Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 10: Halfling Rogue
It was only a distance of a few hundred meters, which would take less than . However, before they arrived, another militiaman fell down forever.
Not only because they were already seriously injured before, but also because those giant spiders not only had sharp teeth and fangs, their attacks were also poisonous.
This poison is completely ineffective against small fire elements, but it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the already seriously injured militiamen.
But when Levi finally met up with the reinforcements from the village, the situation finally changed a little .
Their strength was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary militiamen, and I don’t know if they often hunted these big spiders, so they seemed very experienced. With the small fire elements in front attracting hatred, they killed them all easily. Then Levi received a new combat evaluation.
Slightly at a disadvantage, the experience value gain multiplier is 90%.
This made him secretly curse his bad luck, but he soon turned his anger into joy, because after killing the giant spider, the village guards nodded to Levi, and then ran back quickly, without any intention of collecting the spoils, and seemed to be busy standing guard.
The only militiaman left beside Levi quickly took out a spider egg and a glowing ring from under the corpse. After following the battle many times, he had gradually learned some things.
Seeing this, Levi nodded repeatedly. Yes, not only was he extremely active in battle, but he was also good at handling things. It was worth it that he specially saved him.
Elemental Resistance Ring (Light) (Green – Rare) increases light element resistance by 2.
The tips for spider eggs are similar to those for the previous kobold eggs, both of which can be hatched. However, the camp of this monster called Giant Jungle Spider is chaotic neutral, which still does not match his camp. It seems that he can only find an opportunity to sell it.
At this moment, the only remaining thief hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Master Mage, are we just going to leave the body like this?"
"Hmm? Can you do anything about them?"
Levi finally had time to see the other person's attire clearly. He didn't pay attention to it just now, but now it seems that the other person is undoubtedly a thief. In addition to a crossbow, there are two short daggers hanging on his waist, as well as a small tool bag, and he doesn't know what is in it.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued: "Thank you for your help. I'll leave the bodies of these guys to you. This is what you deserve."
The thief was overjoyed, but then declined: "I've been learning the technique of applying poison to weapons recently, and the poison sacs of these giant jungle spiders are just right, but I only need two. Without your summoned creatures, our battle this time might not have been so smooth."
After saying this, the thief looked at the small fire element that was still a few meters away with awe. If it weren't for its appearance, they would not have made the decision so quickly.
After looking at the guards in the distance for a few times and then at the little man in front of him, Levi suddenly became interested: "Are you also a guard here? Moreover, they don't seem to be human? Nor are they high elves?"
High elves all have long pointed ears and extremely outstanding looks. The militiamen in front of them not only look much more ordinary, but their ears are not that long. However, it can still be seen that they are somewhat different from normal humans and seem a bit like mixed-race.
The halfling thief grinned and said, "No, Master Mage, this is a half-elf village, where the half-elves and humans stay, and I am a halfling thief trapped here."
"Can you tell me more about half-elves?"
Anyway, we are already in a safe area and have nothing to do. Moreover, Levi is very interested in the little guy in front of him. The other party's intelligence is obviously different from that of ordinary people.
After taking a quick look at the guards at the entrance of the village, the halfling thief whispered, "In fact, the life of half-elves is very difficult. The elves think that this is a stain on their noble bloodline, while humans are jealous of the longevity and beauty of half-elves. This is one of the few half-elf villages in the entire world."
"Is that so?"
Levi soon learned that the thief in front of him was from the halfling kingdom of Mutt, but had to stay here because of an accident. Although he was small and weak, he loved adventure by nature. In layman's terms, he was addicted to being a loser.
His profession is indeed a thief, and a thief who doesn't wear shoes.
Because under the halflings' hairy legs are big hairy feet, which are even a little out of proportion to their bodies, but such feet are naturally suitable for stealth.
Soon the halfling thief packed up the poison sacs. As he said, he only kept two and gave the rest to Levi.
This time Levi did not refuse. His subordinates were almost dead just now, and they really needed some items to exchange for money to replenish themselves.
Before, neither the hyenas nor the kobolds dropped any copper coins. He didn't know if it was because he was too unlucky or if these guys never dropped money at all.
After taking a look, he found that these poison sacs were actually some basic consumable items.
Poison sac (consumable): Can be applied to melee weapons. When attacking, there is a 65% chance of poisoning the target, causing a continuous loss of 1-2 health points per second for 3 seconds. Multiple attacks cannot cause the same poisoning effect to stack, but the duration can be stacked. The poison sac effect can last up to half an hour.
Overall, the poison effect is quite weak, not as good as when used by the Giant Jungle Spider, and certainly not as good as when used by his little frog, but it lasts long enough, which is worse than nothing.
As they chatted and walked into the village, Levi finally couldn't help but said, "Formally introduce myself. I'm the mage Levi Goethe. I see that you are quite skilled. Are you willing to go on an adventure with me?"
The halfling thief was suddenly in a dilemma. The opponent was a wizard, and he was actually willing to do it. However, this wizard did not seem to be very strong. He was actually being chased all over the ground by some giant jungle spiders. It was probably from some village that he had just come out to adventure, and he had other things to do.
But after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally decided to be honest.
"My name is Sam, sir."
"Actually, I was transporting a batch of goose eggs with my companions, but we were attacked by the enemy when we passed through the swamp, and the goose eggs were stolen. So I wanted to work for the village to earn money, and slowly gather some mercenaries to get the goose eggs back."
"I do need a stable income, but I'm sorry that I can't rely on you for the time being."
His meaning was very clear. He could accept the employment temporarily, but he would not fight for him like the militiamen did because he had other things to do.
Levi laughed immediately: "Very good, I understand. Don't worry, if you follow me, as long as you don't die, money will definitely not be a problem."
Hiring or recruiting, actually, is not a problem for him . He just needs the other party's skill to obtain extra spoils from wild beasts. It would be even better if the other party could provide some poison sacs or similar things later.
After considering for a few seconds, the halfling finally nodded in agreement, and Levi temporarily had an elite subordinate named Sam under his command.
