Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2031 The Orc Alliance is attacking?!
Today is a day off during the Great Week holiday, and the restaurants and teahouses are quite crowded. Among them, you can even see many elves, which makes Wright feel very strange.

To avoid attracting attention, Prince Morton took Wright directly to a private room on the second floor.

Meanwhile, on the stage in the teahouse lobby, a storyteller was telling the customers who were having morning tea about the city's morning news.

Despite the development of the times and the emergence of more efficient and convenient information dissemination methods within the Great Zhou Dynasty, storytellers have not been eliminated.

Because of their excellent storytelling skills, storytellers often bring news and stories to life more vividly, and they can also interact with the audience, providing a better experience and making them popular among some people.

For these people, the restaurants and teahouses felt incomplete without storytellers; something just didn't feel right.

"That's how you found out about it?"

When Wright came before, Da Zhou had only been in the new district for a short time. The hardware facilities were still under construction, and the software facilities were even less complete. He had never met these storytellers before, so he has learned a lot now.

During this time, baskets of dim sum were quickly delivered into the private room.

The aroma made Wright's mouth water. Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten this in a long time, but it tasted even better than he remembered.

Enjoying snacks and tea while listening to the storyteller's news program, two hours passed quietly.

After the elves made contact with the Great Zhou and obtained tea, they also developed a love for tea. However, the experience in the elven forest was far inferior to that in this teahouse.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Prince Morton took Wright out of the teahouse and went shopping.

Wright figured it hadn't been long since he last came to Da Zhou, yet the changes in the city streets and buildings on both sides were far greater than he had expected.

The entire city has visibly developed better than it did back then.

To be honest, this level of development efficiency was exactly what he wanted, but after working in the Elf Forest for several years, he hadn't seen much progress.

Looking at the streets and buildings of the Great Zhou City before him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.

In the border city of Da Zhou, the most bustling place is the large commercial street located in the city center.

It's called a commercial street, but it doesn't refer to a specific street. Instead, it encompasses several surrounding streets, integrating shopping, dining, and entertainment.

At a glance, among the passersby, there were humans, goblins, and elves. The three races gathered here in a rather harmonious way, a scene that Wright found quite peculiar.

While Wright was being led around the city by Prince Morton, Eredar, located on the border of the new district, received a gift from the capital.

As the heavy wooden crate was opened, a set of dark, deep black armor, which even under the sunlight had a restrained luster, immediately came into his view.

Clearly, Zhou Xu had not forgotten his original promise.

Undoubtedly, this is an enchanted armor set, but its level is only the excellent green grade.

As mentioned before, they don't currently have enough suitable enchanting runes to craft a set of blue, excellent-grade enchanted armor.

They tried their best to restore the appearance, but the function is very different.

For example, one of the major advantages of Eredar's Thorn Armor was that it could be used in conjunction with his own Mantra Art 'Shadow Thorns'.

By enhancing their weapons and armor, 'Shadow Thorns' can be fully integrated into their offense and defense, thereby gaining better support and assistance.

However, at this stage, the Great Zhou obviously cannot replicate this.

So they simply took a different approach, at least making their Great Zhou version of the 'Thorn Armor' have some unique features, so that it could be distinguished from the original.

As a military general who revered martial prowess, Ereda naturally had a certain fondness for weapons and armor. He was quite excited to see the set of armor sent by the Great Zhou.

The moment Ereda held it, her first thought was how light it was!
His 'Black Knight' class, in terms of type, belongs to the heavy armor knight. In addition, since dark elves have excellent physical qualities, they all wear heavy armor with better defensive performance. The Thorn Armor is no exception; it is a proper set of heavy armor.

However, at this moment, the armor in his hand was surprisingly light compared to the Thorn Armor he had worn before, feeling as if it weighed only half as much.

This made Ereda subconsciously think...

"Could they have cut corners?"

However, upon closer inspection, Eredar quickly confirmed that the new armor had no issues with its thickness or hardness.

This unconsciously aroused Ereda's anticipation, and she quickly put it on.

If the weight of a suit of armor is halved, the difference in how it feels to wear it is very noticeable.

At this moment, Ereda felt as light as a feather, and her movements became much more agile.

This made Ereda realize that it was not just a matter of reducing weight.

Indeed, the armor itself comes with a 'speed enhancement' buff, which can be triggered in two ways: passive and active.

The passive effect is enabled by default, saving more energy. Considering the strength of Eredar warriors at the Transcendent Realm, the improvement is estimated to be between three and five percent.

The active effect is triggered by a mantra command, which consumes more energy, but the improvement is estimated to be between 8% and 10%.

It depends on the specific situation. After all, it's just an excellent-level piece of equipment, and you can't have too high expectations for the enhancement effect when worn by a martial artist in the Vertical and Horizontal Realm.

The armorsmith has taken a different approach this time. This set of armor is already considered top-tier among excellent-grade equipment.

Regardless, Ereda was quite satisfied with this novel experience, and for a moment, she didn't want to take it off.

"Now that I know you've received the new armor, could you please stop walking around in that old armor?"

When it came time for afternoon training, Jie Liancheng was utterly speechless as he watched Ereda, dressed in a suit of armor, walking around like she was on a fashion show.

"You wait for me!"

Before long, Xie Liancheng changed out of his training clothes and came out wearing a suit of armor.

"As if everyone else doesn't have one."

"..."

Zhou Chongshan couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

"Are you two children? How childish! You have to compare these things?"

Then, in a flash, he put on the armor.

Have you ever seen the heavily armored Trap Camp?! I haven't even shown off, and you guys are already showing off?!

During this time, Wei Qing, who happened to be passing by, was completely unaware of the situation. In the blink of an eye, he saw the three major combat forces of their military region standing there fully armed, a sight that startled him.

"The Orcish Alliance has attacked?!"
