Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded.
After defeating the Kobolds and taking over the underground cave, he discovered that the passage leading to the mountain peak had long collapsed.
Now, after more than half a month of digging, it was finally dug through.
In the entire New Moon Islands, only the mountain peak had not been explored. However, through the information of the natives and the Kobolds, he was 100% sure that there was a dragon nest on the mountain peak.
That was a dragon, one of the most powerful magical creatures.
Even if it abandoned its nest, there was a high chance that it would leave behind some valuable items.
For example, the dragon scales that had fallen, the dragon blood left behind by her period, and the remaining treasures.
Every dragon nest was a treasure trove waiting to be excavated.
Ji Chen looked at the darkening sky and said to Wilus, “It’s getting late. You should go and rest.”
“However, this subordinate still has some matters that I have yet to complete…”
“There’s no end to this matter. Don’t ruin your health, or I won’t be able to find another internal affairs officer as capable as you.” Ji Chen smiled.
He was still very tolerant of the old man, Wilus, who looked after his territory.
As he had said, if Wilus were to tire out, he would never find another person capable of managing internal affairs like him. And managing it himself was even more impossible.
Just thinking about all those trivial matters gave Ji Chen a headache.
“Yes,” Wilus hesitated for a moment before responding.
Seeing this, Ji Chen didn’t say anything more. He waved his hand, allowing Wilus to rest, and walked back to the Lord’s Manor.
For the past ten days, Jichen had been tirelessly working and running around, without getting a chance to properly rest and recuperate.
Even though the conditions on the ship were decent, they couldn’t match the comfort of his own territory.
He was eager to get a good night’s sleep.
After finishing the dinner brought in by the maid, he lay his head on the pillow and instantly fell asleep.
The following morning, Jichen woke up feeling refreshed and stretched lazily before leaving the Lord’s Manor. He knew there were still tasks to be completed that day.
The Hero Altar.
Yesterday, they obtained a large amount of Mithril from the sunken ship, completing the final part of the required resources. Today was the perfect day to summon the blue-tier excellent-grade hero.
Summoning Alice and Anina, along with the Naga warriors and the Shallow Water Murlocs, they headed towards the northwest sub-island.
They crossed through the jungle and plains, arriving at the original location of the native tribe.
Without stopping, they continued forward.
Facing the water in front of them, the passage of time had changed. At this moment, Ji Chen no longer needed to ride in the native canoe. He directly walked on the surface of the sea, manipulating the power of water as if he were the controller of the water element.
They arrived in front of the Hero Altar half an hour later. There was nor much difference from when they left.
There was even a large hole in the ground where the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard had been hiding, but it had been filled with water.
Ji Chen waved his hand as he looked at the Hero altar.
“Everyone spread out and guard the surroundings. Be wary of monsters approaching.”
The Naga warriors growled respectfully and spread out to stand guard. Shallow Sea Murlocs also carried their tridents and swaggered through the parts that they did not recognize.
Alice and Anina stood beside him.
Ji Chen nodded and slowly walked up to the altar.
With a wave of his hand, he placed the 3000 units of Mithril, 3000 units of Crystal, and 3000 units of Mithril on the altar.
The altar, which was not very big, was instantly filled with all kinds of glittering resources.
Ji Chen threw out the last piece of Mithril, clapped his hands, and left.
“Ding! Do you wish to activate the Hero Altar?”
“Yes.”
As the words fell, as if detecting the presence of these resources, the patterns and designs on the top of the altar and the twelve stone pillars began to emit bursts of light.
Like vibrant colored clouds, they gradually grew brighter.
A faint glow shot up into the sky, instantly dispersing the clouds.
Within the radiance, the piled-up resources melted away like ice, their colorful meltwater flowing into the patterns on the surface of the altar.
Soon, energy began to accumulate, surging outward from the altar, forming concentric waves.
Ji Chen squinted his eyes, patiently waiting.
