Chapter 514: Treasure chest exchange for equipment, the last passage [5K]
After all, the treasure chest does not seem to be indestructible to the lords.
Zong Shen has not done any specific experiments.
To be precise, he did not conduct experiments on unopened treasure chests.
What he knows most about is the treasure chest after opening it.
Based on his many box-opening experiences, once the treasure box is opened, it will turn into an ordinary box of the corresponding material, and there will be nothing special about it.
Whether it's black iron or bronze, silver or gold.
Once the treasure chests at these levels are opened, the remaining empty chests can be easily melted into materials.
The material represented by the gold treasure chest is fine gold, which can be regarded as a precious metal mineral.
But in the unopened state, he was really not sure.
If he used brute force to open the treasure chest, it would be a very embarrassing thing.
But Baron Bezos specifically called him to take action.
It's not easy for him to shirk anything.
He walked to the front and picked up a legendary knight's sword from the open space where the trophies were piled.
The length of this war sword is about 1.5 meters.
The width is inferior to that of the exaggerated dragon-slaying epee, but it can still be considered a great sword.
At least it is much wider than the one-handed long sword used by the fourth-level strong swordsman.
This is understandable, after all, those lion skeleton knights, even after losing their flesh and blood, still look tall and have incredibly strong bones.
You can imagine how tall they would have been when their bones were full.
This long sword has a mountain-shaped hilt.
Such a hilt can block long-handled weapons and gain a certain advantage in duels.
The hilt of the sword is thick and requires Zong Shen's hands to handle it.
There is a golden lion's head at the end.
Even after years, it still looks smooth and clean.
There are obvious casting lines in the middle of the sword body, and there is also the emblem of a lion's front paws stepping on a boulder and roaring.
This emblem represents the Knights of the Lion.
I have to mention it here, even though they are called the Knights of the Lion.
However, neither the past nor the current undead skeleton knights ride lions.
These lion knights still ride exotic war horses.
Able to wear plate armor and carry out high-speed charging and combat.
When Zong Shen observed their attributes before, he also checked the strength of the war horses.
They are all rare-level skeleton horses.
From this we can also see the strength of some war horses during their lifetime.
I saw Zong Shen holding the sword tightly with both hands and glancing around quickly.
[Golden Lion Riding War Sword (Orange)]
【One hand/Both hands】
[Quality: Legendary]
[Chopping damage: 82~85]
[Attack range: 150]
[Attack speed: -8%]
[Durability: 621]
[Strength required: 55]
[Skill: Lion Slash lv30 (emits three slashing arcs with a length of two meters, capable of sweeping a distance of 10 meters, causing 1.3 times of slashing damage to targets along the way, cooling time is 2 hours)
Lion Fight lv30 (When dismounted and fighting on foot, you will enter the Lion Fight state, concentration increased by 25%, slashing damage increased by 20%, armor increased by 25 points)】
(One of the standard equipment of the sixth-level Golden Lion Knight, the signature golden sword once traveled across the continent)
The attributes of this knight's battle sword are pretty good, better than the dragon-slaying heavy sword before it was repaired.
But it's still a step ahead of the repaired Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.
The general attributes are quite satisfactory among legendary weapons.
Zong Shen grabbed the war sword and went straight to the treasure chest.
He turned his head and looked at Baron Bezos.
After Baron Bezos nodded, he decisively took out the sword in his hand.
"Clang!"
Combining the war sword with Zong Shen's power, it can do at least three to four hundred points of damage.
It's a pity that the treasure chest didn't leave any trace.
At the same time, from his perspective, a number appeared on the treasure chest.
【4/5】
"What does this mean?"
"Can it be destroyed directly by attacking five more times?"
Zong Shen was puzzled, but he did not chop further.
Obviously this is a measure against the lords.
After five consecutive attacks, the treasure chest will be damaged.
This measure is to prevent the lord from using the treasure chest as a shield.
Although no one has the luxury to use treasure chests as shields at the moment.
But this move is undoubtedly a kind of insurance.
But in fact, treasure chests still have wonderful uses.
It can be used to defend against non-native attacks.
Other lords do not have such luxury, someone from his sect can do it.
This can be considered a small loophole.
Zong Shen decided to collect some black iron treasure chests if he had a chance.
Make these black iron treasure chests into a special shield car.
It will come in handy when there is a war with the indigenous people in the future.
As long as the lord system does not change the settings of the treasure chest, it can really play some unexpected roles.
I have to say that this idea still has some feasibility.
Other lords may regard the chest as a rare treasure.
Someone from his clan had already opened the box until he vomited.
Especially the black iron treasure chest is of almost no use to him.
After all, the black iron treasure chest can only produce sophisticated items at best.
Now his vision and family fortune are different, and only silver and gold can still be seen.
After he finished chopping, he took two steps back.
While thinking about how to use the properties of the treasure box, I acted like I was powerless.
"What kind of treasure chest is this?"
"It doesn't look like anyone can break it?"
"Does it require some magic token to open it?"
Baron Bezos saw with his own eyes that the sword struck by Zong Shen had no effect.
