Zhaoming's healing light erased the scars on the two soldiers' bodies, but his own internal injuries could not be recovered.

Seeing Zhaoming so embarrassed, Lin Duhou was very satisfied, and he glanced at the magician wrapped in a thick cloak beside him.

"It's not in vain that I spent a lot of money, and I gave Zhaoming such a heavy blow as soon as I made a move."

Magicians' magic weapons are often bound to the master's soul, and even if outsiders get them, they can't use them.

But the price is that once this relationship is forcibly dissolved, the mage will be severely backlashed.

This is the case for now.

Although the secret sand table is a prop given by the system, it has also been soul-bound with Zhaoming. And Zhaoming spent thousands of faith points to upgrade the sand table before and after, and the backlash effect caused was even more serious.

The accompanying Templars stared angrily at Lin Duhou, eager to kill him on the spot.

But the sad thing is that the other party is a secular nobleman, and as a subordinate of the church, the knights cannot directly act roughly.

On the other hand, Lin Duhou's side has vicious intentions.

There was no real knife and robbery between the two sides, and the church couldn't do anything to find Lin Duhou after tracking it down, and maybe he would be charged with picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

In the end, Zhaoming forcibly suppressed the anger of his companions and returned to Black Rock City with the team.

Ezekiel said worriedly, "Captain, let's go slowly." ”

They didn't dare to go too fast, for fear of causing a second trauma to Zhaoming.

But Zhaoming shook his head, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and replied tenaciously: "It's okay, small injury, go quickly!" ”

Then he led everyone to hurry in the direction of Black Rock City.

The Shadow continued to accelerate and charge forward, and the people behind him couldn't catch up.

"Commander (lord), don't go so fast, be careful of your wounds!"

Zhaoming was still prostrate on the back of the horse, and sat up straight when he heard everyone's words.

"I'm really fine! Come on! ”

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, why did the lord who was still dying just now suddenly come to life?

But they all obeyed the order, and the speed was increased to the limit.

While Lin Duhou and his party remained in place, the magician said that he would give him some time to refine the sand table.

The value of a magic instrument to a magician is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Just gathering materials and searching for drawings and recipes can cost a mage years. In the end, the probability of successful refining is even smaller, and many magicians only have some basic tools in their lives, and it is already difficult to be able to make some elements with their bare hands.

The power of the secret sand table is obvious to all, and the magician is impatient to refine it for his own use.

"It's just a little bit closer, let me inject my magic and a little part of my soul......"

The mage was able to feel all the details of the sandbox, which was a sign that the sandbox was being refined.

And Lin Duhou is also very much looking forward to it, once the secret method sand table is mastered by them, the benefits brought are unimaginably exaggerated.

"Zhaoming is really stupid, such a useful thing is actually used to do some meaningless things, either to build water canals for the poor, or to build roads for people!"

Tyrannical Creatures!

This is Lin Duhou's evaluation of Zhaoming.

"When the sand table is in hand, the first thing I do is to rebuild my palace, and then build Lindu City into the world's first cornucopia!"

Lin Duhou seemed to have seen the golden mountains brought to him by the secret sand table.

However, things were destined to disappoint him.

At the critical step of refining, the sand table suddenly produced tiny cracks from the inside, and then a ray of light was revealed from the cracks.

"What is this?"

The magician realizes that something is wrong - this is going to blow himself up!

Bang bang!

The arcane sandbox exploded like a bomb, and the power it released shook everything that came near it away.

According to Zhaoming's prediction, the sand table will definitely be refined as soon as it falls into the hands of the other party, and it is estimated that there will be no chance to regain it in the future.

So instead of cheapening the other party, it's better to destroy it directly!

Although the power of the explosion is exaggerated from the scene, the lethality is actually not great.

The mage closest to the center of the explosion released a purple shield by his side in time, successfully withdrawing a large amount of damage.

And Lin Duhou and his soldiers were only slightly injured.

"What a decisive decision! If it were a different one, I would do the same. ”

The magician who stood there looked at the fragments of the sand table in his hand and felt a pang of regret.

The smoke and dust of the explosion gradually cleared, and the heavy cloak worn by the magician was lifted, revealing her true face.

Lin Duhou's subordinates were shocked by the appearance of this magician, it turned out to be a woman!

……

In Black Rock City, Zhaoming and the others, who had rushed back all the way, were holding a meeting to discuss what to do next.

Trisda sat close to Zhaoming, but her eyes were slightly closed, and she didn't care about herself.

Zhaoming guessed that she was angry with herself.

Actually, Cui Sida didn't care much about Zhaoming's behavior, she was seriously thinking about how to deal with Lin Duhou.

Judging from the current situation, Zhaoming's side still firmly grasps the initiative.

First of all, commercially, Zhaoming has an increasingly mature knight trade circle, and has also tied up with the commercial giant Lawrence family, and Lin Duhou can no longer curb the development of Black Rock financially.

