Chapter 82: Advancing to Level 5 and Creating a Golem
At the fifth stage, you will get some new hero points, but your mental state has already reached LV5. If you want to continue upgrading to LV6, you must obtain hero skill points above the extraordinary level. Now this amount of hero skill points cannot be upgraded any further, so you can only choose another one.
Divine Body LV1: Constitution +50%, Endurance +50%, Recovery +50%, Resistance +20%.
Divine Power LV1: Strength +100%, ignoring restricted spells and effects below the third ring.
Super Speed LV1: Speed +50%, Reflex +20%.
Li Qing glanced at the three optional hero skills, pondered for a moment, and chose the third one, Swiftness.
It's very simple, the faster you run, the faster you run, and the ability to run is equivalent to the ability to save your life.
To be honest, these three items are actually very strong. Li Qing thought that if he could accumulate enough hero skill points before being promoted to the sixth level, he would at least upgrade these hero skills to level five and be promoted to the extraordinary level with the strongest attitude.
And if he can get hero skill points in the future, he will use them himself first.
I have already been promoted to the fifth level, and my rank is as high as that of Dragon Law and Dragon Guard, so I also need enough combat power.
After clicking on the hero skill, the expertise column immediately opened, and a standard three-choice option appeared in front of him.
Specialty 1: Speed +20%.
Specialty 2: Reflex +5%.
Specialty 3: Flexibility +20%.
Li Qing thought about it for a moment and chose the third specialty, Agility +20%.
The moment he completed the options, Li Qing felt like a cool breeze was pouring into his body from the soles of his feet, quickly penetrating his whole body, making him feel very relaxed.
I tried jogging in the hall for a while, and I felt very light and my speed increased significantly.
He didn't try for long. After adapting to the newly increased speed, he devoted his energy to studying.
Advancing to level five is just the beginning, there are still many things to do.
First, he took the time to learn some classic spells and commonly used spells below the fifth ring, as well as some special spells.
In addition to studying, continue to practice various runes and magic circles, and try to be familiar with them, so that you can know what runes they are composed of just by looking at them.
In addition, there was not much pressure after the fifth level, and Li Qing began to learn about golems.
In the meantime, some theoretical knowledge related to magic pattern construction was mixed in to prepare for the final magic pattern construction.
He did not bury his head in study and ignore what was happening outside the window. Instead, he communicated with his tutor from time to time while studying. He did not hide the fact that he was learning these things.
Not only did he tell the truth, but he also told his instructor his learning progress from time to time, laying a solid foundation for his future genius performance.
While he was immersed in his studies and expanding the city, apprentices would occasionally try to contact him, asking for details of the previous battle of Hashim City.
Among them, Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan even asked him for relevant details through their tutor.
Li Qing didn't know it at first, but his mentor told him that Zhang Jishan and Cao Wenyuan had formed a coalition with six war lord apprentices under their mentors, preparing to do something big before the apprentices under the two five-star mentors arrived.
It has now been confirmed that the apprentices under the two five-star mentors will enter the plane fragments in the tenth month of their development, which is only two months at the earliest and no more than three months at the latest. They don't have much time left.
In addition, data recently monitored by Blackrock Spire shows that the Winds of Chaos will begin to affect the plane in the thirteenth month.
At the same time, it has been monitored that the Scourge Lord in this Chaos Wind is an undead, which can also be called the Wind of Undead. When the Chaos Wind affects the plane fragments, the number of undead inside the plane will soar.
Of course, the Winds of Chaos began to affect the plane in the thirteenth month, and the Scourge Lord actually approached and invaded the plane at least after the fifteenth month.
It is now between the seventh and eighth months, and there is really not much time left for them.
Li Qing considered that he had too many things to learn and had to build a city, so he probably didn't have the time to capture the second snakeman city.
But it’s hard to say, let’s see the situation first.
Facing Cao Wenyuan and Zhang Jishan's inquiries, Li Qing only thought for a few seconds before replying:
"Personally, I suggest you find a weak target instead of the Serpent Man City. But if you insist, I suggest you lure out the Archmage from the Serpent Man City and kill him. The Mage Tower with the Archmage in charge is too powerful for you to capture."
