Chapter 1077 - 589: Thoughts on Recruiting Warriors, Little Flame Demon [Bonus for Alliance Leader "I Don’t Eat Cilantro"]

Zong Shen’s wild thoughts only lasted for about thirty seconds before the Time Stop ended.

The surroundings returned to normal. Luna and Doris were busy reorganizing the assembled troops.

The Wolf Cavalry were the fastest. When they arrived first, the Shooters and Mages were still behind; at this rate it would take a few more minutes to finish gathering.

But now that the Flame Demon crusade had been canceled, there was no absolute need to mobilize every Warrior in the Territory.

Zong Shen planned to wait for the detailed challenge event announcement before deciding how to deploy his forces.

There might also be other contingencies afterward that he needed to plan for.

Besides, no matter how this challenge event was changed, Luna would lead an advance party to the Northern Forest at midnight tonight to recon the situation of the Goblin Tribe.

When the challenge ended, that would be the time for Zong Shen to make his move against the Goblin Tribe.

Zong Shen stood where he was, watching Luna riding the Sentinel Black Panther back and forth, and couldn’t help recalling the Goblin campaign plan.

Once the goblins were wiped out, the Northern Forest would become his back garden; the forest itself was a treasure vault.

It could produce all kinds of herbs, and countless Wild Beasts and Magical Beasts dwelled within.

The site ruins in the Northern Forest would also be brought into Zong Shen’s exploration range.

At the same time, it would further clear out potential threats within the region.

Aside from those reasons, there was also an Elf Key inside the Goblin Tribe and a Rune Key to enter the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance—visible, direct benefits.

Zong Shen had been plotting for a long time; it was about time to close the net.

He collected his thoughts. After all, Korby and Favide were still kneeling in front of him.

He turned his gaze to Favide, quickly checking the changes after he had advanced into a Heroic Level character.

[Hero: Favide (Purple)]

[Talent: Rare]

[Race: Human]

[Level: LV19]

[Experience Value: 6723/19650]

[Hunger Level: 78]

[Life Value: 485]

[Mana: 535]

[Command Value: 0/21]

[Strength: 19]

[Agility: 12]

[Wisdom: 56]

[Charm: 21]

[Remaining Attribute Points: 0]

[Remaining Skill Points: 4]

[Remaining Assignable Weapon Proficiency: 0]

[Detailed Attributes: (click to expand)]

[Heroic Skills: (click to expand)]

[Lord-level Passive Skills: (click to expand)]

[Loyalty: 100]

Favide’s Attributes were even higher than when Doris had first converted to Heroic Level.

First, his current Level was six or seven levels higher than Doris had been at that time.

As a "dog-grinding" expert, ever since he obtained [Theseus’ Slaying Staff (Purple)], he had become obsessed with combat. To accumulate as much Slaughter Value as possible, he almost refused to miss any battle.

By international convention, the first thing to check had to be the [Heroic Skills].

This tab represented the two Talent Skills of a Hero.

From these two Skills one could infer the Hero’s temperament and innate potential.

Zong Shen moved his thoughts, and the [Heroic Skills] list unfolded.

[Passive Skill: Diligence Can Make Up for Incompetence (Every time accumulated Meditation Training Time reaches 1000 hours, you gain one Attribute Gain: Wisdom +5, Charm +2)

Multi-tasking (Can Dual Wield Magic Staffs or any One-Handed Weapons; the Attribute Gain of the second equipped item is only 50%)]

Favide’s [Heroic Skills] were more distinctive than Korby’s.

[Diligence Can Make Up for Incompetence] allowed him to gain extra Attribute Gain through Meditation Cultivation.

However, it required a total of 1000 hours of Meditation to trigger once; it was a Talent Skill with long-term potential.

The second Skill, [Multi-tasking], allowed Favide to equip two Magic Staffs at the same time, but the second staff would only enjoy 50% of its Attribute Gain.

This was also a very good Talent, essentially giving him an extra set of weapon Attribute Gains.

Truly, you can’t judge a man by his looks, nor measure the sea with a bucket.

With these two Skills as bonuses, Favide’s training potential immediately went up a notch.

Next, Zong Shen opened the [Lord-level Passive Skills].

The Strength System was blank, the Agility System was blank; in the Wisdom System there were 3 points in [Item Management]. Counting the 20 inherent Storage Grids, this meant Favide’s Personal Storage Grid now totaled 38 slots. In addition, he had 3 points in [Healing]; when Favide was leading the team, party members would gain an extra 60% Life Value recovery speed. The Charm System that followed was likewise a blank slate.

Favide still had 4 assignable Skill Points. Zong Shen felt he could consider picking some party-type Skills from the Wisdom System to help him lead the Mage Corps.

But for the final decision, he chose to leave it to Favide himself.

"Get up, both of you."

"Return to your respective teams and help Luna with organizing the formations."

Zong Shen closed the Attribute panel and spoke softly.

The two hurried to their feet, bowed to Zong Shen once more, then slowly backed away.

Standing in place, Zong Shen did not move off. Together with Blood Wolf Gujate, he watched the Warriors forming up, awaiting the arrival of the event announcement.

...

Favide’s heart was surging with excitement.

He had finally become a Heroic Level character within the Territory.

That meant he would now stand on equal footing with Doris—no, his position might even be a bit higher than Doris’s, and it was all thanks to the Lord!

Doris’s Talent was better than his.

Both of them were Fire Mages, and because of that, Favide understood their gap all the more clearly.

On top of that, Doris’s personality was lively and unrestrained, and she harbored an almost paranoid Frenzy for battle.
