------------------- dividing line-----------------
When Chen Kai woke up, he found himself sleeping in a mage's room, which had once been the real room of Rainak Hopkins' ** teacher, and now became Chen Kai's zero-hour station. There were multiple tents scattered throughout the room, but the number of tents and players was much lower, with only about sixty people nested in the room, and almost all of them were injured.
Xu Fei woke up later than Chen Kai, his body in the game was injured even more severely than Chen Kai, a flying ore directly smashed his thigh, and now his feet were still bandaged and framed with wooden planks.
From time to time, a little green HP recovery number flashed in his head, but sometimes a little red blood deduction suddenly flashed.
"34 seriously injured and 21 lightly injured! Forty-seven died! The death blaster is terrifying! Chen Kai looked at the teammates who had disappeared more than half of the team management column, and there were three of them in his own team alone. The entire team was basically disabled, and only a few players who were carried out first were still intact.
The best fit in the entire team is the Priest, and most of the Priests don't take much damage due to the fact that they basically hide in the back during the battle. Then there are the thieves and the rangers, two thieves and a ranger who were carried away from the distance because they began to be attacked by arcane lightning.
Fei Yun and Zhou Xuan's bodies were hugged when they were found, Fei Yun wanted to press Zhou Xuan under his body, but the two of them were hit on the head by a blown ore and became a pair of unlucky mandarin ducks. As for Wang Xuewen, he was the most unlucky, he was directly hit by the death shockwave, and he directly became a pile of coke.
Chen Kai originally wanted to collect the corpses of the people who had turned into charcoal again, but found that the corpses turned into scattered ashes as soon as they touched it. And the most painful thing for players who have turned to char is that the equipment they wear on their bodies has also become a pile of garbage under this spell, and even the best craftsmen can't repair them.
Fortunately, Chen Kai promised them to let them choose suitable things from the mage equipment and other professional equipment they found again, which had been kept in the backpacks and space equipment of several of Chen Kai and his captains. And this time, almost all the members of the fighting force as the captain survived, except for a few seriously injured who were still being rescued by the priest, and the injuries of the others were not very serious.
As the leader of a squad, there is always a little means to save his life, such as the Hag Blue Blue Road who was lying on the bed and was rescued by several priests together, almost every time he thought he was going to hang, and his health dropped to only a little bit, but a piece of equipment on his body flashed under the stimulation of divine magic, and then regained more than a dozen points of vitality.
That tenacious Cheng dù reminded everyone of Xiao Qiang found in those cabinets of the Spell Association, which was even stronger than Xiao Qiang. At least Chen Kai didn't have the kind of spell equipment that made him so strong, that equipment was simply a life-saving weapon.
It's a pity that no matter which angle you look at, that piece of equipment is the same as the giant sword on Chen Kai's back, and it is impossible to change to a new owner.
"That's right! How's the clean-up of our people's bodies? Chen Kai asked Xu Fei, who hung his thighs on a high rope.
"It's fine! Most of the corpses have been collected, but there is no way to collect the ones in the garden, and by the time we killed those four bastards, those corpses had absorbed too much filthy power and had been completely corpsed! Xu Fei bit the bread and answered Chen Kai's question, the so-called collection of corpses is to get all the corpses together and let them naturally turn into small urns.
Of course, the so-called urn is also for the sake of harmony, and in the bloody mode, these corpses will remain until their original owners are resurrected, and then these corpses will slowly turn into points of light and disappear into the air. Of course, there will still be some bones left on the ground as a testimony to the place where the battle was fought.
Over time, these bones will gradually disappear, or they will be contaminated with filth and become new monsters, dead creatures from the bones left behind by the player's corpse.
The so-called corpse is a theory that the player's body is contaminated with filth before being resurrected, and generally speaking, the corpse body will not affect the player's resurrection, but will become a new monster. It can become a skeleton creature or a zombie with flesh and blood.
Of course, most of the time there are more skeletal creatures, after all, it takes a little more force to move ** than it does to just push the bones to move. Of course, it doesn't mean that the dead creatures will be weaker after covering **, but the zombies covered ** are more powerful than the skeleton creatures.
Even the strength of bronze-level zombies is higher than that of black iron-level skeleton creatures, which is not only that they can use the power of darkness, but the most important thing is that they absorb the power of darkness for a long time to make their ** hard.
Compared to skeletal creatures with only bones left, zombies have two layers of defense and are a little less weak. However, the conditions for zombies to spawn are more difficult than those of bone creatures, and the concentration of filthy power required to resurrect them is enough to turn several corpses into bone creatures at once.
The best way to dispose of the corpse of a corpse is to burn it, but if you do that, you may lose your equipment when you are resurrected. If the equipment from the player's corpse is removed and burned, the resurrected player may not be equipped anymore.
