Chapter 532 New Equipment

Under the escort of a group of knights, Elizabeth took the lead and walked into the castle gates.

Elizabeth's stronghold was located in the dense forest, not far from the foot of the snowy mountains, in a hidden location. If scouts in the forest couldn't fly, they wouldn't be able to see the castle.

Lu Yu followed Elizabeth to the city gate. There was a loud bang, and the castle gates began slowly rising.

"Oh right, each force dispatched two teams here, right? I heard that one group of the Lionheart Empire is from the royal family, and the other is from the army. Is that true?"

Elizabeth nodded and did not deny it.

"Exactly. A large group of our army has also entered the ancient ruins, but I haven't had much interaction with them as they have their things to do."

"However, if I run into any danger here, I'll ask them for help. No matter what they're busy with, they must come to save me at once."

Elizabeth turned around and looked at Lu Yu, saying, "There are thousands of people from the military here. There is basically no other force that has more people than them."

Lu Yu nodded. "I see..."

The castle gates completely opened, and they walked in.

Lu Yu was attracted by the surrounding scenery when he walked into the castle.

The surroundings were filled with standard residential buildings and various facilities.

The most important looking thing was the massive villa in the center. This villa looked like a huge church, with sharp spikes on a round roof. It gave off a completely different architectural style.

The entire building was snowy-white, giving off a holy and glorious feeling.

"Let's go in and take a rest."

Elizabeth took the lead and walked into the villa. They reached the living room and sat on the sofa.

The villa's interior was luxurious, but it was in line with Lu Yu's imagination of the royal family, so it wasn't too surprising.

"Right, let's see what good equipment you have."

Elizabeth nodded. "According to what you said, what you want is in line with equipment for the assassin class. Of course, I have them."

The classification of equipment was usually based on different classes.

The most obvious difference was the difference in equipment between assassins and warriors.

An assassin's equipment was lighter, and they would focus on increasing stealth and speed attributes. Some also kept you from being controlled and imbued you with escape abilities.

On the other hand, a warrior's equipment would usually increase both defense and attack attributes. Some could increase combat power, while others could provide shields and the like.

For Lu Yu, the equipment of the assassin class was better suited for him.

Lu Yu's attack power was his most outstanding attribute and brought about strong attributes if he could hit his enemy.

Therefore, Lu Yu's first choice was to avoid a head-on clash with his enemy. As long as he had enough agility, it would be enough to sustain his battles.

The enemies that Lu Yu faced were getting increasingly faster in their speed, making Lu Yu feel a little powerless. It would be better if he could make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible.

"Assassin-type equipment it is, then. Let me see what I have."

Elizabeth nodded, then turned her head and shouted, "Butler, bring over the equipment we have."

Soon, an older man with white hair and a walking stick slowly walked over.

He glanced at Lu Yu and the others with his deep, hazy eyes, then nodded slightly.

He took out his storage ring. With a flash of light, a few pieces of equipment appeared on the table in the living room.

"The first one we have is a set of tight-fitting chain mail with black tights."

"Its defense and speed increase are both pretty good. It also has a special ability that allows you to detect enemies around you."

Hearing the butler's introduction, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Not this; I don't need equipment to help detect the enemies around me."

"Then... how about this?"

"Cloud Breaking Cloak. It looks like a black turtleneck sweater but has a hidden mystery. The inside is inlaid with a board made of special materials. The material on the outside is also special, allowing you to resist most elemental attacks."

"The most important thing is that this equipment can turn your body into a cloud of smoke and then appear in other places. It's a type of displacement skill. Whether it's used to escape or as a cover-up, it's quite effective."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's interest was immediately piqued. The effect of turning the entire body into smoke was similar to Han Xuefei's cloak. However, this equipment was of Purple Grade, and its imbued attributes were much higher.

Most importantly, it gave the user a strong defense! With this equipment, Lu Yu's defense wouldn't be weaker than before. Instead, it would be even stronger!

"Alright, I'll take this!"

"Sure, you can try it on first."

Lu Yu took the Cloud Breaking Cloak and put it on in a few moments.

This black, tight-fitting high-collared shirt perfectly fits Lu Yu's body, showing off his muscles.

The clear lines of his muscles made the few beautiful women gulp.

Lu Yu felt comfortable wearing this set of clothes, and he could even put on another jacket over it.

"Is there any other equipment?" Lu Yu asked.

"What kind of equipment do you need?" The butler asked.

"I need to equip myself with a piece of long-range combat equipment. It'd be best if they were of a stronger variant, or else there's no need for me to equip them."

Lu Yu had very few methods to make long-range attacks at the moment. He could do it with his Thunder Dragon Claw and the Flowing Water Dragon Claw, but they were slightly ineffective.

The rest of his claws couldn't reach very far.

It would be much better if he could get a piece of long-range combat equipment.

After the butler heard Lu Yu's words, he searched through his items intently.

Very quickly, he placed a dart on the table.

The dart was in the shape of a cross and looked sharp. It was made entirely of silver.

"This dart is called the Explosive Star. As long as it hits the enemy, it will cause an explosion on the enemy's body. The power of its explosion is great and can completely shatter the enemy's shielding, reducing the enemy's defense by half!"

Upon hearing this introduction, Lu Yu's eyes lit up!

A dart that could break through shielding—just this ability alone was impressive!

For example, Lu Yu's Golden Barrier was a type of shielding method!

A powerful shield could block fatal skills at crucial moments.

If Lu Yu could easily break his enemies' shield at a crucial moment, it would be a game changer!

At that moment, Wang Meng couldn't help but ask, "What if this dart is thrown out and can't be recovered?"

"I'm sure you've never used a dart-like weapon before," the butler commented with a smile.

"This weapon is like a battle pet. You have to connect yourself to it. As long as you throw it out, even if it is thrown somewhere you can't find, you can summon it back to your hand at any time."

Hearing this, Wang Meng was excited by its prospect. "Brother, this is so useful!"
