Behind him, Madeline took the [Scorpion Horn Battle Bow] and at the same time handed the Strike Ranger standard longbow she was carrying to her sister.
This was a reward from the lord, and they could not refuse it, let alone bargain for it.
Marpel's expression was very calm, and she showed a reassuring smile to Madeline.
He placed his original excellent-level battle bow on the small round table in the living room.
Naturally, he took the war bow from his sister.
Strength represents a tilt in resources, and the two sisters have long been mentally prepared for this.
I had already thought about this situation when I decided to own the advanced book, so Mapel seems very calm now.
The characters of the two sisters have been tested for a long time, and they are also the first people in the territory to reach the Loyalty Max.
They are also among the few people who can live in the lord's small building.
According to Zong Shen's plan, the advanced book can only be regarded as an appetizer to improve their strength. Zong Shen's ultimate goal is to have the opportunity to make them into heroic figures in the future.
In this way, the territory's long-range shooter troops can be led by Vereesa, Madeline, and Mapel.
From the current point of view, the two Madeleine sisters obviously still lack some firepower.
This is true regardless of their bow skills or all aspects of experience, but the two girls are still very motivated and often take the initiative to ask Vereesa about bow shooting skills in their spare time.
Zong Shen turned around and focused his attention on the long table again.
The second rare weapon is a black steel finger tiger, which is a very rare weapon.
However, this thing also has its characteristics and advantages. You can equip one with one fist, giving both fists powerful attack capabilities.
I just drew a [Fighter's Finger Tiger (Purple)] from the previous points blind box, and now I got another one from the Winter Treasure Box, which can be used to equip both fists at the same time. In some cases, the fists have to be
More useful than a sword.
This finger tiger is matte black all over, has four finger buttons, and the striking part has spikes that are one knuckle long.
It seems to be more lethal than the previous finger tiger. After all, that finger tiger belongs to a female boxing fighter and looks smaller.
Zong Shen put the Zhihu in his hand, and after lightly making a fist, the spikes on the striking part shone with black light. With his strength combined with the punch Zhihu, he might be able to crush the prairie wolf's skull with one punch.
.
The Zhihu is not light in weight and feels heavy in the hand.
Let the fleshy fist turn into a deadly hammer head in an instant.
[Punch Fist Pointing to Tiger (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Bludgeon damage: 63～67]
[Durability: 350]
[Attack speed: 10%]
[Skill: Punch lv20 (Select a target within ten meters to launch a punching attack. It can cross the distance between the two in a short time and throw out a heavy punch, causing 1.8 times the damage to the target. Cooldown
time 30 minutes)
Passive skill: Fist Fighting lv5 (bludgeoning damage increased by 10 points when fighting with boxing skills)]
(The finger tigers made of black meteorite heavy steel are just like the saying of beating the master to death with random punches. Now you have two finger tigers, which are more deadly than swords in close combat)
Zong Shen took the Zhihu off his hand, put it into the storage compartment, and added it to the list of spare weapons.
His own storage compartment basically contains his regular props, precious items, and spare weapons.
These things alone take up most of the grid, so Zong Shenhui often spends his skill points on the [Item Management] skill.
The next rare item is an architectural blueprint.
[Shadow Pool Construction Map (Purple)]
[Quality: Rare and special undead building]
[Requirements: Pool of Shadows Construction Diagram x1]
[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]
[Occupied area: 314 square meters]
[Sturdiness value: 4800]
[Building Armor:55]
[Effect: Shadow Condensation (automatically absorbs the surrounding shadow energy and necromantic energy into shadow pool water, the condensation speed will depend on the surrounding environment)
Skeleton transformation (put the skeleton into the shadow pool, absorb varying amounts of shadow pool water, give birth to soul fire, and turn it into an undead creature. The length of the skeleton must not exceed 20 meters. The maximum strength level after transformation is the commander level
)
Undead healing (undead and undead creatures can soak in the shadow pool and consume a certain amount of shadow pool water to repair body damage and injuries)】
(The shadow pool is a necessary building for cultivating the undead army. It is recommended to place it far away from the territory to avoid the negative impact of high-intensity shadow energy on living creatures)
The special building of the undead, a rare item in the drawing, is also a good building that can transform bones into undead creatures, and can also heal the injuries of the undead.
This building will come in handy after gaining control of the Boneyard in the future.
It will come in handy now. After Zong Shen plans to increase the level of his territory, he will first place the Shadow Pool on the edge of the northern territory.
It is close to the Bone Burial Ground and can absorb shadow energy and undead death energy more quickly.
Just in the past two days, many ice beasts guarding the winter treasure chests have been killed.
Their carcasses were brought back to the territory, and are now being piled in the open space in the territory and frozen, waiting for further processing after the winter is over.
Zong Shen also doesn't know what kind of bones are needed for the transformation of shadow's bones.
If the transformed skeleton is to remain intact, it may be difficult.
