[Ding, obtained stone materials *1258]
[Ding, obtained Tier Four Spiritual Gem *1]
The blast fall is indeed very rare, but Lin Rui was well aware of the reason.
Mainly because most of the damage was dealt by the Touch of the Evil God, and Lin Rui’s only damage was the final headshot.
The gods in this world place a lot of value on the Explorer’s performance during the victory process.
Courageous performance leads to generous rewards, while cowardly performance results in sparse rewards.
For example, killing captives, though they are monsters, is vastly different from killing Wild Monsters in terms of drop rewards.
Although headshots are considered a satisfying achievent by Lin Rui, to the gods, this behavior is akin to the sneaky attacks of goblins.
Fortunately, Audrey had already pulled out a Tier Three Rare level troop from the remains of the Mountain Giant, which made Lin Rui very satisfied. Every piece of loot after that was an extra gain.
The most precious item dropped by the Mountain Giant was the Giant Sword Guard Statue, which, when activated, could set up a twenty-ter-high statue in the territory.
They are sowhat like defense towers, but can patrol within the territory, and, upon encountering monsters, wield giant swords to kill enemies, with strength not low, equivalent to Tier Three Excellence Level.
Lin Rui planned to return to the territory to slightly enhance it, upgrading it to Tier Three Elite Level.
Further enhancent would not be cost-effective, as they can only guard within the territory and lack mobility. Investing a lot of resources on them would indeed be wasteful and cannot quickly be converted into strength.
After the battle, Lin Rui looked at Audrey’s level, which was already Tier Two Level 5, with the experience bar reaching 87.5%.
So Lin Rui gave her the 15 Experience Books he had saved recently, directly raising her level to Tier Two Level 6.
After leveling up, Audrey imdiately jubilantly jumped onto Lin Rui’s back, her snow-white arms tightly embracing Lin Rui’s neck, happily saying: "Haha, I can activate the Empress’s Contract again!"
It was evident she was genuinely joyful, her two slender and straight legs swinging leisurely, waving her hands and shouting: "Teleportation gate, open! Summon the most adorable little cutie."
The deep teleportation gate opened, with cold wind and a murderous aura rushing from behind the door.
The Black Queen always carried such a presence, full of charisma. It’s hard to understand why such a noble Black Queen would choose such an unreliable Apostle like Audrey.
Heavy footsteps accompanied by the clanging sound of armor ca from the darkness.
A dark, tall figure slowly erged, with two scarlet eyes devoid of any biological structure, filled with swirling blood mist. This scarlet blood mist dispersed from the corners of the eyes, like two fluttering red ribbons.
Finally, a heavily armored warrior covered entirely in black armor, with only the scarlet eyes exposed, appeared before the teleportation gate.
This frosty and murderous warrior silently glanced at Audrey, then slightly bowed, speaking in a cold tone, "Dark Temple Warrior: Leopard, at your service, my master."
"Hahaha! My father, I’ve summoned another Rare level Summoned Creature!" Audrey exclaid, hugging Lin Rui tightly, her cheek pressed against Lin Rui, saying proudly: "I’ve found the right way to get stronger!"
Lin Rui also looked at Leopard in surprise, another Tier Two Rare level troop, a Dark Temple Warrior.
It possessed Swordsmanship Grandmaster abilities like Lundestadte and was also impressively hardy, but its hardness was more suited to Undead Catastrophes. Under the protection of Dark Energy, it could disperse the damage received to nearby surviving undead. As long as the Undead Army hadn’t been annihilated, it wouldn’t fall.
Any damage, once evenly dispersed, very likely wouldn’t break through the defense!
Originally, ten thousand points of damage should instantly take it down. However, if spread among ten people, each dealing with a thousand points of damage, subtracting defense and damage reduction, it was very likely to cause only single-digit damage.
This ability of making turret-like mages despair, confident to knock down nine thousand points of opponent’s Life Value, resulting in damage numbers only in the tens or even single digits, would probably collapse one’s ntality!
With this terrifying defensive ability, the Dark Temple Warrior’s damage was equally astonishing; hitting the sa target three tis would form a dark erosion, causing 5% of the opponent’s Life Value in damage.
