Chapter 882: Chapter 525: High-Level Fertile Land and Hammer of Iron Forging
All matters that needed attention have been handled adequately.
Even the wind blowing is scorching hot.
A five to six-minute journey left Zong Shen drenched in sweat.
An additional Tier Three Cellar and several Water Cellars were built in the Central District.
The newly constructed cellar is an Ice Cellar.
This was specifically instructed by Zong Shen to Marie earlier.
After half-filling it with water, the Frost Raven was summoned to exhale a chill.
Freezing all the water into solid ice.
Then, more than a hundred barrels were acquired, repeatedly filled with water and frozen.
Creating blocks of barrel ice which were then placed into the cellar.
Stopping only when a quarter of the cellar space was left unoccupied.
This will serve as an emergency cooling refuge during heatwaves.
Additionally, the long-overdue construction of the Low Temperature Cold Storage in the territory has been completed.
This too can serve as an alternative cooling place.
Currently, half of the territory’s food reserves are stored in the cold storage.
In case the Artificial Ice Cellar fails, the cold storage can serve as a fallback.
All these preparations are to cope with the upcoming Heat Wave Challenge.
Ironically, Zong Shen once detested snow and cold intensely.
Now he actively prepares for cooling measures.
Smirking, Zong Shen put away the Burden-Bearer Mecha and walked into the Lord’s Courtyard.
The Lord’s Small Tower remained silent.
Due to the external temperature rise, the indoors were also becoming stuffy and hot.
In such circumstances, Zong Shen couldn’t help recalling the frosty winter days of huddling in the small tower for warmth.
"This damn Lord System just loves to mess with people!"
Zong Shen’s back was already soaked through.
This sticky heat made him somewhat irritable.
He simply took off his battle armor, throwing it onto a chair.
Took out the Communication Crystal and directly contacted Wenresa, asking her to bring over the Frost Raven.
He needed that guy to exhale its chill for cooling.
Not to mention, the formal challenge hasn’t officially begun yet.
Even though the Heat Wave Challenge has started, Frost Magic and Water Element Magic would only be weakened, not completely ineffective, so it’s better to quickly let the Frost Raven exhale now while it can.
Any moment of coolness is worth it.
In the previous relic exploration operation, he found two treasure chests in the cave with the Unknown Transmission Array, one Ancient Bronze and one Silver.
And a total of four treasure chests were found in the dungeon of the relic.
Three Silvers and one Gold.
But one of the Silvers was a trap.
As for the Rapids Tribe, he acquired a total of seven items.
Among them were three treasure chests: two Black Iron and one Silver.
Excluding the Trap Treasure Chest, Zong Shen had eight unopened treasure chests on hand.
Two Black Iron, one Ancient Bronze, four Silver, and one Gold.
This was the total haul of treasure chests from going out these past few days.
He placed all the treasure chests neatly together.
His gaze first fell upon the Trap Treasure Chest.
[Silver Treasure Chest]
[An unknown Silver Treasure Chest, no one knows what it might contain]
(This treasure chest is a trap, once opened it will trigger Tier Three Hypnosis Magic, putting you into a solid 24-hour sleep)
The Trap Treasure Chest storage had a new general added to its ranks.
For any Trap Treasure Chest, Zong Shen would specifically collect and store it away.
In certain moments, the trap magic contained within these treasure chests might be of great use.
The remaining two Black Iron Treasure Chests, Zong Shen also chose not to open for now.
The reason was simple, the items inside Black Iron Treasure Chests no longer held any appeal for him.
Additionally, Zong Shen was considering using the treasure chests to build a special Shield Vehicle.
At the very least, they could be awarded to standout members of the legion to garner goodwill.
Anyhow, Black Iron Treasure Chests at most yield Refined Level items.
Of little significance to Zong Shen.
But for other lords, it’s different.
Even Black Iron Treasure Chests are an irresistible temptation for them.
After all, unlike him, other lords haven’t opened so many chests that they’re sick of it.
Their perspectives and expectations remain high.
Ordinary lords don’t have the luxury of being picky.
Now they view treasure chests in much the same way Zong Shen did half a month ago.
Setting the two Black Iron Treasure Chests and the Trap Silver Treasure Chest aside.
Zong Shen approached the Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest.
With a wave of his hand, he chose to open the chest.
Five orbs of different colors emerged.
[Opened Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest successfully]
[Garrison Square Shield (Blue) ×1]
[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll ×2]
[Coarse Wheat Bread ×5]
[Fire Oil (Green) ×2]
[Black Beer ×1]
The five items were rather unremarkable.
The best is an Excellent Level Quality Shield.
It can be given to the four Rodok Soldiers.
Earlier in the Rapids Tribe battle, their shields got smashed.
Their durability was nearly exhausted.
As Tier Four Heavy Infantry, the importance of shields is undeniable.
Their standard shields have attributes ranging from Excellent Level to Rare Level.
This Excellent Level shield doesn’t match their standard ones.
But it’s not much worse either.
At least the appearance and dimensions are quite similar.
When there are no other options, it’ll do.
Meanwhile, the [Fire Oil] is a flammable liquid, useful for making [Molotov Cocktails].
It can also be directly ignited.
The treasure chest contained two portions, each about one liter.
Stored in a completely sealed small wooden barrel.
Lastly, the usual items, recruitment scrolls, food, and drinks.
Zong Shen organized them into separate categories and placed them aside.
