Chapter 372: Legendary-level Sirens, Building Engineering Facilities
After almost a month of leaving, the various projects of the crown of the ocean have made great progress.
The 7-star building hero fountain has already been completed, covering the entire territory with a buff that increases the chance of hero birth, and only half a month has passed, and the crown of the ocean has immediately given birth to two hero units, although they are both white ordinary level, but it is enough to see the strength of this building.
The temple of Heracleion, a spectacle building, has advanced the progress of the project a lot, reaching about 60%, and the building itself has slowly taken shape, which is a temple building that is tens of meters high and covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, although it is not completely completed, but it can already see its grandeur.
As for the spell tower on the back of the giant tortoise, its prototype can already be seen, the spiral tower-like building stands on the island-like turtle shell, and a large number of arrow towers, spell towers, turrets and even military camps to accommodate troops are built simultaneously, this mobile strategic strike platform like an aircraft carrier will become an important means for the crown of the sea to resist demon invasions in the future.
The first batch of rare resources purchased by Reinhardt with a total of 5 million units of gold coins from the treasury of the Kingdom of Bath has been delivered, and during this time, the crown of the sea has received a total of 1.6 million units of rare resources by selling specialty goods, of which 300,000 units of wine are sold, and the rest are fluorescent mushrooms, ores and other products.
The income from a total of 6.6 million units of rare resources is enough to supplement the resources consumed in the last round of class recruitment, which is not enough to make Ani, who has absorbed the blood of the epic dragon whale, the potential to reach the epic level, but it can make Alice from the inheritance level to the legendary level.
Ji Chen took out the epic potential template of the siren hero Teresa obtained from the 7-star dungeon: Battle of Parnas.
Originally, he also wanted to find another siren at some point in time and use this template to add an epic potential hero to the crown of the ocean, but now that the crisis is approaching, he can't care about the problem of waste and uses it directly on Alice.
Call Alice to you and tell her about it.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Alice looked quite excited, watching her colleagues around her be promoted to higher ranks one by one, but she was still standing still, although she didn't show anything on the surface, but she couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart.
Ji Chen nodded, his mind moved slightly, and the template worked directly.
"Ding~ has used the Siren Hero Teresa's Epic Potential template, and the Siren Hero: Alice's potential has been increased to Epic."
Perhaps using the potential template of Teresa, who was once the lord of the sea kingdom, Alice's whole image has a little more majesty and nobility of the superior, with her already beautiful appearance, as if she is a sacred and inviolable goddess from heaven.
The shackles on the potential cap have been lifted, and Alice's progression conditions on the class tech tree have changed at the same time.
[Siren Hero: Alice (Red Legacy β Orange Legend) requires 2.5 million units of rare resources]
Before, a full 4.5 million units of rare resources were needed, but now only 2.5 million units of rare resources are needed, a direct drop of 2 million, but such a daunting amount of resources can now be easily gathered.
Without hesitation, Ji Chen immediately advanced for Alice.
"Consuming 2,500,000 units of rare resources, Siren Hero: Alice (Legacy Level) is advanced to Legendary Level."
The beam faded away, revealing Alice.
A powerful aura belonging to a legendary-level powerhouse rippled across the crown of the ocean like the ebb and flow of the tide.
The fourth legendary hero of the crown of the ocean was born.
As if in response, there was a powerful aura coming from all over the crown of the sea.
Epic. Legendary. Legacy level. It was like a rainbow of light competing to fill this territory the size of a town.
The elven soldiers and merchants who were stationed here, and who came back to their senses in the picture of the ten thousand dragons flying just now, were all horrified.
Under this powerful aura, the soul was shocked and shaken.
In the underground lizardman world, Tomodo, who seemed to be aware of movement on the ground and was immersed in the study of alchemy equipment, raised his head to look at the ceiling of the workshop.
muttered in a low voice: "This kid, why do his heroes grow up so fast?" Is this also a blessing from the gods? β
The apprentice craftsman next to him raised his head blankly, "Your Excellency Tomodo, what are you talking about?" β
Tomodo frowned, glared at him, blew his beard and scolded, "Keep building your weapons!" It's been so long since I learned the intermediate forging technique of the dwarves, and I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen an apprentice with such poor talent like you! β
"The demons are almost killed, when will you be able to forge weapons and equipment comparable to those produced in the Black Iron Castle!?"