Apart from these powerful traits, it also had three skills, unlike Lundestadte’s balanced control, defense, and output, its skills were all about extre output. They were Charge, Blood Drinking, and Divine Ghost lody.
The ultimate move, Divine Ghost lody, suppressed opponents, forcibly executing eight slash moves with increasing power!
Admittedly, it was quite challenging for a mont to really distinguish, if in their pri, who would be stronger or weaker between Rare level Lundestadte and Leopard.
However, one thing was for sure, Audrey’s Heroic Spirit Level troop’s strength had undergone a significant shift.
Every ti she triggered the Empress’s Contract, she steadily pulled out a Rare level troop, quickly surpassing other Heroic Spirit Level troops in strength, firmly standing in the strongest Heroic Spirit Level lineup.
"Ah~Ah~Lord, don’t put down!" Audrey clung tightly to Lin Rui’s neck, exclaiming, "Carry a bit longer! Isn’t carrying comfortable?"
"Hah, don’t think of teasing ! I’m the Lord, how could I carry you around everywhere? Get down and head back to the caravan."
Audrey stood aside discontentedly: "So annoying! Can’t my high Charm make the Lord break the rules for once?"
Of course not! Won would only cause social death, but showing off would always bring joy.
According to the human needs hierarchy theory, clearly, the latter is more advanced!
No one doesn’t love showing off, and if soone says they don’t like it.
By saying this sentence, it’s itself showing off.
As long as one is human, there is such an emotional need, unless he turned into a spirit of underwear.
"Let’s go, back to the caravan!"
Returning to the caravan, the people of the Lusen Chamber of Comrce had set up a simple camp, and the caravan people were all resting peacefully.
Terion, leading Yvette, approached Lin Rui and said: "Lord, the Chamber has prepared resting tents for us and paid 5000 Realm Coins for dical expenses, requesting us to treat the Chamber’s wounded. Within the Empire, Priests and the Priest offering treatnts charge fees, so I accepted their dical paynt."
Lin Rui nodded, saying: "This is your ability’s earnings. You don’t need to turn in all the dical fees, just one-tenth will do. I will implent a one-tenth tax in the territory in the future."
Yvette gently praised: "Thank you for your generosity, Lord. Most noble territories implent a one-ninth tax, and your one-tenth tax is truly a blessing for all the people."
After Yvette finished speaking, Terion said: "Lord, the Chamber has great grievances about our travel schedule, thinking it’s too unsafe to travel at night."
Lin Rui waved his hand, saying: "Ignore them. Rules are set by the powerful side, and if we were to accommodate the weak, avoiding challenges and training, we too would eventually beco weak. Gather all the human soldiers and distribute the materials from the kills last night."
The main drop last night was the "Imperial Feast Feast" dropped by the Ogre Lord.
It could accommodate twenty-five people, and after use, within 48 hours, Physique 2, Life Value 500, Defense Value 200, Attack increased by 30%, Critical Strike Rate increased by 15%, Critical Strike Effect increased by 75%. It’s essentially a one-ti powerful strategic treasure.
Lin Rui thought about it and decided to use it. This journey was far from the territory, with a long road ahead, and no one knew what dangers might be encountered.
Within the Empire, it’s not like a ga map with no novice zones or danger zones. Apart from so very dangerous forest interiors and monster nests, the danger lies randomly elsewhere.
One might cross hundreds of miles without any danger, or suddenly encounter a raiding beastn squad. Enhancing strength provided great assurance for this trip.
Especially with Life Value 500, the enhancent for Elite-level soldiers was incredibly significant, even enough to determine life or death.
Then there were two portions of Golden Earth Dragon Waist, a precious-level food, each able to enhance 1 point of Physique Value.
Lin Rui gave them to Yvette and Audrey, as both had relatively fragile physiques and couldn’t compare to Terion’s like a perfect Priest, excellent in close combat, both tough and firm.
Therefore, Lin Rui had to worry particularly about enhancing their Physique Attributes.
Truly powerful girls should be like Eleanor, a sweep with long legs, sending all demons and ghosts flying, capable of throwing ogres across the shoulder, even breaking their waists.