It would be much easier if you only need to put in the separated bones.
Zong Shen estimated that it was the former, because all normal undead souls were transformed from relatively complete skeletons over hundreds of years.
The shadow pool just speeds up this transformation process.
The specific details will need to be tested in due course.
The prey animals handled in the territory have always been skinned, chopped into pieces, and separated from their internal organs.
The bones and muscles will be chopped into pieces, except for the large pieces of lean meat and fat on the waist, abdomen, shoulders, back, and limbs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It may not be easy to find some complete corpses.
Therefore, Zong Shen considered leaving the corpses of the ice beasts behind, trying to ensure that the flesh, flesh and bones were intact.
After making up his mind, Zong Shen put the drawing away.
This is a complete building built from a picture. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to get it again in the future.
The last prop left is a palm-sized brass bottle with a narrow neck.
There are still dark spots left on the bottle after oxidation, making it look like a broken bottle that hasn't been used for many years.
There is no inscription on the whole body, but there is a square imprint about the size of a thumb joint on the bottom of the bottle.
This mark has been somewhat blurred, the scratches appear to be of different shades, and its shape is almost impossible to discern.
Just such a small bottle has an extraordinary effect.
[Soul-absorbing Copper Bottle (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Soul absorbing (after killing the target, the chance of obtaining the soul is 8%)]
(An ancient copper bottle that can absorb souls may be able to increase the explosion rate of soul-like items)
This is a prop with a very simple function. Its only function is to increase the probability of obtaining souls to a certain extent.
The 8% base probability is of little use because the soul output rate is already very low.
After the novice period ended, Zong Shen only received some low-quality or incomplete souls. He had not received any purple souls for a long time.
As a high-level material, it is also a special item that can improve the qualifications of non-heroic units.
The territory currently has a big gap for high-level souls. Colby, Farvid, Tasia, Aysia, and even the two ranger sisters all need to further strengthen their qualifications.
For this reason, Zong Shen specially left a [Hero Emblem]
Some rare-level high-end buildings also require purple complete souls as materials.
However, it is unclear how useful this bronze bottle can be.
When it comes to probability, who can say for sure? At present, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
At this point, the items in the last four winter treasure chests have been sorted out.
It's only a minute or two before twelve o'clock noon.
Through the windows covered by ice shells, you can see that it has begun to clear up outside.
The pale golden sunlight penetrates the layers of obstacles and shines into the house.
Just seeing such brilliance, you can feel an inexplicable warmth.
The matter of the Serpent's Eye was handled by Vereesa and Luna. Zong Shen sat at the long table and began to quietly wait for the time-stop state to arrive.
The challenge of winter is coming to an end before you know it.
When the time reached twelve o'clock at noon, the white light occupied the field of vision almost instantly, and the time-stop state remained as before.
[Winter Challenge has been going on for 96 hours]
[End of the third phase of winter]
[You will receive a total of 2,400 basic survival points at this stage]
[Number of casualties in the territory: 0]
[Winter Challenge Officially Ends]
[The challenge points redemption mall will be opened and will last for 24 hours]
[The announcement of a new round of challenges will appear in 72 hours and will open in 96 hours]
[The timeout will last for five minutes, and Legion 1.1 rules will be updated after two minutes]
[After the time stop ends, the winter treasure chest, small icebergs, ice beasts, and winter snow monsters will disappear instantly]
[The snow and freezing conditions caused by the cold winter will gradually disappear within two hours]
This timeout is very special. In addition to the announcement indicating the end of the challenge, there will also be an announcement about the update of the legion rules later.
This marks that the development of the global legion has entered a new stage, and the lord system will also dynamically adjust the subsequent rules of the legion based on the actual situation.
Before the Winter Challenge, a countdown appeared in the [Legion] function, which heralded a new round of rule updates.
After the pause lasted for two minutes, the announcement about the end of the challenge disappeared.
New announcements are slowly emerging.
These are the changes to the [Legion] rules.
[Legion Rules Version 1.1 Update]
[1: Lift the restriction that the recruitment range of legion members is linked to the level of the legion leader’s territory
The current recruitment range of legion members has been adjusted to the scope of this region]
[2: In order to deal with the serious overlapping of territory ranges, each legion member will be given an opportunity to move the territory as a whole within the region]
[3: When the legion level reaches lv3, the [Legion Building] function will be unlocked]
[4: After the first thousand-man legion appears in the whole domain, the 1.2 version of the rules will be activated, and this legion will also receive the supreme honor]
[5: The legion leader has a chance to randomly relocate the territory of legion members
After random migration, it will appear in the corresponding unowned area in the area.
