Chapter 866 - 818: Final Acceptance and Gru Inheritance
When the matter of the Flying Ship’s return was mentioned, Da Fei felt a headache immediately.
Back in the day, the two epic quests, Purifying the Pool of Radiance and Fist to the Demon Kindergarten, were issued together. As a result, the Demon Kindergarten quest was completed early, but the Pool of Radiance triggered a national war resulting in both sides being heavily damaged and the World Tree falling into a slumber, leaving the Flying Ship stranded in shallow waters.
Da Fei of course wished that the Flying Ship could be teleported out sooner. But the problem is, now the Flying Ship has become an important means of transportation connecting the Vine Demon Space and Habbit Village, how can there be no Flying Ship? Not to mention, the surrounding of the Pool of Radiance also requires the Flying Ship to be teleported there for clearing.
Besides, this time going to the Eastern World was initially planned to do with the Radiant Wings, there’s no necessity to specifically teleport the Flying Ship, right?
Just as Da Fei was troubled, Anlicia sighed: "Actually, I knew the Lord City Lord was in a dilemma, so I made another plan, which is to open Lumang Tribe’s tribal development, namely fundraising from the Kingdom to build a teleportation array, to solve our dependency on the Flying Ship."
Da Fei was surprised and said: "Lumang Tribe to build a teleportation array? Military one?"
Anlicia nodded: "Indeed. Though normally, the consumption of a military teleportation array is enormous. But it’s different when using the World Tree as the carrier, teleportation within the World Tree Space is like nutrients being transported along the roots to the leaves, through special spatial channels, this is fundamentally different from the Demon Race and Divine Race’s teleportation rules. All in all, as long as the teleportation is within the awakened World Tree Space, our military supply delivery capacity will not be much inferior to the Demons."
Da Fei nodded: "Oh, so that’s how it is! Well, let’s open it up completely!" After all, the Lumang Tribe will soon become my subordinate village, players coming for development are all working for me, the more, the merrier.
Anlicia continued: "Besides, I also talked to Miss Heliana, the Sea Priestess, with the World Tree awakening and the barriers continuously restoring, the Leviathan stimulated by the barriers might have some unpredictable moves. So to play it safe, my personal suggestion — is to evade the risk for now."
Oh, I see! Indeed, when Radiant City was on the brink of danger, whether to save the ship or the city, there was no need for a choice!
Da Fei no longer hesitated: "Alright! Then let’s teleport the Flying Ship away!"
Anlicia sighed and shook her head: "Actually, if our Flying Ship could instantly supply the teleportation array with millions of Mana, it could go anywhere and come back anywhere without relying on the Kingdom’s Mage Group."
Da Fei raised his eyebrows: "Millions of Mana? Our Charging Crystals combined can only supply less than a hundred thousand Mana, right?"
Anlicia chuckled: "That’s the gap at present."
At this moment, Tamilia spoke up: "The Lord City Lord need not worry, as the Holy Vine gradually absorbs the nutrients from the Hydra, our Flying Ship will have enough energy, global teleportation will not be a dream!"
Global teleportation? I like it! Da Fei asked joyfully: "Then when can we reach that level?"
Tamilia smiled: "Hard to say, but I can currently tell you good news, since my promotion to a hero, my strength has grown significantly, and I’ve expanded a space of 1000 units separated from the Hydra space in the cabin, enabling the Flying Ship to carry the Nasir Ancient Tree into battle!"
Wow! Last time, the Hydra occupied the space of the Holy Vine forcing me to figuratively rear the Nasir Ancient Tree in the wild, now my dream of a ship-borne landing tank has finally come true! A building creature with 60,000 health points, you lesser beings should tremble! Da Fei rejoiced and said: "Great! I heard there are many islands in the Eastern World, we will take Nasir over and primarily focus on landing battles!"
Anlicia smiled: "And there’s more good news, we have placed the Divine Artifact Earth Dragon Heart from the barracks, into the Ancient Tree Heart of the Nasir Ancient Tree, imagine the powerful propulsion it gives!"
Da Fei exclaimed: "Can the Divine Artifact be used this way?"
(Note: — Earth Dragon Heart: large Divine Artifact, mechanical device, cannot be carried. The heart of a petrified Earth Dragon absorbing earth’s power long term, this heart has never-ceasing powerful propulsion.)
Tamilia smiled: "Indeed, during your absence, the blacksmith hinted at the application of this mechanical Divine Artifact, suggesting it could be used in certain factory equipment, so I immediately thought of trying it with the Nasir Ancient Tree’s heart. Surely, it works, doubling Nasir’s Stamina, improving recovery speed, and most importantly, this Earth Dragon Heart can absorb energy from the ground, partially recovering Nasir’s Durability, which also mitigates the downside of Nasir Ancient Tree being a Resentful Spirit unable to restore life through normal Druid Healing Skills."