These apprentices of all races, who were much taller than the dwarves, suddenly shrank their necks in fear like ostriches, and continued to dig their heads into the hammers in their hands, and hammered the sword embryos on the anvils on the ground.
The crisp sound of percussion echoed throughout the workshop.
Tomodo's face softened a little when he saw this, although these apprentices were not as talented as they were, they were still diligent, and it was not that they couldn't be taught.
If he had been given a few more years, he would have been able to teach a group of craftsmen who could craft high-quality weapons and equipment, and exchange these weapons and equipment for a large amount of resources to feed the rapid development of the crown of the sea, but the demonic invasion interrupted his plans and thoughts.
Now might be the time to craft some high-end gear for the kid so he can survive this crisis.
Secretly, the legendary dwarven craftsman made up his mind.
"You are thinking about how to forge for yourselves, and tell your lord that I have something to do to retreat for some time, so that he doesn't bother me!"
The apprentices looked at Tomodo, who had left without hesitation, and looked at each other.
The devil is approaching, and everything must be hastened.
On the second day after Ji Chen's return, a series of engineering construction projects were released, including but not limited to the construction of coastal city walls, coastal defense complexes, air defense complexes, underground evacuation passages and other facilities. He's going to make the whole territory into a spiky hedgehog, armed to the teeth.
However, in addition to the basic resources, the materials required for these projects also require a large number of complicated auxiliary materials, which depends on those businessmen.
On the afternoon of the day the project was released, Ji Chen summoned the businessmen who stayed on the island.
Department of Ports and Ships.
A room dedicated to meetings, the dusty Ryan was brought in by a maid, and there were already many merchants waiting in the room, all of whom had come from Reinhardt, the Duchy of Maple Grove and other places to transit or trade.
A stocky merchant he knew well saw Ryan walk in and greeted him with a smile.
"Your Excellency Ryan, you were also invited by His Majesty Ji Chenmian?"
"Yes, I told you to come here as soon as I got off the boat." Ryan looked left and right, "What did His Majesty Ji Chenmian invite us to do here?" β
Humpty Dumpty thought to himself, "Probably something to do with a demonic invasion. β
Demon?
As a well-informed businessman, he had already heard about the demonic invasion, and heard that the ghosts that had been suppressed in the abyss of chaos were about to make a comeback. -
Humpty Dumpty Merchant sighed.
"Hey, after the news came out, business was not very good."
Ryan nodded thoughtfully, since the news came out from the Elven Empire, the most sensitive thing was that the prices of various materials on the mainland were rising, and the business that had good profits in the past could not be done now, so he had to come to the Crescent Islands again to try his luck and see if he could find goods that were easier to sell.
Now it seems that not only he has this idea, but other merchants have it, and the number of merchants he saw here alone is several times more than the last time he came, and many of them are big businessmen!
Those ghost things invade and invade, and they don't get in the way of business until they invade.
"I hope I can get some goods this time, and I won't run in vain."
Ryan secretly felt in his heart, and then heard Humpty Dumpty Merchant exclaim.
"Ji Chenmian is down!"
Ryan was in good spirits for a while, and hurriedly looked over, Ji Chen walked in from outside the door with his hands in his hand, walking in a dragon and tiger step, with extraordinary momentum, and his temperament was as vast and strong as an ocean.
"Your Majesty Ji Chen, good day!"
The merchant in the room suddenly walked over, saluted respectfully and said, and Ryan did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly saluted.
Ever since Ji Chen participated in the meeting of the Guardian Forces in the Elven Silver Moon Holy City, his reputation had spread along with the demonic invasion, and at this time, countless aborigines had discovered that the strength of this Glory Lord of the World had reached an epic level since he had been in this world for less than a year.
What is the concept of epic?
Turning over mountains and seas, turning over hands and clouds.
