Chapter 223: Establishing the Guild Base

“A Rare item is not worth a million, right?”

Lorne rubbed his chin.

A million points was not a lot to him.

However, he felt that it was too risky.

This was because he did not know what the item in the treasure chest was. If it was a fragment material, then these points would be wasted.

As for the cost?

Rare-grade items were valued between Gold and Platinum equipment.

The Platinum equipment here was worth a million points, so it was not a loss.

Lorne thought he could try it.

After all, he had already exchanged enough Platinum equipment and Guild Establishment Tokens. Even if he used these 18.5 million points to exchange for these things, it would not be of any use.

It was better to try using these points. If he was lucky and obtained a special tool, he might even be able to accept an epic mission.

With that in mind, Lorne finally made up his mind. He had to continue upgrading it.

Ding!

“Congratulations on using 1 million points to raise the quality of [Unknown Item Treasure Chest] to ‘Rare’!”

With a flash of light, the quality of the treasure chest increased again.

Lorne did not stop.

Almost in the next second, he chose to continue.

Ding!

“Congratulations on using 10 million points to raise the quality of the [Unknown Item Treasure Chest] to ‘Epic’!”

After confirming that it had evolved, the treasure chest in front of Lorne immediately changed. The tool chest turned from blue to purple and circulated with an exquisite and noble light.

He opened it directly.

A purple-gold light flashed, and a silver-white token appeared in the treasure chest.

“Damn, could it be the Guild Establishment Token?”

Lorne’s heart skipped a beat.

But when he checked the tool information, he was pleasantly surprised.

[Ancient Lightning Token]

Quality: Epic

Effect: When you are close enough to the mysterious place with this item in your inventory, it will lead you to go in.

Introduction: Entry token for the Land of Lightning.

————

This was a token to enter a special dungeon!

Although he did not know what kind of dungeon it was, this token was an epic tool after all. He believed that the quality of that dungeon was definitely not low.

In addition, the token gave Lorne a subtle hint of the location.

It gave a direction by pointing north.

In other words, as long as Lorne explored the north, he might be able to find the mysterious Land of Lightning.

However, Lorne did not have the time.

His priority now was to turn the Cold Desolate Dragon City into his territory and repair the main city. After doing this, he still had to go to the elves.

He had two missions in the elves. One was about Aisha, and the other was the second phase of the Divine Radiance mission.

These two missions were very rare. He had to complete them before he had time to do other things.

With that in mind, Lorne quickly dealt with the remaining points.

Then, he walked towards the City Lord area.

…

“Commander Rhett, I want to build a guild base in Iron Skull City.”

At the edge of the City Lord area, Lorne found a special NPC.

“Young adventurer, if you want to build a guild base, you need to obtain the City Creation Token given by the City Lord. Come and find me when you obtain the City Creation Token.”

Hearing this, Lorne took out his City Creation Token.

“It’s really the City Creation Token!”

Commander Rhett looked at the City Creation Token in surprise, then looked at Lorne and laughed, “It seems that you are the adventurer who responded to the call of Iron Skull City and obtained excellent results in the crusade in the Titan Forest.”

“Very good, adventurer. With this City Creation Token, you will have the right to build a main city in Iron Skull City.”

With that, Commander Rhett showed Lorne a map of the region of Iron Skull City.

This was the entire Iron Skull City. The entire range was very large. After all, this was a Grade 2 Main City’s management area.

Lorne glanced at it and found that at the edge of the map, there was also a small area of the Elven Kingdom and the Gnome Kingdom. It was just outside the western border, where he would complete his mission later.

“Adventurer, since you want to build your own guild base, you need to pay a certain amount of tax and land fees to Iron Skull City. Look at which area you like.”

Commander Rhett activated a Recording Crystal and a panel appeared in front of Lorne.

[Iron Skull City’s Land for Rental]

Barren Region: 100 gold coins per hectare.

Mountainous Region: 1,000 gold coins per hectare.

Plains Region: 10,000 gold coins per hectare.

Danger Region: 100,000 gold coins per hectare.

Resource Region: 1 million gold coins per hectare.

Abundance Region: 10 million gold coins per hectare.

————

It could be seen that the prices were very expensive.

Especially the Abundance Region at the end, the price was as high as 10 million gold coins per hectare. Moreover, this price needed to be paid once a year.

In “Divine Realm”, although the land was rented, as long as one paid the rental fees on time, even Iron Skull City could not forcefully take back this land.

Therefore, there was a huge advantage over real land.

However, this price made even the tycoons want to cry.

Now, one gold coin was about 2,500-3,000 alliance dollars. 10,000 gold coins was 30 million alliance dollars, and this could only rent a hectare of land in the plains.

This was much more expensive than the land cost in the high-level Energy Zone.

If he calculated using the range of the Cold Desolate Dragon City, the entire area of the inner city was about 40,000 hectares. Because the region was close to the extreme north, it should be considered barren or mountainous. If calculated like this, the land fees that Lorne needed to pay should be between 4-40 million gold coins per year!

If the outer city was calculated according to the scale on the blueprint, the total area would be 800 million hectares. Then, the cost would be 80 billion gold coins!

Wasn’t this a joke?

“Wait, why is the area so huge?”

Lorne froze.

Only then did he realize that the blueprint range of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was actually so huge.

If he followed the entire blueprint, the entire outer city wall would probably envelop the entire Iron Skull City, and the total area would even reach a third of the Empire.

This was clearly different from the range he had seen.

Although the city he had seen in the Cold Desolate Dragon City was indeed very grand, it was still far from the data indicated on the blueprint. After all, no matter what, it was impossible to reach such a wide area.
