Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 243: Cindy at Level 6
The fly demon instantly became furious: "Ah, damned elf, you will pay the price for your stupidity and offense against me, and the price will be death!"
Several fly demons nearby also shouted in response and began to cast magic.
But even though it shouted like that, the leading fly demon actually took completely the opposite action. It didn't even say hello to its companions, but turned around and pounced towards the direction of the passage.
At the same time, it secretly comforted itself that one failure was not a big deal, the Underdark was very vast, it could just find another place to hold the sacrificial ceremony again.
But Levi laughed instead. It was said that most demons were warlike, but from what he saw and knew, once they were transformed into hero-level units, they would immediately become much more cunning. Maybe he had caught a big fish again this time.
Unfortunately, the other party is still not smart enough. Since he knows there is a conspiracy behind the scenes, how could he not be prepared?
Almost at the moment the other party turned around, a giant white magic web fell from the sky. It was Xiaoqi who had been lurking on the other side. The spider web was a natural nemesis of flies.
Levi also threw an ice storm over at the right time, and all the fly demons were trapped on the spot. Xiaotian and many celestial creatures also rushed forward and launched a siege on them.
When the duration of the spider web spell ended, only the fly demon that tried to escape was left, and its other companions had all turned into corpses.
Under normal circumstances, the fly demons that can use a lot of small magics are still not easy to deal with, especially when they can use summoning magic to buy time for themselves. But in this situation where their strength is completely crushed, they really have no room to struggle at all.
Even though they are demons, once so many celestial creatures get close to them, they basically can't cast any magic.
Seeing that the fly demon's wings and black robe were torn to pieces, and its hands and feet were held down by several burly tiger masters, it was completely under control, but was not killed immediately. Alduin and Nar, who had already surrounded it, knew that Levi must have some other means to deal with it.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The disheveled fly demon rolled his disgusting compound eyes and said, "Tell me the truth, can I exchange it for another life?"
Levi smiled and said, "It depends on whether your intelligence is valuable enough, and you have no room for bargaining."
The Fly Demon snorted coldly: "Then you should also know that as a high-level demon, I am not particularly afraid of death."
As heroic demons, even if they were killed in the main world, they could still be successfully resurrected as long as they paid some price.
Then it changed the subject: "Unless you promise not to kill me."
Levi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as your information is valuable enough, I can spare you."
As soon as the words came out, Alduin next to him wanted to refuse immediately, but Nar next to him immediately pulled him back.
Although they had just known each other for less than an hour, with so many celestial creatures following him, how could Levi easily let a demon go?
The fly demon thought about it and felt that something was not right. This was too smooth. The other party did not seem to be consistent with its past understanding of the high elves. However, it still revealed some information in the end.
It turned out that it was also a demon that fled from the Black Castle after being defeated. By coincidence, it entered the Underdark through a secret passage.
At the cost of losing almost all of its demon subordinates, it barely controlled these war lizardmen and learned the situation of this passage.
So it planned to use the lizardmen as consumables, use a sacrificial ritual to summon powerful demons, and then kill Alduin and Nar to perform a more important sacrifice.
For the demons, the value of hero units as sacrifices is undoubtedly much higher than ordinary low-level troops.
But it never expected that the plan, which it thought was foolproof, would have a major error. Levi and others suddenly appeared here, causing its plan to completely fail.
After looking at Nar, Levi knew that the fly demon should not lie. This was indeed in line with the demons ' code of conduct, but the problem was, where did those war lizardmen curse-singers and descendants of evil dragons go?
Especially the latter, if there were no descendants of the evil dragon, Levi would not have been able to connect these war lizardmen and the old black dragon so easily.
But when he asked this question, the fly demon just kept shaking its head and said that it didn't know. When it arrived, those things didn't exist in the War Lizardmen tribe, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to influence the minds of so many War Lizardmen so easily.
As soon as he saw its appearance, Levi knew that even if it was hiding something, it would not tell him.
