Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The current territory only has the expedition team led by Zoe Babbitt.

And the real core character among them is the ghostly adventurer Jacques Picard.

Although there are more than ten apprentices in the team who were voluntarily recruited based on their interests.

But the profession of adventurer is different from other technical crafts.

It requires a lot of exploration practice to accumulate experience in dealing with various ruins.

The cultivation cycle is very unstable.

It is not an easy task to seriously train adventurers who can stand alone.

So Zong Shen currently has two plans for this matter.

The first plan is to send people to the surrounding giant cities and place bounties on the natives to recruit adventurers.

The second option is to use the [Clone Shaping Skill] obtained previously.

He prefers the second option.

Because the abilities and qualities of aboriginal adventurers vary.

Moreover, if you want to completely conquer many ruins, you must at least have legendary level strength.

There are only a handful of adventurers in the entire continent with this level of strength.

Today, unlike in the past, fewer and fewer young people are keen to become adventurers.

After all, most of your adventurous life will be spent on the road.

The truly thrilling moments are quite brief.

And those exciting places often come with risks.

This has become a dead end.

Most high-level adventurers first have good strength and then choose to change careers.

Therefore, this kind of recruitment cannot be said to be completely unfeasible. It can only be said that it is still relatively difficult to play its due role.

How can it be so easy to meet a powerful adventurer?

So Zong Shen prefers the second option.

[Clone Shaping Skill] is a skill book awarded after the final completion of [Mission: Silver Moon Prince’s Long-cherished Wish] and the subsequently changed mission [Spirit of Vengeance].

With just a thought in his heart, Zong Shen recalled the relevant instructions for obtaining the skill book.

[Clone Shaping Skill Book (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Requirement I: Basic health value ≥ 10000]

[Requirement II: Wisdom attribute ≥ 420]

[Lords and hero-level units need to meet the above conditions to learn]

[After learning successfully, you can master the skill: Avatar Shaping]

[This skill is a level-less skill]

[Clone shaping (can create up to the number of clones rounded up after the current wisdom attribute is divided by 420. Each clone requires 36 hours of gestation time, has 65% of the attributes of the original body, and cannot inherit the skills of the original body. At the same time, the clone will receive a ray of The consciousness of the main body allows the main body to control it synchronously. If the clone dies, the main body will permanently lose 65 points of wisdom attribute)]

…

This skill is still very powerful.

The number of summoned clones is determined based on the [Wisdom] attribute.

Moreover, the clone can possess 65% of the attributes of the original body.

No matter from any aspect, this is a very high indicator.

With Zong Shen's current normal attributes, even 65% is enough to reach the legendary level.

However, the clone needs a full 36 hours of gestation time, and after death, the main body will permanently lose 65 points of [Wisdom] attributes.

Previously, Zong Shen’s main reason was that creating a clone was a bit time-consuming.

Therefore, there has been no formal creation of clones and the formation of adventure teams based on them.

You must know that he can control these clones through his thoughts.

This kind of distracted control is a very mysterious feeling.

It's like having a few more wirelessly connected limbs.

It is worth mentioning that the senses fed back by the clone, including smell, taste, and touch, will be weakened.

Now with the timing privilege, you can extend the timing within a certain building.

Time-consuming things like reading books and creating clones can be solved in the timing area.

It would definitely be just right to use a clone to lead a team to explore the ruins.

Because the split thoughts are controlled by him, it is equivalent to sharing strategy information and providing decision-making plans in real time.

This will definitely make ruin exploration very efficient.

After asking about the idea in his mind, he was ready to go back and start shaping the clone.

There is a time bonus in heritage development.

Before the prologue comes, the more ruins you unearth, the more epoch materials you can get.

In addition, this divine shell cave also needs a reliable enough candidate to lead the team to guard it.

Then you might as well line up a clone and come with some elite soldiers.

Reserve an extra batch of supplies, which can be regarded as a secret node he placed nearby.

Zong Shen was thinking in his heart, but his steps did not slow down or stop at all.

Having obtained the [Negative Demonic Liquid] was already a worthwhile trip.

