Chapter 769: Becoming Above Epic in 150 Years?(2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Based on the intelligence collected before their arrival, it seemed that this archipelago was still a wilderness a year ago, dotted with primitive jungles and ferocious beasts.

Isolated from the world and lacking sufficient resources.

However, under such harsh conditions, its lord, Ji Chen, led his people to develop this primitive land.

They established homes, recruitment camps, built ports, cultivated thousands of acres of seawater rice fields for food production, mined minerals in steep and rugged mountains, strengthened their forces by sailing out to sea to search for resources, and so on…

Until now, they have developed into towns with tens of thousands of residents, tens of thousands of high-level troops, and an unknown number of foreign ethnic subjects.

If such experiences were detailed, it would be enough to compile a guidebook for newly appointed lords of the empire to refer to.

It seems that Ji Chen not only has strong personal talents but also remarkable governance abilities.

As Laphia walked, her sensing spell had already alerted her.

On this small island, in every corner, there were hidden powerful auras, some at the legacy tier, some legendary, and even two at the epic tier.

One seemed to be underground, not very clear due to being blocked by rock layers, but the other one seemed to have no intention of hiding at all. That ominous aura in her sensory world soared into the sky from the jungle to the northwest of the island.

But according to the information, there should be another epic-tier besides Ji Chen, could it be that this epic-tier left with Ji Chen?

At this moment, she suddenly saw a young female elf walking on the street. She was neither one of the elf warriors who came to support nor one of the few female elves who arrived on the island.

Laphia paused for a moment, a realization flashed through her mind.

In the depths of her golden eyes, a small, but extremely intricate miniature magic array suddenly appeared.

Under the special sensory vision, the bloodline that flowed through this elf, with an ancient aura, was so prominent.

She was the elf with the ancient bloodline!!

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Laphia walked towards her.

Elisya patrolled the street with her battle bow on her back, diligently checking for any signs of oppression or trouble.

Although she was rather upset that the Lord had recently left with the army without her, she, as part of the Ocean Crown, couldn’t allow any harm to come to the territory when its defense had become much weaker.

Elisya greeted familiar residents as she walked along the street.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a female elf wearing a robe embroidered with the symbol of the Twin Sacred Trees walking towards her on the street.

An elf from the Elven Empire?

Elder Marianne and the others went to the Elven Empire. She didn’t know how they were doing now, but according to Lord Ji Chen, the Elven Empire was now one of the most powerful nations, and no one dared to provoke them. It was believed that Elder Marianne and the others should also be properly resettled and living a peaceful life.

This was good. Elisya was living well now. The Lord valued her very much, everyone treated her well, and there was a lot of good food here. She cherished her life now.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Elisya’s face, and her steps became a bit brisker.

However, the elf from the Elven Empire walked straight towards her and stopped in front of her.

Elisya’s guard suddenly rose a bit, and she spoke in a somewhat friendly tone, “Do you need any help?”

The female elf whispered, “Can we talk somewhere else?”

Her voice was pleasant, with an inherent dignity and nobility.

– This was an elven noble.

Elisya’s mind suddenly flashed with this thought, and she became more alert. Why did she want to talk privately? Could there be something suspicious?

She immediately refused firmly, “Is there anything that can’t be said here? If you need help, you can find the staff of the Ocean Crown.”

Seeing Elisya’s cautious expression, Laphia could only helplessly raise her head and slightly lift her veil, revealing her eyes and half of her face.

She whispered, “I am Laphia, the Elven Queen. Your name is Elisya, right? I want to talk to you about your bloodline.”

Elisya was instantly stunned. How could the Elven Queen be here?

And… about her bloodline?

In a small alley.

Elisya and Laphia stood facing each other, with Elisya leaning against the wall, looking somewhat puzzled.

“Laphia, the Queen,” she said, “you mentioned earlier about my bloodline?”

“Yes, do you know that you possess the bloodline of our elven ancestors, the ancient elven lineage?”

“Of course I do,. Elisya nodded. “Lord Ji Chen has already told me.”

“In that case, you should also know that your potential is immeasurable. With proper cultivation, you will surely grow into the pinnacle powerhouse that dominates the continent.”

Laphia got straight to the point, staring closely into her eyes. “I won’t beat around the bush. As long as you return to the Elven Empire, I am confident that within ten years, you will become an epic-tier powerhouse. Within 150 years, you will surpass even the epic tier.

In a few hundred years, I will abdicate and let you ascend to become the next Elven Queen. With the support of billions of elves, the armies of millions of elves will obey your commands. You will wield the highest power in the world, and countless beings will bow at your feet.”

Laphia sounded confident, as if she was very sure of the conditions she had proposed.

In reality, these conditions sounded extremely tempting. Just the prospect of becoming above epic-tier within 150 years was enough to drive all elves crazy.

But what disappointed Laphia slightly was that Elisya’s expression didn’t change much, seemingly uninterested in the conditions she described.

Instead, she asked in return, “Queen Laphia, do you know how I came to the Ocean Crown?”

Laphia was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Elisya to suddenly ask this question, but she still shook her head.

“We used to live in an endless ice field. Oh right, Lord Ji Chen said it was a mystic realm of the ancient battlefield of gods, filled with the bodies of elves, orcs, and humans frozen in ice…”

A reminiscent look appeared on Elisya’s face as she slowly recounted her past on the ice field, including her eagerness to seize power to save her people, only to be backlashed, trapped in the icy crevices enduring cold and pain, then rescued by Ji Chen, and subsequently her journey to the Ocean Crown.

When Laphia heard that Elisya was once a member of the elven tribe lost in the ancient battlefield of gods, she suddenly realized that the thousands of elves Ji Chen brought back then were Elisya’s people.

She couldn’t help but feel regretful. If she had paid more attention at the time, maybe she wouldn’t have to spend so much effort persuading Elisya to return to the empire.

But as she heard the later tragic experiences, she gradually fell silent.

It turned out that this child had also experienced such an unknown period of suffering. If it weren’t for Ji Chen’s intervention to save her, she might still be insane.

“…That’s how I came to the Ocean Crown. This place has long become the home I swore to protect, a home I cannot leave or abandon. And I cannot leave Lord Ji Chen either.

Because, it was him who saved me.” As she said this, a hint of happiness appeared on Elisya’s face.

The warmth amidst endless cold still deeply lingered in her mind, unforgettable in this lifetime.

Laphia opened her mouth, but couldn’t find any words to say. At this moment, she felt like a sinner trying to take Elisya away from the person who saved her.

Elisya heaved a sigh of relief. “I suddenly talked about a lot of things. Queen Laphia, thank you for being my listener.

But I want to tell you something.”

“…What is it?”

“A few months ago, I was just an inconspicuous rare-tier hero. But now, I am already a legendary-tier hero. I think, with the help of Lord Ji Chen, I might not need 150 years to become above epic-tier.”
