Chapter 1259 The North and Darkness [Please Subscribe]

The principle of magic shielding is not complicated.

However, there is still a lot to pay attention to in practice.

This [Magic Shield (Gold)] can indeed come in handy many times.

Items such as [Bottle of Elements (Gold)] and [Magic Shield (Gold)] made Zong Shen feel that the world was full of malice towards spellcasters.

Put away the shield, there are still two golden epic items left that have not been checked yet.

Zong Shen simply took them all out at once.

The first is a gray rune stone, the size of a fist, with countless runes densely packed on the surface.

There are no strange light and shadow effects, it looks very simple.

Holding this rune stone in your hand, you can activate its effect with just a thought.

Without wasting time, Zong Shen looked directly at it and chose to check.

Eye-catching gold characters swayed and refreshed, dotted next to its information list.

[Gravity Rune Stone (Gold)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Hundred times gravity (creates a hundred times gravity field in an area of ​​1,000 meters, lasting for 3 minutes, the skill has no cooldown, but the effects of gravity fields in the same area cannot be superimposed)]

[Number of uses: 8/12]

[Note: The effect of the gravity field does not distinguish between friend and foe, and may cause serious damage and impact to the terrain]

(It can create a strange field with a hundred times the gravity. This is a quite exaggerated effect.

A person weighing 100 kilograms will have to bear 10,000 kilograms of pressure in the field

In addition, it will also cause serious collapse effects on the topography.

Use in some terrain environments may cause chain reactions)

…

"A hundred times gravity..."

Zong Shen murmured and repeated.

The function of this rune stone depends on the specific environment and situation of use.

But most of the time, its role is biased towards assistance and interference.

The key is that the effect of the gravity field does not distinguish between friend and foe.

So it can suppress both the enemy and one's own side.

If you want to take advantage of gravity to attack the enemy, you need to deploy and prepare in advance.

For example, when a group of enemies moves to a designated area.

Suddenly activating the field effect of a hundred times gravity can hold the enemy in place.

Hundreds of times the force of gravity is enough to press them to the ground.

It's not easy to fight against a hundred times gravity.

The greater the weight, the greater the influence of gravity.

Even if you can resist the invasion of gravity and force yourself to stay active, your movement efficiency will be greatly affected.

Therefore, a hundred times gravity is also suitable for dealing with enemies with high agility.

It can greatly reduce the opponent's mobile advantage.

To sum up, this [Gravity Rune Stone (Gold)] still has good practical value.

Not only does it have a wide range of effects, but its effects are relatively rare.

There are currently 8 usage opportunities left, which is enough.

Putting the rune stone away with his backhand, Zong Shen immediately looked at the last golden epic-level item in this batch of collection-level items that was suitable for carrying around.

Compared to the ordinary-looking rune stone.

The overall shape of this item is more eye-catching.

It looks like a short torch.

The upper part is made of orichalcum, and the very top has obvious scorch marks that have been blackened.

The lower part is a thick and heavy solid wood handle.

Circles of wood grain can be seen on the surface.

What's special about it is that there is a burning flame at the top.

And this flame is still illusory.

When you put your hand on it, you can't feel any temperature at all, and there is no burning sensation.

This makes it weird and unique.

The most important thing is that the name of this thing is [torch (gold)], and the word "torch" is reversed.

I don’t know what the purpose is.

The entire [Torch (gold)] is like a torch that does not emit smoke or emit heat.

It's good for lighting.

But it is still a golden epic item.

I guess the effect shouldn't be that simple.

After thinking for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and stared.

[Torch (gold)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Endless light (the light emitted by the torch can illuminate all darkness)]

(This strange torch seems useless

In fact it will come in handy sooner or later

Put it away and remember to carry it with you

When you are in darkness, he will be the light that lights your way)

…

"Lighting up all darkness?"

"Is there a moral here?"

"Or will I go to a place without light in the future?"

Zong Shen whispered to himself, trying to figure out its use.

The strategy module once again acts as the Riddler.

However, its implications are still very obvious, and it is not too mysterious.

