[Name: Dragon Slash Sword]
[Grade: Tier 5 • Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Attack Strength: ★★★★★★]
[Additional Effect: Dragon Slayer 'Increases damage dealt to the Dragon Clan by 100%']]
[Remark: It is said that this sword contains the spirit of a dragon, and when it is wielded, you can hear the dragon's roar. The sword's previous owner, a legendary dragon slaying hero, disappeared unexpectedly, and the sword's whereabouts were unknown.]
"Wow, it's actually a dragon-slaying sword with special effects against the Dragon Clan!"
With a thought amidst his surprise, Leo Ray moved the heavy sword in front of him into his storage space.
He couldn't use this huge two-handed sword himself, of course.
Or rather, very few people could actually use such a heavyweight weapon.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray's eyes lit up, as he realized his suitability for the suitable candidate.
"Right, Taylor would be the perfect match for this sword with his strength and stature. I'll just give it to him when he gets back."
Having made up his mind, Leo Ray's gaze fell on the [Tier 4 Weapon Blueprint: Angel's Wand] in his hand.
"A magic wand, huh..."
Storing the blueprint into his storage space, Leo Ray displayed a thoughtful expression.
From this reward, two new clues could be deduced:
Not only are there dragons here, but there's also magic and mages!
"It seems this magical new world is becoming more and more interesting."
With a smile, Leo Ray opened the Territory Information once more.

"Unknowingly, I've built quite a fortune here."
Taking a deep breath, Leo Ray didn't look satisfied; instead, he began to think about his next steps.
At this moment, he clearly understood:
Although he had left the other players far behind, everything was just beginning, and there were too many unforeseeable variables in the future.
Leaving aside the one billion other lords who had teleported with him,
There were still the native powers of this massive world who had yet to reveal themselves.
If his territory continued to develop, it would inevitably lead to various unforeseeable conflicts with these forces, and it was only a matter of time.
In this uncertain situation,
The only thing he could do now was to be prepared and build a solid foundation for the future.
"The upgrade materials needed this time have tripled, huh?"
Looking at the last item of Territory Information, Leo Ray frowned slightly.
"The first three basic resources are no problem, but the added Iron Ore and Copper Ore..."
Having checked the notes for Iron Ore and Copper Ore, Leo Ray learned that these two were Secondary-Class Resources, one step higher than the previous three, and required corresponding ore veins to be mined.
At the present stage, they were hard to come by.
Not even the Trading Center had anyone trading these resources.
"It seems that the upgrade of the Mansion will have to be postponed for now."With no other choice, Leo Ray opened the newly unlocked "Crafting" page once again.
He prepared to create some daily necessities first.
[Wood x1]+[Stone x1]=[Crude Stone Pickaxe x1]or[Crude Logging Axe x1]
[Wood x1]+[Stone x1]=[Crude Arrow x10]
[Wood x10]=[Crude Handcart x1]
[Wood x1]=[Paper x10]
[Thatch x10]=[Rope x1]
...
[Wood x1]=[Wooden Bowl x8]
[Wood x5]=[Wooden Barrel x1]
[Stone x4]=[Stone Mill x1]
...
As for the crafting process, two conditions must be met.
First, there is a fixed "Crafting" magic array in the office on the first floor.
Second, the crafting can only proceed when near the magic array and clicking on the "Crafting" page.
The required materials can be consumed directly from the storage space.
After some time, the finished product will appear before your eyes, or you can choose to put it back into the storage space.
Just like this, Leo Ray tried creating some pots and pans experimentally.
Holding a brand-new wooden cup, Leo went outside to the creek to scoop up a full cup of water.
Then, while drinking the sweet spring water, he continued to look at the other crafting projects.
Suddenly, he found that there were two building blueprints at the bottom of the list:
[Paper x1]=[Building Blueprint: Ordinary Residential House]
[Paper x1]=[Building Blueprint: Storage Room]
Seeing this, Leo Ray didn't hesitate and used 1 unit of wood to make 10 sheets of paper.
He then made several ordinary residential house blueprints and storage room blueprints.
[You Obtained 'Building Blueprint: Ordinary Residential House' x5]
[You Obtained 'Building Blueprint: Storage Room' x5]
According to the knowledge that had flooded into his mind at the beginning, Leo Ray learned that it is possible to instantly create a building in this other world.
However, you need the corresponding building blueprints and resources. If either of them is missing, the construction cannot proceed.
Simply put, building blueprints are akin to alternative types of magical scrolls, considered single-use consumables.
Once the construction is successful, the blueprint will lose its effect and cannot be used again.
Of course, the Lord's Mansion, being upgradable, is an exception, as it is considered a special type of building.
Besides, perhaps it's because there are no ranks for the building blueprints themselves.
As a result, they cannot be altered or upgraded using the Golden Finger.
Holding the architectural drawings, Leo Ray walked out of the log cabin and looked around, noticing that after leveling up twice, the log cabin had expanded several times compared to the beginning.
The surrounding trees were almost touching the eaves of the house.
Therefore, to construct new buildings, there is a need for large-scale logging and creating new open spaces.
"Now it's time to recruit new subordinates and clear out the area!"
With that thought, Leo Ray didn't hesitate to take out all 40 of his Tier 1 Recruitment Orders, starting a mass summoning.
Currently, both food and water sources are abundant, so there's no need to worry about feeding new subordinates.
As for not instantly maxing out the population, it is to prevent a situation where it would be impossible to summon higher-level recruitment orders if the population limit isn't increased first.
That's why some spots were reserved, just in case.
After all, this isn't a game but a real otherworld, where everything is presented in a semi-data formatting for convenience.
Thus, it is evident that if a Lord reduces the population arbitrarily, they're bound to lose the people's heart, digging their own grave.
Just like that, dense gates of light flashed constantly in front of the Lord's Mansion.
In an instant, 40 figures appeared, one after another, in front of Leo Ray.
