Chapter 621: Platinum Level Balrog Treasure Chest
I thought about the issues regarding the technological development of the territory.
Zong Shen put away the books and prepared to return to the lord's fortress.
At this time, there was an inconspicuous sound of running outside the gate of the city tower.
The sentinel panther carried Luna into the gate of the tower.
"Luna!"
Zong Shen waved his hand, and at this time Luna also noticed Zong Shen standing by the tower.
The sentinel black panther under her crotch was quite clever, turning around and running over without any further instructions.
Luna turned over flexibly.
"Sir, I have brought the Balrog key and the eggs."
"Gugat is helping coordinate the repatriation of warriors from the Unclaimed Territory."
She stroked her chest, saluted, and spoke concisely.
Then he took out a small pile of keys from the storage compartment and placed them on the ground in front of him.
In addition to the key, the [Unknown Beast Egg (Unknown)] was also taken out.
Zong Shen showed a warm smile to Luna.
He reached out and brushed away the pile of Balrog keys and beast eggs.
Such a small pile of keys takes up three storage compartments.
The number has reached 2272 pieces!
Some of these Balrog keys come from temporary combat teams.
There are also some parts that Gugat brought back with animal eggs.
The keys here exceed the requirements for redeeming the platinum chest.
The remainder can be redeemed as points.
A key can be exchanged for 20 points, which is not a small amount when accumulated.
Zong Shen has already tried it, but the Balrog Key cannot be put up for sale, nor can it be handed over to other lords.
Otherwise, it is also a good choice to sell the extra keys at an excess value of more than 20 points each.
However, this road has been blocked by the lord system.
Just go ahead and redeem the treasure chest keys and points.
After Zong Shen collected the keys, Luna bowed again.
"Sir, then I will return to the living area."
"It is expected to take another three to four hours to complete the count of soldiers and farmers."
"There are not enough stone houses in the living area now."
"I'm afraid most people will have to camp in the open space tonight."
Luna told him the population reception situation of the living area,
However, Zong Shen is prepared to put the addition of the living area on hold for a while.
He is even planning to demolish some buildings that are of little use.
After all, territory damage rate will also be included in the challenge score.
Of course, those idle buildings may not be subject to key attacks.
For those attacking monsters, Zong Shen and the central stone pillar are their first targets.
"Luna, you can use the communication crystal to contact Mariel later and tell her not to rush to build the stone house."
"Except for the defensive buildings, all subsequent construction will wait for my notification."
Zong Shen thought for a while and then explained to Luna.
Luna nodded and touched her chest again in greeting.
"Okay, sir, I'll leave now."
After seeing Zong Shen nod his head in agreement, Luna jumped onto the back of the Sentinel Black Panther.
Luna left the Lord's Fortress in a hurry and unknowingly became a model worker hero.
Zong Shen opened the points balance, and now the balance became 469,239 points.
He immediately knew what was going on, took out the Balrog treasure box from before, and then started to redeem the treasure box.
Directly redeemed a platinum treasure chest key worth 1,250 Balrog keys.
After the exchange is completed, there are 1022 Balrog keys left.
Zong Shen chose to exchange it for points and once again received 20,440 points.
His point balance finally reached 489,679 points!
It was close to the five hundred thousand points mark, and he could redeem these points freely.
But before redeeming points, it’s time to unbox the platinum treasure chest!
This is the first time Zong Shen has opened a platinum level treasure chest!
It is equivalent to a sixth-level treasure chest, and the guaranteed harvest is at least a golden epic level!
To say I'm not excited would be a lie.
"It's open, it's open!"
Zong Shen held the exchanged platinum key in his hand.
The texture of this key is bright silver and looks very shiny.
The Balrog's treasure chest has not changed much.
The level of items it can unlock is entirely determined by the key that opens it.
Zong Shen inserted the platinum treasure chest key into the keyhole of the treasure chest. After gently twisting it for half a turn, a crisp riveting sound could be heard.
