Chapter 1072 - 1007: Leviathan’s Reward—Vortex Gate
Da Fei had just finished his conversation with Saphen when the Shaman Hero eagerly came before Saphen and said, "Madam, to show our War Soul Clan’s sincerity in cooperating with you, we can teach you the method to command slaves on the spot. If you’re interested, we can find a few slaves for a demonstration!"
Saphen was indeed very interested, "Alright, then let’s go to the slaves. This way, please—"
The Shaman Hero said happily, "Madam, you’re too kind!"
Watching their figures move away, Da Fei couldn’t help but smile knowingly. It seemed that the purpose of promoting friendliness between these two forces was sure to be achieved. Time for me to get moving.
At this moment, Selvia couldn’t wait and said, "Captain, the new equipment must be for me, right?"
Da Fei laughed in surprise, NPCs are this astute now, what’s the difference between them and a regular player? Da Fei laughed, "Of course, you’ll be the main force for sonic attacks, even though the skill level can’t be improved quickly, at least you should rely on equipment to make up for it!"
With that, Da Fei equipped Selvia with the Ice Song set of four pieces excluding the crown and asked, "By the way, you mentioned earlier that you have a way to use the Ice Song Wings, what exactly is the method?"
Selvia said seriously, "Of course, it’s achieving a higher level of Angel Possession with Elifel. When I possess Elifel, I become a temporary Angel Hero, and when the possession level gets higher, I will surely receive the equipment slots exclusive to angels!"
Da Fei suddenly understood! So that’s it, if an NPC says it works, then it definitely works.
Da Fei and his group returned to the dock. At this time, the Fishman and Lobsterman slave porters on the dock were busily loading and unloading goods.
Next, it’s time to say a few words to Sona. Da Fei instructed Sona, "Miss Sona, we’re about to leave, I’ll hand over the Golden Spearfish and the pirate ship that Miss Catherine just captured to you for trade. As agreed previously, half of the profits are yours, you can also recruit any sailors you find agreeable, I won’t interfere in specific affairs."
Sona nodded, "Understood. The Golden Spearfish is an incredibly fast ship, trading with it will be very pleasant. But if you aren’t around, my personal status might prevent me from entering Ice Song City, making it impossible to trade there."
Da Fei laughed, "No worries, just trade between the Naga Islands’ seas and occasionally check Lighthouse Island City, there might be good wine and weapons selling well there."
Sona: "Understood."
Catherine suddenly spoke, "By the way, I captured over 200 pirate prisoners during this trip and haven’t had the chance to deal with them yet. It’s up to you, Captain."
Da Fei laughed, "Let’s do this, hand all these prisoners to Miss Sona; whether to release them, kill them, or recruit them it’s up to her."
Sona sounded slightly proud and said, "I believe that with my Naga Hero status, some of these people would be willing to submit to me for a better future."
Indeed, a local hero, confident and charismatic, I’m at ease! Da Fei laughed, "Good, that’s best."
Just then, Xiluo limped with his silver leg over, cautiously saying, "Well, Boss, Miss Sona running the trade alone still needs someone talented like me, a human pirate, to help manage—how about I tag along with Miss Sona for now? Otherwise, if Boss takes me back to the Kingdom, you’ll inevitably face trouble with my wanted notice."
Holy, are you afraid I’ll hand you over for merit once I take you back? But what he says makes sense, given I’m pressed for time now, one less trouble is better.
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, you stay to assist Miss Sona, if—if Miss Sona has any inconvenience at the temple, you take over trading fleet management."
Xiluo was overjoyed, "Thank you, Boss—" then he looked troubled and said, "But, I can’t part with the cannon on the Jade Dragon..."
Come on, are you hoping to unload the cannon too? If that’s the case, I might as well leave the Jade Dragon to you, it’s simply too much! Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Fei thought of something, if I leave the fleet to Sona, this local hero, I’d be at ease, maybe I should just leave the Jade Dragon as well? If not, it would be idle once returned anyway, the system couldn’t possibly have the Jade Dragon participate in cross-region battles for Japan, would it?
What the heck, I should just ask about national war rules when I return, couldn’t I use the Nightmare Crystal to teleport back? Back at sea, I couldn’t act, but now I’m in the city, it’s possible, right? Plus, I’m particularly curious about what reward Leviathan would give for my exceeding tribute of two thousand units!
So Da Fei pulled out the Nightmare Crystal and laughed, "Everyone, hang tight, wait for me tonight, let me check the situation first."
Everyone, "Got it."
With a flash of light, Da Fei returned once more to the long-lost Nightmare Space. After days apart, the little island in the Lava Lake had turned into a towering hill, and at the foot of the hill was a fiery stable, which was the Nightmare Troops Barracks that he had assigned Elda to build.
Da Fei was suddenly delighted, the Nightmare Troops Barracks were completed, so could the Volcano Earth Dragon Nest be far behind? Da Fei looked up again at the sky, where a floating island the size of a chessboard had already formed. Countless colorful light fragments mixed with various chess pieces and dolls were flying around the space.
