Phew!
It’s over, finally over.
The three of them sat on the ground, letting out a breath of relief.
“Time to return in 3,2,1.”
The light shone once again, and the figures of the three disappeared from their original spot.
When Fang Hao reappeared, he was back in his own territory.
He opened the Book of Lords and contacted the other two.
Upon learning that they had all returned safely to their own territories he relaxed.
“Master.” Eira emerged from the Stone Tower of the Lord’s Manor, spotted Fang Hao, and paused in surprise.
She didn’t know when he had returned.
“Yes, Eira, I’m a bit hungry. Prepare something for lunch. Oh right, have someone prepare bathwater too.”
“Alright.”
During the trial, time didn’t exactly stand still, but it certainly moved at a different pace.
The battle in Elenha Village took about seven or eight hours, and they eliminated hundreds of rotten corpses.
But upon their return, it was just past noon, only three or four hours had passed.
Eira went to prepare lunch, and Fang Hao began to review the rewards he had received.
The rewards for the trial were all skills or apprentice-level equipment.
They leaned towards enhancing individual capabilities.
The skill scrolls were Frost Armor and Death’s Visage.
“Do you wish to learn the skill Frost Armor?”
Do you wish to learn the faction legion skill Death’s Visage?” Learn.
The two scrolls turned into dazzling light, directly penetrating Fang Hao’s body.
Frost Armor
Type: Water Elemental Skill
Description: When cast, it forms a defensive armor, adding 35% of your spiritual power to your defense, and any magic cast (except fire magic) will carry a frost effect.
Fang Hao cast it immediately.
A surge of energy rose, forming a light blue protective layer around him.
It felt as though he was wearing a coat made of blue glass
After inspecting the Frost Armor, he moved on to the second skill.
Death’s Visage (Passive)
Type: Undead Legion Skill
Description: Every time a soldier under your command dies, all soldiers are motivated to fight, increasing their attack and defense by 1% (stacking up to
Damn, this legion skill is powerful.
Given how many soldiers he has, just getting trampled to death during battles could easily stack up to too.
To stack up to 100% is pretty much a piece of cake.
Doesn’t it mean that he could sacrifice 100 low-level soldiers to exchange for a 100% increase in both attack and defense for tens of thousands of soldiers?
By then, the combat strength of his soldiers will have reached terrifying heights.
It’s a shame that there’s a cap at too, if there weren’t, it would be perfect.
Imagine stacking up to 100,000 attack power. Even a regular Skeleton Warrior could one-shot kill members of Dragon Clan.
In any case, even with the limit at 100, this skill is quite a powerhouse.
It can increase the combat power of the whole legion.
Enchantment Elixir
Type: Elixir
Ability: Increases the speed of skill casting by 2% permanently.
Description: A magical elixir blended with the blood of tyrants, which will enhance your understanding of magic upon absorption.
Another incredible item.
After drinking it, it increases the speed of skill casting.
In layman’s terms, it reduces the casting time.
This elixir is very important for mages, as good as obtaining a powerful skill.
The remaining Apprentice Magic Robe and Apprentice Magic Wand don’t need further inspection since they are just green beginner equipment.
When the time comes that the Undead Mage’s equipment breaks, replace them with these two.
“Zhang Bin, what skill did you get?” Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords, asking Zhang Bin.
The rewards for equipment should all be beginner level, it’s mainly about which skills they’ve obtained.
“Iron Wall, a skill that can increase my defenses and block effects, and a legion skill, Hold The Line, which increases the army’s defenses and counterattacking ability during defensive battles. It feels like I’m just being slapped around with a I these defense skills. Boss, am I heading down a dead-end road?” Zhang Bin replied.
Whether it’s Iron Wall or the legion skill Hold The Line.
They both sound like defensive skills. Interpreting them as getting-beaten-up skills aren’ t too far off either.
“Tanks in games are the most powerful profession, a real man’s calling,” Fang Hao consoled.
“Well, my physique is getting better and better.”
After ending the chat with Zhang Bin, Fang Hao opened a private chat with Dong Jiayue.
He found out that Dong Jiayue was also rewarded with two skills.
One increases her attack speed; the other, a legion skill, increases troop’s attack speed by 20% and attack power by 5%.
It’s somewhat similar to Ore’s Blood Rage, temporarily increasing mobility and burst power.
After chatting with the two, today’s trial seemed to have finally come to an end.
“Master, your bathwater is ready.” A maid approached.
“Okay.” Fang Hao responded and headed towards the lord’s mansion.
Bathing here wasn’t as simple as in modern times. Someone had to boil the water and then pour it into the bath.
Entering the bathroom.
He took off his clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and a wave of comfort made him feel slightly sleepy.
Just as he was enjoying the moment, he heard the door being opened.
A pair of soft hands landed gently on Fang Hao’s shoulders from behind, before starting to slowly massage him.
When she leaned her head around, Fang Hao saw that it wasn’t Eira who had walked in.
It was the white fox maid who had been assigned to tidy up the basement of the lord’s mansion.
“Why is it you?” Fang Hao asked reflexively.
The maid looked somewhat panicked and hastily replied, “Eira is cooking and
has asked me to assist you with your bath.”
“Oh, okay. Go to the door and get the blue elixir from my bag,” instructed Fang Hao.
He suddenly thought of the Enchantment Elixir he hadn’t taken yet.
This elixir was better consumed early.
“Yes, Master.” The fox-girl complied and retrieved the elixir from his bag beside them and handed it to him.
Having a similar experience before, he didn’t overthink things, uncorked the
bottle, and swiftly gulped it down.
The cool liquid slid down his chest and into his stomach.
First came a chill, then a wave of pain that engulfed his whole body.
His abdomen was like it had become a ball of fire, and his skin turned red instantly as though he was a cooked crab.
“Master, are you alright?” The fox-girl asked softly.
“Hot, too hot.” Even though Fang Hao knew this was the effect of the elixir, he still felt quite uncomfortable.
He immediately stood up from the bath, letting his bare skin be exposed to the air.
Seeing this scene and hearing Fang Hao’s groans, the fox-girl’s face turned bright red, and she slowly started to undress in her shyness.
After she was completely naked, she lowered her head and walked over to Fang Hao’s side. °
When Fang Hao turned around and saw the fox-girl’s condition, he was slightly shocked. She was now even redder than he was.
“I didn’tmean that,” said Fang Hao.
With blushing cheeks, the fox-girl confessed, “Master, I… I’m not very good at this.”
This,…
Though the effects of the elixir didn’t last too long, it left Fang Hao hot and bothered.
An hour later, with the fox-girl’s aid, Fang Hao put on fresh clothes and they both exited the bathroom together.
