Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 129: Key Intelligence
All the troops were ready to go. Even though many of the chosen heroes had already witnessed how powerful Levi was, they still couldn't help but gather around to watch and let out a series of exclamations.
In addition to the extremely high quality of Levi's team, there was also a bright glow on the weapons of many people.
Red fire, green wind, blue water, yellow earth, and even the relatively rare white light and black darkness. After a few casual glances, they found that the weapons of at least a dozen people were enchanted.
And it’s not the basic enchantment that can only increase attack power by 1, but a higher-level elemental enchantment!
Although Levi seemed to be the only person nearby who could provide enchanting services, people from other regions and races had already gone to the town and seen many new things, so they were not so unsophisticated that they could not recognize them at all.
So they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again and again, it was really because Levi was too rich. With the same God-chosen heroes, the gap between everyone was widening almost every day, and it was even so big that many people had no intention of catching up!
Levi was used to these things. In recent days, he would be watched almost every time he appeared in the village. And as his enchantment business grew bigger and more people knew him, the number of times he was watched became more and more frequent.
Especially yesterday, because he had to perform more advanced enchantments on his subordinates, he had delayed a lot of people. If he met those guys, it would inevitably delay some time.
Although he was the only one at the moment, if he wanted to keep this business going for a long time, he naturally couldn't make the relationship too stiff. Besides, they were all high elves, and they might need each other's help at any time.
Of course, we'd better set off quickly now, otherwise if we waste too much time, those guys might seize the opportunity to blame us.
Moreover, he also wanted his subordinates to try out the power of the new weapons. He stayed up all night yesterday and consumed a lot of materials to complete them. Although probably due to the level of enchantment, these weapons only added 1-3 points of elemental attack, but for low-level monsters with almost no magic resistance, it should be able to improve the killing efficiency, right?
The subordinates who got the new weapons were also very excited. No one wanted to become stronger, especially Cindy.
After Donna told him those things, Levi went out of his way to talk to the big loli alone. In addition to making her eyes red several times, he also got a new hidden mission - determined for revenge.
The goal of the mission is to train the big loli to be stronger. Every time her strength advances by one level, some of her father's former friends or subordinates will come to help. Now that she is at level 3, someone should be on the way.
If she can be promoted to level 4, Levi can officially start her revenge on the Snake Cult at any time, with the target being a level 4 python knight. Once successful, in addition to Cindy's strength being further improved, there will also be other additional rewards.
Levi privately thought that this might be referring to the favor of some powerful forces. After all, the existence of the Snake Cult was a serious stain on many good or lawful camps.
They may be limited by certain internal factors and therefore unable to eradicate the Snake Cult in one go, but if Levi can achieve certain results, there is no reason for them not to go with the flow.
Thanks to the battle yesterday, Cindy's strength has improved greatly. If he wants, it won't take too long for him to reach level 4.
But he didn't want to be in such a hurry. If he could make her stronger, or even make her a heroic unit, would the rewards be different?
She possesses extremely rare psychic powers, and her attribute growth after advancement is also excellent. Levi doesn't want to let her take risks so early!
At this moment, Donna suddenly raised her eyebrows to the side: “Levi, I think that guy is here to see you!”
Looking in the direction, Levi saw a figure that was not unfamiliar to him. It was the priest he had worked with before - the Lightforged.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and I can see that his strength has improved significantly, because he may have used all his military merit points to recruit high elves.
In addition to half-elves and humans, there are about a dozen high elves in his team, and even two level 3 Lothern Ocean Guards. In theory, these expenses are enough to recruit a hero.
And probably because he tasted the sweetness of ranged units when he worked with me last time, his lineup this time was much more stable.
Basically, most of the melee troops hold shields, and the ranged troops use bows and crossbows. There are three or four elven rangers holding dual swords on both sides. Arthur, the taunting foot knight who was specially noticed by Levi last time, not only has updated equipment this time, but also seems to have more muscles on his body, and has obviously become stronger.
Of course, although there are dozens of people, their overall strength is still no match for Levi. Even if only one of him and Donna takes action, it is enough to easily defeat the opponent.
No matter how good the lineup is, it is still insignificant in the face of absolute strength.
After seeing Levi, the Lightforger was immediately delighted. Then he walked over quickly with a slightly serious look and spoke first: "Levi, I found out why there are so many gnolls!"
In fact, it is not just Levi, many people have similar doubts, why are there so many jackals?
If they were really that strong, would they be willing to remain trapped in the barren rocky highlands?
Even among the many regional missions of different races, the Rocky Highlands, which is the first to start, is also the most special one, because the enemies in other regional missions all have theoretically explainable reasons.
For example, mermen can emerge from the water, and there are endless monsters in the sea.
For example, Beastmen or Skaven, they often have dozens of babies in a litter and are very fertile. Even when resources are limited, they will regularly kill each other to reduce their numbers, which is also a disguised way of obtaining food, so it is not surprising that there are so many of them.
For example, as long as the undead don't kill the leading necromancer, they can continuously create new undead as long as there are corpses;
The evil elemental creatures are because there is a giant magic circle that is constantly transforming and so on...
