200. Chapter 200 Praise of glory, the blacksmith upgrades!


Chapter 200 Praise of Glory, the blacksmith upgrades!
A sacred breath fell on Assam.

Cao Xing felt that the aura on this knight was growing rapidly.

After a while, a powerful momentum burst out from him!

A system prompt appears.

[Member of your territory: Assam received the Lake Lady’s blessing and successfully advanced to a third-level leader-level creature. All attributes increased by 30% and acquired a new skill: Praise of Glory]

[Praise of Glory: After turning on this skill, in the next 100 seconds, all attacks will be accompanied by 50% light attribute attack, and each attack will cause five negative states to the enemy in turn, armor -20%, attack power -20% , movement speed -20%, attack speed -20%, hit rate -20%.

When a single enemy has 5 negative states at the same time, all negative states will be detonated, causing 150% light attribute damage to it. Skill cooldown time: 10 minutes]

"Fuck!"

Seeing the attributes of this [Glory Praise], Cao Xing exclaimed.

He was shocked on the spot.

Every five attacks, causing 150% explosion damage, plus 50% light attribute attack.

This is equivalent to directly increasing Assam's output capability several times!
The most important thing is that this skill is still a continuous state.

In other words, there is a high probability that it will be enhanced by the [Eternal Power] and become a permanent existence!
“Isn’t it too fierce?” Cao Xing sighed.

With this skill, Assam's output ability is likely to be on par with Andrew, or even surpass him!
At this moment, the goddess of the lake continued: "You have passed three of the five trials."

"And the last two are generosity and bravery."

“However, these two qualities cannot be demonstrated through words, only through actions.”

"So next, please help 5 people who really need help and prove your generosity."

"Then, alone, kill a beast that is one level stronger than you, proving that you have heroic character."

The goddess of the lake looked at Cao Xing.

"As the lord of this knight, you can assist him in completing this task."

"Of course, you can also choose to end it here."

The next moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Do you accept the trial mission of the Lady of the Lake? 】

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing sighed.

"This trial of the goddess of the lake is really troublesome..."

It took a lot of effort to complete the first three trials.

In the last two trials, it was up to him to do tasks.

However, Cao Xing also knew that this was normal.

After all, this involves a complete legendary weapon, which is more powerful than the broken Magdalen in his hand.

Speaking of which——

Just starting the prerequisite tasks for this Knight Trial is incredibly difficult.

First of all, the first one is that you need at least a leader-level Snow Demon Tongue.

This alone has stumped so many people!
Then the second difficulty.

It’s all about catching king salmon.

At least a fishing rod of golden quality or above is required, and it must be powerful enough.

After all, the strength of the king salmon in the water is really terrifying, and it will also emit a very lethal water jet.

If it weren't for Qinon, a strong man who didn't know how strong he was, they could only watch King Salmon break free, and they might even be annihilated.

The third difficulty is releasing the king salmon.

This is also a trial that tests the human heart extremely.

Under normal circumstances, if Cao Xing hadn't known about it in advance, he would never have let the king salmon go.

And Cao Xing, after a series of coincidences, successfully started this knight trial.

Now, through Assam's efforts, he has passed the first three trials.

Now that we have reached this juncture, Cao Xing will definitely not give up.

So, he just clicked accept.

At the same time, a system prompt appears.

[Successfully accepted the mission: The Five Virtues Trial of the Goddess of the Lake]

[The trials of compassion, honor, and wisdom have been completed, and the remainder: the trials of generosity and bravery have not been completed. 】

[Trial of Generosity: Help 5 people who really need help, current progress: 0/5]

[Trial of Valor: Let the Assam Knight alone kill a creature of the same level with strength exceeding level 10. Current progress: 0/1]

After seeing the mission prompt, Cao Xing thought for a moment.

"Help 5 people in need and kill a leader creature that is higher than Assam level 10?"

These two trial tasks are both difficult and simple.

After all, with Cao Xing's various blessings, Assam should have the strength to fight in single combat.

The difficulty lies in finding the right opponent.

There is also this [Generosity Trial] to help 5 people who really need help.

How does Cao Xing know who really needs help?
But at this point, we can only take one step at a time.

at the same time.

The charming-faced Lake Goddess said softly: "After you complete the remaining two trials, you can come to Luoxue Lake and call me again. At that time, I will give you the legendary weapon: Yarondijit."

"Wish you good luck..."

After saying that, she sank into the lake again.

Everyone was left looking at each other.

After being promoted to leader, Assam also came back and stood respectfully next to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing praised: "Assam, you did a good job."

Others also expressed encouragement for Assam.

Assam said humbly: "It was Lord Lord's encouragement that gave me strong confidence, so I was able to pass these two trials."

At this moment, Qinong said from the side: "Lord Cao Xing, the knight chosen by the Lady of the Lake in the past generations, will become famous throughout the Ice Crystal Kingdom in the near future."

"And as the lord of this knight, I have a hunch that it won't be long before I hear your name again."

