Chapter 928 - 875: Nether Sea Pirates Born in Fatalon
At 3:30 in the morning, Da Fei was awakened by the cheers of the entire fleet.
Da Fei looked up and saw a small island enveloped in a blue light shield ahead. A golden beam of light shot up from the island, connecting the sea and sky. It had arrived; this was the Heaven in the Nether Sea, Fatalon.
Just as Death Angel Samiel had said, even under the sunlight, there are death realms, and in the desert, there are oases. Even in the Nether Realm, there is a paradise. In the vast Nether Sea, the scarce light energy, resisted and repelled by the dense death energy, had been concentrated due to the special environmental conditions, forming the present-day Fatalon. To the Undead, Fatalon is akin to an unreachable death realm in the Nether Sea, but to the bewildered pirates, it is undoubtedly a life-giving oasis.
The cheers that awakened Da Fei came from the pirates.
After resting for more than two hours, Da Fei, invigorated, shouted, "We’ve reached our destination, prepare to land!"
The pirates erupted into excited cheers once more. It must be said, although the pirates had not surrendered to Da Fei, he had earned the "admiration" reputation among the Desolate Barbarian Pirates early on by killing crocodiles and developing the Blood Pearl specialty on the Deserted Barbarian Pirate Island. Along with Da Fei’s high world reputation and the recent brilliant victory against the Sea Demon, the pirates were indeed impressed with Da Fei.
This respect for the enemy forces is known as "awe," one of the most difficult reputations to earn in the world. Of course, since there hasn’t been a system prompt yet, it’s likely not far off.
Da Fei was very pleased with the current performance of the pirates and had already made plans for their well-being and development here. Da Fei was distressed about how to explain things to Samiel. He was really just passing by!
Now, Da Fei’s entire fleet lowered their sails and reduced speed to enter the barrier enveloping the small island, revealing a paradise of blooming flowers, clear waters, and spring warmth.
For the first-time visitors Tamilia, Elena, and Deirdre, they couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, while the pirates were even more excited, yelling and crying as they knelt down in worship!
A white-clad Priest radiating a faint golden light appeared on the shore and shouted, "Warriors, welcome! There’s no dock here, so we ask our new guests to anchor offshore and wade to shore!"
"Hoorah!!!" The pirates, unable to hold back any longer, jumped into the water one after another.
Da Fei could only shake his head helplessly. In any case, he would be honest once he got ashore.
Now, the massive fleet uniformly anchored on the shallow shore. After landing, the pirates sat casually on the lawn, forming a large circle of hundreds. Da Fei looked back after landing, realizing that the scale of this fleet was indeed astonishing, comparable to a full naval base squadron.
Not having seen Samiel for a long time, he was evidently captivated by this array, stepping forward with excitement to greet, "Warrior, I imagined you’d be stronger for our second meeting, but to be this powerful in such a short time is truly beyond my expectations! The recent battle performance also surpassed my imagination, and I think it’s time to plan great undertakings!"
——System Prompt: Samiel offers you the Epic Quest "New Pattern of the Nether Sea World." Do you accept?
The inevitable had finally arrived. Da Fei could only reply with resignation, "Well, Lord Samiel, you’re flattering me. I’m not as strong as you perceive; a significant part of the warships in the fleet belongs to that—"
He gestured towards the pirates, indicating, "That man, Yassoro’s! He knew I had urgent matters requiring an immediate journey to the Eastern World, so for certain reasons, he came to intercept me. Reluctantly, I shifted the battlefield to the Nether Sea to claim victory. My intention in coming here is to settle his troops. Ultimately, I have urgent matters in the Eastern World."
Samiel was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, "I mentioned before that mortal lives are finite. I don’t expect mortals to assist me significantly within their lifetimes, but surely helping develop this island is no problem, right? You’ve brought people and ships here; just leave some behind for development, and you can continue with your tasks. I’ve been here for countless thousands of years; waiting a few more years is of no consequence to me."
Da Fei asked with surprise, "So, the task doesn’t have a time limit?"
Samiel laughed, "The first phase is development and construction, seemingly without a time limit. Warriors should act according to their strength. But given your abilities, I believe you wouldn’t be content with just the first phase."
No time constraints! Da Fei relieved his headache, suddenly delighted, then remembered something, "What’s meant by seemingly no time limit?"
Samiel shook his head, laughing, "I won’t impose time constraints on you, but I can’t speak for other forces in the Nether Sea."
So, once work begins, the opposition will react, possibly launching a major attack. But that’s a concern for the future. Once my tasks are completed, I’ll face them head-on.
Da Fei resolved without worry, "Alright, let me lend you a helping hand!"
Samiel smiled, "Then Fatalon will be entirely under your care."
——System Prompt: You accept the Epic Quest "New Pattern of the Nether Sea World." You are appointed as the Lord of Fatalon by Samiel, gaining management and operational rights over Fatalon.
