Chapter 158 - 154: Observations on Isloa’s
Translator: 549690339
The cue sound echoed in his ear, catching Mr. Mu off guard.
I’ve… never even heard of this before!
Glancing over the conditions for the blessing of Heaven and Earth again, sure, it only made sense why he hadn’t heard of it before.
‘Prompt: You have gained a permanent boost: Lord’s Charm +1 level, Tianyuan
Lord’s Prestige+1 level.’
In the mysterious, additional information rushed into his mind.
The Lord’s Charm could universally enhance one’s “affinity” and majesty . Whether it would make the already handsome Mr. Mu even more handsome, he was uncertain, but…
This trait could effectively improve the morale of the territory, making it easier for the lord to recruit wild heroes, troops, and so on.
“Looks like it’s of no use?”
It did have uses, but at the moment, Mr. Mu rarely left his home.
The increased prestige of the territory by +1 level, brought about effects that were rather welcomed, it could effectively boost the absorption rate of the displaced people, especially the attraction towards talents would be significantly increased.
The name of Tianyuan would gradually spread.
“Not bad.”
“A pleasant surprise.”
The hero festival had already ended, Tianyuan territory was shrouded in darkness at this moment, yet the City Lord’s Mansion and distant rare buildings were lit up, driving away the darkness.
Mu Yuan and Duo Lai, each with a story to tell, appeared next to the City Lord’s Mansion, before the Lord’s altar.
In front of him, the golden gate symbolizing the festival grounds, the Secret
Realm’s Gate, was slowly closing.
“Goo?-”
Duo Lai was asking, where was the junior with pink hair?
“No rush, let’s wait a little longer.”
The Star Child lsla was not a live hero, she wouldn’t leave the Secret Realm with
them.
Instead,
Humm Suddenly, the light of heaven and earth attracted and intertwined,
drawing out a curvaceous figure.
Only for a moment, the Condensed Body of Heaven and Earth Light had quietly dispersed, Isla with pink hair had already appeared on the altar, just like recruited troops.
However, she didn’t have her luxurious purple dress and full -body jingling accessories, she was simply wearing a very plain cloth top and trousers, wearing clogs on her feet, barely covering her round and smooth toes as if they were made of jade.
Was the Power of Heaven and Earth being a bit too thrifty?
Tianyuan territory was rather rudimentary, but of course, clothing of the right size could be found.
Soon, Isla changed into a purple outfit and tied up her shoulder-length hair, looking more competent.
The new employee had officially started work.
However,
She wanted to say something but stopped.
“You want to ask about the Time Maze City task, right?
“Mm, yeah.”
“Don’t worry, your childhood… friends from hundreds of years ago will
definitely be saved.”
“But Trick City, it’s dangerous.”
Isla’s mind wandered back to hundreds of years ago… which to her could only
be a few years or months ago.
At that time, her power was not weak, being at the peak of the Elite level, even so, they had several brushes with death after losing their way into Trick City, where terrifying undead creatures and curses lurked everywhere.
Not to mention now, her level realm was only at 7 of the Elite stage, and although the potential of the Lord of Tianyuan was infinite, he was just a novice lord.
A lord who had started from scratch and had been building the territory for
only a few months, and was still very weak.
Rushing into Trick City, would mean certain death.
“That’s why I say we must be fully prepared, but you also have to believe that our territory has this power.”
As for whether she could save her companions from the past, Isla still held a pessimistic view.
She decided to numb herself with work.
She was a hero that the Lord had just recruited, it was her job to help the Lord with his worries and troubles, instead of bringing a problem to the territory.
“My Lord, please instruct, is there any work task you need me to do?
Well, there were quite a few.
However,
“Let me give you a tour of the territory first, and then let’s hold a welcoming feast. We’ll discuss work matters tomorrow.”
Leaving from the altar, two people headed south, passing a plain ‘Domain Interferer’ fairly quickly.
But Isla was a professional after all, she had not been deceived by the appearance of this building, quickly spotting the special ripples around.
“This is… a facility that can conceal the territory and prevent outsiders from spying? This is a highly sophisticated and ingenious facility!”
The Central Academy also had similar facilities.
However, this building in Tianyuan territory, that looks like black antennas, seemed to be no worse than the ones she had seen in the Central Magic Academy?
No wonder so many heroes were going after My Lord-!
“This building is called the Domain Interferer, I see you’re familiar with some anti-divination, can you enhance the interference of this building?”
“This facility is slightly different from the ones I know about, but given some time, I can set up some external devices to enhance its anti-spying ability.
She had only thought for two and a half seconds before confidently asserting this with her neck raised as proudly as a swan’s.
No wonder she’s a hero who knows everything, with her main job involving star imagery.
This was also one of the reasons why Mu Yuan had recruited her.
The two continued onwards, and outside the core area was the southern residential area. This was also the area that best reflected a territory’s style.
However, Mr. Mu had somewhat forgotten that the hero festival ended at midnight, the southern civilian area was already almost empty, yet from the distant houses with the lights turned off, there were occasional “mmm’s” and “ahh’s” that sounded like undulating waves.
Mu Yuan:”…”
As long as I don’t feel embarrassed, I won’t be embarrassed.
Isla turned a little red, but nothing could be seen in the darkness. She pretended not to be embarrassed, surveying the surroundings with a professional eye.
Soon, he was engrossed in observing.
