Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 118 Doubts
On the sixth day after the regional mission began, Levi was in a particularly happy mood. He started wandering around early in the morning, asking other God-chosen heroes for all kinds of latest information, and even took the initiative to talk to other God-chosen heroes, familiar or unfamiliar.
Not only because of the series of encounters yesterday, which made his overall strength improve, but also because after last night's hard work, he successfully raised his enchantment expertise by 1 level.
In addition to the improved success rate of basic enchantment, from now on, he can also enchant green-quality weapons and even add certain specific attributes to them, including earth, fire, water, wind, light and darkness, a total of six.
However, although the enchantment effect has been improved, the materials required have also increased. In addition to money, these enchantments require corresponding types of elemental crystals, and the success rate is also not 100%.
Even if it fails, it will not affect the performance of the weapon itself, but he also needs to make a little money from it, so the overall cost of enchantment remains high. The reason why he is so proactive is that he needs to choose a suitable target.
To be more precise, the richer ones among them.
There was no way. Although he had some wealth in his hands due to challenging powerful enemies many times and having good luck, he basically spent it all on the old wizard Tess yesterday. And he didn't know if the old guy was deliberately avoiding him as he didn't even come to Maple Leaf Village.
Although a lot of spoils were sold yesterday, Levi still didn't dare to use much of them. He didn't even replace the subordinates lost in yesterday's battle, because he still remembered that people from Zhou Mi'in's village were coming soon. It would be too embarrassing if they brought a lot of troops but he had no money to recruit them.
To this end, he even took advantage of the 5% discount and resold a lot of things from the store, making a small profit from the difference. It can be said that he used every possible means to make money.
Unfortunately, after trying several times, he found that this approach didn't work either, because he couldn't possibly offer the same price as the store. Otherwise, the other God-chosen heroes would suspect he had ulterior motives and wouldn't want to buy from him at all. If they offered the same price, they would feel more at ease if they bought directly from the store.
But if he sells it at a low price, he won't make any money, after all, it's only a 5% discount...
So, either he can get a large number of stable customers, or there are other people willing to help him do this. Otherwise, Levi doesn’t want to try to make money through this method in the short term.
Unfortunately, after two rounds, although he got a lot of useful information, Levi found with great regret that most people were much poorer than himself.
Because they are weaker, it is difficult for them to resolve the battle with the Werewolf patrol without any losses. If there are casualties every time, then unless they are willing to use military merit points to recruit high elf soldiers, they will have to spend money to replenish their troops.
However, this can be regarded as accelerating their growth to some extent. Those who can survive multiple battles will surely see some improvement in both their abilities and combat experience.
After walking around half a circle, Levi decided not to waste any more time and headed directly to the Rocky Highlands. He would wait until night to decide on finding some suckers. Anyway, even for ordinary basic enchantments, there were still people queuing up. In the short term, he would not have to worry about the source of customers. It was just a matter of how much profit he could make.
Then, turning around, he ran into a dejected Richie.
Compared with his high-spirited self , he looked much more embarrassed today. Even of the three little guys who had been following him, only one was left. His army consisted of only three or two small soldiers, and they all looked quite weak. They were probably his new recruits.
As if noticing Levi's gaze, Richie also looked over, and then many complex emotions such as shame and embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
Levi wanted to ask if the other party was chased by the ogres, but he gave up in the end. Richie was already in such a miserable state , and it would not be good to rub salt into the wound.
"I'm sorry, Boss Levi, I really shouldn't have done that yesterday..."
Richie apologized to Levi with a face full of regret, but in fact Levi didn't take it seriously at all. Everyone should be responsible for their own choices. Since you decided to leave my team and choose to work alone, the death of your troops is your own fault.
What he was more concerned about was who killed Richie and what changes had taken place in the strength of the Kobold Camp?
Seeing how curious he was, Richie stopped talking and quickly told him all the information he knew.
Just as Levi had guessed before, he was blown up by the dog-headed man's fireball. Then before he died, he vaguely saw more than twenty tall dragon warriors in front and behind him, as well as many well-equipped dog-headed men.
