"Really cheap, build away!"
Zong Shen waved his big hand and found a vacant spot near the courtyard to place the shadow of a stable.
A farmer began constructing.
Standing outside the territory, Zong Shen pondered for a moment before waving his hand to arrange 3 [Tier One Grass Huts] to alleviate some housing pressure.
Seven farmers began participating in the construction, and the entire territory entered the third wave of construction frenzy.
Zong Shen took a glance at the basic resources.
[Basic Elemental Crystal ×21]
[Refined Forging Alloy ×2]
[Basic Wood Rune ×24]
[High-level Magic Pattern Stone ×186]
[Basic Magic Pattern Stone ×80]
Overall, it was quite sufficient, with the farmers’ gathering combined with the [Moon Holy Water] trade, enough to meet the current territorial construction progress.
Zong Shen felt a sense of accomplishment from his orderly territory.
"Right, that [Territory Technology Research Institute] is already built, let’s go check it out."
Suddenly remembered something.
Quickly walked to the left side of the territory. On the open ground north of the houses, there was a small twenty-square-meter cabin with a continent icon surrounded by stars on top.
This was the Technology Research Institute.
It was similar to the [Market], both unique functional buildings.
Zong Shen opened the research institute.
Four technology categories appeared first, with another seven or eight in darkness, unable to be viewed.
Within these four technology categories, each opened four options of upgradable technology, with the rest unable to be viewed.
Probably the research institute’s level is not high enough.
The technology categories are respectively:
[Attack Type I (Increase attack power by 1% per level)]
[Defense Type I (Increase armor value by 1% per level)]
[Life Value Type I (Increase base health by 1% per level)]
[Ranged Attack Type I (Increase ranged attack by 1% per level)]
—— [Territory Development] ——
[Storage Shed Type I (Increase territory storage grid by 10 per level)]
[Vitality Type I (Increase physical strength recovery speed by 1% per level)]
[Running Type I (Increase movement speed by 1% per level)]
[Civil Engineering Type I (Increase construction speed by 1% per level)]
[Sharp Axe Type I (Increase woodcut speed by 1% per level)
[Strong Pick Type I (Increase stone gathering speed by 1% per level)]
[Miner Type I (Increase iron excavation probability by 1% per level)]
[Durability Enhancement Type I (Reduce tool durability consumption by 1% per level)]
—— [Fortifications] ——
[Solid Type I (Increase building durability value by 1% per level)]
[Shooting Hole Type I (Increase territory defense attack power by 1% per level)]
[Fortification Studies Type I (Additionally increase wall durability by 80 points per level)]
[Arrow Tower Type I (Additionally increase range and attack power of defensive buildings within territory by 1% per level)]
[Type I Technology level cap is level 5]
[Current research institute level 1, research queue 1]
Territory Technology, its contents are all beneficial technologies that can provide gains to the members of the entire territory.
Zong Shen decided to first research level 1 [Attack Type I] to test the waters.
Lv1 [Attack Type I] technology research requires 50 wood, 20 iron, 1 Basic Elemental Crystal, and 5h time.
The resource consumption is acceptable; at least it doesn’t require some flashy new materials.
Zong Shen chose to initiate research.
A countdown appeared at the bottom.
Zong Shen clapped his hands and exited the technology research state, letting it research on its own.
After checking the technology research, Zong Shen took out the [Holy Light Priest Recruitment Scroll].
He directly used the recruitment scroll.
The scroll in his hand transformed into a bright light.
The light was quite peculiar, seeming both white and golden, not at all glaring and dazzling.
It soared into the air and landed in front of Zong Shen, forming a column of light as tall as a person.
This light column looked extremely sacred, with runes representing Holy Light continuously emerging. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net
The recruitment scroll was like a key that could open the Other Dimension, also like a wedge guiding the soldiers’ descent.
The peculiar scene lasted only a second or two.
The light column gradually converged and disappeared.
In its place appeared a beautiful woman wearing a white priest robe, a golden crown on her head, and holding a short staff with a sapphire embedded at the top.
Her eyes were deep blue, with straight black hair neatly falling past her shoulders.
Her perfectly proportioned figure made people involuntarily imagine endlessly.
Her appearance was both elegant and beautiful.
Her expression was tranquil and serene.
There was an inviolable noble aura.
Her gaze was cold and clear, without any distractions, directly looking into Zong Shen’s eyes, as she slowly walked over.
Her hands holding the staff, resting against her chest, she slightly lowered her head.
In a holy and ethereal voice, she softly spoke.
"In the name of Holy Light."
"Holy Light Priest Aisha reporting to you!"
"Great Lord, may the ground you tread be guided by Holy Light!"
Zong Shen’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed upon her blue eyes, solemnly nodding.
"Holy Light Priest, welcome to join!"
"May we together create a prosperous territory illuminated by Holy Light!"
Aisha nodded upon hearing this, quietly walking behind him.
Zong Shen then turned his head, walking toward the courtyard entrance while checking Aisha’s attributes.
[Holy Light Priest: Aisha]
[Attributes: (Click to expand)]
Zong Shen expanded the attributes and began checking.
[Holy Light Priest: Aisha]
[Head Armor Value: 10]
[Upper Body Armor Value: 20]
[Lower Body Armor Value: 15]
[Magic Resistance: 18]
[Skills: Holy Light Blessing lv10 (No chanting required, consumes 50 points of mana, blesses an allied unit, increasing its life value limit by 20%, attack power by 20%, and attaches 20 points of extra light attribute magic damage to attacks, lasts 60s, cooling time 10m)]
Holy Light Healing lv10 (No chanting required, consumes 50 points of mana, heals an ally, restoring 400 points of life value, cooling time 10m; using Holy Light Healing on the Undead Race will cause 400 points of great damage)]
Holy Light Arrow lv10 (Chanting for 2s, consumes 30 points of mana, launches a Holy Light Arrow, causing 1.5 times magic damage, the damage doubles when hitting the Undead Race)]
Summon Holy Spirit lv10 (Chanting for 1m, consumes 200 points of mana, summons a powerful lv10 Dual Sword Holy Spirit Warrior, lasts for 5m, cooling time 8h)]
Zong Shen was stunned...!
It turned out to be a powerful priest with four skills: two support skills, one attack skill, and one summoning skill.
Can heal and output damage.
Come to think of it, it seems the recruited soldiers’ appearance has been increasingly higher lately!
