301 The Curious Shi Linglong
“How do centaurs sleep? Do they sleep on the bed too?” asked Shi Linglong. She was genuinely curious.
Centaurs couldn’t really sleep on the bed. Su Wan had placed some blankets on the ground to make a snug little place for Ferula.
“Let’s talk about repairing the Heavy Blade Warriors instead!” said Su Wan quickly to change the subject.
The heavy Blade Warrior that had fought with Ferula was in the hall. Its head almost touched the ceiling. After the fight, its usage time had reduced to 20 minutes.
Its metal body had sustained damage. Su Wan needed to repair it quickly. She didn’t think it could withstand another battle in this state.
It would be a great loss if it couldn’t be repaired. It was one of her strongest trump cards.
“What about Mithril? Can’t it be used to repair it?” asked Shi Linglong.
“It can be, but the process is just too slow.” Su Wan took out some Mithril and placed it at the Heavy Blade warrior’s feet.
The metal body glowed faintly and started absorbing the Mithril at a painstakingly slow speed.
Even Mithril can’t heal Extraordinary Hunters? ” Shi Linglong raised her head and sized him up, then frowned.
Shi Linglong frowned. “Maybe it’s because of the impurities in the Mithril. Purifying it should speed up the process,” she said. “I will take this back and try to refine it.”
“That’s exactly why I called you here.” Su Wan knew that her friend was very talented at refining and restoration of equipment and weapons.
“Right now, the territory lacks crossbows and cannons. We need to develop them as soon as possible to fortify our defenses,” said Su Wan.
Su Wan shared her ideas with her friend. If they were going to expand their territories around each other, it was important to remain strong from all sides.
Su Wan had obtained the god-hunting crossbow’s blueprint. It was a powerful weapon of S Level.
The alchemical cannons and bombs would undoubtedly be effective in approaching enemies. The god-hunting crossbows would be even better for long-range combat.
Su Wan wanted to perfect the defenses of her territory without any opening that the enemies could take advantage of.
Who knows how strong the Light-Type army would be? If Xu Yuan hadn’t chased the six-winged Seraphim and the Angel Army, Shi Linglong’s Territory Core would’ve been destroyed.
They talked for a while. After that, Shi Linglong wanted to see the centaur once, so Lin Wan led her quietly to Ferula’s room.
…
The next morning, the residents noticed a centaur running around the territory. She looked young and full of energy. Ferula was like a hyperactive child.
The residents were a little surprised. When they heard Ferula call Su Wan and Xu Yuan her mother and father, it caused an even bigger discussion.
“Our Lord and His Majesty sure know how to fool around,” said a middle-aged man.
Some thought that Su Wan had given birth to the centaur.
“The Lord must have adopted Miss Ferula from somewhere,” said one of the residents.
Ferula looked to be 14 or 15 years old. It was impossible for her to be Su Wan’s baby.
Most people knew that was not the case, but they were always up for some gossip. It didn’t matter whether Ferula was the biological child of Su Wan and the Dark Demon Dragon. Since she called them her mother and her father, that made Ferula the princess of the territory.
The residents were curious about Ferula. They tried talking to her. She sang and danced and jumped around the territory, making everyone laugh.
Ferula was very sensible, too. She never disturbed others while they worked. She would stand silently at the corner and look at them with curiosity.
The residents became fond of her. They always saved delicious food for her.
Ferula’s crisp laughter echoed everywhere in the territory.
Su Wan let Ferula roam freely around the territory. She focused on upgrading the territory. She needed to accumulate more resources and train to become stronger than before.
Everything required resources. It was especially difficult to upgrade Territory Core with a lack of resources.
Once the Heavy Blade Warrior was repaired, she decided to take it underground to gather resources. She couldn’t rely on hunting monsters to gather resources every time.
With the rapid development of the territory, the resources decreased. They were at a stage where the remaining resources couldn’t sustain the progress.
This was the reason why Xu Yuan and Su Wan wanted to invest a larger number of resources into the development right now when they had enough. In the future, they couldn’t sustain it by collecting and hunting for more.
“Your Majesty, the god-hunting crossbow has been successfully forged,” said Eliza.
Xu Yuan perked up. He had been waiting for it for a long time.
Su Wan had gone out after assigning Eliza the task of forging weapons at the blacksmith’s shop.
When Xu Yuan stepped into the courtyard, he saw the heavy crossbow in front of him. It was around five meters wide. The curved arc of the crossbow emanated a chilling aura.
Many ordinary bowstrings needed to be fused to make one bowstring for the god-hunting crossbow. The body of the crossbow was engraved with runes. The energy fluctuation around it was palpable. The crossbow was propped up on a device that had wheels.
Only someone of the giant’s bloodline could pull the string on such a heavy crossbow.
The crossbow was equipped with intricate mechanisms. It had two capstans on each side. When the capstan was turned on, the hook would pull the bowstring taut.
The arrow could then be shot by pulling on a trigger mechanism.
The ballista had a neat arrangement of giant arrows. They were designed with accuracy and precision in mind. The arrows would automatically get loaded when the bowstring was pulled.
[God-Hunting Crossbow]
[Level: 4]
[Characteristic: Each God-hunting Crossbow can be equipped with 10 bolts. Range is 700 meters.]
[Arrow flying speed is increased by 300%, attack power increased by 300%, hit rate increased by 70%, additional piercing characteristic, additional damage to heavy armor units, additional 200% damage to dragons. When using god-hunting crossbow to attack, use at a minimum of 200 meters of range. Doing so will double the attributes.]
[Note: A super heavy crossbow that can even be used to kill gods.]
The attributes were exemplary. Indeed, the weapon could even kill a god!
