Chapter 322 Reinforced city wall, the second assassin! (5400)
After saying that, Yaskin hung up the communication.
While Cao Xing was walking, he began to think about related things.
Obviously, a mature territory must have its own business model.
After all, no business can make money without real estate.
This is a huge profit, and it can also make continuous profits.
Just like the shop under Yaskinpan, the annual rent is 150,000 kronor.
There are even more shops like this in the entire Melinder City.
As you can imagine, over the course of a year, the kronor earned from rent collection alone is a huge number.
Most of this money fell into the pockets of the city lord.
It’s not just the store’s money.
As the city lord, he also has income from various taxes.
Commercial tax, trade tax, etc...
The wealth-raising ability of a prosperous city is much more terrifying than that of a baron.
If Cao Xing could own such a city, he really wouldn't have to worry about money and these resources.
Shaked his head, these are all very far away things.
As the saying goes, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
Currently, what is more important for Cao Xing is to improve his own strength.
When you are strong enough, you will naturally have these.
After thinking about it, he had arrived near the [Intermediate Mage Tower].
Then he called out the old mage Tai Lun.
This old mage has been staying in the mage tower since he was summoned.
The accumulation of experience allowed him to rise to level 30, and he has officially broken through to level 4 today.
At this moment, after seeing him, the old mage Tai Lun bowed respectfully, "Dear Lord, good night."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then said: "Tai Lun Mr. Lun, are you still used to it during this time in our territory?"
A gentle smile appeared on the old mage's face, and then he sighed: "Lord, as I said before, this is a miracle. The territory.”
“For all mages, it is a sacred place, and I am very accustomed to living here.”
“And, so far, we haven’t. What contribution have we made to the territory? As a result, the Lord not only allowed us unlimited use of the Mage Tower, but also helped us improve our strength."
"I really feel a little ashamed..."
Speaking of this. , a guilty look appeared in Tai Lun's eyes.
These earth mages are still growing. After learning more skills in the mage tower, they can have stronger combat power.
So I don’t usually use them much.
Cao Xing shook his head, "Mr. Tai Lun, don't be ashamed, won't I come to you to work now?"
Hearing this, Tai Lun's expression suddenly brightened, He quickly held the staff and said excitedly: "Lord, just ask, I will do my best to fulfill your request."
Cao Xing smiled, "It's not a big deal, I'm just preparing Let you cast the advanced spell 'Rock Barrier' on the walls of our territory."
This skill can greatly enhance the armor and durability of the walls, but it requires a lot of magic power.
Tylon was only a third-level leader before, but now that he has broken through to the fourth level, his mental power has also increased significantly. It is time for him to play his role.
Although the wall of his territory was only half-built, Cao Xing just wanted to try this skill.
Hearing this request, Tai Lun respectfully replied: "I am happy to serve you, Lord Lord!"
After saying that, he and Cao Xing came to the edge of the territory.
Looking at the half-built city wall, Cao Xing asked: "Mr. Tai Lun, if you release it with all your strength now, how many meters of city wall can you cover?"
This advanced spell is not fixed. It depends on the user's release skills. The magic power invested at the time determines the casting area.
The old mage observed for a while, and then said: "After I broke through to the fourth level this time, my mental power has greatly improved. If I consume all my magic power at once, I can probably cover 30 city walls, that is, three About a hundred meters in length.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing did the math in his mind.
This advanced spell has a 30-minute cooling time. Based on a 300-meter radius, it will take at least 11 hours to cover the entire territory's walls.
However, the city wall has not been completed yet, so it will not take so much time.
And Cao Xing’s main purpose is not to know how long it will take the old mage Tai Lun to cast spells on all the city walls.
But I want to try to see if this skill can be amplified by [Eternal Power].
From 10 minutes to forever?
So, Cao Xing said directly: "Try it."
After hearing this, Tai Lun directly raised his staff.
As he spit out some obscure and thick syllables.
The next moment, in the ground ahead, the soil began to rise rapidly!
Then, a large amount of soil covered the city wall, and it quickly became dry and solid, as if wrapped in an earthy yellow shell.
