As soon as Ian returned to the World of Wonders, he examined his attributes.
What drew his attention was the mastery of the Lord profession…
All his efforts in the past two days gave him only this very tiny percentage… and if it weren’t for the reward from subduing the White Tiger, he would barely have gained any mastery at all.
Not to mention that he was a Lord… although his goal was being a Lord, it was a million times more branching than General Chris. If Chris’s path was difficult, then how would Ian’s be…
Chris’s only problem was that his paths were somewhat branching and possibly contradictory, unlike Ian’s, but Ian’s difficulty was far greater.
Raaaaaaaaaaaaaar…
The sun shone as a powerful tiger roar echoed.
The White Tiger came leaping happily toward Ian, its wounds fully healed.
“This fast?” Ian was surprised. “Looks like the Blood Seed of the Beast is incredible.” Ian thought as he checked the White Tiger’s attributes.
White Tiger

Starting from Level 1, training would no longer be measured by percentage, but by nine stages… each stage granting a small boost in strength… and when breaking through to the next level, the boost would be greater than all nine previous stages combined…

The White Tiger had benefited greatly… but what caught Ian’s attention more was the bloodline…
He didn’t understand it, as he only had common information… he also couldn’t read much because he was busy here… he had to return to supervise everything and oversee the village…
Even so, there was definitely something special about it, especially since the aura around the White Tiger was sharper than before…
If we assumed previously that he was an infant, then now he is a young man in the prime of youth with great strength.
Ian played smiling as he looked around.
“Greet the lord,” Yora came and bowed.
“Stand,” Ian ordered her with his hand on the White Tiger. “Tell me.”
“To inform the lord… first, the wood has been cut as the lord ordered and placed in the locations you pointed at,” Yora pointed forward.
The wood had been cut and placed into what resembled small scattered walls throughout the entire village.
“We are still not finished yet, but it will only take about 10 more hours or so,” Yora said.
Ian looked toward the five Goblin workers and said, “Make it a day… don’t be harsh on them.”
Yora nodded respectfully, her eyes shining with astonishment. “Second… the White Tiger has been healed as the lord noticed… the third is the garden… Porto returned indeed a short while ago with a set of common healing herbs and they are growing now… and the other thing is that the garden has grown from many berry shrubs and also a variety of vegetables.”
“Good,” Ian praised.
“Researcher Aliano is doing a good job, but… the main research will still take some time (Training Skill) and…” Yora took out some Job Change Runes.
Blacksmith
Builder
Farmer
“Good,” Ian nodded and learned the three Professions.
“Lord!!!” Yora was astonished.
“The Lord Profession allows me to learn all professions in existence,” Ian smiled.
“Th… the lord… I don’t mean that. I’m talking about??” She didn’t know how to say it… but it was clear…
Ian laughed. “I am the master of this place, its son, and its owner… I have to do my work as well.” Then he pointed to one of the Goblins. “Start a big fire… as big as you can.”
The Goblin nodded and left in a hurry.
“My lord…” Yora tried to speak.
“Continue,” Ian said as he calculated the time for hatching the new batch.
Yora’s respect deepened and she said, “Border sweeping is running smoothly, and we discovered three issues at the borders.”
“What are they?” Ian asked seriously.
“First… there is a strange lake in this area… along the eastern stretch of the village, approximately a mile and a half away from us.” Yora took out the hand-drawn village map and pointed at one of the red dots on it.
“What’s strange about it?”
“The lake is beautiful and clear, and it is very deep according to Boban’s descriptions… what is strange about it is that it contains many fierce and strong fish. Boban noticed that there was almost a shark.
“All this in a lake?” Ian frowned.
“The lake stretches for nearly 500 square meters, yet its depth cannot be measured… Boban descended and came back terrified within moments,” Yora said seriously.
“The second,” Ian said with a frown.
“Here, my lord… the remains of a destroyed village… General Chris observed it himself and found a large number of skeletons there… there was even a General there… with strength not less than the Bandit Leader,” Yora said with a frown.
“And the last?” Ian asked, looking at the largest red mark on the map.
“An Orc valley,” Yora said anxiously. “I don’t know the details yet… Porto didn’t dare go alone there… so I sent Liu with him hoping they could obtain any information for us… but they haven’t returned yet… the information we have so far is that in their entire domain there are many strong Orc patrols riding those fierce black wolves… their strength, according to the description… all of them are at Level One.”
Level One… all of them…
Ian frowned and fell silent.
“My lord… the fire has been lit,” the Goblin came to Ian and bowed.
Ian nodded and said, “Tell the lumber workers to stop cutting for a while to rest… and have the cook prepare a hearty meal… don’t starve the people, Yora.”
Yora nodded. “As you command.”
As for Ian, he walked toward the strong fire and stood before it.
The fire was intense to the point he could feel its heat from several meters away, yet he still approached.
He reached it and placed a large metal pot, putting ten Common Swords inside until they melted. Then he began roaming the village in search of a large stone until he found one, and when he returned the metal had nearly melted…
Ian drew a hammer shape on the ground, poured the melted metal into it, waited until it cooled, then poured water on it and began striking it with the stone until it finally took shape as a shiny Blacksmith Hammer in his hands.
