Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 15 Hobgoblins
Soon the morale of the goblins collapsed under the continuous rain of arrows from Donna and others. No matter how hard the big goblin hiding behind them whipped them, it was of no use. In the end, it could only run away with them.
Unfortunately, compared to the ordinary one-meter-tall goblins, its height was too prominent. In addition, it had been targeted by Donna early on, and there was an extremely fast wind element chasing it from behind. In the end, it was successfully killed a hundred meters away.
Compared to the goblins who didn't even have half a copper coin, the two big goblins were more generous. They dropped a white spear and leather armor respectively.
It just so happened that Donna didn't have a suitable one, so he planned to give it to her.
But Donna only took the spear, played with it a few times, and seemed quite satisfied with it, and simply chose to refuse the leather armor.
"Sorry, I don't want to wear the leather armor that the hobgoblins wear, and I don't think I'll need it for the time being."
Levi was speechless immediately. He really has a strong personality.
Although this is equipment dropped by the hobgoblin, it has obviously been processed again by the system. There is no dirt or odor on it at all. I didn't expect Donna to have such a cleanliness obsession.
But it is true, just as she said, as an archer it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t change to new equipment for the time being, as long as she kills all the enemies before they attack her!
So he simply put it on himself. Although it was a blank, this thing had at least 1 point higher defense than his original robe.
But the next moment, he found that his plan seemed to have failed.
"Since you don't have the skills to wear leather armor, you may not be able to fully utilize its functions. Based on your current profession, wearing armor other than cloth armor may affect the success rate of your magic."
He was a little stunned. Do I need to master relevant skills to wear leather armor?
And judging from this, it seems that the mage can only wear cloth clothes and robes, or just run naked?
Thinking further, if you want to use heavy weapons such as spears and hammers, you may also need corresponding skills?
And if even ordinary white-quality equipment has requirements, then wouldn’t the subsequent green equipment like the longbow in Donna’s hand require more?
Wouldn't my dream of wearing heavy armor, riding a giant dragon, holding a staff in one hand and a greatsword in the other, and trying to learn from Gandalf the White Swordmaster, be shattered?
Well, maybe not necessarily, because the system prompt is based on the current profession, and no one has ever stipulated that a mage cannot change his profession later, right...
While he was thinking, the halfling thief Sam suddenly reported: "Sir, your summoned creatures have encountered new enemies ahead."
"Hmm? What enemy?"
Levi had sent it to continue chasing the goblins, but he didn't expect that there would be unexpected twists and turns.
"It's the kobolds. They actually intercepted those goblins."
At this moment, the system's prompt finally came, telling Levi that he had won another mediocre victory.
“The settlement of this battle:
Our team killed 2 hobgoblin soldiers (level 1) and 29 hobgoblins (level 0), with no casualties. The highest contribution was made by Amazon Donna. Please click here to view the battle details. "
He was not too surprised by this evaluation. After all, the opponent was too weak. The equipment of the only two earth elves looked okay, but they were only level 1 soldiers. They did not exert any combat effectiveness at all and were killed instantly by Donna.
Like the halfling rogue Sam, even though they are just temporary mercenaries, Donna will still give him some experience points from the enemies killed by her.
He was just a little bit puzzled: "Will monsters of different species fight each other?"
Donna looked at him in confusion and said, "Of course, regardless of whether they are intelligent or not, fighting and killing are the instincts of all creatures in this world. In order to survive, they must kill the enemy, not to mention that they can become stronger after killing the enemy."
It was a disappointment, but Levi was not angry. He just seemed to be thinking about something.
Come to think of it, he hasn't discovered any monsters spawning in the void so far. Although there are elements of games, they are very realistic in many aspects.
"Alright, hurry up and move forward. I can already feel my summoned elementals being attacked."
In fact, he saw on the system panel that the small wind elements began to be attacked, and the frequency was not low, but the actual health loss was very small, basically falling one by one, and it seemed that they were most likely attacked by the kobold slingers.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the battle site, they found some kobold miners and kobold slingers besieging the small wind element.
The goblins that had escaped before have all turned into corpses on the ground. A considerable number of them were killed by the ogres. After all, the goblins killed by their slings are still quite recognizable. No one knows where such a great hatred between them comes from.
But in fact it doesn’t matter anymore. When Levi and his men joined the battle, these gnolls also became prey.
Without much effort, they quickly killed more than a dozen ogres. In addition to the usual slings and stone bullets, the ogres actually dropped a mission item this time.
The two small wooden boards, painted black and obviously carefully polished, look very much like the bamboo boards used for playing clappers.
Scattered castanets (2/17). Castanets are a musical instrument that produces sound by striking each other. A complete set of castanets may be made up of 2 to 30 wooden boards, shells or stones of different lengths. This set of castanets seems to have once belonged to a bard, but now only two are left.
He took a look at it and put it away. He didn't really take it seriously.
Although it is obvious that this is a task, the quantity required is too large, 17 pieces. God knows how many groups of kobolds must be killed to collect them. Moreover, for this kind of low-level collection task, even if all the pieces are collected, the task reward is estimated to not be that good, after all, the source is just some kobolds.
"Levi, where are we going next? Should we continue to kill goblins, or go fight the puppy heads?"
The Amazon called his name carelessly. It was not known whether it was because she was only a temporary employee, or because she came from the matriarchal country of Amazon, or for other reasons, but she did not seem to have much awe and respect for him, even though he had saved her from prison.
He now understood a little bit why the warden had such an expression when he mentioned her before. Maybe they were also very troubled by her normally?
Unfortunately, she probably didn't know that there was a miracle in this world that required God's chosen heroes to grow up, and their growth rate would far exceed the imagination of the natives.
It won’t take long at all, maybe in a few days, she will drastically change her attitude!
After thinking for a while, he made a decision: "Sam, follow the trail the kobolds left and try to find their lair."
In fact, he had not been very inclined towards this at first. After all, both types of enemies were very weak, and there shouldn't be much treasure in the lair. But because of the castanets, he decided to go to the kobold's lair. Although he had no expectations, he had nothing to do anyway.
The halfling thief immediately agreed and quickly completed the task and found Levi's target.
Levi already had experience this time, and the team was more complete than before. Although the wind element leading the way could not trigger traps like the earth element, with the halfling thief there, he could detect those traps in advance and break them.
Even if they dug a large pit, the gnolls would leave a passage for themselves to enter and exit.
After successfully solving several traps in succession, Levi inadvertently noticed that the opponent's experience value had changed. He suddenly became thoughtful. If thieves can gain experience points by breaking traps, then the way for other professions to gain experience points should not be just killing, right?
Soon the passage became wider and wider, and they entered a circular hall very smoothly. As usual, there were ogres guarding the hall this time. And because they came in very secretly, these ogres failed to discover them in advance and instead attacked by surprise. The battle was resolved very easily.
After looking around, Levi felt that the harvest this time might not be much, because compared to the ogre's nest he had visited before, the number of caves around here was obviously much smaller, which should also mean that their strength was very weak, and naturally it was unlikely to have any decent spoils.
