Commence construction.
Light surged up in an instant.
After ten minutes.
The light dispersed, and a semi-underground dungeon appeared in front of Fang Hao.
The construction itself was built underground.
The top protruded ten centimeters above the ground, with two narrow windows at the front and back.
These windows allowed for ventilation and brief exposure to sunlight.
Construction completed.
Fang Hao went down the stairs into it.
The dim corridor was lined with individual cells, four in total.
Constructed from stone walls and metal iron bars, it looked very robust.
Escape would be extraordinarily difficult with guards posted.
In each cell, various torture instruments were hung; there were iron shackles, whips, and some tools with uses that Fang Hao knew, even though he didn’t know their names.
Though the Blood Prison was only Level 1…
There were no actual prisoners in his territory, so there was no rush to upgrade it.
Upgrades would be made when necessary.
After a quick inspection, Fang Hao left the Blood Prison.
After arriving back at the castle.
The sky overhead abruptly darkened.
A giant Bone Dragon arrived over the territory and dove straight down.
With a gust of wind, it landed in front of the castle.
Following that, the massive spider body, the Spider Fateweaver – Domina, climbed down from its back.
Domina was a demon spider, and her body was quite sizable.
The upper half of her body resembled a woman, while the giant spider form of her lower half was still dreadfully unsettling.
“L-Lord,” Domina stumbled as she staggered forward.
Her sharp spider legs clacked against the stone pavement.
The normally flat, solid ground was left with pockmarks and cracks as if it had been punctured by a sharp sword.
“Domina, have you been drinking?,” Fang Hao curiously asked.
“No, it’s my first time riding a Bone Dragon. I’m a bit dizzy,” Domina replied. Her massive body then lay directly on the ground.
Ah, it seemed she was experiencing the aftereffects of flying on the Bone Dragon.
Fang Hao and his maids had experienced similar sensations of weakness in their limbs during their first ride on the Bone Dragon.
“You should take a moment to recover.”
After a brief rest, Domina was back to normal.
She got up again and moved around slowly in a clacking manner. She controlled her strength carefully so she wouldn’t fracture the pavement.
It was like she was wearing high heels and walking across a floor.
“Master, I have brought a gift for you,” Domina removed a giant white silk cocoon from the back of the Bone Dragon.
The white cocoon was elongated and oval, wrapped in cobweb silk.
Fang Hao frowned slightly at the sight of the cocoon.
Had they captured a person along the way and brought him here like this?
The person inside must be suffocating.
Before Fang Hao could ask, Domina cut open the silk with her sharp legs.
A crashing sound rang out!
Along with the torn silk, a large pile of gold coins and gemstones fell onto the ground.
“What is this…?”
Fang Hao relieved when he realized there wasn’t a person inside. He hadn’t expected Domina and her group to use this method to transport money.
“Master, we’ve had some deals with nearby villages and saved some gold coins,” Domina said, looking at Fang Hao with hopeful eyes.
Fang Hao glanced at the coins on the ground, then back at Domina.
He understood what she was thinking.
He nodded, “Alright, I’ll accept it. You won’t need to worry about the Hero Test either. I have it all planned out.”
He turned his head to look in the distance.
The maids were hiding behind the door, curiously peeking over here.
They were filled with fascination and wariness at the sight of this giant spider woman.
“Move the money into the castle,” Fang Hao directed.
“Oh, alright,” one of the maids responded. They proceeded to transport the cocoon money-bag, teeming with coins and gemstones, together.
Fang Hao turned back to Domina, asking, “Do you want to rest a bit or start the Hero Test right away?”
“If possible, I’d like to take the Hero Test,” she answered.
“Alright, come with me.”
Fang Hao led Domina to the Merit Training Grounds.
As they walked, he casually explained the architectural style and characteristics of the city to her.
Domina stared in awe at the grand scale and order of the city, much like how Fang Hao felt when he first saw the spider-web dwelling that she had constructed.
They passed through the city to its center.
Various statues, the Merit Training Ground, and Hero Altar had been erected here.
They stood in front of the Merit Training Ground.
Domina was at Tier 10, and if she passed the Hero Test, she would officially become a Hero.
“Are you ready?” Fang Hao took out a Hero Heart and a hundred Warfire Coins from his inventory.
The Merit Training Ground was designed for Hero Tests and upgrades.
Since its establishment, Fang Hao had learned quite a bit about it.
The training ground was only for Heroes; weapons and armor couldn’t be brought in.
This rule prevented people from getting ahead by relying on their equipment.
Domina’s face reddened slightly, whether from nervousness or excitement, Fang Hao couldn’t tell.
“I’m ready, Master.”
“Alright, let’s begin. Stay calm,” Fang Hao advised, as he took two steps back.
“Yes, Master.”
Domina stepped into the training ground.
A gentle light enveloped her, and in the next second, her entire body disappeared from Fang Hao’s sight.
At the same time, Fang Hao received a system notification.
[The “Merit Training Ground” in the main territory is conducting a Hero Test.]
Another notification arrived.
However, there were no options or further instructions.
It seemed the notification was merely informative.
Time ticked away.
Fang Hao checked his watch; twelve minutes had passed.
He couldn’t help but worry. Would she fail?
According to Domina, she had been at Tier 10 for some time and had fought a few battles with the Gnolls. She shouldn’t fail.
After another five to six minutes, another announcement came.
[Military unit the Spider Fateweaver has successfully completed the Hero Test and has been promoted to Hero unit Fateweaver – Domina.]
[Slave Contract has been automatically upgraded to Hero Contract.]
Seeing these notifications, Fang Hao let out a sigh of relief.
Domina had succeeded.
A green light appeared from the altar again.
Domina’s figure reappeared in front of Fang Hao, but this time, she wasn’t a massive spider but a tall woman standing two meters tall.
Her long, slender legs and buttocks were wrapped in black, chitinous armor that extended up to her upper body, covering her rather voluptuous chest. On her smooth back were four pairs of black spider legs. They were slim, glossy, and sharp as a sword at their ends.
“Master, I successfully ascended to be a Hero and didn’t let down your expectations,” Domina, now kneeling on one knee, said with a joyful face.
This was not only because she had met Fang Hao’s expectations…
But she had also fulfilled her long-held ambition.
[Loyalty of Fateweaver – Domina towards you increased by 5 points, current Loyalty: 78.]
Upon successfully becoming a Hero, her Loyalty also rose by 5 points.
Loyalty was incredibly important.
Even though a Hero Contract was already in effect.
