Rumble!

Thousands of pounds of water poured down from hundreds of feet of cliffs, crashing against the hard cliff with a ferocious crashing sound, and the roar of the waterfall could be heard miles away.

Nature's wrestling wonders have created one of the most beautiful landscapes outside the city of Saar, with a deep turquoise pool beneath the waterfall, and several mossy reefs outcropping above the waterhole, which endure the waterfall day and night.

And Leon, standing on the largest of them, is on top of one of the largest rocks!

The violent waterfall slammed down on his body mercilessly, and there was the most violent collision with the soul armor of the body, the red flame soul armor sizzled, and the evaporated water vapor was fleeting, leaving no trace.

The impact force of the waterfall and the violent erosion of the flame soul armor by the water flow could not shake Leon's figure, he was like a reef in Tan Zhong standing still, as if he was an eternal existence.

He practiced at the bottom of the waterfall for a month!

Leon held Gustav Rhein's Inheritance Soul Core tightly in his hand, and since he was promoted to Soul Armor Warrior in the battle with Naga that day, he has successfully broken the second seal in the soul core and obtained a new inheritance of skills.

Using the power of the waterfall impact to cultivate the soul power of the soul armor is one of the unique cultivation methods of the dragon soul warrior Gustav.

This cultivation method is quite dangerous, it is equivalent to using the waterfall as a huge hammer, repeatedly tempering the samurai's **, soul power and soul armor, and urging every bit of potential in the human body to be sent out domineeringly.

It can be said to be a confrontation between man and nature.

In the beginning, Leon could barely stand on the slippery rocks, and several times was washed down into the deep pool by the water of the waterfall, which terrified even the hippopotamus warriors who frolicked in the water.

However, the setback did not make Leon choose to give up, he climbed the rock reef again and again, gritted his teeth and straightened his waist and held his chest high, condensing the power of the soul armor to withstand the bombardment on his body.

In the midst of his repeated failures, he gradually mastered a new knack for using his soul power, and his time on the rocks became longer and longer.

Through this almost masochistic cultivation method, the soul power condensed in Leon's soul core became more and more refined, and the time to maintain the armor became longer and longer.

No one's success is a fluke, and in Gustav's memory, this beast clan powerhouse who was hundreds of years strong cultivated under the waterfall for three years, and only left after breaking through to the third level of mad soul warrior.

This tenacity and will are undoubtedly a model for Leon to learn.

Lei Ang suddenly opened his eyes, there was a faint flash of thunder in his dark eyes, and the flame soul armor of the protective body suddenly fluctuated a few times, and the color changed from red to purple blue!

Zizi!

Countless tiny electric snakes swam in the splashing water, and several fat hippos who were comfortably bathing in the Tan water suddenly let out a ghost cry and swam to the shore.

Where they had been, several small fish floated up on their bellies.

This is the power of thunder and lightning, and after Leon turns the Flame Soul Armor into the Thunder Soul Armor, the water that hits the soul armor carries thunder power, and the conduction into the pool water will naturally affect the surrounding creatures.

There are two ways of expression of soul armor, one is pure soul power soul armor, and the other is a more powerful elemental soul armor, because Leon has mastered the dual power of fire and thunder, so he can produce one more soul armor than ordinary beast soul warriors.

Don't underestimate the role of dual-system soul armor, when encountering different enemies, different elemental soul armor will exert different abilities.

For example, if Leon encounters an ice mage or samurai, the opponent's elemental attack will have a damage bonus effect on his Fire Soul Armor.

However, if you change to the Thunder Soul Armor, not only does it not have a damage bonus, but the opponent is easily injured by the rebounding thunder force.

Gustav Rhine's Inheritance Soul Core was undoubtedly of great help to Leon, as it allowed him to avoid taking the wrong path and detours on his cultivation path, and the experience and skills in it can only be described as a treasure.

Looking at those few guys who didn't learn their lessons, Leon smiled slightly, and the body protection soul armor changed color again, from blue and purple to pure black - this is the pure soul power soul armor.

He took a deep breath and leaped into the pool with a beautiful leap against the torrent above his head.

When he resurfaced, Leon was already on the shore of the waterhole, he touched his wet face, smiled and said to the stupid hippo warriors, "Go, I invite you to eat grilled fish!"

It has been almost three months since the establishment of the Sal Territory, and after two battles with the swamp demon clan before and after, the Uge tribe can be said to be inseparable from the Sal Territory, and dozens of hippopotamus warriors have become the supernumerary combat force of the thunder beast battle camp.

