Chapter 709: Legendary Siren, Construction of Engineering Equipment

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After roughly a month had passed, there had been significant progress in the various projects of the Crown of the Ocean.

The 7-star building, Hero Fountain, had long been completed. It covered the entire territory with a BUFF that increased the chance of hero births. In just half a month, the Crown of the Ocean had already produced two hero units. Although they were only of white common-tier, it was enough to demonstrate the power of this building.

The wonder building, Heraklion Temple, had made considerable progress, reaching about 60% completion. The main structure had slowly taken shape. This was a temple building towering tens of meters high, occupying tens of thousands of square meters of land. Though not yet fully completed, its grandeur was already evident.

As for the spell tower mounted on the giant turtle’s back, its outline was already visible. The spiral tower-like structure stood atop the island-like turtle shell, surrounded by a large number of arrow towers, spell towers, cannons, and even barracks accommodating troops. This mobile strategic platform, akin to an aircraft carrier, would become an important means of defense against demon invasions in the future.

The first batch of rare resources, totaling five million units, purchased by Lienhardt using funds from the Bass Kingdom treasury, had already been delivered. During this time, the Crown of the Ocean had sold specialty goods, totaling one million six hundred thousand units of rare resources. Among them, three hundred thousand units were wine, with the rest being fluorescent mushrooms, ores, and other products.

This total income of 6.6 million units of rare resources was enough to replenish the resources consumed in the previous round of recruiting troops. Although it was not enough to upgrade Anina, who had absorbed the dragon whale bloodline, to epic-tier, it could allow Alice to advance from the legacy level to the legendary level.

Ji Chen took out the epic-tier potential template of the Siren hero Theresa obtained from the 7-star instance: Battle of Panas.

Originally, he had planned to find another Siren at some point in time and use this template to add another hero of epic-tier potential to the Crown of the Ocean. But now, as the crisis approached, there was no time to spare, and he directly applied it to Alice.

Summoning Alice over, he informed her of the matter.

“Thank you for your kindness, my lord!”

Alice’s expression was quite excited. Previously, she witnessed her colleagues advance to higher tiers. Although she showed no outward signs, she couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.

Ji Chen nodded, his mind moved slightly, and the template took effect directly.

“Ding~ The epic-tier potential template of Siren hero Theresa has been used. The potential of Siren hero Alice has been raised to the epic tier.”

Perhaps it was because the potential template of Theresa, the former ruler of a marine kingdom, had been used, but Alice now exuded a few more degrees of majesty and nobility as an upper-class person. Coupled with her already stunning appearance, she seemed like a divine maiden from the sacred and inviolable heavens.

The constraints on the potential ceiling had been lifted, and the advancement conditions for Alice on the military talent tree had also changed simultaneously.

[Siren Hero Alice (Red-Legacy Tier —»Orange-Legendary Tier) requires 2.5 million units of rare resources]

Previously, it required a daunting 4.5 million units of rare resources, but now it only required 2.5 million units, a direct reduction of 2 million. However, this amount of resources that had once been daunting was now easily obtainable.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen immediately advanced Alice.

“Consuming 2.5 million units of rare resources, Siren Hero Alice (Legacy Tier) advances to the Legendary Tier.”

The beam of light gradually disappeared, revealing Alice’s figure.

A powerful aura belonging to a legendary-tier powerhouse spread throughout the Crown of the Ocean like the ebb and flow of the tide.

The fourth legendary-tier hero of the Crown of the Ocean was born.

As if in response, powerful auras emanated from various places in the Crown of the Ocean.

Epic tier… Legendary tier… Legacy tier… Like colorful rays of light, they competed to illuminate this small territory.

The elven soldiers and merchants stationed here, who had recently witnessed the spectacle of ten thousand dragons flying, were utterly astonished by the immense power emanating from all directions.

Under this powerful aura, every soul felt shaken and moved.

In the underground lizardman world, as if sensing the commotion on the surface, Thotmudo, who was engrossed in studying alchemical apparatus, looked up at the ceiling of the workshop.

He muttered quietly, “This lad, why do all his heroes grow so fast? Could this also be the blessing of the gods?”

The apprentice craftsmen nearby raised their heads in confusion. “Sir Thotmudo, what are you talking about?”

Thotmudo furrowed his brow, glaring with bulging eyes and berating, “Continue forging your weapons! After all this time, you still haven’t mastered the intermediate forging techniques of the dwarves. I’ve lived for so many years, but I’ve never seen apprentices with such poor talent like you!

The demons are about to attack, when will you be able to forge weapons and equipment comparable to those produced by Black Iron Fortress!?”

These apprentices from various races, who were much taller than dwarves, immediately cowered like ostriches, shrinking their necks. They continued to hammer the sword blanks on the anvil, one after another.

The crisp sound of hammering echoed throughout the workshop.

Seeing this, Thotmudo’s expression softened somewhat. Although these apprentices were not as talented, they were diligent and could still be taught.

If given a few more years, he could definitely train a group of craftsmen capable of forging high-quality weapons and equipment. With these weapons and equipment, he could exchange for a large amount of resources to nurture the rapid development of the Crown of the Ocean. However, the demon invasion interrupted his plans and thoughts.
