Chapter 317: Elesia's Enlightenment
Ji Chen nodded, didn't rush to untie the map, and continued to pick out the second item after putting it in his backpack.
A piece of rare and precious objects from the outside world are placed on the shelves, and any one is worth a thousand gold, and there are at least hundreds of pieces here, which is enough to see the heritage of an aboriginal family that has been inherited for thousands of years, not to mention those aboriginal forces that have been inherited for tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
This made him more and more interested in the greatest reward of the war, the tenth of the wealth of the treasury of the Kingdom of Bath.
If nothing else, there must have been a lot of gold in it, enough for him to be full.
In the end, Ji Chen picked out a rare architectural drawing.
【Architectural Drawing: Fountain of Heroes】
[Rating]: 7 stars
[Effect]: Increases the chance of spawning hero units in the territory
2. Slowly increase the life potential of the people in the territory
Talent is always a valuable resource, which can greatly promote the development of the territory.
The girl Laisha created the brewing industry of the crown of the sea, and the internal affairs officer Willus allowed him to put aside the complicated affairs of the territory and coordinate resources and construction with great efficiency. The orc hero Yin Ona creates potions that reduce the mortality rate of the lords. Alice, Anina and other battle heroes accompanied him in the north and south, killing countless enemies...... This is enough to see the great role of the hero unit.
The Class Tech Tree can increase a hero's rank, but it can't conjure a hero out of thin air.
The Fountain of Heroes increases the chance of hero units spawning, which is of great significance to the Crown of the Sea.
Julius saw that Ji Chen had selected this architectural drawing, and his face showed an expression that you guys really knew the goods.
In terms of rarity, this Hero Fountain blueprint is enough to rank in the top five here.
……
Following.
Ji Chen received the news sent by Julius that two fleets of thousands of elves had arrived in Trins City, which also meant that they were about to embark on their way back.
After just a short stay to replenish fuel and supplies, the fleet set sail again with Ji Chen and his party.
Before leaving, Monica, the little girl, was still full of reluctance, but she also knew that Ji Chen still had a lot of things to do next, the residents of the crown of the ocean needed him more than her, and it was impossible to stay here forever, so she could only suppress the reluctance in her heart, and waved goodbye to Ji Chen on the side of the ship with a smile.
With the loud whistle of the ships, the fleet slowly moved away from the mainland, gradually losing sight of the land.
Ji Chen stood at the bow of the boat, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, and his heart was full of happy emotions.
This trip to Inhardt has gained more than he had imagined, not only avenging the previous Bath Kingdom, but also gaining a lot of wealth on this basis, and increasing his own strength exponentially.
It's like Qin Shi Huang touching the wires - winning hemp!
As if he remembered something, Ji Chen opened his backpack and looked at the eight-figure gold coin balance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a pleasant arc.
This was only a fraction of the tenths of the wealth of the kingdom of Bath, which Julius had promised.
Although the kingdom of Bath almost consumed more than eighty percent of the gold coins in the treasury in order to start a war, the remaining two percent is still a huge amount of wealth, as many as billions of gold coins, so one-tenth is hundreds of millions of gold coins.
To be more precise, it is 698,680,000 gold coins, nearly 700 million gold coins.
Literally, it's definitely a surprising number.
For this wealth, Ji Chen only took a small part of it, and the rest entrusted Julius to help exchange it all and buy rare resources before leaving.
He is not a dragon who likes to sleep in the mountain of gold coins, and the gold coins themselves have little meaning to him, and they can only be better used by transforming them into various resources.
This nearly 700 million gold coins are expected to bring him a considerable amount of tens of millions of units of rare resources.
The fleet sailed southeast for several days at sea, gradually heading towards the middle of the central ocean to the west.
On this day, Grand Elder Margaery of Yougu Village found Ji Chen.
I saw that this old elf, who was at least a thousand years old, had a somewhat anxious face, and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, why don't we go directly to the Principality of Fenglin along the coastline of the Northern Continent, but instead go around in a big circle?"
Ji Chen looked at Margaery's somewhat impatient appearance, and he could somewhat understand her mood.
Isolated from the world by hundreds of thousands, and separated from the main race for too long, the mood for seeing the outside world is naturally very urgent.
Ji Chen smiled and comforted: "Your Excellency Margaery, it's not that I want to go around in a big circle, it's that I have to go around in a big circle. ”
As he spoke, he took out a map and pointed to a narrow stretch of sea between the northwest and northeast of the West Ocean stretching from the coast of the northwest continent to the center.
