Chapter 74: New Super Five-Star Hero - Dragon Vein Warlock Dragon Magic
He first sent the few injured soldiers back to be bandaged, and then he called over the fire mage who had just been transformed.
A great war was about to begin, so there was no need to hide at this time. He planned to use the two-star Fire Warlock hero transformation card, the dragon blood refined by 20,000 ogres, and a ray of original light to forcibly create a powerful Dragon Vein Warlock.
The only qualified soldiers under my command now are the fire mage soldiers.
Li Qing stood in front of the sorcerer, pressed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Kid, you are lucky. I need a strong hero, and this opportunity will fall on you."
The second-level fire mage said nervously:
"My Lord, I will prove to you that my bravery will be worthy of your efforts!"
Li Qing nodded, stretched out his hand, and a stream of fire appeared in his palm, instantly attracting the attention of many soldiers around him.
The dragon blood extracted from the bones of 20,000 ogres has almost used up all the dragon blood on hand.
A two-star Pyromancer hero transformation card.
A ray of original light with magical power.
The three combined into one, forming a force that could transform decay into magic, and was integrated into the body of the fire warlock.
A few seconds later, dragon flames as strong as the one when Long Shou transformed gushed out from his body. His bent body trembled violently, and his body expanded and tore apart rapidly. As the blood gushed out, it automatically caught fire, and the whole thing turned into a burning fire matrix, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.
"What a strong dragon power!"
When the Dragon Guardian transformed, it was only the dragon blood extracted from the bones of two thousand dog-headed men, and the light of origin was not used. After the transformation, it was only LV1 dragon blood.
Now this fire warlock has a fusion of dragon blood that is ten times richer, plus the original light. Although he does not have any divine power, the hero transformation card makes up for this shortcoming.
As the dragon flame slowly retracted and merged into the three-meter-tall body, the torn wounds on the body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a dragon might not much different from that of Long Shou slowly spread.
Li Qing opened his attribute panel immediately and saw at first glance that its template rating was exactly five stars.
The so-called super five-star means that it is stronger than the normal five-star hero template, but it fails to exceed five stars to reach the legendary level. It is between these two levels.
Perhaps all it takes is an opportunity or a leap forward to become a legendary hero.

Hero Skills: None.
Heroic Specialties: None.
Li Qing quickly opened the column of his hero skills, and immediately three options appeared in front of him. However, unlike Dragon Guard, in addition to the two hero skills of Dragon Breath and Dragon Scale that must appear in the bloodline of a giant dragon, the other one is a spell option.
After clicking it, ten first-level spells appeared for him to choose from.
The meaning is very clear and simple. In addition to bloodline, the heroic skills of the Dragon Vein Warlock also include spells corresponding to the warlock level.
A first-level sorcerer can choose first-level spells.
There is no need to hesitate, just choose Dragon Breath.
There is no first, second, or third level spell that is stronger than Dragon's Breath. You can't just choose a magic missile and use up some hero skill points.
As for the second hero spell option, similar to Dragon Guard, Li Qing chose Dragon Scale.
It is still necessary to have one attack and one defense in the early stage.
It is worth mentioning that the three specialty options that come out of Dragon Breath are slightly different from Dragon Guard. The first one increases the power, the second one increases the fan-shaped range, and the third one does not increase the distance of the dragon's breath ray form, but reduces the physical strength consumption when spewing dragon's breath by 20%.
In addition, the Dragon Vein Warlock not only has stronger mental power than the Dragon Guardian, but also has powerful magic power, and the dragon's breath can consume both physical strength and magic power.
Therefore, when Dragon Guardian is at the first level, he can only breathe out dragon's breath six times at most before his physical strength is exhausted, while Dragon Magician can breathe out dragon's breath thirteen times in one breath. Now his expertise reduces the consumption by another 20%, so he can breathe out dragon's breath sixteen times in a row when his physical strength and mana are full.
In addition, Dragon Magic also has three advanced abilities: spell penetration, spell enhancement, and dragon language.
Spell Penetration LV1: Ignore 20% of all resistances of the target.
Spell Power LV1: Spell power +20%.
Dragon Language: Dragon language. Cast spells in Dragon Language, spell power +100%, mana consumption -20%, no materials required for casting.
"good!"
After making his choice, Li Qing showed a rare smile on his face.
Level one dragon's breath is still dragon's breath, and it is quite powerful when used to defend a city.
