Chapter 322: Reinforced City Wall, Second Assassin! (5400)

After saying that, Yaskin hung up the phone.

As Cao Xing walked, he began to think about related things.

Obviously, a mature territory must have its own business model.

After all, no business is as profitable as real estate.

This is a very profitable business, and it can generate continuous profits.

For example, the shop owned by Yaskin costs 15 kronor a year in rent.

There are countless shops like this in the entire city of Melinde.

It can be imagined that at the end of the year, the amount of kronor earned from rent alone is a huge number.

Most of this money went into the city lord's pocket.

It's not just the shop's money.

As the city lord, he also has income from various taxes.

Business taxes, trade taxes, etc…

The ability of a prosperous city to make money is much more terrifying than that of a baron.

If Cao Xing could own such a city, he really wouldn't have to worry about money and these resources.

Shaking my head, these are all very far away things.

As the saying goes, eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

At present, the more important thing for Cao Xing is to improve his own strength.

When your strength is strong enough, you will naturally have these.

As he was thinking, he had already arrived near the [Intermediate Mage Tower].

Then he called out the old wizard, Terran.

This old wizard has been staying in the wizard tower ever since he was summoned by him.

The accumulation of experience allowed him to reach level 30, and today he has officially broken through to level 4.

At this moment, after seeing him, the old wizard Tailun saluted respectfully, "Respected Lord, good night."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then said: "Mr. Tailun, are you used to your time in our territory?"

The old wizard smiled gently, and then said with emotion: "My Lord, as I said before, this is a magical territory."

"For all mages, it is like a holy place. I am very used to living here."

"Moreover, we haven't made any contribution to the territory until now, but the Lord not only allows us to use the Mage Tower unlimitedly, but also helps us improve our strength."

"I really feel a little ashamed..."

At this point, a look of guilt appeared in Terran's eyes.

These earth mages are still growing. After learning more skills in the Mage Tower, they will have stronger combat power.

So I don’t usually use them.

Cao Xing shook his head. "Mr. Tailun, don't be ashamed. I'm here to work for you now, right?"

Hearing this, Tyron's expression suddenly brightened. He quickly grasped the staff and said excitedly: "My Lord, just give me your orders. I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want you to cast the advanced spell 'Rock Barrier' on the wall of our territory."

This skill can greatly enhance the armor and durability of the city wall, but it consumes a lot of mana.

Before, Terran was only a third-level leader, but now that he has broken through to the fourth level, his mental power has also skyrocketed. It is time for him to play a role.

Although the wall of his territory was only half built, Cao Xing just wanted to try out this skill.

Hearing this request, Tairen replied respectfully: "I am happy to serve you, Lord!"

After saying that, he and Cao Xing came to the edge of the territory.

Looking at the half-built city wall, Cao Xing asked, "Mr. Tailun, if you use all your strength now, how many meters of the city wall can you cover?"

This advanced spell is not fixed. The casting area is determined by the magic power invested by the user when releasing the skill.

The old wizard observed for a while, then said: "After I broke through the fourth level this time, my mental power has increased significantly. If I use up all my magic power at once, I can probably cover 30 city walls, which is about meters in length."

Hearing this, Cao Xing did some calculation in his mind.

This advanced spell has a cooling time of 30 minutes. Assuming it can be cast 300 meters at a time, it will take at least 11 hours to cover the entire territory's walls.

But the city wall hasn't been completed yet, so it won't take that much time.

Moreover, Cao Xing’s main purpose was not to find out how long it would take the old wizard Terran to cast spells on all the city walls.

Instead, I want to try whether this skill can be amplified by [Eternal Power].

From 10 minutes to forever?

So Cao Xing said directly: "Let's give it a try."

After hearing this, Terran also raised his staff.

As some obscure, heavy syllables came out of his mouth.

The next moment, the soil in the ground ahead began to rise rapidly!
Then, a large amount of soil covered the city wall and quickly became dry and solid, as if it was covered with a layer of ochre shell.