Therefore, Chen Kai and the others could only watch as those corpses turned into corpses one step closer, and then temporarily sealed the door with the door panels that had been removed from the other mage's rooms. Those doors that had infiltrated the spell materials could stop the filthy aura from leaking out, which was why Chen Kai and the others saw a little filthy aura outside the garden.
If they had known the situation earlier, Chen Kai's losses would not have been so great. The most important thing is that death shockwave, Cheng Dù, a dead creature with wisdom, exceeded Chen Kai's expectations, directly using his own kind as a sacrifice, and the sacrifice became the source of spell casting, and then took away more than forty lives at once.
Chen Kai grabbed hard and found an emblem from the Bone Arcanist, this kind of emblem could only be obtained from the Spell Guild when the senior mage was about to be promoted to a mentor according to the few remaining mages. Of course, the important thing is not this, but the name on the emblem, no matter how many times Chen Kai looked at it, he found that the emblem clearly wrote "Renak Hopkins", a name that made Chen Kai feel strange.
And this name not only made Chen Kai feel strange, but also frightened all the mages, because this kind of emblem only exists when the mage is promoted to the rank of instructor, and any emblem is contaminated with the blood of the mage, and it is impossible to imitate it.
If this emblem is true, then it means that the guy who was smashed by Chen Kai with a hammer is the real Renak Hopkins, so who is the chairman of the Adolic Spell Society?
Holding the prop in his hand that might lead to a quest, Chen Kai was obviously pondering, he had also done this kind of quest triggered by the quest prop, and the pendant that Lady Mary gave to her sister lying in his backpack was such a thing. There is no quest prompt, and the quest can only be activated when it is placed in front of the quest activator.
But who is the activator of this quest? Is that the chairman of the board, Renak? Thinking of the fate of holding the items after the other party showed his true face, Chen Kai felt that his hairs were straight. Renak is a ** division, and it is easier for the ** division of the Holy Order to clean him up than to pinch the clay figures.
The time to lick the wound was always helpless, and when Chen Kai and the others had to recuperate because of the injury, a large number of players rushed around Yadog. While fighting guerrilla warfare with the skeletal creatures of the wild, he strives to find any chance to enter the treasure hunt of Yadog.
Chen Kai: The location where they dug a tunnel into Adogh was discovered by other players and turned into a passage in and out of Adog, but it was only a day before it was occupied by thousands of skeletal creatures. Of course, most of the skeleton creatures are transformed by the death of the player, and there are some of the player's limbs and flesh scattered around the skeleton creatures.
With the unremitting efforts of more than 300,000 players, there are always a few lucky teams of players who rushed into Yadog. Faced with the interior of the city emptied to defend itself against player attacks, and a large number of rotting garbage bones, many players with very good luck have captured the former Imperial Bank at a small cost.
Although the 100,000-strong army that attacked the Imperial Bank eventually escaped less than 3,000 people, they brought back nearly 20,000 magic crystals. For this reason, Siyuan Company and major banks had to urgently limit the amount of gold coins that players can redeem, and a gold coin-to-huàn platform based on players' independent transactions was established to prevent a large number of gold coins from being exchanged for huàn from impacting the in-game trade. Of course, the main thing is to prevent large quantities of gold coins from being converted into cash, which is not what these international bankers want to see.
Although the players who took it out only brought out 20,000 Mana Crystals, many of the players involved in the final breach of the Imperial Bank vault claimed that many of the coins were not white. In addition to crystal coins, there are also a huge number of purple gold coins, mythril coins, and various spell material warehouses.
Whether or not what those players said was true, most of the players who participated in the action received at least a thousand gold coins. However, the success of this operation caused a lot of suffering for the players behind them, and a large number of player corpses spawned a large number of dead creatures. In addition, some of the originally decaying skeleton creatures have become more resilient after absorbing some elements in the fresh corpse, and some people have calculated that the number of silver-level bones found at this stage is fully double that of the siege stage.
This discovery caused the lords who built the castle on the outskirts to curse loudly, because the appearance of a large number of silver-level bones meant that the possibility of them defending against the next wave of bone creatures was once again reduced. The silver skeleton of the Great Knight Rank is not comparable to the skeleton of the Black Iron Rank, and the defense of that body is simply terrifying, and it is hit head-on by the crossbow arrow of the bed crossbow without even a bit of bone chips.
In the constant scolding, the owners of those castles who have not yet obtained the title of knight nobles are working hard to build their own costs, and rely on the teleportation array that they have bought at a large price to constantly shuttle between the castle and the city where their lord is located. He pulled out the gold coins he had managed to get his hands on and continued to strengthen the walls, which they thought were not very defensive against high-level skeletal creatures.
To the delight and frustration of these lord-type players, the first player to receive the knighthood appeared a month after the player worked hard to build the castle. As the deputy lord of the Thundering Fortress, Lin Lei was crowned as the Thundering Knight, and the title of the main lord Chen Kai was increased by half a level. A dozen other knight captains received the title of squire officer.