Cao Wenyuan immediately replied:
"If we unite, we can temporarily summon two extraordinary-level fighters. Is there no chance for this?"
Li Qing shook his head decisively:
"Unless you can summon two extraordinary wizards or sorcerers, it will be impossible to attack the city head-on."
This is no joke, he was able to attack the city relying on a large number of elite cannon fodder, plus thirteen consecutive meteorites that exhausted the energy of the Mage Tower. Unless they can do the same, there is no way they can outlast the archmage who sits in the Mage Tower.
So what if there were two extraordinary fighters? Even if there were two sixth-order dragons, they would still be...
Well, the two dragons are still different.
But the problem is that the two extraordinary fighters in their hands definitely cannot be dragons, or they are not at that level.
However, although he was not optimistic about them, they were the ones who made the decision. He just gave them some advice and then told them some precautions and let them consider it themselves.
Li Qing did not hide anything and said everything he could.
Attacking a city can only rely on hard power. Without strength, everything is empty talk. Anyway, he won't cheat them. It's none of his business whether they can take it down or not.
Not long after, Li Qing received news that the coalition forces led by Cao Wenyuan and others were setting off.
Moreover, there were more than a dozen coalition forces that set out, and they had gained several allies during this period.
In addition, when chatting with his mentor, Li Qing learned from his mentor that, influenced by him, many of his mentor's apprentices united to form a joint army to attack the snake city, and the fastest ones have already taken action.
He could only wish them good luck and that was all.
The war lord was born for war, so it is reasonable for him to fight for profit.
If you succeed, your strength will be greatly improved; if you fail, everything will be lost.
Ignoring all this, Li Qing closed the door, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and continued studying.
However, it is worth mentioning that shortly after he captured Hashim City some time ago, he was promoted to the chief apprentice under his mentor. The former chief Zhang Jishan was squeezed to second place, and the former second place Cao Wenyuan was squeezed to third place.
The two did not express any dissatisfaction with this, which was considered as tacit agreement.
The production of a constructed golem is divided into two stages. The first stage is to make the golem's frame, which is the golem itself.
The material used for the clay golem is mud, a special kind of clay, which requires some magical materials, some flesh and blood of Warcraft mixed in it, and then the golem itself is made.
Generally speaking, golems can be divided into humanoid and beastoid forms. The set of golems that Li Qing got included both humanoid and beastoid forms, but the ones made by the snakeman wizard were all humanoid.
But this human figure is not a human in the traditional sense, but is more like a robot, with a human upper body and the lower body consisting of either tracks, rollers, or two thick legs.
Because it does not need armor, the body of the mud golem is also very thick, sometimes with a diameter of about one meter, like a square.
It is worth mentioning that rock golems and mud golems are divided into combat type and living type.
The combat types are mostly rugged and equipped with weapons.
Most of the living types are slim and flexible, and can do many jobs, such as logging, mining, stone cutting and so on.
Golems like the ones that serve tea and water like servants are high-end types with more refined workmanship. They have very high requirements for manufacturing technology and are usually more than a hundred times more expensive than normal combat types.
The flesh and blood of Warcraft, ordinary ferocious beasts, and murlocs can be used. The main purpose is to mix the flesh and blood into the clay, and use the viscosity of the flesh and blood to make the soil more solid. At the same time, when it is given vitality in the future, the limbs will be relatively softer and not too stiff.
Generally speaking, the higher-end the golem, the higher the level of Warcraft flesh and blood it requires.
It was not difficult for Li Qing to create the golem. He directly went to his instructor and bought a set of golem appearance illustrations. He selected an image of a combat golem in the appearance of a heavy infantryman, and then pinched one out in the space in his palm according to the illustrations.
Then, he bought some processed monster blood and mixed it with some magic materials to make magic ink.
Then use magic ink to draw complex magic circles on the surface of the golem .
This was not difficult for Li Qing as he had superb skills in drawing magic circles and could draw them directly inside the space in his palm.
A construct golem has several sets of magic arrays, but only five basic sets are required.
One set is used to reinforce the body of the golem, after all, the mud golem itself is made of mud.
One set is the golem's power system.
One set is the golem’s combat system, and if it is a life-type golem, it is a work system.
