Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 61: Starting Again
After receiving the blue quality quiver, Donna was obviously happy. Because she was good at shooting arrows continuously, she consumed arrows very quickly and usually had to carry two or three quivers.
This had troubled her somewhat before, because carrying them would slightly affect her movements, but now the problem was much simpler.
At the same time, she also found that Levi's equipment was also brand new. Not only were his wizard robes and boots replaced with higher quality ones, but he even had a glowing magic book in his hand. Now he looked more like a real magician than yesterday.
She also found that the team was getting stronger. In addition to Sam, Zhou Miyin and the volunteers, there were now three level 2 half-elf archers, one of whom was a longbowman, and two were ordinary archers. The level 1 troops had 10 half-elf hunters and 8 half-elf soldiers.
It can be seen from the team configuration that while Levi intends to further strengthen the long-range attack power, he also increases the proportion of melee troops.
Mainly because of the previous raid by the gnolls, he realized the shortcomings of his team. They could not always take the initiative to attack, so they needed some melee troops to ensure the safety of the ranged troops, or at least delay until the ranged troops launched another attack.
"Levi, it looks like those things from yesterday are very valuable. I thought after you bought these equipments, you would have no extra money to hire troops."
Levi smiled. Donna's eyesight was indeed not bad. If she only relied on the spoils obtained from the ogres, it would indeed be a little short of money.
However, the +1 weapons he enchanted yesterday were unexpectedly in great demand and all of them were sold out, even forcing him to stay up late to make some more.
Those God-chosen heroes are even willing to provide their own materials and pay full wages just for this little bit of light.
This allowed him to buy equipment from the merchant Tros, replenish arrows and supplies, and hire new troops. In addition, he also bought some medical bandages that could slowly restore life, as well as potions that could restore health and magic points in emergencies.
Even so, there are still many people in his friend list who have lined up and made appointments to ask him to help them enchant tonight .
This also made him make up his mind. From today on, he would stay up late every night to enchant some weapons. He would make a fortune while there were no competitors for the time being. However, there was no need to explain all of it to Donna for the time being.
"Let's go, Donna. Our mission today is also very important. It's time to deal with Sam's problem."
After a brief thought, he decided to deal with Sam's matter first, and then go to Stoney Highlands to fight the gnolls as soon as possible.
Although most of the chosen heroes who went to Stoney Highlands suffered heavy losses and gained nothing, those who were strong enough or lucky enough were able to recruit high elf troops one after another.
Especially the priest named Glory of Light, who recruited three people at once.
Although Witt and others later speculated that although the other party performed very well, there was still a big gap in points needed to recruit three level 2 troops, and they must have some special skills or treasures to recruit so many, but this still made Levi feel a certain sense of crisis and urgency.
Others already have Tier 2 troops, so he needs to have one too, or even more!
The reason why he decided to go now, in addition to wanting to have no worries and concentrate on fighting the jackals, was another reason, that is, Sam had completely confessed to him.
They were indeed transporting a batch of goose eggs, but passing through the swamp was not just a coincidence.
They actually went there because there were all kinds of giant flies and mosquitoes in the swamp, which were swamp creatures that were perfect for fighting the war geese and helping them grow.
However, they overestimated their own strength. There were indigenous people in the swamp over there. They were ambushed by some Grond Frogmen who were smaller than them, the halflings, and almost all of them were wiped out.
According to Sam, the strength of the Grond Frogmen is also very weak, basically level 0 to 1. Their advantages are that they can walk in the swamp almost without obstacles and coat their weapons with poison.
It was because of these things that Sam came up with the idea of coating his weapons with poison, but unfortunately he has not yet learned this skill.
In addition, Sam also suspected that they might have the ability to drive giant insects, because they were first attacked by a group of mosquitoes and then killed by the Gronn frogmen.
Donna was immediately diverted to another topic: "Go look for the eggs of those war geese? I'm also quite interested in them. It is said that they are even more useful than ordinary hunting dogs."
Sam straightened his chest immediately after hearing this: "Yes, in my hometown, the province of Mut, we all use war geese to guard our homes. They are much more powerful than ordinary hounds. At least ordinary hounds will never be as brave as them to rush towards the beastmen."
Beastmen are an evil race belonging to the chaos system. All of them are in the chaotic evil camp and spend their days burning, killing and looting.
Moreover, they are a large category, including cat-people, dog-people, sheep-people and other people with beast characteristics. No matter they were once beasts influenced by evil forces and became beast-people, or they were humans who degenerated into beasts, in theory they all belong to beast-people.
