CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 59: WHEN YOU GAZE INTO THE ABYSS, THE ABYSS ALSO GAZES INTO YOU

Lin Rui was increasingly satisfied with the Life and Death Fighter type of soldier, not only were they beautiful, with an impressive chest, but also extremely capable in combat.

So Lin Rui took out five Hard Battle Patterns that were dropped by Tier Five Evil God monsters and gave them all to Eleanor.

The Hard Battle Patterns can enhance physical defense by 30 points, and after using these five patterns, Eleanor had already used six, increasing her physical defense by 180 points, her toughness nearing that of the Knights.

Eleanor herself was of a warrior-type profession, combining output and toughness; as long as her defense slightly improved, she was the perfect Professional, not weaker than the Knights.

By then, guarding by the Wet Nurse’s side, if the opponent were careless, they could very likely be hit dizzy by her fists. She was a perfect Guardian. She could protect the Wet Nurse from damage while swiftly dispatching any sneak attackers.

The only tricky issue was this girl’s extreme restlessness; if not specifically ordered, she might dash to the front line, mingling with Knights, charging back and forth in monster hordes.

In short, these soldiers in the territory were all like troubled youths, leaving Young Master Lin with a headache.

Once all arrived, Lin Rui counted the soldiers: ten Fanatics, nine Knights, and together with Audrey, Terion, Eleanor, Yvette, Kipulin, and Lin Rui himself, there were exactly 25 people.

The size of the human soldier force alone was quite considerable, occupying a quarter of the population of the territory.

In the backpack were two Tier Three Recruitment Scrolls for long halberd and fierce armor and a pile of Knight’s Heart, which needed to be taken back to the territory for strengthening.

After enjoying a feast, Lin Rui distributed the Fine-level Equipment.

Currently, except for the Casters, all soldiers in the territory were equipped with Fine-level Weapons and a full set of Fine-level Equipment, so luxurious it surpassed the vast majority of Blue Star Explorers. Seven Knights even managed to assemble the Judgement Knight Order’s set, finely crafted and uniform, with bright armors.

Caster’s equipment was relatively rare, mainly because there were too few casting units.

In a troop of perhaps three thousand physical soldiers, there are only a few Casters. If it weren’t for Lin Rui’s added benefit from opening Treasure Chests, he might not have enough magical equipment.

Thus, Lin Rui could not help but glance again at the Rare Level Equipment in the backpack, featuring Tier Three Spiritual Technique Revelation and Demon Slaying Knife.

The Spiritual Technique Revelation is the main weapon for Casters, a book embedded with Spiritual Gems, adorned with various Runes and decrees, powerful enough to make one’s heart tremble. But its demanding equipment conditions left Lin Rui eagerly yearning.

After organizing the equipment, Lin Rui trained with the Knights.

Level 1 Meditation can enhance recovery speed while increasing the spiritual energy limit. An increased spiritual energy limit also raises the Spiritual Reaction Level; advancing this to Tier Two boosts numerous attributes. Additionally, lv2 Meditation raises the Will Attribute, which is crucial.

The Knights practiced attributes through Sun Flame Knight Visualization Method, potentially increasing Life Value, mana, or other attributes.

Audrey, rarely not pestering Lin Rui, sat on Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, enjoying the joy of free flight among treetops.

Xiaoxiao, a Rare Level Gargoyle standing almost four meters in height, made Audrey look petite sitting on its shoulders, not hindering its flight at all. It had to take care of Audrey’s physique, preventing violent wing flapping to avoid blowing her off with the strong wind.

After training, Lin Rui observed for a while, concluding that flying cavalry require powerful warriors to ride, ensuring they wouldn’t fall, thus not impacting the mount’s flight.

Watching Audrey flying about the sky, Lin Rui felt it necessary to find himself a flying mount too. Horned Owl Beast, Pegasus, even Two-legged Flying Dragon, all seemed worth considering; he was not picky.

When Lin Rui awoke, it was already past four in the afternoon; the campfire was lit, preparing dinner. Workers, though full of complaints, had to pack the wagons, ready for departure.

The people of the Golden Pansy Domain wielded force, several caravan guards were beaten directly after a few sarcastic complaints by those Muscle Bully brawny men.

If Eleanor hadn’t intervened in time, they might have been beaten to the point of despondency.

But when Lin Rui emerged, everyone immediately put away their grudges, faces filled with smiles... Well, at least pretending to smile broadly.

This outwardly sunny and graceful young man was an unparalleled power shaking the heavens with a mere raise of his hand, decisively slaughtering, leaving none alive. No one dared to irritate him.

Lu Weite, the director of Lusen Chamber of Commerce, came up personally, saying: "Master Lin Rui, I’ve already prepared the finest delicacies for you, not only delicious but warming after consumption, accelerating Life Recovery Speed. Though you might not need it, someone as mighty as you wouldn’t get hurt at all."

Lin Rui replied with a smile: "That’s perfect, I have cherished Wood Elf Fruit Wine here, let’s have a drink together."

Wood Elf Fruit Wine also boosts Life Value Recovery Speed, indeed Lin Rui needed life recovery. After all, yesterday, when slaying that Ogre, he drained blood to unleash a skill. He didn’t want to bind his waist, his Life Value slowly recovering; some fine food and wine, warming up felt incredibly fitting.

Lu Weite immediately said: "That’s marvelous, a feast coupled with fine wine will surely make for a wonderful dinner."
