A longbow containing the power of time, an elegy for the years.

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"It really is equipment from the same series."

"The two-piece set effect is quite strong, actually increasing armor by 100%."

"However, with only a 35% chance, it's not very useful in normal situations."

After all, the best user for this equipment set is Braum.

But he already has the [Shield of Origin], and the special effects on this Legendary shield completely crush these two Epic pieces of equipment.

So there is no need to replace it at all.

Cao Xing decided to let Liu Muxue use this shield first.

The shield increases block rate by 20%, and combined with Liu Muxue's 'Shield Counter' skill, in a one-on-one situation, she would basically block every attack.

Moreover, after a successful block, it deals 100% damage back to the enemy, which is an even better effect.

As for the armor, there's no need to equip it on her to complete the set effect.

After all, Liu Muxue is currently wearing the full [Song of Light Set], so there is no need to discard the six-piece set effect for this two-piece set effect.

The battle armor can be given to Bjorn, or heroes like Xiao who are Agility + Strength types.

After deciding on the recipients, Cao Xing began to examine the last item.

A pure black flower appeared in his hand, growing a total of six petals.

Each petal was like the pitch-black night sky, looking completely dark.

But when you looked closely, you could see faint specks of starlight flickering on it, radiating a profound beauty.

He scanned the attributes.

[Abyssal Flower (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Description: A flower petal that grew on the dark seabed, having absorbed a large amount of Dark and Extreme Cold elements, undergoing a certain special transformation.]

[Item Effect ①: Can be consumed. Has an 80% chance to increase Dark and Ice attribute damage by 10%, and a 20% chance to suffer backlash, reducing all attributes by 5%]

(Note: Can be used at most 1 time.)

[Item Effect ②: A flower containing extremely pure Dark and Ice attributes, it is one of the main materials for certain Legendary potions.]

"It's actually a main material for Legendary potions? No wonder it was stored in Zevelin's treasury!"

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face: "There are a full 10 Abyssal Flowers in the treasury. If I can find the corresponding Legendary recipe, could I make 10 bottles of Legendary potions?"

"Or, I could give these Abyssal Flowers to Francesca and let her research them."

"See if she can develop a new Legendary potion?"

A glint of light flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

As for the first effect, increasing attribute damage upon consumption, he didn't consider it.

After all, compared to a 10% damage increase, the Legendary potions were even more astonishing.

He carefully put the [Abyssal Flower] into his backpack.

Next was the last item, and also the one Cao Xing was most looking forward to.

That Legendary quality wooden bow!

He took the wooden bow out of his backpack and held it in his hand to examine it.

The surface of this wooden bow was still so plain and unadorned, just like a tool used daily by an ordinary hunter.

If it weren't for the system prompt, no one would dare to believe that this wooden bow was actually a Legendary quality treasure!

With a look of anticipation, he glanced at the attributes of this great bow.

[Elegy of Time (Legendary)]

[Weapon Type: Bow]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Weapon Level: Level 70]

[Weapon Attack Power: 8325 ~ 8471]

[Power of Time: 0 / 500 (Each arrow that triggers a critical hit will increase the Power of Time by 1 point; each point of Power of Time can increase attack power by 100 points)]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Agility +2300, Strength +2000, Attack Speed +35%]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Arrow of Time (When an arrow hits an enemy, it will generate a Time Lag effect, reducing their movement speed by 35% for 6 seconds)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Butterfly of Reversal (Consumes 50 points of Power of Time to create a deceleration field in a 50m * 50m area in front, causing enemies passing through to have their movement speed reduced by 50% for 10 seconds.)]

[Attached Special Effect ④: Cycle of Time (Consumes 200 points of Power of Time to reset the cooldown of a skill, including Legendary skills.)]

(Note: The same skill can be reset at most once per hour.)

[Attached Special Effect 5: Time Reversal (Legendary-grade special effect, consumes 500 points of Power of Time to reverse time within a 500-meter radius, returning it to 5 seconds ago. Cooldown: 72 hours)]

(Note: Reversing time involves too many causalities and rules. Please consider carefully before use, observe the surrounding situation, and avoid causing unknown influences and consequences.)

(Equipment Introduction: Time is like a bow, the elegy is like an arrow; time passes and never returns. Oh, chaser, stop slowly. When I pull the bowstring, time will sing for you—Time Hunter: Dennis Austin)

Like all Legendary equipment, this great bow had special effects that were more terrifying than the last!

Especially the final Legendary-grade special effect—Time Reversal!

This was true time reversal. Although it could only return to 5 seconds ago and the range was only 500 meters, it was already extremely terrifying.

Just imagine, when you are clearing stages or conducting trials, you make some kind of wrong choice.

At this time, you could use 'Time Reversal' to go back to 5 seconds before and get another chance.

During battle, if teammates suffer massive casualties, you can also use this ability to resurrect the teammates en masse!

"Too broken—" Cao Xing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Of course, besides the final Legendary-grade special effect, the other special effects were also quite good.

