Claude had a feeling that Lord Su Wan would be an important and powerful ally in Tristana's fight for power over her family.
He turned to Tristana beside him. He saw that she was as impressed as he was about this. She looked at Su Wan with admiration.
Su Wan was excited to visit Canglan City. When Zorro had come to visit her in the territory, he had talked at length about the glorious city.
This was Su Wan's first time venturing so far away from her territory to another city.
She had seen some Lords mention the city before. However, the information they had posted wasn't enough for her to form an image in her mind.
The first thing she wanted to do was set up a Chamber of Commerce in Canglan City to expand her trading business.
The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce had taken the initiative to open trade with her before. If Su Wan could set up her own Chamber of Commerce, she would get the choice to initiate trade relationships with others from the outside.
Setting up a Chamber of Commerce came with lots of benefits. The extra wares could always be sold via the Chamber of Commerce, and it would be easier to exchange them for the materials that Su Wan lacked.
The online market in the forum wasn't nearly enough. Su Wan had planned to fortify the agricultural area in her territory, but what Tristana had said had discouraged her.
It was a luxury to have treasures like the Dimensional Stone and the World Tree Seed.
If she could make use of it, she might be able to solve the problem in her territory. Thinking about all this gave Su Wan a headache.
She also needed to worry about obtaining the Soul Contract to recruit the Vampire Duke.
Currently, only the royal family of the Ice Empire possessed the Soul Contract. It was difficult to obtain it. They couldn't put all their eggs inside one basket and wait for them to hatch.
Su Wan took a deep breath to calm herself. She needed to get stronger. The God of Light must already be planning his next step to destroy her territory!
Although her territory had grown in size and strength and was more powerful than any other territory in the Overlord Plane, it was still not enough.
When facing someone like the God of Light, her territory was weak and tiny.
Besides, the future was uncertain, and it made Su Wan even more stressed out.
On the surface, the Overlord Plane looked peaceful. The Lords went about their way and developed their own territory. However, the truth was far from that. As the Lord got stronger, they wanted to attack other Lords for power and resources.
Su Wan knew that she was a target for many other Lords. She needed to get stronger.
Among everything, there was something else that made Su Wan's heart race. The Divine Kingdom.
The Divine Kingdom and the possibility of obtaining treasure tempted her to no end. Ferula had said that the divine body of a god was sealed in that kingdom. Xu Yuan had refused to venture there because Su Wan and the rest of the troops weren't strong enough to face whatever might be in that place.
Su Wan needed to upgrade the territory. That way, Xu Yuan could upgrade his level too. It was a god they would have to face, after all.
If only Su Wan could obtain the Soul Contract, she could recruit the Vampire Duke…
Su Wan was deep in thought throughout the journey. The troops flew at a good pace. They were already halfway there.
During the flight, Tristana requested the True-Eyed Black Dragon to fly near Su Wan.
Tristana was anxious. "Lord Su Wan, there is a special ore vein in front of us. It's better if we take a detour and avoid the area."
"Ore vein?"
"It looks like ordinary glass ore," said Tristana.
"Then, what's the problem?" asked Su Wan.
"When we journeyed to your territory, we encountered a Desert Dragon in the area," said Tristana solemnly. "Nearly 30 of my soldiers died fighting it."
'Desert Dragon!'
Su Wan was excited. Xu Yuan had once killed a Level 45 dragon as though it was an ant.
Su Wan was intrigued. Who didn't like dragons, after all?
"How many of those Desert Dragons are there? How strong are they?"
It was always good to recruit dragons. They were the most efficient means of transportation, and they were good in combat too!
It wasn't good to always rely on the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint. If she had more dragons, she could assign them specific jobs.
Tristana saw that Su Wan was very eager. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her enthusiasm.
Most people would avoid dragons because they were dangerous. Why was Su Wan so reckless?
However, when Tristana glanced at Xu Yuan, she understood. Maybe Su Wan was so courageous because she had a Dark Demon Dragon to rely on.
