Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 40 Level 4, Summoning Monsters
After killing another group of patrols, Levi successfully reached level 4. His subordinates had to rely on their own efforts, but as a hero chosen by God, he could rely on everyone and his upgrade speed was much faster than theirs.
"Level 0 magic: Despair Gaze, Frost Ray, Dancing Lights;
Level 1 magic: Death Grimace, Stone Fist, Summon Monster (Basic), Ice Dagger.
Level 2 magic: Corruption Cyst."
It is certain that the higher his own level, the fewer low-level magic options there will be when upgrading. After a few more levels, it is estimated that the 0th-level magic will completely disappear from the list.
This time he did not choose the highest level 2 magic, but chose summon monster (primary). As he said before, offensive magic was of little significance to him at this stage, and the corruption cyst did not sound like a good thing, most likely it was related to undead creatures or even demons.
On the contrary, he has gained many benefits from the magic of summoning elements. Even though the team's strength is constantly improving, it is still very practical because summoned creatures can be used as cannon fodder at will!
Summon Monster (Basic): Level 1, active skill, consumes 15 magic points, summons an alien creature to serve you, it will attack the enemy according to your commands until the summoner/monster itself is destroyed or the duration ends.
The monster's duration, various attributes, and the maximum number of monsters that can be maintained at the same time will all depend on your intelligence, charm, combat level, and related magic expertise effects.
Based on your current alignment, you cannot summon monsters of the evil alignment, but you have an 8% chance of summoning monsters with celestial characteristics;
Based on your current status, the maximum number you can maintain at the same time is 1. You cannot specify the type of monster. You have a 30% chance of summoning a monster from List 1, a 60% chance of summoning a monster from List 2, and a 10% chance of summoning a monster from List 3.
List 1 (Tier 0): Hounds, Dire Rat, Poison Frog, Poison Snake, Coyote, Giant Jungle Spider, Giant Worker Ant, Fire Beetle, Ape, Monkey, Pony;
List 2 (Tier 1): python, dolphin, eagle, crocodile, wild boar, dire wolf, dire wolverine, dire ape, giant soldier ant;
List 3 (Tier 2): Cheetah, Shark, Deinonychus, Grizzly Bear, Lion, Rhino, Giant Drone Ant, Giant Bomb Beetle.
Each animal on the list has a simple image, but unfortunately there is no introduction to its related attributes and skills.
Levi spent a few minutes carefully reading the introduction of the system several times. He felt that this magic and summoning element had its own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of summoning elements lies in stability. Among the four major first-level elements that he has summoned so far, except for the water element, which is ineffective and can only exert its greatest combat effectiveness in water areas and can usually only serve as cannon fodder, the other three elements are still very easy to use.
Especially with the effect of his specialty, Powerful Summoning (Elements), their strength will be further enhanced, making them more comfortable to use.
Although this magic of summoning monsters consumes a few less magic points, it is still a magic that relies on luck.
If you are unlucky, you may summon a useless level 0 monster, but if you are lucky enough and get a level 2 monster, it will be a great deal.
There is also an even lower chance of summoning monsters with celestial characteristics. Although he is not sure what it means specifically now, just by looking at the description he knows that it definitely can't be a bad thing!
After killing several more teams of kobold patrols and hobgoblins, Levi found that things had obviously changed. They spent half an hour but failed to successfully find the target again. It seemed that all the kobold patrols and hobgoblins were killed suddenly.
But Levi was not angry but happy, because he knew that his little trick had succeeded. There were indeed some intelligent people in these two groups, so they made the same choice at the same time!
So for me and others, the most important thing now is to wait patiently. When the sparks fly and the two enemies fight each other, it will be the time for the fisherman to benefit.
But just standing there like this is not a good idea. Time is very precious to him. Many God-chosen heroes have already gone to the Stoney Highlands to defeat the gnolls there to win military merit points. If he wastes too much time without much gain, it would be tantamount to wasting his advantage.
Levi thought about it and decided that maybe he should ask Sam again how far the place where they lost the goose eggs was from here. If the distance was right, it would not be impossible to take some time to solve his problem first.
Soon Sam, who had gone out for reconnaissance, came back again. Seeing his smiling face, Levi thought he had found another kobold patrol or hobgoblins or something.
But he guessed wrong this time: "Sir, we just found a group of robbers, they seem to be guarding a magic pond!"
"Magic pond, what is that?"
Although Levi has not seen or fought robbers yet, he is not unfamiliar with them, because there are often many human enemies outside each human village, including robbers, bandits, brigands, thieves, and vagrants. There are even many God-chosen heroes who employ one or more of them.
But he had never heard of the magic pond.
"I happened to have heard about this."
When he turned around, Levi found that Donna's eyes seemed to be shining. He immediately knew that the other party was also interested, which was probably a good thing.
"Magic ponds are somewhat similar to magic wells. The reason, time, and location of their appearance are unknown. They appear out of thin air every once in a while, and then disappear again very quickly."
"Ordinary people cannot use them, but for heroic units that encounter them, it is an opportunity to gamble, so some people simply call it a gambling fish pond or a gambling well."
"gamble?"
Levi became slightly interested. He had nothing to do with this in the real world, but if it was in the game, and if the cost was not high, he might give it a try.
Donna nodded: "Yes, according to what our tribe's priest said, there are generally several ways to deal with it."
"The first option is to drink it directly. You may recover or lose health or magic points. The value is completely random. We once had a berserker with more than 300 health points who died directly after drinking it. It is also possible that nothing happened.
The second option, if you have the fishing skill, you may catch precious fish, or any water-related monster. If you are unlucky, you may also encounter powerful monsters such as the legendary Abyss Hydra or Deep Sea Leviathan.
The third option is to throw a rock or some gold coins in there, and the result is completely random. There are at least thousands of possibilities, and no one can count them all. "
Levi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It was really gambling, but other people were gambling on money, but here it was gambling on life.
He directly gave up the first option because of its high risk and low benefit. He would only drink it because he was bored. Besides, who knows if anyone has taken a bath in it?
As for the second option, he gave up on it.
Although it is said that a fisherman will never come back empty-handed, if he is really unlucky and catches a Hydra, not only himself, but also several novice villages nearby will probably be turned into ruins. It is said that the Hydra is a monster of the same level as an adult dragon. It must be at least a sixth or seventh level soldier, right?
So, the third option is the only one?
Wait, Donna just said that only heroes can use the magic pond, and she's so excited...
Although there had been many speculations before, Levi had never really asked the other party. Unexpectedly, Donna actually said it herself this time. Was it because she had recovered her memory or her strength?
After following me into battle so frequently, she should have gained a lot of experience points.
Levi shook his head gently and gathered his scattered thoughts. He could think about Donna's matter later. The most important thing at the moment was that he had to get rid of the group of bandits who occupied the magic pond first!
