Heart of Empire Chapter 2: Heart of Dynasty
His heart moved, as if he knew what to do. Taking steps, Dane walked towards the tower step by step.
When he gradually approached, he saw a lonely throne in the middle of the top of the tower. A longing rose in his heart, somehow, it seemed that there was a force urging him, calling for him to climb to the top of the tower and sit on the throne.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally stood under the tower. From this position, he looked up and saw that the tower was exactly divided into nine floors. In front of him, the door of the first floor has been opened, as if to embrace him.
Without hesitation, Dane stepped into the tower.
The first floor of the tower is empty, except for a chair in the middle, there is nothing.
Dane, who inherited the memory of another time and space, was not surprised by this at all. He didn't rush to sit up, but turned his gaze to the upward stairs on the other side.
How can one layer satisfy him? He is a man determined to reach the top!
He walked to the stairs, intending to go up. It's only the ninth floor, what kind of man is it if you don't climb to the top?
But he failed. There seemed to be an invisible force blocking him on the stairs, making it impossible for him to take even one step upward.
"Sure enough..." Dane was not discouraged, this was what he expected. Now the hall on this floor is still empty, how could it be possible for him to go to the second floor?
Heaving a sigh of relief, Dane returned his gaze to the chair in the middle of the hall on the first floor. It was a very ordinary wooden chair, and it didn't look like a big deal.
He walked straight over and sat on it without hesitation. In an instant, countless light curtains flashed before his eyes, and what stayed in his field of vision at last was an ancient game interface.
An interface that looked like an ancient scroll appeared in front of his eyes, with seven pictures painted on it, which were buildings of seven different races. The sanctuary of humans, the abyss of demons, the cemetery of the dead, the tribe of orcs, the world tree of elves, the furnace of dwarves, and the dungeon of drow. These seven pictures represent the seven different power races in "Dynasty Heart". And under these seven pictures, there is also a line of words:
"Please choose a racial power."
Dane didn't think much about it, and directly chose the abyssal forces. If you can really pull out a group of demons as thugs like in the game, that would be a great thing!
"The player has chosen the forces of the abyss." Dane grinned, but then a prompt popped up on the game interface, which made his smile freeze instantly.
"Please choose a racial power."
Following the appearance of this prompt, the game interface in front of Dane bounced back to the interface for selecting racial forces.
"What's going on here? Is there a bug?" Dane didn't understand for a while. Of course, the word BUG also came from another memory of his.
No matter what, let's continue to choose first!
He tried to click on the abyss force again, but found that it couldn't be clicked. After thinking about it, I ordered a human and confirmed it.
"The player has chosen the Templar faction."
"Please choose a racial power."
The same prompt appeared again, arousing the unbelief in Dane's heart. Humans too? Then change to something else. Thus, Dane selected all the seven major races during the process of repeated prompts popping up on the game interface. And when he chose the dwarf race for the seventh and last time, the endless prompts popped up, and it was finally over.
"The player has chosen the abyss force, and will get the core building for free: [Bottomless Abyss], please choose a territory to build."
"The player has chosen the temple faction, and will get the core building for free: [Town Hall], please choose a territory to build."
……
"The player has chosen the melting pot faction and gets the core building for free: [Great melting pot], please choose the territory to build."
Seven prompts in a row made Dane's eyes burst into laughter. At this time, he recalled a section from the memory left by the evil spirit. This is a special effect only available in the private server version of "Dynasty Heart". Players can choose the seven major forces to develop together at the same time. Although, he still doesn't know what private servers mean, but this does not prevent him from knowing, this is excellent news!
The excited Dane couldn't wait to start building his own 'empire'. In the [Existing Buildings] option, he found the starting core buildings of the seven races. He thought about it. In the mortal surface world, demons are always a very eye-catching race. If a bottomless abyss is really established, the Holy See will send a lot of discipline priests and paladins to kill demons in minutes. magic.
And orcs are not suitable either. Although the Schindler region is a chaotic place, at least there is a nominal coalition regime here. In Schindler, no matter whether it is a half-orc tribe or a human warlord, they don't like orcs. There was a tribe of orcs, and most of them would also be beaten.
