Treasure Chest Rewards
Actually, for a necromancer, forming a Knight Order isn't that difficult.
As long as you don't use Death Knight, and you're not worried about problems like being difficult to control, low morale, or your subordinates rebelling, you can recruit other knights by spending some money.
You can't recruit proper knights, but you can recruit Orc Wolf Cavalry, Goblin Boar Cavalry, and Elf Pegasus Cavalry.
However, with these troops surrounded by the undead, their morale plummeted like a torrent, making it impossible to raise their spirits.
Therefore, few necromancers choose to do such futile work.
Therefore, Puppet that are not affected by morale become the first choice for necromancers to establish Knight Order.
This is similar to the Gargoyle under Gu Xi's command, which belong to this type of unit.
But here comes a new problem: controlling the Mechanical Puppet requires the necromancer to study mechanics or engineering.
In this game, a necromancer is definitely no match for a professional Puppet Master.
Therefore, some half-dead knights appeared before the necromancer.
The idea is good, but there are already few necromancers who can research the art of being half-alive and half-dead, and even fewer who specifically target Death Knight.
By then, players who study necromancy might have already explored all sorts of creative possibilities.
Those creatures wielding large scythes and looking like the Grim Reaper are no less powerful than Death Knight, and sometimes they can even kill with a single blow.
As a result, naturally no one was willing to build a temple to train knights.
Over time, some players became unaware that this method existed.
Gu Xi only realized he had encountered something good after seeing the Crimson Temple.
Even if he quits this instance now, he'll still have made a profit.
Putting away the [Crimson Temple Design Blueprint], Gu Xi tried to calm himself down before carefully reading through them.
Besides the blueprint, the Warrior's Chest also contained two other items.
You have received Fiefdom Token (green) *1
You have received 3 Soldier Recruitment Ticket (Level 7)
[Fiefdom Token (Green): Grants the right to claim one land parcel at a designated location. The parcel size can be one large parcel, two Medium Plot, or two small parcels.]
[Soldier Recruitment Ticket (Level 7): Grants one soldier recruitment qualification in your own, neutral, or friendly town, directly recruiting 10 Level 7 soldiers from the current town.]
Looking at the Warrior's Treasure Chest, Gu Xi couldn't help but smile. The appearance of the Fiefdom Token solved the problem of insufficient open space in Gu Xi's territory.
Furthermore, the Soldier Recruitment Ticket allow Gu Xi to quickly replenish high-level troops. If the Crimson Temple could be built now, Gu Xi would definitely be thinking of building the Crimson Temple and then using all the Soldier Recruitment Ticket on the Bloody Knight.
In addition to the treasure chest, Gu Xi also received a blue treasure as a reward for this battle at the Warrior's Tomb.
In this game, treasures and equipment are completely different things.
Equipment is used to enhance a player's strength, while treasures are used to enhance the strength of a player's troops or city.
Treasures often seem insignificant, but they can play a significant role in battles or games.
It can be said that good blue-quality items are more valuable than Purple Equipment in the eyes of some players.
When Gu Xi took out the blue treasure, his hand felt a sudden weight; a heavy bow made entirely of metal with two strings appeared in Gu Xi hand.
[Iron Arm King's Bow (Blue Treasure): When equipped, it occupies a ranged weapon slot, increases the maximum damage of allied ranged units by 5, cannot be equipped by magic Hero, and allows all creatures under their command to fire an extra shot.]
With just one glance, Gu Xi knew what the bow was for: it was designed for archer-type players.
Putting aside everything else, the fact that all ranged units can fire an extra shot is a huge change for the battlefield.
An ordinary rain of arrows will instantly turn into a double rain of arrows.
The power of concentrated fire attacks is doubled.
Adding a marksman Hero can even turn enemies over when they charge in.
Unfortunately, none of the three Hero Gu Xi had just acquired were marksmen.
For the time being, I can only Gu Xi this bow with me.
With a backhand sling of the Iron Arm King's Bow over his shoulder, Gu Xi then collected 5,000 points of Negative Energy.
When everything was taken away, the water that had been blocked by the water curtain began to flow into the cleared space.
Gu Xi disregarded everything else and stood atop the Evil Coffin, quickly directing his undead subordinates to retreat back into the City Gate.
As the water level rose rapidly, Gu Xi noticed that the stone coffin of the Flower of the North seemed to have moved slightly under the impact of the water flow.
This immediately caught Gu Xi's attention, since the stone coffin was embedded in the ground.
Without much thought, Gu Xi controlled the Evil Coffin and arrived in front of the stone coffin.
The water was already above his knees, but Gu Xi ignored it and quickly began searching around the stone coffin.
Gu Xi quickly read out the name engraved on the stone coffin.
'Svetlana'
As the name was uttered, the stone coffin in front of them suddenly moved back a step.
A downward passage was revealed, and at the same time, many water outlets appeared in the underground mausoleum. The river water that was poured in flowed out through the outlets and did not rise any further.
Looking at the passage in front of him, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally knocked on the Evil Coffin and went down the passage.
Gu Xi guessed that the stone coffin in the mausoleum might be a cover for the outside world. The mausoleum of the Flower of the North, or rather, the Grand Princess Svetlana, should be located underground.
Although we don't know whether the stone coffin was moved intentionally or unintentionally, it's always good to go down and see for ourselves.
However, Gu Xi never expected that he would reach the end after only taking a few steps down.
Beneath the stone coffin was a small, empty room. Gu Xi held up the Mind Nether Lamp and strained to see for a long time, only to find that apart from the still damp walls, there was nothing else there.
No, that's not right either. On each of the four walls of this room, there is an apple sealed.
Gu Xi glanced at it and saw that the apples on the east wall were pure red, with smooth skin and relatively large size.
The apples on the south wall are golden; although they don't look edible, they are still eye-catching.
The apples on the west wall are half red and half green, and the green side seems to be poisonous.
The apple on the north wall is the most unique; all the others are embedded in the wall, but this apple looks as if it is not affected by gravity and is floating among the bricks.
Gu Xi had no idea what the four apples meant.
However, thinking about the mad Apple Tree in Westminster Abbey and the Apple Tree of the last king, Gu Xi felt that there seemed to be some different connection here.
Just then, Gu Xi heard a notification sound.
[You have found the core of the underground mausoleum, the Crown of the Sacred Tree. The hidden map will automatically open the next time the dungeon is restarted. The entrance to the hidden map will be located at the feet of the fallen paladin.]
