The sudden appearance of the dialogue box made Shen Mu's expression freeze slightly.
But he didn't show any extra emotions.
"Hmm, very good magical power. I hope Miss Liu Na can become an excellent Druid in my territory from now on."
Shen Mu was still praising Liu Na.
"Th-thank you!" When Liu Na heard the praise, her small face turned even redder, so red that her earlobes seemed to be dripping blood.
Seeing this, Shen Mu also smiled and didn't say much more to this shy yet promising girl of the same age.
Instead, he simply gave a few instructions to Polo, the Halfling Elder who was in actual leadership, regarding the care of the Wheat Field and the maintenance of the Stronghold Buildings that had also been completed on the remaining half of the sixth floor, such as the Storage Room, Granary, and Livestock Pen. After that, he returned to the Castle Hall with the Swadian Footmen.
Right now, upgrading his Character Template was more important.
"Because of the Druid power Liu Na used, it attracted a response from the fantasy Mount & Blade: Pendor World."
Shen Mu sat on the Lord's stone chair in the Castle Hall, thinking.
His mood was a little agitated.
Immediately, he communicated with the system: "Start Character Template upgrade!"
Ding! You are starting the Character Template upgrade! Due to the special rules you have obtained and the special response from the 'Will of Nature'... Congratulations! You have obtained a new Character Template— Sacred Tree Cavalry Character Template! This cavalry template originates from Mount & Blade Pendor World G Version, a powerful cavalry blessed and protected by the sacred White Oak Tree. Under the shade of the White Oak Tree, they diligently trained their horsemanship and combat skills, thus being able to spread the glory of the White Oak Tree throughout the chaotic Pendor World. Hint: This Character Template has combined the power of 'Will of Nature (Fragment)', and you will be healthy and strong. Hint: If you can obtain the seed of the 'White Oak Tree', perhaps the 'Will of Nature (Fragment)' within you will be more pleased, and its blessings upon you will be more generous.
A new dialogue box immediately appeared before Shen Mu's eyes.
And on his brow.
Buzz!
Streams of data surged out, directly enveloping his entire body.
"Hmm." During this process, Shen Mu felt as if a special change was quietly emerging throughout his body.
It brought an extreme sense of refreshment.
Buzz!
The white light formed by the data streams became more intense, washing over his entire body like waves.
At the same time, it perfectly instilled countless combat techniques that the Sacred Tree Cavalry had learned from their arduous training and battlefield combat from childhood into Shen Mu's mind.
And while being instilled, within this white light that resembled an egg, there was a faint, almost imperceptible green light spot that was also being washed out by the streams of white light formed by the data flow.
It was as if a temporary lodger, a vagrant staying at someone else's house, was discovered when the owner cleaned the room and was forced to leave.
Buzz!
But before that faint green light spot could leave the white light for even a microsecond.
Countless fragmented data streams instantly surged out.
Like tentacles, they completely wrapped around the faint green light spot, and then little by little, forcefully, as if impatiently, pulled it back into the white light formed by the countless data streams, fixing it at Shen Mu's chest.
Buzz!
And then it bloomed with even more brilliant green light!
And at this moment, more data streams began to spread out, extending around Shen Mu, as if simulating something.
When the white light dissipated.
The data streams returned to Shen Mu's brow.
Shen Mu, who was immersed in that refreshing feeling, slowly opened his eyes at this moment and felt his changes.
"Prophesy of Pendor G Version, Sacred Tree Faction's Sacred Tree Cavalry."
A thoughtful look appeared in Shen Mu's eyes.
He slowly lowered his head.
He found that the equipment he was wearing had also undergone a complete change.
From the cotton robe and Chainmail worn by the Swadian Footman, it had directly changed to a Velvet Robe and Sacred Tree Heavy Chainmail, which had more tightly arranged iron rings and could be called a strengthened version of three layers of Chainmail.
His left arm was covered with a Sacred Tree Fan Shield made of high-quality oak, with iron plates wrapped around the edges and shield surface.
In his right hand, he held a Sacred Tree Spear about 4 meters long, with iron plates wrapped around the front section for about 1 meter.
At his waist, there was also a Sacred Tree Cavalry Sword forged from fine iron.