In the blink of an eye, an earth-yellow city wall was built.
Not only that, Cao Xing also noticed that the thickness and height of the city wall had also been greatly improved.
From the original 4 meters high and 1 meter wide, it quickly increased to 8 meters high and 2 meters wide!
This area is already larger than the high-end city wall.
After a while, Tai Lun finished casting his magic.
All 30 city walls have grown dramatically!
And he seemed to have run out of magic power, and his face was a little pale.
At this moment, Cao Xing is also waiting excitedly.
Finally!
A system prompt appears.
[Your territory member Tyran Rockspeaker casts [Advanced Spell·Rock Barrier] successfully. The armor of the city wall increases by 400 points and the durability increases by 40,000 points. It lasts for 10 minutes and is affected by the talent [Eternal Power]. 】Affected, this state has become permanent...]
(Note: In the permanent state, the rock barrier is solidified on the city wall. When the durability of the rock barrier is reduced, the mages can consume part of the magic power to repair it. City wall, restore durability)
(Note 2: If the rock barrier is broken, the mage will need to consume a lot of magic power to restore it.)
(Note 3: If the rock barrier is broken, If the entire city wall covered by it is shattered, the magic effect will disappear...)
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing suddenly felt a strong sense of joy in his eyes!
"Haha! It's really possible!"
In this way, the old mage Tai Lun only needs to use it all once, which is equivalent to all the city walls being greatly strengthened and the defense capability greatly increased!
However, Cao Xing also saw the system prompts. Although this rock barrier exists permanently, if its durability decreases or is broken, it will also need to consume magic power to repair it.
But it’s normal after thinking about it.
After all, after ordinary city walls are damaged and destroyed, workers also need to consume materials and time to build them.
But now it can be repaired by directly consuming magic power, saving Cao Xing a lot of resources in disguise.
Cao Xing said with a smile on his lips: "The talent of eternal power is really convenient!"
"It just so happens that those earth mages usually have nothing to do. For city battles, let them focus on repairing the city wall below. It will be more difficult for the enemy to break through."
In addition, another point that concerns Cao Xing is that the skill introduction he saw before is. , adds 300 armor and 30,000 durability.
Now it actually has 400 armor points and 40,000 durability points.
Cao Xing glanced at Tyron's attributes and found that his skill values had indeed changed.
Soon, he understood the reason.
This should be because Tyron has broken through to the fourth level, and the power of the earth element he controls is stronger, so the values of various skills have also been enhanced.
This is not bad. If this earth mage continues to become stronger in the future, he will reach the seventh or eighth level.
When the [Rock Barrier] is used one by one, the armor and durability of the city wall will be doubled several times!
Safety is greatly improved!
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
At the same time, I also noticed the pale face of the old mage Tai Lun.
He took out a few drops of [High Grade Tree Sap] from his backpack.
"Mr. Tai Lun, please add some magic power first."
The old mage had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and he naturally felt that the few drops of leaves in Cao Xing's hands contained powerful magic power.
He took it respectfully.
With just one drop, I felt that most of my magic power had recovered in an instant.
The color returned to the pale face.
The old mage Tai Lun exclaimed: "Lord, what is this, it has such a good effect?"
Cao Xing smiled and said: "A kind of tree sap, I will try it again later. I’ll give you a few drops.”
After verifying that this skill can last forever, Cao Xing’s mood became extremely good.
Tailun said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord!"
"Then I will rest for a while, and then continue to cast advanced magic to strengthen our city wall."
Cao Xing shook his head. He shook his head and said: "No, you go to the Mage Tower to rest first."
"Better your spirits and come out with us tomorrow."
Hearing this, Tai Lun was slightly surprised.
It seems that he didn’t expect that Cao Xing would bring him with him tomorrow.
It’s not unexpected, on the contrary, I’m even more delighted.
Because in this way, it means that Cao Xing has recognized him and he can contribute to this territory.
"Yes, Lord."
"I will go back to the mage tower and make preparations."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then looked at this The old mage walked as fast as flying and returned to the mage tower excitedly.
A smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, Cao Xing returned to the central area of the territory.