In the blink of an eye, a khaki city wall was completed.

Not only that, Cao Xing also noticed that the thickness and height of the city wall had also been greatly improved.

From the original 4 meters high and 1 meter wide, it quickly increased to 8 meters high and 2 meters wide!

This area has already exceeded the size of a high-level city wall.

After a moment, Tyrone finished casting his magic.

All 30 city walls have grown dramatically!

He looked as if all his magic power had been drained out, and his face was pale.

At this moment, Cao Xing was also waiting excitedly.

at last!

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member Tyron Rockspeaker successfully casts [Advanced Spell Rock Barrier], increasing the wall armor by 400 points and durability by 40000 points for 10 minutes. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent...]
(Note: In the permanent state, the rock barrier is solidified on the city wall. When the durability of the rock barrier is reduced, the mages can consume some magic power to repair the city wall and restore its durability.)
(Note 2: If the rock barrier is broken, the mage will need to consume a lot of magic power to restore it.)
(Note 3: If the rock barrier and the entire wall it covers are shattered, the magic effect disappears...)
...

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a strong sense of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes!
"Haha! It really works!"

In this way, the old wizard Tyrone only needs to use all of them once, which is equivalent to greatly strengthening all the city walls and greatly increasing the defense capabilities!

However, Cao Xing also saw the system prompt. Although this layer of rock barrier is permanent, if its durability decreases or it is broken, it will also require magic power to repair it.

But it’s normal if you think about it.

After all, when ordinary city walls are damaged and destroyed, workers will need to spend materials and time to repair them.

Now, it can be repaired by simply consuming magic power, which saves Cao Xing a lot of resources in disguise.

Cao Xing said with a smile on his face: "The talent of eternal power is really convenient!"

"It just so happens that those earth mages usually have nothing to do. When we encounter a siege in the future, let them concentrate on repairing the city walls down there. It will be more difficult for the enemy to break through."

In addition, another point that attracted Cao Xing's attention was that the skill introduction he had seen before was to increase armor by 300 and durability by 3.

Now it has become 400 points of armor and 4 durability.

Cao Xing glanced at Terran's attributes and found that his skill values ​​had indeed changed.

Soon, he understood why.

This is probably because Tyrone broke through to the fourth level and controlled stronger earth elemental power, so the values ​​of various skills were also enhanced.

This is quite good. If this earth mage continues to become stronger, he can reach level seven or eight.

By then, when [Rock Barrier] is cast again, the armor and durability of the city wall will be increased several times or more!

Safety is greatly increased!

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

At the same time, he also noticed the pale face of the old wizard Terran.

He took out a few drops of [Top-quality Tree Sap] from his backpack.

"Mr. Terran, please replenish your magic power first."

The old wizard had a thoughtful look in his eyes. He naturally felt the powerful magic contained in the few drops of leaves in Cao Xing's hand.

He took it respectfully.

After drinking just one drop, I felt that most of my magic power was instantly restored.

The color returned to his pale face.

The old wizard Tailun exclaimed: "My Lord, what is this thing that has such a good effect?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's a kind of tree sap. I'll give you a few drops later."

After proving that this skill could exist permanently, Cao Xing's mood became very good.

Tai Lun said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord!"

"Then I will rest for a while, and then continue to cast advanced magic to strengthen our city walls."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No need, go to the Mage Tower and rest first."

"Get some energy and go out with us tomorrow."

Hearing this, Tai Lun was slightly surprised.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Cao Xing would take him with him tomorrow.

It's not a surprise, on the contrary, it makes me happy.

Because this means that Cao Xing has recognized him and he can also contribute to this territory.

"As you command, Lord."

"I'll go back to the Mage Tower and get ready."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then watched the old wizard walk briskly and excitedly returned to the wizard tower.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, Cao Xing returned to the central area of ​​the territory.

