Alex reviewed Arthur's attributes.
[Bone Dragon King (Arthur)]
[Race: Undead]
[Loyalty: 100% (Never Betray)]
[Life Tier: Standard]
[Level: lv5 (Can be increased by killing enemies)]
[Health Points: Undead trait, immortal as long as the soul fire burns]
[Mana Points: 100]
[Strength: 50+10]
[Stamina: ∞]
[Agility: 50+10]
[Growth Limit: Divine]
[Active Skill: Nether Dragon Breath]
[Passive Skills: Elemental Magic Immunity, Dragon's Presence]
Dragon's Presence: Exerts an invisible mental pressure on creatures of a lower Life Tier, weakening their magical and physical defenses.
[Enhancement: Comprehensive enhancement; the burning nether fire increases soul defense, hardened bones increase physical defense, unlocks Dragon's Presence, overall attributes +10 points.]
So strong!
Alex was thrilled. The enhancement from the Blackwater Altar had boosted Arthur's mental and physical defenses, and he inherently possessed Elemental Magic Immunity, making him even more defensively robust.
Additionally, Arthur had acquired a new passive skill, Dragon's Presence, which could reduce the enemy's resistance to both magic and physical attacks.
This was a significant boost!
Increasing his own resistances while reducing the enemy's meant that Arthur could hit enemies hard while their attacks would barely tickle him.
Arthur had also advanced to level 5. His attributes had increased by 20 points from level 3, and with the additional 10 points from the enhancement, Arthur's attributes had reached a formidable 60 points.
Indeed, prioritizing Arthur's leveling was the right decision. He could rely on his aerial advantage to fly beyond the castle's range, and his undead nature meant there was no need to worry about him dying.
Of course, as long as he didn't foolishly fly up to the snowy mountains.
Would the frost dragons on the snowy mountains spare one of their own kind? No, that's wrong. Bone dragons are no longer part of the dragon race; they've been transformed into undead, belonging to the undead race.
It's said that dragons despise bone dragons...
If that frost dragon sees Arthur, it might go berserk.
However, this doesn't mean that bone dragons are weaker than living dragons. Once Arthur grows, even facing a Azure Dragon, he would have the strength to fight!
"Arthur, how are you feeling?" Alex looked up at the towering figure of Arthur.
"Respected Queen, I feel stronger than before!" Arthur bowed his head respectfully.
"Arthur, continue slaying monsters!"
There was nothing left for Arthur here; he had already been enhanced. There was no need for him to linger around the castle. It was time to make use of his infinite stamina.
"Yes, respected Queen."
Arthur spread his fiery wings and flew out of the castle.
Now, Alex had nothing urgent to attend to. She just needed to wait for the skeletons to finish their tasks. She skillfully opened the World Chat channel, planning to check out the Lords' conversations to pass some boring time.
Alex was slightly obsessive-compulsive; she couldn't stand any unread notifications in her dashboard and clicked them away one by one.
After opening the system notifications, there were numerous alerts about her skeletons killing wild monsters, informing her of the experience gained.
[Your troops have killed an enemy Lord's troops, gaining thirty experience points.]
[Your troops have killed an enemy Lord's troops, gaining thirty experience points.]
...
What? When did this happen?
Alex was baffled, but the kill notifications didn't specify the names of the enemy Lords or their troops, leaving her clueless.
Wait! Alex suddenly remembered what Arthur had mentioned earlier about the four Red Blood Gorillas surrounding a giant pangolin, and those gorillas hadn't dropped any food...
Could it be that these Red Blood Gorillas belonged to another Lord?!
Okay, I really didn't mean to do this!
Alex silently apologized in her heart.
This is bad, she had just offended the Moon Silver Wolf of the snowy mountains, and now another Lord.
Wait, why should Alex be afraid of that Lord if Arthur could easily annihilate his troops?
Once the newbie protection period was over, if that Lord didn't accept Alex's apology, she could just send him to reunite with his ancestors! Hmph.
It seemed that besides the unfortunate soul killed by the goblins, there was another Lord nearby, and not too far from Alex's castle!
She wondered if that Lord had noticed the Hamburger yet. The lv5 Red Blood Gorillas probably weren't very mobile, and that Lord's castle surely wasn't as large as Alex's.
Estimating the distance, the Red Blood Gorillas could have wandered off about 3 to 4 miles from their territory, considering the opponent's Territory Area and the distance in between, along with the size of Alex's own castle.
So, um... how much was it?
After some calculations on the ground, Alex figured that the straight-line distance between the two castles was about 13 miles, which was quite close.
"A Goblin tribe, the Moon Silver Wolf clan, and this Lord. The Goblin tribe should be easy to handle, but the other two might be seeking revenge."
Alex noted them all down, planning to deal with them one by one.
She felt that Arthur was now strong enough to handle the Goblin tribe, but she hadn't encountered a monster of Commanding level before, so she wasn't sure how powerful they could be.
To be safe, she decided to let Arthur level up some more. With the newbie protection period still in effect, she couldn't be harmed as long as she stayed inside her castle!
Meanwhile, in the World Chat, [King Kong] had stopped cursing, and with so many Lords spamming messages, the chat was moving too fast to read without pausing.
[You have received a private message!]
Could it be that Lord coming after her?!
A nervous Alex was startled by the sudden notification.
She clicked it open and breathed a sigh of relief; it was just someone wanting to buy food.
[QuartzStriker]: "Respected Hamburger Lord, do you have any surplus food? I need 500 portions. I'll trade with stones at your usual price."
[Hamburger]: "Not available now, it will be ready by tonight."
[QuartzStriker]: "Can I add you as a friend for easier trading? I've tried to add you many times before, but was rejected."
Alex scratched her head awkwardly. She received so many friend requests daily that she usually rejected them all without a second thought.
Big order coming in, hehe!
Alex was very pleased.
She quickly accepted [QuartzStriker]'s friend request, making [QuartzStriker] the first friend on her list.
[QuartzStriker]: "Thank you, Big Shot!"
[Hamburger]: "You seem well-resourced. There's plenty of food on the trading post. Why not buy from there?"
Alex asked, curious. She wasn't worried about losing a customer; with billions of Lords out there, her small amount of food would easily find buyers. She wasn't concerned about sales at all.
