Chapter 686: City of Judgment
"What kind of reward do you want?"
For Duanmu Huai, the answer to this question couldn't be simpler.
Just like now, he looked at the system information in front of him with a smug look on his face.
[Player gets a special reward title-Legendary Blade Commander]
[Legendary Blade Commander special effect: will not be affected by magic and other abilities (except the ability to change attack power/life value), as long as you wear the legendary sword, you can launch an "assault" and get the "turn the damage received into zero" effect]
"This is the ability of the holy sword, no wonder that guy can be free and easy for so long."
Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai also nodded. With such an ability, it is basically equivalent to being invincible as long as you wear the holy sword. No wonder that the brave man can do whatever he wants for so long and can't be killed no matter how he is killed.
It's just a pity that "except the ability to change attack power/life value", which means that aging is inevitable for the holder of the holy sword. If he is old, his strength is not enough, and his physique becomes weak, then the holy sword will not change this natural law.
Unfortunately, the hero himself could not see the attributes and abilities of the sword, so he went to the devil to ask for immortality. Well, strictly speaking, the holy sword would not make the holder immortal, and the hero was not wrong in this respect.
For Duanmu Huai, after getting this title, he could also fully exert the ability of the holy sword. As for how to use it, it was very simple, just hang it on his waist as an accessory. Of course, Duanmu Huai would not use it on weekdays, after all, invincibility is a thing. Well, basically, if you care too much about invincibility, you will not end up well.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai planned to put away the legendary sword on weekdays and use it when encountering a difficult enemy.
Just like when you encounter a boss like Typhons again, you can directly cut into the legendary sword when the fight starts, and then rush to the face while invincible to smash the opponent to death or half-death with a fierce attack, which is really cool!
In fact, this is quite simple. If you don’t meet the requirements for the award, you can kill the original awardee, and then find someone who is willing to award you the honor, right?
To be honest, when Aurelia learned of Duanmu Huai's request, she was also stunned. The title of Legendary Blade Commander is indeed a very high-sounding title in Ruminas, but it does not have much practical significance. Just like the so-called "holy women" in many churches, in addition to the title itself, the privileges of the Legendary Blade Commander are that he can form his own army and carry weapons into the palace.
And although this title is very powerful, it is not truly invincible—it requires the legendary sword to be close to the body, that is, once it is out of hand or knocked away, the effect disappears.
This is also the reason why the hero was killed by his descendants. Although the hero held the legendary sword and swung it violently, his descendants also experienced an adventure and became a generation of swordsmanship masters. According to the memory of the hero that Duanmu Huai looked through, the latter used his swordsmanship to forcibly knock the hero's legendary sword away, and then grabbed the legendary sword and pierced his heart with a sword.
Well, it can be seen that the invincibility thing has become a DEBUFF if it is used too much.
By the way, with the death of the old king, the country of Ruminas has indeed begun to be turbulent, and Aurelia, who succeeded the queen, has begun to quell the unrest and tried to catch all those who followed the former hero. Of course, this is their family affair, and Duanmu Huai does not intend to intervene.
Moreover, for Duanmu Huai, his territory is still the most important.
Especially now.
"Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, it does look like that."
Standing on the balcony, overlooking the territory in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.
After he blew up the entire Lost Land, the Lost Land was basically a barren Gobi desert, but now, the situation has obviously improved. The Night Guards dug through the underground river and led it up, forming rivers and lakes around the Lost Land, and the originally barren wilderness, with the help of the forest princess Mistelina and her druids, once again restored to a green forest and grassland.
The city in front of the battleship is also quite large. Duanmu Huai did not use the antimatter reaction in the battleship for energy supply, but used the magic drive engine from Manalia to supply energy for the entire city. The whole city is completely Gothic, with countless sharp towers rising up one after another, blending with the metal church on the Moon-class cruiser.
Since this place was originally a wasteland, it is much more convenient to plan. Other cities are built according to local conditions, and only this city is built completely according to the plan. The terrain that does not conform to the plan can be directly flattened and rebuilt. Whether it is a hill, a plain or a pit, it is not much more difficult for the Inquisition to change the landform than to build the terrain tools in the game.
In short, wherever there is a lake on the blueprint, there is one. If there is no lake, just dig one and build it.
By the way, Duanmu Huai also discovered another rule of this world, that is, the items he used in other worlds can also be used normally in this world. But if similar things are made with the materials of this world, it is easy to cause various problems-it can be seen that this is indeed the fault of the gods of Faerun.