But the hippos did not choose to settle in Saarland, not because there was no place for them in the city, but because the hippopotamus had their own unique way of life, and city life was not suitable for them.

Leon respects their habits of life and naturally does not interfere with them forcibly, but this does not prevent him from becoming friends with these simple hippos.

Fat Richard's grilled fish nuggets are also a must in Saarland, and have become a favorite of hippos who originally only ate raw fish, but most of them are shy of money, and it is not easy to go to the bar to consume a meal.

So when they heard that Leon was treating, several big guys opened their mouths wider than their heads, and they couldn't see their eyes when they laughed.

Xiao Mi, who had been standing on the shore, shy at these faceless guys, and then happily sent Leon's over.

Since being brought to Sal by Leon, the little cat girl has quickly recovered her health due to her stable and worry-free life, and with the usual love of Rose, little Lori has become more and more beautiful and cute, and has become everyone's beloved baby.

She is the closest to Rose, but whenever she has time, she will come to pester Leon, and in the past few days, she has run to the waterhole every day to watch Leon cultivate, which is not boring at all.

Leon put on his coat, patted Catwoman's little head gently, and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

Like Xiao Mi, Sal City is changing every day.

On the city square, the statue of the beast god was completely erected, and only the last details were carved and polished.

The nearby church is more than halfway complete, new buildings are rising nearby, and black smoke rises from a newly completed smelting workshop – a sign of Saarland's prosperity, despite the sight of a.

On the streets, pedestrians are no longer just city residents, but also fierce mercenaries, who haunt the shops to buy the supplies and materials they need, including merchants.

Half a month ago, the Sal City Mercenary Union Office was officially established, and began to issue tasks, and the mercenaries followed.

The unexplored virgin land, the relatively low prices, the charming natural scenery around Saarland and the abundance of materials all attract mercenaries who come here.

As the number of immigrants increases, second bars, inns and other commercial facilities have sprung up in the city, and the rapid changes are dizzying.

Fat Richard's porcupine bar did even better, and although his bar didn't have the same pretty barmaids as the other Bartrimia merchant group, his superb cooking skills retained and attracted those who liked good food.

Many times, Leon also dins at the porcupine bar, although there are other chefs in the Lord's Palace.

It was noon, and most of the seats in the bar were full, but Leon had his own lord's seat, so he didn't have to compete with others.

He sat down with Xiao Mi and a few hippopotamus warriors who were eating rice, and when he noticed Rubin and the two craftsmen walking in, he beckoned them to come and join them.

Rubin is also the number one person in the Thrall Realm, managing dozens of Terran craftsmen under his command, and can call on two thousand greenskin goblins at any time, and even thunder beast warriors can be dispatched by him if necessary.

But today the craftsman looked a little depressed, and after sitting down, he began to complain to Leon.

What he is talking about is a new problem that Salling is currently facing.

Since the formation of the Sal Mercenary Guild, Bartleymie's caravans have been frequently transporting supplies, and Collingworth's trade blockade policy against Sal has become untenable.

As Leon had predicted, when more and more merchants in the Gray area noticed the emerging Sal Domain, the pressure on the Collinworth Leader family increased sharply, and Viscount Melle had the confidence to resist the many powerful merchant groups behind him.

As a result, the trade blockade of Collingworth was quickly lifted, and caravans were no longer prohibited from entering the Saarlands through Collingworth, but Viscount Melle was not resigned to his defeat and began to impose high taxes on incoming and outgoing caravans.

It is perfectly legal for a territory to levy a tax on passing merchants, and a high tax will certainly displease the caravan, but the surname is completely different from prohibiting the caravan from passing.

After all, Salling has just been established, and the business that can be done is not large, so many business groups have given up their plans to enter Salling.

This disguised trade blockade greatly increased the cost of obtaining supplies from the outside world, and the taxes paid by the caravans entering the territory would eventually fall on the head of the Sall, which was equivalent to the Collings sucking blood from the Salls.

A mine near Saarland and the city's smelting workshop are now operational, and many fine iron and weapons are being crafted every day, and both Leon and Rubin hope that these metal items will become an important source of income for Saarling.

But Collingworth's trade barriers made the export of these products problematic, and unprofitable merchants were reluctant to buy them, and the finished products piled up in the workshops.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to solve this problem, you first focus on smelting and reduce the number of weapons you build. Leon comforted Rubin.

He made a decision in his mind.
