Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 175: Diva's Intelligence
The Sun Knight, who soon received elite subordinates, was the first to express his gratitude. At the same time, he also told Levi that he had new clues about the escaped Undead Chosen Heroes.
Some people have seen them in the territory of Western humans. Later, they were hated by everyone because of their identity as the undead. They were unlucky enough to be encountered by a team of temple priests and were eventually wiped out. Now no one knows where they have gone to resurrect.
The chosen heroes can choose their own resurrection location, but when the power to which the resurrection location belongs changes, they will not be able to resurrect there. Now that Silent Manor belongs to Levi and others, they of course can no longer use it and can only choose other resurrection points.
If they don't have any resurrection points, they generally have two choices: randomly resurrect to the nearest village of their own race, or completely randomly resurrect within the villages of all factions and all races.
But no matter what they choose, they obviously have to accumulate reputation and subordinates again. In short, for Levi and his men, it is almost impossible for the other side to pose any threat in the short term.
But the Sun Knight also reminded Levi that the real owner of Silent Manor, the old vampire who had killed dozens of God's Chosen Heroes, still had no trace.
The Sun Knight is still sending people to track down and try to get rid of this trouble completely. After all, their guild’s base was snatched from the other party, and he won’t feel at ease unless he kills the other party.
But he also reminded Levi to be more careful, because Levi had made great efforts in the whole process. Considering the degree of vengeance of vampires, both of them were definitely on each other's revenge list. After all, they directly raided each other's house.
Levi nodded, and of course he was a little wary.
Generally speaking, this kind of inexplicable situation is definitely not a good thing.
"Oh, by the way, the other thing you asked me to do has also been resolved. Someone does have the magic to summon large elements, but the other party probably thinks it is a rare commodity and is asking for a very high price. It's totally exorbitant, so I need to confirm with you again."
Levi couldn't help but frown: "Is there no way to bargain?"
As the battle became more intense, the strength of the summoned elements gradually failed to keep up. No matter whether it was the more resilient earth element or the agile wind element, they all died quickly when facing the demon army. After all, most of them had fire attacks.
However, the wind element that had become his subordinate would become even weaker after losing the bonus of summoning-related expertise, and it would be difficult for it to accumulate experience points. He could only send it to retirement.
So Levi thought about seeking a breakthrough through other means. Although there is hope now, even the Sun Knight who has money thinks it is expensive. Even if he doesn't ask the price at all, he knows that it must be ridiculously expensive.
The Sun Knight spread his hands and said, "After all, it is an extremely rare 4th-level magic. There is a reason why it is so expensive."
"But it's not that you can't bargain at all. If you can exchange it for enough gold coins, he might consider it, but I really don't have any extra gold coins."
Levi was stunned for a moment, and even temporarily ignored the unexpected situation of the 4th-level magic: "So you didn't use gold coins before?"
The Sun Knight smiled without saying anything, but it was obvious that he was using the power of money in reality.
Levi couldn't help but sigh softly: "Really, I owe you another favor."
"Ha, why are you saying this? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a place as nice as Silent Manor. And it's not like I can't afford it, I just need to confirm with you again."
"After all, the requirements for using that thing are quite high. It requires 15 points of intelligence, as well as the basic and intermediate summoning elements. You probably won't be able to use it in the short term."
In the process of learning magic and skills, the bare attributes before any equipment is added are generally required. The initial attributes of the High Elf Mages are exactly the same, and the intelligence is 7.
Based on this calculation, Levi needs to reach at least level 8, and add points to his intelligence, to meet the requirements of this magic.
Don’t even mention level 8. At this stage, anyone who can reach level 5 is definitely considered a master .
Levi sighed again: "I'm just afraid that we don't have much time, and if we miss this time, we don't know when the next time will be."
As for the level issue, he didn't care too much about it, because he would soon be level 7 and the gap was not too big.
After thinking about it, Levi took out a bunch of things that he had no use for but was reluctant to sell, and gave them all to the other party.
+4 Unholy Flail, a Ring of Bone, a Broken Howling Banner, a Gem Scarab that can be used as a wizard's familiar, dozens of hunting shackles, and a Reaper Ballista.
No one in his team has learned how to control the crossbow, and he can't run to the east with the people temporarily recruited from the village, so he only leaves one. If there is a chance to use it, he will find two people to try to use it and see if they are lucky enough to hit the enemy.
After receiving this pile of things, the Sun Knight immediately understood what he meant. Levi still wanted to use gold coins to complete the deal and didn't want to owe him a favor.
He immediately couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You guy, if I don't force you, no one will know that you have hidden so many good things. But if I have them, I can try to exchange them for gold coins through the merchant Tross you recommended and the channel of Lotus. Maybe there will be some surplus."
Li Wei waved his hand: "Thank you very much, the rest will be used to pay the bill."
In order to recruit these high elves today, he still owed them a sum of money.