Although all the gains this time have been digested.

But he now has one more thing to do.

That is, use the recruitment scroll that he obtained in that camp.

Arriving at the open space outside the residential area, Cao Xing directly took out the scroll which was completely black but had gold edges.

[Do you want to use: Level 4 Leader-level Assassin Recruitment Scroll? ]

[Note: After use, a fourth-order assassin creature of a random race will be summoned...]

...

"Is it random again?"

"Last time, the random summon brought out Hilda, the Blood Spider Queen. I wonder what this time will bring?"

Cao Xing thought for a moment and nodded "yes" directly!
In an instant, a strong black mist rose in front of Cao Xing.

"Wow!"

The gushing black mist was almost solidifying.

He vaguely saw an invisible shadow moving in the black fog. Then, a short figure appeared.

And when the black fog has not yet disappeared.

moment--

A flash of cold light suddenly attacked Cao Xing!

At this moment, Cao Xing's eyes were slightly cold.

"Interesting. A subject who attacked me right after he was summoned?"

“This is the first time I’ve encountered this!”

And Cao Xing didn't show any fear.

He simply raised his staff, and an ice wall emitting a strong chill appeared out of thin air in front of him.

With his current mental strength, he can cast these low-level spells almost instantly.

"Crack!"

The opponent's weapon scratched the ice wall, leaving a layer of shadowy aura.

However, the durability of Cao Xing's [Ice Wall Technique] is nearly 30,000.

It would take a lot of time for the opponent to break through this ice wall.

And this period of time is enough for Cao Xing to kill him!

The opponent was not stupid either. When his attack failed, he immediately disappeared from the spot.

But what he didn't know was that Cao Xing possessed the Eye of True Vision.

He could clearly see a dark shadow moving quickly, preparing to approach him from behind.

In the blink of an eye, he was less than ten meters behind Cao Xing.

If it were an ordinary mage, he would have panicked long ago if an assassin got so close to him!

But Cao is a fifth-level magician, and he crushes this assassin in terms of level, attributes, and even every aspect.

All of a sudden!
Cao Xing spread his legs and rushed out more than ten meters at a faster speed.

The figure stood there for a moment, seemingly confused.

How could there be a wizard who could run faster than an assassin?

Before the black shadow could react, a huge hexagram magic circle suddenly appeared under its feet.

"Freeze it!"

A strong cold air gushed out!

"Crash!"

What was strange was that the figure flashed again and actually escaped the control range of Cao Xing's [Extreme Ice Bloom].

Seeing this, Cao Xing's mouth curled up a little, "Interesting, this method of saving life is quite powerful."

But he remained calm.

Directly throw out an [Ice-Breaking Flying Blade] and release it towards the ground.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The ice ball hit the ground, and a large number of ice spikes exploded!

This skill directly turns into group attack damage!

The black shadow was unable to dodge and was hit by several ice spikes.

Then a few injuries appeared on the head.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

Cao Xing's current attack power has exceeded seven thousand. Even if it is just splash damage, these fourth-level creatures can't handle it.

The dark shadow groaned.

Just wanted to escape again.

At this moment, three huge ice blocks appeared above her head.

[Iceberg Fall] is ready to go.

Cao Xing's voice sounded with a hint of threat.

"If you move one more step, you'll be smashed into pulp."

Hearing this, the black shadow seemed to feel the threat of death coming from above his head.

She also knew that if the man in front of her wanted to, she would be dead by now.

After a moment, the shadowy aura on the other party disappeared.

She appeared like a ghost in the dark night, with her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and a hat on her head.

Under the hood, Cao Xing saw a pair of pointed animal ears playfully poking out from between the hair. They were furry and trembled slightly from time to time, as if sensing the slightest movement around them.

She was only about 1.2 meters tall, wearing a set of tight black leather armor, with a flat chest and a standard bust.

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Uh? Beast-eared girl?"

The facial features of this animal-eared girl are similar to those of humans, except that her pupils are green.

