Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 494, You Built Me a Fortress?!

Translator: Silavin

Safety and a peace of mind were something everyone sought. But the key point was, Lu Fan did not feel like he lacked any security…

Shadow City was already in an extremely remote Black Sand Sea, where ordinarily no Players and Monsters would set foot.

At the same time, Shadow Isle also had Shadow Mist and Storm Dragon Breath, two natural Territory Defensive Measures. Even a Level 100 expert would find it difficult to break through. Even if they got in, Shadow Isle still had countless Monsters, among which were even Level 95 Epic Grade Boss (Equivalent to Diamond Grade) – Shadow Dragon Human King.

With so many layers of protection, did Lu Fan really need to live in a fortress?

[It is possible, but ultimately unnecessary…]

Lu Fan was about to discuss with Marozov that perhaps they should build an ordinary villa for him instead.

However, Marozov first pointed at a cannon barrel-shaped design on top of the Shadow Fortress on the blueprint and said. “Mr. Lu, actually there’s another reason for building your residence with a Shadow Fortress. Only a Shadow Fortress can mount this Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon.”

Lu Fan was stunned, then frowned and asked. “What… what Magic Crystal Cannon?!”

“Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon.” Marozov repeated, also understanding that Lu Fan seemed unfamiliar with items like Magic Crystal Cannons.

He patiently explained. “The reason why we senior Engineers are highly valued by each nation is fundamentally because we can manufacture military machines, such as battleships, aircraft, heavy artillery and other Heavy Damage Dealing Machineries. You should be aware of this, right, Mr. Lu?”

Lu Fan nodded.

Marozov continued. “Magic Crystal Cannons are also a type of Heavy Damage Dealing Machinery. Such items are also classified by Grade, like with weapon and equipment Grades. As for power, they far exceed the Skills that Players can release on their own. For example, the Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon we plan to install for you on Shadow Isle, if everything goes according to plan, should be of Epic Grade. Each Epic Grade Magic Crystal Cannon has a range of about one thousand kilometres. Placing it in the centre of Shadow Isle is enough to cover the entire island. It would even encompass most of the surrounding seas as well. Do note that a single shot from this cannon can easily obliterate a Fourth Profession Player.”

After hearing this, Lu Fan was shocked. [A range of one thousand kilometres!? Is this a cannon or a missile!?]

At this rate, if anyone really wanted to enter Shadow Isle from the outside, once they entered the Storm Dragon Breath area, one could simply use the Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon to blast them and be done with it!

Under the dual bombardment of the Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon and the Storm Dragon Breath, who could possibly land on Shadow Isle!?

Seeing that Lu Fan seemed quite interested in this Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon, Marozov’s face revealed a hint of pride as he added. “An Epic Grade Magic Crystal Cannon is the most powerful and wide-ranging Engineering Machinery in my arsenal. It’s perfectly suited to be built at the very centre of your Territory. With it in place, even if there’s no one on the island, you can eliminate any outsiders attempting to enter your Territory through the Magic Crystal Cannon.”

“Of course, this type of Magic Crystal Cannon also consumes an enormous amount of energy, so I’ve made adjustments to it. On Shadow Isle, there are Shadow Stone Mines. The so-called Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon would consume Shadow Stones for energy to launch attacks. This way, the Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon can be fully powered using Shadow Isle’s own resources.”

After hearing this, Lu Fan was honestly quite tempted. After all, when it came to Territorial Defence, who would think too many was a bad thing?

Lu Fan carefully examined the design of the entire Shadow Isle again and discovered that there was not just one Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon!

Throughout various locations on Shadow Isle, there were a total of 21 Shadow Magic Crystal Cannons hidden!

Among these 21 Shadow Magic Crystal Cannons, only the one on the Shadow Fortress was of Epic Grade. The other Magic Crystal Cannons were merely Platinum Grade.

Even at Platinum Grade, one Magic Crystal Cannon was enough to severely injure a Fourth Profession Player.

21 Magic Crystal Cannons with firepower covering almost the entire Shadow Isle would make it an impregnable fortress!

At the same time, there were also some very complex walls erected on the coastlines where landing was easy.

According to Marozov, his design would make Lu Fan’s Territory an absolute fortress, even capable of resisting an attack from the entire military of a medium-sized country!

Lu Fan truly came to appreciate the formidable nature of the combat-oriented Feather Country. Originally he just wanted a holiday resort, but instead of a resort, he got a steel fortress!

However, as a man, Lu Fan was quite interested in this type of Territory. Therefore, after confirming that there were no issues with Marozov’s design, Lu Fan agreed to let his team begin construction according to this blueprint.

Simultaneously, the first thing Lu Fan asked them to build was a Transport Array from Shadow Isle to Dragon Capital University’s Dungeon Hall.

Because the third floor of the Transport Array in the Dragon Capital University’s Dungeon Hall was essentially Lu Fan’s private Dungeon Hall, where all the Dungeon Instance Transport Arrays awarded to him by Dragon Country had been established.

In a few days, Dragon Capital University would be on holiday, and Lu Fan would return to Jianghai City. At that time, it would be difficult for him to run Dungeon Instances. But if he could reach Dragon Capital University directly from Shadow Isle, everything would be made extremely convenient.

Even if Lu Fan was in Jianghai City, he could return to Dragon Capital University at any time, and then use Dragon Capital University as a stepping stone to enter Dungeons and Level Up by clearing Dungeon Instances.

Not to mention, building a Transport Array was completely trivial for a senior Engineer like Marozov.

Marozov promised Lu Fan that it would only take about three days for the Transport Array from Shadow Isle to Dragon Capital University’s Dungeon Hall to be completed.

Lu Fan was quite satisfied with this and promptly granted Territory Access, allowing Marozov to enter Shadow Isle.

At the same time, Lu Fan also left a Transport Array to Shadow Isle, so that Marozov could return to Shadow Isle at any time to continue construction.

Conservatively estimated, the entire construction of Shadow Isle would take between three months to half a year. During this period, Marozov would stay in Dragon Capital, continuously working on the construction until completion, before leaving Dragon Country.

As for the construction costs, Andrei’s Family had already paid for Lu Fan, so Lu Fan did not need to worry about it at all.

After sorting out this matter, Lu Fan was in high spirits. He also knew that he could not be idle in the meantime.

While waiting to welcome his brand-new Shadow Isle, he needed to work hard to Level Up and reach Level 60 soon to undergo his Third Profession Change.

Lu Fan was already impatient to know exactly what the special characteristic a Blade Armour Dragon King had which made them so special. How could he, with a Blade Armour Dragon King, dominate in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm?
