After saying these words, Mike smiled helplessly.

Of course, he said it as a joke. However, it was this joke that made him realize a problem that he had never thought of before.

He suddenly asked the system, “Oh right, if I keep killing monsters in the wild, especially creatures like dragons, is there a chance of dropping blueprints for structures like dragon’s nest?”

After Mike asked this question, the system was silent for a while.

Then it replied.

[Sorry, the Castle Lord can explore this question on his own. The system has has no right to answer!]

“…”

Mike only felt that the system was messing with him again.

Could it be… that killing monsters in the wild could really drop a building blueprint like dragon’s nest?

Mike changed his way of thinking and continued to ask.

“If the other Castle Lords find a construction blueprint for the dragon nest, can they build it?”

“If they can build it, then can I still call my military construction unique?”

“Isn’t it meaningless?”

This time, the system quickly answered.

[This possibility doesn’t exist!]

[As the unique military construction, the dragon nest has been bound to the first Castle Lord to build it!]

[Even if other Castle Lords finds the ‘Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint’, they won’t be able to build it!]

Seeing this reply, Mike felt much better.

Sure enough, as long as he asked the questions in the right manner, he could still get some information from the system.

The reply from the system had made him realize two points.

First, the Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint should indeed exist.

Otherwise, the phrase ‘Other Castle Lords finds the Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint’ would not be valid here.

The reply from the system would be the same as before, allowing him to explore on his own.

Second, even if the Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint were to be found by another Castle Lord, that Castle Lord could only look at the blueprints with envy, while he looked at how powerful the Dragon Castle was. He would not be able to use it.

Hence, that Castle Lord could only face two choices.

First, he had to bear with the pain and sell the Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint to Mike. That way, Mike would be able to reap a huge harvest.

Second, he had to hide the blueprint, and not let Mike discover them.

Otherwise, Mike would definitely send out the dragon battle team to crush his castle!

“Sure, since there’s a Dragon Nest Military Structure Blueprint, I’m happy!”

“At least there’s hope!”

“As long as there are enough dragon nests in my castle, the number of dragon hatchlings will increase!”

“The number of dragon eggs will receive a huge increase!”

“In the future, my castle will be filled with dragon nests. Establishing a dragon dynasty with tens of millions of dragons is definitely not a dream!”

Mike’s eyes were filled with anticipation!

At that time, forget about conquering the Endless Continent! If he gathered the troops of the giant dragon dynasty, it was possible to attack and conquer the dimensional plane!

After checking the dragon nests, Mike strolled downstairs.

Finally, he walked in front of the ancient elven tree at the back of the castle.

At this moment, the nature elves around the ancient elven tree seemed to have gone out to hunt.

Only the nature elf elder, Becky, stood guard in front of the ancient elven tree.

“Dragon Lord, are you here to nurture the nature elves?”

Becky looked at Mike and smiled.

“Yes.” Mike nodded.

However, at this moment…

An awkward smile appeared on Becky’s face again. She tilted her head and said, “Dragon Lord, our mother just failed to break through to the demigod tier!”

“She’s probably in pain right now!”

However, before Becky could finish her sentence.

A soft voice interrupted her. A green breeze materialized in front of her and turned into a barefoot girl.

“Becky, don’t talk to the Dragon Lord like that!”

Jonia looked at Becky with a slightly accusing look.

“Since our nature elf tribe has submitted to the Dragon Lord, everything must be done by the Dragon Lord!”

“It’s true that I’m disappointed that I failed to become a demigod, but this can’t affect the Dragon Lord’s nurturing of the nature elves every day!”

Towards her own children, Jonia naturally doted on them very much.

However, no matter how much she doted on them, she still knew when to discipline them.

“Understood, mother!”

Becky immediately lowered her head to Jonia, and then sincerely lowered her head to Mike.

“I’m sorry, I’ve offended you, Dragon Lord!”

“Becky is willing to accept any punishment!”

Seeing how serious Becky and Jonia were, Mike felt a little helpless, and then waved his hand with a smile.

“I know, just don’t do it again next time!”

“I won’t punish you this time.”

Mike knew that the nature elves were very pure, and it was unintentional to offend him.

So he did not care too much.

After the matter was settled, Jonia also looked at Mike and smiled.

“Dragon Lord, are you also here to breed nature elves today?”

Mike shook his head. “Not really!”

“I’m here today to help you raise the level of the ancient elven tree!”

“After your level increases, you’ll be able to breed even more elves!”

Hearing Mike’s words, Jonia’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, with a hint of anticipation.

“Raising the level… Could it be that you’ve accumulated enough energy stones and strange crystals recently, Dragon Lord?”

Mike nodded. “Yes. Recently, the nature elves have joined forces with the Dragon Battle Team to take down two undead forces in the underground world.”

“We’ve gained a lot of resources!”

“As a part of your efforts, you nature elves deserve to be rewarded!”

Hearing this, Jonia immediately lowered her head.

“We’re grateful for the Dragon Lord’s reward. Fighting for the Dragon Lord is what we nature elves should do!”

Mike could not help but laugh.

Then he spoke again.

“It’s just a bit of a pity! These two undead forces were wiped out yesterday afternoon!”

“At that time, you had already given birth to nature elves!”

“If not, if you had upgraded your ancient tree body yesterday, you would have been able to give birth to even more elves!”

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment could not help but appear on Jonia’s pure face.

Right now, her mind could not help but be filled with thoughts.

Yesterday, those two undead forces should have come to the Dragon Lord’s doorstep earlier, so that they could have destroyed them earlier!

This way, she would be able to give birth to even more little elves!

Now, they had lost some little elves during the battle, it was as if she had lost some of her own children.

Jonia could not help but pout, filled with unhappiness.

“Alright, don’t be sad! I will be upgrading your main body today, and it will be just as well!”

Mike looked at Jonia and comforted her with a smile.

Then, he immediately began to upgrade the ancient tree.