In all fairness, the fact there were awkward noises meant that the citizens here were well-fed and full of energy. This was unlike some remote towns in the Eagle Kingdom that would be on the brink of survival in the years of disaster. The Tianyuan Territory also seemed to be located on the outer edge of the Tai Xuan Alliance, constantly under the attack of monster tides. It was difficult to survive here, but there were no traces of battle, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
It was a vibrant new territory.
In the early morning, although no civilians were seen, the soldiers of the defensive troops were still diligently carrying out their patrol tasks.
A big halberdier led two halberd guards and three spearmen, forming a small team to patrol along a set trajectory. When they came to Mu Yuan, they stopped, clumsily saluted, and then continued their duty.
“That’s… a big halberdier, right?”
She was slightly surprised. In such a short time, a minimum of three big halberdiers had passed through her field of vision.
They seemed to be of low level, but after all, they were big halberdiers, and they would eventually become masters who could hold their own.
This place was just one of the patrol areas in the southern part of Tianyuan Territory.
Tianyuan… No, our territory indeed had a considerable number of soldiers.
Suddenly,
As the two walked past a large, robust tree, the tree opened its eyes, its branches swaying in excitement as if it was a child weighing several thousand pounds.
Mu Yuan knew that this was the treeman expressing its joy, welcoming him.
It couldn’t talk yet, but it already had considerable wisdom.
“This… this is a treeman guard?”
Isla was astonished.
She had only read about treemen in books, and heard that they were only active within the elves’ kingdoms and were extremely rare outside.
However, as they walked along, they came across the second, third, fourth treeman, greeting them unexpectedly.
My Lord, do you have some elf lineage?
“This is the plantation area in Tianyuan Territory, currently only growing some common jade crystal rice. There is also a fertile area to the north that grows some rare crops,” Mu Yuan explained.
Unfortunately, Isla didn’t have any special opinions about crops, because after all, she wasn’t capable of everything.
As they were walking through, a special plant thrust in the center of the field suddenly bloomed, and a small, barefoot elf in a long dress flew out, floating in the air.
She fluttered about, giggling.
“Is this a flower fairy?”
“No, it’s a vegetation spirit!”
Isla widened her eyes, looking at her lord to confirm with her gaze.
“Indeed, it is a vegetation spirit.”
Mu Yuan nodded.
There were many kinds of vegetation spirits, and this one, because it evolved from a flower fairy, still retained the appearance of a flower fairy. But it could merge into any plant at any time, moving freely.
If it was in a forest area, the vegetation spirit could travel several or even a dozen kilometers in the blink of an eye.
This was an excellent one-star troop.
Auxiliary type.
“Indeed, with the vegetation spirit and the flower fairies, the growth speed of crops in the territory can be significantly increased. Hmm, I will make a comparison chart later to calculate which kind of crops are more profitable. But I also need the current market data on all kinds of crops.
She concluded.
Then she felt something was off.
Oh right, this was an excellent one-star troop and also a very rare and precious vegetation spirit. When you introduce it, can’t you be a bit more enthusiastic, My Lord?
Don’t be so calm.
After touring the south, Isla was somewhat astonished.
On second thought, it was only natural for the Lord of Tianyuan, who was cloaked in golden brilliance, to have some rare kinds of troops.
Besides, they were only excellent one-star troops.
Her own class of ‘Star Queen,’ obtained through Awakening, creating techniques, and reforming her body, was rated a full three-star!
She was truly a genius!
She would undoubtedly help the Lord in accelerating the development of Tianyuan Territory.
While Mu Yuan was walking around late at night, the situation was not quiet in other territories either.
In honor of the heroes they had recruited, the lords rejoiced. The name ‘Tianyuan’ began to spread among countless lords and even influential figures. “Shocking News: Just how outstanding is the Lord of Tianyuan to attract numerous heroes to compete?”
A passerby commented, “Isn’t it wrong? The Hero Festival, I remember it’s the lords who compete for heroes, right? Is this news wrong?”
Another passerby said, “No mistake, I was there. The Lord of Tianyuan is forever a god!”
A third passerby added, “Forever a god +1!” However, the fortunes of different kingdoms did not match. The Shen Yao Empire had suffered several defeats in this festival. The queen, because she couldn’t recruit Princess Fei Xi, had to fall back on recruiting a second-rate hero. The glory lord, on account of always pursuing the ‘Holy Light Master Sacrifice,1 and seeing that the compatible ‘Knight of Dawn’ was also recruited by Wuji, could only end up recruiting a hero who was two levels lower.
This slight defeat was still within the tolerance of the high-level officials of Shen Yao Empire.
But,
“Regardless of the reason, this Lord of Tianyuan showing a stronger competitiveness than the Lord of Han Yue City mustn’t be allowed to continue! At least, we cannot allow another Han Yue to emerge.
“Investigate, I want to see all the data on the Lord of Tianyuan within three days.”
“Not bad, not bad, he has my style back in the day. He is indeed the person I have chosen.”
in a place in Lanxing, after hearing Liu Miumiu’s description, Liu Xiyue crossed her slender left leg over her right one, changing to a comfortable sitting posture.
LiuMiumiu: “…”
Even though you’re my sister, I also know that Big Boss Tianyuan’s style is obviously better than yours, okay?
Liu Xiyue pondered and said, “This time, since Tianyuan has earned such a great reputation for our Tai Xuan, I have to get something good for him from those old guys.”
