life, the demon king's words came to her.

The recognition also made her feel unprecedented happiness and strong satisfaction. In the city of dwarfs, Bix was just an inconspicuous one among thousands of her kind. Even because of her out-of-the-box and adventurous temperament, Bix was not

She is loved by most dwarves. But here, she can actually be valued by a legendary demon. For Bix, this is simply a wonderful experience like a dream.

Bix is ​​even secretly congratulating herself now on what a wonderful fate it was to be kidnapped into the dungeon. Otherwise, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to realize that she still has such value.

Zhan naturally sees the changes in Bix, which is not surprising. He can be sure that before long, Bix will completely become his dependents wholeheartedly. The dwarf himself is not a determined person.

Race. They are smart, but timid. They are easy to control even without markings.

Unlike the dark elves…………

Zhan shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Verna, who was silently watching her "former subordinates" drive the lizards into the passage. The dark elf's mind was very determined, and generally there was no way to accept the engraving. Even when she was unconscious.

It's the same thing, but for Zhan, this is a good research material.

Thinking of this, Zhan withdrew his gaze and looked around. At this moment, the goblins beside him were working hard - they were holding mining hoes, stepping on the ground with their feet, and muttering in their mouths.

I don't know what they are talking about. But soon, with a soft "buzz" sound, I saw a square stone slab with bright red patterns emerging from the ground at the feet of the goblin, covering the originally uneven land.

.

In just a moment, the originally uneven ground was completely covered with neat and clean stone slabs, becoming smooth and clean. For Zhan, this is a very important part of the expansion of the dungeon. Because these floors are carved with bright red patterns.

The land where it is located is the "real" territory of the underground city.

If there is any flaw in the dungeon system, it is that it has extremely limited help in improving Zhan En's personal strength. As the master of the dungeon, Zhan En can be said to live and die with his city, which means

This means that only by upgrading the dungeon can Zhan's own strength be improved. If the dungeon is not upgraded, then Zhan's experience value will not change at all no matter how many monsters he kills.

There are only two ways to upgrade the dungeon, either by completing the tasks it releases, or by destroying the enemies within the dungeon's sphere of influence. Only in this way can Zhan's dungeon gain enough experience points to upgrade its level.

Of course, this setting is not without its benefits. Because it means that even if Zhan has been sleeping in the room with his head covered, as long as there are monsters who are not afraid of death and dare to enter his sphere of influence, they will be killed and then automatically

Convert it into experience points to upgrade Zhan.

But conversely, if the dungeon itself cannot be upgraded, then no matter what Zhan does, it will be useless. On the contrary, other monsters belonging to the dungeon can get enough experience to upgrade as long as they kill the enemies, no matter where they are. It is like

The experience gained from wiping out the Brain Eater this time was basically divided between Enoa and the Banshee Guards, and Zhan didn't even retain a single star.

Therefore, for Zhan En, the best way is to expand the dungeon's sphere of influence. The wider the dungeon's sphere of influence, the more experience points will be absorbed and the faster it will be upgraded.

The underground residents will not pay attention to these floors. After all, underground, various ruins are everywhere. These stone slabs have no other meaning except proving to them that there are artificial structures nearby. But for Zhan, this is not the case.

, as long as he walks into the dungeon's sphere of influence, Zhan can clearly know the opponent's number and occupation and other information through the system. As the dungeon level increases, he can even detect the opponent's origin and current status.

Clearly.

Not only that, Zhan's recovery speed and spell power will be doubled when he is in the sphere of influence. It can be said that even a powerful mage is definitely no match for Zhan under the protection of the dungeon.

Although he only knows two spells.

Goblins are very fast, and these little monsters born from the dungeon system are always impeccable when doing their jobs. In just a few minutes, the surrounding large area of ​​land has been covered

It was completely leveled. Even the area near the city wall of Brandon Stone City was completely captured.

This is why Zhan named this place. Although in Kadek's opinion, this ghost place has nothing. But he doesn't know that by doing this, he is almost sending the entire Brandon Stone City to a behemoth.

As he said, after Zhan expanded the power of the underground city here, the fall of Brandon Stone City was only a matter of time.

"order…………!!"

Just after the last piece of ground was covered with stone slabs, the familiar system prompt sounded again in Zhan's ears, and then, the system panel immediately jumped out in front of Zhan's eyes.

"Finally upgraded to level 2..."

Looking at the panel in front of him, Zhan couldn't help but murmur to himself, this is only 1,200 experience points, but it took him nearly three months! If it weren't for the fact that the daily tasks he received when he went out for this adventure gave him enough experience

More, I'm afraid Zhan En will have to wait for a while before he can upgrade. But now, since he has been upgraded to level 2, for Zhan En, the next thing to do is very simple.

It seems that after the dungeon is stable, venturing out to take on daily tasks is a good way to upgrade the dungeon.

As he turned away from this thought, Zhan reached out his hand and clicked on the system panel. Soon, lines of system prompts appeared again.

[Dungeon territory detected, should a building be built? 】

"Build the Blackstone Watchtower."

[Building Blackstone Tower (lv1), consumption - ore (150), mercury (50), gems (10), crystal (200), money (3500), please confirm]

"confirm."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Zhan En nodded slightly.

The next moment, the situation suddenly changed.

The earth began to tremble slightly, and the dull gray patterns on the floor gradually emitted a bright red light. Soon, they were intertwined with each other and spiraled upwards. The magic symbols unfolded in circles, and the space began to become unstoppable.

The shock. Immediately afterwards, a dark, tall stone tower emerged from it.

The light disappeared, and the symbols representing magic melted into the dark tower body like melting snow, leaving only a hint of magic power that flickered in and out. The sharp and tall tower body reached the dome, overlooking everything in sight.

The monster that had been sleeping finally showed its fangs.
Chapter completed!
