Han Xing pressed Longte for his true identity, and the other confessed everything in one go.
"I’m not Lamino! I’m a soldier under Lamino!"
"That day, Lys’ undead army attacked, and City Lord Ramino went out with the guards to et them, but I was too scared, so I hid in the basent of the City Lord’s Mansion."
"Later, I don’t know what happened, I only know that after that battle, Lord Ramino never ca back, and there were only so old, weak won and children left in the city..."
After hearing this, Han Xing roughly understood the whole story and mocked, "Turns out, you’re a deserter!"
However, upon hearing this, Longte beneath him beca instantly agitated.
"I’m not a deserter! I’m not a deserter!"
"Lys and his forces were too strong, if I didn’t hide, everyone would have died under their undead iron heels!"
Han Xing disdainfully replied, "Is that so? Then why did you target those civilians after the war?"
Han Xing had heard this guy talk about how he tortured those civilians before refining those eight Resentful Spirits.
This question was too sharp, making Longte shiver all over while lying on the ground.
"I... I don’t know..."
He looked at Han Xing, seeming reluctant to answer the question.
However, Han Xing had no patience to engage in a ntal work with this old knight.
An arrow shot out, directly piercing through Longte’s palm!
"Ah!!" The acute pain made Longte emit a sharp, hoarse scream.
Han Xing remained unmoved and said, "Think carefully before answering, if you say ’I don’t know’ again, the next arrow won’t be aid at your hand?"
Faced with Han Xing’s death threat, the already timid Longte was even more terrified, shivering on the ground.
Han Xing pulled back the arrow, urging, "Hurry up!"
The Longte on the ground seed to be engaged in an intense inner struggle.
Longte slowly began to speak, "I t soone, a woman, she taught ..."
However, before this sentence was finished, Longte’s body stopped trembling.
Longte suddenly lifted his head.
Han Xing noticed his pupils turning a deathly white.
Then, Longte gave Han Xing an eerie smile.
"What the hell?" Han Xing found the old knight’s smile sowhat baffling.
In the next mont, Han Xing saw the image of a woman on Longte’s aged face.
Before Han Xing could react, Longte suddenly charged at him.
Han Xing had remained vigilant, and as Longte charged at him, an arrow pierced into his forehead.
Puff!
A spray of blood appeared.
Knight Longte’s head got penetrated, and he collapsed limply onto the ground.
[Successfully killed Kingdom Knight Longte, Two-star Leader Level, gained 720,000 Experience Value.]
[Challenge task has been completed, obtained reward, Expert Badge*1.]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Han Xing’s expression was still grim, as if a layer of mist had settled over his heart.
"That woman’s appearance looks a bit familiar..."
Han Xing recalled the final scene, the woman’s face that appeared before Longte died seed to have been seen sowhere.
But as the features were too blurry, Han Xing couldn’t be sure,
"As I get to know this world more, things are becoming more complicated..."
Han Xing sighed; he clearly felt that the Land of the Abandoned Gods hid too many secrets.
"However, that challenge task is complete."
Although there were so twists and turns, the result was decent.
Han Xing touched the cold badge in his hand.
With this, he could advance into a Second Transformation Professional anyti.
At that ti, his strength would surge again.
However, Han Xing didn’t change profession imdiately.
Instead, he looked at the token beneath Longte and the golden greatsword beside him.
"Huh? Did so equipnt really drop?"
Han Xing was quite surprised and hurried over.
After picking up the items off the ground, a system prompt appeared.
[Obtained City Lord’s Order*1, obtained Dawn Sword (Gold)*1]
"City Lord’s Order? What’s this?"
Han Xing looked at the attributes of the two items in his hand.
[City Lord’s Order]: Special item, when the survivor’s territory ets the conditions, the City Lord’s Order can be used to build a main city of your own.
"Build my own main city?"
Han Xing gazed at the stone token in his hand, eyes full of wonder.
"Does main city an my own city?"
"But, it requires eting certain conditions. What are these conditions?"
Han Xing was full of confusion.
Undoubtedly, this City Lord’s Order was an extrely valuable item.
But currently, Han Xing hadn’t t the requirents, so he continued to check the other item.
[Dawn Sword (Gold) lv20, Quality - Legend, Attack Power: 304~324, Strength 50, Constitution 50.]
[Attached Effect]: Light of Judgnt (Deals 50% extra damage to undead creatures).
[Attached Effect]: Jade Radiance (When activating support skills, there’s a 100% chance to convert 100 Power into Spirit).
[Attached Effect]: Light of Dawn (Legendary Effect, summons a beam of dawn, rging into the weapon. Upon burst, it deals 500% light attribute damage to the enemy and forces blindness for five seconds.)
"Light of Dawn?"
Han Xing looked at the last effect of this weapon and recalled Knight Longte’s last attack launched in the hall, seemingly exhibiting this effect.
