CHAPTER 27 OF 188

Chapter 27: Return to the Territory

Elara was horrified.

She observed Toji Hisami carefully and found that it was not her illusion.

When she faced Toji Hisami, she did feel the same aura she felt from other elders.

But she still couldn’t believe it in her heart.

On the contrary, Renn jumped up next to him.

"You have obtained the rank of lord!?"

Renn shouted in disbelief, his face full of shock.

Because he felt the same way Elara did.

As descendants of lords from large territories, their family is huge and they come into contact with many lords on a daily basis.

He is particularly clear about the aura gap between the lower lords and the upper lords.

Toji Hisami smiled at this.

"The reward of the ultimate test, the rank of Lord."

"!!!"

The suspicion was confirmed, and both Elara and Renn felt extremely complicated, both shocked and regretful.

"I regret that I did not participate in the final test."

"I was shocked that Toji Hisami was able to receive the Lord rank reward."

This is the highest-level reward ever offered in Moana, and is unheard of.

This incident had a greater impact on Elara and Renn than Toji Hisami receiving all the blessings from the gods.

In their opinion, Toji Hisami not only has a bright future, but he is also invincible in this Lord Trial...

While everyone was still a trainee lord, Toji Hisami was already an official lord with a high rank.

How can this compete?

When the first assessment begins, the trainee lords will face the most terrifying competitors in history.

"At this time, I really don’t know what to say other than blessings."

Elara bent over and made an ancient salute to Toji Hisami, her expression dignified and serious.

Even Renn, who was next to him, restrained his impassioned look and bowed in the same way.

This is the respect a lower lord should have for a higher lord.

After saluting, Elara proposed to exchange their contact information.

This is equivalent to pulling in a friend list.

Compared with the public chat that is open after the fifth level territory, the friends list can be used for private chat and fixed-point transactions.

This was supposed to be the first assessment, something that could only be done after the territory was opened to all members.

But they circumvented this restriction by meeting in Moana in advance.

After exchanging friends, Elara suddenly looked at Toji Hisami and said slowly:

"I’m in the South District. During this trial, I want to be an ally with you and let you take the lead."

"Me too!"

Renn, who was next to him, heard Elara’s words and immediately followed him without hesitation.

In addition to competition, Lord Trials also involve cooperation.

After all, during the trial, crises will arise in the Void Ocean that threaten the trainee lords.

If it is solved, it will naturally become nourishment for the lords.

If you lose, your path to lordship will be over.

Therefore, the lords are bound to adopt a cooperative approach.

Of course, the so-called cooperation includes people who share the same goals, and people like Victor who directly want to dominate others.

The attitudes of Elara and Renn at this time were obviously that they wanted to take Toji Hisami as their leader and accept his leadership.

"I just followed Toji Hisami on the fourth floor for a while."

They have witnessed many operations of Toji Hisami.

Whether it is the ability to capture opportunities or the ability to respond to crises.

They are all the best among the best.

And Toji Hisami is not as aggressive as Victor.

Both Elara and Renn have a very good impression of Toji Hisami.

If Toji Hisami is the leader, then it’s not that they can’t accept it, at least it’s much better than Victor.

"The alliance mode hasn’t been activated yet, but since you think so, I won’t object."

Toji Hisami did not refuse.

He didn’t forget that he still had a grudge against the Zhao family.

Although Zhao Kai is not taken seriously by him, he will definitely have a fight with the Zhao family after he goes out.

Elara and Renn both have great backgrounds, and they can be helped when the time comes.

Toji Hisami is not a fool.

Although one’s own strength is the foundation, the number of allies cannot be ignored.

Why did humans survive the catastrophe by relying on lords instead of ordinary professionals?

It is because the lord can unite human beings and twist them into a rope.

As a time traveler, Toji Hisami has a clear view.

"As the saying goes, I, Toji Hisami, have my own laws, and the king’s domineering ways are mixed!"

Elara and Renn have also passed his test. They will not cause any trouble if they join his force.

The alliance intentions were mutually confirmed immediately.

Elara is in the South District and Renn is in the North District.

When the time comes, each will give priority to development in its own area, and will join forces if there is an opportunity.

At this time, waves began to rise on the sea.

Elara told Toji Hisami that it was because Moana was disappearing and they had to leave as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this place will be swallowed up again by the Void Ocean.

It’s hard to get in here, but easy to get out.

Before leaving, Elara gave the last three drops of the fountain of life to Toji Hisami.

This is a contribution to the alliance leader and a ritual sense of alliance.

Renn took a look, rummaged through his things, and finally gave Toji Hisami a prop, the Shield Guard Book.

Using this thing, you can activate the shield guard profession in the job transfer station.

The three of them said goodbye and left Moana.

After they left, the gods in the sky also ended their communication and dispersed.

Only one of them slowed down a little, and after the other gods disappeared, he reached out and picked up Victor’s body...

....

