CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 71: KNIGHT KING VIOLET_2

If the decision is truly mistaken, it means Lin Rui’s massive resource investment yields little effect.

Injecting all these three hundred thousand resources into a single scroll could even potentially create a Heroic Spirit-level Knight!

With only the last three recruitment scrolls remaining, Lin Rui somberly continued to open them.

[Ding, Explorer used Recruitment Scroll Knight’s Heart, obtained Tier Two Elite Knight, Javin Monroe]

[Ding, Explorer used Recruitment Scroll Knight’s Heart, obtained Tier Two Rare Level Knight, Frederick Friedrich]

Still no change; the situation has proven that this method’s upper limit is locked.

After shopping in the marketplace, holding a stack of neatly folded clothes, Audrey stood by Lin Rui’s side, watching him transform from high spirits to feeling listless, finally turning heavy-hearted.

She gently came up to hold Lin Rui’s wrist and comfortingly said, "Lord, Rare Level soldiers are already very strong, and there are a full seven of them. Other territories could use three hundred thousand resources not to mention recruiting seven Rare Level Knights, even recruiting one would be a cause for celebration. Don’t be upset, let’s go back and rest, I’ll give you my body, allow you to indulge, and soothe your low spirits."

Lin Rui smiled softly and said, "I’m not upset, just confirming that this shortcut doesn’t work. The addition of the seven Rare Level Knights has caused the territory’s power to drastically exceed my expectations."

With that, Lin Rui tore open the final scroll.

It was still a plain glow, no different from before.

[Ding, Explorer used Recruitment Scroll Knight’s Heart, obtained Tier One Lord-level Knight, Violet Guinevere]

Everyone turning to leave instantly froze in their tracks.

The next moment, the dense mass of knights all simultaneously knelt on one knee, bowed their heads in respect: "Greetings Your Majesty."

"Never abuse power, never murder, never betray the crown, never be cruel. Show tolerance to those needing forgiveness, and compassion to those who cannot worship or submit! Always aid the ladies, maidens, and virtuous women, even if it costs one’s life. For the good of the people, brave knights only partake in just wars."

"I, the King of Knights, Violet, greet you, Lord."

Audrey was so shocked that her jaw hung open, the clothes in her arms fell to the ground, and she turned to look at the female knight emerging in the golden light.

Though the golden light was plain, the radiance she emanated seemed to illuminate the entire world.

Just like her oath, she is the light of human justice!

She wielded a golden-yellow two-handed sword, with soft snow-white skin, shoulder-length golden hair, and brilliant blue eyes, dressed in a jewel-blue court gown, exuding royal elegance and grandeur.

Yet beneath this noble aura, her appearance was rather fresh and delicate, with blue butterfly hair ribbons tying up her hair, looking sweet, beautiful, and gentle. Especially her slender and graceful exposed shoulders outside the gown.

Indeed, she appeared to be an under-aged maiden!

Violet said calmly, "Please do not mind my appearance, I have experienced cruel and lengthy years of war. Only because I drew the Sword of the King at seventeen does my appearance remain at that moment."

Lord-level!

Lin Rui was also shaken; who could imagine that such a frail and delicate maiden was an entire territory’s soldiers could match, boss-level monster.

During the enhancement process, other scrolls increased their tier power vertically, only the last scroll didn’t elevate the soldiers’ tier level but rather horizontally enhanced the soldiers’ Talent Level.

Then, under Lin Rui’s super luck, directly summoned this Knight King, Violet.

Lin Rui surprisedly asked, "Violet, how can you be a Tier One Knight and be recruited as Knight King?"

Violet’s eyes momentarily flickered with sorrow, then she looked straight at Lin Rui and stated calmly, "I once maintained ideals but was eventually betrayed by the world I once protected. All my subjects said their king’s body held only justice and no heart. So I sealed myself away to learn and observe other successful Lords to see what kind of heart they possessed."

Lin Rui’s face blossomed into a smile, thankful his heart was full of sunshine; otherwise, had Violet turned darkened from observation, the entire territory would be slaughtered?

Lin Rui joyfully said, "To have a normal heart, you should start by joyfully dining together with the people. Let’s go eat!"

"Dining together?" Violet wouldn’t object to that, silently following behind Lin Rui.

Meanwhile, Lin Rui took the opportunity to open the attribute panel of this territory’s most powerful soldier.

Lin Rui’s eyes twitched, feeling this knight was his natural nemesis.

Her Distant Ideal Homeland trait nullifies all magic below her tier within range.

Meaning Tier Zero and Tier One magic cannot harm her.

Lin Rui’s strongest attacks, Grip of Cyan Wave and frost aura, are directly unusable.

Even wielding a sword for close combat, she has the Sword of Oath and Victory trait, entering Sub-Invincible State, completely blocking thirteen attacks.

In a group melee encounter, she only grows stronger; if her sword hits different monsters, her Sword of Oath and Victory’s invincibility refreshes.

To defeat her, the best approach is a melee-specific invincibly strong man wielding a giant axe to strike her mercilessly.

The alternative is an overwhelming horde of monsters, continuously delivering dense attacks, shattering her invincibility the moment it’s refreshed.

The least satisfactory method would be like Lin Rui’s, burying her under a barrage of arrows.

But Lin Rui’s frost aura was evidently unusable anymore, thankfully he had new skills awaiting enhancement.