As for matters concerning other demons, let alone how much a guy who ran away alone could know, even if it knew, it might not be willing to tell me.
In fact, he was already very surprised that it could reveal so much information.
In this case, it only has one value left...
Seeing Levi's slightly strange look, the Fly Demon immediately knew something was wrong. It shouted, "I have told you enough information. You can't break your promise, or your camp will be seriously shifted!"
It's not that its words are completely unreasonable. As a lawful good faction, many actions such as lying or breaking promises may indeed have an impact.
But that wouldn't work in just one or two times, not to mention that Levi was not only a God-chosen hero, he also had no intention of actually doing it himself.
"Cindy!"
The big loli immediately burst into laughter. In fact, she had already had a premonition when Brother Levi was communicating with the other party before.
So when she heard his words, she threw a Sigma Comet directly, which instantly created a bleeding hole in the fly demon's chest.
But even after suffering such injuries, the fly demon did not die immediately. It even did not seem too surprised by Levi's change of heart. It had already had too many similar experiences when it was in the bottomless abyss.
It just said sinisterly: "Elf, don't be too proud, you only won a temporary victory!"
Levi narrowed his eyes immediately. This guy was indeed not honest. He must be hiding something.
Nar next to it wanted to ask more questions, but Cindy's two psychic hammers had already fallen, taking away its last bit of health.
As it died, a series of system prompts popped up.
Not surprisingly, due to the lower average strength of the Lizardmen, they had crushed the other side, so the evaluation of this battle was not high, but apart from a fragment of the Hero's Spirit, they also gained a lot in other aspects.
"Elegy's combat level is raised to 6th, and she gains the feat - Critical Focus."
Heavy Attack Focus, when using a heavy attack, the attack power is increased (based on strength), and the critical hit rate and critical hit damage rate are increased by 15%.
Heavy attack is a common offensive skill for warriors. Although the effect does not seem to be particularly powerful, it has the advantage of low consumption and is very practical, so it appears quite frequently in battle. It is not surprising that Elegy chose this expertise, but it is not bad.
Several other ordinary troops were also advanced, including infantry, archers and huntresses. Levi just looked at them, what was really important was that after so much hard work, Cindy was finally able to advance to become the first 6th-level soldier under his command.
Attributes: Strength 15, Agility 12, Constitution 14, Intelligence 9, Perception 18, Charisma 9
Now she truly became a hexagonal warrior, with 14 points of physique, plus the bonus from elites and equipment, her health points had easily exceeded 200 points.
If she releases various buff states, her survivability on the battlefield should be the strongest among all his subordinates, and maybe not just one of them, but the only one.
"Your subordinate Cindy has advanced. Because she killed a heroic unit, she has a random skill upgraded. Her enhanced psychic weapon - hammer has been upgraded to psychic weapon - God's Burning Hammer, which can add additional light damage (based on charm). It is ineffective against the good camp.
For every 3 levels or 2 ranks that the level increases, the maximum number of psychic hammers that can exist at the same time increases by 1, and the current number is 3. "
Not only has the double happiness become triple, but the power has also been further improved than before. Most enemies have low resistance to light.
As for its ineffectiveness against the good camp, that is even less of a problem. If it is not necessary, Levi would not fight with the other side. The evil creatures such as demons, beastmen, greenskins, etc. are too numerous to kill.
Now Levi began to suspect that it was not only the great god Sigma who was protecting Cindy, but the goddess of luck was also watching her. She had mastered more than a dozen skills, but it was this skill that allowed her to be successfully promoted. It was impossible for him not to have wild thoughts.
New skill 1, Fury of Order, is an active skill that consumes 20 magic points. It guides the power of order to attack enemies in the chaotic camp, causing damage and having a chance to stun them (based on the level and intelligence of both parties). It is ineffective against lawful creatures.
He had just witnessed more than once the powerful power of Alduin's shield strike skill after it caused dizziness to the enemy. He didn't expect that Cindy also obtained such a skill. He just didn't know how high the probability was.
