Chapter 1055 - 991: Hangeval’s Legacy
Da Fei hastily jumped off the ship’s side and came in front of Hangeval, incredulously asking, "Big brother, what happened to you?"
Hangeval laughed heartily, "Brother, when the surrounding Sea Race’s attitude towards us changed to neutral a few days ago, I knew you had returned gloriously! You did not let me wait in vain. Actually, I was going to leave long ago, but I couldn’t let go of the brothers, so I’ve been holding on. Now I have no regrets, come, let’s drink! Let’s drink!"
The dwarves shouted loudly, "Drink! Drink!"
Da Fei was shocked on the spot! Is another hero he knows going to fall? Although he had a premonition long ago, when he really had to face it, Da Fei felt a sudden heavy heartache!
At this moment, the newly organized simple-earth plaza by the pier was already filled with long, simple wooden tables, and on the tables were wine, meat, and food brought by various large guilds.
Then, surrounded enthusiastically by some familiar faces like the long-lost Scar, Copper Hammer, Bazak, Elliot, the stunned Da Fei was invited to sit at the center of the long table.
Hagval laughed heartily towards the ship, "And the beautiful ladies, come join us!"
The long-lost old mage folks cheered loudly, "Elena! Our Miss Elena!"
Elena waved to the old folks with a sweet smile, "Have you all been practicing diligently?"
The old folks responded excitedly, "We have been practicing well, and we’ve successfully taken over these seven Lighthouse Arrays. With us here, no one can rush in!"
Only then did Da Fei snap back to reality, seemingly the old folks’ family-seeking messages hadn’t been completed yet. However, it was too late now. Da Fei looked complexly at Hangeval across him, and Hangeval laughed heartily again, "Brother, my last words were all spoken in prison, so now we drink, drink happily! It’s been years since I drank happily, I want to drink to my heart’s content one last time!"
At this point, Hangeval raised his glass, "Brothers! Cheers!"
The dwarves raised their glasses and shouted, "Cheers!"
Hangeval downed his drink in one gulp, refilled his glass with great vigor, saying, "Brother, all the words are in the wine—cheers!"
Da Fei also drank his in one gulp, "Cheers!"
Hangeval laughed heartily again, "Scar, Copper Hammer, you guys come and toast the new big brother!"
The group with Scar laughed heartily and brought their glasses forward, "Big brother, from now on, we’ll follow you! Cheers!"
New big brother! Da Fei’s heart trembled, he could clearly see tears gleaming in the eyes of these unruly dwarves!
So this is it! Da Fei has played many games and watched many melodramas, and has experienced many farewells involving entrusted orphans in this game, but this time, the feeling in Da Fei’s heart was indescribable!
Then say nothing, all words, everything is in the wine!
One glass, then another! And then another! The dwarves laughed loudly and sang freely, and Da Fei’s vision and sound effects began to blur as if he was drunk on blood wine in the Hellfire River back then. In his drunken delight, Hangeval smiled and fell on the table.
At this moment, though the other dwarves continued their revelry, Scar and Copper Hammer beside Hangeval were deeply moved.
Da Fei knew, Hangeval went, choosing a way that was the happiest and the most unique.
Just then, Scar slowly opened his fist in front of Da Fei; it was a Crystal Stone glowing with Black Light!
Scar solemnly said, "Big brother, this is what the big brother left for you, from those pursuers in the Divine Domain Space. This is the Hero Power absorbed from big brother by the Prince using the Evil Holy Artifact. Big brother could have slowly restored his strength, but considering he didn’t have much time left, he decided to reorganize and leave it for big brother! Unfortunately, the remaining power in the crystal is not much, hope it can give you some help."
Beside him, Copper Hammer also spoke quietly, "Originally, big brother should have given it to you personally, but he didn’t want to make the atmosphere too heavy, he wanted to leave happily!"
Scar continued, "Alright, big brother is resting now, we’ll take him to the arranged resting place. Please continue to entertain the brothers, big brother wants everyone to drink happily!"
——System Prompt: You have obtained the Dwarf Hero Hangeval’s Hero Inheritance Power Crystal! Using this crystal, you will gain 30 Free Skill Points and acquire the Dwarf Hero Professional Skill "Steel Legion"!
——Steel Legion: For every 100 soldiers in the same tactical position, the tactical position units’ Defense increases by 1%, Damage increases by 1%, and for every point Morale is higher than the enemy, Damage increases by 2%.
This is Hangeval’s Inheritance Power, containing a multitude of skill points Da Fei desperately needs now! And having so many skill points made Da Fei feel so burdened.
Watching Scar and Copper Hammer gently support Hangeval down from the seat and leave silently, Da Fei, feeling heavy-hearted, raised his glass and shouted again, "Brothers! Let’s cheers again!"
The whole crowd of dwarves erupted in unprecedented earth-shaking laughter and cheering, "Big brother, cheers!!!"
So, they also knew Big Brother went there! At this moment, Da Fei’s emotions in his eyes are no longer restrained and burst forth!
...
