[Effect]: [Reign] [Territory Center] [Population Growth] [Ruler's Strength] [Training Camp] [Magician's School] [Warrior's Dojo]

[Description]

A beautiful and giant castle beautifully decorated with many colorful mushrooms and resembling a building straight out of a fairy tale. As a Castle, it has the authority to enhance the strength of the population and also of the King or Queen that sits on the throne, alongside other abilities that can be unlocked over time, through leveling up the building.

[Magician's School]: [A special, large adjacent facility to the Castle, where those with Magic Talents can be taught how to utilize their Magic properly. In this School, students will learn the basic Magic Conjuration Techniques of Old, such as Rune Creation and Magic Circle Conjuration. Increases Growth Speed and Magic Talent of those that attend by +100%.]

[Warrior's Dojo]: [A special, large adjacent facility to the Castle, where strong warriors go to train to become even stronger. However, even rookies can be taught how to properly fight and also slowly build up the tenacity of battle-hardened fighters. In this Dojo, students will learn how to use Fighting Techniques, Weapon Techniques, and Defensive Techniques such as Shield and Armor Techniques. Increases Growth Speed and Fighting Talent of those that attend by +100%.]

The first upgrade I wanted to do was of course, my castle! It became much larger and more glorious, with several new rooms, expanding several meters across the forest. It also gained two, really big adjacent buildings named Magician's School and Warrior's Dojo, where anybody can go and learn from professors.

As of now, Sporegon and Magius have volunteered to go teach in those, alongside a few experienced fairies that wanted to teach magic, and warriors from the gnome and brownie village. With that we've got things covered, although more personnel will always be more useful.

Ah, and of course, I have to pay them for their job, good thing I have billions of Gold now, so that's not really an issue. I tried to pay them around ten thousand gold per month to them, but they rejected, saying it was too much? They ended accepting a hundred gold a month… Is that alright? It's too little, no?

Maybe they're just doing it voluntarily, but accepted the money so I don't feel guilty about it? Ahh, well, it's kind of the same thing with the workers for the games and food carts too.

Moving on, I discovered I only had around 20k Community Points left, so I can only upgrade either the watchtower or the walls, so I decided to go for the walls, as they're more useful at protecting the entire place.

Oh, some of my friends were wondering how I could spend so much Mana even though my Max Mana wasn't that high. Well, the thing is, the Mana Requirements are constant, it is not a flat requirement, so I can just slowly imbue it until it's done. And because my Mana Regeneration Speed in the forest is incredible, there's no problem in that regard!

Anyways, Wall's time!

[You have exchanged [x120000 Large Stones] [50000 MP] [20000 Community Points]!]

[You have upgraded the [Spiritual Stone Walls: Lv4/5] to Level 5/5!]

[The [Spiritual Stone Walls: Lv5/5] has acquired the new Effect: [Indestructible Living Fortress]!]

[Spiritual Stone Walls: Lv5/5]

[Building Type]: [Walls] [Fortress] [Pseudo Golem]

[Building Quality]: [A+]

[Level Up Cost]: [x200000 Large Stones] [80000 MP] [30000 Community Points] (Cannot Level Up, Level Cap Reached)

[Effect]: [Territory Walls] [Protection] [Self-Repair] [Magical Shield] [Impenetrable Walls] [Magic Walls] [Spiritual Empowerment] [Indestructible Living Fortress]

[Description]

An utterly gigantic wall made of spirit magic-imbued stones that protects the entire Territory of the Forest of Origins from threats of the outside world. It offers immense protection against all land invasions and can grow even bigger and stronger as it levels up. It has evolved into a pseudo golem, and it can now further improve itself by draining Mana from the environment.

[Indestructible Living Fortress]: [The Spiritual Stone Walls have improved to the level where they have developed a strong soul of their own, thanks to having been fused with thousands of Lesser Earth Spirits. As a result, it has gained new Abilities that Walls usually don't possess. It can now Absorb Mana from the environment to keep itself supplied with it 24/7. By utilizing the absorbed Mana, it can negate up to 70% of all Damage Taken, and it will gain the [Unmovable] Trait, which will make it impossible to budge.]

"I-It became a golem?!" I asked, glancing at the huge walls at the distance, which were resting peacefully, as if nothing had ever happened to it.

"Golem?" Mark wondered, as he was hanging around with me while I flew around as I upgraded the buildings.

"T-The walls… I upgraded them to Level five and they gained the [Pseudo Golem] Trait…" I sighed.

"Eh?!" Mark was surprised. "Amazing, so the whole walls… Insane! Such a giant golem! Can it move?!"

"I-I don't think it can move; it is too heavy to move." I laughed. "But maybe if it grows stronger… It could do other things. We'll see. Though it's a bit surprising that it just "developed a soul"… But well, I did use Spirits as its materials to make it better."

"Hmm, well, it doesn't sound bad at all to me. It would be cool if we are in some dire situation and the walls suddenly transform into a giant titan made of stone, crushing our foes!" Mark seemed to be imagining the walls to go through some sort of transformation sequence like in Anime.

"Hahaha, well, that would be a bit hilarious… And interesting." I rubbed my chin. "For now, I'm content with what it can do… Anyways, I have something to ask Hammer, let's go down!"

"Oh, sure." Mark followed me. "Hmm, is it about Hephaestus?"

"Bingo." I nodded. "I figured out an ancient mushroom like him could know something, especially because he's a blacksmith."

"Makes sense. I hope he knows something…" Mark sighed.