But his ultimate purpose in coming here is to obtain the high-level Sacred Heart spell.

Draw the power of the Holy Light from it.

The downward passage is deep and long.

The flames of [Red Dragon Roaring Staff] illuminate the road ahead.

The ground was dry, sending up a cloud of dust with every step he took.

After advancing for about seven or eight minutes, Zong Shen arrived at the end of the passage.

?

What the hell? Is there no road?

He was sure that there was a dead end ahead.

There is no moss on the gray-white rock wall, leaving only a church motto:

Praise the Holy Light, gaze at the Holy Light, and embrace the Holy Light. It will bring you warmth, strength, and unprecedented courage. God, love the world, and the Holy Light embraces the world.

The font used is not the lingua franca of mainland China today.

It is the language of the ancient human race from the previous dimension.

The strategy module will automatically display the golden translation when he looks at the unknown text.

There is a dead end here, which is a very strange situation in itself.

And this proverb obviously means something.

Going into Riddler mode?

Zong Shen thought about it in his heart.

He didn't immediately turn to the strategy module.

Because after he read this proverb, he could roughly guess the truth.

Without hesitating for too long, Zong Shen immediately took a few steps forward.

He came to the front of the rock wall and stretched out his right hand to stir up the [Holy Spirit Heart] in his body.

Immediately there was a soft milky white light flowing down the arm into the palm.

Then a ball of light the size of a melon gradually formed.

This is the pure power of holy light in his body.

Zong Shen, who has two hearts, can mobilize these two powers alone.

There are no clear limits.

After condensing the sphere of holy light, he slowly approached and pressed the wall against the rock wall.

Immediately, the motto carved on the rock wall lit up correspondingly.

Countless sacred runes appeared, spreading from the inside out like waves.

In just the blink of an eye, the entire rock wall was covered.

Well.

It seems I was right.

This wall has been transformed by the means of the Holy Light.

Zong Shen whispered to himself.

Although this barrier is also made of [God Shell Rock (grey)] which has a magic repelling effect, this does not mean that it cannot be transformed at all.

You must know that the effect of a single [God Shell Rock] is very poor.

It all relies on quantity to produce the effect of magic repulsion.

Moreover, [God Shell Rock] itself is not strong and can be cut directly with a knife blade.

In comparison, [Negative Demonic Liquid] is the real essence

When the Holy Third Legion discovered this place and decided to transform it into the inner circle of the station.

There is time and opportunity for detailed renovations.

When the rock wall shines with light and the runes jump.

The entire rock wall suddenly disappeared in the milky white holy light.

It turned into a one-way portal with weak ripples.

Zong Shen closed his eyes and did not feel the strong spatial fluctuations.

What maintains its existence is still the pure and dazzling power of holy light.

It seems that this should be a small teleportation gate with a very short distance.

It's a bit like a buffer compartment when entering some kind of secret base.

After staring briefly to confirm that there were no hidden dangers in the portal itself, he stepped into it.

The light in front of him changed, his vision quickly recovered, and he appeared in a huge underground hall.

There are a large number of tents here, many of which have become dilapidated.

There are also simple houses built with logs.

The only two stone buildings are the small Holy Light Church in the center.

There is also a statue of a god dominated by the Holy Light.

Much smaller in size and dimensions than the Akaru Church.

It should be for the stationed apostolic warriors to pray.

You must know that many of the methods used by church forces are inseparable from collective prayer and singing.

So necessary religious buildings can be seen almost everywhere.

Just like when the Calamity Raven Church occupied Odo Village.

Safuli also needs those believers and apostles to kneel down and chant at the same time to gather faith to activate the method.

This hall is not small, comparable in area to several villages like Citano.

It is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, it was extremely quiet here, as if a mute button had been pressed.

There was a layer of dust three fingers thick on the ground.

If outside, such dust will turn into dirt after being contaminated with water vapor.

But it is relatively dry here and does not have the conditions to form soil, so there is such a thick dust.

Each step kicks up a ring of impact-shaped dust.

They floated slightly and got everywhere.

