Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 11: Upgrade the Dragon Nest! Dark Demon Dragon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at the dragon’s nest in front of him, Mike’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

[Do you want to upgrade the dragon nest?]

[Yes][No]

“Upgrade.”

Mike naturally chose yes.

He had worked hard for two days just for this moment!

Soon, the dragon’s nest was covered by a dazzling golden light.

Even Mike could not see what was inside the golden light.

He could only wait for the golden light to dissipate.

After about ten seconds.

The golden light finally dissipated.

[Dragon nest: unique military structure]

[Current level: Level 2]

[Contains 99 dragon eggs]

[Inferno Dragon, Frost Dragon, Sapphire Dragon, Undead Bone Dragon...]

[Inferno Dragon: its entire body is red, with scales as hard as metal, eyes like lava, wings on its back, four legs, head like a horse but with horns.]

[Sapphire Dragon: its entire body is blue...]

[...]

[Required to level up and hatch: 500 energy stones, 5 strange crystals.]

[Ps: Level 2 dragon nest. You can only hatch one randomly!]

I thought that I would be able to hatch a few more after I reached level 2. I did not expect that I would only be able to hatch one.

The energy stones required to hatch for the next level are all 500. I still have to take it slow.

[Do you want to hatch a dragon egg?]

[Yes][No]

“Yes”

He hoped to hatch a different dragon.

[Ding, the dragon egg is hatching.]

...

Not long after, a pitch-black dragon appeared in front of Mike.

Looking at the dragon in front of him, an information template appeared in Mike’s field of vision.

[Dark Demon Dragon.]

[Dark and evil demonic dragon, the ruler of the night.]

[Growth stage: Tier 3, level 1(infancy).]

[Ability: can spit pitch-black flames.]

[Loyalty: 100 (Die-hard).]

“Dark and evil?”

“The moment it hatches, it has the strength of tier 3!”

“That’s fine too.”

“The level 2 dragon nest is still much stronger than the level 1 dragon nest.”

“If I keep upgrading the dragon’s nest, will I be able to directly hatch a complete tier 9 dragon?”

Mike thought to himself.

Now that he had one more dragon, he would have more strength.

He would be one step closer to obtaining that special reward.

“My Lord”

The Dark Demon Dragon also knelt on all fours, its head lowered.

“Mm, I’ll call you Barr then.”

“Thank you for your name, my Lord,” Barr said piously.

It was the same for the Dark Demon Dragon. They all believed in Mike. They were extremely pious towards Mike and would not betray him.

Mike looked at the huge blood moon above his head and said to Barr.

“Barr, will your strength decline in the dark night?”

“It won’t, my Lord. In the dark night, not only will our Dark Demon Dragon’s strength not decline, but we will become even stronger.”

“Oh?”

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Mike’s mind.

During the day, Tyrell could go out and hunt wild monsters.

At night, he could let Barr go out and hunt wild monsters.

At the end of the day, he would not waste any time at all. The end of the novice’s protection period was getting closer and closer. Time was money.

By seizing every second to improve himself, would it not be easier to tide over the Beast Tide?

Although Mike only had two troops, he was improving all the time!

At night, the other Castle Lords could only curl up in the protective shield and did not dare to go out.

But Mike was different. The newly hatched giant dragon could go out and hunt wild monsters at night.

This made Mike pull away from the other castle lords.

“Barr, if that’s the case, then go out and hunt wild monsters. But be careful.”

After all, the strength of monsters and magical beasts in the wild had increased threefold. If he were to be injured like this, Mike would be quite heartbroken.

“Yes, my Lord.”

Barr immediately flew out of the castle.

Mike looked at Tyrell and said

“It’s been hard today. Have a good rest. There’s a secondary castle next to it. You can go inside and rest.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Mike looked at his castle information

[Dragon King Castle.]

[Current level: Advanced Castle.]

[Next level: basic town.]

[Required to level up: 100,000 units of wood, 50,000 units of stones, and 10,000 units of refined iron.]

[Ordinary building: Warehouse, secondary castle.]

[Special building: Dragon nest (unique).]

...

Phew! Upgrading a town required too many materials, as well as refined iron. The quantity was not low!

To the current Castle Lord, this was definitely a massive amount of resources.

Even Mike could not help but take a deep breath.

It seemed that upgrading to a town was not that easy anymore.

It was only the second day, and he had already upgraded to an advanced castle, far ahead of the other castle lords,

however, after tonight, perhaps the castle lords with high-grade castles would also appear one after another.

The gap in the early stages was not big.

Do not look at the vast majority of Castle Lords now. Castles were all low-grade, and very few had reached the intermediate-grade.

However, it was very easy for them to catch up.

After returning to the main castle, he lay on his bed.

Mike saw that the food on the shelves in the [space exchange] was selling very slowly.

Although the speed was very slow, it was still unable to cope with the shortage of food.

When the affordable food was bought out, there would still be Castle Lords who would grit their teeth and buy Mike’s food.

“Looks like this wave of welfare won’t last long.”

“After tomorrow, it will be very difficult to sell the high-priced food.”

Mike speculated that the food would generally reach the state of parity on the third day, which was one unit of food would be exchanged for ten units of wood and five units of stone.

It would be impossible to double the price.

It was already impossible.

Now in the warehouse, including the materials purchased tonight, there were 40,000 units of wood, 6,000 units of stone, and not a single unit of refined iron.

“It seems that there is still a long way to go to upgrade to a town!”

Mike sighed softly.

“I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, Barr will bring me a surprise!”

Mike gradually fell asleep.

In the dream, he stood on the clouds, commanding billions of giant dragons to sweep across the Otherworld Continent.

The name of the Dragon King Dynasty shook the entire world.

Unfortunately, this was really just a dream.

He only had two giant dragons now.

There was still a long way to go before the giant dragons formed an army.

The energy in Mike’s body gradually increased while he was sleeping.

...

The next morning, Mike woke up from his sleep.

He stretched and found that his physique had improved a lot. It turned out that he had risen from tier 2 to tier 3.

So, he went to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, there were a lot of wild monster corpses piled up.

Barr was also resting at the side. After all, he had been busy all night.

At this time, his aura was much stronger than when he had just hatched.. Apparently, he had also reached the tier 4.