New skill 2: field selection.
The deity a cleric worships often affects their alignment, the spells they can cast, their values, and how others view them.
For high-level priests, they can choose up to two domains from the domains owned by their gods. Depending on the power of the gods, each domain can provide a variety of additional skills or spells, etc.
In each field, a priest can gain up to 1 new ability for every 2 levels/tiers. The stronger the priest is, the stronger the ability he gains.
After reading it, Levi was even more surprised.
Now he knows that, unlike heroic units, the new abilities acquired by ordinary soldiers after upgrading are uncontrollable and cannot be selected. They are all randomly assigned by the system based on their strength.
At first glance, the new skills Cindy acquired may not seem like much, only two, but in fact, not only are they extremely effective, but they are also incredibly expandable.
Unlike ordinary creatures, the strength of gods is not only affected by their level, but to a greater extent by their level of divinity, priesthood, and divine domain.
As the name suggests, the levels of the Godhead can be simply understood as a set of levels unique to God.
In addition to killing hostile divine creatures, they rely more on the power of faith from mortals, slowly accumulating and converting it into divine power, and then using it to improve their own level of divinity.
In addition to the degree of piety of the believers, it is also closely related to the believers' wisdom, the plane they are in, the type of creatures, etc.
One elf or human may be able to defeat thousands of goblins and ogres. The power of faith that angels and other celestial creatures can provide is far less than that of ordinary humans. That is why the gods pay so much attention to the many intelligent creatures in the main world. This is also an important reason why this world is called the main world.
Divine duties can be understood as the aspects that gods are in charge of or are interested in.
For example, Levi is more familiar with the Moonbow Goddess, whose duties include the moon, stars, dreams, mysticism, and death.
She had shown some ability in the first few, but in the final death, Levi didn't see any sign of it at all, and her many priests had no ability in this regard at all.
All we can say is that Moonbow Goddess wants to develop in this direction, but there may not be any progress for the time being.
Recently, she has been actively competing with the other two elven gods for the faith of the night elves. Who knows, one day her church may announce that she has a new priesthood - the night elf.
Similarly, the other two elven gods can also claim to possess the elven priesthood.
Everything that happens regarding the priesthood may benefit the god, just like the battles in the overworld benefit the god of war.
However, because many gods from different pantheons may have the same priesthood, and not all gods are necessarily strong in this area, they may compete with each other in various ways, which is usually one of the reasons for conflicts between most gods.
As for the divine domains, they are relatively easy to understand. They are usually an expansion of the priesthood held by the gods, and also determine the general categories of power that the priests of the gods can use.
The Imperial God of War Sigmar, whom Cindy currently believes in, possesses many divine domains such as war, law, goodness, strength and protection. If each of these divine domains can be expanded into several spells, that would be too powerful!
The only thing that bothered Levi a little was that if Cindy was still an ordinary soldier, she could only obtain a maximum of 3 spells in each field. After all, at present, it seemed that the soldier could only be upgraded to level 7 at most.
But if she could be advanced to a heroic unit, she would at most be able to obtain 9 spells in a single field, which was a huge gap.
However, after pausing for a few seconds, he did not hear the system prompt saying that Cindy's potential had reached its limit. Levi immediately made up his mind. In this case, he would naturally let Cindy continue to try to advance.
Previously, the 4th-level Leonidas could be upgraded to a green-quality hero under the protection of the gods. What kind of hero would Cindy become if he was replaced by the 7th-level Cindy? He was really looking forward to it!
The next step is to choose the field.
Levi first abandoned Law and Goodness. Most of the spells in these two areas were like the Spear of Pure Good, which had special attack skills against evil creatures, but Cindy no longer lacked this power.
Among the remaining three areas, protection should be considered an alternative answer. In Levi's opinion, when facing most enemies, defense is more important than attack, otherwise it is very likely that you will end up like the green-skinned old shaman before.
