Chapter 740: Chapter 477: Earth Mages, Dark Night Forest Patrol [5K]

There are hidden truths worth exploring for Zong Shen, which could also be a hidden path for Wenresa’s future growth.

However, now is not the time. In the area where Zong Shen is currently located, it’s rare to see the active presence of the Elf Race.

He’ll have to wait until he goes to Lentax Giant City, then find a way to make contact with the "Eye of the Elf." After gradually establishing contact with the current Elf Race, he can then find a solution to Wenresa’s problem.

This is also a long-term plan, so there is no rush. After all, Wenresa herself has already been recruited by him.

Territory development must proceed step by step, one step at a time, with solid progress. Zong Shen has already got a fairly clear plan for this in his mind.

He watched Wenresa guide the Forest Patrol back into the ranks and only withdrew his gaze after a moment of brief contemplation.

Now, all the Tier Two and Three Recruitment Scrolls have been used up.

These warriors will all be accounted for under his Command Value.

Currently, his Universal Command Value is [132/288], and Cavalry Command Value is [107/300], leaving plenty of room.

The real major event next is the recruitment of Tier Four Soldiers.

Zong Shen held up seven Recruitment Scrolls of different colors and patterns with both hands.

He tossed them high into the open space and chose to activate the recruitment in unison.

Seven beams of light scattered down, transforming into seven spatial singularities.

The first to walk out of the spatial singularities were a man and a woman, both Intermediate Water Mages.

Compared to Tier Three Water Mages, their magic robes are tighter, with golden silk edges on the sleeves, hem, and collar.

Their chests are also adorned with a badge featuring a blue wave.

Even the magic wands they hold are much more exquisite, crafted from carved secret silver, with refined gold threads tied around the front, middle, and back sections.

The wand is also embedded with a water-blue magic gemstone, but instead of being at the top of the wand, it is set in the middle.

The entire wand, with its gold and silver contrast and water-blue gemstone, looks as aesthetically pleasing as a piece of art.

After stepping out of the spatial singularities, they first glanced around the surroundings and then fixed their eyes on Zong Shen.

They slowly moved forward, lifting one side of their robe with one hand, holding the magic wand in front of their chest with the other, and knelt on one knee before Zong Shen.

"In the name of the Water Spirit."

"Intermediate Water Mages, Church Deacon Molly/Hayes, report to you."

"Great Lord, may your power be like the rushing rivers."

These two Intermediate Water Mages, compared to the Tier Three Water Technique users, have an additional title of Church Deacon of the Tide Church.

This didn’t surprise Zong Shen, just like Doris and Favide among the Fire Mages, who also wear a Flame Badge on their chest, supposedly issued by the Fire Mage Association.

The same case is likely true for these two water mages. Different elemental mages have different organizations and traits, which is quite normal.

"Rise, and welcome to you both."

"As you can see, my territory needs excellent mages like you."

Zong Shen kept it simple, and the two of them also stood up slowly.

His gaze swept over Molly/Hayes. Both have an Excellent Level talent, but nothing particularly outstanding.

Although each holds one Tier Four Water Element skill, it’s regretful that neither possesses a Tier Four Summoning Skill.

Those who can master Tier Four Summoning Skills are a rare sight even among Tier Three mages, and equally hard to find among Tier Four Mages.

Even so, Tier Four Mages are still very powerful; those Tier Four Group Attack Magic are not to be trifled with.

His gaze lingered for a while before finally settling on Molly.

She is a female Water Mage with slightly curly black hair falling just over her shoulders.

Her appearance may not be exceptionally stunning, but she is certainly above average.

In fact, individuals with magic talent often possess a distinctive aura, complemented by postnatal meditation training and development. Unless their looks were damaged in battle, their attractiveness never falls short.

Including our hard-working Favide, although his behavior might be a bit silly, he is undoubtedly a handsome golden-haired man among ordinary people.

Putting aside the issue of looks for now.

The important thing is that the attributes of these Tier Four Water Techniques are at least one-third higher than those of the Tier Three Water Techniques.

At this moment, an Intermediate Wind Mage also walked out of a spatial singularity.

The light blue color of his magic robe is eye-catching, setting him apart from the two Intermediate Water Mages.

This Wind Mage is a handsome man with chestnut-colored hair combed into a three-seven part.

He wore a cheerful smile, moved with the agility of leaves swirling in the wind, each step seemed like a dance.

He held a magic wand about fifty centimeters long, narrow at the front and wide at the back.

Its material is peculiar, resembling a light blue jade. On the surface, it appears devoid of any runes or marks, nor does it feature flashy magic gemstones.

The difference between a magic wand and a magic staff is significant, though their functions are similar.

Both are meant to enhance Magic Damage while boosting magic sensing and casting ability.

In other words, mages can also perform spells barehanded.

"You two..."

"Please step aside."

"The great Lord is waiting for my allegiance."

This Intermediate Wind Mage said in a boisterous manner.

Hearing this, Zong Shen showed an intrigued expression.

The two Intermediate Water Mages slightly turned and stepped aside.

"Wow!"

"Great Lord, you are even more handsome than I imagined!"

He said somewhat flamboyantly upon seeing Zong Shen, instantly switching into a flattering mode.

Seeing Zong Shen smile but remain silent, he hastily smoothed out the creases in his magic robe.

Only after ensuring all folds were straightened did he kneel on one knee before Zong Shen.