——System Prompt: You commence the first stage of "New Pattern of the Nether Sea World," "Fatalon’s Construction," with objectives: raise Fatalon to a City Level of 200, maintain a sanitation evaluation above 80, and a culture rating above 60.
Da Fei raised an eyebrow in surprise; unsurprisingly, he became a Lord again! Da Fei hurriedly opened the City Lord panel, finding a new addition of Fatalon under his territory list, alongside Radiant City, Lighthouse Islands, and Divine Punishment City.
Da Fei quickly checked the territorial attribute:
——Fatalon: Level 0 city. (Each city building constructed or upgraded raises the city by 1 level. Higher city levels better attract population and talent growth.)
City Lord: Da Fei.
City Officials: None.
Territory Range: Entire Fatalon Island to the barrier region.
——City Population: 0.
——City Funds: 0
——City Resources: 0
——City Military Strength: 0
——City Diplomacy: Ghost Dragon Cliff (Military Alliance)
——City Facilities: None
——City Health Rating: 100 points.
——City Security Rating: 100 points.
——City Cultural Rating: 0 points.
——City Prosperity Rating: 0 points
Looking at Fatalon’s attributes, which are barren except for health and security, and then looking at the first phase’s mission target, Da Fei was bewildered and said, "Lord Samael, why is the city level requirement for this mission so high? How much population does such a high level require to operate?"
Samael smiled faintly: "It doesn’t require a large population. Just consider it a project to demonstrate existence, to attract the Divine Realm’s attention, so I can apply for an Angel Army. With a small population, the cultural evaluation is easy to boost. Speaking of the angel army, the angels accompanying the warrior are very powerful. Where did the warrior recruit these troops?"
Da Fei laughed: "I had a battle in Divine Punishment City some time ago and recruited them from there."
Samael praised: "Worthy of a warrior, being able to fight in Divine Punishment City already proves your excellence. You must have obtained the Holy Body of the Divine Punishment Crusade, and you must be a well-known rookie in the Divine Realm now."
Da Fei laughed: "You’re too kind, sir."
Samael shook his head and sighed: "It’s a pity, such an important matter, I’m stranded on an isolated island with no one to inform me. I’ve really been forgotten. So, warrior, I hope you can help me like you helped Divine Punishment City."
Da Fei laughed: "No problem, no problem. I have a small request too, I hope you can help fill the energy of the Vortex Crystal."
Samael laughed: "A piece of cake."
Anlicia immediately stepped forward and handed over the Vortex Crystal, and took out that secret book with a smile: "Sir, there are a few words in this book I don’t recognize. Could you please help point them out?"
Samael laughed heartily: "Don’t be hasty, let’s take things one at a time."
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, not bad! My status is so high, chatting with demigods, interacting with none but elites. Whether it’s Samael here or the Ghost Dragon King there, or the Angel Leader in Divine Punishment City, am I afraid I can’t handle a mere secret book?
Da Fei laughed: "Then I’ll trouble you, sir."
Samael laughed: "Being lonely for tens of thousands of years, being troubled by someone is not a bad thing either. So, miss, come to the seaside!"
Now, the matters with Angel Brother were smoothly connected, leaving only the crucial worker, Yasoro.
Da Fei walked over to Yasoro, who was sitting among the pirate group: "Now you have seen this place, and you have seen the angel and ghost dragon-level powerhouses. Isn’t the level worthy of you and me? Then let’s officially cooperate. I am the City Lord, and you will be the Deputy City Lord. While I’m not here, you have full say over everything here! Of course, major matters must be discussed with the angel sir. How about it?"
Yasoro stretched out a hand: "I won’t mince words, half the income! Half the income of this city counts as mine."
Oh my! Fine, considering your 11 big ships, you’re worth the price! Without this price, you wouldn’t work hard.
Da Fei agreed candidly: "Alright! Let’s cooperate like this then! You handle your own people!"
——System Prompt: You have invited Blood Hook Yasoro to join Fatalon, and you have appointed Yasoro as the Deputy City Lord of Fatalon.
At that very moment, Yasoro, who had always been a red name, immediately turned into a yellow name, then suddenly stood up and shouted to the pirates drinking and playing cards: "Brothers, we have made it to the Netherworld alive, but there’s no difference from being dead. Just treat ourselves as if we are already dead; if it weren’t for this City Lord’s mercy, we’d be dead already. Let’s not dwell on past matters. No matter which part you were from before, from now on, you’re with me. I’ve thought of a name for us, Nether Sea Pirates, a new type of pirate. What do you say?"
The pirates laughed heartily: "Good! Nether Sea Pirates, so mighty!"
——System Prompt: A new pirate faction, Nether Sea Pirates, has been born. Blood Hook Yasoro has become the leader of this new pirate force. Your reputation in the Nether Sea Pirates is "Neutral."
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Oh my, just gathering a few hundred sailors and poof, a new force is formed? This is too easy and casual! (To be continued.