One set is the golem’s central control system.
One is the overall framework system of the golem, which is responsible for connecting all systems and enabling successful driving.
In addition, there are some additional systems that can be added to provide additional abilities for the golem.
For example, the jumping system increases the jumping distance and height of the golem.
Acceleration system, increases the golem's movement speed.
Strength system, increases the power of golem's attack.
Various magic resistance systems, increasing the golem's resistance to damage from different elemental energies, and more.
The more systems are added, the higher the technical level required of the maker, and the stronger the fighting power of the golem will naturally be.
However, this increase is not unlimited. The Mud Golem is restricted by the material structure, and the system that can be increased is limited. Theoretically, the upper limit of the enhancement is level five. No matter how the Mud Golem is strengthened, it is impossible to reach the level of level six.
Li Qing didn't do anything fancy at the beginning and only used five basic systems.
Except for the first few times when I failed due to lack of expertise, I succeeded after the fifth time and all the subsequent times were successful.
At this time, he was promoted to the fifth level, and his heroic skill Divine Eclipse was also upgraded to LV5. Both his mental power and mana limits were far beyond what they were before. His mental power and mana recovery was as high as 800%, and he could practice continuously for more than a dozen times without stopping.
After the magic circle is successfully carved, you still need to find a spirit to integrate into the golem's central control system to control the golem.
There are two kinds of essences. One is elemental essence, and the earth element is the best.
The other is the soul, which is divided into two types.
One is a soul with self-awareness, or a soul that has lost its self-consciousness, that is, a soul fragment.
The former can use some powerful warrior souls, and the golem can inherit some of the combat experience, which will make the golem stronger.
The latter has a blank consciousness and needs to use spells to infuse golem-standard combat experience and skills. Their combat power is generally not as good as those with flexible consciousness, but they are more obedient and will do anything they are told to do without hesitation, even if it means sending themselves to death.
Although a soul with self-awareness is strong, it is not very obedient. If it is asked to die, it will definitely disobey orders.
Although Li Qing needs strong people, how strong can a clay puppet be? He doesn't want to create an ancestor who is mediocre.
Of course, another main reason for choosing a blank soul is that it is easy to deal with.
With the soul essence of each unit as the core, it is easy to condense the consciousness core of a construct golem.
Note that it is ordinary soul essence. The pure soul essence in his hand is also fine, but it is too luxurious and he can't bear to part with it. It is better to just take some.
After all, they are cannon fodder.
Unless it is a construct golem comparable to the extraordinary like the Iron Golem, it would be willing to use a pure soul essence as the core of consciousness.
The difference between pure soul essence and ordinary soul essence as the core of consciousness lies in the potential and the upper limit of the controllable system.
To give a simple example, the consciousness core made of mixed soul essence can only carry 5 basic systems, and can only drive mud golems and rock golems, but cannot drive powerful steel golems.
The consciousness core made of pure soul essence can control more than fifteen systems, can drive powerful steel golems, can drive even more powerful diamond golems, obsidian golems, and so on.
After making five clay golems in one breath, Li Qing took out a portion of the soul essence that had been prepared earlier, and then used magic to condense it into a soul core, and then injected it into the head of the clay golem.
Then use the Golem Activation Technique to activate the integrated soul core.
Less than ten seconds after the spell was cast, the complex magic patterns on the body of the previously motionless Clay Golem suddenly lit up, and then the light slowly faded and merged into the golem's body.
Then, the cold eyes of the golem suddenly lit up, and at that moment it felt a breath of life, as if it had suddenly come alive.
The golem became silent after coming to life, standing still without moving.
This is the difference between a soul that is integrated into consciousness and a simple soul essence. The former has autonomy, while the latter is just a puppet machine that will not move without orders.
Li Qing immediately ordered:
"Two steps forward!"
The golem immediately raised its legs and took two steps forward, then stood at attention again.
"Five more steps and turn the corner."
The clay golem raised its legs again, took five steps forward, and then stopped moving.
Li Qing thought for a moment and said:
"Turn right and go five steps forward."
The golem immediately turned right and took five steps forward.
Next, Li Qing did not give any more orders. He just came to the front of the golem, reached out and touched the golem's forehead, and began to mutter something.