It’s just that many powerful beastmen, such as minotaurs, gnolls, centaurs, etc., have split off and established their own factions. The rest are either chickens or those whose racial characteristics are not particularly obvious and cannot be specifically classified.
In short, judging from the actual battles among many of the God-chosen heroes, most low-level Beastmen are slightly stronger than goblins, gnolls, and the like, but their strength is very limited. They are wild monsters at the bottom of the entire world. They are even now called "wild monsters" on the forum.
"Why, Donna, are you interested? As I recall, you don't have an animal companion of your own yet?"
Both the Ranger and Druid professions can have their own animal companions. And unlike the magical pets of mages like Levi, with the support of skills, animal companions have very strong combat effectiveness.
There is currently a high-level druid who, by coincidence, contracted a level 2 elite crocodile as his animal companion. In shallow water areas such as rivers, its combat power is incredibly strong, even more powerful than half of the druid's team of soldiers.
If Donna could find a powerful animal partner , her fighting ability would definitely be improved.
But Levi didn't want her to use the war geese. The halflings thought their war geese were very powerful, but even their advanced troop, the Royal War Goose, was only a level 2 troop and was not worthy of her at all.
Donna smiled and shook her head: "I just think it's interesting. In fact, I have always wanted to find a beautiful and powerful cheetah or tiger as a pet. The black panther and moon leopard on Paradise Island are not strong enough."
"I even gave up contracts with various dinosaurs for this, so how can I waste the opportunity on some war geese?"
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Donna, I think your chance has come. We high elves will provide a batch of Charis White Lions for recruitment soon."
"More than once recently, a giant saber-toothed tiger named Laxili has been seen wandering along the river. Not only is it very powerful, but its appearance will definitely meet your expectations!"
Donna also became interested: "Charis White Lion? I've heard of this name, but they are still not very strong. How strong is the saber-tooth tiger you mentioned?"
"It's at least a level 4 elite, and some people suspect it's a ferocious animal." Levi told the information he got in Green Blade Village without hesitation.
Donna frowned immediately: "Level 4 Elite is not a big problem. Theoretically, when my combat level reaches Level 8, there is a high chance that I can successfully contract it."
"But if it is really a ferocious animal, then it will be a bit troublesome . Our rangers or druids' wild identity skills are often not so effective against them."
It is based on the passive skill of Wild Identity that rangers and druids can deal with animals more easily.
If their level and charm attributes are high enough, they can make originally hostile wild beasts become neutral or even friendly and not launch active attacks on them. If they are domesticated animals such as hunting dogs, they will directly become friendly or even intimate and become reliable partners fighting side by side with them.
But ferocious animals, as the name suggests, are full of desire for killing and bloodthirstiness, so the effectiveness of this skill of wild recognition will be greatly reduced.
Levi nodded slightly to show his understanding. He had the experience of summoning ferocious animals twice before. Whether from the opponent's skills or attitude, he could roughly understand the situation.
But this problem is not unsolvable. The high elves' military merit points can be exchanged for many options, and he has obtained hunting shackles from the werewolves. If many parties cooperate, it may not be impossible for Donna to contract the big cat that has both beauty and strength.
Moreover, looking at Laxili's lazy appearance as he basks in the sun after eating, he doesn't look like a ferocious animal.
But Donna has just reached level 4, and our team has no experience fighting level 4 enemies, so it’s a little early to talk about this.
"You rangers can change your animal companions anyway. Why don't you try the White Lion of Chrace before you contract Laxili?"
At the moment, it seems that there are no other animal companions nearby that would be more suitable for Donna.
Donna thought about it and felt that what Levi said made sense. With an animal companion, her safety would be guaranteed.
Moreover, the White Lion of Chareth is named after Chareth, one of the ten kingdoms of the High Elves. It should have some special features, so it can be used as a temporary transitional animal companion.
"Okay, but when those white lions you mentioned arrive, I want to see what they look like first."
For her now, finding a beautiful animal companion is the most important thing, and strength is secondary. Otherwise, she could have found a big dinosaur on Paradise Island.
Levi laughed immediately. In the high elf military merit exchange list, there were some pictures and text information as a brief introduction. The White Lion of Charis could definitely meet Donna's aesthetic taste, and it did not cost many military merit points.
Once we have dealt with Sam's problem, we will go to Stoney Highlands to cause trouble for the jackals and get a beautiful animal companion for Donna as soon as possible!
