Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Dragon-kin Ranger and the Natural Altar
The two singularities gradually expanded, causing a slight distortion in the surrounding space.
Two graceful figures slowly emerged from the spatial singularities.
They had golden hair and appeared beautiful yet cold, looking very much alike, like twin sisters.
The only difference was that one had her hair tied in a ponytail, while the other let her hair down.
They were dressed in light green ranger outfits, with black cloaks draped over their backs, embroidered with a roaring giant dragon in gold thread.
Their dashing attire accentuated their shapely figures perfectly.
On either side of their waists hung a quiver and a short sword.
In their hands, they held a black longbow, about 1.5 meters in length.
They walked with agile steps to stand before Zong Shen.
They planted their longbows into the ground, knelt on one knee, and gently placed a hand on their foreheads.
"In the name of the Dragon God!"
"Dragon-kin Ranger Mapple!"
"Dragon-kin Ranger Madeleine!"
"Reporting to you!"
"Great Lord, may you conquer the continent like the Dragon God!"
The two Dragon-kin Rangers spoke in unison with the same tone and voice.
The one with the ponytail was Mapple.
The one with her hair down was Madeleine.
"You two, please rise."
"Welcome to the team, and I hope we can fight side by side to establish a great territory!"
Zong Shen said with a smile.
The two Dragon-kin Rangers nodded slightly and stood up, standing beside Zong Shen.
Zong Shen glanced briefly and noted their attributes.
[Dragon-kin Ranger: Mapple]
[Strength: 22]
[Agility: 32]
[Wisdom: 12]
[Charm: 12]
[Life Value: 385]
[Piercing Damage: 70]
[Slashing Damage: 42]
[Head Armor Value: 0]
[Upper Body Armor Value: 20]
[Lower Body Armor Value: 15]
[Magic Resistance: 20]
[Skills: Passive Eagle Eye lv10 (greatly enhances the dynamic vision and nerve response of the Dragon-kin Ranger), Giant Dragon Shot lv10 (fires three arrows at the target, dealing 1.1/1.3/1.5x damage respectively, cooling time 5m), Dragon Blood Boiling lv5 (activates the dragon bloodline within, increasing Life Value, Attack Power, and Movement Speed by 20%, lasts 1m, cooling 8h)]
(A powerful longbow shooter, boasting a greater range than a mage, significantly enhancing your ranged attack output)
The attributes of the two Dragon-kin Rangers were the same, with Mapple being Madeleine’s twin sister.
Overall, they were very powerful ranged warriors.
Next, Zong Shen took out the [Intermediate Charm Book] and slapped it, using it directly.
[Intermediate Charm Book]
[Increases Charm by 4 points after use]
Zong Shen’s Charm reached 15 points, and his Command Limit became 45.
No wonder the strategy mentioned before not to worry about these attributes...
As long as one is strong enough, various item bonuses alone can stack up the attributes.
After finishing all this, Zong Shen turned his attention to the stone altar.
[Natural Altar (Damaged)]
[Quality: Rare Level Special Building]
[Repair Requirements: High-level Magic Pattern Stone ×10, Secret Silver ×15, Intermediate Wood Rune ×3]
[Occupied Area: 2 square meters]
[Durability Value: 860]
[Building Armor: 13]
[An architectural remnant from the Ancient Elf Race, once fully repaired, sacrificing a mighty Purple Soul can summon a hero with purple quality, can only be used once]
[Click to Relocate]
(A Heroic-level hero possesses the Four Major Attributes and twenty-four Passive Skills, and can manage the territory, command soldiers, and explore treasures on behalf of the lord)
(This altar can help you recruit an ancient hero, although if you are willing to spend time visiting taverns in various cities and giant cities, you may have a chance to encounter heroic talents)
A recruitment building that can be used only once.
Who knows how many soldiers and heroes they’ve sealed in Other Dimensions!?
Zong Shen chose to relocate the [Natural Altar], which instantly shrank and transformed into a small light ball of altar shadow, stored in his storage grid.
Currently, he had enough High-level Magic Pattern Stones and Secret Silver, but lacked Intermediate Wood Runes.
Basic Runes could be directly synthesized into Intermediate Runes at a ratio of 10:1, and Zong Shen planned to scour the market during this time, believing that it wouldn’t be long before he could repair the [Natural Altar].
Having looted all the rewards, Zong Shen’s territory was strengthened considerably.
By now it was already past 5 p.m.
The sky began to tinge with yellow.
The afterglow of the sun still shone on the earth.
"Let’s set off, ensuring we return to the territory before dark to start the expansion mission."
Zong Shen raised his hand, pointing in the direction of the territory.
Considering that the two rangers and mages didn’t have mounts, traversing on foot was too exhausting and time-consuming.
Zong Shen pulled out the [Avalon Prairie Horses] and directly extracted four tall, reddish-brown horses.
[Avalon Prairie Horse]
[Quality: Refined]
[Charge: 4]
[Speed: 5]
[Armor: 28]
[Life Value: 220/220]
[Hunger Level: 70]
[Riding Skill Requirement Level 3]
(A prairien steed from the Avalon Kingdom, enduring and valiant, it makes a very good mount)
The four horses were lined up, and Zong Shen was unsure if the rangers and mages met the level 3 Riding Skill requirement, feeling a bit worried.
Only when he saw the two rangers and two mages comfortably mounted on the horses did he feel relieved.
Zong Shen also mounted his Old Traveling Horse.
He was already accustomed to this clever old fellow. Although its speed of 4 was slightly slower than the prairie horse by 1 point, it was more than sufficient for traveling and commuting.
The entire group had mounts now and began to gallop.
Conversely, Zong Shen gradually fell to the back of the group...
Dust and grass clippings flew up from the grassland.
The group moved at full speed...
The sky began to turn yellow as the sun lowered.
The last of the sunlight still illuminated the land.
"Let’s head out, and get back to the territory before dark to start the expansion mission."
Zong Shen waved his hand grandly, pointing towards the direction of the territory.
Since all the rangers and mages were comfortably mounted on horseback, he was relieved.
Upon arrival, they saw the 12-meter-high Elemental Arrow Tower standing firmly within the small courtyard, perfectly defending the whole territory.
Zong Shen and his team tied their horses at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Seizing the few remaining minutes of daylight, he prepared to complete the expansion mission and upgrade the territory to level 2.
"Is it suitable to start the territory expansion task now?"
He asked himself.
(Now is a good time to start the expansion task, there are no highly threatening targets within the range)
The golden hint flashed.
Speaking of which, since Avalon is called the Dragon-kin civilization, it’s not surprising to have greedy handsome guys pass by...
Right now, Zong Shen only hoped that those guys wouldn’t stop by his territory.
