Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 100: Treasures in the Forest
While carefully advancing into the forest, Levi reorganized his troops, calculating how many enemies they could still fight. But at this moment, Levi suddenly noticed that the small wind element that he had summoned at the beginning had also reached the critical moment. Behind its class, there were three shining big words: Advanced.
After so many battles and having just slaughtered so many vampire bats, it finally came to this point.
For a moment, Levi was unsure what would happen once he clicked on the advanced button. After all, his magic could only summon small first-level elements.
However, seeing that its remaining duration was not long, he simply clicked on the advancement button.
Although we have been together for such a long time and have developed some feelings for it, and it has also taken a lot of my experience points, I am still a little worried about it before I make it pay the price, but it is just a summoned creature anyway, and there are many substitutes.
The system prompt popped up immediately. Similar to Sam, Zhou Miyin and others, it also had two different advancement options.
Branch 1, Medium Wind Element, continue to purify the power, gain low-altitude flight and long-range attack capabilities, requiring 1.5 silver coins;
Branch 2, Feng Yakong, transforms into human form, gains melee skills, and requires 3 silver coins.
If we only look at the cost required for advancement, Feng Yakong's combat effectiveness is obviously better than that of the medium-sized wind element, and Levi can understand the reason a little bit. After all, just look at Guang Yakong and you will know that those equipment also cost money.
However, after some consideration, Levi finally decided to choose 1. After all, he already has the ability to summon Sub-Kings. Although he can only summon three types of Sub-Kings: water, ice and light, it is enough for the time being.
And there is another point, he really wants to know whether he can still summon it after the opponent advances to medium size!
As the money was deducted, several whirlwinds appeared out of thin air around the small wind element, and then it began to spin on its own.
After a few seconds, it stopped. Levi noticed that its height and size had increased a lot, and now it looked bigger than an ordinary human.
He immediately looked at the opponent's attribute panel, and then he found that in addition to the slight enhancement of the original attributes and skills, the opponent also gained two new skills, low-altitude flight and wind blade, which greatly increased his combat power.
But before he could say anything, the system prompt popped up again.
"After your excellent command, your summoned creature - small wind element successfully advanced in battle. As a result, you successfully comprehended the magic - summon element (medium) and magic expertise - repatriate summoned creature."
Summon Elemental (Medium): Tier 2
Active skill, consumes 25 magic points, summons a medium-sized element (earth, fire, water, wind or other with lower probability), based on your current state, the maximum number maintained at the same time is 1.
Repatriate Summons:
Active skill, no consumption required, you can interrupt a creature you summoned at any time and send it back to its original plane and area.
Levi was suddenly extremely surprised. Although the system explained it like this, he had expertise in directional summoning, and it seemed that the medium-sized element and the small element could coexist. Then, coupled with skills such as summoning monsters and summoning sub-airs, he would be very powerful just by summoning creatures!
As for the repatriation of the summoned creatures, this was obviously to encourage him to train more summoned creatures and not let them die easily. It would be best to send them back to recuperate when they were seriously injured.
While I was pleasantly surprised, another system prompt came up: "In recognition of your excellent command and careful training, the Medium Wind Element has decided to pledge allegiance to you. Do you accept? Yes/No."
This was another unexpected gain, and Levi immediately chose to accept it, so he had an extra level 2 subordinate.
Although it loses the blessing of its expertise and its attributes are slightly weakened after being transformed from a summoned creature into a subordinate, it is a permanent existence and no longer requires magic to summon.
But correspondingly, it also requires some special supplies, that is, 1 unit of micro wind element crystal or basic magic element per week.
Fortunately, the price is not expensive. Since the Flame War Goose also needs similar supplies, Levi specially went to buy some.
If converted into money, the maintenance cost of a medium-sized wind element is only 20% to 30% more expensive than that of an ordinary level 2 half-elf, but it does not need to eat regularly, and its combat power is obviously much stronger than that of an ordinary half-elf, so overall, it is still very worthwhile.
As soon as he saw the smile on Levi's face and the obvious change in the wind element, the Lightforger knew that something must have happened that he didn't understand for the time being, and it was almost certainly a good thing for Levi.
However, he was very wise not to ask any questions. It is offensive to pry into other people's privacy no matter where you are.
After finishing this matter, they continued to move forward . Although Levi had been fully alert, unexpectedly, there were no enemies in the woods. They came to an open space in the middle of the woods very smoothly, and saw several special-looking things there at first glance.
The first one was a tree, about one meter tall, with a faint light flickering all over it. It didn't look like a real tree, but more like a decoration. Then there was a small tree man doll and a locked treasure chest.
The distance between them was so close, so even though there might be some traps, Levi didn't care too much. He directly let the two Guang Yakong rush over. After all, they were summoned creatures, so even if there was any danger, it would not be a big problem.
Then the two Guang Yakongs successfully retrieved the tree man doll, and even with a little effort, they carried the tree back as well, without encountering any traps or obstacles along the way.
Now Levi and the Lightforged were finally relieved. Levi first asked Zhou Miyin to replace Sam to be on guard against the possible bee-man troops and witches, and then asked Sam to try to open the treasure chest.
As for himself, he looked at the two things in front of him, and then he finally figured out why the defense of those tree people was so strong before, because it was actually a battle treasure!