Fortunately, Zong Shen had already changed to internal breathing.

Don't worry about such small problems.

Even though the hall was extremely quiet, there wasn't a single human being in sight.

But he still didn't take it lightly.

Because before entering, the strategy module mentioned that there are monsters here.

Those holy apostle warriors who have become negative state remain here.

He doesn't know what the negative state is.

But judging from the overbearing characteristics of [Negative Demonic Liquid], it is definitely not a good thing.

The reason why it cannot be seen directly with the naked eye.

Either because the state of the negative electrode cannot be detected by the naked eye, or they have some kind of hiding ability, or there are other possibilities.

Zong Shen walked slowly for more than ten meters before stopping again.

After passing through the obstacles that blocked his vision, he saw the only source of light here.

It was a huge flag placed on the church.

It is continuously emitting soft white light.

Let this underground hall have some brightness.

The pattern on the flag is a figure shrouded in light.

The figure spread out his hands and shed a large amount of holy light.

Below there are two crossed swords bathed in holy light.

The meaning of this flag is self-evident.

Judging from someone's experience, it must be something like a battle flag.

Maybe it's a special prop with a recruiting effect.

Such as the battle flag of the Knights of the Lion.

But judging from the situation at the scene and the size of the Holy Third Legion.

The level of this flag is definitely one or two levels higher than that of the Lion Flag.

Zong Shen quickly came to a conclusion and did not rush forward to retrieve the treasure.

He is already communicating with the strategy module to investigate the hidden dangers here.

After standing quietly for half a minute, his expression became solemn, and he knew what kind of danger lurked here.

Walking along the temporary hard road opened in the station, it didn't take long for Zong Shen to see several treasure chests.

They appear somewhat unexpectedly on the roadside.

After all, the treasure chests are all foreign objects, placed in ruins everywhere by the lord system.

It didn't originally exist.

Zong Shen put away the treasure boxes.

Obtained [Silver Treasure Chest × 2] and [Gold Treasure Chest × 1].

The [Golden Treasure Box] among them is still a trap.

After turning it on, you will receive a holy light impact.

If you have evil power or related equipment on your body, you will be damaged by the impact of the Holy Light. If you have the power of the Holy Light, your health will be restored after being impacted.

The base of lords is large, and there are many people who possess all kinds of power.

Even if there is no evil power in oneself.

It is inevitable that the equipment on his body will not have evil power, such as some skeleton equipment produced by the undead, as well as various bloody sacrifice equipment.

Therefore, this holy light impact is still somewhat insidious.

It doesn't matter to someone like Zong.

He has the Heart of Holy Light as a shield, which is enough to neutralize the impact damage.

It would be good to keep it as a surprise move.

After accepting it, Zong Shen moved on.

There is still nothing unusual in the front, but the more so, the more abnormal it becomes.

We must adopt a cautious attitude towards abnormal things.

But for Zong, who had read the guide in advance, he felt confident.

There is no worry about facing unknown situations.

There is a stable not far ahead.

Looking at the stalls, it is a 14-slot stable belonging to the team establishment.

A normal team consists of 12 people, but there are usually 14 mounts.

Most of the time, riders fight on familiar mounts.

However, accidents happen frequently on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that their mount will always be safe and sound.

It is normal operation to have two spare horses.

Cavalry, cavalry, if there is no cavalry, then only soldiers are left.

The stable was covered with dust, there were no bones or mummies, not even a treasure chest.

What caught Zong Shen's attention was a copper bell hanging on the door.

That's a magical thing.

It's called [horse-calling copper bell (orange)].

Shaking it can attract nearby horses.

Including wild horses and various hybrid horses whose level is no higher than level five.

It's such a grand occasion.

The fifth-level bell hangs here.

Zong Shen accepted it directly and kept it for the pasture in the territory.

He returned to the hard road and continued toward the center of the station.

Zong Shen's goal was clear, that is to go to the church shrouded in the holy light of the flag.

The Sacred Heart spell he needed was enshrined in the church.

And strictly speaking, it is the only relatively normal area here!

…