A strange world filled with black mist.

Low vibrations and rumbling thunder came one after another, continuously.

A corpse was thrown on the ground covered with black floating ash, startling countless three-eyed crows.

Then another figure wearing a cloak stepped out.

What could be seen from under the slit in the cloak was just a skeleton.

Woo rumbling rumbling...

The skeleton raised its head, the soul fire burning in its eye sockets.

He seemed to have heard something incredible, which actually made the skull face smile.

"In that case, I can help you get involved."

The skeleton novice pinched it and pulled out a blue-white flame from nowhere.

He threw the flame into the corpse and muttered something.

The corpse suddenly shook and raised its head suddenly.

It’s Victor!

"Congratulations, you have been reborn. If you can complete our goal, we can maintain your life."

The skull said with a smile, and crows surrounded him, looking extremely weird.

After waiting for a while, Victor, who was already lifeless, gritted his teeth and nodded.

Rumble, rumble...

There was another loud noise in the sky, and Victor recognized the voice of the god and suddenly trembled.

What happens in this strange place is not known to outsiders.

And somewhere in the sea of chaos, Toji Hisami and Lyra rushed out of the sea in a boat.

Looking at the familiar clouds and mist around them and the clearly visible coastline not far away, both of them gave a rare smile.

Toji Hisami took a good stretch.

To be honest, the execution of this trip to Moana cost him a lot of effort.

If one link is not handled correctly, he is afraid that he will sink into the sea.

Not to mention any grand plans for hegemony and future development.

Moreover, it was the first time for Toji Hisami to have such close contact with gods in this world.

Usually, you can only read the records in books.

The pressure is indeed great.

At least for now, he is unable to negotiate terms with the gods.

"Let’s go back."

Toji Hisami waved his hand, and Lyra immediately mobilized the boat, and the two of them headed for the shore.

There is a wooden watchtower on the coast.

At this time, after seeing Toji Hisami and Lyra’s ship appear, they immediately rang the bronze bell and the sound was heard far away.

The people from the territory actually set up security here. Needless to say, it must be Lena’s idea.

The people above had recognized Toji Hisami and were soon waiting on the simple pier.

Soon after, people from the territory also came on horseback.

When Kael saw Toji Hisami, he rolled and crawled in front of Toji Hisami.

He just hugged Toji Hisami’s thigh to express his feelings.

Lena and Li Xuan arrived later, but there was no change between them.

It was Lena who couldn’t help but be shocked when she saw Toji Hisami.

At the same time, the moment Toji Hisami set foot on the territory, the entire territory was suddenly enveloped in light.

[Void Ocean Territory No. 07, Lord Toji Hisami obtains the rank of Lord]

[The territory limit has been increased by 50%]

[Welcome your lord to his territory, my subjects]

A loud sound resounded in the ears of all the people in the territory, whether they were at the dock or inside the wall.

At this moment, all the people under Toji Hisami could not help but kneel down.

Kowtow and salute to him, to where he is!

Lena touched her chest with her left hand and opened her lips slightly, feeling both shocked and confused.

My lord just went out for a trip, why did he become a lord when he came back?

And the Lord Trial isn’t over yet, right?

In other words, the Lord Trial has not officially started yet, right?

Toji Hisami also didn’t expect that when he set foot in the territory, it would trigger such a change.

However, he had no intention of hiding it and immediately waved everyone to get up.

Compared with the improvement in grade, his personal gains this time are not weak at all.

The blessings of three gods are passive, an artifact that projects the power of the gods.

From this moment on, Toji Hisami is no longer a commoner with an ordinary background.

He is a lord with powerful background!

He is the fastest breakthroughr in the history of the Hall of Knowledge.

He is the only winner in the history of Moana who has received all the rewards and blessings.

Facing Toji Hisami, even Elara, the Queen of Dukes, lowered her noble head.

What’s more, his fellow citizens?

At this moment, the entire territory was boiling, and everyone was cheering.

Because the lord’s level increases, it will naturally benefit them, at least their professional abilities will also increase accordingly.

Lena, Kael and Li Xuan finally calmed down and followed Toji Hisami into the carriage.

Everyone began to return to the center of the territory.

On the way, Lena, as the affairs officer, began to report to Toji Hisami what happened during his absence.

Only then did Toji Hisami know that he had already been to Moana for a month.

And within this month, the effect of the territory’s Heaven Rewards Diligence talent has been weakened by 50%.

That’s why Kael was so excited when he saw Toji Hisami come back.

In fact, even if the effect is reduced by 50%, the effect of Heaven Rewards Diligence is still very obvious.

But Kael seemed to be used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. How could he bear it when he was suddenly asked to eat ordinary meals again.

"There are still twenty days left before the first assessment."

Lena opened the notebook and turned it in front of Toji Hisami.

The above is the current situation of the territory. The population is basically full.

Of course, after Toji Hisami returned, the upper limit of the territory was increased.