Finally gave up the means of violent destruction.
Just now he had asked the Master Zong Shen to take action.
Neither magic bullets nor magic arrows can cause effective damage.
Baron Bezos has been fooled.
It is definitely a rare treasure that can achieve such an effect.
Or it is a high-level magic storage box, which can be immune to most low-level attacks.
Or some strange ancient items.
No matter which one it is, it proves that this thing has a terrifying background.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Baron Bezos is also thinking about this.
Zong Shen stood aside and stuck the knight's sword on the ground.
He stared at the treasure chest with his eyes.
【Golden Treasure Chest】
[An unknown gold treasure chest, no one knows what can be found]
(Yes, this treasure chest is a trap, containing the fourth-level turbid wave tide magic. As soon as it is opened, a turbid wave almost one story high will rush out, filling the entire ruins crypt instantly)
Good guy, it’s still a trap treasure chest!
But this is also reasonable, because the gold he got in the ruins before was normal.
It seems that Baron Bezos is very interested in this invulnerable treasure chest.
To be honest, if only Zong Shen knew the origin of the treasure chest.
Just by looking at the external characteristics of the treasure chest, he would think it was a treasure.
Think about it, something is invulnerable, resistant to magic, and looks shiny and shiny, blinn blinn.
The golden treasure chest in front of him perfectly meets all the above requirements for Baron Bezos.
Secondly, just because the boxes are so impressive, the contents inside the boxes are absolutely unimaginable.
At this time Baron Bezos seemed to have made some kind of decision.
He turned around and looked at Zong Shen, but he hesitated to speak.
At this time, Zong Shen couldn't help but grin.
His expression was perfectly concealed under the battle helmet.
"What does Mr. Bezos want to say?"
"You might as well just say it."
"We are all here for you and me, and there are no outsiders."
Zong Shen raised the corners of his lips and said proactively.
Hearing him ask this, Baron Bezos' expression became much firmer.
"Brother Zong, can you give me this strange treasure box?"
"I want to take it to the giant city to study it."
"It has very magical properties..."
"I think……"
Baron Bezos said slowly, his tone still somewhat uneasy.
"oh?"
"I'm also very interested in this treasure chest."
Zong Shen said calmly.
Hearing what he said, Baron Bezos was confused.
Just by looking at the appearance, anyone who is not a fool would know that this golden treasure chest must be very precious.
It could not be opened temporarily, which made Baron Bezos even more imaginative.
In the past few minutes, he had figured out a lot of things on his own.
These ideas are so amazing that they even go beyond normal thinking.
As a result, the value of this golden treasure chest rose to an exaggerated level in his mind.
He lowered his head and said nothing, struggling internally.
After two or three minutes of silence, he raised his head.
"That's it, brother Zong Shen."
"You give me the right to distribute the gold treasure chest."
"I am willing to give up 10% of the distribution ratio of this batch of ancient equipment!"
Baron Bezos said reluctantly that he knew the value of this batch of equipment.
The total harvest now reaches hundreds.
Giving up 10% of the distribution ratio means that Zong Shen monopolizes 60%.
On the spot, Zong Shen understood that this was Baron Bezos starting to negotiate the price.
If they talk about it openly, then Zong Shen doesn't mind trying to gain more benefits for himself.
The total population of the territory now reaches more than one thousand.
A large number of double-story stone houses were built.
The current size of the territory is no less than that of Dinan Village.
After large ranches are established, the population will also increase dramatically.
In addition, the neighboring state cities are also Zong Shen's key targets.
Regarding the batch of refugees sent by Bosbon, they were screened by Mariel and Howie.
According to the ratio of the number of people, there should be one or even three or four heroic talents among them.
After the territory's population expands, hero-level talents must also be expanded.
Not only is it a matter of command value, the management of all levels must also be kept up in an orderly manner.
The next stage is when the population exceeds 10,000.
A population of thousands is already unique among the current lords.
What is known so far is that Chen Rui has reached this level.
Of course, Zong Shen once saw on the channel that someone became the marquis's son-in-law.
A state city was obtained as a fiefdom within its jurisdiction.
There is currently no way to study this matter, at least from the territory level rankings and previous banner announcements.
This world is full of wonders, and it really cannot be said too absolutely.
Anyway, reaching this population base is already considered very impressive.
When you enter the no-challenge month, you can let go and develop.
By the way, demographic reform was also carried out.
Implement the framework of the reform while the number of citizens is still under control.
With one or two million dinars in hand, it was enough to establish a preliminary system.
At that time, soldiers will be paid according to their ranks.
As for farmers, we provide basic production resources and land and let them open up wasteland.
Let the resources after land reclamation return to the market, or acquire them by themselves.
When a large number of traveling merchants settle in, the economy will be completely revitalized.
Before that, he had to pay out of his own pocket to form an initial internal economic cycle.
This decision will harm the interests of the territory in the short term, but it is indeed necessary from a long-term perspective.
Anyway, power is always authoritarian, and there is loyalty as a guarantee.
In essence, these wealth will basically not be lost in large quantities.
It will only form a cycle within the territory, eventually attracting external resources.