With a somewhat emotional look on his face, he looked at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Your Excellency Qinong, you are joking."

"It's getting late now, you'd better go back and take care of your wife as soon as possible."

From the time they set out to fish in Luoxue Lake in the morning to the end of the trial, it took them more than seven hours.

There is only more than an hour left before dark.

Qinong nodded and said: "You are right, Lord Cao Xing, I will go back to take care of my wife next."

"With this golden salmon you gave me today, my wife should be able to regain her strength."

"Next, I will take her to the main city of Yongshuang, and I will probably settle there later."

"One day in the future, if Lord Cao Xing comes to the main city of Yongshuang, you can go and find me. The old man will definitely have a drink with you."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded and said: "Okay, I also look forward to the day when I can meet Mr. Qinong again."

After saying that, both parties left separately.

Looking at Qinong's old back.

Cao Xing always had a premonition that one day in the future, they might meet again.

When Qinong disappeared from everyone's sight.

Cao Xing glanced at the temperature above his head and the countdown.

[Current temperature: -53℃]

[Countdown to nightfall: 1 hour and 13 minutes...]

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, we should go back."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

The group of people marched toward the territory in a mighty manner.

As for the beasts on Luoxue Lake, they had all been scared away by the news of the birth of the goddess in the lake.

This made Cao Xing want to kill some wild animals, but the idea of ​​adding extra food tonight came to nothing.

However, what he gained today was quite amazing!

On the way, Cao Xing was also summarizing today.

First of all, the biggest gain is naturally the [Crazy King Fishing Rod] in my hand.

As an epic prop, its value is almost limitless!
This is also the third epic prop that Cao Xing has obtained.

Then, there was the nearly 12 kilogram [golden salmon], which had been slaughtered by Cao Xing and broken down into fish meat.

A total of 11 pieces of [Golden Salmon Meat] were obtained.

It sounds like a small amount, but if sold at 100g, it can sell a full 110 servings.

But the price of this thing is too high.

It is estimated that few survivors in the entire area 174 can afford it.

After that, there were 11 silver salmon, almost 92 kilograms.

In total, a total of 87 pieces of [Silver Salmon Meat] were decomposed, which is a total of 870 servings.

The ice dragon mark is worth at least 170,000!
The remaining blue-quality fish and green-quality fish are pretty good.

In total, it can be sold for tens of thousands of ice dragon marks.

In other words, these fish catches alone are worth at least two gold treasure chests.

Liu Muxue behind them also knew how much they had gained this time.

She was a little excited and said: "Axing, are we going to trade in the market this time when we go back?"

After Cao Xing thought for a moment, he smiled and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow."

"There are now more than 30,000 people in District 174, and they probably don't have many good things on hand."

"When the districts are combined tomorrow, people from the 10 districts will be together."

"At least hundreds of thousands of people. This batch of goods in my hand may be sold at a higher price."

After listening to Cao Xing's analysis, Liu Muxue also felt that it made sense.

Then he nodded and said: "Yeah!"

During their conversation, everyone had returned to their territory.

As night falls, the residents who collected resources are rushing back one after another.

The leader, Cao, had been waiting here early in the morning and reported: "Lord."

"Today we have collected a total of 8,764 pieces of wood, 6,122 pieces of stone, 1,754 pieces of coal, 1,024 pieces of iron, and 433 pieces of copper." Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, are the resources of these mineral points around our territory still sufficient?"

"Back to the lord, we have finished mining a medium-sized iron mine and a small copper mine near the territory, and there is still a medium-sized coal mine left that can be mined for two more days."

"In the near future, we may need to find new resource points or suspend mining work."

Cao Xing thought for a moment after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, several resource points near the territory were mined so quickly.

Before new resource points are refreshed, you can only search further away.

He does know the location of a resource point.

It's the Mole Man Mine that was discovered before.

There are rich precious mineral deposits there, [Mithril], [Magic Crystal], etc.

But it's a bit far from the territory, a full seven kilometers away.

There would be no way to lay railroad tracks over such a long distance.

"However, tomorrow is the seventh day of the official period, and a new batch of resource points will be refreshed."

"First look at the status of the refreshed resource points, and then decide whether to mine that mine."

So, Cao Xing nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

"Tomorrow a new batch of resource points will appear near our territory. Let Cantel and Kandar explore them first."

"Then I will decide where to arrange for you to collect resources."

Upon hearing this, the leader Cao Yi nodded respectfully.

"As you command, Lord."

Although refreshing resource points is a bit beyond their understanding.

But when the novice protection period ends, I have already experienced it once.

So Cao Yi was not that surprised.

At the same time, Cantel and Kandar also came over.

They were on their horses, each carrying a cloth bag.

After seeing Cao Xing, the two said excitedly.

"Strong Lord, you are back!"

"This is what we gained from killing the ice nest monsters in the past two days. Please take a look."

After the two centaurs finished speaking, they put the bags on their backs directly on the ground.

Cao Xing immediately saw a lot of ice dragon marks and other materials on it.

