BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17: Learning of The Area
The books he had stole have important titles, like History of Astor Kingdom, Creatures of Lunos Forest, which he assume to be the name of the forest he is living in and many more.
"Let\'s read th," he said to Laili, who, once again, in her bigger form, and currtly, sitting on his lap, naked.
The woman merely blushed at her currt condition but make no attempt to stop him, instead just lying on his laps as he read the book.
"Lunos Forest," he started by learning of the forest he resided in, "is a large forest located east of Astor Kingdom. It is classify as Level 3 Mana Zone, having several small leyline of lesser rank with one big one at the cter, one believe to be a Tier Leyline,"
He put his curiosity of the meaning of the Tier Leyline and Mana Zone for now. Maybe some of the other books have more details of the subject but he would focus on what will help him survive.
"The Lunos Forest have many creatures living inside of it, from the regular animals, and weak monsters like slimes, goblins, and kobolds, to the more powerful monster living in the deeper part of the forest.
Most of the monsters in the deeper part rarely come out of their territory, with several exception such as the order of a more powerful monster to having being kicked out by another monster.
There is also an evt called Monster Rampage. It usually happ wh there is a lot of monsters inside one Mana Zone, resulting for the Mana Zone to cause them to rampage and attack any nearby settlemts and towns.
Here are some basic guides to find a monster\'s hideout or d," he th read all of it and burned it in his memory.
"So, I am currtly in the outskirts," he assumed, his hands molesting Laili with no remorse.
"I could go deeper but as for me right now, I am not strong ough to be able to do so," he stroke his chin before coming up with a plan.
"While attacking them immediately will be dangerous, as they are wary of another attack, right now, but I can still do something that will tip the scale to our favor," he said, eying his Demonic Goblins.
While he is unsure of their combat capabilities, he is sure they could defeat the humans, but how much is needed is something he did not know.
"I have to increase our number for now, not to mtion, I also need to arm them," he looked at his goblins. While he is busy stealing the books, he had observed some of the battle as well, and could only grimace as the items they used, he could not, ev in his mind, called it equipmt.
"It\'s a good thing he can buy weapons for the goblins," he said. While the weapons cost a lot, up to 50 LP for a single sword and the same price for a shield, he did not mind buying it as it will increase the strgth of his force to be ough to threat, maybe ev destroy the settlemt.
"But I should keep the wom alive. Maybe doing it with someone else would make the LP gain higher," he said before shelving such thought after he is done conquering the settlemt.
Though, he is still excited for it, as a single human death had granted SP.
"I need to kill 0 people before my SP is ough to upgrade myself and become a Greater Demon," he concluded.
Killing is a necessities at this point and he accept it. It just nothing in the forest gave him more than SP per kill and he has no plan of killing the population of deer and wolves in this part of the forest. Goblins are fair game though.
"Now let see the kingdom I will no doubt have to fight against," he said before reading the information on the Astor Kingdom.
"Astor Kingdom, located at the western part of Roluk Contint. Consider by many as a Tier Nation, with many considered it to be at the top of Tier . Possessed a large area under it\'s control, as well as Mana Zones, 6 being Level , 3 at Level and at Level 3.
So, I\'m at the sole Level 3 Mana Zones in the Kingdom," he assumed, as there could be more but just keep secret for some reason.
"The number of Mana Zones allow the kingdom to prosper as Mana Zones have great bounties in the form of rare resources for the higher one. If a Mana Zone can be control, it also a good place to farm, as the ambit mana release will help the crops to grow faster and bigger than usual, as well as being possible to farm some rare plants as well.
So, the more Mana Zones one have, the more resources one could have. Not to mtion, a tamed, or at least the place where they conquered and eliminated all monsters will help be a good place for agriculture, maybe ev build a city," he guessed.
"The Astor Kingdom Capital, Astor City, located at the cter of the kingdom, near the river Astor and is a Tier . There are also 4 more Tier City in the kingdom, as well as 8 Tier City, and hundreds of Tier 3 Towns as well.
So, the kingdom are really big. So why do people settle here?" he asked, flipping through the pages, hoping to find the answer.
Thankfully, he find it.
"Astor Kingdom is considering to turn a part of Lunos Forest into it\'s territory. To do so, they plan to build some small settlemts while sding groups of soldiers, mercaries and advturers to clear the outskirts before allowing the populace to reside there.
Is this the reason why there are no other animals and monsters," he thought before thinking it might be one of the reason.
"Expedition to the deeper part of the forest had be unsuccessful with severe casualties to the expeidtion force. Small raids will suffice for now to reduce the number of monsters," he began to realize the severity of the situation.
