Reincarnated Lord: I can upgrade everything!

Chapter 225 Black Knight Cavalry

[Ding!...][Host, you can save the people by upgrading Ashkelon from a normal-grade city into a mythical-grade city.]

[Warning! To upgrade a city into a mythical one, the host needs more than my energy. Certain items are needed to fulfill upgrade criteria.]

Asher's eyebrows furrowed. He recalled warning the system about upgrading things that would cost him without his permission.

[Items needed for an underground mythical city are 20,000 earth crystals, 15,000 fire crystals, 10,000 water crystals, and 5,000 air crystals. (All must be of the mythical grade!)]

Asher felt the world become silent for a split second. In that split second he could remember looking at a screen on Earth where some grade of elemental crystals were identified with '???'

Mythical was amongst them.

These were elemental crystals that had formed since the forgotten era! To find such crystals, he needed more than influence but also power to fight empires!

[Ding!...]

[Would you like to exchange 2.5 million gold coins for the required items? Yes or No?]

'2.5 million.'

Asher chuckled bitterly inwardly. What was going on? Where was the system that was at his beck and call, doing everything for him without a cost?

Although he knew upgrading a city into a mythical one altered the world too much to be without a cost, Asher wished for it.

Plop!

He fell on his bottom, leaning against the bulwark and staring at the snowing skies.

"My lord!"

The King Swordsmen beside him rushed forward, but Asher raised his hand. "Let me be."

[Host, the entire amount in your domain is up to this amount. Why don't you proceed?]

Finally, after a long time, Asher heard that female voice, but this time, it was slightly compassionate.

'I have thousands of workers building the wall of Tiberias. I have thousands of soldiers to pay. I have officials and farmers. The economy will collapse without money.'

[But you have a gold mine.]

Asher's eyes widened.

'How did I forget the gold mine!'

[If I am to proceed using the gold mine, I shall absorb 7 years worth of mining effort to gain the amount needed to upgrade Ashkelon. Would you like me to upgrade the city? Yes or No?]

'Do it!'

Boom!

It was as if the earth split open. People began to look around,

4000 strong, clad in thick black armor with their long crimson lances, rode jet black, handsome Centraks that had black crystals in place of those bone spikes and golden eyes.

Their white cloaks fluttered as they galloped toward the city.

Their menacing aura billowed, coming as a ferocious tide.

"Wow! Uncle Lambert's unit has gotten another upgrade."

Nero, who was hovering by flapping his wings, softly remarked.

Without being told, he knew the Bladebreakers benefited from the city's change.

They were now the Black Knight Cavalry!
