Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 7: Kobold Lair
"Your professional talent: magic talent has been successfully activated."
"Generating a random 0-1 level magic list... Generating completed, please select."
"Level 0 magic: acid splash, strike the undead, arrow shooting, frost ray, touch of fatigue, despair gaze;
Level 1 magic: Lesser Flame Orb, Mage Armor. "
Leaving aside the matter of the pet, after briefly scanning the eight types of magic, he directly chose the Mage Armor among the first-level magic without any hesitation.
Those who have level 1 will certainly not choose level 0. The Inferior Flame Orb is obviously a fire-type offensive magic, but how powerful can the offensive magic of a level 1 wizard be?
I'm afraid it would be worse if the militia stabbed him a few more times. What's more, what he lacks now is the means of self-defense. Of course, he has to choose the mage armor. If he had the self-defense magic just now, he wouldn't have been hit so hard by the kobold's small stones.
"Your intelligence meets the requirements, and you have successfully learned Mage Armor."
Mage Armor ( Tier 1):
Consume 10 mana points to summon an armor composed of a force field that attaches to the surface of your or other people's body. This armor will not affect your actions in any way, and during its duration, incorporeal creatures such as ghosts cannot penetrate the mage armor like ordinary armor.
Based on your intelligence, combat level, and related magic expertise effects, the current mage armor bonus is 4 defense and provides 2 points of magic resistance for 8 minutes.
After seeing this magic, he felt very satisfied. Next time when he encounters a kobold slinger, he can just let him smash. It won’t break his defense anyway, and the magic will last for a long time.
As for adding points, he didn't even consider it and directly chose intelligence. Intelligence is the foundation of a mage, and adding it to other attributes will not bring much benefit.
His mind felt clear and comfortable again. Although the feeling faded quickly, he remembered it.
After taking a look, he found that the experience points required for the next upgrade have doubled. If his subordinates kill the enemies, at least 80 level 0 enemies must be killed. It seems that he has to be more cautious in the future. Otherwise, if he is so stimulating every time, even if he can bear it, all his subordinates will die.
Soon the militiamen collected all the spoils. Levi took a quick look and found that most of them were gray-quality junk. The kobold swords and pickaxes were either rusted or rotten. If they were used in battle, he was afraid that they would break if he used too much force.
In comparison, there is a slingshot that is pretty good. It might have been dropped by the elite. Of course, it is pretty good compared to other junk.
Military Sling (White - Normal): Attack 0-2, no usage requirements.
(Compared to other simple items of the same kind, which are just two leather ropes with a piece of cloth tied in the middle, this sling is better made - it is made entirely of leather)
Rough Stone Bullet (Gray - Rough): Attack 0-1, no usage requirements.
(The stone bullets are crudely made by the kobolds. They are very weak and need to be used with a slingshot.)
He tried it twice and found that the accuracy of this thing was really impressive. It was much more difficult to use than a slingshot. No wonder the gnolls behaved like that when they used it just now. It really wasn't entirely their fault.
He could even assert that a slingshot of this level would hardly be of any use unless it was fired by hundreds of people in a large-scale battle.
Then came two candles and some stones glowing with golden light.
Candle, a common item that can provide light when lit.
(Although the dog-headed people have a certain night vision ability, candles are still regarded as valuable items by them)
Kobold Gold Mine, material, ore containing some gold, can be sold to stores or used for forging and refining.
(Kobolds love all things shiny, especially gold)
Since Levi had a primary space backpack, similar items could be stacked, so he put away the kobold gold mine and candles, and left the rest of the junk weapons where they were, as they took up too much space.
Taking a final look at the bottom of the trap, he discovered that the bodies of the two militiamen inside had disappeared, leaving only some bloodstains. It seemed that they had been refreshed by the system. This made him feel a little more at ease. When he heard the screams before, he almost thought they were real humans.
Although he had upgraded, he still felt a bit disadvantaged after taking another look at the spoils. How many militiamen could he get back with this little stuff? And how much time could he get back?