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Mark*8921]

[Obtain: Glacier Splinter*4723]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Horn (Small)*4]

[Obtain: Ice Dragon Horn (middle)*1]

"Well done, Kantor, Kandar."

A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

Today’s harvest is not bad.

His ice dragon mark reserve once again exceeded 70,000.

Cao Xing secretly thought: "If we do another round of trading tomorrow, my ice dragon mark may exceed 300,000, and then I can exchange it for the remaining two gold treasure chests!"

"The next step is to save another 300,000 ice dragon marks and let Muxue open three gold treasure chests, haha!"

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then, he asked the two centaurs to continue patrolling.

At this time, a system prompt appears.

[Member of your territory: Harold Bingshan devotes himself to forging. Through unremitting efforts, he finally understands more advanced forging techniques and has acquired a new skill: Advanced Forging Mastery]

At this moment, Cao Xing had a look of surprise in his eyes!
“Let me go, Harold became a senior blacksmith so quickly?”

"It's been less than a week since he joined my territory. This time I really found a treasure!"

Cao Xing was so excited that he rushed into the [Blacksmith Shop] impatiently.

at the same time.

Harold seemed to have a premonition that Cao Xing would come. With a delighted smile on his face, he waited silently by the forging platform.

"Lord, you are here."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Yes."

"Congratulations, Harold."

"You have amazing forging talent."

Harold shook his head quickly and said modestly: "Harold is stupid. Thanks to the Lord's help, I was able to understand new forging techniques so quickly."

Cao Xing laughed and patted his shoulder.

Then we started looking at Harold's attributes.

[Knowledge seeker: Harold Iceberg]

[Race: Dwarf]

[Level: Level 15 (second-level ordinary creature)]

[HP: 4140/4140]

[Attack power: 252~277]

[Skills: Frost Hammer, Iceberg Blow

Advanced forging proficiency (with rich forging experience, you can create rare-quality equipment, and speed up the forging speed by 30% and the forging efficiency by 10%)】

[Talent: Craftsman (when forging equipment, the success rate increases by 10%)]

"Okay, okay! It actually increases the forging speed by 10% and the forging efficiency by 10%!"

Cao Xing sighed.

Because in this way, Harold can guarantee a higher success rate when crafting purple equipment.

Moreover, Cao Xing still remembered Assam's golden weapon, "King's Glaive" with a note on it.

You can ask the senior blacksmith to remove the [Flash Gold Gemstone] and [Earth Gemstone] from above and embed them into a new weapon.

Although the specific qualities of these two gems are not known, their attributes must not be weak.

"Very good, Assam is already level 25 and will be able to reach level 30 soon."

"Then he can equip the broken legendary weapon, Magdale, and the King's Glaive will be eliminated."

"Those two gems can be taken off by Harold and used again!"

Cao Xing thought with satisfaction.

At this time, Harold continued to report: "Lord, I have been basically forging that kind of large scythe for the past two days."

"Of the 8 sets of materials you gave me, 5 were successful and the remaining 3 failed."

"terribly sorry!"

He said apologetically.

After all, three failures meant the loss of three rare-quality materials.

It is also mixed with a large amount of refined iron and a small amount of mithril.

The losses are still relatively large.

If it were an ordinary blacksmith, these three materials alone would be enough to bankrupt them.

Fortunately, Cao Xing was wealthy and could let Harold squander it as he pleased.

Cao Xing didn't care, "Don't mind, Harold."

"It's worth paying a little bit of materials to speed up your breakthrough to a higher level."

"Besides, didn't you also succeed in five sets?"

With Cao Xing's encouragement, Harold also had a gentle smile on his face.

Then he said gratefully: "Thank you for your support, Lord."

"Shall I give you these five pairs of sickles first?"

"I'm personally quite satisfied with these sickles."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.

Then, he followed Harold to the storage box.

As the storage box opened, Cao Xing saw five black scythes lying inside, exuding a faint black aura!

Including the handle and the large hook at the front, the length is over 1.7 meters.

Especially the sharp claws at the tip are faintly flashing with cold light, and the shape looks very ferocious.

Cao Xing put away the five pairs of sickles directly.

[Obtain: Soul Eater Scythe (Purple)*5]

I looked at the properties.

[Soul Eater Scythe (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Level: Level 30 and above]

[Attack power: 542~594]

[With special effects ①: Strength +80, Agility +50]

[With special effect ②: Cutting Blade (when attacking, increase attack power and disabling effect by 20%)]

[With special effect ③: Soul Suppression (when attacking spirit enemies, an additional 50% damage is caused)]

(Equipment introduction: A scythe made from the large hook of the Soul Eater, with a little mithril added to it, which has an obvious suppressive effect on spiritual enemies.)

After reading the properties of this sickle, Cao Xing showed a look of joy on his face.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"No wonder Harold is also pleased with these scythes."

The attributes of [Soul Eater Scythe] are strong enough and the level is high enough.

The most important thing is that this sickle also has a characteristic that can suppress spiritual enemies!