Although all the harvest this time has been digested.
But he still has one thing to do now.
That is, use the recruitment scroll that you obtained in that camp.
When he came to the open space outside the residential area, Cao Xing took out this scroll that was completely black but had a gold edge.
【Do you want to use: Tier 4 leader assassin recruitment scroll? ]
[Note: After use, a fourth-level assassin-type creature with a random race will be summoned...]
…
"Is it random again?"
"Last time, Hilda, the Blood Spider Queen, was randomly summoned. I wonder what it will be this time?"
Cao Xing thought for a moment and clicked 'Yes'!
In an instant, a strong black mist rose in front of Cao Xing.
“Crash!”
The gushing black mist almost solidified.
He could faintly see that there seemed to be an invisible shadow flowing in the black fog. Then, a short figure appeared.
While the black fog has not yet disappeared.
In an instant——
A cold light suddenly hit Cao Xing!
At this moment, Cao Xing’s eyes were slightly cold.
“Interesting, are the citizens of the territory attacking me as soon as I summoned them?”
"This is the first time I've encountered this!"
And Cao Xing didn't have any fear.
He directly raised his staff, and a wall of ice exuding strong chill appeared in front of him out of thin air.
With his current mental strength, he can cast these low-level spells almost instantly.
“Crack!”
The opponent’s weapon scratched the ice wall, leaving a shadowy atmosphere.
However, Cao Xing’s [Ice Wall Technique] has a durability of nearly 30,000.
It will take a lot of time for the opponent to cut through this ice wall.
And this period of time is enough for Cao Xing to kill him!
The opponent was not stupid either. He failed to hit the target and disappeared immediately.
But what he didn't know was that Cao Xing had the Eye of True Seeing.
You can clearly see that a black shadow is moving quickly, preparing to approach you from behind.
In the blink of an eye, we were less than ten meters behind Cao Xing.
If an ordinary mage was touched by an assassin at such a close distance, he would have already panicked!
But Mr. Cao is a fifth-level mage. In terms of level, attributes, and even all aspects, he crushes this assassin.
In a flash!
Cao Xing opened his legs and rushed out more than ten meters at a faster speed.
The figure stood there for a moment, seemingly confused.
How can there be a mage who can run faster than an assassin?
Before the black shadow could react, a huge six-pointed star formation suddenly appeared at its feet.
"Freeze!"
Strong cold air gushes out!
“Crash!”
What’s strange is that the figure flashed again and actually escaped the control range of Cao Xing’s [Extreme Ice Bloom].
Seeing this, Cao Xing's mouth curved, "It's interesting, this life-saving method is quite powerful."
But he still didn't panic at all.
Throw out an [Ice-Breaking Flying Blade] directly and release it towards the ground.
“Bang! Bang bang!”
The ice ball hit the ground, and a large number of ice edges exploded!
This skill directly turns into group attack damage!
But the black shadow couldn't dodge, and its body was hit by several ice edges.
Then several injuries appeared on the head.
【-6546】
【-6632】
【-6753】
…
Cao Xing’s current attack power is After breaking through seven thousand, even the splash damage was too much for these fourth-level creatures.
The black shadow groaned.
I just wanted to run away again.
At this moment, three huge ice blocks appeared above her head.
[Iceberg Falling] is ready to go.
Cao Xing's threatening voice sounded.
"If you move one more step, you will be smashed into a pulp."
Hearing this, the black figure seemed to feel the death threat coming from above.
She also knew that if the man in front of her wanted to, she would be dead by now.
After a while, the shadow aura on the other party disappeared.
Appeared like a ghost in the dark night, with long ink-like hair hanging freely on his shoulders, a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and a hat on his head.
Under the hood, Cao Xing saw a pair of pointed animal ears playfully protruding from his hair. They were furry and trembled slightly from time to time, as if they were sensing the slightest movement around them.
She is only about 1.2 meters tall, wearing a set of tight black leather armor, flat chest, standard airport.
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Uh? Beast Ear Girl?"
The facial features of this beast-eared girl are similar to those of humans, except that the pupils are green.