They combined support, burst, and attack power enhancement.

It could be said to be quite versatile.

"Very good. After binding this great bow, not only will it increase the team's strength, but it will also allow my title to upgrade again."

Cao Xing felt very satisfied.

Obviously, the user of this great bow had to be Renice!

After all, she is currently not only the most powerful archer in the territory but also the one with the most seniority.

Therefore, Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and said: "Muxue, Renice, Bjorn, come to the territory center to find me."

"Yes, Lord."

"Okay, Ah Xing."

The responses of the three echoed in his ears.

Before long, three figures walked over one after another.

Cao Xing's gaze fell on Renice and Bjorn beside him.

Their attribute panels appeared before his eyes.

Now, one of them was a Level 100 Sovereign, and the other was a Level 70 Commander.

By comparison, Bjorn was already more than a tier weaker than Renice.

Ever since this Dragon Blood Warrior commander was recruited to the territory using a recruitment scroll, he hadn't helped him improve his potential.

Although his strength wasn't at the bottom compared to other core members, it was already starting to lag behind the team.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "I previously planned to let Bjorn break through to Hero as soon as possible, then find him the corresponding Relic to dash directly to the Legendary realm."

"Then, I would let him try to absorb that drop of 'Krakatoa's Blood'."

"However, territory resources are limited, so these Sovereign souls were prioritized for those who needed them more."

"Although I still have one soul left in my backpack, that is reserved for the next person to break through to Legendary."

"Of course, if the next Relic I obtain happens to be usable by Bjorn, that would be for the best."

Bjorn's improvement was not urgent.

Because in about half a month, that ancient ruin would open.

At that time, not only him, but also powerhouses like Xiao and Victoria who were still at the Master realm would have a chance to improve.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing stopped worrying about this matter.

Instead, he took out the [Hero Battle Armor], [Hero Shield], and [Elegy of Time] from his backpack.

And handed them to them respectively.

Bjorn and Liu Muxue were fine, as they only received Epic equipment.

Although the attributes were strong, they already had quite a few, so they didn't feel too shocked.

But the plain-looking wooden bow in Renice's hand was a Legendary-level weapon!

When she sensed the Power of Time contained within the bow, intense shock appeared in her pupils.

"By the gods, what kind of bow is this?"

Her voice trembled: "The power contained within is so strong, far exceeding any weapon I have used before!"

Hearing this, the others also cast their gazes over, curiosity appearing in their eyes.

Cao Xing explained: "This bow is called Elegy of Time, and it is a Legendary weapon."

Upon hearing "Legendary Weapon," the three people on the scene constricted their pupils, and expressions of surprise gradually appeared on their faces.

Renice gripped the weapon in her hand, feeling even more at a loss.

"Lord—this…"

"This kind of weapon is too precious… Are you really going to give it to me?"

She appeared somewhat unconfident.

Cao Xing waved his hand and chuckled, "No need to say more, just bind it, Renice."

"As one of the members who has followed me the longest, you have already proven your loyalty and courage, and you deserve to own this Legendary Great Bow."

"In the near future, I will also find a way to help you break through to the Legendary realm."

Speaking of this, his gaze turned to the small-statured Dragon Blood Warrior beside him.

"Including you, Commander Bo Jie, it is the same."

"I will also find a way to help you improve your strength."

Upon hearing this, expressions of gratitude appeared in both of their eyes.

They said solemnly at the same time, "Yes, Lord!"

"We will certainly not fail your expectations!"

After speaking, Renice bound the Legendary Great Bow.

[Your territory member: Renice Hawkeye has successfully bound the Legendary weapon: [Song of the Years], title [star picker] has been upgraded, Luck +10—]

Seeing the system notification, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction once again.

Then he looked at the three and said, "Alright, you may go back and rest."

"Yes!"

After speaking, they turned and left the area.

Renice held the great bow in her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Soon, only Cao Xing remained here.

"Very good, now what needs to be prepared is mostly done, including the distribution of these items and equipment."

"Now there is still some time before that ancient ruin opens, and Hilton and Jace will also need a few days to help me collect food."

"In other words, I shouldn't have anything to do in the near future."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation.

Ever since the Blood Chaos ended, it was like a thorn in his heart had been removed, and he couldn't help but become more cheerful.

Then, an exquisite organ appeared out of thin air in Cao Xing's hand.

The body of the organ was crafted from dark brown ancient wood, with simple patterns carved on the surface, and several green gemstones embedded on the keys.

It was the very last treasure from the Kingdom of Velen—Traveler's Lament.

Generally speaking, musical instruments like this are mostly used for performance and do not possess any special effects.

But since it could be collected into the treasury by that guy Zevelin, it must not be an ordinary item.

He took a look at its attributes.

[Traveler's Lament (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Musical Instrument / Weapon]

(Note: Musical instruments are a special type of weapon; they can be used for performance, and in some special combat classes, such as Musician, Melody Envoy, etc., they can exert corresponding combat effects.)

