Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 1534 Gravitation and Mental Shield

Alz frowned slightly, and relaxed again after a moment.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying softly:

"I thought about this day a long time ago."

"People who are dominated by emotions are often not rational enough."

"Greed is also an understandable nature."

These words made Zong Shen think.

The other party has a good mentality, at least he can see some things in the essence of human nature.

No matter how good a utopia is, it will be shattered one day.

A beautiful dream will always wake up.

Although the tribune Alz has great talents and great visions, even he himself cannot be immortal, let alone the original concept.

The capital-first model is now implemented in the Free City of Bol.

The major families in the city have interests.

The overall structure is close to the goblin consortium model.

The handicraft industry is developed, the trade circulation is fast, and there are already traces of the budding of capitalism.

The rising second class is basically workshop owners, and the third class is various handicraftsmen.

As for the economic proportion of agriculture, it has been pulled to a very low level.

Zong Shen once wanted to turn his territory into a prosperous trading city.

Owning a trading city is no less than owning a cornucopia.

But now he has changed his mind.

In the context of great expansion, the core territory must be stable enough.

The more stable it is, the more conducive it is to subsequent expansion and conquest, otherwise it will greatly delay the progress of development.

"At least the Free City of Bol has not been destroyed, nor has it become a private territory."

Zong Shen comforted casually.

All major kingdoms have more or less free city-states.

These city-states have different systems, some are still family hereditary, and some are parliamentary systems.

But in any case, they are still very different from traditional family fiefdoms.

The power enjoyed by the rulers is weakened, and the power of capital is magnified.

In fact, it does not hinder the rule at all.

Because the rulers of free city-states often also have strong capital.

The part of power covered by capital is still in the hands of the rulers.

Freedom is a double-edged sword. In comparison, what Zong Shen needs more at present is absolute dominance.

These words made Alz shrug his shoulders.

"As long as the foundation of the giant city is laid, it is not easy to destroy one in the era of great development of the kingdom."

"I wonder in which direction you want to build the territory?"

Alz asked repeatedly.

The original intention of the free city-state was to develop the economy and expand the total amount of wealth.

But without him in person, class differentiation is inevitable.

Alz knew this very well.

He is an all-round internal affairs talent, and can formulate strategies according to Zong Shen's needs.

"The model of strong ruling power and strong military power."

"Different from the chaebol, different from ordinary kingdoms."

"I want absolute control, not the way of enfeoffment."

"You should know that as a lord, I am blessed by God."

Zong Shen raised a finger and gestured upwards.

In response, Alz just nodded slightly.

"As you wish."

"I will do my best to perform my duties according to your will."

Hearing this, Zong Shen turned his head and looked at him again.

This time, there were also lines of related subtitles in front of his vision.

[Loyalty: 70 (perseverance)]

[Perseverance: Loyalty changes slightly. Regardless of increase or decrease, if loyalty is increased to 100, perseverance will transform into loyalty]

…

Alz's health is not much, after all, he is not a combat hero.

But his qualifications and titles seem to be quite famous, as if he has additional reputation.

In addition, in the [race] item, in addition to the Kingdom of Avalon, he is also a human from the East Region.

This East Region should refer to the East Region of the continent.

In the era of Alz's rise, the current pattern of the human kingdom was barely established.

Humans scattered all over the continent gradually became the protagonists of the Endless Continent.

Zong Shen did not expect Alz to participate in the battle, so he did not care about his attributes in terms of attack.

The focus is on this guy's [Hero Skill].

This is the key.

Alz's talent in internal affairs will definitely be reflected in it.

[Hero Skill]

[People's Heart: After mastering the ruling power, you can activate this hero skill to improve the cohesion of the people within the ruling range and improve the efficiency of policy implementation in all aspects]

[Determined Me (Gold): Possessing a firm will and not easily bewitched]

[The rational me (gold): I have decisive rationality and am less likely to be impulsive and rash]

[Compassionate Me (Gold): Compassion has not been lost, and it is not easy to become callous]

[The studious me (gold): book reading speed and skill learning speed increased by 35%]

[Worship of truth (gold): Worships reason and knowledge, and has exclusive communication skills and affinity, which can easily resolve the hostility of the people and increase the probability of persuading targets who are not our own]

[Legendary Tribune (Legendary): A tribune with legendary prestige, masters special powers, has twelve additional tribune abilities, and will have the opportunity to master related priesthoods in the future to condense the fire of the true god]

…

Zong Shen's pupils narrowed slightly, looking a little surprised.

He originally thought that Alz's [Hero Skills] must all be of the Shining and Legend level.

But he didn't expect that his talents were almost entirely golden.

Only the [Legendary Tribune] has reached the legendary level, and there are no radiant talents between the two levels.

Although golden talent is not bad, it is not an outstanding level among high-level talents.

In other words, Alz used his golden talent to display super-level abilities.

Because its actual talent rating is legendary, and it also has the honorary title of Tribune.

Zong Shen was not disappointed by this, but was even more looking forward to Alz's future performance, which meant that Alz still had a lot of potential that could be tapped.

Going one step further, that is to assist the country, and even assist domestic heroes who dominate the entire continent.

The remarks also stated that this guy also has the potential to become a god. Regardless of whether he will become a god or not, it is still very cost-effective to help him reach the demigod level if there is a chance in the future.

The talent of [Legendary Tribune] integrates twelve major abilities.

It’s all about gains in people’s livelihood and domestic development.

It is equivalent to a specialized "skill package".

Other talents are the basis for Alz to become a tribune.

After understanding the connection in his heart, Zong Shen stopped thinking about Alz.