Twisted Treant's Guardian Staff (Campaign Artifact - Blue - Rare):
Can be placed in the forest, or equipped by a hero unit, increasing the defense of all friendly tree soldiers not higher than level 4 within a radius of 80 meters by +8 and the upper limit of health by +10 (up to 100 people). If you choose to place it in the forest, it cannot be moved within 3 days, otherwise the bonus will be temporarily invalid and can only be used normally again after 3 days.
Requirements: Campaign Level 3
Limited professions: Druid, Ranger, God Tree Ghost, Woodland Lord, etc.
(It is said to be a battle artifact made by the twisted tree spirit Maokai, which can enhance the strength of low- and medium-level tree people)
Levi saw the name Maokai again, and he felt like he was in a little trouble. How powerful would Maokai be to be able to create such a battle treasure?
Although this thing can also be used by rangers, they currently have no channels to recruit tree people, so Levi has a vague idea of exchanging it for something with others.
As for the second piece of equipment, its versatility is much stronger, but of course, it is also much weaker.
Miniature Tree Man Statue (Wonderful Item - Amulet - Green - Excellent):
The statue contains a first-level magic - Awakening the Treeman 3/3. 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.
Awaken the Treant, Level 1, designate any tree, and awaken a Treant from it to serve you, which lasts for 10 minutes. There is an 80% chance that the Treant will be a Level 1 Treant, and a 20% chance that it will be a Level 2 Treant.
Requirements: Intelligence 8, Hero/God's Chosen Hero
(The power that drives the tree man may also represent the friendship from the forest?)
Since they were in a team, the Lightforged was able to see all this information. He couldn't help but be surprised and sigh, and finally understood why the tree people here were particularly tough even though they were all tree people.
However, although he was amazed, he did not have too much desire for the battle treasure because he knew his own limitations.
Now not only has he given up his position as captain, but even with his contribution to the team, he can't get that thing at all. He might as well desire something more practical, such as the miniature tree man statue.
Levi also saw what the other party meant, so even though Sam was still struggling to unlock the door, not knowing if there was anything else to be gained from it, he still threw the thing over directly and very readily: "Lightforger, thank you for your hard work before. This little thing is just a token of my appreciation."
The Lightforger was not polite. He just smiled and put it away: "Okay, Levi, then I won't be polite."
Then he returned the favor: "Well, if there are any other spoils, I won't participate. Of course, if there is some money in the treasure chest that can be used to replenish the army, that would be great."
Although the contact time was still brief, he felt that he had roughly figured out the other person's character. In short, he was a smart, rational and loyal guy, and perhaps worthy of becoming a long-term teammate.
Levi smiled, very satisfied with the Lightforger's understanding.
After a few dozen seconds, Sam cheered and took out a pile of copper and silver coins from the treasure chest.
Well, it seems that the Lightforger is lucky. In addition to two bark scrolls and a gem ring, there is also a lot of money in it, about a dozen gold coins, right?
Hmm? Why are there a few bamboo boards? Could they be something needed for that mission?
When he just left the Novice Village, Levi collected a few scattered castanets from some ogres, goblins and the like. They said that after collecting a set, he could complete the task and obtain the relics of a certain bard.
However, after fighting so many battles in succession and killing hundreds or even thousands of enemies, he had not made half of the progress. This was mainly because the cymbals were scattered all over the place with no pattern at all.
I really don’t know how powerful that bard is. There are traces of him everywhere. Or did he die so tragically that various parts of his body were eaten by many enemies, and then the castanets were scattered all over the place?
At this time, the Lightforger said in doubt: "Levi, can those castanets..."
Levi was also a little surprised: "You are collecting them too?"
When he asked this, the Lightforger immediately understood something. He nodded helplessly, "Yes, I am also collecting it, but the drop rate of this thing is very outrageous, and every monster has it. I only have 4 of them now. But on the other hand, once the task is completed, the harvest should be quite good."
Levi smiled. He understood what the other party meant. Wasn't it just taking the opportunity to raise the price?
After taking a glance at the team's contributions, he found that the Lightforger still had some left, so he simply said, "I'll give you half of these gold coins, and you can pick two more pieces of equipment. I'll take the rest and your castanets. How do you think?"
The Lightforger smiled upon hearing this: "Okay, no problem. I won't be polite then. If there are any more castanets, I'll keep them for you."
Although he knew that there must be a task with very good rewards behind these castanets, after all, it was very difficult to collect them, but he had no idea when he could collect them all, and he had no confidence that he could compete with Levi, so it would be better to directly exchange them for the most practical money.
Handing over a few castanets, the Lightforger said, "Levi, next time we have a chance to go find trouble with that vampire together, I will prepare some holy water for your troops."
Although he also lost a lot of troops in this battle, the recruitment cost of level 1 troops is very cheap, usually only about 1 silver coin, and level 2 is only 2 to 3 silver coins.
As everyone's strength continues to grow, the number and strength of the indigenous people that can be recruited in the tavern are also steadily increasing. This money is not only enough for him to make up for the losses, but also to expand the size of the team.
Not to mention the treasure, experience points, and most importantly, friendship with Levi. This is already a huge profit, right?
It is important for people to be content. If you are greedy, you will be like a snake swallowing an elephant!
Levi couldn't help but smile again and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"
