The next half day, Su Ye and the two girls rode Chi Lie, the fire horse, around Han Nan City for a bit, opening three treasure chests along the way.
However, the chests were all of low rank, and only contained some resources and currency.
The only noteworthy item they got was a staff.
Frost Fury: A staff forged by the Ice Clan, with great power, increasing the power of ice magic by 50%.
As the name suggests, a staff is a weapon for mages.
Su Ye was a warrior, so he wouldn't be able to use it.
As for Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi, they hadn't chosen their professions yet and didn't even have a class, so the staff would be as useful as a fire stick in their hands.
After gathering some supplies from various stores in Han Nan City, the three rode Chi Lie towards the outside of the city.
Su Qian Er was Su Ye's only relative, so of course she'd be staying with him.
As for Lin Yan Xi, she wasn't from Han Nan City, but from the neighboring city of Han Zhou.
It was a long distance.
Although this girl really wanted to go back, the current situation was serious. She was a weak woman, not even a professional, and she had no army with her. If she went back, there would only be one result.
After Su Qian Er persuaded her, Lin Yan Xi could only give up her thoughts of going home.
She decided to stay with Su Ye and improve her strength in the territory. Once she was strong enough to protect herself, she would return to Han Zhou.
Su Ye didn't have any objections to this.
After all, she was his sister's best friend, so he might as well take care of her!
Chi Lie was not slow, and after nearly an hour, he successfully brought the three to the sky above the Star Domain Territory.
It was already dusk, and the setting sun's glow showered the land, giving the Star Domain Territory a unique charm.
Looking down at the territory from the air, both Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi were amazed.
This kind of city that only existed in games was actually right before their eyes!
Before they could recover from their shock, Chi Lie had landed on an empty area within the territory.
Eve had already sensed Su Ye's return, and was waiting in the clearing.
"Get down, this is your new home," Su Ye greeted.
Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi finally reacted and jumped off Chi Lie, standing beside Su Ye.
When they saw Eve, the two young girls were astonished again.
My goodness, this is the legendary elf!
Those pointed ears, so magical.
Su Ye looked at the wide-eyed Eve, Su Qian Er, and Lin Yan Xi, and coughed lightly, "Let me introduce you, this is Eve, an Elf Archer, a member of this territory."
He then pointed to Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi, "This is my sister Su Qian Er, and her friend Lin Yan Xi."
After Su Ye's introductions, the three were considered acquainted. They greeted each other, and Su Ye asked Eve about the situation in the territory since he left.
Hearing Su Ye's question, Eve's brows furrowed.
"It's a bit complicated, let me explain it to you slowly."
Seeing Eve's serious expression, Su Ye was surprised. Could something really have happened to the territory in the two days he was gone?
But it didn't look like it. The walls and everything else seemed fine.
The group sat down on both sides of the conference table in the Lord's Hall, and Eve began to explain everything.
It turned out the problem wasn't with the territory itself, but with the purple secret realm behind the territory.
One day after Su Ye left, a nearby dwarf territory discovered the purple secret realm.
They had their eyes on the resources of the purple secret realm.
Eve learned about this situation and went to negotiate with the dwarves.
However, those arrogant fellows claimed that Su Ye didn't deserve to possess this purple territory.
They gave Eve two choices: either hand over the purple camp to them, or wait for them to attack.
After hearing the whole story, Su Ye was speechless.
Indeed, the saying "a rich man is in danger" was relevant in any era.
In the Lord's Era, secret realms were classified from low to high as white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red.
In the early stages, a purple secret realm was already considered an extremely rare resource point.
No wonder those dwarves were so envious, even willing to start a war.
Of course, this might also be related to the dwarf's personality.
Dwarves are fifth-tier troops, with a maximum height of only about five feet. They are not large in stature, but their combat strength is not weak.
The reason is that these guys are all masters at crafting equipment.
It's no exaggeration to say that every combat unit in a dwarf army is almost fully armed.
And to ensure a fully armed army, they naturally need a lot of resource supply.
Therefore, dwarves have a notorious habit: they love to plunder and invade.
A purple resource point, that's a rare treasure, how could those arrogant dwarves let it go?
After explaining the whole thing, Eve sighed, "Tomorrow is the deadline for our reply. What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Su Ye clenched his fist and coldly said, "Of course, I'm going to fight back! Who dares covet my territory? Do they want to die?"
Eve froze, hesitant, "But we don't know how strong their army is. To start a war rashly..."
Before she finished, Su Ye interrupted her, "Don't worry, they won't be too strong. We can definitely win."
Seeing Su Ye's confident expression, Eve was a bit dumbfounded.
Confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence...
Well, actually, Su Ye had his reasons for saying that.
This was the early stage of the Lord's Era, all races were still in their infancy.
The so-called dwarf camp wouldn't be too strong.
That's the first point.
Second, Su Ye had a big haul this time after wandering around Han Nan City.
He was confident that he could make his forces double overnight.
With that, would he need to worry about a bunch of dwarves?
