Chapter 427: Chapter 427

Walking from the Blacksmith Shop into the Armory is a completely different style.

Here, there is none of the heat and clamor of the Blacksmith Shop, only the cold, efficient heavy industrial metal vibe. The atmosphere is very quiet, only the modifications of Master of Armaments Burton emit a faint blue light.

However, contrary to Burton’s silent and stable demeanor, his modifications are earth-shattering.

Just as Lin Rui entered and finally found a place to stand, he was greeted by a thunderous explosion, with various debris flying at him from all directions.

Lin Rui immediately extended his right hand, and a crystalline spiritual shield appeared in front of him, deflecting all the debris to the sides.

As Lin Rui continued to use the spiritual shield, its tier had already surpassed level 10, even undergoing a small qualitative change.

[Tier One Spirit Skill: Jade Ice lv10: Condenses Clear Spirit Water into a shield to protect a target. With increasing mastery, the spiritual shield is no longer confined to a fixed evenly stress-bearing shape and can be constructed to block in any desired direction. Provides a target with a 1000+(1+2.47)*180 point spiritual shield, can consume additional spiritual energy to enhance defense in one direction, blocking an extra 3.47*10*n points of damage, and permanently blocks 10% of damage while reflecting 5% of spiritual attacks. Reduces opponent’s attack speed and movement speed by 20% in melee. If the shield breaks or is triggered early, it converts into a high healing effect, restoring the target’s 450+(1+2.47)*180 points of life value. Consumes 50+n spiritual energy value, cooldown 5 seconds]

At this level, the strength of the spiritual shield constructed by Jade Ice has truly risen, with an extremely high cost performance, no longer like before where life value was maintained by expending spiritual energy value. Now, only a portion of spiritual energy value is needed to construct an extremely strong, solid shield.

Finally, there was a hint of a grand master’s demeanor; with a single gesture, the crafted shield remained unbreakable despite opponents exhausting their arms trying to cut through it.

Of course, this also depends on the amount of spiritual energy infused. Lin Rui injected a thousand spiritual energy value, with the blocked damage value being over thirty thousand, making the current debris storm incapable of affecting him at all.

As the debris gradually subsided, a cautious voice of a Woodland Fairy came from outside: "Master Burton, are you okay? Do you need us to heal you and restore some spiritual energy?"

This has become routine for the Woodland Fairies in the territory, even becoming part of their daily schedule.

Upon hearing the explosion, they know it’s time to come over and replenish spiritual energy for the Master of Armaments.

Sure enough, a moment later, a coughing sound came from beneath the debris: "My physical state is great. Just replenish some of my spiritual energy."

Immediately, an arm reached out from under the pile of debris, and then Master of Armaments Burton, covered in dust, pulled himself out.

Two Woodland Fairies flew in, cautiously traversing the pile of debris to get close to him and said, "Master Burton, perhaps you should apply to the Lord for a batch of recovery potions. Your rate of spiritual energy consumption is getting faster and faster lately. Even when we take turns, it’s hard to keep up with you. Moreover, there are many other professionals in the territory who need us to supplement their spiritual energy."

Burton was wearing a fully armed heavy mecha, not only was the mecha heavy, but it also had the (Un)stable Psychic Position Shield he created, capable of blocking substantial explosion damage.

However, even so, his hands covered in thick iron armor were still bleeding profusely.

One of the Woodland Fairies couldn’t bear it and used her precious spiritual energy to help him recover from his injuries.

Burton regretfully said, "Little one, you shouldn’t waste such precious spiritual energy. My strong physique can quickly restore full life value on its own. But without enough spiritual energy value, my forging speed will drop significantly."

At this moment, Lin Rui, with a storm of metal remnants sweeping around him, cleared a clean area, then walked out from the pile of debris with composure and looked towards Burton who was recovering while sitting on the junk pile, frowning.

"Burton, isn’t our territory supposed to be exceedingly wealthy? How did you end up in such a state?"

Burton turned his head in surprise to look at Lin Rui: "Lord, when did you arrive."

"Before your explosion. But first, let’s talk about what’s going on with your condition?"

Burton quickly stood up and replied: "It’s mainly because there are no priests available in the territory to actively heal. So state recovery is a bit troublesome."

"What about the Life Sacrifice Yvette?"

"Miss Yvette has recently been following Lord Terion in battle outside." Follow current novels on novel•fire.net

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, Terion, a priest hero, the army already had a lot of combat priestesses with them, and yet they also needed the Life Sacrifice for massive life recovery?

"Has Terion’s campaign been very difficult lately?"

A few Woodland Fairies spoke up voluntarily: "Yes, every time Lord Terion returns, the condition of the troops is extremely dire, the worst being when many were left with barely a sliver of health, their life bars a deep crimson."

"Indeed, I went to see it myself. Underneath the Jilun Tower, densely packed with blood-soaked wounded soldiers, relying on the passive effects beneath Jilun Tower to slowly restore life value. Blood and exposed intestines were everywhere, it scared me so much that I couldn’t sleep for several nights."

Lin Rui’s eyes flashed with killing intent instantly and asked, "What’s going on? Where is the enemy coming from?"

The Woodland Fairies looked at each other, being timid and fragile, how could Lord Terion confide battle matters with them?

Burton spoke at this time: "I do know a little. Lord Terion came to ask me if weapons could be made to suppress enemy life recovery. It seems that a powerful wild force has emerged near the territory recently, and the battles have been very intense."
