Chapter 584 401: All Sorted, Luna Returns
This Floating Technique is exactly the same as the effect that comes with the Floating Ring (Blue) in Zong Shen's hand.
The only difference is that the Skill Book's skill is level 1, while the Floating Technique inscribed in the ring is level 10.
The latter surpasses the former in terms of duration, flight speed, and altitude.
However, as the saying goes, you can never have too many skills, so Zong Shen still decided to learn it.
This is a simple yet practical universal magic.
He looked at the Skill Book and directly chose to activate and learn it.
The entire Skill Book immediately transformed into sparkling fireflies that seeped into his head.
Soon after, a new Floating Technique skill was added to his personal attributes.
Counting the one attached to the Floating Ring, he could use the Floating Technique twice in critical moments.
Now, only one piece of excellent-level equipment remained.
This was a pair of chain mail gloves.
The inner layer was made of thick, soft, finely woven cloth.
Silver magic threads were embroidered on it, forming some magic runes.
[Dispel Gloves (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent Level]
[Hand Armor: 15]
[Skill: Dispel Level 10 (Can dispel an effect of a control magic not exceeding Tier Three for oneself or allies, cooldown time 2 hours)
Passive Skill: Grip Level 5 (Increases grip ability of hands, reduces weapon drop probability by 15%)]
(Hand armor that increases hand defense, reducing the risk of serious hand injuries during intense battles)
A rather rare piece of hand armor, just right to replace the Protective Thick Hide Gloves (Green) Zong Shen was currently wearing, with a very practical dispel skill attached.
This way, Zong Shen wouldn't have to wear Boswell's stinky shoes to dispel negative magic.
He took off the old gloves and put on the new ones.
The chain structure and soft lining ensured the flexibility of his hands.
His hand defense was also increased to 15 points.
Effectively reducing the risk of debilitating injuries when hands are exposed.
Now, all the rewards and items were finally sorted out.
Only eight Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scrolls and two Necromancer Recruitment Scrolls were left.
The time had already reached past 11 o'clock in the morning.
"My lord, we are back."
Outside the Lord's Courtyard came Luna's call.
She and Favide had finally returned from the mine.
Hearing this, Zong Shen tidied up the table.
He stored everything in the storage grid, then quickly walked out.
"Huff huff..."
"Huff..."
As soon as he stepped out of the Lord's Small Tower, Zong Shen heard the sound of the wind howling.
In this short period, the outside climate had changed again.
The overall temperature dropped to two or three degrees above zero.
It could drop below zero at any moment.
Luna and Favide were waiting at the entrance of the small tower.
They wore fur coats and double-sided cold-resistant suits.
When Zong Shen walked out, they dismounted together and bowed to him.
"How is the situation in the mine?"
"Did the mining go as usual these past two days?"
"How's the temperature?"
Zong Shen nodded slightly, asking a few questions he was particularly concerned about.
Upon hearing this, Luna stepped forward with a gentle smile, reporting softly to Zong Shen.
"Everything is normal in the mine."
"The environment inside the mine is relatively closed."
"Except for a few air vents, the temperature is higher than on the ground in other areas."
"The mining is very smooth, and I followed your instructions to store these days' harvest in the mining area's warehouse."
Looking at Luna's face, Zong Shen couldn't help but smile too.
"Well done."
"Frosty winter is coming, keep warm."
Favide, standing beside them, could only continue to smile foolishly and nod.
His stomach was already full of dog food.
The cold wind blew continually, with the wind becoming more intense.
This made Favide, who was a Fire Mage, feel uncomfortable.
With the temperature dropping and the climate changing, he could feel the fire magic elements in the surroundings becoming scarce.
He couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Favide, are you cold?"
This small action was keenly noticed by Zong Shen.
"N... no..."
"With the double-sided cold-resistant suit, this bit of cold wind is nothing."
Favide was initially startled, then hurriedly waved his hand.
"Hey!"
"I have another task for you."
"Help me bring all these warriors to the living area."
"Leave the Wolf Cavalry to Korby."
"Let Tasuya deal with the Necromancers."
"Once this is done, you can take a rest."
"However, I estimate the Magic Hall is already full."
"Maybe you can ask Marie for a book to read."
Zong Shen laughed slightly, waving the large stack of recruitment scrolls in his hand.
He already saw through that Favide wanted to sneak away for a rest.
Hearing this, Favide scratched his head awkwardly, repeatedly agreeing out loud.
"Favide is at the lord's command!"
Zong Shen waved to these two and walked with them outside the courtyard.
Once he ensured there was enough recruitment space.
He tossed all ten recruitment scrolls into the air.
These fell like scattered flowers.
He chose to activate and recruit them all.
Ten beams of light fell simultaneously, turning into ten space singularities.
Eventually, they transformed into ten cocoons of light.
Eight robust figures riding on grassland giant wolves first appeared there.
As Tier Two Warriors, the recruitment speed and process were also faster.
As soon as these eight robust figures appeared, they headed straight towards Zong Shen with a clear goal.
They dismounted from their wargs, placed their right fists on their left chest, and knelt on one knee to pay homage.
"Wolf Cavalry Otto reports to you!"
"Wolf Cavalry Sorunbu reports to you!"
...
"Great Lord, may you live long!"
...
Eight rough voices sounded almost simultaneously.
The different tones gathered together, creating a sense of momentum.
This is the standard procedure for recruiting soldiers.
It is also a process of pledging allegiance.
Zong Shen looked around at the eight Wolf Cavalry Warriors, nodding slowly.
He maintained a gentle smile on his face.
"Stand up, warriors."
"Welcome to the territory."
"This will be your new home from now on."
Zong Shen gestured for them to stand with his hand.
He spoke familiarly.
Thinking back to when he first hit the ground and killed a grassland wolf, he burst the first Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll.
Using the scroll, he gained the first warrior of this world.
Wolf Cavalry Korby!
At that time, Zong Shen felt a bit nervous meeting Korby.
Now, facing these eight Wolf Cavalry Warriors, he exuded the steady demeanor of a Great Lord.
The eight Wolf Cavalry got up and mounted their wargs.
By this time, the other two cocoons of light were also ready.
Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the cocoons of light.
This time, the Necromancers were one male and one female.
They were wearing the standard equipment of a Tier Three Necromancer.
A black and gray coarse fabric magic robe paired with a vine-like magic staff.
The female Necromancer was tall.
She was at least 1.7 meters tall, a head taller than Tasuya.
But to Zong Shen, she didn't meet his aesthetic preference as much as Tasuya.
Because she was too skinny, even her cheeks appeared gaunt.
Moreover, she was young yet an owner of a personal flat chest.
Her slender legs lacked flesh.
As for the male Necromancer, he was even more unattractive.
He looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old.
His face was full of aging wrinkles, and gray-white hair circled the bald top of his head.
His back was slightly hunched, and his gaze was rather gloomy.
Now, Zong Shen understood, compared to these two.
Tasuya was definitely considered good-looking.
They slowly walked towards Zong Shen, their facial expressions stiff.
This part was similar to how Tasuya used to be.
The two of them reached Zong Shen's presence and struck the ground with their magic staff, kneeling on one knee.
"In the name of the undead and wraiths."
"Necromancer Edgeworth reporting to you."
"Necromancer Meili reporting to you."
"My blood is willing to spill where you guide it!"