As he made his choice, his talent began to take effect. Dragon scales slowly grew on Long Fa's body and slowly took shape. When he opened his eyes, Li Qing drew out his sword and pressed it on his shoulder, saying in a deep voice:
"In the name of the lord, I appoint you as a knight and give you the name Longfa. You must serve me loyally and do not let me down!"
Long Fa bowed his head respectfully in front of him and said in a humming voice:
"Your will is my will, and I will always be loyal to you until the end of my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing felt a second beacon of faith appear in his mind, which was the Dragon Law in front of him, and he had a devout belief in it from the beginning.
"very good!"
Li Qing was in a good mood, as he was celebrating the addition of a powerful subordinate and a devout believer.
By now he was certain that the main reason why Long Shou and Long Fa believed in him so devoutly and worshipfully was definitely because of that ray of original light. This unknown power condensed from the golden finger space had changed their minds.
You have to know that it has only been a month or two since the Dragon Law was purchased, and they have not had much communication during this period. Under normal circumstances, how could it become a devout belief in such a short time?
However, this is a good thing for a divine being like Li Qing, as it means he can use this method to gain devout believers in the future.
Or a true believer.
The light of origin is difficult to condense. It takes at least two months and at most three months to condense one .
But ordinary mysterious light spots can condense into one or two points a day. This cannot create devout believers, but there is no problem in becoming a true believer under the influence of this.
Although true believers are not as good as devout believers, they are also staunch believers. If the base is large enough, the power of faith gained will also be considerable.
Or it can be said that when the number of devout believers is small, true believers are the main force providing the power of faith.
It took less than a minute to complete all this.
The enemy's vanguard had reorganized and arrived at the foot of the city wall. Li Qing asked Long Fa to join the battle and told him not to engage in close combat, but just to stay on the city wall and spray down with dragon breath.
By the way, he took out twenty pure soul essences and forty pure flesh and blood essences to restore his strength. His strength was far inferior to Long Shou, and now basically one pill could restore most of his strength, which was enough for him to use for a long time.
Long Fa took the order and headed to the top of the city wall, while Li Qing opened his attribute panel and prepared to add points.
In addition to the hero skill points he had saved before, Li Qing had accumulated enough mana to advance to the third level two months ago and successfully completed the promotion.
It has been more than half a year since the development began. Advancing to the fourth level requires 200 mana points, and he has almost got them all.
The third level spiritual consciousness expertise increases meditation speed by 60%, for a total of 120% meditation speed. Two months ago, only 0.8 mana points could be accumulated a day, but in the past two months, a maximum of 1.1 mana points can be accumulated every day, for a total of 162 mana points.
38 mana remaining, daily...
"I still have a few hero skill points that I haven't used yet."
I had been thinking of saving it until I was promoted to level six and then using it all at once.
Now that I think about it, I should click on it first. Even if I put all my points on mental state, the meditation effect will be increased, and the speed of mana accumulation can also be increased.
Opening the hero's skill panel, there are still four items as usual, divine body, divine strength, divine speed and divine intelligence LV3.
Sanity LV3: Mana and mental power recovery speed +300%, mana and mental power consumption -30%, spells below the seventh ring do not require materials for casting.
This was chosen before, and he also used his expertise to increase the meditation effect, increasing the meditation effect by 60%.
Without any hesitation, the fourth hero skill point was directly placed on mind.
Then, an attribute that Li Qing expected appeared in front of him.
Sanity LV4: Mana and mental power recovery speed +500%, mana and mental power consumption -40%, casting of legendary spells and below does not require materials, obtain super magic skills: spell range LV1, spell penetration LV1, spell empowerment LV1, spell extreme effect LV1, spell delay LV1, silent spell LV1, spell instant cast LV1, spell expansion LV1.
Beyond that, expertise has also changed dramatically.
Expertise 1: Mana and mental power recovery speed +200%.
Feat 2: Increase the level of all metamagic skills by +1.
Expertise 3: Meditation effect +100%.
This was not something Li Qing had expected, but his mentor had once said that when any hero's skill is upgraded from level 3 to LV4, its power and effect will undergo a qualitative change.
The more powerful the hero's skills are, the greater the qualitative effect they produce.
Even a first-level spell like Scorch Ray, if you are willing to spend four hero skill points to upgrade it to level 4, its power will not be inferior to that of a sixth-level spell.
If a high-level spell can be upgraded to level four in one go, its power will be comparable to that of a legendary spell.
