Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 142 Crazy Exchange
Early the next morning, Levi did not go to meet Donna and others first, but went directly to the quartermaster's office, ready to exchange his military merit points for some things.
Because he waited until ten o'clock yesterday evening, but he didn't wait for the person he expected, and Guang Yakong also shook his head and said that there was no similar aura nearby.
The two jackals, Chen Zhui, the last days' leader, and the witch Tiwa, broke their promise.
But according to his previous speculation, even if the witch Tiwa changed her mind halfway, Chen Zhui of the End Times might even give up on her and come to meet Levi alone in private.
But they didn't show up in the end, which only meant one possibility, that something special happened in Rocky Heights.
Either it was extremely beneficial to them, making them decide to continue standing behind Hogg, or they were busy with other things and could not get away for the time being.
But no matter what the reason, it was not a good thing for Levi. He felt the prelude to an impending storm.
At the same time, he also contacted the God-chosen heroes who participated in the mission with the old wizard on the forum yesterday.
Just as the old village chief had worried, they were indeed ambushed and besieged by the gnolls, and even met Hogg himself, a boss who was more powerful and robust than the ordinary gnoll warlord.
But the battle was over too quickly. At least several hundred gnolls launched a sneak attack on them, and a large number of peripheral troops were killed instantly. The old wizard, who was the backbone and absolute main force of the team, had just time to put on a wizard armor when several assassin-type soldiers in the shape of bats jumped out from the shadows and knocked him out.
So they didn't even have a chance to figure out how many tricks the other side had, or what kind of troops they had, before they were knocked unconscious, and then there was a long period of darkness.
Their current state is extremely strange. Once they enter the game, they are shown as being in a coma. Not only are they unable to check their own attributes, they are also unable to transmit any information to the outside world. They were even unable to receive the regional announcement that the Dragon Prince was injured.
This immediately alerted Levi. To be able to do this, perhaps only a god-level strongman could do it himself? Those unlucky guys might be undergoing a special sacrifice ceremony!
And those bat assassins are most likely referring to the Shadow Demons, right?
If they are demons like Yeenoghu Fangs, it would be fine. But if they exist as summoned creatures, does that mean that Hogg has powerful beings like the fly demon they killed beside him?
So he went straight to the quartermaster early in the morning, wanting to quickly improve his combat effectiveness by exchanging military merit points, and he did not intend to keep any surplus, because if things were really as he guessed, even if he got the heart of the village, it would probably be of no use in a short time.
"Hello, Lord Levi, your military merit points balance is 3583."
That’s right, although Levi was not the first to go to the Stoney Highlands, he came from behind and achieved rich military merits that 99% of the God-chosen heroes could only dream of.
Especially in the many battles in the past two days, he had reaped rich rewards. Even the fangs of one of the werewolves provided him with more than a hundred points, and this did not even count the military merit points he had used for Donna's White Lion!
"I want to exchange for one copy each of the Mage Specialties Elemental Focus - Fire, Elemental Focus - Earth, and Concentrated Casting. I also want one copy of the Campaign Skill - Elementary Military Command."
Elemental Focus - Fire: When casting fire magic, attack power +5%, magic cost reduced by 5%;
Elemental Focus - Earth: When casting earth magic, attack power +5%, magic cost reduced by 5%;
Focus on casting spells, you can better control the power of magic, even if you are attacked, it is less likely to be interrupted, and the chance of backlash after magic fails is reduced;
Military Selection (Elementary): When commanding 0-3 level troops, the leadership required for each troop type is reduced by 1, and the minimum is reduced to 1.
The effects of the first three are not particularly good at this stage, but exchanging them is to prepare for learning Ma Youfu's Micrometeor, and many magics in the future will also require similar expertise. Their true value is not as simple as it seems.
As for the latter, it is to solve his increasingly stretched leadership problems.
"Okay, you have consumed a total of 1,700 military merit points."
With four skill books, he was already not far from the heart of the village, and could almost recruit two hero units, but Levi still chose to exchange them without hesitation, and that was not the end.
"I need another ranger's feat - Beast Friend, and a Beast Affinity Scroll."
Beast Best Friend: Beasts regard you as a best friend. Your friendship with non-combat beasts is improved. And for every 5 levels your combat level increases, you can have an additional animal companion.
Donna is now level 5. In addition to the Pride Lion of Rahago, she can have another one. The saber-toothed tiger Laxili chosen for her is Levi.
However, Donna’s current level is not high enough to tame a sabertooth tiger of at least level 4 elite, so she needs a scroll of beast affinity.
Although it lasts only a short time, only three minutes, its effect is unquestionable.
In addition to further improving friendliness, during the duration, the ranger or druid can, to a certain extent, overcome level restrictions and recruit more powerful beasts, and the success rate will also increase accordingly, which is just right for Donna and the saber-toothed tiger Laxili!
"Okay, you have used up a total of 1,050 military merit points. Do you need anything else?"