"How is it, Ogis?"
Looking at the city in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but wave his hand with pride.
“Aren’t these houses beautiful?”
"………………"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Ogis raised her head, carefully looked at the building under construction below, and nodded slightly.
"Yes, Master, these houses are much more beautiful than those built by Master."
"……………………"
You just have to say more and add the following sentence, right?
"Pfft."
Hearing the conversation between Duanmu Huai and Ojisi, An Ze, who was not far away, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mr. Knight, isn't the house you built just like a boxy coffin?"
An Ke still remembered that when they were in the empire, Duanmu Huai led them to track down the plague. When camping outside at night, he once built a rectangular stone house with his own gloves.
Of course, people can live in it, but living in it always feels like a corpse lying in a tomb.
No, to be honest, the royal tombs are more beautiful than the houses he built.
"Nonsense, I am a judge and not a construction worker. It would be nice to have shelter from the wind and rain."
Duanmuhuai glared at An angrily, and the latter made a face at Duanmuhuai.
"But...no one lives in these houses."
At this time, Mary also raised her hand and asked. After she completed her studies in her own world, she heard that Duanmu Huai was going to build a territory in this world, so she hurriedly followed.
Mary was also surprised when she arrived in this city for the first time, but she soon discovered that although there was everything here and all the necessities were available, it was not open at all. It was like a ghost town.
"Of course, we need to plan the city first and then attract immigrants."
In the field of construction, Duanmu Huai has little experience, but he has seen the blood and tears of many players in the forum - after all, watching other people's misfortune has always been the greatest pleasure, and after seeing it too much, Duanmu Huai also started to These players have gained some experience from their blood, tears, lessons and complaints.
First of all, immigrants are absolutely not allowed to build their own houses!
Most immigrants are poor, and building a house is very expensive. Many immigrants simply cannot build a good house on brand new land. As a result, many players' territories are filled with sewage water flowing out of slums, and the smell is really terrible.
Secondly, land property rights must be strictly controlled by the lord!
When some players set land policies, they adhered to the concept of "wind can enter, rain can enter, and kings cannot enter" and set up a clause that private property rights in land are supreme and cannot be infringed even by lords.
As a result, his lord's mansion was almost forcibly demolished and bought by the noble chamber of commerce. In the end, the man who was too popular just fired a macro cannon from the interstellar orbit and flattened the entire city and rebuilt it...
These are classic jokes.
Of course, a joke is a joke, and Duanmu Huai doesn't want to become the joke himself. In fact, in most worlds, the concept of property rights for land and houses is in a very primitive stage--I got the lord's permission and obtained this land, then this land is mine. You can do anything on it.
Well, it's obvious that their ideas are going to change after coming here.
Of course, Duanmu Huai's advisors were also greatly surprised by these terms, believing that such mandatory terms could easily cause dissatisfaction among other power organizations, but Duanmu Huai didn't care. Just kidding, they are the Inquisition. They are not building territories in this world to please other people. This territory is their frontline fortress against the imminent invasion of the Chaos Evil God. The entire territory is equivalent to military rule. No one is allowed to disobey. If you don't want to come, just leave.
Duanmu Huai doesn’t make money from these people’s taxes anyway, right?
"What's the current progress?"
"Almost 80 percent have been reached, meeting the reservation plan standards."
In other words, all the planned buildings have been completed, most of the members are in place, and the city can finally begin official operation.
"very good."
After hearing An's answer, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Get ready to open up the territory."
"Yes...I want to say that, but Mr. Knight, there is another very important thing."
"What's up?"
"You have not yet given a name to your realm and your city."
An blinked at Duanmuhuai as he spoke, and Mary's face paled when she heard this.
"I beg you, Mr. Duanmu, please don't use names like Pink Bunny or Three Little Pigs... This city is so beautiful, shouldn't you give it a corresponding name? ?”
"Then leave it to you."
Hearing Mary's protest, Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and changed the target directly.
"Huh? Leave it to me?"
"That's right, aren't you a writer? It should be easy to think of a name. Since you said this city is so beautiful and you don't want me to name it something like Three Little Pigs, then you might as well think of one."
"I……………"
Hearing this, Mary clenched the pen in her hand, thought for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.
"I will work hard, Mr. Duanmu, and I will definitely come up with a good name worthy of this city and this territory!!"