The premise of this qiē was that in order to ensure the food supply of the city, Lin Lei, under the opposition of Li Yi and others, resolutely used a city lord-level lord hall construction map for the reward he received for transporting Tyr's holy body. A defensive barrier and a hall of nobility were added to the original hall of the lords, but this drawing, which seemed very frustrating at the beginning, surprised everyone.
Thundering Castle was officially recognized as a knightly fortress castle and its name was changed to Thundering Fortress. As Chen Kai, who already owns a territory, he can't get the name of this fortress as a name suffix, because a knight nobleman can't own two territories.
So in the end, the lordship was transferred to Lin Lei, and he became the first player to receive the title of knight for building a castle. Lin Lei was still quite satisfied with the suffix of this thunder, Ray San Gonzalez Thunder sounded okay, and the large number of attendants who appeared after him made his knighthood even more prominent.
And now the player finally understands that the system recognizes that the castle was built not because of the walls and the size of the castle, but because of the construction of the lord's hall and its annexes. Only the hall of the lord and the hall of the attached nobles built according to the drawings given by the system can meet the requirements for recognition of the system, and must also be a higher level of the hall of the lord.
For example, for knight-level castles, the lord's hall must be city-level, not knight-level. The hall built in that way can only obtain the title of squire officer at most, as for why Chen Kai didn't get the hint at the beginning, it may be because he is a knight himself.
After the establishment of Thundering Castle, Lynray received the support of his lord lord, Count Adorik. Under his command, more than a dozen earth elemental mentor-level mages brought more than two dozen high-level earth elemental mages to help build the castle, and also helped him build the lowest level of spell defense, two blacksmith shops, and artisan workshops.
He was allowed to make his own bed crossbows and low-grade catapults, he was allowed to make his own standard swords and shields, and he was allowed to officially obtain a full-fledged cavalry regiment of three hundred men. And not the previous order of knights that resembled mercenary nature.
Of course, Lin Lei also received a letter from Count Adolic to bring him as a mage advisor, because the location where he built the castle was too far away from Addoric, so far away that it was basically beyond the reach of Count Adoric's power. For this reason, he had to return a piece of land the size of the castle to another lord in order to gain the right to occupy the land where the Thundering Castle was located.
And after Count Adolic began to support Ringray, players finally understood why it was so difficult to build a castle and get a knighthood. After obtaining the knighthood, the lord's support is simply jealous of those guild players who fail to build castles, and not counting the help to re-fortify the castle, the lord's own support is almost equal to half of the player's investment.
Of course, that's for knightly nobles, and the Squire's castle gets a lot less support, only a tenth of what they put in. Even so, with the help of a large number of aboriginal mages, the castles built by the player have been made more than a notch in terms of fortification.
One of Count Adolik's spell advisors, a **-level earth elemental mage, just pressed the ground with his hand and instantly strengthened the already rocky city wall. The earth mages eventually turned all the walls into a monolithic body resembling white marble.
Inside the marble walls were also infiltrated by these mages with a large amount of metal ore, which was paid for by Count Adorik. After the mages teleported away, the entire Thundering Castle became a huge white fortress, which Lin Lei called the White Castle, and more players called the castle the White Crab.
As for why Chen Kai was not supported by the city lord when he was there, according to the ** master named Quiz-J-Ikulian. The lord of the Berkner knights was not Adoryk, but the emperor of the Hansting Empire, Tiraz R. Aurora. Due to the location of Adog, His Majesty could not give any kind of support to the Count of Berkna, and as a knightly nobleman, he was not allowed to own two castles.
It can be allowed when it is built, but once it is built, it can only automatically give way. This is also the reason why Chen Kai's title was only mentioned by half a rank instead of being directly promoted to the lord, according to the original calculation, Chen Kai's title should be promoted to the lord after the castle is recognized, but now it seems impossible. However, it is not without its benefits to raise half a level, at least the height of the castle walls can be increased by a few meters again.
Now the walls of the entire castle are as smooth as mirrors, and in order to increase the smoothness, Lin Lei also mobilized everyone to put a layer of wax on the walls after the mages left. As a result, tens of thousands of gold coins were spent on the purchase of paraffin alone, but the benefits were obvious. At least none of the thousands of thieves could climb the walls, not even a meter.
After the castle was fully established, the expected benefits began to show up gradually, and a large number of players who wanted to enter the Adogr to make a fortune took the guò road to reach the Thundering Castle, as the closest castle to the Adog, the Thundering Castle is also the highest fortress in the entire Adog's outer wall. The exceptionally complete defense system made a large number of players choose to take this path into Yadog, and the arrival of players also made the gradual rise of commerce.
The two blacksmiths not only provide a large number of replaceable standard equipment, but also repair equipment. But because of Adorg's terrible reputation, not a single native blacksmith was willing to work in Thundering Castle, no matter how high the price was for Ringing. Therefore, the staff in the blacksmith shop are all filled by players, and although the skills of life players are not high, they can still be built and repaired according to the map.