"This narrow sea area is a forbidden area for life, known as the Dead Sea, where the gods fought hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it is rumored that there were gods who fell there."
"To this day, the remnants of divine power are still raging there, shrouded in storms all the time, and the stormy seas make it unsuitable for safe navigation, for your safety, I can only let the fleet bypass."
Margaery suddenly realized, and her face was a little apologetic, "I see, I misunderstood you." ”
Ji Chen waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, my plan is to go around and arrive in my territory for a while to rest and replenish for a while, and then go to the Maple Forest Principality." ”
Judging from the map, this narrow sea area spans hundreds of kilometers, directly separating the eastern shore of the North Continent where the Maple Grove Principality and the Elven Empire are located, and the northwest coast of the North Continent, where the four kingdoms of Lyinhardt and the Kingdom of Bath are located.
This made countless merchant ships across the middle ocean trade have to detour, and the merchant ships trading in the east and west of the northern part of the western ocean have to travel southeast or southwest first, bypassing the southernmost point of the Dead Sea and then continuing to drive normally, which forms an extremely prosperous route in the sea south of the Dead Sea, which can be called the lifeline of trade
The storm area where the crown of the ocean is located is located at a key node south of this route.
The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Bath have expressed great covetousness and enthusiasm for this place, and this is exactly why.
Build a supply point here, and countless merchant ships will anchor here to rest and replenish, and directly send a lot of gold coins to the door.
After four days on the ocean, the fleet finally returned to the Crescent Islands.
When Ji Chen saw the appearance of the crown of the ocean, his expression was a little stunned.
In just a month's time, a thriving township was unfolded on top of the small aboriginal towns, with eight streets large enough for four carriages to pass side by side, centered on the castle of the lord and extending in eight directions, flanked by buildings that had already been built or were being built on a large scale.
The regular stone-paved road connects the other important areas, the port to the east and the agricultural area to the west, and the road to the north runs directly through the jungle, connecting the kobold caves, several jungle plantations and vineyards on the hillside.
Such a well-planned city construction is obviously indispensable to Willus.
As soon as Ji Chen returned, Willus came to report on the situation of the territory for this month.
The area under seawater rice cultivation has expanded several times, and it can provide a normal diet for tens of thousands of human residents. Plantation grapes grow quickly, and the first grapes are soon harvested for winemaking and so on.
Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
Willus reported truthfully.
"Lord Lord, during the period of your absence, the territory has exported a total of fifty-two ships of various specialties to the Principality of Fenglin and the elves, with a total income of 350,000 units of rare resources."
350,000 units of rare resources?
Ji Chen is not surprised, this number is not much different from his previous estimate, now the main output products of the crown of the ocean are deep-sea Jiao silk, lizardmen piled weapons and equipment, specialty coffee beans and precious jungle wood, etc., with the further expansion of production capacity in the future, the quality is further improved, and the export benefits will also rise.
And now there are two ace industries in the territory, wine and dwarven weapons, which have not yet been developed, and this will also be the product of two daily gold in the future.
The future is promising.
"My lord, Lord Tomodo said that you should take a trip to the underground lizardman world when you return, and he said that he has already made the third blueprint of the alchemy weapon, as well as the alchemy ship that can operate underwater."
Willus continued.
Ji Chen nodded in surprise slightly, he didn't expect that after going out, Tomodo would really make up what he had described before, and he was really worthy of being a legendary-level dwarf blacksmith.
"I see, I'll find a time to go."
Ji Chen casually took out the blueprint of the Hero Fountain, "Coordinating resources and manpower to build it is very important for the territory." ”
Willus took it respectfully, and his face was pleased when he saw the drawings.
This is a good thing, it increases the chance of a hero unit being born. If you can have a few more internal affairs heroes, then you can deal with the increasingly busy territory affairs, and I heard that the adults also obtained a piece of land from the mainland to the Principality of Inhardt, where there is also a need for internal affairs heroes.
"Yes, I'll start work as soon as possible."
After listening to Velus's report, Ji Chen took some things that needed to be decided by him personally, and then took Elesia and left the lord's castle.
The elves of the valley village have been arranged into the house dedicated to receiving guests, these elves who have lived in the ice field since childhood are very surprised and happy by the beautiful environment of the Crescent Islands, and with the permission of Ji Chen, they have formed a team to go out to play, and there are a lot of silver bells and laughter of the elves on the island.
