Chapter 760: Chapter 519, Arranging Slaves_2
Then comes Li Rong, with a handbag slung over her shoulder and obviously looking more dressed up than usual.
She carried herself like a wealthy lady, looking around with a keen eye.
She was taken aback by the sight of the stone path covered by a glass canopy and lined with lamps that ran down both sides of the street.
Li Rong was completely stunned.
For a moment, she thought she was back in the modern world.
But the sight of a patrolling skeleton by the side of the road quickly reminded her that she was still in this world and had not returned to modern times.
This realization only left her feeling even more amazed.
Fang Hao’s settlement had developed tremendously, and life here was hardly distinguishable from that of the modern world.
If Fang Hao had only been an ordinary man in the modern world, then his life here was much better than it had been before.

“Amanda, Li Rong, let’s go inside and chat.”
The light screen shattered, and Fang Hao invited the two women inside the city lord’s mansion for a chat.
Fang Hao’s hall was far grander than Li Rong’s.
In fact, it could be considered a small palace, hardly inferior to Olivia’s residence.
Li Rong’s eyes widened, but she felt it was only appropriate.
With street lamps outside, a bit of luxury inside was only to be expected.
As the maids had all been sent away for collective training, the place seemed rather empty.
After he gestured for the two women to sit down, Fang Hao went down to the basement and took out a chilled fruit wine for Li Rong.
Amanda, being undead, naturally didn’t need any of these.
After finishing up, Fang Hao also sat down and asked softly, “Amanda, is everything going smoothly?”
“Yes, I occasionally patrol around Silver Wing City and they still aren’t completely sure of my intention. I suppose by the time they realize, the battle on the dwarf’s side will already be over,” Amanda calmly replied from behind her mask.
More than half a month had passed since Fang Hao returned from Silver Wing City.
For this entire duration, Amanda had been making sporadic appearances in Silver Wing City, causing an uproar among their troops.
Her elusive and almost undefendable attack style had given the city a great deal of trouble.
The church had records of the Gold Eating Queen.
When they found out that the ruler of the ancient kingdom, a Dark Gold undead hero, had resurfaced, the shock was nothing short of an undead army laying siege to Silver Wing City.
The ensuing chaos in Silver Wing City quickly spread like a plague to all the other cities.
This development effectively resulted in the postponement of their support plan for the Dwarves.
By the time they came to their senses, the dwarf territory would likely have fallen and a large portion would already have been annexed into Fang Hao’s territory.
“Good, you’ve worked hard,” Fang Hao thought for a moment before speaking again, “Let Nelson show you around the city, familiarize yourself with the surroundings.”
Amanda responded as coolly as ever.
She didn’t say a word, simply giving a slight nod of her head.
Fang Hao sent for Nelson.
Nelson, who had always been immersed in his research and showed no interest in other affairs of the territory, respectfully undertook the task of being a guide.
He led Amanda away for a tour around the city.
By now, the main city had reached level 12, its scale on par with Lyss City.
It should be noted that Lyss City’s residential area is divided into commoners’ and nobles’ quarters, with three commercial streets.
That’s quite a large scale indeed.
Compared to that, Fang Hao’s territory was of the same size, but with a significantly smaller population.
Even so, it was large enough for Amanda to wander about for quite a while.
Once Amanda had left, only Fang Hao and Li Rong remained in the hall.
Before taking her to visit the Rabbitmen Clan and Foxmen Tribe, he planned to discuss the packaging of cosmetics with her.
He called on the Bound Spirit Guardians standing guard outside the door once again to summon the goldsmith.
The skeleton goldsmith Luke was brought in quickly.
Walking alongside him was a wooden box which clinked and clanked as he moved.
Having already accepted the fact of the undead, Li Rong was not too surprised to see Luke.
Rather, she wondered what Fang Hao would need a skeleton studded with various tools for.
“Good morning, Lord,” Luke greeted, bowing in respect.
“Yes, take a seat, Luke.”
Fang Hao then introduced, “Li Rong, this is Luke, a goldsmith of our territory, a craftsman with excellent skills. I think he may be able to bring some division in grades to our cosmetics!”
A goldsmith?
That’s a strange kind of soldier, thought Li Rong as she curiously examined the skeleton across her, while Luke nodded in acknowledgement.
“What do you mean?” Li Rong did not quite catch what Fang Hao was trying to say.
“Luke, show the products you brought to City Lord Li Rong,” instructed Fang Hao.
Luke placed the wooden box he was holding on a table by Li Rong.
Curiosity piqued, Li Rong took each item out.
First came bottles made of glass. The craftsmanship was not as sophisticated as modern technologies,
but these were rare items in this era.
Only Alchemists would use these bottles to store their potions.
Part of the reason why Alchemical potions are so expensive is because of these glass bottles.
Li Rong instantly understood what Fang Hao was hinting at and felt a surge of joy.
With glass bottles, she would be able to market liquid cosmetics.
It made sense, if he could produce glass plates, he surely could make glass bottles too.
Before her excitement had a chance to subside, Li Rong picked up the second item.
It was a perfectly square wooden box with beautifully engraved metallic patterns on its surface.
Li Rong’s eyes widened as she lightly traced the metallic layer wrapped around it.
She found to her surprise not only were the engravings exquisite but the edges also felt smooth and rounded when touched.
