"This is Shrine from Longwind Fortress. Why is it fused with a plant?" someone said in surprise.

People at Black Iron City opened their eyes wide, watching the Ancient Tree in front of them continue to grow. The light and leaves intertwined and rotated in the center of Shrine, and then slowly restrained themselves and sank into the depths of Shrine.

At this time, Vibration has stopped.

Zhou Qing stepped forward and entered the range of Shrine that merged with Ancient Tree.

"Buzz~"

A buzzing sound that seemed to echo directly at the soul level entered Zhou Qing's ears.

In his perception, there seemed to be a light cyan humanoid shadow standing in Shrine, looking at him quietly.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle and calm energy enveloped his body, gently calming the impetuous emotions in his heart.

This feeling of peace is like an adult suddenly turning around in confusion and seeing the beautiful scenery he saw when he was a teenager.

[Lord's Shrine]

[The special Shrine that maintains the tangible spiritual symbol of Shrine and incorporates the power of Lord can carry the spirit of Lord, independently absorb the power flowing in the air to maintain the brightness of the Shrine fruit, continue to emit life frequency fluctuations, and resist the erosion of Dark Matter within the scope of Shrine.]

[Note: The upgraded Shrine combines the abilities and personality of Lord. It has the uniqueness of the territory. If it leaves the territory, all Shrine powers will be lost.]

Looking at the detailed introduction about Lord's Shrine on the panel, Lincon has roughly understood the usage of this extra point upgrade.

The so-called Lord's Shrine is actually based on the original Shrine, it is bound to him at a deeper level, upgraded and strengthened in all aspects, and can lower the mental projection of Lincon over a long distance.

That's right, Zhou Qing is not dazzled, that cyan shadow is actually the projection of Lincon.

The projection itself has no power, it is just a ray of spiritual thought sent out by Lincon. In addition to making it easier for him to observe the surrounding environment of Shrine, its only function is to bluff people.

This may come in handy in some special circumstances. After all, Shrine is a product that is biased towards theology.

After roughly figuring out what changes had taken place on the panel after changing jobs, Lincon finally focused on professional abilities.

This is the highlight.

Rule Edict.

He can issue a law in his territory that lasts for one month and has actual effect.

But where is the upper limit of this law, and where is the lower limit? Lincon must understand this in order to make the most of this ability. After all, there is only one release opportunity per month.

"Black Tide will be here in a few days. Let's try it first to see if it can be used on this."

Lincon thought for a while and tried to formulate his first law.

"In the next thirty days, Longwind Fortress can survive Black Tide safely."

[The formulation of the law failed. At the current Lord level, the law cannot affect anything on the timeline.]

"No?" Lincon frowned. "It seems that the effect of the law is linked to Lord's level."

After thinking for a while, he changed his explanation.

"Reduce the occurrence of diseases and speed up the recovery of the injured."

[The legal order is drafted successfully. Are the effects of the legal order confirmed?]

Whether Lincon chooses it or not, he still needs to experiment a few more times so that Longwind Fortress can have a greater probability of surviving Black Tide in a few days.

[Failed to draft the law: The current Lord level cannot adjust the concentration of elements in the territory.]

[The law was drafted successfully: accelerate plant growth and increase agricultural output.]

[Failed to draft the law: The current Lord level cannot affect the length of daylight in the territory.]

[The law is drawn up successfully: the abilities of all dark creatures entering the territory are reduced by 20%.]

Finally, after dozens of selection experiments, Lincon determined the rules of Longwind Fortress for the next thirty days.

[Rule Edict]

[Effective immediately, the abilities of all dark creatures entering the territory are reduced by 20%.]

In an instant, the entire Longwind Fortress seemed to be enveloped by an invisible light.

Everyone in the fortress felt as if there was a brief buzzing in their ears, and a voice appeared faintly, but it quickly dissipated before anyone could carefully discern what it was saying.

"What just happened?"

Many people gathered together to talk and discuss.

If only a small number of people experience auditory hallucinations, it may be defined as an illusion, but if everyone hears it, this situation will inevitably arouse everyone's suspicion.

Zhang Rui, who is the fortress Governor, immediately went to Lincon to explain what happened in the fortress.

After listening to Zhang Rui's description, Lincon raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "The laws will be synchronized to the ears of everyone in the fortress."

He waved his hand. "I was conducting an experiment just now, and I accidentally made this noise. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it."

After receiving this reply, Zhang Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly informed everyone of the news.

Now that the arrival time of Black Tide is getting closer, many people in the fortress have begun to become nervous.

Although they all have full confidence in Lincon, everyone has basically experienced the horror of Black Tide personally. It is the real doomsday, the truest side of darkness, and an almost despairing sight.

Lincon sighed, he could naturally feel the uneasy atmosphere in the fortress.

In this regard, apart from appearing with Zhang Rui from time to time to appease everyone, he spent the rest of his time focusing on obtaining Sunlight and advanced plants.

[Black Tide arrival countdown: 7 days]

Zhou Qing took Black Iron City's people and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he came specifically to say goodbye to Lincon, and casually mentioned the strange scene that happened outside the city yesterday.

Lincon heard this and answered in a meaningful tone.

It was just that he sensed that Zhou Qing and others appeared near Shrine, so he used his ability to play a joke on them.

Just kidding...

These two words made Zhou Qing, even after leaving Longwind Fortress for a long time, still not forget to look back and curse him with a few curse words.

Do you think I'm such an easy person to fool?

[Black Tide arrival countdown: 6 days]

Today the day is still Sunlight bright, the production and construction of the fortress has not stopped, and everyone is busy doing the work at hand.

However, they would look back from time to time to look at the figure sitting on the fortress platform.

Lincon held a seedling that was almost reduced to charcoal in his hand, and gently placed it in a flower pot filled with soil.

The breeze blew, and the gray-black seedlings swayed, and fine ashes shook off the leaves. They were clearly bathed in Sunlight, but there was no trace of life in them.

swish swish...

Sunlight Sunflower outside the city wall seemed to be watching here, Lincon whispered in a low voice, "I have been preparing for so long, and finally the conditions are met!"

He placed Sunstone next to the flower pot, and the golden stripes on the surface looked very dazzling.

Lincon raised his right hand, and the Seed Mark in his palm gradually became hot, slowly covering the top of the seedling's head.

Light... please take care of this Ashen Flower!