Unlike the ordinary ogres they had killed before, the scales of these ogres were black, just like those of the dragon warriors.
Levi couldn't help but grin. It seemed that the black dragon in the Underdark really spent a lot of money. Not only did he send out so many level 4 dragon warriors, even those dog-headed people might have the rare dragon bloodline. So what exactly did he want?
Moreover, being so blatant, isn’t he afraid of attracting an encirclement and suppression from the high elves?
Even if there are hundreds or thousands of kobolds, the high elves may not care. After all, they are very weak. After a wave of arrow rain, there is no telling how many percent of them will survive.
But a dragon man as high as level 4, even just one, is enough to pose a certain threat to the surrounding novice villages, not to mention that Richie said there are more than twenty of them.
It seems that after completing the mission in the Stoney Highlands area, the next major activity will most likely be related to the other party.
It seems that the secret mark that the Kobold Hero cast on me might really have a very good effect. Fortunately, I didn't ask the old wizard Tess to help me remove it yesterday...
After learning the general information from Richie, Levi originally planned to say goodbye directly, but he didn't expect that the reason why Richie was so proactive in telling him all the information was that he actually had something to ask of him.
Because almost all of Richie's troops were killed and he had little money, if he didn't want to work for the village and do low-level tasks such as standing guard at the village entrance and patrolling the village, he could only borrow money to recruit new subordinates, so he thought of Levi.
Of course, after what happened yesterday, he felt embarrassed to get something for nothing, so in addition to signing a loan contract under the witness of the system, he also shared a recruitment task.
That's right, it's exactly how to recruit Spartan gladiators.
According to Richie, in a relatively remote place, there was a small Spartan village. All the Spartans were extremely warlike and loved to go out on adventures.
Each God-chosen hero can accept a recruitment mission there every seven days. Depending on the difficulty and completion of the mission, he may obtain different subordinates. He has obtained many Spartan gladiators there before. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to recruit a level 3 Spartan.
After lending the other party some money, Levi also noted down the location on the map. However, it was located somewhere in the northeast, not very close to the village and even farther away from the rocky highlands, so he didn't plan to go there for the time being, and he didn't lack that little bit of troops.
After meeting up with Donna, Cindy and others, Levi headed towards the Rocky Highlands again. He didn't know if all the jackals on the periphery had been killed. This time they encountered very few patrols on the road, and most of the time was spent on hurrying on the road.
This situation made Levi frown, because his military merit points were not enough to exchange for the things he wanted. It would be Now the heart of the village alone could not satisfy his needs. He needed more, not only for himself, but also for Donna and other subordinates.
However, if there are not enough ordinary gnolls to kill, there is another solution. For example, capture the leader first, find the gnoll's big boss Hogg, and kill him!
As the team continued to move forward, the surrounding environment became worse and worse. The original Gobi Desert still had some vegetation, but gradually the surrounding area became bare. Later, all you could see was a mess of rocks. This place truly lived up to its name.
But after killing another group of jackals, Levi felt something was not right. Although the temperature is very high in any terrain like Gobi or desert, the temperature now is a bit abnormal.
And there was something obviously wrong with these enemies just now.
Most jackals have large spots of various colors on their bodies, but at least one-third of the enemies just now were real werewolves.
Moreover, they would often stare with red eyes and go berserk, sacrificing their defense to increase their attack power and attack speed in a short period of time. Even if they were originally only level 2 werewolves, with the blessing of this berserk state, they would have a high probability of breaking through Levi's spider web technique.
Moreover, those hyena whippers also became abnormal. With each whip, they beat the coyotes, hyenas, and jackals until their skin and flesh were torn apart. They lost a certain amount of life without even fighting. However, the eyes of these beasts also turned red, as if they had gained a berserk skill, and their attack power increased greatly in a short period of time.
If it weren't for Levi's Spider Web Technique and Grease Technique, and some fearless summoned creatures leading the way, there would inevitably be some casualties facing the desperate fighting style of the werewolves.