After finishing this short but very important conversation, Levi still wanted to find an opportunity to see if he could get some more useful information from the commander, but the elite Guang Yakong suddenly came over on his own initiative.
Levi immediately knew that something was wrong, and he even guessed what it was.
"Is it that witch Diva?"
Guang Yakong nodded: "Yes, my lord, she has summoned my people again, and they are very close to here."
Levi felt that things might be a little serious. He had arrived at the village last night, but she did not contact him. But now she took the risk to find him in broad daylight. You know there are thousands of indigenous high elves and so many God-chosen heroes at the scene. Something important must have happened!
He immediately said goodbye to the Sun Knight and others, and following Guang Yakong's guidance, he met them in a grove somewhere.
Then he found that compared to the last time they met, there were even fewer troops around the enemy this time, less than twenty jackals in total. Except for two large jackals that should belong to Chen Zhui, the last man, there were no ordinary jackals, hyenas or the like left, obviously all killed by the enemy.
With this amount of troops, even if she is a hero unit, she will be in danger if she encounters a group of demons.
And it wasn't just the witch Tiwa who looked exhausted, but the last Chen Zhui also looked dejected and no longer had his previous spirit.
Although no one knew what had happened, it was obvious that she and Chen Zui were basically at the end of their rope.
Without any politeness, the witch Diva said seriously, "Levi, the demons are overdrawing the power of the abyss rift to speed up the summoning and strengthening of the demon army. Although the rift has become smaller, their average strength will definitely be strengthened to a considerable extent in a short period of time."
Levi looked up at the abyss rift in the air. He could see no changes, but the other party should not lie to him about this because there was no need at all.
Moreover, he personally felt it yesterday that the average strength of the demons had indeed increased.
"So, you want to join forces with me to disrupt their actions?"
The witch Diva's mouth twitched suddenly. I'm here to warn you of the seriousness of the matter, not to ask you to be a hero! Aren't we paying too much attention to the difference?
Chen Zhui couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What are you trying to destroy? It's impossible. Near that magic circle, even the level 3 Horned Demon can only serve as cannon fodder. Level 4 and even level 5 demons are everywhere."
“Levi, forget about us. Even if we bring hundreds of God’s Chosen Heroes with us, we will just die in vain and serve as sacrifices to them.”
It can be seen that although only a very short period of time has passed, Chen Zhui of the End Times is now very dejected. He is probably really frightened by those demons.
However, if he was not lying and the demons were really that powerful, even if Levi led the team himself, he would probably end up with the same miserable fate.
The witch Diva followed suit and said, "That's right, Levi. The demons have set up a magic circle whose scope I don't even know. All the dead, whether they are gnolls, humans, high elves, or demons, will become part of the sacrifice."
"Moreover, that magic circle leads directly to the Abyss. No matter which of our two sides has dead bodies, it will charge the magic circle, and the demon army will receive new reinforcements."
"At the same time, after all the non-demons die in battle, their remains will continue to be used to attack us. With our strength, it is impossible for us to affect the magic circle."
Levi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. In fact, he had roughly understood what the other party said. Before, at the entrance of Maple Leaf Village, he had seen with his own eyes the corpses and even souls of those jackals continuing to invade the village.
The only thing he was confused about was that if the demons were so powerful, how would he, the chosen heroes of God, cope with it?
Could it be that we could only sit back and watch the demons continue to expand their army and prepare for war, and then end up being defeated in the face of waves of stronger demons? That would be too boring.
Then suddenly, Levi's mind raced: "Tiva, you mean that our strength is not enough, what if it is a legendary wizard?"
The witch Diva said without hesitation: "Of course it is possible, but it is impossible for us to find such a being in a short period of time."
Levi immediately smiled. Just because we can’t find it, doesn’t mean other indigenous people can’t find it.
Combined with the information he just got from the commander, it seems that this is a defensive mission that will last for half a month, and then after the reinforcements from Teclis and other kingdoms arrive, the high elves will launch a full-scale counterattack and even close all the abyss rifts in one fell swoop?
Seeing that he was not panicked at all, but instead showed a mysterious smile, the witch Tiva was immediately filled with question marks.
She had heard that all high elves were arrogant and conceited. Levi's previous performance made her doubt that the rumors were false, but she didn't expect that he would become like this now?
But Chen Zhui, the last man standing next to him, seemed to have noticed something. He had never been a fool, but he was just unlucky this time.
He immediately asked tentatively: "Levi, did you get any information?"
Levi glanced at him and didn't give a direct answer: "It's just a trivial rumor, not even intelligence."
"However, speaking of which, the Stoney Highlands has now completely become the territory of the demons. Do you have any other resurrection points?"
The Doomsday Chen Zhui, who was originally trying to test the enemy, suddenly lost his temper. After a short silence, he could only sigh, "I know I can't hide it from you, so I absolutely cannot die now, because I have no idea where I will be randomly teleported to by the system if I die in battle."
Levi nodded, having roughly figured out the intentions of the two jackals in front of him: "So you want to march eastward?"