His attack magic made everyone, including Levi and a group of elite mages in the Temple of Arcane, helpless, but when they were attacked unexpectedly, they were killed instantly by Michaela's ultimate move.
Although this is also because Michaela is very powerful, it is an indisputable fact that the old shaman's defense is relatively weak among those of the same level.
If he could have stronger defense, with his several special skills, he might be able to deal with Michaela for a while. And if coupled with the greenskin warriors who would arrive later, Levi and his men might suffer heavy losses.
However, the last two areas of war and power made him a little undecided for a while, because to some extent, they looked very similar, and he felt it necessary to collect some more relevant materials on the forum.
However, due to the current level of the chosen heroes, there may not be much information. It seems that in the meantime, we still need to ask more from the natives...
Thinking of this, his attention gradually shifted to Nar and Alduin.
After the fly demon hero was killed, they tacitly began to check the corpses of the war lizardmen and dragon beasts on the ground around them, as if trying to find some clues from them.
Since the fly demons died too quickly, there was no time to hold a sacrificial ceremony, so the priests did not continue to use the silver magic circle to purify the corpses on the ground.
As for the Dragon Tooth Soldiers that Alduin had led before, there were basically only a few left, and some of them were seriously injured. They were currently helping Zhou Miyin and others clean up the battlefield.
Levi did ask a few priests to take care of them, but he soon found that the other party was a hopeless case, with only a few weaklings. It would be better to use that energy to take care of his own people.
So even though they were not the main attack target of the Lizardmen, they still suffered heavy losses. This further confirmed Levi's guess that maybe they were really grown by Alduin using his own teeth.
Noticing Levi's eyes, Nar, who was more perceptive, stood up first.
Levi smiled and said, "Why, did you find anything?"
Nar shook her head: "I'm sorry, I didn't find any useful clues, Levi, do you know what it said at the end?"
"It's nothing more than some kind of conspiracy intended to kill and destroy. This is the nature of demons, but we will have to see the details later. Even under the threat of death, I can't be sure how much of the fly demon's words are true."
"But even if we kill all these troglodytes, we still need to go deep into the Underdark to see for ourselves, right?"
Nar nodded immediately. Indeed, that was the way it should be.
"By the way, this is your seed."
Nar took out two ancient guardian seeds. Although she did it without any hesitation, Levi knew from her lingering eyes that she was still somewhat reluctant in her heart.
So he smiled again and said, "No need. They are just seeds in my hands. They can only play the greatest role in your hands."
This was of course a lie. After all, they could remain in the village as defensive facilities. Both Levi and Nar knew this.
However, Levi now has more money on hand and no longer cares too much about these two seeds. After all, he didn't spend a single copper coin on them. They were rewards for the tasks assigned to him by the priests of the Moonbow Temple.
Moreover, just like Reiner wanted to take Alduin away with the dragon and the gem ring, if he could successfully recruit Nar, what would it matter if he gave her the seed? It was just like a reward to his subordinates in advance!
Moreover, the value of her and the Harpists alliance behind her far exceeds the mere two seeds.
Naer bit her lip, she was not a fool. Why would the other party treat her so generously?
But she was really reluctant to part with these two seeds. As a nature druid, even if she was a high elf and a member of the Harpists, it was almost impossible for her to get such things by her own strength. The night elves were very xenophobic.
Unfortunately, because she had been staying here recently to resist the lizardmen, except for a few pieces of equipment she used for herself, everything else was almost used up, and she had nothing else to exchange...
Could it be that he sold himself just for two seeds? That was too cheap.
I'm a level 8 druid, so I need at least five, no, at least ten, right?
Poor Nar didn't know that while she was concentrating on guarding the passage here, the relationship between the night elves and the high elves had become much closer, especially the recent series of actions of the Moonbow Goddess, which accelerated this process.
Although these seeds are precious, they are not as precious as she imagined.
But after a brief silence, Nar's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at her companions behind her.