This skill that comes at the cost of loss of life does not seem to be the method of a werewolf or an ordinary animal trainer. It is more like a power from the devil!
Especially after Sam quietly handed him a whip dropped by the tamer, Levi's face became even worse. So after resolving the battle, Levi called several of his trusted subordinates over to discuss the matter together.
Of course, the main participant is still Donna. She is not only a heroic unit, but also the one who has seen the most among the crowd. Most of the others can only listen. It can be regarded as Levi's way of training them a little.
"Donna, do you think the current situation is very similar to what we saw in the swamp that day?"
Donna immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, it's related to the devil?"
Levi nodded immediately: "I originally thought it was related to Hogg and the legendary Wild Wolf Brotherhood, but look at this whip."
Its attributes are not important, after all, it is just an ordinary green weapon. Donna's eyes fell directly on its name, which read - Devil's Whip!
Donna was shocked at first, and then she became confused: "If these gnolls are really related to the devil, then it would explain why there are so many gnolls here that can't be killed."
In just a few days, thousands of Jackals had died at their hands alone, plus the other God-chosen heroes they always met along the way. Just thinking about it, you can tell that in just a few days, at least tens of thousands of Jackals had been killed.
But there are still so many gnolls in the Rocky Highlands, so their origins are very suspicious. If there are really tens of thousands of them, how could they be confined to such a barren and narrow area?
Donna was suddenly surprised when she said this: "Wait, is that Chaos Dwarf from back then also related to them?"
As we all know, the Chaos Dwarves' favorite thing is to summon demons from Hell, and then slowly deal with them with extremely cruel means. According to the information disclosed by a few Chaos Dwarf Chosen Heroes, the Chaos Dwarves, who are also good at forging, will even process demons alive into their various equipment and even war machines .
For example, the Chaos Dwarves have an evil war machine called "Demon's Butt", which is a modification of a living demon, and is said to be able to decide the outcome of a battle with a single fart.
Even real demons would find this kind of transformation unbearable, let alone other races. After all, even if it doesn't launch any attacks, just being there is enough to shock people. No one wants to know what the ammunition it sprays out is made of.
"Yes, I suspect so, but demons and chaos dwarves have always been mortal enemies. Why would he get involved in such an action?"
"And that Chaos Dwarf hero seemed a little too weak. He was killed by you before he could launch any attacks. If there was a connection, why would he run so far away? He couldn't possibly want to summon demons in the swamp, right?"
Demons usually appear with flames, but the swamp is full of mud and water. It is really a thankless task for him to run there to summon demons. It can't be that he does it simply to disgust the demons, right?
Hearing what Levi said, Donna was full of doubts for a moment, but then she waved her hand nonchalantly: "Okay, don't think too much. No matter what he is thinking, he has become a fragment of the hero's spirit in my bag, and the same goes for those jackals or demons who come after him!"
Levi also smiled. He didn't know if it was because he was traumatized by the ogre's trap that he always liked to think too much afterwards. But as Donna said, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and if the water comes, we will block it with earth. As long as all the enemies are killed, there is no need to worry about any other dangers.
However, we still cannot be careless, because demons have the skill of sacrifice. If there really is a big boss like the Demon Lord behind this matter, then the many gnolls who have been killed in the Stoney Highlands, as well as the casualties of the God's Chosen Heroes, may also have certain consequences?
Besides, Donna wanted a complete hero's spirit in the first place. What use would this be to her since she has already become a hero?
Could it be for her friend? But wasn't she well aware of the many drawbacks of the Hero's Spirit?
But no matter what, since Donna didn't want to say more for the time being, he tacitly didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, if his mind changed, or if he was lucky enough in the next two days, he might have extra military merit points to help her realize this little wish.
As for the current priority, it is to find more jackals and even traces of demons as soon as possible, and then kill them all!
While he was thinking, Janet suddenly flapped her wings and hurried back. At the same time, Zhou Miyin, who was in the front, seemed to be aware of something and looked back.
But before they could speak, Donna said directly: "Levi, they are cavalry, at least more than fifty in number!"