This was probably how things were. Da Fei had no time to look closely due to his tight schedule. As usual, he pulled out the Demon God Wig and put it on, donned his black cloak, transformed, and then left the Nightmare Space, arriving at the long-awaited Divine Punishment City.
The Divine Punishment City Square was still desolate. Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh. They say that professional-level expert players progress rapidly, but here he was, returning from the Eastern World, while no player in the China Region had yet conquered Divine Punishment City. The difference compared to the European Union Zone was like night and day! And with the help of the Japan Zone’s National War squad, who knew to what extent that had boosted the European Union Zone’s progress?
Thinking about this, an unprecedented sense of national crisis surged in Da Fei’s heart. Oh no, he had felt this national crisis back when he was a student and a passionate youth, but later work had kept him too busy to worry. In any case, this further solidified Da Fei’s determination to take action against Japan.
In no mood to chat with familiar NPCs in Divine Punishment City, Da Fei immediately used the teleportation to reach the Elf Kingdom Capital’s World Tree Square Teleportation Array, and then finally one last transmission brought him back to his long-lost hometown, Radiant City.
As the scene changed, Da Fei’s eyes suddenly brightened. The once dark and eerie underground city was now dazzlingly decorated, and he could hear the singing and laughter wafting through the air.
Da Fei rubbed his eyes and finally saw the countless Flower Demons flying in the air. There were so many of them!
At this moment, a group of city advisors, ecstatic, rushed towards Da Fei: "Lord City Lord is back! Lord City Lord is back!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "I know you’ve all worked hard during this time!"
The military advisor couldn’t wait to speak: "Sir, since Lady Anlicia brought back the offerings to Leviathan, Leviathan has completely dispelled its hostility towards us, and our Radiant City has officially been revived! All 124 Flower Demon barracks have begun to steadily produce troops!"
The population advisor exclaimed with joy: "Those aren’t troops, those are the population! As long as our city’s population exceeds ten thousand, we can upgrade the City Hall!"
The cultural consultant immediately called out: "First things first, Lady Heliana is waiting for you to receive Leviathan’s reward!"
Da Fei rejoiced, "Indeed, let’s claim Leviathan’s reward first!"
Under the escort of a group of advisors, Da Fei arrived at the outer wall of Radiant City. At this moment, Leviathan’s mountain-like enormous body was quietly floating on the lake, and the red name above her had finally turned into a friendly green name!
Da Fei suddenly remembered what the Thunder Spear City Lord had said. Could this be the path to becoming a Guardian Divine Beast? A god-level creature that could deal tens of thousands of damage as a Guardian Divine Beast, Da Fei could hardly dare to dream it.
Just then, the long-absent Heliana appeared in her black robes. She smiled and said, "Lord City Lord, you are truly incredible, not only returning faster than planned by several times, but also bringing twice the offerings to the Sea God. Leviathan is very satisfied and happy, and has promised to offer her offspring to you as the city’s Guardian Beast!"
Da Fei was dumbfounded, "Offspring? That egg?" Gosh, a Guardian Beast as an egg! I’ve been happy for nothing.
Heliana smiled, "Of course, don’t underestimate this egg, sir. Although the egg is not large, it contains another space. Leviathan, once hatched, will be unimaginably larger. Although her power cannot reach the level of the parent, she will definitely be extraordinary in existence. With her here, Radiant City won’t have to worry about ordinary external enemies."
Da Fei was slightly satisfied: "Good, very good!"
Heliana smiled: "There’s also a special reward to honor the warrior. Please listen carefully — Leviathan will construct a space portal using divine power, rewarding you with a bidirectional teleportation Vortex Space Gate. The entrance of the Vortex Space Gate will naturally be our Pool of Radiance, and as for the exit, the warrior can choose freely. The offerings you’ve provided are enough to have Leviathan open an exit in any waters of our Main World—"
Hearing this, Da Fei was astonished and incredulous: "Leviathan rewards a Space Gate?"
Heliana smiled: "Exactly! But it has to be in our Main World. Otherworlds or the Netherworld won’t work. This is Leviathan helping you solve the transportation isolation problem of Radiant City!"
Da Fei exclaimed with joy: "Elorin Port? Southern Ocean? North Ocean? North Pole? All possible?"
Heliana smiled: "All possible! In front of Leviathan, there’s no water she can’t reach! However, it’s best if the entrance is in a deserted open sea or the waters of a friendly force."
Goodness gracious! So this is the terrifying power of Leviathan! Da Fei recalled his earlier naive thought of placing the egg in an underground lake to avoid calamity was so laughable! Now, Da Fei only wanted to laugh triumphantly for eternity!
I was fretting about how to get back, but with this, there’s nothing more to say. I’ll directly open the entrance in Ice Song City, and it’ll be like just a step away across the world, haha, wahahaha! (To be continued.
