Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 44: Watching the Fire from the Other Side
1 gold coin was exchanged for the limited-time use rights of a level 3 soldier. For a moment, Levi didn't know whether it was a profit or a loss. After all, the village currently had no opportunity to directly spend money to recruit or hire level 3 soldiers.
However, that remark made him feel a little interesting, that is, it is okay to help out at ordinary times, but it is absolutely impossible right?
But having said that, sometimes you can't just run away whenever you want...
Unfortunately, if it was a permanent skill, combined with the ability to summon elements and summon monsters, I could almost become a summoner.
"Congratulations, Levi, you are lucky."
Although she couldn't see the specific introduction, just by listening to what the guy said just now, Donna could tell that this was a good thing.
"Okay, Donna, do you know what an Archon is?"
Donna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized, "It turned out to be Yakong. No wonder he looks like a human in armor."
"Arkon, some people also call them Arkon Gods, a kind of alien creature."
"Legend has it that the gods forged various elements into human forms in an attempt to use them as soldiers, so their types are very diverse, ranging from earth, fire, water, wind to thunder, lightning, clouds and fog. However, later on, the gods discovered more outstanding angels, so most of the archons were abandoned."
"The Arkong tribe..."
Based on Levi's experience of having played so many games, anyone with the word "God" in their name is not so easy to deal with. And even though they are abandoned by the gods, it depends on who they are compared with. Losing to an angel is not unfair at all!
Levi was about to say something when something strange suddenly happened in front of him. The originally clear and transparent magic pond suddenly trembled. In less than half a second, all the water in the pond quickly shrank into a point, and then in full view of everyone, it disappeared completely.
Levi shrugged. Now he finally understood what Donna meant before. This thing could actually run away on its own.
"Haha, Levi, it's time for us to go too."
Perhaps because she had recovered her strength, Donna's face was now full of smiles. Unfortunately, too many tattoos and paints covered her true appearance, making it impossible for Levi to see what she looked like.
"Okay, let's go check on the kobolds and the hobgoblins. If there is no progress for the time being, I will ask Sam where he lost the goose egg. After we finish the things here, we will solve his problem. Then we will focus on the mission in Stoney Highlands."
Donna raised her bow upon hearing this: "No problem, I have recovered now, and I have unexpectedly gotten rid of some of my drawbacks, so it's a good time to try my skills."
Levi knew that she was probably talking about the effect of the miracle.
After thinking about it, he decided to inquire more. After all, there was no information about the hero on the forum so far, so he could only learn from her.
"By the way, Donna, are the levels similar to the levels of equipment?"
Donna nodded and said with a little pride: "Yes, based on talent, skills, strength, past records, etc., heroes can also be roughly divided into 8 levels of evaluation, just like equipment."
"My current rating is blue. According to the priests in my tribe, in the past thousand years, there are definitely no more than ten Amazons my age who have reached the blue level on the entire Paradise Island."
Levi suddenly realized that this was the case. This evaluation only roughly indicated her current state and was not permanent. It could change.
So if I take Donna to kill a few dragons in the future, is it possible for her to be promoted to an epic or even legendary hero?
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he thought of the two things that could be exchanged for military merit points, the Hero's Spirit that could allow elites to be promoted, and the Hero Recruitment Order. He immediately asked Donna if she knew anything about these two things.
As expected, Donna really understood it and her attitude was a little disdainful.
"Levi, you should not cling to them now unless necessary."
"Hero's Spirit can indeed upgrade elite units into heroes, but the cost is a huge consumption of their potential, and even affects their strength."
"Moreover, the ability after becoming a hero is also closely related to the strength before the upgrade. The potential and strength of the hero units upgraded from the 4th-level elite and the 1st-level elite are completely different."
" Generally speaking , heroes that are upgraded from elites below level 4 are mostly rated as gray, so some people even call them useless heroes."
"Besides being able to activate their battle attributes and leadership, and command some subordinates, their combat effectiveness may even decrease instead of increase. Some useless heroes may even only be able to command one type of soldier throughout their lives."
"If it's a Tier 4 elite, it should be rated white. If it's a Tier 7 elite dragon, it might be rated higher than me."
Levi couldn't help but twitch his lips. If this news was announced, the forum would probably explode. He spent so much money, but in the end he could only command one type of soldiers?
If that type of soldier happens to be a Tier 0 militia, then it would be even more fun...
But if you think about it the other way around, this is actually quite reasonable.
Even if he gave the token to Sam or Zhou Miyin now, but they had never commanded troops, had never seen any strong enemies, and were very weak themselves, how could they really be comparable to Donna?
Even if they can command, they can probably only command halfling thieves or spearmen who are the same as their original profession, right?
On the contrary, if one can become a rank 7 elite, it means that one has been through hundreds of battles, but has definitely experienced many hardships. After becoming a hero, it is only natural that one becomes even stronger.
"As for the Hero's Order, I think it is somewhat similar to the magic pond we just saw."
As soon as he saw Donna's malicious smile, Levi understood immediately: "Is that gambling too?"
“That’s right!”
Donna nodded decisively: "This world has existed for countless years. Countless heroes were born, grew up, and eventually died. Their powerful souls are often taken away by the messengers of the gods. The strongest among them may become immortal messengers of gods or heroic spirits, and continue to fight for the glory of gods in foreign lands."
"But there are also some who were very weak in their lifetime, or had serious shortcomings, or had many bad habits. They are not worthy of the gods' attention, but they are still helpful to mortals."
Levi immediately understood. Wow, so the heroes recruited in this way were all guys who were chosen by the gods and then abandoned? They were also a bunch of useless people, right?
As soon as she saw his expression, Donna knew what he was thinking. She quickly coughed and said, "Well, it's not exactly what you think. At least most of them should be stronger than heroes that are promoted from low-level elite units. Well, I think so."
In the end, even Donna herself felt a little lacking in confidence.
Then she quickly added: "As long as you can randomly summon a hero of the same faction and race as you, even if there are some disadvantages, it is still very profitable."
Well, it would have been better if she didn't say anything. With this reminder, Levi could think of more.
It only says to recruit heroes from the same camp, but there are thousands of races in the game, and there are only nine camps in total!
For example, I am now a lawful neutral and kind high elf. If I randomly summon a lawful neutral hero like an octopus or seahorse that swims in the water, do I have to specially provide it with a fish tank when I march?
It would be terrible if it had any other bad habits or fatal weaknesses. This thing would be a sinkhole!
"Thank you for your reminder, Donna. If it weren't for you, I would have made a mistake."
Levi thanked the other party very sincerely and made up his mind.
Now it seems that the priority is to strengthen personal strength, get some equipment, mounts, magic and the like, and then hard currency such as the Heart of the Village and military building blueprints. As for things like the Spirit of the Hero, try not to touch them for now.
Well, of course, this is probably because it is easy for him to say so. The other chosen heroes do not have a "Donna" by their side. Even if they know it is a trap, they may have no choice but to step into it in order to command more subordinates.
Donna waved her hands: "No, don't do this, I'm not used to it, I still..."
Before she finished her words, the halfling thief whose name was just mentioned had already parted the grass and ran over excitedly: "My lord, the hobgoblins are moving out en masse!"
