Owen stayed in Noir for two days and finished all the things that needed to be discussed before leaving the place and going south to inspect the Mystery City.

Since the construction of the city required a large area of ​​open and flat land, the Alliance of All Races sent people to cut down trees, causing the Mysterious Forest to have a large number of trees cut off as if it had suffered a haircut.

Most of the felled trees were used for house construction in Mystery City, and a small number were exported to Auroville and Nuva to be exchanged for money.

Coupled with the strong support of Dawn City, various building materials were continuously shipped over, and some experienced craftsmen were sent over for special guidance.

As a result, a new city quietly emerged on the east bank of Wenshui River.

Under the arrangements of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Tribes, demi-humans from various tribes are moving into this new city in an orderly manner and starting a new life.

After learning that the alliance leader was coming to inspect the construction of Mystery City, tribal chiefs who held important positions in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Tribes and representatives of human craftsmen sent to guide the construction of the city formed a welcoming team and waited early at the north intersection of the city.

Not long after, an escort team appeared from the north and moved towards Mystery City.

Arriving at Mystery City smoothly, a carriage stopped in front of the welcoming team.

Seeing Irving getting out of the car, the people who came to greet him knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "I have met the leader (His Majesty)."

Glancing around at the demihuman races and human craftsmen who greeted him, Owen said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Lord (Your Majesty)." The people who came to greet him stood up one after another.

Arriving in front of Lusha in the front row of the crowd, Owen motioned to the escort team behind him.

"Enter them well, and then take me to visit the Mystery City."

"Yes, Alliance Leader." Lusha nodded in response.

Within the Alliance of All Races, Lusha is one of the five deputy leaders, and because he controls the alliance's army, his actual status is extremely high, second only to the leader Owen.

Next, Lusha instructed several lizards and wild boars to receive the escort, and led Owen and his party into the city for inspection.

After half a year of construction, Mystery City already has the prototype of a city. Countless houses are being built at the same time. Demi-humans of different races perform their respective duties and participate in the construction of the city together.

Along the way, Owen saw everyone working in an orderly manner and nodded with great satisfaction.

At this time, he turned to look at the human craftsman representative, thought about it, and said, "I remember your name is Pigu, right?"

Unexpectedly, the king remembered his name, and Pigu responded with fear: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"It must be very hard work to guide the demihuman race in building a city."

Owen asked with concern: "How are you living here? How is the food? Are there any inconveniences? Do you feel homesick?"

"It's a bit hard to return to His Majesty, but it's all worth it. Directing the construction of multiple houses at the same time is also a good exercise for me."

Pigu was very touched by the king's concern.

"To be honest, we were very uneasy when we first came here, worried that we wouldn't get along with the demi-human race. But it turned out that this worry was completely unnecessary. The Alliance of Ten Thousand Races treated us very well and provided the best accommodation and food.

, we are very satisfied, there is no inconvenience in living here. I am definitely homesick, my wife and children are both in Dawn City, but I hope to do a good job here."

"That's good."

It seems that human craftsmen have received preferential treatment while living and working in Mystery City, and there have been no hate incidents, which reassures Owen.

"However, if you feel homesick, you can ask for a few days off from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races and go back to spend time with your wife and children. This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Owen said the last sentence while looking at the tribal leaders on the other side, including Lusha.

"Of course, no problem." Wu Na, the leader of the Wumu tribe, responded promptly.

The further he walked toward the center of the city, the more built-up the houses became.

After asking, I learned that Mystery City was built starting from the Alliance Building in the center of the city, and then gradually expanded outwards.

Near the center of the city, several houses in designated areas have been built, and demi-humans from various tribes have been introduced to live there.

Arriving at one of the residential areas, Owen saw that the houses built here all had the same appearance and were neatly lined up along the street, like a well-trained army.

In this regard, he also understands that if you want to build a large number of houses quickly, you must build them in batches according to the same house design drawing.

As long as it can accommodate people, it's fine. Don't be so demanding.

"That seems to be our leader."

"You are truly the leader of the alliance!"

"I heard that the leader of the alliance can transform. Can you see the Dark Knight?"

Seeing the top leaders of the Alliance of All Races walking over with a human, the demihuman residents living here gathered over and started talking not far away.

Noticing that all the demi-human residents here knew him, Owen asked Lusha who was standing aside: "How come they all know me? I should have never shown my face in front of so many demi-human races."

On the day when the Alliance of Ten Thousand Tribes was established, Owen appeared in front of the clan leaders of each tribe and the men they brought with them, but that was all.

"Leader, you will understand when you come to the alliance building." Lusha said mysteriously.

Union Building? What's going on there?

With this doubt, Irving and his group came to the central square in front of the Alliance Building. When they looked up and saw something, they understood it instantly.

There is a huge painting of Irving's head hanging above the door of the League Building, and the painting is very like it, just like a real person.

Anywhere in the square, as long as you look up, you can see that portrait.

"Leader, how are you doing?"

Lusha put on a smug look and asked Owen for credit: "I hang your portrait here to tell everyone that you are the master of Mystery City. From now on, everyone who passes by the square will look up and see your portrait.

, will all be grateful to you for uniting all tribes and bringing a better life to everyone."

Looking at his portrait in surprise, Owen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, he asked: "Who painted this?"

"Back to the leader of the alliance." Lusha said, "It was painted by a long-nosed tribe named Baal. He is very good at painting. He attended the first meeting of alliance members with the tribe leader and met you."

The Long-nosed Tribe, as the name suggests, is a race of demi-humans with very long noses, wide ears, and a pair of exposed tusks like wild boars. Humans generally call them elephant-headed people.

Owen always feels a little embarrassed that his portrait is admired by people every day. He is not a god worshiped by believers every day.

But it doesn't seem right to ask Lusha and the others to take down the portrait quickly.

After much thought, Owen decided to ignore the portrait.

"Hmm." He cleared his throat, "Let's go and report to me on the recent situation in Mystery City inside."