After thinking for a moment, he calmed down and called up the strategy module.

"Why is this [torch] useful to me?"

"What do I mean by my falling into darkness?"

He was too lazy to guess by himself and asked directly.

(Northern

Other information cannot be disclosed for the time being.

This will cause the balance mechanism of subsequent challenges to be affected, resulting in unpredictable changes.

When you receive relevant forward-looking announcements, please come back and ask about this guide.

In short, keep this [torch (gold)], it will play an important role

In addition, this guide will give you more relevant clues after 30 days.

Please continue to look for more items with darkness dispelling and powerful lighting abilities)

…

"Northern Territory!"

Seeing this place name, combined with the previous announcement of changes in the northern border.

Zong Shen was able to guess the truth of the matter.

The northern border is currently at a critical juncture of impending turmoil.

The lords located in the Kingdom of Vaegiya are making choices and engaging in exclusive challenge activities.

The lords in other places have to wait for the subsequent evolution of the situation.

From this point of view, the disaster in the north is likely to affect the entire continent.

Therefore, it will become another trial for all lords.

But judging from the information Zong Shen collected.

The full outbreak of the crisis in the northern border will still be at least several months away.

It will probably break out completely in a month or two after the arrival of the second batch of lords.

Of course, this is just an inference based on the information he already knows.

No one can guarantee the specific situation at present.

Because the crisis itself has not yet evolved.

In other words, any current changes in related factors may lead to changes in the final difficulty of Northern Crisis.

Regardless, this is news worth noting.

"Props to dispel darkness and powerful lighting?"

"I can't just wait for the strategy module to take action."

"In the near future, Mariel will be asked to dispatch specialized personnel to search for relevant items in the [market]."

Zong Shen thought in his heart.

It's okay if he doesn't know about this.

But now that you know it, you must take the initiative to prepare.

As for the situation in the north, he took the time to go and see it for himself.

The mainland is in a state of flux, and he can't always stay here.

Of course, before traveling far, Zong Shen planned to conquer all the giant cities within tens of thousands of kilometers around his territory to create a relatively stable circle of strength.

At the same time, let the territory grow into a super fortress.

At least it can withstand the continuous attacks of tens of millions of troops.

Then train two hundred legendary powerhouses and ten demigod-level powerhouses for the territory.

Only in this way can he leave with peace of mind.

Judging from the current progress, it is not too difficult to achieve this goal.

Relying on plunder and fear and independent cultivation.

There are still many channels to create a legendary powerhouse.

The difficulty lies in the demigod level experts.

There are only a few strong men of this level in each large area.

They are all there to guard one side.

Although looking at the entire vast endless continent, there should still be a lot of demigod-level powerhouses.

But for Zong Shen's subjugation plan, it is still very challenging to subdue ten demigod-level strong men under his command.

Including the current Zong Shen himself, in fact, he can only compete with the mid-level demigod when he takes out his trump card.

His normal attributes are comparable to those of high-level legendaries.

There is still a long way to go before reaching the first level of demigod.

However, Zong still has information that can be achieved.

I thought about it seriously for a long time.

He took out the [Communication Crystal] and dialed Mariel's crystal number.

Since the upgrade of the [Crystal Communication Tower], the giant city of Lentax has also been included in the communication range.

The crystal communication sent out was quickly connected.

Mariel should have woken up by this point. As an internal affairs officer, she is quite self-disciplined.

"grown ups."

Mariel's light voice came from the other end of the crystal.

During this time, her voice was full of energy, not tired at all, and she sounded very energetic.

"Mariel, send a few people to keep an eye on the [market] from today on."

"Focus on collecting items with effects such as powerful lighting, darkness expulsion, and permanent lighting."

[Market] Attention will be paid to the characteristics of the items for sale.

The name can be customized, but the effect cannot be changed.

This eliminates the possibility of any kind of deception.

Therefore, in the current [market], many items have relatively exaggerated names.