It was a pity that the secret sand table had been destroyed, and they could no longer build all kinds of buildings as quickly as before.

Surprisingly, Zhaoming behaved very relaxed, and didn't seem to care about the loss of the sand table.

"It's gone, it's gone, it's just a small object. Since we can no longer rely on magic to do whatever we want in the future, we can build it with our hands! ”

Everyone couldn't help but admire, so they could afford to put it down, which is not something ordinary people can do.

But the truth is actually that although Zhaoming's flesh hurts, it is not to the point of regret.

The secret method sand table is gone, which is indeed a big loss. But to achieve the same effect, Zhaoming is not without means.

There are many other props provided by the system that have similar effects, which may not be as convenient as them, but they are okay.

"It's a pity that I have invested so much in the upgrading of faith points, but now the bamboo basket is empty."

These words are obviously not said to everyone, and they can only be silently thought about in the bottom of their hearts.

In the end, Zhaoming told everyone that the next goal was to recover the port with all its might.

This is something that Zhaoming and Trisda have been planning for a long time, and they are a little difficult to understand when they first tell the crowd.

"This port is on the Dark Border, what's the use of reclaiming it?"

However, under Zhaoming's careful explanation, they gradually understood the value of the port. ”

"What we're missing now is communication with the outside world! Lin Duhou has blocked our path with the major kingdoms, and it is difficult for us to go to the Sanctuary even now. ”

"But with the port, it's not a problem!"

Zhaoming's gaze inadvertently intertwined with Trisda's as he spoke, and the two instantly made eye contact.

"Do you want to apologize for what happened in the morning and make me happy by the way?"

"What if it weren't?"

"I hate it, I'll eat this set!"

Although Trisda was not angry with Zhaoming, Zhaoming was still very happy that she was able to fulfill her previous agreement.

However, Trisda thought about it, and Zhaoming didn't decide to do it entirely for her sake, after all, recovering the port now was the breakthrough point for all the next work.

"From today onwards, inform the foundry to speed up the production of weapons, Grouchy and Kaeya will be in charge of the food and grass, and the brothers will be ready for war!"

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.

Next, Black Rock City will once again move into a state of readiness.

Led by Zhaoming, everyone temporarily put aside the displeasure brought by Lin Duhou and devoted themselves to the preparations.

After the meeting, the knights returned to the fortress, but Akira made his way to the church alone.

After saying hello to the old priest, Zhaoming locked himself in the confessional room.

Finally, there was no one around, and he could quietly study his system.

"Right now, I have tens of thousands of faith points on my head, it's time to play their role!"

What Zhao Ming wanted most at the moment was a new weapon, preferably a magic weapon that could be used in battle, similar to the Sword of Martyrdom.

The power of the Sword of Martyrdom is self-evident, but the cost is too great. Zhao Ming still relies more on magic in battle, and it is obviously not worth spending mana on the Sword of Martyrdom.

"It's a pity that you can't buy attribute points! Otherwise, I'll become a numerical monster in minutes! ”

After a few selections, Zhaoming locked his eyes on a long sword.

"Sky Dome"

The silver-white appearance, the slender blade, and the blue gems dotted on it all reveal a sense of pure white and flawlessness.

The price of 1000 faith points, a price that was once out of reach, is just a sprinkling of water for the current Zhaoming.

What makes Zhaoming even more excited is its special attributes, which can store a certain amount of magic on its own to use a variety of special effects.

For example, if you release a ranged attack or shield, although the initial effect is only 100, you can use faith points to upgrade, which is nothing.

In a way, if it weren't for the storage limit, the utility value of the Sky Dome would be far greater than that of the Sword of Martyrdom.

But the Sword of Martyrdom is so strong that as long as you have enough magic, its power is unlimited!

Soon, this silver-white long sword appeared in Zhaoming's hand.

Without any hesitation, like all magicians, Zhaoming chose to refine it and bind it to the soul as soon as possible.

Soon, two swords, one black and one white, remained in the adjacent position in Zhaoming's storage space, waiting to be called by their owners at any time.

"It's not over yet, the next step is strengthening!"

Zhaoming invested a large number of faith points, and the upper limit of the energy storage of the "Sky Dome" immediately came to 3000, which happened to be the upper limit of Zhaoming's magic power.

"Whew, it's not easy."

Zhaoming sank down and poured his magic power into the sword body, and the sapphires inlaid on it lit up one by one, and when the largest one shone, it meant that the magic storage had reached the upper limit.

After doing all this, Zhaoming looked at his last 300 faith points.

"The offering pool is a good thing, it can always give me unexpected surprises at unintentional moments, why don't I take this opportunity to gamble?"

With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhaoming threw the last point of faith into the offering pool.

"The Goddess bless me!"

With a flash of light, Zhaoming opened his eyes to see what he had gotten.

"Oh my God, isn't it?"
