Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 26 The First Magical Item
While chatting with the dwarf Stump, he soon realized that the other party came here to look for opportunities, because the advantages and disadvantages of the dwarf subordinates were equally prominent.
The advantage is that they have thick skin and can withstand heavy damage, but the disadvantage is that their attack speed and movement speed are very slow. More importantly, they are really expensive. According to the information disclosed by players of other races on the forum, the price of a dwarf miner is enough to recruit two goblin minions or Skaven slave rats of the same level.
After luckily recruiting a level 1 dwarf warrior at half price, but still losing everything, he immediately realized that he could not go on.
The dwarf natives all follow the elite route of the pure dwarf tribe, but this is not a good thing for players who are God's chosen heroes, because most of the natives only need to protect their own territories. Unless there is a major war, there will basically not be too much loss in daily life, and they also have money.
But players have to go out on adventures. If they rely solely on melee troops, the casualty rate of their subordinates every day will definitely not be low.
So he thought of coming here to see if he could recruit some elves or humans to make up for his shortcomings. After all, several forces are all in the lawful camp and maintain friendly relations, so he should not be beaten.
However, he didn't expect that he would run into a greenskin patrol with goblins not long after he went out. After killing an elite goblin out of the blue, he also suffered heavy losses. Knowing that he was reckless, he started to run away.
Unfortunately, the dwarves were not as fast as the goblins. If they had not met Levi by chance, even if they had managed to escape in the end, all their subordinates would probably have been killed.
By this time, his subordinates had almost cleaned up the spoils. Just as he had expected, there were not many copper coins. The broken weapons used by the goblins were no different from fire sticks. He was too lazy to even pick them up.
The greenskin hunter dropped a bow and arrow, and the greenskin boy dropped a machete, but unfortunately they were both white and not very useful.
In the end, the spearman Zhou Miyin took out a small rusty badge from under the body of the Squig beast. It was a magic prop.
According to the contribution ratio in the system, Levi directly gave him the part of the copper coins belonging to the tree stump through the team's temporary space, and then threw the machete to the other party.
"I'll take the bow and arrow and this magic item, and I'll give you the knife."
Shudun was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly declined: "This is not good, this is not good, I haven't thanked you for saving my life, how can I take your things again?"
This was his true feelings, so when the other party adopted the captain assignment mode before, he didn't say a word, because he didn't intend to ask for anything from the beginning.
"If you can make a friend with a weapon, it's definitely worth it. You'd better throw away that weapon right away."
Putting aside other things, just looking at the fact that the opponent exposed his back defenselessly before forming a team, he couldn't be a bad guy at all. Moreover, this was just a lowest-level blank weapon, and it would only cost a few copper coins if sold to a store.
Tree Stump scratched his head stupidly, but finally accepted it: "Thank you very much, big brother. I am saving money and plan to hire some ranged troops here. The dwarf troops are too expensive and move too slowly."
Levi smiled and nodded to indicate that the other party's idea was correct, but he also quickly pointed out another key point: "Why do you think that the recruitment price of elves will be cheaper than that of dwarves?"
"And there is one thing you may not know. There are conflicts between the elves and the dwarves. Recruiting them may not be that easy. At least it is more difficult than for our own race or humans."
Even the high elves are not completely united. Half-elves like those in Green Blade Village are strongly alienated and excluded, let alone different races?
And he didn't just drink when he was in the tavern. In addition to looking for elite subordinates, he also learned a lot of background knowledge.
There are indeed conflicts between the high elves and the dwarves. After all, the two sides are very different in customs and culture, as well as in appearance, body shape, personality and many other aspects.
When Shudun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt deeply regretful. Indeed, he was just impulsive before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing.
Really, if I had known earlier, I should have continued to stay in the Novice Village and fight ratmen. Although those Skaven are poor as hell, they are still much better than the goblins, and they often come in large numbers.
As long as you find a narrow passage, with yourself and the dwarf warrior in the front and slinging dwarves attacking from the back, you can gain experience points very comfortably.
It’s not like now, not only did we make a wasted trip and waste a lot of time, but we also lost some troops, and most importantly, we gained nothing!