Chen Zhui of the Last World was immediately cheered up: "That's right, I will continue to head east. I have already inquired about it. After passing through your high elves' colony, the Longfang Road is not far ahead. As long as I pass through the territory of the ogres, I can reach the Zhendan Dynasty."
"If I'm lucky enough, I might even be able to hitch a ride on a caravan, which would be even more convenient."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhui couldn't help being absent-minded, as if he had already thought about what he would do after arriving in Zhendan, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, and drinking sweet and salty drinks after drinking tofu pudding.
Levi couldn't help but grin. Although the other party said it was very simple, the process was actually very dangerous and difficult.
The Long Fang Road can basically be understood as the ancient Silk Road of China. Although it is lucrative, it is also very dangerous. In addition to various ferocious beasts, the most important thing is a kind of fat brothers with big bellies, three or four meters tall, with muscles all over their bodies, who rob people openly on the road.
That's right, it's an ogre.
Somewhat similar to the high elves, their race is too powerful, so their initial troops are weak, and most of them are goblins, cowards, and various worthless beasts.
But once they reached level 3 and became an army composed purely of ogres, their strength was vastly different from before.
Not to mention ordinary people or ordinary caravans, even the officials of the Zhendan Dynasty would win over some, suppress some, and finally use iron-blooded means to kill the last part of the most hostile ogres. They did not intend to kill all the ogres.
But despite this, they could not pass smoothly every time, because no one knew how many ogres from different tribes were hidden in the endless mountains.
Zhou Miyin, Yu Yong, and even Zhou Jiliang and others who had previously sold the glazed jade lion to Li Wei, their ancestors were a Zhendan merchant caravan, but they were crippled by ogres and some other external reasons, which led them to take root in a foreign country and never go back.
Therefore, in theory, it is almost impossible for Chen Zhui to pass through the ogres' territory by himself in the last days, and he can only wish him good luck.
Of course, he was also very good at dealing with things. After all, he was asking Levi for help, so Levi didn't even need to ask. He took the initiative to offer a building blueprint. After spending a certain amount of resources to build it, he could summon a certain number of level 1 beasts - ferocious ostriches - every week.
Although Levi didn't think much of it, and he felt that this thing was probably the same as the War Goose, which looked good but was not conducive to actual combat, it was still a precious architectural blueprint after all, and it would be nice to put it in the guild, and it was worth the price of the money.
The witch Diva next to him also nodded: "Levi, I have thought about it seriously. I need to continue changing my camp. Just like you said, defeating demons is definitely the fastest way. I want to become a lawful neutral camp as soon as possible."
"The Rocky Highlands are too close to the Abyss Rift, and it will definitely become more and more dangerous in the future, so I am thinking of challenging some scattered demons in the east."
"I won't ask you for help in vain. I also know some earth magic. If you are willing to learn, I can teach you. I will also help you in battle."
At the same time, she had an idea. If she could frequently fight against demons there, and then gradually be known to the high elves, or even see it with their own eyes, wouldn't that be more helpful to her future development?
But in order to avoid being killed by the other party and the devil, she still needs a talisman, such as Levi in front of her.
Although Levi is not clear about the other party's full intentions for the time being, he can get a general idea by thinking about it casually.
More importantly, while the witch Tiwa was speaking, the Doomsday Chen Zhui next to him kept casting resentful looks at him, as if Levi had eaten up the cabbages he had grown himself.
Although this description is not particularly appropriate, it is obvious that Chen Zhui believes that after today's meeting, the witch Diva should no longer have anything to do with him, and as she spends more and more time with Levi, the chance of her being recruited by Levi will also increase sharply...
Levi smiled. Indeed, compared to the little magic such as ground spikes and earth spears mastered by the witch Tiva, she herself was more valuable.
In that case, let’s just lay it out there and talk about it.
"In fact, we already have our own village for the God-chosen Hero. It is the Silent Manor that originally belonged to the Undead. If you are willing, Diva..."
As soon as the words came out, the resentment in Chen Zhui's eyes became even stronger, but now Levi would no longer care about his thoughts. He had been with the witch for almost half a month, and they had experienced hardships together many times, but now he couldn't deal with her, so he couldn't blame himself.
The witch Diva chuckled and declined: "Levi, I have received your kindness, but I also want to work hard. Although the gnoll tribe is small, I am a hero after all."
Levi nodded to show his understanding. In fact, he had no intention of recruiting the other party so easily. He just took this opportunity to formally express his friendly attitude.
After thinking about it for a while, since the two jackals said that the Rocky Highlands and even the nearby areas would be very dangerous recently, there was no need to go there for the time being. He just followed their wishes and headed for the town in the east. Anyway, he was already very interested in the battle taking place there.
But before leaving, there is another place to go...
Thinking of this, he smiled again: "Diva, Chen Cone of the Last World, I wonder if you are interested in the dragon warrior and a kobold wizard hero?"