"Crack!"
Along with the sound, the lid of the box slowly opened,
A platinum-gold halo shone, and seven balls of light emerged one after another.
Zong Shen scanned the colors of the light balls and immediately knew what they were. He stretched out his hand to collect all the light balls.
As the treasure chest is opened, corresponding unboxing prompts also appear.
[Successfully opened the platinum level Balrog treasure chest]
[Secret of the Elements Research Tower (Gold) × 1]
[Level 5 Double-Headed Ogre Warrior Recruitment Scroll × 3]
[Heart of Tribune (orange) × 1]
[Trick hat (purple) × 1]
[Construction Diagram of the Second-Level Territory Science and Technology Research Institute × 1]
[Second-level quicksand trap manufacturing diagram × 1]
[Bran bread (white) × 1]
Except for the last piece of bread, all of these seven items have good value.
In addition to the must-have epic items, there are also three fifth-level recruitment scrolls and an orange legendary jewelry item.
Zong Shen closed the lid of the empty treasure chest and sat on it.
Start looking at them one by one.
The first is the construction drawing of the golden grade.
There is nothing to say about the appearance. All the drawings produced by the Lord System have the same appearance as parchment rolls.
Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and focused on the detailed attributes of the drawing.
[Construction Diagram of the Secret of the Elements Research Tower (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic (gold) special magic building]
[Requirements: Secret of the Elements Research Tower Construction Diagram × 1]
[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]
[Building time: 4 hours]
[Ground floor area: 600 square meters]
【Number of layers: 6】
[Floor height: 6]
[Total height: 36 meters]
[Sturdiness value: 12500]
[Building Armor: 125]
[Building magic resistance: 135]
[Where do the elements come from and where does the magic go?]
[Magic reserve: 01000000]
[Maximum coverage: 100 kilometers]
[Effect: Elemental Bloom (consumes 500 magic points, condenses for ten seconds, releases a five-series random sixth-level group attack magic at the designated location, cooling time is 5 minutes)
Mana detonation (consumes 1 to 10,000 points of mana, detonates within the range, and causes explosion damage 1.2 times the mana consumed to enemies within a 10-meter radius around the explosion, with a cooling time of 10 minutes)
Magic Arrow Rain (consumes 10,000 magic points, releases a round of five-series magic arrow rain to the designated area within the coverage area, and releases 100 magic arrows within three seconds. Each magic arrow has a fixed 180 points of magic damage, and the cooling time is 1 minute. )
Elemental Strengthening (can greatly enhance the elemental power of one of the five common elements within the range, increase directional casting damage by 35%, lasts for 4 hours, and has a cooldown time of 18 hours)]
[Passive effect: Magic research (you can understand and study the five series of magic in the tower to understand new magic. The research time and skill level depend on the wisdom attribute and talent of the research object)
Magic stance (the recovery speed of magic value meditation within the coverage area is increased by 50%)]
(The elemental research tower that can cast five series of magic is biased towards attack-type magic buildings. It is necessary to send mages to charge the research tower with magic power.
In addition, in non-wartime conditions, it is still enough for the five-series masters to enter the tower to learn magic skills)
As an epic building, this tower is somewhat famous.
It's just that it is different from the [Artisan's Statue (gold)] and [Red Gold Barrier Pillar (gold)].
This [Elemental Secret Research Tower (Gold)] has good magic attack capabilities.
By consuming a certain amount of magic power, random sixth-level group attack magic can be released.
The cooling time is only ten minutes.
The sixth-level magic cast by the sixth-level magic master has a cooling time of several hours.
It goes without saying that the power and range of group attack magic are natural.
Just like Favid, as long as his teammates can protect him.
Just the third-level rain of fire in his hand can cause damage to a group of enemies.
Not to mention other more powerful high-level group attack magic.
So this effect is quite powerful.
In addition to being able to cast sixth-level magic, it can also detonate mana and shoot magic arrows.