The legion commander can authorize this function to the deputy legion commander]
[6: Turn on the legion merging function. As long as the legion leaders of both sides and more than half of the legion members are unified, the legion fusion can be turned on. The corresponding legion level progress will be merged. It must be ensured that the upper limit of the number of people in one legion can accommodate the total number of members of both legions]
[The above is all the updated rules of Legion 1.1]
[Please work hard to maintain development. Sixty days after the launch, the area will undergo the first preliminary adjustment. This adjustment will last from 4 to 12 hours with a global timeout]
[The second adjustment will be carried out one hundred and fifty days after the landing, and this adjustment will last for 6 to 18 hours with a global timeout]
[The above adjustments will take into account the development of the legions in each region, the number of dead lords and freedman lords who have lost their territories, and re-adjust the total number and distribution range of lords in the region]
[Specific details, detailed stage announcements will be made at that time]
The system prompts ended abruptly.
There are actually only a few rule changes in version 1.1 of Legion.
This time the rules are updated just to deal with the increasingly prominent territorial conflicts between legion members.
Take Zong Shen as an example. According to the territory level, his territory is a circular area with a diameter of 16 kilometers, covering a full 200.96 square kilometers of land.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The size of this territory is not “small” in any way.
But the actual use of territory is not like this, because according to the rules of [Legion] 1.0, only lords within the territory of the legion leader can be recruited as legion members.
This resulted in Zong Shen's territory being almost entirely populated by his own people, with forty or fifty people living in the 200.96 square kilometers of land.
These legion members invisibly squeezed Zong Shen's territory.
This problem will not break out in a short period of time, but as the members of the legion, including Zong Shen himself, continue to develop, conflicts are always brewing.
Now with the emergence of new rules, this problem will be effectively alleviated.
Because there were not even 7,000 lords in the area from the original 10,000 to now.
They either died from challenges, or died from wild monsters, ruin traps, indigenous people, fighting with each other, disease, accidents...
In this world, there are too many factors that can kill lords.
In addition to death, those lords' courtyards were destroyed, and the free people who lost their territories would also lose their "lord" status.
In other words, there is currently 30% to 35% more vacant land in the area than when it was first launched.
In addition, the subsequent recruitment of legion members is not restricted by territorial boundaries.
It is foreseeable that the future will be a period of great development and integration of legions in the region, and both internal cooperation and external competition among legions will be highlighted.
In addition, this announcement also gives the time for two regional adjustments.
It seems that there will be two large-scale adjustments sixty days after the launch and one hundred and fifty days after the launch.
We won’t know the specific situation until we see the detailed announcement.
Because the lord system has not yet reached a conclusion, it needs to make final adjustments based on the situation at that time.
Zong Shen looked at the announcement subtitles and fell into deep thought. He was used to thinking and speculating about every rule change.
Legion development will be crucial in the coming period.
He was originally planning to take the lone ranger route, because for Zong Shen, the advantages gained by joining a group were very limited and not as obvious as those of ordinary lords.
In short, with the help of the strategy module, he can do very well on his own, and he can always maintain a high-speed development progress.
The reason why he founded the legion was not out of subjective will, but out of the general trend.
Obviously, the lord system has launched the [Legion] function to force lords to cooperate and form a team.
Under such circumstances, if Zong Shen went against him, he would easily miss a great opportunity for development.
No matter how powerful the Lone Ranger is, it still needs the same long development time as other lords.
Facing the grouped lords, how much can the strong Lone Ranger resist? One thousand? Five thousand? Or ten thousand?
Even if a lord only has a few dozen warriors, they can form a group of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Can you stop it?
It is the selfishness of human nature that requires the [Legion] as a link.
Based on the rules of the lord system, an absolute iron-clad red line is drawn up.
Zong Shen is not a fool. He doesn't want to go against the lord system. This is their game, and everyone is just a fish in the river.
When you are not qualified to get out of the river, you have to obey the rules.
Secondly, there is another very important factor, that is, the development of the legion actually has a minimal impact on Zong Shen's personal development.
And since he has Jiang Yi as his agent, he doesn't need to waste time on the chores of legion development.
At present, relevant gain content has begun to appear in the legion, which means that the lord system is encouraging competition and development of the legion.
This is the real general trend. Zong Shen must not only play, but also play well and play well.
In addition to the above-mentioned situations, Zong Shen also saw one thing, and that was the changes brought about by the winter period.
It is not only in the Salander Sultanate in the southern part of the continent that there are signs of indigenous interference.
Similar situations have occurred in many areas across the continent. Perhaps the aborigines have not intervened yet, but they must have discovered many strange situations among the lords.
Of course, judging from the current situation, the fuse has just been lit.
It will take a long time before it spreads to the entire continent until it finally detonates. It also depends on whether the subsequent lord system will come up with any tricks.
Based on the results of the challenge, as well as Chen Rui's words and some of the information mentioned in the strategy tips, Zong Shen has reason to believe that the interference of the lord system is still the reason.
It brings the winter challenge forward and relaxes the restrictions on confidentiality, which is also a change and trial.
So what are the variables that change the lord system?
All this is an unknown mystery.
However, some clues have been vaguely formed.
He thought quietly.
By the time he came back to his senses, the pause state had ended.