Ah, not really. At least I made friends with an expert this time. Judging from the speed at which those goblins died just now, this expert probably has many tier 1 soldiers under his command, especially the beautiful big sister with muscular body and tattoos...
Then, Tree Stump, whose thoughts were constantly wandering, saw Levi, who seemed to be smiling.
He was immediately startled, as if some secret had been discovered, and tried hard to change the subject: "Brother, is there anything you can teach me?"
Looking at the red face that could not be covered even under the full beard, Levi became more and more certain of a guess: this tree stump was probably still a minor, right?
In this case, and with his personality, it would be even more worthwhile to make some friends with him.
"Since you call me brother, I won't let you call me that for nothing. There is a half-elf village ahead. They are relatively less hostile to dwarves. There are also several dwarf captives in the village prison. They should all be level 2, advanced heavy-armored dwarf warriors. If you have money, you can try recruit them."
The stump was overjoyed: "Thank you, big brother. I have made this friend. I will definitely help you when I visit our dwarf territory in the future."
"By the way, big brother, when I came here, I found a Kobold Mage in the wild who could cast small fireballs. But I was being chased by the greenskins at the time, so I couldn't take a closer look. Big brother, do you want to go and fight him?"
Levi suddenly became interested. A mage unit, so is it possible that it could drop items used by mages?
Although it is quite rare to have a wizard among the kobolds, it is just right because if it were a wizard from another race, his strength might not be enough at this stage.
"What is its general strength?"
"Except for the Kobold Mage, whose identity I'm not sure about, there are also two large, well-equipped Kobold Warriors, who should be level 1. The rest are all level 0 soldiers, but there are a lot of them, and they seem to have occupied a small camp. I think there are at least fifty or sixty of them, right?"
Shudun was a little unsure, mainly because he was being chased at the time. Those greenskins were enough of a headache for him, so how could he dare to provoke new enemies?
Levi nodded and noted the location. The ogres were stronger than the goblins and could barely tie with the level 0 militia. Their strength was still not that good, but as the other party had said , their numbers were indeed a bit too many.
"I understand. If I have the chance, I will go and take a look. Maybe we will have a chance to join forces then."
After pointing out the direction of the tree stump, the two men separated temporarily. Levi continued to explore while checking the trophy he had just obtained.
Rusty Fire Iron Badge (Wonderful Item - Amulet - Green - Excellent):
The badge contains a first-level magic - Burning Hands 2/2. It will automatically restore all uses at 0:00 am every day, or you can spend 15 mana points to recharge it once in advance.
Burning Hands, Tier 1: Cones of searing flame burst forth from your fingertips. Any creature caught within the flames takes damage based on your Intelligence and wizard level (currently 5–10 points), but not more than 20 points.
Equipment requirements: Intelligence 8, any magic profession.
(This is a magic badge made of flaming iron, but it has been corroded by the monster's gastric juice, so its power has decreased.)
(You can only equip two amulet/brooch/medal items at a time.)
I finally got some offensive magic. I quickly calculated in my head that the lower limit of this magic's attack power is about half of (Intelligence + level), and the upper limit is twice the sum of the two. This is normal, but why is it the mage level mentioned above, and not just the level?
Is it possible that while being a mage, one can also work part-time in other professions?
He felt as if the door to a new world had opened.
There's no way. This crappy game provides too little information. Apart from some basic introductions, it doesn't even provide a map or anything. Everything has to be figured out by the God-chosen hero on his own. There's almost no publicity, so it's no wonder that so few people come to play.
Someone on the forum did some statistics yesterday and found that there are probably only a few tens of thousands of people playing the game right now.
If we average it out among dozens of races and even more novice villages, there are probably not many players in one village. It can be said that this is a very unpopular game.
Of course, due to the personal experience of these players yesterday, the many features of this game will surely spread quickly, and it should soon usher in a wave of explosive growth.
After equipping himself with the rusty flame iron badge, he changed his mind and realized that for a mage, having a part-time job didn't seem to make much sense. Even if he could really become a level 1 warrior, how useful would it be?
And he also had to consider the issue of experience points. He wasn't so naive as to think that if he became a level 1 warrior part-time, the experience points he would get after that would be calculated as a level 1 warrior. It would probably be calculated based on the combined levels of the warrior + the mage...