Even the forces at the level of the kingdom principality are not epic, and those with epic level can only be possessed by those who have a profound background and have been inherited for thousands of years.
For example, the once-prosperous Elven Empire has two epic powerhouses on the surface, and the Dragon Island that exports arms also has two epic powers.
It is enough to illustrate the epic gold content.
Epic powerhouses also have their own areas of expertise, such as the contemporary Elven Empress is known for her unparalleled archery skills, and the arrows she shoots contain the rules of inevitability, and the only time she becomes a queen to show her strength is to personally lead an army to defeat the polar trolls, only to kill the troll chief with one arrow in front of the battle, causing the troll tribe to quickly collapse and easily win the war.
A dragon powerhouse on Dragon Island who has reached the age of 10,000 can smash a small hill with a single punch, and the dragon's true body can burn mountains and boil the sea with a single breath of dragon's breath.
And this extremely young Glory Lord epic powerhouse, the field he is good at is probably the sea and water.
ββThis was the day after Ji Chen appeared at the meeting, and his information was placed on the table of the major forces.
But what makes these forces feel a little distressed is that there is not much information about it, this Glory Lord seems to rarely do it in front of outsiders, and most of the people who have seen it do it are completely dead, and at present, they only know the ability to set off huge waves, and the Crown of the Territorial Ocean has a high-end army that is not inferior to the Duchy-level forces of the kingdom.
But what made them a little fortunate was that the location of the crown of the ocean happened to be on the offensive route of the demon army led by the Dreadlord Balzana, and Ji Chen, whose strength was biased towards the sea and water, was able to block this demon army for some time, so that they could be fully prepared.
Putting away the thoughts in his head, Rhine hurriedly said, "Ji Chen, good day." β
The title of the epic powerhouse is no longer Your Excellency, but a more respectful Crown.
Ji Chen's expression was calm, but he glanced at Ryan more and recognized him, "Your Excellency Ryan, just got off the boat?" β
Ryan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, as soon as I got off the ship, I was told by the port staff that you invited all the merchants to come, so I didn't have time to change my clothes." β
"It's okay, I invite you here this time, and I need your help with something."
Seeing that the eyes of the other merchants were all attracted to him, Ji Chen was not verbose, and cut directly to the point, "You should have heard the news of the demon's imminent invasion. β
The merchant nodded, "We already know." β
"Very good, I'll get straight to the point, the location of the Ocean Crown and the Crescent Islands is on the path of the demon's attack led by the Dreadlord Balzana, which means that this place will withstand a frontal attack from the demon army."
"To buy more time for the orderly forces in the Northern Continent, I will release a series of engineering construction projects to resist the demonic attack, but time is pressing, and you need to rely on your strength in terms of materials."
Hearing this, the businessmen's eyes suddenly lit up, and they smelled a strong business opportunity.
Ji Chen looked at the businessmen with different faces, and continued: "If there is any problem, you can say it directly. β
Soon, a businessman raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty Ji Chenmian, can I ask if all the engineering materials can be handed over to us?" β
"That's right, I plan to build a strong and tall enough wall around the island, in addition to a large amount of stones, I also need to build arrow towers, turrets, etc., these facilities and ordnance need the energy core, special materials are handed over to you."
The businessman's face was happy, thinking that he might be in the business of energy cores.
After Ji Chen answered a few questions, he thought about leaving the follow-up questions to Willus, but he saw the merchant named Ryan raise his hand, and after thinking about it, he still answered the last question.
"Lord Lane, what do you want to ask?"
Ryan was flattered and said, "Your Majesty Ji Chen, apart from these, do you need architectural drawings?" I've purchased a batch of offensive defense building blueprints such as arrow towers. β
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, "Of course, as long as the quality is good, I will have as much as you want." β
The use of architectural drawings is a faster means than direct construction, and the time required to use architectural drawings is a fraction or even one hundredth of ordinary construction, which is a good choice for the crown of the ocean that needs the most time.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Ryan was overjoyed, this was indeed his blessed land, and he immediately sold what he brought.
Ji Chen handed over this place to Willus, who had rushed over, and he had more important things to do.