[Equip Level: Level 50 and above]

[Equip Requirement: Expert-level Musical Instrument Mastery or higher]

[Attack Power: 3124 ~ 3325]

[Bonus Effect 1: Spirit +1200, Agility +1000, Attack Speed +20%]

[Bonus Effect 2: Heavenly Sound (When played through the organ, the melodious music can strike directly at the listener's heart, immersing them in it, increasing their sensory perception by 100%, and temporarily boosting the listener's focus and emotional resonance)]

[Bonus Effect 3: Poem of Freedom (When played through the organ, it causes all friendly units to enter the "Poem of Freedom" status, Dodge Chance +30%, Movement Speed +20%, lasting 10 minutes)]

[Bonus Effect 4: Poem of the Soul (Epic-level effect, when played, it can cause all enemy units that hear the music to enter the 'Soul Soothing' status, Movement Speed and Attack Speed -30%, and have a 35% chance to enter a brief 'Confused' status, attacking surrounding friendly units. The effect lasts 5 minutes, Cooldown: 1 hour)]

(Equipment Introduction: In my youth, I followed the trajectory of the wind, resolutely leaving Ron Town to become a traveler wandering the four directions. After many years, I have returned here again. Ron Town is still here, but I have already grown old. This place has become the end and the beginning for a traveler—Traveler Molly)

After reading the attributes of this organ, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"It can be used as both a musical instrument and a weapon?"

"Interesting—"

Moreover, the several bonus effects on the organ were also quite good.

Not only did it come with group buffs and group status effects, but it could also enhance performance effects.

Likewise, such a special weapon had very high equipment requirements.

It not only required Level 50 or above, but also Expert-level Musical Instrument Mastery or higher.

Clearly, there was only one person in the territory who could use this instrument—Gwyneth.

As a Bard, she possessed Master-level Musical Instrument Mastery + Master-level Singing Mastery.

She was a rare and valuable life-skill talent.

Moreover, ever since Gwyneth recovered her voice, every night, she would perform at the territory's tavern.

When she sang, the entire territory would fall into an unprecedented tranquility.

Everyone would subconsciously stop what they were doing and listen carefully to her performance.

In the entire territory, only that melodious music and beautiful singing could be heard.

From this, one could see how astonishing Gwyneth's singing ability was.

Cao Xing secretly sighed, "Before this, Gwyneth always used an ordinary lute when playing."

"If she switched to this 'Traveler's Lament,' the effect would definitely be even more outrageous."

Thinking of this, he went straight to the territory's library.

"Creak!"

As the library door was pushed open, the air was filled with a faint scent of books and wood.

It was very quiet here.

During the day, there would be no one else in the library except for Gwyneth.

Only at night, after the staff finished their day's work, would they come here to listen to Gwyneth's lectures.

Cao Xing, familiar with the way, found the bard in the corner.

Since she didn't need to perform, Gwyneth wasn't wearing those brightly colored performance costumes, but had instead changed into a simple and elegant long dress.

The hem of the dress hung down gently, making her look even more gentle and moving.

She was sitting quietly on a chair, with a small wooden table in front of her, occasionally writing a few lines of elegant handwriting on paper.

It is worth mentioning that when Gwyneth first arrived at this territory, she was only a Tier 3 Bard.

Later, when Cao Xing helped the staff improve on a large scale, he also brought her along.

After two or three months, Gwyneth's level had also reached Level 50.

Although she didn't have a combat class, relying on her powerful perception, she still sensed Cao Xing's arrival.

She raised her head, her clear eyes looking toward Cao Xing.

Then she nodded slightly, "Good day—"

She spoke softly, her voice like the sound of a flowing clear spring, carrying a rhythm that was refreshing and delightful.

It must be said that just listening to her speak was an indescribable enjoyment.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and asked, "Have you gotten used to living in my territory for these past few months?"

Gwyneth put down the brush in her hand and responded softly, "Yes—"

"This is a territory blessed by the gods, and I like it here very much."

Cao Xing smiled.

Without any extra nonsense, he took out that peculiar organ from his backpack and handed it over.

"Here, Gwyneth."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately raised her head, gazing at the organ in Cao Xing's hand.

A moment later, seemingly realizing the extraordinariness of this organ, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Then she stretched out her fair and slender hands, gently taking it.

After this period of recuperation, the frostbite on her hands had long since disappeared, and the backs of her hands were as smooth as jade.

Her fingertips gently touched the strings on it.

"Zheng zheng~"

A crisp and melodious sound rang out, containing a certain unique charm that made one's spirit soar.

Gwyneth looked down at the organ, the corners of her lips curling up slightly, "What a truly fine instrument—"

Pausing for a moment, she raised her head and asked softly, "Is this a gift for me?"

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "You could say that."

Upon hearing this, a bright smile instantly bloomed on Gwyneth's face.

"Thank you, I really like this gift." Her voice was soft and sincere, holding the organ in her arms as if it were a precious treasure.

[You have gifted your territory resident: Gwyneth a favorite gift, Loyalty has increased, Current Loyalty: 100]