After all, the remaining militiamen are all low on health and will definitely not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally made up his mind. Instead of returning immediately, he led the remaining militiamen and headed towards the direction where the ogre ambush appeared.
If there was no summoning element, and if it was any other God-chosen hero, the whole team would have been 100% wiped out in this situation. After so much effort, this was the only gain in the end. It really didn't make sense, and he felt unwilling to accept it.
What's more, he's already almost bleeding at the beginning. If there's real danger, or if he's ambushed or even killed by the ogres again, the worst that can happen is that he can just delete his account and start over!
Not knowing whether this place belonged to the territory of the group of killed ogre men, they continued forward without encountering any enemies for the time being. Soon Levi discovered a cave that was obviously man-made.
Judging from its height, it is not suitable for humans, but it is very suitable for the body size of the kobolds. Moreover, every ten or so meters, there seems to be a faint flash of candlelight.
He was immediately delighted, knowing that he had come to the right place. He subconsciously wanted to ask two militiamen to scout the way ahead, but in the blink of an eye he remembered the trap he had fallen into before.
In order to hunt, the Kobolds dug such a big pit in the wild. So, in order to guard their lair, are there any traps here? The answer is of course yes!
So he did not act impulsively, but chanted the spell again and cast the summoning element.
Soon, a big guy who was almost two meters tall, several meters wide, and covered in earthy yellow, and roughly human-shaped, emerged from the magic circle. Just by looking at its appearance, you could tell that it was an excellent meat shield.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. This is a small earth element among the elemental summons. Compared with the small wind element, it is obviously stronger in strength and physique, but its agility is much worse, and its intelligence and other aspects are all 1.
It also does not have the wind element's group attack skill, but this cannot deny its value, because it has a very powerful passive skill. It can even be said that when facing a gnoll, it can almost stand alone.
Protection of the Earth: When you step on the ground, you will have 5 points of damage reduction against other ordinary physical attacks except blunt attacks.
It has 3 points of natural defense, and with this skill, it becomes a more qualified meat shield. Without hesitation, Levi and these few low-health militiamen combined are not enough for it to hammer. How many points of attack power do the militiamen have in total? They can't even break the defense!
So he felt more confident in sending it out to explore the way. It might even be more suitable for this task than the small wind element. One look at its size and weight would reveal that no matter what traps there were, it would definitely trigger them all!
Sure enough, just after it walked out a dozen meters, it fell down with a "bang", and the entire ground shook.
It was the same trap, but this time Levi smiled, because in the system panel, the small earth element suffered five or six attacks in a row, but each attack only caused it to lose 1 or 2 points of blood.
Such a trap can be used against militiamen and even against himself, but it has no effect on it which possesses the Protection of the Earth!
However, this thing is too slow, several times slower than a small wind element. It is truly a snail's pace. It is completely impossible to rely on it when fighting monsters in the wild. It can only serve as a meat shield in normal times.
After struggling for a long time, the small earth element finally climbed out of the pit, but before it moved forward a few dozen meters, it fell into the deep pit again. The gnolls had set more than one trap here.
But because of the passive skill of the small earth element and the fact that it is tanky enough, it is not a big problem.
However, this was enough to make Levi more alert. He originally thought that the ogres were the weakest in the three directions coming out of the village, but now it seems that their frontal combat capability may be the weakest, but the traps are really deadly. If he did not have the skill to summon elements, he might not be able to go deep into the trap even if all the militiamen around him died.
Soon the light in front gradually became brighter, and the cave became more spacious. Levi knew that he should be almost there.
At the same time, perhaps disturbed by the noise of the small earth element, a kobold soon came out to check.
Compared with their counterparts who were killed outside before, they were obviously thinner, and some of the gnolls even had white beards, and seemed to be the old and weak who were left behind.
This thought flashed through Levi's mind, and then he saw these old and weak people rushing towards him, barking and holding various broken and rotten weapons.
He immediately changed his mindset. No matter what, they were just evil aliens and there was no need for pity!
"Attack, kill them all!"