"Alduin!"
The Bronze Dragonborn Paladin was a little confused for a moment. Why are you asking me to do this? I don’t like those seeds. Can’t you just make the decision yourself?
Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face told Nar and Levi his true meaning.
As a lawful good paladin, he is surprisingly upright in some ways, just like how he devoured the shark's flesh and blood without any scruples before.
Nar's face fell instantly. Really, how could she have been fooled by this idiot in the first place? She actually worked for him for so long for nothing.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand her hint at all, she simply stretched out her hand: "Give me your jeweled ring and other things."
Li Wei's eyes lit up immediately. All? Could there be an unexpected gain?
However, looking at the way these two guys get along, it seems that it is different from what he had previously speculated.
He originally thought that the other party might be a couple who were in love with each other, a man and a woman, who were guarding here alone, far away from the hustle and bustle of the town, without anyone knowing.
But now it seems that the two of them are more like friends and comrades who can trust each other's backs. In this case, perhaps my strategy should be slightly changed...
But compared to him, Alduin felt a little bit painful. There are almost no dragons and dragonborn who don't like shiny things, well, except glass. Gold coins and gems are their favorites.
Now that they have this kind of treasure that can be produced continuously, it is naturally even more of a treasure to them.
But he couldn't refuse Nar now because he owed her.
After a little hesitation, Alduin finally took out a jewel ring and a crystal cloak and planned to give them to Levi.
Levi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are you also planning to collect treasures and combine them into the Horn of Harvest?"
"Ah, yes, what do you have in your hand?" Alduin also became a little interested.
Levi took out the sulfur ring: "This is what I seized from the devil."
"Great, now there's only one mercury bottle left." It can be seen that Alduin is really happy.
But then he thought again, since Na'er asked him to take them out, it was obvious that she was going to exchange them for the two seeds. Even if he collected the Horn of Harvest, it would have nothing to do with him at all...
"Well, if you put together the Horn of Harvest, can you let me see it?"
If it were normal, Levi would only feel disgusted when seeing a muscular man nearly two meters tall showing such a pitiful expression, but now he felt that the other party was quite interesting. Maybe this guy's mental age might not even be older than his own?
Levi pushed back the other person's hand that was raised in the air. "If you are also collecting them, then I can't collect them. A gentleman does not take away what others like."
Alduin was happy at first, but soon he felt two sharp gazes on his back like blades. He gritted his teeth and pushed the thing over again.
"Levi, you are indeed a good person. I just need to wait for you to successfully form the combination and take a look. That will be enough."
As he spoke, Alduin felt his heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do, after all, he owed Nar.
"Okay, that's it, deal!"
Having received a good guy card, Levi stopped pushing it back and forth. In order to avoid any further complications, he put it away directly and made up his mind to mobilize all his strength to get the last mercury bottle.
Whether it becomes a combination treasure or not, the resources you can obtain every day will be several times different.
Speaking of which, Chen Zui of the Last World has already joined Old Black Dragon for several days. It is unknown whether he has penetrated into Old Black Dragon's core, and whether he can get some intelligence or steal some treasures.
The treasure of a legendary black dragon that is trying to become a god is exciting to think about.
But that's all for the future. He is now considering whether he should offer something else to further bribe Nar.
But she didn't seem to have anything suitable for a druid. If it was still seeds, would it make her realize that these things were not as valuable as she expected? It was a bit of a headache...
After a brief moment of pain, Alduin forced himself to change the subject, as if trying to distract himself from the painful feeling.
"By the way, Levi, that gentleman thing you just mentioned, is it a proverb from Aurora?"
"I heard that the dragons over there are very different from our giant dragons, but they are also very powerful in a fight. I wonder if it's true?"
Levi pondered for a moment and said, "I have only heard some legends and have never actually seen those dragons. But if nothing unexpected happens, after I finish the battle with the demons and greenskins, I might cross the territories of many ogre kingdoms and go to Zhendan to see for myself."
