Nord Shadow Scout Class Change Scroll

The rewards for killing monsters were quite good.

They often dropped decent equipment and items.

It was a pity that no more soldier recruitment scrolls had dropped.

Zong Shen took stock of the rewards.

While he began to ponder.

It seems that once my subordinates form a sizable force, I can organize night hunts!

At night, this situation where beasts are restless is a danger! But it is also an opportunity!

Before going to sleep yesterday, he had already discovered in the chat channel that almost everyone on the [World Channel] had encountered the situation of ten thousand beasts stirring.

It was as if the system had specifically set up this obstacle to prevent lords from exploring at night and to limit the development time of the lords.

Obviously, it was impossible for the entire continent to be experiencing the same restlessness of beasts.

However, this was also a good opportunity to go out hunting and obtain rewards and food.

As the strength of the lords increased, the night would no longer be able to stop their exploration.

Zong Shen had to seize the initiative and obtain as many benefits as possible before the situation changed.

He casually took out a wooden bucket, turned it upside down on the ground to use as a chair, and sat down on it.

As time entered the second half of the night, the restlessness outside the territory gradually began to subside.

Zong Shen began to examine the previous rewards.

[Tough Wolf Skin Armor]

[Quality: Common]

[Body Defense: 21]

[Durability: 90]

[Strength Requirement: 6]

(A decent wolf skin armor, common quality, but with good defensive effects)

It was a very good piece of upper-body equipment, much better than the leather short-sleeve shirt.

Zong Shen equipped it immediately.

[Stiff Short Bow]

[Quality: Common]

[Piercing Damage: 23]

[Accuracy: 91]

[Requires Power Draw: 1]

[Requires Agility: 4]

(A basic bow; unfortunately, your Power Draw skill is insufficient.)

Zong Shen had been wanting to keep a bow weapon on hand so that he could use the [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow] when necessary.

However, it was a pity that his [Power Draw] skill was still at 0, failing to meet the equipment's requirements.

Putting the short bow away, he began to check the last two special rewards.

As for the animal hides and bones, Zong Shen had no interest in examining them, as the prompts indicated most could serve as raw materials for equipment or weapons.

Once the [Tier 1 Blacksmith Shop] and [Tier 1 Tailor Shop] were completed, he might be able to put them to use.

Alternatively, they could be listed as raw materials on the market.

However, a Tier 1 [Market] only had three listing slots, so he still needed to focus on selling Moon Spring Water to scrape wealth from other lords.

[Primary Elemental Crystal]

[A crystal containing elemental power]

[Ten Primary Elemental Crystals can be synthesized into one Intermediate Elemental Crystal]

[Can be used to construct elemental buildings or forge elemental weapons and armor]

(One of the most important resources; a hard currency in the mid-to-late game.)

Zong Shen currently had two of these [Primary Elemental Crystal]s.

One was scavenged from the supply tent at the Bandit Camp.

The other was dropped by a beast tonight.

Next, only the final special item remained.

It was also the item Zong Shen was most interested in.

[Nord Shadow Scout Class Change Scroll (Green)]

[A scout who walks in the shadows, possessing powerful stealth, tracking, and reconnaissance abilities; they are the shadow guards of the Nord Kingdom.]

[The Class Change Scroll can be used by any basic humanoid unit that is not a lord.]

[Upon successful use, the corresponding attributes will be increased, and relevant skills and experience will be mastered.]

(Congratulations, the Shadow Scout can provide great assistance in exploring the wilderness and expanding your territory; at the very least, his stealth skills are far superior to those of the Wolf Cavalry.)

Being a scout is a tough job.

It is also the eyes of the entire territory for outward exploration.

Colby and Luna are already well-trained warriors and are not suitable for changing into other classes; even if they did, the gains and improvements would be extremely limited.

The eleven farmers under his command are, on the contrary, the best candidates for a class change.

They are like blank slates with the potential to be cultivated.

However, who should be chosen?

The farmers with the best aptitude are San Pang and the other seven farmers who joined later.

Unfortunately, the loyalty of these later-joined farmers is generally not very high.

If he were to bestow the Class Change Scroll upon them in a rush, no one would know what might happen.

Loyalty in the 60s can only be considered as having just crossed the passing line.

By comparison, the three original farmers are the most reliable.

Among them, the one with the best aptitude is Tie Zhu.

Ordinary aptitude.

Although it cannot compare to excellent aptitude, it is considered standard and steady.

As for the excellent talent San Pang, it is not too late to cultivate him after his loyalty has increased.

Zong Shen pondered for a moment and decided to use this Class Change Scroll on Tie Zhu.

He went to the thatched shed where Tie Zhu was resting and gently patted him awake.

"Lo... Lord..."

"Does the Lord have any instructions?"

Tie Zhu rubbed his eyes, and upon seeing that it was Zong Shen, he hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Zong Shen beckoned to him.

"Follow me outside."

Tie Zhu heard this, carefully stepped over the farmers beside him, walked out of the thatched shed, and arrived at the open space.

Zong Shen held the class transfer scroll, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"In view of your performance, I will bestow power upon you."

"From now on, you shall become a scout walking in the shadows, the shadow that guards the territory."

"Are you willing?"

Tie Zhu saw the class transfer scroll and was instantly stirred with excitement.

He hurriedly knelt down before Zong Shen.

"I am willing to die for the lord!"

Zong Shen nodded.

"Very good!"

As soon as the words fell, he decisively activated the class transfer scroll.

A green light emerged from Tie Zhu's body.

His appearance also underwent a change.

That gray hempen garment transformed into a black tight-fitting suit, and he wore a black leather cap and a peculiar pair of goggles on his head.

On both sides of his waist, a pitch-black, sharp dagger was buckled.

His entire temperament changed, appearing very spirited.

Especially those eyes, which were as sharp and piercing as a falcon's.

He kowtowed once more!

"Tie Zhu will surely follow Lord Lord to the death!"

[Due to the power you bestowed]

[Tie Zhu's loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 98]

Zong Shen revealed a gratified smile like an old father and began to check Tie Zhu's attributes.