Both can cause very good killing effects on cluster targets.
"It's like giving me a pillow if I feel sleepy."
"This tower will come in handy."
"It can be considered as one more fort."
Zong Shen raised his eyebrows and grasped it with one hand.
The coverage area of this research tower is the same as the [Statue of Craftsman], which can cover a very large area with a radius of 100 kilometers. Of course, this area has a restriction, that is, it must be within Zong Shen's territory.
For example, Zong Shen's current territory is level eight, so the territory's radius is eight kilometers.
The attack range of the research tower can only reach a radius of eight kilometers at most.
The actual extent of the territory determines the true coverage of the research tower.
In this way, it is impossible for Zong Shen to sit at home and let the research tower attack territory a hundred kilometers away.
But after the defensive challenge is over, he can plant flags in the mines and poisonous swamps.
Both locations are less than 100 kilometers from the territory.
By then, the few buildings in the territory will basically be able to achieve coverage.
The same is true for [Thunderland Wonders (Incomplete)].
"When Mariel is finished, let her build the research tower."
"This thing needs to be recharged!"
"Fortunately, there are many charging... masters in the territory. Taking turns meditating and inputting them, we should be able to charge one million magic points in the next few days."
Zong Shen touched the stubble on his chin and thought thoughtfully.
After the drawing is learned and mastered, it will be automatically added to the [Construction] list.
Since it is a complete building, it does not need to consume any resources. It is a pending option by default and can be constructed at any time.
After checking the drawings, Zong Shen took out the legendary jewelry equipment.
As for the fifth-level recruitment scrolls, he collected them separately and put them together with the recruitment scrolls he had obtained before.
At that time, unified recruitment will be more convenient.
This jewelry equipment is a brooch with a white jade inlaid in the middle.
There are two green leaf carvings below to set off the jade in the middle.
[Heart of the Tribune (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Effects: Charm +12, Wisdom +6, Control +5]
[Skill: In the name of the people (a selection can be held every 30 days to select three heroes from farmers who will be promoted to hero-level talents with corresponding qualifications)]
[Passive skill: Protect the people like a child (farmer control +500, refugee attraction increased by 25%)]
(To tell you the truth, this jewelry has a lot to do with [Ring of the Tribune (Purple)]. The two skills have similar effects and can be superimposed on each other. They can be easily given to Mariel so that she can take the position of internal affairs officer. Better glow and heat)
Seeing the word tribune, Zong Shen remembered the previous [Ring of Tribune].
In this way, Mariel will have 800 points of farmer control.
The previous [Ring of the Tribune (Purple)] provided an active skill called a call to arms.
It is equivalent to being able to temporarily transform farmers into first-order militiamen.
It's also quite useful sometimes.
The initiative of [Heart of the Tribune (orange)] is much more interesting.
Three heroic talents can be selected from farmers every month.
It can also be regarded as a stable source of heroes!
Over time, you will be able to accumulate a group of heroic talents for the territory.
Of course, judging from the current situation, there should be no shortage of heroic talents among the aborigines.
As long as you put some thought into it, there is no problem at all in constructing a complete hero control structure.
Regardless of gossip, Zong Shen has decided to give this [Heart of Tribune (orange)] to Mariel!
The next item is also a piece of equipment.
This is a gentleman's tall hat, all black, with a white band on the brim.
It is an alternative type of head protection.
The accompanying skills are also very interesting.
