The ten of them entered the castle as they wished and realized that there were already many people inside. As the area was limited, they couldn't have a house for each person like in Sword Dragon City. To be able to have a small room for each person was already not bad.
"What, there's a room rental fee?"
They were dumbfounded. Not only did they have to pay an entrance fee, they also had to pay a room rental fee. If they didn't pay, they could only stay in the public area. However, there was no guarantee of safety in the public area at night.
"Then let's rent two rooms for the ten of us."
The leader made up his mind and only rented two rooms, with five people in each room. If ten people were to stay in one room, it would be too cramped for them to live in. As for staying in the public area, he did consider it. However, it was inconvenient to have women in the team. If there was a conflict or it was stolen, they would suffer a huge loss.
"Tsk, a bunch of poor people."
The steward took the money, gave them the pass for two rooms, and left. Now, the rooms in the castle were in high demand and the price would definitely increase.
Actually, everyone wanted to leave Coiling Dragon World and return to their previous world to avoid calamity. But the problem was that the entire world was sealed and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
There were only three ways to avoid calamity: One was to stay in Sword Dragon City and not leave, doing quests every day. Two was to come to the castle and pay the entrance fee before renting a room. If they didn't have enough money, they could do more work to pay for it. The third method was to build a shelter for themselves like Du Feng and the others.
Actually, there were many who built their own fortresses as shelters. There were even some who thought they were smart and built their own small fortresses at the back of the castle. They thought that as long as the extraterrestrial demons came, they would definitely head for the castle.
If their own fortress couldn't hold on, they could hide in the castle. If they didn't go in now, they could save some money on accommodation.
As the difficulty of the quests in Sword Dragon City increased, more and more people came to build their own fortresses near the castle. All of them lined up like mushroom houses. As more and more people gathered, they started to have new ideas.
If they built a wall and surrounded all these fortresses, they would have another line of defense. Or they might as well build a castle. Inside the castle, there would be more fortresses. The effect would not necessarily be worse than theirs.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. This group of people gathered together and built a castle. It was just that the building was simpler and didn't have a beautiful appearance. It was in the shape of a cylinder, enclosing the inside.
After what they did, many people who had paid to live in the castle regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have organized a group of people to build a new castle. Now that they were living in a castle built by others, not only did they have to pay, but they also had to be ordered around every day.
After having this thought, some people didn't pay the rental fee and sneaked to the round barrel castle.
"What? We have to pay the entrance fee here?"
However, when he arrived there, he realized that he had to pay an entrance fee. After all, they had painstakingly built it and reinforced it multiple times. They couldn't let them come for nothing. The first batch of people who participated in the construction naturally did not have to pay, but it was different for those who came later.
However, there was one good thing about the Round Barrel Castle, and that was that there was no rental fee. After paying the entrance fee, they could build their own castle in the space inside and live in it for a long period of time.
These people should consider it. It was more cost-effective this way. At least they didn't have to pay the rental fee every day. Moreover, the castle they built was more spacious than the room they lived in. Therefore, they paid the entrance fee and moved into the round barrel castle.
The reason why the round barrel castle had such favorable conditions was mainly because it was built later, and the number of people was much smaller than the first castle. Moreover, by stacking castles on top of each other, the space was more fully utilized. Unlike the first castle, there were almost no public areas, let alone leisure places.
Everyone brought their own space in their own castle. It was like a beehive, with one grid after another.
More and more people came to the round barrel castle. Du Feng and the others finally dug into the rock stratum.
"Phew, it really wasn't easy …"
Seeing the rock underground and feeling the hardness of the rock, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The rock was too hard. Using a supreme-grade Divine Emperor weapon would only leave a mark. Even with a Half Sage weapon, one could only knock off a corner.
With such depth and hardness, there should be no problem. Although they had been busy for so many days, it was all worth it.
"Okay, leave the rest to me. You guys go do something else."
They thought they would have to build a castle on the rock stratum, but in the end, Du Feng told them to go do something else. Because he wanted to use the Dragon Riding Sword to go up the rock stratum and take the rocks down. Then he would use the rocks to build an underground castle.
"Uh …" The Dragon Emperor grinned, thinking that Brother Du was working too hard.
Hearing this, Draconis gave a thumbs up. Brother Du was really thorough. Because they could still cope with the current workload, they did have time to do better. If they dug a space on the rock stratum, it would mean that the front, back, left, and right were all rocks, and only the top needed to be blocked.
If they used the rocks to block the top, it would be perfect.
Of course, at present, only Du Feng could do this because he was the only one with a Half Sage weapon. Without a Half Sage weapon, it was impossible to take out the rocks. Even with a Half Sage weapon, it would require a lot of strength.
So Draconis and the others simply took Yang Wei and Miss Yangliu to do the task, and left the rest to Du Feng. Du Feng didn't have to worry about the task, he just had to kill for a while before dark. His White Light Sword Art was extremely fast, and he could finish the task in a few moves.
Du Feng's idea was quite good, but he would only know how difficult it was when he really dug it out. He didn't know how the True Dragon created the Coiling Dragon World back then, the rock stratum was too hard. But thinking about it carefully, the rock at the bottom of the God Realm was also very hard. The weight of the whole ground was pressing toward the center, so it couldn't not be hard.
He used the Dragon Riding Sword to cut it bit by bit, and after cutting for a while, he had to rest for a while. It wasn't that he needed to rest, but the swordsman in the Dragon Riding Sword needed to rest. Because the Dragon Riding Sword would be worn out if it was used too much, and only when the swordsman had a good rest could it be repaired.
If it wasn't repaired, it would wear out the Dragon Riding Sword for a long time.
This was also the difference between a Half Sage weapon and a God Emperor weapon. If a God Emperor weapon was damaged, it could only be returned to the furnace to be forged again, but a Half Sage weapon could repair itself.
