The Lancaster Hideout was now completely different from when the Players conquered the Rotten Bones Church.
Aside from the Lifestone set up during the event, most of the underground basements had been modified, and many of them were special facilities created by Xi Wei. For example, there were underground farms and 'Night Rice' that grew without sunlight and only needed water, as well as hotels that allowed the Players to quickly regenerate their HP and restaurants similar to the ones in the Unnamed Town.
The reason these facilities appeared in the Lancaster Hideout was simple. After the Hideout was conquered, Princess Leah had obtained the Overlord Game System that was similar to Angora's, becoming the only Player who had two systems and could switch between them at any time.
It was a pity that Princess Leah preferred role-playing over management games, and would often sneak her guards to the Unnamed Town.
It was the same today. When the guard that Princess Leah had arranged to keep watch at the Unnamed Town learned about the event quest [Frogmen Guardian: Extinguished Crusade], he immediately teleported back to the Lancaster Hideout via the Lifestone and told Leah about it.
Princess Leah, on the other hand, excitedly prepared to head to the rumored frogmen village to complete the event quest.
After all, she was an NPC in the last event against the Rotten Bones Church, and had only shown her face for a brief moment at the end. She didn't really participate in the event, and now that she had such an opportunity, she definitely couldn't help but want to fulfill her wish.
It was a pity that she was stopped by the old clerk before she could even reach the Lifestone.
"Your Highness, you are now the lord of the Lancaster Hideout. You must calm down and focus on developing this place," Vanke advised her earnestly. Old Vanke advised earnestly. "After all, this is the starting point of Tierra's revival, and the last territory we must not lose!"
"Isn't there still the Unnamed Town?"
Leah, who was trying to find a chance to escape, asked casually.
"Not necessarily," the old clerk said meaningfully. "Your Highness, you might have forgotten that the Unnamed Town's Lord Faust is a noble of the Valla Empire."
His meaning was clear. Even if the Unnamed Town was founded on the faith of the God of Games, Angora was still a noble conferred by the Valla Empire, which was one of the nations that had partitioned Tierra.
"Is that so … But that's fine. I'm sure the Valla Empire wouldn't allow their nobles to worship the God of Games." Leah was taken aback for a moment, but quickly retorted.
She was implying that Angora's faith was the best leverage against her, and it was also because of his faith that he could become an ally that she could win over.
"Perhaps. Be that as it may, Your Highness should not be too willful in order to not lose out to them in terms of prosperity. Instead, focus on developing the Lancaster Hideout."
Not only was the old clerk not angered by Leah's rebuttal, he was he quite the fact, he was actually very satisfied. She was not going to let out in the event quest. com
He could turn a blind eye if it was a dungeon that could be completed quickly or an exploration of the Valley of the Tragic Dead.
But the event quest was out of the question. The old clerk had heard from other players that the event would last for a few days, and it would be held at the Warty Tidal Flats Frogmen Village, which was quite a distance away from the Unnamed Town. It would take a lot more time.
That way, the construction of the Lancaster Underground Hideout would be stalled for a few days, which would be bad for development.
Leah fell silent.
Just as Vanke thought that she had listened to his words and would focus on the development of the Lancaster Underground Hideout, Leah suddenly spoke up.
"Grandpa Registrar, I still want to join the event."
"But …"
"Please let me finish what I have to say." Before the old clerk could object, Leah said rudely, "Although the Lancaster Underground Hideout is very important and is our only territory, I can't spend too much time on it."
"My goal is not to become a qualified lord, nor to farm, nor to build the Lancaster Underground Hideout." Leah stared at Vanke with a serious expression that she had never shown before. "I want to become a king, to rebuild Tierra, and to let that kingdom stand on the land once more!"
There were very few sources of light underground, so it was dim and everything looked dark. But at this moment, the girl seemed to be shining with a majestic light. Her long golden hair swayed slightly, as if a ray of sunlight had lit up the dark underground. This scene made the old man, who had wanted to admonish her, speechless.
He remembered the king who had subdued him when he was young and unruly.
Even though he was mocked by the world as the King of Blindness and Stupidity, only those who had seen him with their own eyes would know that Yakaran the Eleventh was a man of great majesty and vision. It was a pity that his gaze that could see through the hypocrisy of the world and his dream of building a real utopia had become the source of disaster …
Vanke had thought that he would never be able to see that person's majesty again, but at this very moment, he once again saw that person's shadow in Lia.
"In this world, even if the weak were to ascend to the throne, they would be torn apart by their enemies. Only the strong could sit on that throne and revive the kingdom! That is why I must participate in the battle, to become stronger! "
Leah clasped her hands together and prayed loudly. "O Lord, if you are watching all of this with your omniscient eyes, please listen to the most sincere plea from your most loyal follower, Leah Yakaran. If Vanke Noregui's wisdom is recognized by you, please transfer Leah's power to him!"
"How could I …" Before the old man could finish, he was shocked by the scene before him.
[Ding! Do you wish to accept the 'Overlord Game System' from Leah Yakaran?]
The old man moved his gaze away from the screen and stared blankly at the girl.
The girl who once stumbled behind him and sweetly called him "Grandpa Clerk" had also grown up.
"I understand. It seems that my mind is stuck in the past and has become stale … "The old man smiled bitterly, but his expression soon turned solemn." Since it is your request, I will do my best to protect the Underground Hideout of Lancaster even if I have to be used as firewood. I will dedicate the last of my strength to the revival of Tierra! "
With that, he accepted the Overlord Game System and officially became the lord of the Underground Hideout of Lancaster.
In the next moment, Leah's solemn expression turned into one of joy. "Yay! I don't have to stay here anymore! Boris, tell everyone to come to town when they are ready. I'll be waiting for you over there! "
With that, she skipped towards the lifestone and vanished in a flash of light after choosing to teleport.
The old man was speechless.
