CHAPTER 529: CHAPTER 255: RECRUITING HOLY GRAIL KNIGHTS FROM FOUR DIRECTIONS

Upon hearing Audrey’s description, Caroline blushed instantly.

It’s not that she wants to blush; it’s really hard not to let her imagination run wild. After all, while she was waiting for Lin Rui to finish freshening up, Lin Rui was freshening up, and Su Xi had obviously just finished the process.

With this reality in front of her, how could she not let her imagination run wild? This female hero in front of her is also the Lord’s lover.

Seeing her flushed cheeks, Lin Rui knew she started having wild thoughts, waved her away, and said, "Hurry up and build the Miracle Building [Divine Ancient Dragon Library]. This is your final task, and you must complete it at any cost before the Plane War."

"Oh, oh, okay." Caroline nodded quickly, then whispered, "Lord, Kidd is quite a rare talent, please... give it some more thought."

Lin Rui nodded perfunctorily. But this matter? Not a chance!

To recruit him would be to invite trouble!

If he were let loose on the territory, he’d run rampant and turn it into a breeding ground.

With so many beauties in the territory, he could exploit them all and form a harem group.

Moreover, the territory has a light Seductive Torture Corrosion effect; even the Griffin’s breeding has a reward mechanism, which they enjoy.

Aunt Shirley, such a contestant, when meeting the sweet-talking Minstrel, would surely throw herself at him voluntarily.

Never underestimate the power of Epic Charm Element abilities.

Yuyu is the most vivid example. She can be lazy enough to forget prayer vows yet still maintain her position as a Goddess Priestess because of her Tier Five Epic Charm abilities.

Even if she does nothing and says nothing, a large crowd of men and women would still worship her feverishly, convert to her faith fanatically.

These Fanatics would even willingly sacrifice their lives for her.

A mere beckon from her, and those willing to sacrifice would line up from the Goddess Hall all the way to Dragonbone Plain.

Thus, imagination runs with Kidd’s abilities, afraid it’s also extremely strange. Leaving him in the territory, all of Lin Rui’s pure and innocent cabbages would be gobbled up.

Caroline clearly underestimated the hearing of the Extraordinary, what she called whispering was crystal clear to Kidd’s ears.

So Kidd quickly jumped out, thumped his chest, and said, "Yes, yes. Lord Lin Rui, I am indeed a rare talent. I have the [Human Glory] Trait, and as long as I sing grand tales, no matter how extravagant, humanity would believe. The effects of my boasts, even if doubled, others would think it’s perfectly reasonable. Do you know what this means?"

"..."

Lin Rui completely ignored him, turned to Audrey, and asked, "What exactly is that item you mentioned?"

"[Forest Melody]! I thought you would have guessed it. It’s a flute, you can blow it, and it can be used on oneself."

"Hey! Are you two even listening to me?"

[Forest Melody: One-time use item. Upon use, receive the blessing of nature, enter a state of ethereal beauty, increasing Root Bone by 50%, lasting 24 hours.]

Lin Rui’s face showed delight; he had only acquired this item twice before.

Despite its fancy description, with all its blessings and ethereal beauty.

In fact, it can be summarized in one sentence [Upon use, promotion tier +1].

Audrey’s guaranteed promotion item has found a home, allowing her to promote to epic level!

And Violet could ascend to Legendary-level.

The territory will have one more Legendary Hero, and a Knight Legendary Hero at that!

She ascended from Lord-level to Holy Grail Knight epic-level; now she’ll leap over the Legendary-level threshold.

Once her promotion completes, the territory will have one Tier Five epic-level hero and one Tier Five Legendary-level hero.

Legendary-level!

Defeating such a hero rewards unique strategic traits.

The last time Lin Rui defeated the Legendary-level Karnak, both he and Hanna gained unique traits.

Hanna’s trait can enlarge her subordinates’ size by 150%, increase attack speed, critical hits, and various attributes.

It left Lin Rui in awe for quite some time.

Lin Rui glanced at his acquired Strategic Commander Trait, [Wild Whip: Whether it’s his One-Eyed or the fury twisted in his heart, none can secure him victory; the empire’s glory is eternal. Human soldiers’ overall physical defense +18%, Command Value cost reduction -20% when commanding human soldiers, +15% melee physical attack power, +8% ranged physical attack power against evil chaotic units].

One wonders what will be gained from defeating Violet and Galo?

Evil thoughts stirred: should he try exploiting bugs to defeat those two heroes?

But that’s devilishly wicked; Lin Rui resolutely erased such Demon thoughts, turning to Audrey and asked, "How many [Forest Melody] are there?"

"Quite a bit. I haven’t counted carefully; at least there’s three, four, maybe five or six?"

That’s quite a range, Lin Rui thought for a moment, then said, "You along with Violet and Terion each use one; promote quickly. Send the rest to me."

"Got it." Audrey replied happily.

They haven’t reached Super-Tier yet, so advancing from Tier Four to Tier Five, just beating some Mirror Image would suffice. Tasks can be completed in minutes.

Seeing her underlings amounting to tens of thousands in the Undead Legion, the Mirror Image would probably be scared enough to turn tail and run.

The only pity is that this item solely increases Root Bone, and once Terion uses it, only his individual combat strength gets a little boost, with limited improvement in Command Ability.

Lin Rui had long wanted to comprehensively enhance the strength of this hardworking hero.