Even though the quartermaster had been serving many God-chosen heroes here for seven or eight days, this was the first time he had encountered such a generous gift, so even he could not hide his surprise. With so many military merit points, his military rank could definitely be raised!
Levi subconsciously glanced at his pocket. Usually there would always be a little green frog there, but now there was nothing there. Because when the two jackals broke their promise, he realized that things had taken an unpredictable turn, so he directly cancelled the contract with the little frog.
It would be impossible to say that he had no feelings for it at all after spending so many days together, but both he and it had to face a cruel reality: in the increasingly fierce battle, its role was really minimal, and they both needed to make changes.
However, he did not abandon it directly, but temporarily handed it over to the trainer for management, hoping that when he has free time, he can help it find someone who needs it.
"Finally, I need an excellent magical familiar. If possible, I would like to use up all my remaining military merits."
Originally, he planned to recruit several powerful subordinates, but after what happened yesterday, he felt that this might not be necessary for the time being.
The military merits required for the 4th-level troops are too great. Even if one gives his all, he can only recruit a few. Moreover, if the number is too small, the power they can exert in actual combat may not be that strong.
Based on the current composition of Levi's troops, he only needs two types of subordinates.
One is a shooter, the other is a meat shield for holding the line, and the others can be placed at the back. However, a few scattered level 4 soldiers cannot show much ability in this environment, so it is better to use them to continue to strengthen their own strength.
The quartermaster was embarrassed when he heard this: "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have such an expensive pet, and there is no pet in the town that requires so much military merit."
Generally speaking, those who can serve as a wizard's pets are ordinary small animals that do not possess magical powers. Only after signing a pet contract with the wizard will their life forms change and they will be able to display many special abilities.
Therefore, the most expensive animal here from the quartermaster only requires 500 military merit points. Even if he exchanges it, Levi will still have some left.
"Then bring out the best ones and let me choose them myself."
The quartermaster quickly took action and took Levi to a remote location, showing off their most precious little animals.
Levi looked around and saw roughly a dozen species, including bats, frogs, cats, falcons, lizards, mice, snakes, ravens, weasels, etc. However, unlike common small animals, most of them had some special features that made it impossible to misunderstand them.
After looking back and forth several times, his eyes finally fell on a colorful parrot with rainbow-colored feathers.
"how was it?"
The quartermaster immediately gave him a thumbs up and said, "Sir, you have a good eye. This is the most expensive colorful parrot here. It requires 500 military merit points. It is said to be extremely rare, even rare in a hundred years. It is possible that this parrot can learn magic. Our acting lord also uses this kind of magical pet."
Perhaps it was because of Levi’s rank, reputation, or the legendary status of the region, but the quartermaster was extremely polite to him.
Upon hearing what the other party said, Levi, who was already very interested, immediately made a decision: "Then I'll take it!"
The boss of this overseas colony of the High Elves is undoubtedly the legendary lord, Imrik, the Dragon Prince of Caledor.
However, the boss was said to be away fighting all year round, so he appointed an acting lord and several generals within the colony.
It is said that the Acting Lord is an extremely powerful female fire magician who also owns a red dragon as a mount. Following her and making the same choice would definitely be an excellent choice.
The quartermaster quickly and enthusiastically brought out the cage. Levi did not waste any time and signed a magic pet contract with the other party on the spot.
As the light flashed, a weak but extremely strong mental connection was established.
"You have successfully concluded a pet contract."

Special ability of the Bugsaw pet: You can store certain non-offensive magic in the Bugsaw in advance, and then have it activate and release it when needed.
If you do this, you need to consume twice the magic points in advance. When it is activated, the Blarney Parrot will consume 10 times the magic points of the class according to the magic class, and this magic will not be enhanced by your equipment, expertise or any other related skills.
The highest level of magic a Blarney can store, the maximum amount of magic it can store at one time, and the longest time magic can be stored will depend on its level and related attributes such as Intelligence.
The current highest level is: Level 1, (level + intelligence)/5;
The maximum number is 2 , (Intelligence/3);
The maximum time is 6 minutes, (level + intelligence).
(The number of buffalo parrots is extremely rare, and the colorful buffalo parrot is often rarely seen in a century)
Wow, Levi finally understood why even a great magician like the Acting Lord who rides a red dragon would choose to use this little guy as a magical pet. It is really too powerful!
Based on its special abilities, he could cast two spells in advance, and then activate them after letting it fly to the target location. This could determine the outcome of the battle at the critical moment.
Although it can only store non-offensive magic, this is not a big problem at all. No matter whether it is auxiliary magic such as Grease and Spider Web, or summoning magic such as summoning elements and summoning monsters, they are not inferior to offensive magic at all at the critical moment.
And judging from the system description, the little guy obviously hasn't reached the peak of his bird life. The most obvious thing is that he is clearly seven-color, but his magic is only three-color. From this point of view, his future is limitless!
