Chapter 542: Lion Baptism Potion, Damaged Medal of Honor
With just a slight shake, the ribbon became weathered and fell on the table.
Fortunately, the material of this map is obviously unusual.
At least it can last for tens of thousands of years without decay.
The material is like sheepskin, and it feels so soft.
Zong Shen unfolded the map.
The map is about forty centimeters wide.
Fully one meter long.
The terrain areas are drawn above with simple lines.
There are also small icons representing castles and towns.
There are also small circles.
These small circle marks are the largest in number and are very densely distributed.
Zong Shen thought that it should represent the village.
The right edge of the map is an irregular coastline.
Next to it are wavy lines representing the ocean.
There is also an island in the ocean.
There is a five-pointed star marked on it.
In addition, there are three lion head emblems in the map.
Scattered throughout the three eastern regions.
Zong Shen has now guessed that this map depicts the situation from the city of Azshara to the eastern coast, including the stationed location of the Lion Knights.
In addition to the lion head emblem, there are also symbols such as war eagle, brown bear, flying bird, arrowhead, broken blade and so on.
Zong Shen estimated that it should be the garrison of the rebels who were distributed in the area marked on the map at that time.
The place representing the giant elven city of Azshara depicts a square city with a huge tree in the middle.
Each emblem is only as big as the knuckle of your pinky finger.
As for the five-pointed star, except for the one in the East China Sea.
There is also one marked in the mountain forest northeast of Azshara.
The scale of this map is not yet known.
But because the map can show the outside of the East China Sea.
Zong Shen estimated that the scale must be a hundred kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.
Then the five-pointed star in the northeast of Azshara is thousands of kilometers away from here.
This map was definitely a strategic secret at the time.
There are hundreds of legion garrison locations standardized above.
But its value to Zong Shen is very limited.
At best, it can only be regarded as a "clue".
With these clues, Zong Shen can ask the guide to inquire for details.
He does this kind of thing all the time.
And after going through so many things.
He also understands that so many resistance legions and demon stations in the past have now become relics waiting for the lords to explore, and will eventually become materials for the development of the lords.
These relics are gifts from the previous era.
It cannot be ruled out that the reason is interference from the lord system.
In short, this strategic map will be very helpful for Zong Shen's future treasure hunting and exploration.
The incomparable vastness of this continent contains tens of thousands of years of ruins and heritage.
Coupled with the rich net worth of the aborigines today.
It was enough for the lords to rise up strongly.
If the other lords did not get the clue, they could only simply spend more time looking for the ruins.
The overall exploration rate is actually not very high.
According to Zong Shen's speculation, it will take at least seven or eight years or even ten years before the ruins in the mainland will be fully excavated.
This is still based on the number of lords.
The more treasures a ruin has, the more difficult it is to explore.
In this regard, the lords also need to have a certain degree of strength as support.
The improvement of strength is naturally inseparable from time.
Just like the remains of the Lion Knights' residence.
If Zong Shen didn't happen to have the [Ring of the Silver Lion], if he wanted to obtain the treasure chests and items in the ruins, he would have had to fight against those overlord-level lion skeleton knights.
At present, most of the lords cannot defeat those lion and skeleton knights.
Ordinary lords need to develop for at least a few months before they are qualified to fight with them.
As for the [Silver Lion's Ring] itself, it was hard-won.
Zong Shen took this risk and took it from the body of the lion skeleton knight Richardson whose strength was unknown.
It is also difficult for ordinary lords to do it.
It boils down to just one point.
That is, the gains in this world are always proportional to the risks.
And strength is the greatest guarantee to offset risks.
This thing just kind of snowballed.
Zong Shen had a lot of time to explore the ruins with his leading development progress and strength.
Then use the treasures obtained from the ruins to continue to strengthen yourself.
His strategy is simple, that is, focus on the territory and explore the surrounding ruins.
While increasing strength, expand and explore outside.
Eventually he dominated the entire eastern part of the continent.
He has not yet considered dominating the continent.
The vast territory is one reason, and the other is because there are so many ethnic groups in the world.
If you want to unify the continent, you need some buffer time.
In addition to conquering the indigenous people and major foreign races, the lords also had to be conquered.
You need to take it step by step and gain a firm foothold one step at a time.
Currently, his goal is to dominate this region and then radiate to the entire eastern part of the continent.
Establish a huge force or kingdom system.
Wait until the east is completely conquered before you can consider conquering other areas.
This is a long-term development goal.
A lord who doesn't want to be a tyrant is not a good lord.
In fact, the issue of domination needs to be discussed later.
The most important thing at this stage is to actively respond to the various survival challenges in the lord system.
There is also the arrival of the so-called second act and third act.
First follow the direction arranged by the lord system and move towards the future.
And get as many benefits as possible.
He conveniently put this map into the storage compartment.
Then Zong Shen took out the silver little lion again.
This little lion is only four knuckles tall and looks small and exquisite.
It has a distinct falling feel when held in hand.
