Chapter 1054: Chapter 251: Summoning Internal Affairs Hero (2)

Violet was left dumbfounded, couldn’t believe that a woman could turn from sacred and solemn to hilariously silly just by opening her mouth.

In the divine light of her completed ascension, she had flowing long hair, a divine figure, noble and icy, a perfect goddess, yet once she spoke, all that vanished into thin air.

What was even funnier was her Heroic Body.

Everyone was familiar with Audrey’s commander trait [Moonlight Soul-Soothing Song], its powerful effects had shocked many repeatedly.

But her Heroic Body, probably only a few people remembered it.

Actually, the effects of her Heroic Body were used more frequently than anyone else; it’s just that everyone instinctively forgot or ignored it.

[Heroic Body: Commander +10, Root Bone +10, Soul +10, Life Value +100%, Spiritual Energy Value +100%, Resilience Increase +100%, Damage Reduction +50%, Mana cost during casting -50%, 30% chance of casting without cost when shouting skill names, and all skill levels increase by lv3 for ten seconds].

Yes, her Heroic Body’s effects activate when she shouts out skill names!

So on the warship, she kept shouting repeatedly: "Resurrection Skill!" "Resurrection Skill!" "Resurrection Skill!" "Soul Summoning Skill!"

For others, this trait might feel embarrassing.

But for her, it was absolutely no issue, she even enjoyed it, effect doubled!

Everyone thought shouting skill names was purely silly and fun, but it was actually her Heroic Body’s effect.

Sometimes, even Lin Rui would overlook this effect of hers.

With her as a cautionary tale, Lin Rui was determined to cultivate a more reliable hero this time. Her good friend, the Goddess Priestess Yuyu’s unreliability level was second only to her.

Can you really rely on a Goddess Priestess who can’t even remember the doctrines?

Although Divine Champion and Goddess Priestess are indeed the best hero pairing, Lin Rui still said decisively: "You can skip the lines for once. The hero being promoted this time doesn’t suit your style of lines."

"Ah? Why, I think my lines are quite versatile." Audrey quickly asked: "Who are you going to promote as hero? I can modify my lines."

"Worthy of the investment of my two Legendary Hero’s Hearts! And right before your eyes, someone you are familiar with."

Audrey looked around at the group involved in the fusion sacrifice but couldn’t figure out who was suitable, asking: "I’m familiar? Who? It’s not Su Xi, right? Her personality doesn’t seem suitable to lead troops."

"Not Su Xi." Lin Rui pointed to Caroline in front, who walked carefully toward him with both hands in front of her stomach, a bit shyly.

She was quite confused, being just a newly graduated academy student, was the Lord serious? Planning to cultivate her into the territory’s Legendary Hero?

At barely over twenty years old, lacking age and combat capability, could she really do it?

Audrey also widened her eyes, asking: "Caroline? But she’s not a combat unit, is she?"

"Why not." Lin Rui replied confidently: "She’s a Holy Light Apostle, an authentic Heroic Spirit level combat sequence."

Heroic Spirit level or not doesn’t matter for the territory, once the Realm of Transformation is built, all humans of the territory will become the minimum Heroic Spirit level entities.

The characteristics bestowed on the territory now ensure the Realm of Transformation maintains the territory’s baseline, while Wutong’s edict ensures the territory’s upper limit.

So instead of summoning other heroes, it’s better to cultivate the territory’s own citizens.

Even if she starts as a Rare Level hero, she’ll soon grow to Epic-level, Legendary-level.

Except for that unfortunate Ravenclaw, everyone has already advanced quickly.

"But... but isn’t her priest ability just a side thing? I’ve never seen her use it, her main profession is the territory’s chief civil servant, right?"

"Exactly." Lin Rui smiled: "It’s precisely because her main profession is a civil servant, that she deserves these two Legendary Hero’s Hearts."

Otherwise, depending on random summoning, who knows how long it’ll take to summon an administrative hero?

And relying on fortuity to elevate civil officials into heroes is incredibly difficult.

This is why Lin Rui is willing to expend two Legendary Hero’s Hearts at all costs.

Lin Rui reached out and said to Caroline: "Congratulations, my civil servant, from today, you are the territory’s Legendary Hero."

Caroline extended her hand and shook Lin Rui’s tightly, her voice filled with nervousness and anxiety as she asked: "Lord, am I... am I capable?"

"I said you are capable, so you are! I’m counting on you to upgrade and rearrange the territory layout, many initial buildings now seem unsuitable in placement."

This was not a fault in Lin Rui’s planning, but as the territory develops, there must be expansion, infrastructure growth, demolition and reconstruction.

Some things can be torn down, like residences, warehouses, factories. These are great wealth to a resident or a merchant house but are just numbers for the territory.

A single administrative order with enough compensation for demolition and reconstruction can clear out large areas easily.

But some things cannot be dismantled, like the Ogre Kingdom Prisoner Camp, Little Fishman Camp, Giblin Plantation of the Green Skins, and Waste Reinforcement Workshop.

No one wants a giant trash factory in the middle of the city full of garbage and waste, right?

But these items were fortified through massive resources and are rare and unique, once demolished, rebuilding them is impossible.

Like the Ogre Prisoner Camp, it’s small in area, just with a rugged style and can barely count as a unique architectural style in the city center.

But the Green Skins’ Giblin Plantation cannot, it currently spans 20,000 acres.

20,000 acres, which is equivalent to 133 square kilometers.

The area isn’t large, equal to a third of a small neighborhood, roughly a third of the Gaza region.

But it’s not small either, Celestial Soldiers have been fighting in an equivalent plantation area for almost half a year, with tens of thousands dead and injured.

Golden Pansy Domain’s 20,000-acre plantation is also resounding with battle cries every day.

Logically placing it in the city center is inappropriate, especially when it’s by Moon Marsh Lake.

In such a beautiful location, with millions fighting daily, spiritual energy bombardment causes the earth to shake, having tremendous effects on surrounding areas.

And upon hearing Lin Rui say this, Caroline relaxed, and immediately said: "Our territory has increased by over a thousand kilometers, with broader lands, moving the plantation out is absolutely feasible. By then, the plantation can have even broader developmental prospects."

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Indeed, vast territory is one of the most important advantages for a territory."

No wonder the Territorial Essence emphasizes the territory’s land area in its characteristics.

If the territory was narrow, development and expansion would be impossible, even stunting the civilization’s growth potential.

But now the Golden Pansy Domain measures three to four thousand kilometers, which for a small feudal state is equivalent to a Baron’s Domain.

Only the Earl’s Domain in this world is truly vast.

Audrey, after hearing this, was interested and asked: "Father, can the Waste Reinforcement Workshop be moved to my place?"

The Waste Reinforcement Workshop’s main enhancement results are given to Audrey’s undead, which was a tiny request she made to Lin Rui instead of various things.

How could any man refuse a girl who asks for no treasures, no money, just some waste?

Lin Rui promptly nodded and said: "Absolutely no problem, that’s rightful, let your troops come and move the waste then. By the way, how is the reinforcement status of your troops? I recall the workshop’s authority was given to you some time ago, right?"