As for the others, drow, elves, dwarves, sky city, etc., are quite unreliable. The most suitable for his current situation, after much deliberation, is only the human temple forces.
So, he chose [Town Hall].
"Please select the building location."
"Error, the player does not have enough territory to build [Town Hall]."
"Please find a territory as soon as possible."
Dane's face has turned into a bitter gourd——in the memory of the evil spirit, he didn't say that! In the game of Dynasty Heart, each player has a territory at the beginning. But... When it comes to the real world, Dane is just a mercenary. Where does he have any territory?
This undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on him. Territory is not an easy thing to acquire in the Orodic world. Moreover, after he thoroughly read the explanation about the territory, he found that he could not just point to a place and say that it was his territory, and it would be recognized by the system. He must have 【Land Certificate】.
"Damn! Buy a piece of land in Schindler that is enough to establish a lord's territory, and you can't afford it if you sell me!" He yelled.
I thought it was a blessing from heaven, but who would have thought that there would be such a barrier.
"Land... land... land... By the way, there is it! Comilla desert island!" He suddenly remembered something, which seemed to be able to solve his problem!
Comilla Desert Island is a small island sailing from Sandy Bay Harbor to the Southern Cross Sea. The reason why it is called a deserted island is because the island is really useless. The land is barren, the climate is not good, and there are monsters on the island. In addition, the most important point is that Cormia is still far away from trade routes, and it doesn't even have the effect of serving as a supply station!
Such an island is of course worthless.
Dane also knew that the ownership of the deserted island of Comilla was in the hands of a halfling businessman named Gudel. Coincidentally, Dane was acquainted with Goodell, and he often heard Goodell himself complaining that buying the desert island of Comilla was the most loss-making business he had ever done in his life.
Back then, when Goodell bought Comilla, he spent no more than a thousand gold coins. And after being in his hands for so long, if he wants to sell Cormyr again, he may get a 50% discount—no, 30% discount, 20% discount is possible!
A few hundred gold coins, Dane has been in the mercenary industry for so many years, so he is more or less a respectable figure. Although the savings are not much, but this little money can be taken out by gritting one's teeth.
An island that deviates from the main route, isn't this an excellent place for dragons to cultivate with great concentration? As for the barren land - if there is a building with forest elves: [Fountain of Life], as long as it is not a real hell, it is not a problem!
Now he almost couldn't wait to find Goodell to buy that deserted island. However, his mind was somewhat calm. He knew that before he set off, he had to settle the matter in the Horror Mercenary Corps first. Even if he has the game system of "Dynasty Heart" in his hand, to develop a desert island, the system alone is not enough, manpower is also very important.
Where does the manpower come from? Of the more than 300 people in the Horror Mercenary Corps, at least half of them believed in him. These people have good fighting power, and they are all young and middle-aged. What's more rare is that there are very few people with families. They are the most outstanding people who open up new territories~IndoMTL.com~ The most important thing is that he is very familiar with these people , and are convinced of him, this is definitely much better than recruiting unreliable strangers to open up wasteland.
Then, a very important problem before him at this moment is to solve the trouble of the horror mercenary group, so as to obtain enough land reclamation population.
Thinking of the Horror Mercenary Group, Dane's mood turned bad again. The two or three days of being in a coma really delayed things too much. He dared to swear on all the hair on his legs, that old guy Bynes must have sensed his thoughts. Otherwise, without the instructions of old Bynes, Nasha, that coward, who would have the guts to touch Dane?
Originally, he was not afraid. With the power of victory and his confidants, he had a great chance to directly control the entire horror mercenary group before Old Ghost Ya could react. But his illness has dragged on for two days, and things have changed a lot.
Now, there have been drastic changes within the mercenary group, and the old ghost Baines has already taken action, and he is still staying in this inexplicable place. Next, if something goes wrong, Dane will be exiled at best, and may even lose his life at worst. Old Bynes was ruthless, he knew better than anyone else.
Although it was a blessing in disguise and he got the "Heart of Dynasty", but in the horror mercenary group, he is now at a great disadvantage. He had to find some other way to get back the disadvantage.
There seems to be no way. He saw a marquee called [Hero Template] on the side of the quaint game interface in front of him.