However, he didn’t even get to use the skill before Han Xing interrupted him.
"Legendary Quality, and also level 20 equipnt, the attributes of this Dawn Sword are really impressive," Han Xing said joyfully.
"Although, strictly speaking, its attributes aren’t as good as Cheng Jianyong’s level 15 Orange Greatsword, it can still be taken to the trading house for swapping with other equivalent equipnt."
One should know, with the current scarcity of golden equipnt blueprints, even Han Xing cannot acquire golden equipnt in bulk.
After dealing with the equipnt dropped by Longte,
Han Xing went back to the hall where the battle just occurred.
Han Xing vaguely rembered that when he blasted those undead to death, so things were left on the ground.
Han Xing walked over.
Sure enough, he saw a cluster of glowing crystal powder.
After picking it up, a system prompt appeared.
[Obtain Resentful Spirit Crystal *8.]
[Resentful Spirit Crystal]: A product of black magic.
The soul crystal left by tornted souls after death, filled with their resentnt towards this world.
By using certain evil rituals and a diator, powerful resentful spirits can be summoned again.
"Black magic? Isn’t this guy a knight? How did he co into contact with such things?"
Han Xing’s eyes flashed with thought.
Could it be related to the woman Longte ntioned?
At this mont, a system prompt appeared.
[You have defeated the owner of this territory. This Sky Island is now unowned. You can choose to rge or abandon it.]
Looking at the prompt before him, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, how he ca into contact doesn’t matter. Let’s rge this city first."
Han Xing stood up, then looked at the vast Sky Island before him.
In his eyes, there appeared a look of anticipation.
Because this is the largest Sky Island he has ever rged.
It even has a complete small city on it.
Among them are many special buildings he has never seen before, such as an Interdiate Spiritual Pyramid, a Slting Workshop, a tavern, and more...
At this mont, a system prompt appeared.
[Successfully rged the unowned Sky Island. Your territory area has expanded and gained territory buildings: Interdiate City Lord’s Mansion *1 (damaged, needs repairs), Interdiate Shield Pyramid *1, Slting Workshop *1 (damaged, needs repairs), Tavern *1 (damaged, needs repairs), Refining Workshop *1, Ordinary Residential Houses *103 (so damaged, need repairs) ...]
[Territory Resources Acquired: Palace Brew *742, Food *12314, Mithril *4131, obtained...]
A string of system prompts appeared, ranging from various grain seeds to residential houses, taverns, slting workshops, and city lord’s mansions.
Han Xing was stunned.
Because the harvest inside this Sky Island seed a bit beyond his expectations.
These already built structures, after the rger, also beca his personal property.
Although they are all ordinary buildings, most of which require consuming materials for refurbishnt,
there are several special buildings among them that he doesn’t have, such as an Interdiate City Lord’s Mansion, a Slting Workshop, an Interdiate Shield Pyramid, and so on.
In other words, he is now effectively the new owner of this city.
At this mont, Han Xing’s joy was almost uncontainable as he laughed heartily, "Longte, your city is quite good, but now it’s mine!"
Han Xing quickly opened the territory interface to review the buildings he just acquired.
[City Lord’s Mansion]: Interdiate Building.
[Defense Value]: 10000
[Building Effect]: Increases all defensive buildings’ defense value by 30%, increases all attacking buildings’ attack power by 20%, boosts all allied units’ All Attributes by 15%, and increases the Sky Island territory’s travel speed by 20%.
[Additional Effect]: Accelerates territory building construction ti by 20%.
[State]: 5% building area damaged, needs repairs, repair materials required, Stone Block *74512, Refined Iron *4212, Mithril *412, Rare Earth *15541...
Compared to a Basic Castle, the City Lord’s Mansion is an interdiate building that offers stronger enhancent effects and has a total defense value of 10000 points.
Then there is the Interdiate Shield Pyramid, its function is similar to the Junior Shield Pyramid.
However, it can cover a larger area, and its shield’s defense value is higher.
Then there’s a special building which is the Slting Workshop.
[Slting Workshop]: Territorial Building
[Building Effect]: Can refine and process ores transported to the Slting Workshop.
[State]: Damaged (so functions cannot be used.)
"Finally got a Slting Workshop!" Han Xing exclaid with joy.
Having a Slting Workshop ans Han Xing can exploit the rich mineral veins within his territory, such as Refined Iron Ore, Constant Gold Ore, and Purple Gold Ore, among others.
After processing, they can be turned into refined iron blocks and permanent gold ingots, which can be directly used to craft equipnt!
Although Han Xing currently obtains materials from the trading house, which fully ets his daily needs,
it’s a pity not to mine the mountains at his doorstep.
Thinking of this, Han Xing imdiately clicked repair.
[Would you like to consu materials: Stone Block *4151, Wood *723, Refined Iron *182, Mithril *30, to repair the ’Slting Workshop’?]
