Chapter 730: The Winged Divine Dragon and Vena Blackgold
Bade was deep in thought, taking a long time to respond to Su Yu.
Su Yu wasn't in a hurry. He calmly waited for Bade's reply, confident that Bade would eventually agree.
Bade had to announce the six new sub-dimensions with the new update tomorrow. Even though the plot had taken a different turn from the previous life, the World's Will wouldn't allow one person to influence an entire expansion by themselves.
Morningstar, the cat, grew impatient.
She perched on Su Yu's shoulder, her tail swaying restlessly. If it weren't for Bade's superior strength, she would have urged him to make a decision faster.
Eventually, Bade's servant showed some tact.
The servant brought in a few platters of beautifully presented fruits, one of which was particularly to Morningstar's liking. She calmed down as she mled the fruit.
...
Bade Bade's ...
Bade remained silent for about five minutes.
After five minutes, he gently shook his body, and a buzzing sound emanated from his head. "Buzz~"
Noticing Bade's movement, Morningstar put down her fruit and looked up at the two of them, her gaze mostly fixed on Su Yu since she couldn't understand Bade's words.
Hearing the buzzing sound, Su Yu's expression turned serious. "I promise to adhere to the [New World Friendship Agreement]. I will only conduct fair trade with these sub-dimensions and will not harm a single innocent inhabitant!"
The [New World Friendship Agreement] was a peace treaty signed by the two major factions at the end of the expansion. It allowed the main dimension's races to engage in friendly exchanges and equal trade with the new World, but strictly prohibited any form of aggressive invasion or covert colonization.
Bade's final "Buzz" seemed to activate a one-way confidentiality setting, and Morningstar instantly understood what he said.
He said, "Alright, I'll tell you the coordinates of the six sub-dimensions and how to enter them. But you must swear to keep your word!"
"Rest assured, trust my integrity," Su Yu solemnly promised.
...
Five minutes later, in the city of Auphi, a pale blue teleportation gate opened in the sky.
Su Yu stepped through the gate, returning to his territory.
Looking down, he saw that he had arrived exactly where he wanted to be—the Auphi City Government Building.
The Auphi City Government, once a dilapidated two-story building, was now a complex of eight towering structures, each standing several stories high.
The entire complex was modern, and if one only looked at the appearance and construction, they might think it was from Earth!
The faint earth-yellow earth magic arrays (reinforcement magic arrays) on some of the buildings revealed that this was still within the game world.
...
Upon reaching the sky above the government complex, Su Yu immediately used his vast mental power to scan the eight government buildings below. The bustling activities within the buildings immediately appeared in his mind.
The office facilities inside the buildings were similar to those on Earth, with numerous desks and computers.
However, the NPC inhabitants still wore traditional clothing from four or five years ago due to custom, creating a sense of anachronism.
Images of various offices flashed through Su Yu's mind, and he quickly noticed the stark contrast in the employees' behavior—some were diligently working, others were idly scrolling through their phones, and a few had even developed office romances, their connections evident.
Su Yu didn't bother with the mundane details; his focus was on finding Vena Blackgold. After scanning three buildings with his psychic powers, he finally located the small goblin in a large office on the top floor of the fourth building. This office seemed to be his designated space in the city government, though he rarely visited it.
Standing beside Vena Blackgold was the tall, elegant Pterasaurus, whom Su Yu had been communicating with privately for the past few months but hadn't seen in person for a long time.
Without hesitation, Su Yu used the Teleportation Spell. In the next instant, he appeared in the large office, standing before Pterasaurus and Vena Blackgold.
---
The sudden appearance of Su Yu startled both Pterasaurus and Vena Blackgold, but they quickly recovered.
"Boss, you finally made it!" Pterasaurus stepped forward, extending her hand with a look of admiration and pride in her eyes.
Vena Blackgold immediately knelt before Su Yu, beaming. "My Lord, it's a pleasure to see you again! It's been so long!"
"Hello, both of you! It has indeed been a while." Su Yu shook Pterasaurus's hand and observed the two of them.
Pterasaurus wore a pure white cleric's robe, which had been tailored to resemble a qipao, with high slits on the sides that revealed her long, pale legs, making her look both sacred and alluring.
Vena Blackgold was dressed in a finely crafted suit typical of the Golden Finch nobility, which highlighted his status.
Looking at Vena Blackgold's attire, Su Yu joked, "Blackgold, your suit is quite impressive. It looks more refined than mine."
"Hardly, my Lord," Vena Blackgold replied with a smile. "While my suit may look good, it's just ordinary clothing. Your outfit is high-quality gear! A small piece of it could buy me a hundred suits!"
"Ha, just a joke," Su Yu patted the goblin's shoulder.
He then turned to both of them. "Thank you for your hard work managing the territory in my absence. Your efforts have been invaluable, and you are far more competent than I am as a lord!"
Pterasaurus had sacrificed her chance to become a high-tier power by choosing to manage the territory, while Vena Blackgold had revitalized the territory's trade and commerce, making the guild flourish.
They were Su Yu's most capable and loyal lieutenants.
"You're too kind, this is our duty," Pterasaurus said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with a shy smile. Helping Su Yu manage the territory so he could focus on his external battles was a source of great satisfaction for her, both as a wife... no, as a subordinate.
Vena Blackgold was equally moved. "My Lord saved my life; this is the least I can do!"
