[Hammer of Dizziness: Explodes with Yang Flame Energy, consuming 10 points of Spiritual Energy to form a Spiritual Warhammer, delivering a Heavy Strike to the opponent's will, causing 10 points of Spiritual Damage and stunning the enemy for 1 second. Cooldown 10s (Note: Cannot be evaded, can be blocked! If the will check is passed, only damage is taken, and stun is immune.)]
Indeed, it's worthy of being a war unit; the more there are, the stronger the power. If twelve knights are assembled, physical defense is directly increased by 50%, and there's a 70% chance every five seconds to gain a 300-point spiritual shield. The strength will sharply rise a level.
Two powerful knights stood beside Lin Rui, making the five farmers more reverent, even Jinhua, who was rescued from the snake's belly, dared not show any dissatisfaction, respectfully watching Lin Rui put away all the items and enter the city hall.
The city hall was quite magical; the stench from the Mad Snake's occupation was completely gone, as if an invisible breeze had swept through, leaving the air dry and fresh.
At the core of the city hall, there was a glowing gem fixed on a stone platform.
As the two knights approached within three meters of the stone platform, a circular transparent barrier separated them, only Lin Rui could enter unaffected.
As Lin Rui approached, the gem emitted a gentle light.
[Ding, the Territory Keystone has been activated; the current territory is Golden Pansy Domain (can be renamed once)]
[Lord: Lin Rui: Golden Pansy]
[Level: Broken Village Level 1 (cannot be upgraded)]
[Buildings: City Hall Level 1, one Fisherman's Hut, 35 acres of Wheat Field.]
[Constructible Buildings: Village House, Latrine, Lumberyard, Quarry, Mine, Tavern, Flower Garden, Pharmacy Workshop, Hunter's Lodge, Mill, Well.]
[Population: 9/100]
[Public Sentiment: 60/100]
[Resources: Spirit Crystal Coin 0, Realm Coin 1587, Food 3056, Wood 1200, Iron Mine 85, Stone Mine 250 (Resources have been automatically stored in the city hall cellar, this is a territory activation privilege, available only once.)]
Having a population of 9 surprised Lin Rui, because even including himself, there were only eight people present. The additional one should be the fisherman near the lake, since the only other structure not destroyed within the territory, aside from the wheat field, was the Fisherman's Hut.
Lin Rui tapped his finger on the village house icon, and detailed information for the village house immediately appeared: [Village House: The most basic residential dwelling for five people. Construction requires 3 people, 100 Realm Coins, 100 wood, and 100 stone, taking 6 hours.]
The consumption of wood and stone were both displayed in ordinary white text, only the Realm Coin consumption was in glaring red. When Lin Rui tapped on it, a detailed explanation appeared below: "Lack of architect, required for forced construction."
This "Era of Civilization" is really thorough. Lin Rui exclaimed, then chose to construct a village house. After Lin Rui clicked, the map of the Golden Pansy Territory popped up, clearly indicating that Lin Rui needed to choose a building site.
Lin Rui chose the site next to the wheat field. These five farmers settled down next to the wheat field.
As for the two knights, they naturally stayed at the city hall with Lin Rui.
Lin Rui took the opportunity to look at the territory map, seeing that the displayed range was only five miles around, not even as far as Lin Rui's visual distance.
But the significance was entirely different; within these five miles, everything belonged to Lin Rui, and everything was clearly marked, effectively being like an enhanced map hack.
For instance, 200 meters west of the city hall, 3 meters underground, a bronze treasure chest was buried, and in the northeast direction of the city hall, there was a resource point. Resource points are resources exclusive to the lord, providing a certain share of material to the lord every day once occupied.
To the east of the city hall, within the territory forest, there was a relic. A relic is like a mysterious treasure, as no one knows what opportunities lie within. It could yield resources, blessings, strong units, or even a legendary hero! In any case, it's all down to luck.
Besides this, there were some scattered materials. Overall, the five-mile radius was full of beneficial resources. The system had set a circular protection zone here, and the residents inside wouldn't suffer any harm, but outside this area, various risks awaited.
After sending three people to build the housing, Lin Rui commanded two farmers to fetch water as preparations for roasting meat, treating himself for the grueling battle of over ten hours. He sent two knights to dig up the bronze treasure chest to the west.
Lin Rui himself took out all the treasure chests, one Silver Treasure Chest and two bronze treasure chests, and adding the one the knight dug up, made a total of four treasure chests.
He planned to open them all at once, aiming for a fortune overnight!
First opened were the two bronze treasure chests: [Ding, you opened a bronze treasure chest and received "Experience Book" *2]
[Ding, received Realm Coin 530]
[Ding, received Crossbow (Ordinary Level) *2]
[Ding, received Cowhide Shield (Ordinary Level) *3]
[Ding, received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Famished Battleaxe: Swing Damage 18-25, Blunt Strike Damage 8, Physique +1, hitting the target adds a layer of Bloodlust Mark, each layer increases damage by 5 points, over ten layers, adds bleeding effect, 10 points/minute.]
[Ding, you opened a bronze treasure chest and received Realm Coin 350]
[Ding, received Small Resource Pack]
[Ding, received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Emerald Staff: Spiritual Damage +10, Wisdom +1, Spiritual Recovery Speed +5/h, Life Recovery Speed +1/h, Magic Mishap Damage -10.]
The Enhanced-level Magic Staff was quite good, and Lin Rui immediately equipped it. The materials from opening the two bronze treasure chests varied greatly in quantity, with the former spreading out profusely, while the latter offering only a few items.
