As Albedo approached, she directly took out the World Item, Hells Abyss.
The floating black short wand instantly transformed into a black battle-axe.
"Master, this magical creature dares to be disrespectful to you. I shall eliminate it at once!"
The battle-axe hovered above Susu's head.
If Draco so much as nodded, Albedo would absolutely strike with her axe to resolve this potential threat.
The terrifying pressure forced Susu to tremble uncontrollably.
Her two small hands tightly hugged Draco's head.
"Ma—Master, Susu is scared..."
"Ahem, Albedo, don't get so excited. Put your weapon away first."
Draco hurriedly stopped her.
"As you command!" Albedo reluctantly withdrew her battle-axe.
However, her gaze remained somewhat malicious.
Susu was badly frightened and avoided Albedo's eyes.
"Alright, don't scare her."
"Her name is Susu, and she's a new member of Nazarick. You two should get along."
"Understood, Master."
Afterward, Draco had the summoned beasts behind him stand by, and the three of them walked toward the depths of the mountains.
According to Draco's vision, establishing Nazarick within the hidden mountains was a good choice.
With the mountains at their back, it would be easy to defend and hard to attack.
The plains could be used for farming or grazing, making them a food production base.
If a nation were to be built in the future, it could also be constructed on the plains.
Simply perfect.
Under Albedo's guidance, the three arrived at a valley within the mountain range.
The valley was surrounded by towering rock walls on three sides, with only an opening to the north for entry.
The space inside wasn't particularly large, roughly the size of two football fields.
However, it was more than enough to build the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
After all, only the entrance to the tomb needed to be on the surface.
Nazarick consists of ten floors, all of which are underground.
That's just the nature of a tomb, after all.
By this time, the valley had already been cleared out by Albedo. Draco didn't waste any words and immediately began setting up the magic circle.
One of the effects of his unique skill 'Summoner' was 'Territory Summoning'.
Draco prepared to summon Nazarick directly.
However, this summoning circle required a large amount of precious materials.
Fortunately, Draco had ransacked the treasury of the Kingdom of Falmuth.
As the wealthiest kingdom among the Western Nations, the treasury contained quite a lot of good things.
For instance, the red silk dress Susu was wearing.
As well as the sapphire necklace, earrings, and bracelets around her neck and wrists... all of them were priceless treasures.
Draco kept himself busy within the valley.
Albedo stared at Susu, who was standing beside her, with an unfriendly gaze.
When she saw the gorgeous jewelry on her, especially the violet ring on her finger, an ominous feeling rose in her heart.
"Hey! You little shorty, where did you get those pieces of jewelry!"
As if she had become a different person, Albedo growled fiercely at Susu.
"They... they were given to me by... Master..."
Susu replied weakly.
Boom!
As if struck by lightning, Albedo was instantly petrified.
"Master... gave her... a ring..."
In an instant, she became completely emo.
Draco, busy in the valley, had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
All of his focus was currently concentrated on the summoning.
A short while later.
Draco finished inscribing a massive nine-pointed star magic circle.
Densely packed magic lines intertwined with each other, and a large number of magic crystals were placed at the nodes of the magic circle.
A vast amount of materials, including magic steel blocks, ores, and magic cores, were piled up at designated spots.
Dusting off his hands, Draco had consumed almost all of his savings.
Finally, it was done.
Seeing the magic circle complete, Draco breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"Alright, now I just need a massive amount of energy to activate it."
"As for massive energy, what should I use instead..."
Draco pondered, stroking his chin.
Although he had nearly 400,000 MP (increased after leveling up), it was a bit insufficient to summon an existence like Nazarick.
He would need energy at the level of an Awakened Demon Lord at the very least.
Seeing Draco frowning as if he had something on his mind, Albedo stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"If there are any difficulties, you must tell me. I will definitely do my best to help you."
"Even if it's something like having children, that's no problem at all~"
Albedo said with a look of infatuation.
"Uh... we'll talk about that later."
"Speaking of which, Albedo, is your mount level Lv100?"
Draco suddenly thought of something very important.
"Yes, it is indeed Lv100. If you need it, I will summon it right now."
Saying that, Albedo immediately cast an incantation, and a gate of light appeared in front of her.
A Bicorn Lord stepped out from within.
After Draco checked through the system, it was indeed a max-level existence.
"Albedo, since you can't ride this mount anyway, how about letting it make a contribution?"
Because Draco had changed Albedo's settings, the Bicorn Lord could not be ridden by a pure person.
This meant the mount was essentially useless.
But as a Lv100 existence, the energy within its body was still quite massive, making it perfect to serve as the fuel for the summoning circle.
"Of course, no problem. As long as Master needs it, any request is fine."
Her eyes were full of little stars, seemingly exceptionally excited because she could help her master.
"Hmm... but it is your mount after all. As compensation, I can grant you one request."
"Really!?"
Albedo's previously excited gaze turned directly into one of fanaticism.
"Uh, yeah!"
Seeing Albedo's gaze, which looked as if she wanted to devour him, Draco immediately regretted saying those words.
Looking at her expectant eyes, Draco really couldn't take his words back.
"Well, o-of course it's true."
Then, Albedo blushed and shyly voiced her request.
"Um, I want..."
"A r-ring..."
Albedo's voice was as tiny as a mosquito's buzz.
But it clearly reached Draco's ears.
Glancing at Susu, who was tilting her head and watching their conversation, Draco understood.
"I see."