But the Jackals are the only ones who still have no definite, reliable and trustworthy source of manpower.
Ordinary God-chosen heroes might not think too much about it, as long as they could get military merit points by killing the gnolls, it would be enough. However, for the Lightforged, this was far from enough, because he wanted to dig out more intelligence in order to gain more.
And he has really obtained a crucial clue, but unfortunately his strength is far from enough, and he doesn't have more time. Even though he is reluctant to share it with others, he can only take the initiative to find Levi.
Because in his opinion, Levi might be the strongest God-chosen hero nearby, and even one of the best in the entire game. Once he joins, the chances of completing the mission will definitely increase greatly.
Moreover, he was quite satisfied with the previous cooperation. It was much better to find such a generous person to complete the task together than to get nothing in the end.
As soon as he saw the other party's appearance, Levi could roughly guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't want to be too passive in the next process. They had already cleared out the demons' cave once, so they were too experienced in this kind of thing.
"Oh, you found some clues too? Those demons are really restless."
However, I spent half a day searching yesterday but couldn't find the second evil cave. The Lightforger can be said to have both strength and luck.
The Lightforged's eyes suddenly fixed when he heard this. He thought he was secretive enough, but he didn't expect that the other party already had relevant clues. Should he say that he was worthy of being Levi?
He immediately took the initiative to invite: "Okay, since you already have a clue, Levi, I won't waste any more words. I want to invite you to participate in this mission. If you are assigned, it will still be based on contribution. How about it?"
"No problem, but you might be at a disadvantage."
Levi is not bragging, but anyone who has teamed up with him and distributed rewards based on their contributions did not get much in the end. And it is foreseeable that this situation will become more and more serious in the future because he is already much stronger than them.
Moreover, because the strength of the two sides is quite different, once a more intense battle begins, the weaknesses of the people in your team will become more and more obvious, and then they will often suffer heavy losses.
So far, it seems that only the Lightforger himself is lucky enough not to suffer too much loss, while everyone else has not had a good ending...
The Lightforged One was suddenly speechless. If someone else said this, even if he didn't particularly care about it, he would still argue a little. But if it was Levi who said this, he really had nothing to say.
He also claimed to be a master, but compared with the opponent, he still pales in comparison.
The last time they formed a team, he knew that the other side had a beautiful archer who was a hero unit and many elites. But when they met again this time, Levi's troops had greatly improved in both quantity and quality.
He was not sure about other things, but those Jade Warriors and Arion Cavalry were all level 3 soldiers. This alone was enough to make them better than 99% of the God-chosen heroes.
Moreover, the troops are well matched, with infantry, cavalry, archers, and bee people as the air force. In addition, Levi, as a mage, is in charge of command and support. How can he compare with this?
So he could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "Haha, I was underestimated, but it doesn't matter, I still have a mission to complete and can get a certain amount of rewards."
Li Wei nodded immediately: "Okay, let's talk while we walk."
The Lightforged had no objection, of course, so they began to exchange information with each other as they moved toward the Stoney Highlands.
However, after walking a few hundred meters, Levi discovered that although the other party was also talking about demons and the origin of the werewolves on the rocky highlands, it was not the evil cave where the demons held sacrifices like yesterday.
The other party was talking about a special kind of gnoll called Yeenoghu Fang, which not only formed a warband called the Howling Scavengers, but also summoned groups of jackals, hyenas, or other similar canine beasts, and then performed an unholy ritual on the corpses of certain humanoid creatures for the beasts to devour .
After a special magic, all the beasts participating in this feast will quickly transform into real werewolves.
At the same time, Yeenoghu Fang itself possesses extremely special powers. Its fangs and claws, which are full of evil power, may infect vulnerable enemies during battle.
As long as the opponent is a humanoid creature, whether it is a goblin, kobold, halfling, human or high elf, it is possible to transform into a werewolf.
Of course, due to the differences in race and strength before the transformation, their strength after becoming gnolls will also vary greatly, but they are still at least level 1, and there is no need to worry about numbers.
This is what the Lightforged seek, the clue as to why there are so many gnolls in the Stoney Highlands, but it is not the whole story.
Because Yeenoghu Fang is not the gnoll that often appears in the main world. It is named after Yeenoghu, the lord of the 422nd layer of the Abyss and the king of gnolls. It is essentially a demon!
Li Wei suddenly realized: "So that's why!"
Although the methods are different, they achieve the same effect. Moreover, the jackals created in this way are more cost-effective and efficient.
No, perhaps it's because of the different directions. The gnolls transformed by demons should be high-level warlords, while those transformed by Yeenoghu Fang are just cannon fodder!
As soon as he saw Levi's expression, the Lightcaster knew something was wrong: "Levi, what's wrong? Do you think something is wrong?"
He was a little confused now. Could it be that he was being taken advantage of? Did Levi not know the inside story?
Although I was ready to confess when I found the other party, it would be too insincere if the other party really treated me like this.
There was no need to look any further, Levi knew what the other person was thinking. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were in this situation.
So he immediately laughed: "It is true that something is wrong, but it is not a bad thing, but a good thing. The information we have is not the same, but it happens to be able to form a perfect complement. You really gave me a crucial piece of information!"