Cao Xing said cheerfully: "Tell me, why did you attack me?"
The beast-eared girl crossed her arms, hugged her chest, and then turned away.
“I just want to test how capable the lord I want to be loyal to is.”
“I don’t really want to attack you. Look, I even use weapons. It’s a branch.”
After saying that, she stretched out a small furry hand and shook the dry branch in her hand.
Cao Xing naturally knew that the other party did not really want to kill him.
When he just launched the attack on himself, he didn’t feel any killing intent in it.
Otherwise, Cao Xing would not have kept her, but would have killed her directly.
Continue to ask: "So now, what do you think of my strength?"
The current beast-eared assassin raised her chin slightly and said proudly.
"Not bad. In the hundreds of years I have been traveling across the continent, you are the first mage to be so calm when I get close to you, and to be able to fight back against me."
"In that case , it’s okay for me, Heli Feiying, to be loyal to you.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said: “I’m sorry, I haven’t decided whether to accept you into my territory. "
Hearing this, a look of shame and annoyance flashed across the pretty face of this beast-eared girl.
"What! Back then, I was a famous assassination goddess. The entire continent has heard of my name!"
"You are actually still considering whether to accept me or not? !”
Cao Xing nodded.
"Your strength is very poor, and your fighting awareness is also very weak. Even a mage like me cannot defeat you."
"If an assassin in my territory attacks, you will not be able to withstand even one move." However, he will be killed on the spot.”
"With your strength and combat awareness, I simply can't trust you to entrust some tasks to you."
Cao Xing was mocking the weak strength of this beast-eared girl both inside and outside of her words.
He already has experience in dealing with this kind of arrogant existence.
First use strength to suppress the other party, and then degrade the other party to the point of being worthless, destroying her self-confidence.
Then let her surrender willingly.
Hmm...commonly known as CPU...
The beast-eared assassin named Heli Feiying said with a depressed look: "It's obvious that you, the mage, are too perverted!"
"I don't believe there is a stronger assassin than me in this territory!"
"This Feiying is the strongest!"
However, the words did not finish.
A shadow came to Cao Xing quietly.
Then, a figure appeared, it was Sarah.
"Lord, I feel that there has just been a battle here. Have you encountered anything?"
Her tone was a little worried, and at the same time she locked her eyes on the short man on the ground. figure.
When Sarah's eyes locked on the beast-eared assassin named Heli Feiying, she suddenly seemed to be stared at by a terrifying poisonous snake, and she was so frightened that she dared not move!
Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, "It's okay Sarah, she's just our new member, she just wants to test her lord's abilities."
"She also said that in this There is no stronger assassin than her in the territory.”
Hearing this, Sarah’s eyes suddenly became clear.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth curved.
As for the beast-eared assassin, when he saw Sarah’s expression, his face turned pale with fright!
But she still held the weapon tightly, with a look of reluctance on her face.
At this moment, Sarah held the double daggers in her hands, which meant that she entered a fighting state.
In an instant, her figure disappeared from where she was!
A group of invisible shadows rushed towards the opponent.
At the same time, the beast-eared girl was also ready, and a black mist emerged from her body, blurring her figure.
The battle between assassins is like this, there is not much communication at all.
Huh——
A gust of wind passed by, as if darkness was flowing.
The beast-eared girl lurked in the darkness, pricking up her ears and listening carefully to the movement around her, but she felt nothing.
Not even the feeling of being spied upon.
However, this is the most terrifying thing.
This shows that the other party’s stealth and assassination skills are far superior to mine!
The beast-eared girl just wanted to distance herself.
Suddenly I felt a terrifying chill coming from my back!
Although she knew that this knife was terrifying, she still didn't want to retreat!
"Hmph! It's impossible to say that I can't even take a single move from Feiying!"
She picked up the short knife in her hand and turned around to fight back.
However, the next moment, she saw the dagger suddenly change its angle and wrap around her wrist like a spiritual snake.
“Ding!”
Both parties are in contact!
The next moment, the dagger in Beast Ear Girl's hand fell directly to the ground.
And Sarah’s silent blade was already pressed against her neck!