[Silver Lion Hand Sculpture (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[The lion is the emblem of the Knights, and this hand sculpture is a token representing the formation of the legion]
[Effect: Silver Lion Knights (when the number of Lion Knights under his command reaches 1,200 or 6,000, the establishment authority of the Silver Lion Knights can be activated)]
[Brigade formation status: Obtain 12 places to promote heroes. Only among the Lion Knights, twelve knights can be promoted into command heroes. At the same time, in the brigade action state, all brigade members will receive an additional 15% extra health. Bonus, this quota is fixed, and can be promoted as a substitute when the hero commanded by the knight dies in battle, and the total number cannot exceed 12]
[Legion establishment status: Obtain 48 quotas for promoting heroes. Only 48 designated knights among the Lion Knights can be promoted into command heroes. This hero quota can be superimposed with the quota of the brigade. At the same time, in the legion action state, all legion members You will receive an additional 35% health bonus. This state cannot be superimposed with the brigade state. The replacement rules for the fallen heroes commanded by the knight are consistent with the above]
(The token representing the establishment of the Knights can promote commanding heroic talents from the Lion Knights to form a stable hierarchical command structure)
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"No wonder Baron Bezos is so interested in the relics of the Lion Knight!"
Zong Shen sighed in surprise.
This little lion turned out to be a token representing the Knights of the Silver Lion.
Together with the [Silver Lion Banner], it only takes some time to reorganize the Silver Lion Knights.
When the time comes, we need people, heroes, and organizations.
The territory's first integrated knight corps is just around the corner.
And in the end, there are at most many Lion Knights that can actually be mastered.
Not to mention that the promoted command heroes also have command points.
The battle flag alone comes with an additional 8,000 points of command points.
By then, a strengthened knight army can be established.
It doesn't matter even if the battle flag and the command points of the promoted knight heroes are full.
Anyway, [Silver Lion Banner] can be recruited once a week.
As long as he has enough heroes and free command points under his command.
After all, there is no upper limit on the number of recruits on that thing.
Therefore, this battle flag can be regarded as indirectly fulfilling Zong Shen's dream of exploding troops.
This also made him have a keen interest in the garrison of other legions scattered across the continent.
As long as we collect more than ten or twenty soldiers, it means that we have mastered more than ten or twenty corps.
Compared with this simple and crude recruitment method.
Whether it is recruitment papers or barracks training, he has become a younger brother.
"This is a good thing, you have to keep it!"
Zong Shen solemnly put the little lion into his storage compartment.
Incorporated into the reserve of items carried with you.
There are two items left, a bottle of potion and a emblem.
Zong Shen took out the bottle of potion first.
The medicine bottle is almost as big as half a mineral water bottle.
The mouth of the bottle is sealed with a cork and oil wax.
He raised the potion bottle to his eyes.
The potion inside looks pitch black.
Shake it gently and you can see it flowing slowly.
It looks slimy.
"Gudong..."
Zong Shen couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The bottle of potion in his hand reminded him of Guiling Gao.
Obviously it doesn't fit in with the pharmacy style of this world.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too strange, or if it’s something that has gone bad a long time ago.
In a searching mood, he set his sights on this bottle of potion.
[Lion Baptism Potion (Orange)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Baptism of Lions]
[Each bottle of potion can perform lion baptism for up to three people]
[Need to be diluted with water]
[One bottle of medicine mixed with 180 liters of hot water]
[Baptism requires continuous immersion for 12 hours]
[After baptism, you can get a certain attribute improvement]
[The degree of improvement of each person depends on the basic attributes and qualifications]
[This medicine is prohibited to be taken orally to avoid causing damage to the body]
(Lion baptism potion, through potion baptism, enhances one's attributes and becomes a powerful lion warrior. Knight captains in the Lion Legion in the past are eligible for baptism)
This bottle of potion was actually used for baptism.
It also needs to be diluted with water and baptized through immersion.
The last time Zong Shen heard the word baptism was in Odo Village.
The Calamity Raven Church also has specialized baptism methods.
Baptism is a process of instillation of strength.
Either through some mysterious induction ceremony, or through the use of potions containing power.
This [Lion Baptism Potion] obviously belongs to the latter.
Looking at this bottle of baptism potion, Zong Shen also had many doubts in his heart.
"Are there any side effects after baptism?"
“Can baptism be repeated?”
“Can the effects of different baptisms be superimposed on each other?”
He asked questions directly to the strategy module.
He raised all the doubts in his mind.
(Medicine baptism has no side effects, and the gain of baptism is relatively low. The effects of different baptisms can be superimposed.
The effect of ritual baptism is better, but try not to participate in ritual baptism, because it will make your body have more things that do not belong to you)
The golden strategy subtitles quickly appeared, perfectly answering Zong Shen's doubts.
Compared with ritual baptism, potion baptism is more reliable.
The ritual baptisms of those churches are all fancy and require the power of the gods they believe in.
The guide also warns about this.
This potion is a good thing, but it's a pity that baptism takes twelve hours.
Zong Shen planned to wait until he killed the second Balrog Boss before considering using it.