According to what we know now, the Zhendan Dynasty had a total of 11 dragon gods. They were a pair of parents who gave birth to 9 children. They formed a very united dragon god system and ruled Zhendan.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and most of them had descendants. Those descendants were often no longer dragon gods, but divine dragons.
But after thousands of years of reproduction, many Zhendan people indirectly possessed the bloodline of the Dragon God.
Therefore, there, many humans are very proud to call themselves descendants of dragons, and a very small number of humans are able to control the power of dragons, or temporarily transform into dragons.
However, the more powerful a creature is, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
The Zhendan Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on almost all sides. Apart from the unstable mercenaries such as the Ogres who could act as temporary allies, there were only some naturalized Tiger People, Monkey People and Panda People. Therefore, in the frequent wars, it was inevitable that the Shenlong would suffer casualties.
Although the divine dragons are powerful, many powerful creatures from other worlds are just as powerful, so there are not many divine dragons there.
After a brief pause, Levi continued, "If you are interested, Alduin, why don't you come with me and see it with your own eyes after you have finished the riot here?"
Oduin was immediately tempted, but he was not stupid. This so-called together did not just mean traveling together...
Nar next to her was not surprised at all. She had already noticed that the look in Levi's eyes when he looked at her and Alduin was more of admiration than just admiration.
He wanted to recruit both of them as his subordinates, just as most lords did.
However, if it is him, it would be a good choice. Just looking at the composition of his team, you can tell that he is warmly welcomed by many lawful and kind races.
"If you are willing to trust me, you can take charge of the Horn of Harvest."
Of course, he is just in charge. Li Wei didn’t say that all the output must be handed over to the other party. Anyway, didn’t the other party just say that he just wanted to take a look?
"Also, there is a pearl shell field and a small fire element passage in my Bitao Village. Are you interested?"
In fact, Michaela had deliberately put some pearls in the space ring, intending to give them to Alduin as snacks, but he didn't expect the war lizards to come too quickly, and before he could take them out, they had become what they are now.
But if it is used now to seduce this bronze dragonborn, it is still a sure thing. There is no other way, who makes them like this?
Unexpectedly, Alduin had also heard of this name: "Bitao Village? Is it the Bitao Village that originally belonged to your lord, the Dragon Prince, and can go directly to the sea along the river?"
Levi smiled to himself, knowing that the fish had been hooked, but on the surface he sighed.
"Yes, it used to be quite prosperous there, but it has recently been attacked by some evil Shahua fishmen. We are not good at naval battles, so it is difficult to fight against them. I really hope there will be a righteous man who is good at naval battles and can help us solve this disaster..."
After hearing this series of information, Alduin's eyes suddenly widened, because he liked each one very much. He didn't expect that so many things could be gathered together, and the price was not particularly high.
Even though Levi is a high elf, he definitely cannot compete with himself as a dragonborn in terms of longevity.
And to put it bluntly, in this time of war, the proportion of intelligent creatures that can actually survive to the end of their lifespan is really too small...
In a flash, Alduin felt his mind was clearer than ever before, which gave him even greater self-confidence that the decision he was about to make would definitely be the right one.
But what he didn't see was that Nar, who was a few meters behind him, had already covered her face with a little helplessness.
"Okay, Levi, if that's the case, I'll agree to it, but I also have conditions."
"In addition to what you just said, your level and strength must also be higher than mine. We Bronze Dragonborn will not easily serve those who are weaker than ourselves, slurp."
Oduin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. When he was imagining a bright future, he accidentally drooled.
Naer covered her face more and more. She didn't feel completely ashamed. She was more annoyed. She was annoyed why she was tricked into helping by such a stupid guy.
Levi seemed unaware of this. He just laughed out loud: "Welcome to join us, Alduin. Believe me, I will not let you down."
Alduin is only level 9 now, just like him. With them starting from the same level, how could he, as a hero chosen by God, lose to the other in leveling?