How it performs depends on the other party's reaction after entering the territory to perform its duties.

So Zong Shen restrained his thoughts.

Just as he was about to check out the next banner harvest.

Heya, wearing a maid uniform, returned to the study room in a hurry.

She was blessed with the Light Body Technique, and she moved not only quickly but also without making any sound.

"You came back just in time."

"This is Alz, the territory's interior adjutant."

"Heya, it's up to you to take Alz to the directional teleportation point and take him to the city hall in person."

"Just let Mariel arrange the follow-up matters."

He Ya, who had not yet stood firm, stopped at the door and quickly bowed and agreed.

After this period of companionship, both women have accepted their status as maids very well.

Alz also bowed slightly and saluted, and followed Heya's footsteps and left without hesitation.

The study became quiet again.

Without much pause, he tapped the table with one palm.

White light flashed under his palm.

When the light disappeared, a simple skill book appeared on the table.

From Zong Shen's observation perspective, there are lines of golden notes next to it.

[Upgradeable Skill Book·Gravity (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Requirement I: Basic spatial perception ≥ 60]

[Requirement II: Wisdom attribute ≥ 5420]

[Lords and hero-level units need to meet the above conditions to learn]

[After learning successfully, you can master the skill: Gravity]

[This skill is an upgradeable skill without levels]

[Gravitation Technique·Level I: Gravity can be controlled within a range of 100 meters. In the restrained state, the maximum gravity can be increased to three times, and the minimum can be one-fifth of the conventional gravity. This skill has no cooldown, but when using Gravity Technique, Cannot use other skills]

[Advanced requirements: Root of Nothingness, Power Gem]

…

Zong Shen, who received compulsory education, understands the role of gravity.

Gravity and gravity are different.

Taking the earth as an example, it provides centripetal force to the component of the object's universal gravitation in the direction pointing to the earth's axis, and the remaining component is what we usually call gravity.

It can be said that gravity is a component of gravity.

But where the object does not rotate at the two poles and does not need centripetal force, all gravity is used to generate gravity.

In the Endless Continent, various physical constants tend to be roughly stable.

Then there are many applications for controlling gravity.

For example, creating a centripetal force to forcefully drag or repel the target.

Or gravity suppression is most commonly used.

It can also reduce the gravity around itself to improve activity efficiency.

At level 1, the maximum adjustment limit of gravity is three times, and the lower limit is one-fifth.

As a skill that can be continuously advanced, as long as it continues to improve, it still has a lot of room for improvement.

When it reaches a high level, it will definitely be more powerful than ordinary forbidden spells.

Flip chose to master the skill.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you have too many skills. As for the abilities that can be mastered through skill books, as long as they meet the conditions and can be learned, he will try his best to master them.

Compared with those abilities that rely on rare objects and equipment, the skills you possess undoubtedly have higher reliability.

The skill book turned into light particles and sank into his body.

Zong Shen felt a sense of understanding and familiarity in his mind.

He transcended the originally lengthy stage of comprehension and learning and directly and skillfully mastered the first-order gravity technique.

There is a vague sense of the force field within a radius of 100 meters.

He suddenly raised his hand and focused his mind on the decorative sword rack on the wall in front of him.

There were two fine steel swords lying on it.

Suddenly, one end of the sword tilted up like a scale pressed by a weight, with the tip of the sword pointing upwards, and suddenly shot towards the ceiling.

It pierced into the stone ceiling with good force, and sank one-third of the sword body.

It looks quite powerful.

Using the characteristics of gravity and its no-cooling mode of use, Zong Shen easily found a way to micro-manipulate.

This skill can apply an extra force to a specified area or object.

There are many specific ways to use it.

This force can also be exerted on oneself, and by adjusting the angle of application, it can play many different roles.

In the future, when Zong Shen develops more means of use or collects the materials needed for skill advancement, [Gravity] will definitely bring him new surprises.

Without pausing, he took out the next item, which was also a skill book.

The surface of this skill book looked ordinary.

All the skill books produced by the system were like this, without any fancy decorations.

Its name was [Spirit Shield], and Zong Shen could roughly guess its function just by looking at the name.

He stared at it for a while, and the subtitles appeared.

[Exclusive Adaptive Skills·Spirit Shield (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Exclusive adaptation, only available for Lord Zong Shen 1999514]

[Requirement: Wisdom ≥ 10000]

[Spirit Shield: A spirit shield can be condensed within a radius of three meters around the body. The shield has a shield defense value of 100 points of its own wisdom attribute and a fixed dual resistance of 3000 points. It can restore 0.2% of the shield defense value every minute. This skill has no cooldown and can be split and used at the same time]

[(Click to learn and master)]

(The spirit shield that can be split and used, while the total shield defense value remains unchanged, you can choose to divide it into several shield surfaces and activate them simultaneously within the range of the body

Or directly condense a larger magic shield

Due to its specificity, you can even use the magic shield to build an invisible ladder to the sky, and achieve the goal of stepping on the left foot and the right foot to the sky)

…

"Very interesting."

Zong Shen's mouth curled slightly, and then his fingertips touched the skill book and chose to learn and master.

The skill book disappeared in light, and Zong Shen gained a new skill.

He stood up and raised his hand, and saw that the air was twisted about 30 centimeters in front of his palm.

That was where the mental shield was.

It was semi-transparent, but it was still quite conspicuous in the sun.

At the same time, in perception, its form was constantly changing between entity and non-entity.

Sometimes it could be perceived, and sometimes it could not be understood.

Suddenly, Zong Shen had an inspiration.

He came to the terrace of the study.

He created a mental shield behind him and activated [Gravity].
