Chapter 384: Chapter 384

As a Legendary-level sealing artifact, this [Revelation: Seventh Seal] can not only seal seven demons, but also seal a large amount of wealth within its seven layers of seals.

Black Domain Castle, being one of the most significant wealth strongholds of the Templar Order, is naturally piled high with abundant resources.

Lin Rui reviewed the supplies organized by Hanna, starting with the high-tier resources most emphasized by the domain: [Gems*450,000], [Crystal 400,000], [Vibranium 1,380,000], [Mithril 675,000]. Follow current novels on novｅlfire.net

For a long time to come, the domain will not need to worry about high-tier materials.

Next, to Lin Rui’s surprise, was a significant acquisition: [Territorial Essence*37], [Territorial Essence (Small)*3].

These territorial essences, adding up, are close to a hundred pieces!

Lin Rui couldn’t help but be moved, once more looking at those small words behind the territorial essences. [War breeds civilization, destruction gives rise to vitality. No civilization can be vast, with magnificent landscapes, mild climate, abundant resources, a large population, and a long history without going through war and expansion.]

It can be said that with so many territorial essences, the Golden Pansy Domain has accumulated at once enough wealth to upgrade to an intermediate town or even a large town.

War breeds civilization, this is no empty phrase.

Lin Rui carefully put away all the territorial essences and then turned his attention to other wealth.

Following the territorial essences were the foundational resources supporting the domain. The Templar Order, unlike the Tyrannosaurus, did not hoard billions of timber. Their foundational materials were mainly food and iron ore.

Among them, 21 million units of food and 12 million units of iron ore.

Honestly, Lin Rui was truly grateful for the appearance of this [Revelation: Seventh Seal], as it resolved his urgent needs.

Otherwise, figuring out how to move the over 20 million units of food and over 10 million units of iron ore would be a major hassle.

Now, placing them all in a Legendary-level sealing artifact, aside from being inconvenient to access, is much more manageable.

Beside the over 20 million units of food, there were also over 487,000 units of Essence Spirit Grain sealed away!

Such a large quantity of high-quality Essence Spirit Grain, if converted into precious-grade food, could even increase each soldier’s Physique Value by 2-4 points.

Lin Rui immediately searched through the Templar Order’s other wealth and indeed found a dozen or so recipes, among which three were particularly noteworthy.

[Magical Beast Meat Mint Roll: A perfect balance is reached between magical beast meat and fine mint, tender without toughness, fragrant without bitterness. A vivid hint of spice awakens this peaceful harmony, leaping around in the mouth and ending with a perfect exclamation. Resilience permanently +1% (no cumulative effect from multiple consumptions)]

[Templar Knight’s Roasted Meat: The most renowned military dish of the Templar Order, known for its thickness, large portions, and rich sauce. Consumption boosts Physical Attack Power by +10% and Life Value Recovery Speed by +15% for 12 hours.]

[Northern Bear Meat Banquet: Vegetables paired with smoked bear meat. The perfect taste allows for entertaining a king with confidence. Consuming before Tier Three increases Physique by +1, with diminishing effects from multiple consumptions.]

These three recipes all significantly enhance the strength of the domain’s army.

With a large amount of resources at hand, Lin Rui planned to offer sacrifices and enhance them several times after returning to the domain, further amplifying their effects.

Even the most ordinary [Templar Knight’s Roasted Meat] can greatly strengthen the soldiers’ Attack Power and Life Value Recovery Speed.

Its duration limit is almost negligible for Lin Rui.

After all, with a basic duration of twelve hours, enhancements could extend it to 16, 18, or even 24 hours. This means that with a full meal, soldiers can maintain this effect throughout the day.

As long as the territorial soldiers maintain three meals a day, this effect will persist indefinitely.

After carefully setting aside these three recipes, Hanna spoke beside him: "There is a large amount of basic building plans for the Templar Order inside, castles, barracks, stables, warehouses, blacksmith shops, shooting ranges, towers, training grounds, and more. Not highly valuable, but vast in quantity. I suggest selling them all."

Lin Rui nodded, as he also noticed hundreds of building plans inside the seal, many of which were duplicates.

As basic building plans, the domain already has alternative constructions, and these plans can only serve as wealth stored in the Golden Pansy Domain’s warehouse.

Lin Rui laughed and said: "I didn’t expect that our domain would accumulate such deep roots so quickly. If other Explorers saw these abundant building plans in our domain’s warehouse, they would surely marvel for a while."

Hanna covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Then the Lord can sell these plans to the Lords of the Feudal Domain, or distribute a hundred or so according to contributions."

"A good suggestion," Lin Rui praised, then asked, "Any noteworthy plans?"

"I just checked. The Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Tower among the basic building plans is quite good."

[Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Tower: The towering arrow tower of the domain is a symbol of strict defense, capable of launching a six-meter-long dragon-hunting crossbow within a 3,000-meter range, inflicting 3,000 Physical Damage on targets. Attack Speed is 10 rounds/minute. Construction costs include 100 Spirit Crystal Coins, 5,000 timber, 2,000 stone ore, 2,000 iron ore. Six artisans take 6 hours.]

"Indeed, it is good." Lin Rui’s lips curled up after reading the arrow tower’s attributes.

How could it be that with the wealth of the Golden Pansy Domain, three to four thousand Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Towers wouldn’t rise up?

Building one of these around every twenty meters on the city wall is a must!

Taking it a step further, Lin Rui even plans to equip every building with one Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Tower.

Lin Rui checked the tower’s design, noting it was made of stone and wood, and aesthetically acceptable.

If enhanced a few times, it would also be more architecturally appealing, as if it was a benefit distributed by the Lord, adding a decorative tower to every building and house.

In this world, towers and clock tower-like buildings are countless in major towns, and this style in the Golden Pansy Domain would not stand out.

The only difference is that while towers in other cities are decorative art buildings, the towers in the Golden Pansy Domain would transform into thousands of arrow towers during a foreign invasion, shooting six to seven meters long dragon-hunting crossbows.

Honestly, even a Giant Dragon flying over the Golden Pansy Domain would be turned into a sieve by this dense defensive barrage.

The only dissatisfaction Lin Rui had was the low Attack Power, as 3,000 Physical Damage would be inadequate when facing High-tier Units.

After all, the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain generally have several thousand points of Physical Defense.

Hence, Lin Rui plans to focus on enhancing this plan to at least achieve where a single dragon-hunting crossbow can pin an enemy soldier to the ground.
