Fantasy Lord: I Have a Moving Castle

For example, at the moment when the pigpen, the chicken coop, the vegetable garden, and the Mushroom House were upgraded, the things inside them were upgraded as well. All things were transformed into Magic Creatures, while those that were already Magic Creatures, such as the Peacock Mountain Partridge and the Four-season Pig, along with various special mushrooms in the Mushroom House, all transformed into existences of a higher level and greater value.

The effects of the various rooms were also significantly enhanced, increasing reproduction and production, and improving the chances of benign mutations, among other improvements.

However, among all the transformations, what surprised Char the most was this:

Char stood on the roof, looking up at the top of the high tower. As his thoughts moved, a golden light suddenly burst from the top of the tower, followed by one beam of golden light after another, each beam forming a slender diamond shape, like the golden lightning held in the hands of Zeus.

Lines of golden light formed a circle, creating a golden circle of light, emitting a destructive aura.

Freyja stood beside Char, also looking up at the tower top. Even with Char’s prior warning, her body still fell into a reactionary state at that moment, with every hair on her arms standing on end.

If it wasn’t for knowing that there were no enemies or dangers nearby, she might have picked up her weapon and taken a defensive stance.

That was the case for Freyja, and needless to say for the Floral Blue Leopard always by her side, which immediately crouched down on the roof, making a whining sound.

The Floral Blue Leopard’s combat will was quite good. With Freyja’s years of training, it was even better; it rarely showed such a fearful and pleading posture.

This demonstrated the great deterrence of the light wheel on top of the tower on the Floral Blue Leopard.

Not only the Floral Blue Leopard, but the Thunder Night Dragon, Frost Deer, Fierce Sword Firefly, Green Lotus Frog, and other Demon Beasts also had strong reactions, and even the non-living Praying Light Sword showed a defensive posture.

Char thought again, and retracted the golden light wheel, but he could not stop smiling.

This upgrade of the Castle, the biggest gain was probably this attack device named "Sun God Wheel," an defensive weapon inherent to the Castle, a super weapon of mass destruction.

When the Castle was under attack or when he drove the Castle to strike proactively, simply through his thoughts, the Sun Gem embedded at the top of the tower would concentrate rays of sunlight, quickly forming a Sunlight Wheel, launching a destructive attack against the incoming enemies.

Each ray of the sunlight had a very strong lethality, the lethality of a whole Sunlight Wheel was equivalent to the full strike of an advanced professional, not just level 11 or 12 professionals who were just entering advanced ranks, but level 14 or 15, those on the verge of master status.

Although both were advanced professionals, their strengths could not be discussed in the same breath; a full strike from the latter had the ability to severely injure or even kill the strong.

That is to say, an attack from the Sun God Wheel could instantly kill any of the top three advanced professionals in Fireplace Town.

Although the Sun God Wheel could only be activated once in a short time, it was enough to add considerable confidence to Char; otherwise, facing Fireplace Town, he always felt a bit uneasy—even though rationally, it was unlikely Fireplace Town would conflict with him, and even less likely escalate to a fight to the death.

Counting the current defensive forces of the Castle, the Sun God Wheel, numerous Magic Pets, Praying Light Sword, Freyja and Floral Blue Leopard, plus the twelve Silver Flying Pegasuses, hundreds of Iron-armored Knights and Iron Armor Swordsmen, and Iron Feather Archers.

His current strength, not to say comparable to the whole Fireplace Town, is at least equivalent to a third of its strength.

This was definitely a pivotal force!

And as Char further remodels and arms the Castle, continuing the third stage upgrades, the defensive power of the Castle will continue to increase. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

By then, a small personal castle comparable to Fireplace Town, which holds thirty thousand people, would not be a dream.

Amid the "clack, clack" of mechanical operations, the entire Castle trembled slightly, and then it began to move downwards, quickly, its mechanical legs retracting, and the Castle landed on the ground.

One by one, iron-armored cavalry leaped from the castle, dispersing around its perimeter, as for the Iron Armor Knights and Iron Feather Archers? They had long been deployed every five steps at a post and every ten steps at a watch, scattered in every corner of the castle.

Although the challenge levels of the castle guards were merely 1 and 2, which didn’t seem much now—Char now had under him two magic pets with challenge levels above 8, and the castle guards at levels 1 and 2 hardly counted as a crucial force.

But their sheer number was not to be underestimated, with hundreds of castle guards combined, they also represented a considerable force. Besides, the Thunder Night Dragon and Frost Deer were strong, but strength alone couldn’t handle everything; when an actual challenge arose, they would still be hard-pressed.

The multitude of castle guards was a significant supplement to the castle’s strength.

Beyond that, for Char, the most important thing was that he could recruit new magic pets again, albeit the quota for the third-stage magic pets hadn’t increased and was still only three.

...

At night, in the small dining room, lights brightly lit, the warm orange light illuminated the food, making the meals look even more delicious.

Char chatted sporadically with Freyja.

Nearly two months had passed, and what had been enhanced was not only the castle but also Char himself and his magic pets.

Char had not only successfully raised his professional level to 4 but had also learned several level 1 spells and level 0 tricks. He was currently preparing to construct his first level 2 magic model; if successful, his personal strength would again significantly increase.

However, compared to the enhancements of the magic pets, it was still minor.

Actually, only a very few magic pets had their levels enhanced, as most, like the Fierce Sword Firefly, Green Lotus Frog, and Frost Deer, had just undergone evolution and couldn’t level up again so soon.

From the moment of its birth, the Clover Mantis had already reached its level cap. All it could do was silently enhance its strength within the challenge level 5, waiting quietly for Char to use the Prayer Light and help it evolve.

The levels that had been enhanced were those of the Star Worm and Thunder Night Dragon.

The Star Worm could absorb the essence of deceased magic pets to enhance its own strength, so its levels increased rapidly. After another two or three months, it finally went up by a level, reaching level 4.

However, given the forces currently under Char, a magic pet with a challenge level of 4 was inconsequential, even considered weakest among all the magic pets.

Compared to the level increase of the Star Worm, what Char cared about more was that even after reaching level 4, the Star Worm still didn’t meet the conditions for evolution; whereas the Fierce Sword Firefly and Green Lotus Frog had both evolved after just a one or two-level increase. The four-level increase of the Star Worm without being able to evolve was indeed quite odd.

The level increase of the Star Worm meant little for Char. What really surprised him was the level increase of the Thunder Night Dragon.

The Thunder Night Dragon had been growing rapidly and had been recruited for quite some time. Throughout this period, the supply of Energy Essence and various Thunder attribute foods had been constant, so its level increase seemed reasonable.

With the level increase of the Thunder Night Dragon, the upper limit of strength for his forces had reached a challenge level of 9, climbing another substantial notch.

Furthermore, after further absorbing the strength of the Bright Treasure Diamond, the Praying Light Sword’s challenge level had also improved, indeed just as he had anticipated earlier, reaching level 8.

Then there was the Night Helmeted Owl. The Dead Soul Jade had caused it to undergo further transformation, and its strength had also increased to level 4. Continuing this trend, when the power of the Dead Soul Jade was fully consumed, the challenge level of the Night Helmeted Owl could very likely reach 5.

It could be said that, after one winter, the strength of the castle had undergone a radical transformation.