When the center island where Da Fei was shook with booming sounds, players constructing on other islands couldn’t help but discuss in their team channels.
"Look! Look! This is the legendary Brother Fei’s lineup, whether it’s sailing or drinking, it’s always a grand gesture!"
"Exactly, one person equal to a guild! Don’t say he’s the world’s number one amateur player; even if he’s the world’s number one player, no one would object."
"I don’t care much, as long as this project is completed and the guild makes money, just raise our brothers’ salaries."
"Isn’t that obvious? Didn’t you hear even the NPCs are shouting to follow the big brother? How could our boss not be better than NPCs, right?"
"Exactly, and this is a project ahead of its time by Brother Fei; it has to make money!"
"Rest assured, groups, this is a secret and an opportunity for our China Region. As long as the guild makes a fortune, doubling or tripling your salaries is not a problem! So, everyone just pulls a few all-nighters these days and quickly gets the project done!"
"Oh yeah!"
At this moment, watching the team’s chat channel, the Royal Guild leader Royal Dominator finds it difficult to sleep at night, with mixed emotions. He has witnessed Da Fei’s lineup, encountering him in the wild and docking at the harbor are completely different feelings, now in his eyes, Da Fei’s fleet is a sharp knife pulled out, in front of this sharp knife, his guild’s so-called First Fleet is completely vulnerable.
Actually, his fleet couldn’t even beat one of Da Fei’s Vice Heroes. Until now, Da Fei has never personally responded to the provocations from the Royal Guild, and Royal Dominator couldn’t even imagine what the result would be if Da Fei responded personally. Royal Dominator is not afraid to lose but fears losing face and being laughed at as an ant trying to shake a big tree.
So since this time Da Fei voluntarily gave the Royal Guild a share of the Lighthouse Islands, as the president, he definitely has to express something. This opportunity cannot be missed.
Therefore, Royal Dominator sends a message to Skyshattering Thunder: "Arrange for me, I want to meet Da Fei personally at the Lighthouse Islands!"
...
When Scar and Copper Hammer returned, the drinking dwarves present suddenly quieted down consciously. This lineup clearly indicated the feast was about to end.
Scar asked, "Big Brother, any instructions, just let us know."
It seems it’s time to handle business. Da Fei calmed his emotions and said seriously, "Although we’ve obtained neutrality around us now, the Dwarf Prince has remained quiet. But we can’t rule out future changes. We must seize every moment to quickly establish a defense system, whether it’s on the island or underground passages, all kinds of traps you were previously proficient in should be arranged in place. Even if an island temporarily falls, it doesn’t matter, we have many islands, we should make it so even if the enemy takes it, they can’t hold it. Any tools you need can be directly requested from these visiting guild members for tasks."
Indeed, Da Fei was ready to turn against Thunder Spear City Lord. As for the Prince, never should he be unguarded. After all, once an NPC goes on a rampage, even Skyshattering Thunder and the guilds were dragged into it can’t say anything.
Scar nodded repeatedly, "Big Brother is right, we brothers are idle now anyway, we’ll help with the construction in a bit."
Da Fei took out an electric eel egg: "Find a few people who know fish farming, our island needs to be self-sufficient to develop an industry!"
Copper Hammer rejoiced: "As expected from Big Brother, electric eels are one of the most dangerous and hard-to-catch fish species! We need net cages, we need special rubber suits!"
Da Fei responded: "No problem, I’ll get someone to help solve it."
At this moment, a few old Mage men came over: "Lord City Lord, we have taken over the Lighthouse Islands’ Defense Barrier, the current barrier is maintained by the power of the elements after the contract signed by the former Prophet City Lord with the Elemental Lord. Once the contract expires, if we can’t continue to find the Elemental Lord to renew it, we’ll rely on ordinary strategic resources to maintain it. So please prepare more resources, Lord City Lord."
Da Fei nodded: "No problem!"
Overall, as long as it’s money, things, or people needed, large guilds bear them all, nothing is a problem. At this moment, Da Fei profoundly realizes how wise it is to share profits.
However, in case the battle with Thunder Spear City Lord becomes fierce, leaving the people suffering, even turning into an infinite abyss, making the large guild unable to see the gains and voluntarily giving up, Skyshattering Thunder secretly pulling strings for Prince to come over and clean up can’t be ruled out?
That indeed is a problem. But regardless of how many problems there are, you can’t pay much heed, first take care of the tribute.
Da Fei said to the old men again: "Regarding the relatives you mentioned last time, I’ve set up a tavern Intelligence Collection spot in Moradin. I believe we’ll soon have a lead."
The old men sighed: "Time has passed for so long, actually, we’re not hopeful anymore. If they haven’t lived well and are willing to follow Lord City Lord, then please bring them here. Throughout this time, we’ve gradually realized the Eastern World is also a place where one can settle and establish oneself."
So this is their deep intention behind asking Brother to find people, this is adding citizens for Brother!
Da Fei’s spirits lifted: "Alright, I’ll figure out a way to find them and transport them here!" (To be continued.