Elesia, an elven hero who had lost her memory, followed Ji Chen, her eyes full of curiosity as she looked at the place where she would live in the future.
"Brother, are we going to live here in the future?"
"That's right, this is my territory, and Ellethea will make this place your home from now on."
Ellethea nodded submissively, "This will be my home from now on!" ”
Ji Chen thought about it, opened the class technology tree, and turned to the page of Elesia.
【Elesia】
[This hero has the blood of the ancient elves and has strong potential, but it is currently in a sealed state, and the level stays at the red inheritance level]
[Sufficient resources are required to break the seal]
[Resources Required]: 5,000,000 units of crystal, 5,000,000 units of Mithril, 5,000,000 units of Adamantite
To break the seal of Elesia, it took a full 15 million unit resources, which was even millions more than Alice's promotion to the legendary level, which was enough to see how powerful this ancient elf bloodline was.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen asked in a relaxed tone.
"Elethia, do you want to manage the housekeeping, or do you want to be a combatant?"
Without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, Elesia said in an affirmative tone, "I want to be a warrior. ”
"Can you tell me why?"
"Because I want to protect you, brother." Elesia's obsidian-like dark eyes looked at Ji Chen tightly, "If you don't fight, then brother, Sister Alice, and Sister Anina will have to be distracted to protect me, I don't want you to worry about me, and I don't want to be a burden to you." ”
Ji Chen was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be this reason.
"Even though Sister Alice said I forgot a lot of things, I couldn't remember even if she told me."
"But there is one thing I still remember, it was my brother who saved me at that time, otherwise I would have died long ago, or I would have been left to fend for myself in the ice crevices." Theresia's eyes were full of seriousness, "I want to do something for my brother." ”
There was one thing in the blank sheet of Elesia's mind that she had never forgotten, and that was the warmth of the ill-fitting coat in the cold.
It was something she would never forget.
Ji Chen was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Elithia laughed, her eyes narrowing into a crescent moon.
Ji Chen touched her little head and said with a smile: "Since Elethea wants to be a warrior, then I will entrust an elf who is good at fighting to teach you." ”
…
Elf Ruolin looked at Elesia, who was hiding behind Ji Chen and looked at her curiously, with a little puzzled on her cold face.
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, you said that you asked me to teach Elesia to fight?"
"That's right."
Ruolin's face suddenly appeared with a look of are you kidding me.
When Elesia became the strongest elven warrior in Vale Village and had high hopes for all elves, she was still practicing her introductory archery skills, and asked her to teach an elven hero, was it a little too much to look up to her?
Ji Chen coughed lightly, "Actually, after Elesia lost her memory, perhaps because she had fallen into madness for a long time, she seemed to have forgotten her previous combat and archery skills. ”
"And I don't happen to have a mentor in my territory who is good at archery, so I can only ask you."
Ruolin suddenly realized, and looked at a trace of pity in Elesia's eyes, and did not hesitate.
"That's fine, I'll do my best to teach Ellethea in the limited few days before I leave."
Two days later.
Elesia jumped and shifted between the trees at high speed, but quickly raised the bow in her hand, and pinched her right hand, and a crimson elemental arrow suddenly appeared.
"Burst Arrow."
With a cold expression on his face, he thought lightly in his mouth, and let go of his right hand that was pinching the arrow.
The red arrows with blazing heat disappeared with a red trail, and a large tree in the open space two hundred meters away suddenly burst open as if it had been hit by a cannonball, and sawdust and sparks flew in the sky, leaving only a large crater on the ground.
"Good arrows!" Ji Chen clapped his palms and stepped forward, praising with a smile.
Elesia's cold expression quickly melted, and she jumped down from the tree with some embarrassment, "Hehe..."
Ruolin looked at Elesia with admiration on her face.
He sighed.
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I don't think I'll teach Elesia anything."
Elesia's performance in the past two days has given her a glimpse of what talent is and what heroic potential is.
In just time, Ruolin had already discovered that she had nothing left to teach Elesia, and that all the fighting techniques Elesia could master in a very short period of time, and use them more skillfully and precisely than her.
These fighting skills have not been completely forgotten by Elesia, but are hidden deep in the body and soul, and they are only revived at this time.
And Elesia, who has been promoted to the Red Inheritance level, will only become more powerful than before.