Da Fei was overjoyed: "Not bad! In the Eastern World, there are not as many demons to feed and restore Stamina, truly making the most of resources, you have done well!"
Tamilia smiled: "However, please note, the Earth Dragon Heart can only increase Nasir Ancient Tree’s Stamina and recover Durability when standing on the ground, it does not work on the ship. Of course, when Nasir is crossing a river, as long as its feet are touching the riverbed, it can."
Da Fei nodded: "Understood!"
As they spoke, the city teleportation array flashed with light, and the Economic Advisor, Internal Affairs Advisor along with a group of officials from the Elf Kingdom appeared through the teleportation.
"Here they come! The Kingdom’s ministers!" Anlicia immediately adjusted her collar: "Lord City Lord, please go up ahead and do not neglect them."
Wow! Minister level! The rewards better be big! Da Fei also tidied his clothes and moved forward under the escort of the advisors to greet them. Then immediately spotted a familiar face in the crowd, the same observer who stood ready to strip me of my office during the Demon Army’s siege of Radiant City!
At this moment, Anlicia promptly greeted them sweetly: "Welcome, esteemed lords, for the inspection!"
Da Fei immediately echoed: "Greetings, esteemed lords!"
The elegantly dressed minister nodded: "Greetings, warrior!"
The observer immediately said, "Ladies and gentlemen, due to the situation with the Leviathan, please do not conduct on-site inspections. Stay here and listen to my report. I’ve been continuously monitoring Radiant City’s situation from the beginning of construction to its completion. The city’s attributes are as follows—"
After saying this, the property list of Radiant City automatically popped up before Da Fei’s eyes:

...
Looking at the long-lost city attributes, Da Fei couldn’t help but widen his eyes! Damn, finally appeasing the Leviathan, the Great Wall by the lake is officially designated as my city territory! In this way, the 124 Flower Demon barracks in my lake are also officially counted in the city level! Well, since this is an acceptance inspection, the better the city, the higher the rewards, right? Let’s wait and see!
At this moment, looking at the city’s attributes, a group of officials nodded approvingly and said, "An outstanding achievement!"
Da Fei was delighted, and Anlicia immediately smiled and said, "You flatter us, gentlemen."
The leading minister nodded with satisfaction, "Although there are deficiencies in various indicators, the most important one, the purification and sanitation work, is well done, and that is enough. Not to mention a city built in just six months has achieved such a high level and area. The completion is extraordinary! I think this should be an S+ completion level."
The officials applauded, "Well said, sir!"
The minister clapped, and a secretary took out a shining golden box and approached, the minister personally handed the box to Da Fei with a smile, and said, "Warrior, we now officially acknowledge your city-building acceptance, thank you for your hard work and effort during this period. We hope you will continue to strive and fight together for the justice of the Bright Alliance!"
Da Fei quickly said, "Thank you for your praise, sir, I will work even harder!"
—System Prompt: You have completed the "Lake Fortress Construction" task, officially receiving the appointment as the Lord of Radiant City. You have become the recognized lord of Radiant City by the Elf Kingdom. Your world reputation +1000, your Bright Alliance reputation +30,000, your Command Power +1000, tactical position +1, you have received a reward of 1000 Command Value troops from the Elf Kingdom (limited to regular army forms of 1-4 level soldiers).
—System Prompt: You have completed the Epic Quest "Purify the Pool of Radiance," gaining an experience reward of +10 million, gaining 10 Great Life Books, and gaining 10 Skill Books.
...
Looking at this meager two-line reward prompt, Da Fei was stunned and didn’t react for a moment! After all, compared to the system bombardment of rewards he experienced in the past day, these rewards were not exciting at all?
At this moment, the minister spoke again, "Of course, these are the basic rewards for the warrior. Completing the city-building task with an S+ completion level must come with extra rewards. According to Mayor Erinro’s recommendation, the warrior hoped for Gru’s Hero Legacy. Now, I solemnly announce that the warrior has this qualification. At the same time, the warrior can also obtain the baron title of the kingdom, please choose between the two."
—System Prompt: You have received an additional reward of 1 million city funds, and "Gru’s Hero Legacy" or "Elf Kingdom Baron Title," please make a choice?
Da Fei was stunned again! No way, the things I’ve been waiting for so long are being rewarded to me in such a lukewarm manner by these few people?
Alright then, I don’t understand the title thing, hurry and give me the troublesome Gru Inheritance!
