I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

This... this...

If I don't hold onto the big thigh now, when should I?

The most important thing is, the invitation received by the Feis Kingdom nobles still marks Lis as Duke Kane.

This means that even after becoming a Legendary Strongman, Lis doesn't intend to leave the Feis Kingdom.

This made the nobles have no worries anymore.

The birth of a new legend, and the esteemed status of Duke Kane, all the nobles without exception want to participate, they are just troubled about what congratulatory gifts to prepare.

However, Lis doesn't have the time to worry about these things now. He has a new task at hand.

"Lis!"

Taya jogged a few steps and threw herself into Lis's arms.

Recently, Taya had been learning to handle the kingdom's affairs.

Even though there is a teleportation channel connected to Danerluo Port, making travel very convenient, Taya still couldn't find the time to come over for a few days.

Finally, the kingdom's matters took a break, and when Lis was about to hold the celebration for achieving legend, Taya rushed over as soon as she could.

Avin, on the other hand, stayed in Bright City, having already offered his congratulations and didn't come to join the buzz.

Feeling the sudden impact from Taya's forward armor, Lis spun around a few times with Taya in his arms before putting her down.

"You came over so quickly?"

Lis looked at Taya and said with a smile.

"Of course, I missed you!"

Taya buried her head in Lis's chest, her voice muffled.

"Alright, alright, let me take you for a stroll in Danerluo Port."

Lis ruffled Taya's red hair, his lips curling into a slight smile.

At the celebration announcing his achievement of legend, he had prepared for the Kane Floating City to reappear before the entire Gaia World.

This wasn't a decision Lis made just to show off. The preparations leading up to this had been quite thorough.

The many precious extraordinary resources Lis obtained from the Feis Kingdom, Church of the Gods, and Elf Kingdom had all been thrown into the Floating City.

Even though Lis had achieved legend, the sheer amount of resources still made his heart ache, leaving him empty-handed.

But as always, investment comes with returns. In the day and night maintenance and reconstruction by the Black Cat over this period, the main buildings of the Floating City had been repaired, and the surrounding floating islands rebuilt.

This means that now, from the outside, the Kane Floating City looked as good as new.

Of course, repairing these parts didn't consume much resources. The main issue was maintaining the operation of the Floating City's various magic array patterns and facilities.

However, with the addition of massive resources, the self-defense magic barrier and elemental magic crystal cannon of the Kane Floating City had been restored and could be used normally.

This meant that as long as the Kane Floating City did not face the scenario of being besieged by the Church of the Gods as it did countless years ago, no team-up of legends could do anything to the Floating City.

But similarly, many parts of the Kane Floating City had aged over countless years and needed replacement and repair, which required not only more resources but also a long time.

At least in the short term, Lis couldn't keep the Kane Floating City in a state of prolonged load-bearing attack, as this would further deteriorate the already not-so-good status of the Floating City.

But this was already good news. At least the self-maintenance module of the Kane Floating City hadn't failed. As long as Lis invested resources, it could self-update and repair.

Otherwise, Lis might have to get his hands dirty and repair the Floating City bit by bit himself.

That could take an unimaginable amount of time.

And because the Kane Floating City had the ability for self-defense, Lis decided to let the Kane Floating City appear in front of everyone.

After all, as the ultimate crystallization of wisdom for mages, the Floating City's appeal to mages was unimaginable.

As long as the news of Lis owning a Floating City spread, many mage professionals would come to the Duke Kane's Domain to pledge loyalty to Lis, just to gain the chance to board the Floating City.

Lis lacked mage professionals under his command, and announcing the Floating City early was beneficial for quickly getting it into a positive operational cycle.

Besides, this also had great attraction for Lis in recruiting players.

Although for many players, the Floating City didn't bring direct benefits, yet...

How cool is the Floating City!

Having something that others don't, just being able to take a tour on the Floating City is a bragging right.

After boarding the Floating City, why not take a stroll in the player shop Lis prepared and spend some experience gold coins to buy some good things?

Lis had already prepared a complete plan to reap the benefits, just waiting for the fresh players to deliver themselves!

As for the appearance of the Floating City possibly attracting coveters, Lis wasn't overly worried.

Not to mention that his current strength certainly surpassed that of Risa in the previous life, his current lineup was also much stronger than Risa's.

Lis, Taya, and Joyce were all in Danerluo Port, and besides, the Legendary Monk Avin from Bright City could rush over at any time.

There was also the Elf Legend [Fierce Arrow] Rosde who stayed obediently in his territory, simply unbeatable!

If it were still the [Magic Master] Fuke Sheffield from the past life, forget about chasing him away, Lis would prepare to take him down on the spot!

So, Lis wasn't worried about a legend invading. He would welcome another legend for the chance to gain accolades.

Anyway, the true strong among the legends wouldn't target him for the Floating City, since he had [Judgement Flame] backing him up!

It's just been a long time since there's been any news of Mr. Stephens. Even when Lis transmitted the news of his achievement of legend, there was no response from his teacher.

However, with Stephens' strength, there was no need for Lis to worry.

Lis then roamed around Danerluo Port preparing for the celebration with Taya.

This bustling port city, usually full of life and noise, at this moment was shrouded in an unprecedentedly festive atmosphere. As the celebration approached, the entire city felt as if imbued with magic of joy, every corner brimming with cheer and anticipation.

Bright flags fluttered like ribbons on the rooftops lining the streets, dancing gently in the wind, their vibrant colors emblazoned with the eagle emblem representing the Kane family.

Countless carts, filled with vegetables and alcohol, rumbled towards the city. The cargo piled high, the fresh fruits and vegetables emanated seductive aromas, making mouths water. The barrels of drinks in the carts clanked joyfully, seemingly setting the prelude for the celebration's joyous songs.

The residents woke up early, picking up tools to clean the streets voluntarily.

Smiles spread across their faces as they busied themselves, greeting one another, chatting about the celebration's various aspects. Children joined in too, picking up paper scraps and fallen leaves with their tiny hands. Though their strength wasn't much, their enthusiasm and earnestness inspired everyone around.

Most residents didn't understand the significance of being a legend, but they knew their lord was extremely powerful, providing them with a stable life.

Since Lis became the owner of Danerluo Port and even the Luou Peninsula, life for ordinary people greatly improved compared to under the Bodici Nobles, leading them, despite rarely seeing Lis, to feel grateful to this lord.

Lis bought a few skewers of grilled fish from a stall beside him and handed them to the slightly craving Taya.

Taya had never been to the seaside before and was quite interested in these port specialty foods, particularly intrigued by those exotic foods like grilled octopus, making it hard for her to move on.

Lis and Taya's appearances were too outstanding. To avoid drawing attention, Lis specifically cast a spell to lower their presence, allowing them to fully enjoy this rare leisure time.

As they were strolling through Danerluo Port to prepare for the legendary celebration, Risa noticed Lis and showed a happy expression.

"Lis!" Risa exclaimed with a happy face.

Then she saw Taya snuggling in Lis's arms and her expression changed with delight.

"Lis, we have to talk," she blurted.

Taya clenched her fist and looked at Lis with worry.

This...

Lis suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

But soon enough, they all moved on to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Danerluo Port as they prepared for the grand celebration commending Lis' rise to a legend.
