Chapter 893: Chapter 528: Level 5 Lord’s Fortress and Frost Magic Gemstones
Put the [Rescue] skill to its maximum limit.
[Rescue] at level 10 provides a 40% chance of saving lives.
This is a Lord Skill that can defy fate.
That means if a battle results in 100 soldiers wounded or killed.
The Max [Rescue] effect can save the lives of 40 soldiers.
Don’t be misled by the minimal casualties among Zong Shen’s warriors.
It’s all due to his caution and prudence.
Along with the overall strength of the territory, combat supplies, and logistical support being well-managed.
Thus, the casualties are relatively low.
It’s the result of concerted effort.
This involves various aspects and reflects the soft power of the territory.
When large-scale battles emerge in the future.
The effect of [Rescue] can truly shine.
As for the 40 points of allocatable Weapon Proficiency, it’s easier to handle.
His highest [Weapon Proficiency] is in [One-Handed Weapons].
Through combat exercises over this period, it has naturally grown from 197 points to 225 points.
Other proficiencies have also seen slight improvements.
Considering the commonly used weapons and backup weapons at hand.
Zong Shen decided to allocate these proficiencies to [Two-Handed Weapons] and [Long Pole Weapons].
Adding 20 points to each.
[Two-Handed Weapons: 155]
[Long Pole Weapons: 139]
After allocating points, Zong Shen clenched his fist.
Feeling that he has grown slightly stronger...
Is he still a bit thirsty?
He checked the guide module for the exact time and found it’s already 11:16 in the morning.
The heat was outrageous.
Looking up at the sky, not a cloud in sight.
The sunlight was bright red, wholeheartedly spreading light and heat over the earth.
Such temperatures made people feel irritable.
In just a few hours, the temperature had risen by more than ten degrees.
Zong Shen exhaled heavily and headed towards the [Tier Three Cellar] where the gemstones were stored.
The cellar structure is hidden underground, with only a small triangular wooden hut above ground.
The entrance is inside the tiny wooden hut.
Entering the hut and pulling open the wooden plank door on the floor revealed a dirt staircase.
The [Tier Three Cellar] is much larger than the [Tier One Cellar].
Even the tunnel-like entrance reflects this.
At least three people can walk side by side into it.
Zong Shen retrieved the last remaining [Magic Power Flashlight].
Turned it to the second level of brightness for illumination.
He walked down the descending staircase.
The main body of the cellar is about three meters below the surface.
Here, it is much cooler than outside.
Inside the cellar, there are stacks of round supply barrels.
No illumination is needed as faint halos of various colors glimmer.
The entire cellar is divided into two areas.
One section stores ordinary gemstones, the other stores magical gemstones.
Zong Shen’s target was indeed those magical gemstones.
Every type of magical gemstone has been classified based on element type and tier for storage.
The circular supply boxes have engraved text annotations.
Making them easy to find.
Back then, to classify this batch of gemstones, over a hundred people were mobilized.
Heroes like Wenresa and Marie spent the entire night to complete it.
According to the text annotations, Zong Shen quickly found the supply boxes containing Frost Gemstones.
There are the most Tier One ones, enough to fill two supply barrels, all completely full.
Tier Two looks like two barrels too, but actually only one is full, the second one is roughly a quarter full.
Each supply barrel can hold around three to four thousand magical gemstones.
Tier Three, Tier Four, and Tier Five are even fewer in quantity.
As for Tier Six, it’s even scarcer, with only a single-digit quantity.
This shouldn’t be surprising, as Tier Six magical gemstones are equivalent to Epic Level.
Not even medium-sized gemstone mines can extract them in large quantities.
Zong Shen thought for a moment.
He ended up taking 500 Tier One gemstones, 250 Tier Two gemstones, 100 Tier Three gemstones, 30 Tier Four gemstones, 10 Tier Five gemstones, and 2 Tier Six gemstones.
These Frost Gemstones would become his experimental test subjects, attempting to deal with the Flame Demon Boss.
This batch of gemstones is quite valuable.
Whether among the indigenous people or listed for sale on the [Market], it is the same.
The way Zong Shen’s fortune is growing now, with gemstones piled high within the territory.
If these Frost Gemstones could really inflict damage on the Flame Demon Boss.
For Zong Shen, it would be a tremendous gain.
Despite the high value of the gemstones, Zong Shen has plenty in reserve.
The stock of these gemstones has already exceeded the territory’s normal consumption.
Only by using them quickly and converting their value can they be turned into a driving force for the territory’s development.
If these Frost Gemstones prove useless, there’s no harm in bringing them back.
The reason Zong Shen brought Frost Gemstones from Tier One to Tier Six was for experimental testing.
To see if they work, and if they do, to observe which tier of Frost Gemstones offers the highest cost-effectiveness in terms of damage.
These are points that need attention.
As the name suggests, Frost Gemstones contain Frost Magic Power.
Zong Shen took out a Tier Five gemstone and played with it in his hand.
This gemstone is about the size of an egg, not polished, hardly aesthetically pleasing.
The shape was almost oval, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, slightly irregular.
The back was still covered with some black rough stone skin.
The other side was bluish-white crystal.
Its texture was delicate and smooth.
With a constant faint coolness seeping out.
After all, it’s a Tier Five Frost Magic Gemstone.
Containing ample and pure Frost Magic Power.
However, this Frost Magic Power remains firmly locked within the gemstone.
Since the gemstones are their carriers, naturally, they won’t easily suffer magic power leakage.
Unless magic arrays or engraved runes are used as magic guides, otherwise, using Frost Gemstones directly for cooling is impossible.
This represents a very stable form of magic power storage.
After playing with it for a while, Zong Shen stored the gemstone away in the storage grid.
