Pillar of Yita

For instance, Fairy Iron must be obtained and forged into shape under extremely low temperatures. To handle such materials, one needs to artificially create such extreme environments.

In the past, extracting this type of material often required the collaboration of an Elementalist skilled in Ice Magic, requiring two people to complete the task.

But in the year 341, Alchemists from the Osh Empire invented the ’Low Temperature Chamber’; later, the Emerald Bird Workshop further improved it and invented the ’Elemental Workshop’ based on it.

This allowed Alchemists to independently extract and produce such metals.

However, the series of equipment required for the ’Low Temperature Chamber’ would take up the space of at least two cabins if placed on a ship.

Of course, Fang Hong doesn’t need such an advanced Alchemy Laboratory at the moment — but this is just an example, as Eteliria hosts a variety of magical animals and plants, and various minerals.

To handle these things, specialized venues and equipment are necessary. Luo Hao’s point was simple: the cabins on the ’Seven Seas Voyager’ should prioritize the needs of Alchemy.

His reasoning was also very sound: ”Having such an excellent Alchemist as the Captain is a blessing for our team. Because an Alchemist not only enhances themselves but can also enhance everyone. I think everyone should understand this, right?”

On this point, besides Parker’s slight dissent, most people agreed. Meanwhile, the Papalarians believed they were actually the key to the team.

According to them, a Dragon Slaying Nightingale deserves respect.

But Fang Hong didn’t participate in this discussion.

In his plans, the ’Seven Seas Voyager’ would be about twenty-one meters long and five meters wide, with two layers of cabins in addition to the bottom cabin and the upper deck.

If there’s no cannon deck, it would be much larger than the space on Mr. Greyrock’s back platform.

The cabins on Mr. Greyrock’s back platform numbered twelve or so, while the ’Seven Seas Voyager’ should have about twice that number.

Plus, the superstructure cabins would add even more. Even excluding essential living quarters, the lift cabin section, anchor room, winch cabin, and chart room, there would still be over a dozen cabins that could be arranged at Fang Hong’s discretion.

Moving everything onto the ship is naturally impossible, but with careful planning, it’s actually not short on space.

He glanced around at everyone gathered around the table — various designs scattered everywhere, with Tianlan waving a sheet — and he knew well that everyone was just a bit excited because they were finally getting their own ship.

Even Luo Hao and Luo Yu couldn’t escape this sentiment.

Only Xiangzi was crouched to the side, talking to a seabird — both staring at each other for quite some time now.

Fang Hong then turned his attention back to the open Light Pages before him, filled with densely packed community posts, while Miss Tata flew around helping him find useful information.

Nini also pretended to help, but the little girl was really just making a mess.

In fact, she couldn’t understand the contents at all, but kept scrolling down the Light Pages with her hands, thinking it was quite fun.

What Fang Hong was focusing on were the buying and selling posts in the community.

This natural flow of information, disregarding geographical distances, naturally presented business opportunities that the Invokers wouldn’t overlook.

Before Super Competitive was even born, various trading markets naturally formed themselves in the community, facilitating not only material and equipment exchanges but even information.

Fang Hong naturally wanted to buy two things from there.

Witch’s Claw and forty-nine grains of wheat.

Witch’s Claw was easily available, a specialty of Scepter Coast, with plenty of sales postings in the community. He found someone willing to send it for the lowest discount as long as he paid for the shipping.

Understanding the community trading rules, Fang Hong immediately signed a contract with the other party.

But the forty-nine grains of wheat were not so easy.

He asked around, and only found one Druid from Giant Tree Hill who had such items. However, the person was neither an Invoker from the Third District nor had any concrete delivery methods due to the distance.

So he had to give up.

After browsing for a while with Miss Tata, he found nothing helpful.

Fang Hong somewhat helplessly flipped back, returning to the hot post section, hoping to catch any noteworthy news.

It seemed that ever since he left the Southern Region, his awareness of news from Colin Ishurian had decreased significantly.

After the battle of Fanric, what the situation in the Southern Region was like, and whether there had been any changes in Dulun, were all unknown to him.

But at a glance, a post caught his attention.

He found that someone was discussing him.

The post was about the Fanric battle. Honestly, the content was somewhat outdated, without updates on his adventures in Idus — though he doubted that many people knew he had been there.

Still, Fang Hong originally intended to check how people assessed him in the Fanric battle — as a young man, he naturally had vanity.

He himself held the battle in high regard, having controlled a Dragon Knight and repelled Nikopolas; surely, this was quite a legendary event?

Yet Fang Hong didn’t expect that upon clicking into the post, he would almost explode with rage.

An ID named GKD7124 was in the main reply, expressing harsh opinions about him:

’In my opinion, it’s just average. Don’t forget that the real fighters against Nikopolas weren’t this so-called ’Dragon Slaying Alchemist,’ but the masters from the Elfendo Council.’

’Without the masters’ calculative power help, could he have controlled the Dragon Knight? It’s merely a shortcut; it’s not as impressive as you all make it out to be.’

’More importantly, your so-called Dragon Slaying Alchemist, did he really slay a dragon? With so many people’s help, he only managed to drive Nikopolas away; how did that become a feat of dragon slaying in your mouths?’

’I say, did you guys draft your boasting beforehand?’
