Under the boundless night of Fengling Plain, Starwind City is like a bright gem embedded in the silver ring of the moat.
After Salina passed the city wall, she lowered her flight altitude and flew silently over the large residential area in the lower city.
Li Ran could see that many of the once ten-room, nine-empty residences were now occupied, and the smoke and smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
Next, they flew over the garrison in the southern part of the city.
The tall god building exuded a faint spiritual glow. On the towering griffon tower, some griffins who had not yet fallen asleep discovered the black dragon in the sky. They raised their heads curiously and followed Salina's flight path. .
Li Ran saw that in a corner of the garrison, the blacksmith shop near the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau was producing overnight. The furnace for melting pig iron emitted a blazing light, and the sound of the blacksmith's tapping on the iron felt echoed in the solemn streets of the garrison. It kept echoing.
Immediately afterwards, Salina came to the top of the Central Street, passed by the patrolling spearmen and the trading blocks that were closed at night, and flew straight north.
Soon, they arrived at the destination of this long journey - the open central square.
Under the light of the magic crystal lamp, Eureka led Malen and others to stand in front of the city lord's mansion, preparing to welcome Li Ran.
Selina stretched out her wings and glided across the square for a while before landing in the open space in front of the city lord's palace.
Eureka, who was wearing a white aristocratic dress, was the first to come forward and said softly: "Welcome back, Li Ran. Did the journey go well?"
Li Ran hugged Xuerou, jumped off the dragon's back and stood still.
He looked into Eureka's aqua blue eyes and said with a smile: "Eureka, you have worked hard during this period. There were some accidents on the road, but they have been resolved."
Immediately afterwards, Li Ran looked at the Grand Consul on the side and said seriously: "Mr. Malen, along the way, I saw that the appearance of the Starwind Territory has undergone tremendous changes! During the year when I was away from the territory, the Government Affairs Department Very effective in organizational building, thank you for your hard work.”
Malen looked at Li Ran with a red face: "This is all thanks to the benefits brought by your mediation in the Wolf Principality. Starwind Territory has opened up the bottleneck of population and trade development, and there is a lot to do in the future!"
At this time, Eureka noticed a child following Li Ran.
Xuerou hid behind Li Ran, stuck her head out, and looked at the officials of the Government Affairs Department curiously.
Eureka asked: "Who is this?"
Li Ran said: "Xue Rou, you came from Falkenridge. I will elaborate on the specific reasons later." He looked at the Grand Consul aside, "Mr. Mullen, next she will become a member of the Star Wind Leader." Member, please help me arrange her life properly."
Maren nodded and said, "Don't worry, she will be properly arranged."
The Grand Consul looked at the old man beside him and ordered: "Charles, this lady is tired from the journey. She will stay at your house to rest for the night. A staff member will come to meet you tomorrow."
"Okay, Mr. Mullen." Charles said, showing a kind smile and extending his hand to Xuerou.
Li Ran looked at the old man named Charles.
As Elrath's priest apprentice, Li Ran could feel the light magic flowing in him - he was a devout mid-level priest.
He knew that this Charles was the wandering priest who returned from the occupied areas of the Bucks Principality and was quite knowledgeable. He was discovered by Mullen and was serving as the editor-in-chief of the territory's only internal communication publication "Starwind Daily".
Although Li Ran had seen his signature many times in newspapers, this was the first time he saw him in person.
Xuerou behind her tugged at the corner of Li Ran's clothes, looking a little scared.
Li Ran knelt down, looked into Xuerou's eyes and explained: "Don't worry, Xuerou, this is your uncle's home, and it will also be your new home. You will not be harmed here. Just go back with Mr. Charles. "
Xuerou looked at Li Ran and then at Charles.
Starwind City was quiet and peaceful at night. This atmosphere made her relax, and she also trusted her "good guy" uncle who could shine.
Xuerou nodded and said softly: "Okay uncle, I will listen to you."
She walked towards the old priest.
Charles nodded to Li Ran and took Xuerou back to his home on Yulu Street. Perhaps little Norman would be happy to see this lady who had returned from the pioneering area.
After arranging the girl rescued from Falkenridge, Li Ran sighed softly.
He turned back and looked at the followers and government officials present.
"Now, it's time to get on with our work."
Li Ran came to the city lord's mansion, opened the door, and walked into the war hall that he had been away from for a long time.
A special meeting is about to be held here.
Due to time constraints, Li Ran will plan the next phase of the territory's development at this meeting, and will then head to the Wolf Principality with Salina as soon as possible.
At this time, the Starwind Fleet led by Jamil had already assembled its forces in Hammerfell.
After Li Ran arrives and boards the ship, the fleet will immediately set off to the Emerald Ocean to search for the former origin of the Dragon Blood Crystal and those lost overseas worlds, striving to inject another strong impetus into the development of the Starwind Territory.
But before the meeting officially started, Li Ran still had one important thing to complete.
After serving as the acting lord for three months, Eureka handed over the lordship authority to Li Ran and returned the Faceless Man's artifact "Disguise Mask" to him.
After becoming the lord of Starwind Territory again, Li Ran immediately restored his connection with the heart of Starwind City Castle.
"Long time no see, Lord City Lord."
A gentle and delicate female voice rang in Li Ran's ears.
"Long time no see, Starwind City."
Li Ran smiled and greeted Castle Heart.
"I can feel that your body and soul have changed," Castle Heart said. "You seem to have a weak psychic talent, which will be beneficial to your connection with the city of gods."
Immediately, the level and current status of the city of gods in Star Wind City appeared in front of Li Ran.

Starwind City remained unbroken during the Starbreaker invasion, safeguarding the glory of humanity. During the construction of the city, Elrath's divine power strengthened the city walls. After being cursed and turned into undead, the legendary Third Guard Company of Starwind City continued to guard the city, and at the cost of all deaths, the natural disaster-level curse was lifted. This made the residents and defenders of the city feel close to the undead. .
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Some readers reported that the chapter on the Wolf Principality lacked data support and that the growth of the territory was unintuitive and somewhat abrupt.
The author's previous writing direction was to reduce data as much as possible, and felt that using explanatory narratives would help reduce repetitive and boring upgrade paragraphs, but the effect may not be very good.
Therefore, the new volume will focus on describing the details of some territory farming and development, and explain in detail the urban development ecology of the gods mentioned in the previous article.