After more than ten minutes, as if it had absorbed enough energy, a blue beam of light shot up from the top of the altar like a fountain.
The energy surged as if it could tear through space.
Within the beam of light, a figure appeared, descending through the cracks in the pillars and stepping down from the altar.
Ji Chen stared closely, his face filled with surprise.
The summoned hero turned out to be a Murloc!?
With tendrils resembling dragon’s whiskers, scales akin to a general’s armor, a catfish-like head, and a glimmer of intelligence and brilliance in its fish-like eyes, it stood out from ordinary Murloc.
In its hand, resembling the claw of a wild beast, it held a gleaming trident with a circling current, clearly not an ordinary weapon.
Filled with curiosity, Ji Chen checked its information panel.
[None [can be named ] (Hero) ]
[Race: Murloc]
[Level: 10]
[Current Tier: Blue (Excellent)]
[Potential Tier: Blue (Excellent)]
[Skill: Surge (blue skill, has a certain water control ability, reduces water damage by 30%)]
Giant Throw (Blue skill. Gather all your strength and throw out a trident. Increases the penetration of the trident by 30%. Additional AoE splash damage)
Advanced Murloc Body (Blue Skill, Immune to some curses and viruses, increases 20% Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance)
Ocean Murlocs (Blue skill, movement speed increases by 150% when moving in the ocean, and the Murloc army under your command will enjoy a 50% bonus)
[Military characteristic: Murloc commander (When leading the Murlocs, it will increase morale by 30 points. It will not be afraid of battle or run away. All attributes of the Murlocs under its command will be increased by 50%, and they can communicate with each other telepathically) ]
[This is a Murloc hero who has lost his memory. ]
[Guagua – Guagua!!]
Murlocs, your boss is coming!
The Murloc hero standing before him, in terms of strength, was certainly not on par with purple-grade heroes like Alice or Anina.
However, it possessed a unique advantage that neither of them could match.
That advantage was the boost it provided to leading a Murloc army.
In addition to the speed boost from the Murloc’s aquatic skill, its unit characteristics were perfect for commanding a Murloc army.
What does a 50% increase in overall attributes mean?
Taking the current 3-star third-tier Shallow Sea Murloc as an example, a 50% increase in overall attributes would bring it close to the level of a fourth-tier hero.
Ji Chen let out a sigh, feeling an intangible connection being established between him and the Murloc hero.
This was the power of a contract.
Seemingly aware of this connection, the Murloc hero gazed thoughtfully and slowly approached, planting its trident into the ground and bowing its head.
“My Lord, I thank you for awakening me. I shall forever be loyal to you.”
The fact that this Murloc hero could speak left Ji Chen stunned.
Accustomed to Murlocs making their signature “GuaGua” sounds, hearing one speak in human language was quite unexpected.
“Welcome. Hmm? It seems you don’t have a name?” Jichen inquired.
The Murloc hero’s face displayed confusion. “I believe I had a name before, but
I cannot recall it.”
Unable to remember it?
Jichen pondered for a moment, a mischievous smile forming on his face.
“Since you’ve forgotten your name, then 1 shall give you a new one. Let’s call you… Benbol”
“Benbo… Benbo, 1 shall be known as Benbo from now on!” the Murloc hero repeated, then expressed excitement. “Thankyou, master, for bestowing a name upon me!”
Uh, alright…”
Jichen fought to contain his laughter.
No laughing, he mustn’t laugh, or else he would compromise his dignity as a lord.
Finally managing to suppress his amusement, Ji Chen pointed to the nearby Shallow Sea Murlocs and said, “Henceforth, you shall command these Shallow Sea Murlocs and the Murloc Rangers within the territory. I hope you can lead them well in the battle for me.”
“Yes, sir! Benbo will never let you down!”
Seeing this scene, the surrounding shallow-sea Murlocs also became excited.
They could feel that the person in front of them could make them stronger..