However, it is worth mentioning that there is a limit to the hero spells that can be selected with the hero skill points obtained at different levels. Even if you save the hero skill points you obtained from the first level and use them at the tenth level, you can only choose spells below the sixth ring, not above the sixth ring.
Likewise, the hero skill points gained at level 6 can only be used to purchase spells below the legendary level, and cannot be saved for use later at the legendary level.
As for the additional hero skill points obtained through spoils of war, they are determined by one's current rank.
If you are below level 6 when you obtain this hero skill point, it will only be effective on spells below level 6.
There was nothing to hesitate about. Even though the other two expertise options made him extremely envious, Li Qing still chose the meditation bonus.
The bonuses for the first three levels are 20%, 40%, 60%, and now 100%, for a total of 220% bonus.
Li Qing's current basic meditation speed is to accumulate a maximum of 0.5 mana per day, plus 220% which is 1.6 mana points.
There are only 38 mana points away from promotion to the fourth level, which will only take 24 days, less than a month.
To be honest, with the bonus of fourth-level meditation, his meditation speed is not much different from those of those with super five-star mental talent.
After completing the options, Li Qing let out a light breath and turned his attention to the siege that had already begun.
"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven!"
If I lose this battle, I will be seriously injured even if I can run.
If you win, you will become rich overnight.
This time the snakemen were serious. Not only did they send out a mixed infantry formation of snakemen and vassals, they also sent siege equipment from the rear.
Four ladders, four siege vehicles, a dozen catapults, and dozens of crossbow carts, poured along the avenue under the protection of numerous troops.
In addition, Li Qing also saw two war lizards that were more than 20 meters long eating, which was a preparation before the battle.
A steady stream of jackals, surrounded by siege vehicles and ladders, slowly approached the city wall under a hail of arrows. Li Qing did not go to the top of the city to fight, but opened the space in his palm at the back, moved out bundles of arrows and javelins, and sent civilians to transport them to various corners of the city to supply archers and infantry.
Before the enemy reaches the city, the infantry can shoot with javelins.
For this densely packed crowd, no skills are needed, just pick up the javelin and aim it down.
The snake-men army was not to be outdone. More than two thousand lizard-men archers formed a square formation and poured a rain of arrows onto the city walls.
It was as dense as rain, after all, there were so many of them.
If regular infantry were to be replaced by such a rain of arrows, they would definitely not be able to withstand it. The leather armor of the first-level infantry archers and the chain mail of the second-level infantry could not withstand such a dense rain of arrows. They would be shot to death just by shooting.
But unfortunately, they were all equipped with super strong synthetic leather armor that was as defensive as dragon skin, and the arrows could not penetrate them at all.
Unless you are unlucky and get shot directly in the face, you can't hurt them at all.
But there are very few such unlucky people. If they know that the face is unprotected, anyone with a normal brain will know how to protect the face from being shot.
In the first exchange of fire, the human side had the upper hand.
A large number of attacking gnolls and a small number of snakemen were shot to death, and no one on the human side survived.
But as the four siege vehicles and four ladders approached the city wall, everyone's expression became solemn, as the biggest test was coming.
A siege vehicle is a five-story siege tower with eight wheels. The bottom floor is a cart pushed by soldiers, and the other four floors are equipped with siege combat soldiers. The vehicle is about twelve to fifteen meters high, six meters wide and about ten meters .
This thing can directly ram into the city gate or wall, or it can get close to the wall and use its height to allow soldiers on each level inside to jump directly onto the wall.
As for the ladder, it consists of a vehicle body, several ladders and hooks.
There is a baffle under the car body with several sloping ladders inside. When approaching the city wall, several ladders can be connected and extended to form a ladder that extends all the way to the top of the city wall. Soldiers can rush to the top of the city wall along the ladder like walking up stairs.
The ladders are fixed with triangular plates, and there is a hook at the end that can hook onto the city wall.
The ladder body, the weight of the ladder and the soldiers underneath make it basically impossible to push it away when it is close to the city wall.
Li Qing did not have small catapults or crossbows, so in this situation he could only shoot the soldiers pushing the carts with arrows.
But there were too many siege soldiers, and they were equipped with special shields, some of which were hidden directly in the chariots, so the killing effect was very low.
"boom!"
The siege vehicle crashed heavily into the city wall, and the fourth baffle plate flush with the city wall and the fifth baffle plate above it were lowered. A large number of snakemen and jackals jumped onto the city wall with weapons and started fighting with the human soldiers gathered at the entrance of the siege vehicle.