At the same time, it can also greatly stimulate the subjectivity of the citizens.
They are not like puppets on strings, requiring relevant commands for every action.
Zong Shen lowered his head and thought, and unconsciously thought too far.
"Brother Zong?"
Baron Bezos asked tentatively.
Only then did Zong Shen come back to his senses.
"Let's do this, Lord Bezos."
"I want to take 65% of those relic equipment."
"The rest is yours, and this treasure chest is also yours."
He said concisely and concisely, and this matter is only suitable for such a simple and straightforward statement.
Otherwise, if you talk too much, you will appear greedy.
Open the skylight and speak openly, and distribute it as you like.
Baron Bezos frowned slightly when he heard this distribution ratio.
He looked at the gold treasure chest and seemed to be weighing it.
Maybe it's because my expectations are too high.
He finally agreed to Zong Shen's request.
"Brother Zong, I promise you."
"Then this golden box belongs to me?"
Baron Bezos nodded in agreement, and finally sent an inquiry to Zong Shen.
After Zong Shen nodded in agreement, he used his own storage tools to put the treasure box away.
The two parties reached a verbal agreement, and the matter regarding the distribution of items came to an end.
It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon now.
There is one channel left that has not yet been explored.
Compared with the morning, Baron Bezos became much calmer after receiving the golden treasure chest.
I no longer show anxiety and have regained some of my calm temperament.
There is a skeleton knight in this only remaining passage, and Zong Shen is well aware of this.
"Then prepare to explore this passage now."
"Brother Zong, what do you think?"
Baron Bezos looked at Zong Shen, hinting that it was time for him to take action.
In response, Zong Shen just nodded and turned to Vereesa and Caniggia behind him.
"Vereesa, Caniggia, you are responsible for cooperating in the investigation."
"Report immediately if there is any situation."
After receiving his instructions, Vereesa turned the [Hiphawk Battle Bow] she was carrying behind her back to her front.
He came to Zong Shen and saluted.
Caniggia was even more fancy. He raised his wand and performed an aristocratic ceremony.
"As you wish."
"The wind will carry your will and blow in this dark underground."
"Be sure to pay attention to safety."
"As long as you hear a clicking sound, it can prove the presence of the undead."
Zong Shen ignored Caniggia's fancy words and actions, and just warned him seriously.
Both Vereesa and Caniggia have good speed and reflexes.
Probing by them is a good option.
Anyway, facing the charge of the Golden Lion Skeleton Knight, even Sergeant Rodok couldn't stop it.
As for Zong Shen, it is no longer suitable to explore the passage again.
If he explores the passage twice in a row, undead will appear.
Then it is not ruled out that Baron Bezos will become suspicious because of this.
But there are no such worries when sending subordinates in.
Baron Bezos also named four strong fencers.
He also understands a truth now.
That is, when exploring the passage, it makes no difference whether to send a small team or several people.
Anyway, they couldn't resist the Skeleton Knight's charge.
It's better to send a few less people so that they can escape more quickly.
Under this principle, the new exploration team was formed.
Zong Shen handed the [Magic Flashlight] into Caniggia's hands.
Vereesa and Caniggia took the lead, followed by four strong swordsmen, entering the passage.
This passage is also very spacious, almost the same as the previous one.
The probability of a skeleton knight existing in a passage like this is very high.
All the workers stood beside the remains of the cabin.
This is the blind spot for the charge.
Baron Bezos took out the cross and got ready.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
After two days of continuous excavation, the ruins here have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the initial ones.
Not only was it expanded a lot, but it also left a lot of traces of activity.
Workers and soldiers are all human beings, and they all need to solve three urgent problems.
Naturally, everyone solved the problem within the ruins.
It's just that they are all in the corners that have been explored in such ruins.
Now, he is the calmest person on the scene anyway.
However, he also raised the [Aurora Guardian Shield] and made a decent gesture of resistance.
After about five or six minutes passed, the light and shadow in the passage changed, and rapid footsteps were heard.
"Coming!"
"Be careful to avoid!"
The two men and the four strong fencers ran out of the passage almost one after the other.
I immediately found several locations on the ruins around the passage.
Not only is this the commanding heights, but it can also avoid the damage of direct charges.
Zong Shen and Baron Bezos also took certain evasions.
At least you can't stand in the open and still have the Skeleton Knight charge.
As long as charge damage is avoided, it means that the biggest risk factor has been eliminated.
Although the attack of the knight's sword is also very sharp, at least it will not have fatal consequences like charging the lance.
After everyone left the passage, about half a minute passed, and "ta da" came from far to near.
The sound echoed in the cave ruins, very neat and crisp.
It seems that there are more skeleton knights appearing this time than in the previous passage.
There were six skeleton knights running out of the previous passage, and this time there were at least a dozen.
Zong Shen was very happy about this. No matter how many Skeleton Knights he had, he always had the attitude that the more the better.
Because all the skeleton knights will become his fighting force.
As long as the [Silver Lion Ring] is there, it can be easily tamed.
In contrast, Baron Bezos appears to be very cautious.