For example, [Powerful: Super-fast cutting sword], [A large shield that never misses a sword], [A sip of the clear spring that makes you instantly happy], [A green war helmet that doesn’t know you are green]...

There are many other items named in this style.

Picking out useful equipment is really like picking out gold from shit.

Many items with eye-catching names are actually out-and-out garbage.

Therefore, if you want to choose the right thing in the [market], you need patience, perseverance and a little bit of luck.

Fortunately, the Lord System has prepared a fairly complete search function for [Market].

If used properly, it can still be searched effectively.

Mariel believed in the instructions given by Zong Shen unconditionally.

There will never be any questioning.

Unless it involves territory development decisions, she will make corresponding suggestions based on the actual situation.

This is feedback that exceeds the MAX limit of loyalty.

"I understand, sir."

"I will arrange this immediately."

"Do you have any other instructions?"

Mariel replied vigorously.

Zong Shen nodded secretly, feeling increasingly satisfied with Mariel's performance.

“How is the construction of the residential area expansion going?”

“Are the territory’s current resource reserves sufficient?”

"Now we have no shortage of dinars."

"You can use dinars in the market to exchange for basic resources that are consumed quickly."

He took the initiative to warn.

Currently, Zong Shen has nearly 10 billion dinars on hand.

This money can be used in addition to purchasing supplies among the indigenous forces.

You can also put it in the [Market] to exchange for resources.

Because to other lords, the dinar also had strong monetary value.

There is currently a gap in the basic resources of the territory.

Wood, stone, hemp, and iron are all resources that are difficult to obtain in bulk by looting indigenous people.

But it is the main resource needed by the lords for construction.

Population can be obtained through quick looting, but basic resources cannot.

Fortunately, dinars can also solve this problem.

Praise [the market].

This building revitalized the trade of billions of lords.

Gathering a massive resource pool.

Now Zong Shen finally has the ability to draw nutrients from this resource pool.

This event is of landmark significance.

Nearly 10 billion dinars of funds are enough to stir up the changes in the [market].

"Okay, my lord."

"There is indeed a relatively large gap in the territory's basic resources."

“Daily construction consumes a huge amount of resources.

Mariel was visibly relieved.

Suddenly the territory was expanded with enough buildings to accommodate a giant city-level population.

To say it doesn’t consume much would be a lie.

Mariel has also been under a lot of pressure recently.

Relying on the original business and trade system, consumption can barely be maintained.

Now that we have dinar as a trade supplement, the problem of resource shortage can be significantly alleviated.

"That's good, wait until I get back."

After the two sides said a few more words, they ended the communication.

Just when he was about to check out the dazzling items.

Suddenly a golden banner floated across the sky.

[Lord Elakupel Lightninger successfully joined the Night King’s camp in 1984913 and achieved a breakthrough event]

【Received generous rewards】

[The progress of the current situation in the northern border has been increased by 3.7%]

…

The hints of the golden banner can break through the isolation of the ice shell.

The message of the banner was projected in front of Zong Shen's eyes, and the main purpose was to attract attention.

"Joining the Night King's camp is actually considered a breakthrough event?"

"That means this Night King should not accept the lord in the first place."

Zong Shen thought about it and quickly came to a conclusion.

The continent is vast and full of wonders.

With such a huge base, there must be more than one coquettish lord from his sect.

In other words, this seems to be the first golden banner obtained by any other lord except the puppet lord of the Salander Sultanate.

But for Zong Shen, he didn't find it too shocking.

He took a lot of gold banners.

Even the platinum banner got it a few times.

Zong Shen is more concerned about the key information exposed behind this banner.

The northern border seems to be the place where the lords will focus their attention for some time to come.

As relevant information appears one after another, even a fool should know that something big will happen there.

Moreover, this major event will inevitably require the personal participation of the lords.

Zong Shen guessed that it should be a comprehensive challenge such as preventing the invasion of the Night King.

But the appearance of this banner means that a small number of lords have the opportunity to bet and join the Night King's camp.

Of course, doing so comes with risks.

If the Night King is killed, these lords who join the camp will also have nothing to gain.
