nJi Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded.

nAfter defeating the Kobolds and taking over the underground cave, he discovered that the passage leading to the mountain peak had long collapsed.

nNow, after more than half a month of digging, it was finally dug through.

nIn 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.

nThat was a dragon, one of the most powerful magical creatures.

nEven if it abandoned its nest, there was a high chance that it would leave behind some valuable items.

nFor example, the dragon scales that had fallen, the dragon blood left behind by her period, and the remaining treasures.

nEvery dragon nest was a treasure trove waiting to be excavated.

nJi Chen looked at the darkening sky and said to Wilus, “It’s getting late. You should go and rest.”

n“However, this subordinate still has some matters that I have yet to complete…”

n“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.

nHe was still very tolerant of the old man, Wilus, who looked after his territory.

nAs 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.

nJust thinking about all those trivial matters gave Ji Chen a headache.

n“Yes,” Wilus hesitated for a moment before responding.

nSeeing this, Ji Chen didn’t say anything more. He waved his hand, allowing Wilus to rest, and walked back to the Lord’s Manor.

nFor the past ten days, Jichen had been tirelessly working and running around, without getting a chance to properly rest and recuperate.

nEven though the conditions on the ship were decent, they couldn’t match the comfort of his own territory.

nHe was eager to get a good night’s sleep.

nAfter finishing the dinner brought in by the maid, he lay his head on the pillow and instantly fell asleep.

nThe 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.

nThe Hero Altar.

nYesterday, 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.

nSummoning Alice and Anina, along with the Naga warriors and the Shallow Water Murlocs, they headed towards the northwest sub-island.

nThey crossed through the jungle and plains, arriving at the original location of the native tribe.

nWithout stopping, they continued forward.

nFacing 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.

nThey arrived in front of the Hero Altar half an hour later. There was nor much difference from when they left.

nThere was even a large hole in the ground where the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard had been hiding, but it had been filled with water.

nJi Chen waved his hand as he looked at the Hero altar.

n“Everyone spread out and guard the surroundings. Be wary of monsters approaching.”

nThe 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.

nAlice and Anina stood beside him.

nJi Chen nodded and slowly walked up to the altar.

nWith a wave of his hand, he placed the 3000 units of Mithril, 3000 units of Crystal, and 3000 units of Mithril on the altar.

nThe altar, which was not very big, was instantly filled with all kinds of glittering resources.

nJi Chen threw out the last piece of Mithril, clapped his hands, and left.

n“Ding! Do you wish to activate the Hero Altar?”

n“Yes.”

nAs 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.

nLike vibrant colored clouds, they gradually grew brighter.

nA faint glow shot up into the sky, instantly dispersing the clouds.

nWithin the radiance, the piled-up resources melted away like ice, their colorful meltwater flowing into the patterns on the surface of the altar.

nSoon, energy began to accumulate, surging outward from the altar, forming concentric waves.

nJi Chen squinted his eyes, patiently waiting.

nAfter 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.

nThe energy surged as if it could tear through space.

nWithin the beam of light, a figure appeared, descending through the cracks in the pillars and stepping down from the altar.

nJi Chen stared closely, his face filled with surprise.

nThe summoned hero turned out to be a Murloc!?

nWith 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.

nIn its hand, resembling the claw of a wild beast, it held a gleaming trident with a circling current, clearly not an ordinary weapon.

nFilled with curiosity, Ji Chen checked its information panel.

nNone can be named (Hero)

nRace: Murloc

nLevel: 10

nCurrent Tier: Blue (Excellent)

nPotential Tier: Blue (Excellent)

nSkill: Surge (blue skill, has a certain water control ability, reduces water damage by 30%)

nGiant Throw (Blue skill. Gather all your strength and throw out a trident. Increases the penetration of the trident by 30%. Additional AoE splash damage)

nAdvanced Murloc Body (Blue Skill, Immune to some curses and viruses, increases 20% Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance)

nOcean 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)

nMilitary 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)

nThis is a Murloc hero who has lost his memory.

nGuagua – Guagua!!

nMurlocs, your boss is coming!

nThe Murloc hero standing before him, in terms of strength, was certainly not on par with purple-grade heroes like Alice or Anina.

nHowever, it possessed a unique advantage that neither of them could match.

nThat advantage was the boost it provided to leading a Murloc army.

nIn addition to the speed boost from the Murloc’s aquatic skill, its unit characteristics were perfect for commanding a Murloc army.

nWhat does a 50% increase in overall attributes mean?

nTaking 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.

nJi Chen let out a sigh, feeling an intangible connection being established between him and the Murloc hero.

nThis was the power of a contract.

nSeemingly aware of this connection, the Murloc hero gazed thoughtfully and slowly approached, planting its trident into the ground and bowing its head.

n“My Lord, I thank you for awakening me. I shall forever be loyal to you.”

nThe fact that this Murloc hero could speak left Ji Chen stunned.

nAccustomed to Murlocs making their signature “GuaGua” sounds, hearing one speak in human language was quite unexpected.

n“Welcome. Hmm? It seems you don’t have a name?” Jichen inquired.

nThe Murloc hero’s face displayed confusion. “I believe I had a name before, but

nI cannot recall it.”

nUnable to remember it?

nJichen pondered for a moment, a mischievous smile forming on his face.

n“Since you’ve forgotten your name, then 1 shall give you a new one. Let’s call you… Benbol”

n“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!”

nUh, alright…”

nJichen fought to contain his laughter.

nNo laughing, he mustn’t laugh, or else he would compromise his dignity as a lord.

nFinally 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.”

n“Yes, sir! Benbo will never let you down!”

nSeeing this scene, the surrounding shallow-sea Murlocs also became excited.

nThey could feel that the person in front of them could make them stronger..