As for the candidates, he already has a few ideas.
He himself added Canigia, the favored one of the wind god.
The last spot can be considered for Luna or Doris.
Needless to say, the relationship between Luna and him goes without saying.
Adding Doris was a matter of potential.
Apart from Caniggia, Doris should be the best among the territorial mages.
Not only has he mastered the fourth-level summoning of fire spirits, but he also has excellent magical talent.
Even the magic skill level after recruitment is higher.
The specifics can be considered at that time.
Anyway, the medicine is here, so it won’t travel far, and there is no issue with its shelf life.
After all, this thing has stayed in the magic storage box for tens of thousands of years without decay.
There is absolutely no problem if you leave it for an extra ten days and a half.
Moreover, Zong Shen is no longer so eager to improve his personal strength.
His current strength is enough to defeat those overlord-level monsters.
After being fully armed and with several powerful buffs, he can even fight against the overlord-level young dragon.
That's right, Zong is so strong now.
If you don’t believe it, you can ask Yingjiang.
As an overlord-level dragon-veined griffon, Yingjiang guarantees with his own griffon that Zong Shen is definitely the most ferocious human being he has ever seen.
Able to subdue it with brute force and rub it against the ground.
Of course, it hasn't seen too many humans...
In short, in one sentence, Zong Shen is awesome!
The effectiveness of this bottle of baptismal potion is currently unknown.
Considering that it was only of orange quality, Zong Shen felt that it shouldn't be too outrageously improved.
So put it away for now, at least until the second Balrog Boss is eliminated before considering using it.
He also put the potions into his storage compartment.
Now there is only one last item left in the magic storage box.
This is an old looking emblem.
The relief marks on the surface are completely worn away.
There is a relief of ivy looming on the edge.
Judging from the appearance alone, it shouldn't have any effect.
But anything that can be stored in a storage box should have some merit.
[Stormwind’s Medal of Honor (Damaged)]
[Effect: None]
(The Medal of Honor issued by Stormwind City, one of the five major human cities in the last era, has been severely worn and lost all its effect. It can only be used as an ancient souvenir to commemorate the past era. Perhaps some people are keen to collect it. Merchants or nobles who own antiques from this era will be interested in it, so it is recommended that you keep it for yourself)
This is a useless badge.
Has no effect.
The exterior is also badly worn.
But for the owner, the medal still represents honor.
According to the tips in the guide, the medal has indeed lost all its effects.
It can only be treated as an antique.
Zong Shen played with it for a while and decided to put it in the lord's fortress.
He got up and went to the fireplace and placed it on the stone bench.
Let it eat dust here for the rest of its life.
At this point, all the contents in the magic storage box have been checked.
In addition to medals, other items are quite useful.
Even that strategic map provides clues for future exploration of the ruins of other legions.
Not to mention the battle flag and hand sculpture of a small lion.
These two items are equivalent to sending the Lion Knight Legion to Zong Shen in vain.
Get them, add a little time and patience, and you have an army of knights.
Baptism potion is also a very practical thing.
Enhanced attributes that add to the icing on the cake.
It’s also true that you can never have too much of a good thing.
But this wave has already made a lot of money, what more bikes do you need?
Zong Shen put away the magic storage box.
Prepare to take some time to let the dwarf uncle handle it.
Such a storage box is of little use to him.
Valuable things can be put into the portable storage compartment.
Unless he died, no one could take anything from his storage compartment.
After cleaning up this wave, it was already dark outside.
Mariel and Vereesa also returned to the central area.
Luna hasn't come back yet, she's not far to the south of the territory.
The original rogue camp was responsible for burying the remains.
He brought with him almost thirty farmers.
Judging from the scale of the ruins described by Mariel.
Backfilling will take at least three or four hours.
It can't be done until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Vereesa returned to the Lord's Fortress first, and after seeing Zong Shen, she took the initiative to report the situation to him.
All the griffins have returned to their nests, and Yingjiang is sitting in the nest personally.
And she came back riding a commander-level griffin.
After the gryphon put her down, it immediately took off and returned to its lair.
At the same time, Vereesa also returned the [Thousand Kilometer Teleportation Gate] to Zong Shen.
Following his instructions, Vereesa left a space beacon numbered 3 in the griffon's lair.
If you want to go to the Griffin's Nest in the future, you can use the portal to quickly select area number 3 to open the portal.
This is a preparatory measure.
Ordinary mobilization of griffon troops will not open the portal.
Because the flying speed of griffons is not slow either.
The reason why the space beacon is left there is mainly for the purpose of mining gem mines in the future.
By the way, prepare for some emergencies.
Anyway, the portal can store a total of ten space beacons at the same time.
This is also something to be prepared for.
After Vereesa finished her report, she actually walked to the kitchen, seemingly ready to cook.
This is a strange thing for Zong Shen.
There is now a canteen in the territory that serves three meals a day.
The food standard is pretty good, including staple food, fruits, and meat.
For a territory, food and drink are also a big problem.
There is an old saying in China that "food is the first priority for the people".
