CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 254 EPIC-LEVEL TALENT: CLIP BROTHER

Su Xi had always been known for having the most beautiful legs in the territory, though she never wore stockings before.

This time, she finally fulfilled all of Lin Rui’s expectations, relaxed fully, and lay with her soft, delicate body sleeping until sunlight streamed onto the white bedspread.

In the dawn, her beautiful legs reflected an enticing light.

When Lin Rui got up and stretched comfortably, he found that Su Xi had been awake for a while, resting her cheek with one hand and looking at him.

Lin Rui casually caressed her smooth, beautiful legs and asked, "What time is it?"

"Almost ten o’clock."

"Then we still have time for another round." Lin Rui held her delicate body and rolled over to press her beneath him.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!" Came a deliberately casual cough from outside, causing Lin Rui to pause his actions and look down at Su Xi.

Su Xi gazed up at Lin Rui’s face, which was close enough to touch, and calmly said, "Judging by the footsteps, it’s your civil servant, Caroline. She came early this morning and has already been back and forth several times."

Lin Rui was speechless. Why were these people so fond of eavesdropping?

Yuyu being idle makes sense, but you, a civil servant, coming here too?

Caroline didn’t bother to pretend, decisively saying, "Lord, if you are awake, could you please hurry to handle some political responsibilities?"

Don’t you know how unusually excited men can be in the morning?

Lin Rui really didn’t want to come out.

Su Xi held his neck, patted him, and said, "You go wash up, and I’ll go with you. You take care of washing up, and I’ll take care of you."

Half an hour later, Lin Rui walked out of the room feeling refreshed; there’s nothing wrong with an older woman-younger man relationship, after all.

Caroline’s face blushed slightly, but she quickly reported, "Lord, I apologize for coming to you so urgently. But I’m afraid of losing the epic-level talent, so I am indeed compelled."

Epic-level talent!

The talent discovered after yesterday’s champion celebration feast.

A person who came to visit at random and hasn’t decided to stay yet.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "It’s indeed important. Where is the person now?"

Caroline said, "Touring the territory. I let the Woodland Fairy show him around more."

Lin Rui asked, "Is the champion celebration over?"

"Such a large-scale celebration must last at least a day. All the decorations and food are still there, but the prizes have been distributed."

Lin Rui said with a smile, "Then there’s no problem. He can’t leave for the time being. When was he found?"

"This morning, after the townsfolk finished celebrating and returned home one after another. He has been wandering around the territory for three or four hours."

"Have you talked with him?"

Caroline hesitated a bit, blushing, and said, "He talked to me. He’s an odd person."

"One can imagine. If one’s talent is epic-level, they’re either a genius or an eccentric."

Lin Rui then asked, "Why haven’t you slept? We haven’t slept for days and nights, we should rest for a bit."

Speaking of sleeping, Caroline yawned and said, "I’ll hang on a bit longer. You guys have to go to the plane war in a few hours. I’ll sleep soundly once you’ve left."

"That’s tough on you. How is the territory’s political situation going? Anything needing attention?"

"The Rare Level Power Armor: Vengeance Goddess has been crafted. Terion has already handed it to twenty-six soldiers, and they, led by Su Ye, have successfully completed the super-tier advancement."

"The Holy Grail Knight advanced? What’s the super-tier trait?" Lin Rui’s eyes lit up immediately.

Some of the Holy Grail Knights were Tier Five Knights converted directly, and through constant battles, they certainly accumulated enough experience to level up.

Caroline said, "The super-tier trait is ’Goddess’s Generosity.’ When the Holy Grail Knight’s life value falls below 10%, it deals divine damage equivalent to 50% of the lost life value to all enemies within a 50-meter radius, and simultaneously restores the same amount of life value to itself. This can be used once a day, but if a war lasts more than a day and night, the daily usage count increases by one."

This is pushing the Holy Grail Knight’s fatigue-free trait to the extreme. If they fight for eight days and nights, it would be unbelievable. Each knight would essentially have nine lives. Every time their life value is nearly empty, they would fully revive, greatly irritating the opponents.

However, this trait seems quite vulnerable to execution moves. With only 10% life value needed to trigger, it’s almost like dancing on the edge of a blade.

"Also, the fallen soldiers have been revived by the sacred treasures."

"What? Revived?" Lin Rui asked in surprise, "How so quickly! Then..."

"Then what?" Caroline asked curiously, "Isn’t this a good thing? Why does the Lord look a bit disappointed?"

"Disappointed? You misunderstood!" Lin Rui declared firmly, "I just regret not witnessing the awe-inspiring moment of the sacred treasures."

"What’s so awe-inspiring? Just twelve goblins lined up and stretched out their hands before the soldiers’ spirit coffins, and all the soldiers stood up one after another."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that. What else did you expect?"

Lin Rui suddenly gasped, asking, "Did you feel a chill?"

"No," Caroline saw the hair on Lin Rui’s arm standing on end, his goosebumps rising, and suspiciously asked, "Lord, you haven’t... er... indulged too much, have you?"

That’s not funny at all.

I’m a man with maxed-out recovery ability. Drawing blood with a syringe wouldn’t weaken me.

But if Caroline didn’t feel the chill and only I did.

Lin Rui decisively changed the subject: "Has Audrey returned?"