[Trick hat (purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Head protection: 20]
[Durability: 300]
[Wisdom required: 40]
[Skill: Deception (after activation, it can split into two clones instantly, and allow the main body to randomly move to the position of one clone. The two clones can be controlled by the main body's thoughts, and will last for 15 minutes. They will not be attacked by level 4 or below. Detected by magic and the eye of true seeing, the clone has 1000 points of solidity and 15 points of double resistance. After being killed, a cloud of smoke will explode on the spot that can obscure the vision. The cooling time is 12 hours)
Psychokinesis (after activation, you can use your mind to move objects within ten meters around you. You cannot move overweight or large objects, nor can you move living creatures. The duration is 2 minutes and the cooling time is 2 hours)
Illusion Guidance (putting the designated target into an illusion, trapped for 3 seconds to 5 minutes. This skill is invalid for targets with intelligence attributes exceeding 80, and the cooling time is 4 hours)]
[Passive skill: Under the top hat (the top hat can hide the body shape and is compatible with battle helmets)]
(The Trickster Hat is a trick of the Trickster. This hat is just an ordinary Trickster equipment. If you have the opportunity to get higher Trickster equipment, because Tricksters often have some incredible abilities)
The skills attached to this piece of equipment are particularly interesting.
And the practicality is very high.
It can add some auxiliary means for Zong Shen.
Even though the head armor it comes with is not high, it can be stacked with equipment.
In other words, Zong Shen can wear the [Magic Hat (Purple)] while retaining the battle helmet.
In the compatible state, the top hat will also hide its true form in a sensible way, so that it will not look strange.
With such sensible and practical equipment, Zong Shen naturally chose to use it for himself!
It would also be nice to add 20 points of head protection.
He put the top hat directly on the battle helmet, which was not only perfectly compatible but also had the effect of hiding himself.
At this point, there are only two drawings left in the platinum treasure chest.
The level of these two drawings is not high, but their effects are not small at all.
The first is the [Construction Diagram of the Second-Level Territory Science and Technology Research Institute]. With this, the Territory Science and Technology Research Institute can be upgraded smoothly. Just before, Zong Shen issued a [Construction Diagram of the Third-Level Territory Science and Technology Research Institute].
Now you can upgrade the Science and Technology Research Institute to the third level in one go and unlock more upgradable technologies.
Don’t look at the single growth of these technologies is very limited.
But once all the points are filled, the gains will be considerable.
Zong Shen followed the old rules and just clapped his hands to learn.
In the end, there is only one drawing of the trap left.
[Second-level quicksand trap manufacturing diagram]
[Manufacturing technology drawings, after learning them, you can build a second-order quicksand trap by consuming certain resources]
[Effect: Build a quicksand trap that can slow down the enemy's progress]
[Each quicksand trap can be effective up to 100 times]
【(Click to learn)】
(A very practical trap making technology, which can strengthen the defense capabilities of the territory)
Zong Shen had previously obtained the manufacturing diagram for the first-order spike trap and the frost trap manufacturing diagram.
This quicksand trap can also be regarded as a supplement to defensive means.
He learned directly. As for whether to do it or how much to do, it was left to Mariel to decide!
As before, he only needs to formulate a strategy in the general direction.
After he mastered the manufacturing diagram of the quicksand trap, all the harvest from the platinum-level Balrog treasure chest was completed.
Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief and stretched slowly.
The harvesting of treasure chests has come to an end.
It took him more than an hour to check all the treasure chests.
It was already past one in the afternoon.
It is expected that after five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the harvest of those unclaimed territories will be almost completed.
In the next time, he was going to study the redemption of points.
His intuition told him that there should be items related to defensive challenges in the points exchange this time.
Speaking of which, the redemption options at the end of each challenge are always quietly related to the next challenge.
Other lords cannot predict the content of the next challenge, so they cannot think of going to this level.
But Zong Shen is different. Almost every time, Zong Shen knows the content of the challenge in advance.
Then if you look at the redemption options, you can see some clues.
This is also a common practice.
Therefore, Zong Shen has high hopes for this point redemption.
I hope to make the best use of the remaining four to five million points and exchange them for suitable items.
Convert points into items to use against defensive challenges.
If [Blueprint Exchange] could be carried out this time, he wouldn't mind redeeming some more high-level defense towers.
However, in Zong Shen's heart, the knights he longed for the most were the two redemption options, [Special Items] and [Recruitment of Citizens], which had not appeared for a long time.