Coupled with the Sacred Tree Helmet on his head that shone like silver, the silver-shining Heavy Chainmail and Chainmail Boots, and the Chainmail Gloves on his hands, everything indicated that the Sacred Tree Cavalry Shen Mu had now obtained, this Tier 4 unit from Prophesy of Pendor, possessed the most top-tier equipment available!
Neigh!
Just as Shen Mu was looking down at the changes in his equipment, a large head nudged him from the side.
Shen Mu turned his head to see a strong, pure white horse!
On its back was a similarly white, excellent saddle.
It didn't have a single stray hair on its body.
It stood beside Shen Mu, who was also gleaming silver all over, shaking its large head and rubbing against his arm as if they were close.
"Good boy." Shen Mu, with a sense of understanding, took off his chainmail gloves and stroked the high-quality Sacred Tree Warhorse, which felt incredibly close and familiar in his mind due to the infusion from the Mount & Blade System. He felt its smooth skin and mane, and the smile on his lips widened.
Because when he came back to his senses, he found that not only had his fighting skills greatly increased.
His riding skills and fighting techniques while riding.
Were also deeply ingrained in his heart!
Ding! You have completed the upgrade of a fantasy-side character unit! Congratulations! Because of the gift from the 'Will of Nature (Fragment)' during your character upgrade, you have gained a special skill condensed from the power of nature - 'Healing Spell'! Healing Spell (Level 2 Nature Spell): Because you have received the special blessing and attention of the 'Will of Nature', you can cast the Healing Spell 3 times per day without cost. This spell can restore 30% of consumed stamina and spirit. If you receive more blessings from the Will of Nature, the effect and number of casts will increase.
The dialogue box popped up in front of Shen Mu again.
"Skill, Healing Spell."
Shen Mu subconsciously covered his chest, feeling a special coolness spreading within his vigorously beating heart. It filled his entire body with each heartbeat, and he thought thoughtfully:
"Is this the so-called Will of Nature, the nature spell it bestowed upon me?"
Shen Mu could clearly sense that if he wanted to, he could directly use the coolness in his chest.
It would turn into a skill.
And then a nature spell that produced a healing effect!
"Hoo—"
Shen Mu gently exhaled a breath.
He also slightly moved his body, which was clad in the heavy chainmail set, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes:
"Wearing this set of equipment doesn't feel heavy at all; instead, I feel quite at ease. It's truly amazing."
This set of Sacred Tree faction equipment was heavier and more numerous than the Swadian Heavy Cavalry's equipment.
Yet, he felt nothing.
He knew it was the blessing of the Will of Nature that had played an absolute role.
Shen Mu's mood became even happier.
So he communicated with the system.
"Since I have time now, I'll open the remaining two Silver Tier Treasure Chests."
Then, in front of Shen Mu, the dialogue box appeared.
Ding! You have opened 2 'Silver Tier Treasure Chests'. Congratulations! You have obtained— ① Breeze from Suno Plain (Rule). Description: This is a breeze originating from the Mount & Blade: Warband World. It appears for 5 minutes every 30 minutes, making people feel refreshed and their spirits fully soothed. Effect: The breeze enhances mental resilience and adds +3 basic morale when it blows. ② 5000 Denars.
"...This." Shen Mu stared blankly at the rewards from the two Silver Tier Treasure Chests that had appeared.
But the corners of his mouth slightly curled up:
"A breeze that can increase morale by three points, and it appears every so often each day."
Doesn't that mean that every so often, about every 30 minutes, there will be a 5-minute morale boost of 3 points?
And there were also 5000 Denars.
Just in time.
Shen Mu was currently worried about not having enough money to upgrade the soldiers who urgently needed upgrading!
"Lord Shen Mu."
Just as Shen Mu was in a good mood, a report came from beside the Lord's stone stool.
A Swadian Footman walked over, respectfully clenched his fist and struck his chest as he reported:
"Our current drinking water has all been used up. The farmers in the kitchen hope I can convey this bad news to you."
"Hmm?" Shen Mu opened his eyes and looked at the Swadian Footman: "Drinking water, all used up?"
But before the Swadian Footman could answer, he also estimated the recent consumption in his mind, pursed his lips, and felt a bit helpless:
"Indeed, the drinking water I stored before is all gone now, and that's even with us being frugal."