Cao Xing said happily: "Tell me, why did you attack me?"

The girl with animal ears crossed her arms, hugged them in front of her chest, and turned her head away.

"I just want to test the ability of the lord I want to serve."

"I didn't really mean to attack you. Look, even the weapon I used was a branch."

After saying that, she stretched out a furry little hand and shook the dry branch in her hand.

Cao Xing naturally knew that the other party did not really want to kill him.

When he attacked me just now, I didn't sense any murderous intent in him.

Otherwise, Cao Xing would not have kept her but killed her directly.

He continued to ask: "So now, what do you think of my strength?"

The beast-eared assassin raised her chin slightly and said with a proud look on her face.

"Not bad. I have been roaming the continent for hundreds of years, and you are the first mage who remained so calm after I got close to you, and was able to fight back against me."

"In this case, it is not a bad idea for me, Heli Scarlet Shadow, to pledge my loyalty to you."

But Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't decided whether to accept you into my territory."

Hearing this, a look of shame and anger flashed across the pretty face of the animal-eared girl.

"What? Back then, I was a famous assassination goddess. The whole continent had heard of my name!"

"You are still considering whether to accept me!"

Cao Xing nodded.

"Your strength is very poor, and your combat awareness is also very weak. Even a mage like me cannot defeat you."

"If an assassin from my territory attacks you, you won't be able to survive even one blow and will be killed on the spot."

"With your strength and combat awareness, I can't trust you with any missions."

Cao Xing's words were mocking the weakness of this beast-eared girl.

He already had experience in dealing with such arrogant beings.

First, suppress the other party with strength, then belittle the other party and undermine her self-confidence.

Then let her submit willingly.

Um... commonly known as CPU...

The beast-eared assassin named Heli Scarlet Shadow said with a depressed look on her face: "It's obviously you, the mage, who is too perverted!"

"I don't believe there is a stronger assassin than me in this territory!"

"This Feiying is the strongest!"

However, the words were not spoken yet.

A shadow came to Cao Xing silently.

Then, a figure emerged, it was Sarah.

"My Lord, I sensed a battle here. Did anything happen to you?"

She sounded worried, her eyes fixed on the small figure on the ground.

And when Sarah locked her eyes on the animal-eared assassin named Heli Feiying, she felt like she was being stared at by a terrifying poisonous snake. She was so scared that she dared not move!
Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, "It's okay Sarah, he's just our new member who wants to test his lord's ability."

"She also said that there is no assassin stronger than her in this territory."

Hearing this, Sarah's eyes showed a look of realization.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth curved up.

When the animal-eared assassin saw Sarah's expression, her face turned pale with fright!
But she still held the weapon tightly, with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat on her face.

At this moment, Sarah held the two daggers in her hands, which meant that she entered combat status.

In an instant, her figure disappeared from the spot!
An invisible shadow rushed towards the other party.

At the same time, the animal-eared girl was also on high alert. A black mist emerged from her body, making her figure blurred.

This is how battles between assassins are, there isn't much communication between them.

call--

There was a sound of wind passing by, as if darkness was flowing.

The girl with animal ears lurked in the darkness, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movements around her, but she felt nothing.

There wasn't even a feeling of being spied on.

However, this is exactly what is most terrifying.

This shows that the opponent's stealth and assassination skills are far superior to his own!
The girl with animal ears was just about to distance herself.

Suddenly I felt a terrifying chill from behind!

Although she knew that the knife was terrifying, she still didn't want to retreat!
"Humph! You actually said that I, Feiying, can't even take a single move. That's impossible!"

She raised the dagger in her hand, turned around and was ready to fight back.

However, the next moment, she saw the dagger suddenly changed its angle and wrapped around her wrist like a snake.

"Ding!"

Both parties contact!

The next moment, the dagger in the beast-eared girl's hand fell directly to the ground.

And Sarah's silent blade was already against her neck!
