Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 244: Choice of Field
Both of them have straightforward personalities, so they made an agreement very easily. After dealing with the Lizardmen tribe and the greenskins in the Underdark, Alduin would return to Bitao Village with Levi to resist the invasion of the Shahuagin, and they would even go to Zhendan together to visit the real dragon.
Then Levi took the opportunity to invite Nar. He was indeed a little envious of the other party's abilities. It was the first time he heard that the natural department actually had this kind of special magic to fight against arrows.
But Nar, who had adjusted her expression, politely declined. She was indeed grateful for Levi's gift, but she had not been in contact with the Harper for a long time. After she and Alduin ended the war with the greenskins, she needed to go back first.
Levi didn't feel surprised. Compared to the straightforward and slightly careless Alduin, Nar was obviously much more intelligent. This was probably one of the hard conditions for the Harpers to select members.
Because their entry test often requires them to serve as spies for evil forces for a period of time. If they are too stupid, it will not only harm themselves.
He wasn't stupid enough to ask her where she was going. Everything about the Harpist was a secret. There was no point in asking. Instead, it would only cause the other party to be disgusted.
Taking this opportunity, Levi also asked them both, wanting them to help Cindy with some advice on field selection.
It turns out that he asked the right person, as they both knew something about this.
According to them, even though the gods mentioned are different, as long as they are in the same field, the spells and abilities obtained must be exactly the same. Even the abilities obtained by each level of priests are almost fixed.
Just as Levi guessed, both the domains of Law and Good provide the ability to fight against chaos and evil, such as anti-evil magic circles.
The protection field mainly increases resistance to spells and can also take care of friendly forces a little.
The strength area mainly improves personal combat capability, with a focus on assistance, defense, and control. In the final stage, it is even possible to learn the famous Bigby's Slap.
Bigby was once a very famous human wizard. He invented many powerful magics named after him. Their power lies in the fact that they are all position-based magics and are difficult to be cracked by conventional magic.
And like Cindy's psychic hammer, they are also summoned by magic and possess a certain basic combat awareness. They can often take effect multiple times during their duration, rather than being a one-time deal. This immediately attracted Levi and Cindy.
As for the final realm of war, as the name suggests, it emphasizes combat, demonized weapons, demonized armor, and even several laws, among which there is even a law - death.
Once this move is used, if the enemy's relevant attributes, magic resistance or level are not up to standard, it will be killed instantly no matter how much health it has left.
Levi was overwhelmed with emotion after hearing this. After thanking Alduin and the others, he immediately made a new decision and let Cindy choose between the two fields of strength and war.
The big loli thanked them both, then closed her eyes and entered a special state, as if she was comprehending those related abilities.
Taking advantage of this gap, Levi also asked another question. If that's the case, the strengths and weaknesses of abilities in different fields are very obvious, so most priests will definitely choose strong fields such as war and strength.
Nar blinked, but before she could answer, Alduin beside her laughed out loud: "Levi, there has never been true fairness between realms, and not all priests like to fight. Most importantly, even if the gods treat everyone equally, can all priests really comprehend those abilities?"
In a flash, Levi completely understood what Alduin meant. No wonder the system just prompted that a priest could gain at most 1 new ability for every 2 levels/stages, because there is a possibility that no new ability may be obtained!
But thinking about the big Lolita's talent and luck, he instantly calmed down. He believed that she would definitely be able to gain new abilities.
At this time, Zhou Miyin and others had almost finished cleaning up the battlefield. Overall, there was not much worth paying attention to.
The lizardmen were still in a very barbaric and primitive state, and their shabby stone and bone weapons were not worth mentioning at all, and it was even difficult to recycle them.
They only provided some weapon skill books about spears, javelins, etc., and not even a copper coin, because there was no business and trade among the lizardmen at all, they only knew how to plunder.
The dragon beasts dropped a lot of materials such as bones, blood and scales, which can be used to make equipment and potions, etc. Although they are mixed-blood hybrid dragon beasts, they have some dragon blood and are still of some value.
Instead, the fly demon hero dropped a few small equipments that enhanced dark magic, plus a magic book of summoning demons (elementary).
Unfortunately, Levi can only look at it but not use it. Otherwise, once the demon is summoned, based on the personalities of the celestial creatures, they will start a civil war first, and will almost certainly change their attitude towards Levi because of this.
The indigenous people are extremely cautious about this aspect. Whenever they encounter humans or elves who summon and control demons, they basically have the same attitude, which is to capture them or kill them directly. In many cases, even the interrogation process will be omitted.
They even set up special organizations. For example, the Sigma Empire has witch hunters, and Julia was originally one of them.
In addition, there are a large number of churches and non-governmental organizations that will specially send people to monitor relevant situations. The harpist who came from Nar is one of them.
So no matter from which perspective, it is impossible for Levi to learn this magic, even though it is the summoning magic he prefers.
When the natives monitor the situation in this regard, they do not distinguish whether you are a native or a chosen hero. In this respect, they treat everyone equally.
The reason why he was so sure was because a warlock with succubus bloodline had tried to play some tricks while the demons were raiding the main world two days ago. He conspired with a demon hero to open a small legendary gate for the demons.
He had a good idea at the time. Since the demons could not break into the town for the time being, if he could let them in and let them succeed, he would obviously benefit from it with the little demon blood in his body, right?
Then he was killed by the holy knights under the command of Tyr, the god of justice of mankind, who rushed into the tavern, but that was not the end. His resurrection point was blocked immediately and he was killed three times in a row.
Many of his subordinates were lawful and good-minded. After learning of his evil plans from the paladins, many of them chose to betray him on the spot, including a heroic unit.
And unlike ordinary battles, those holy warriors had obviously made preparations in advance. They carried special magic tools and set up magic circles.
Therefore, when he is killed, he will not only fall into a weakened state, but also lose a lot of experience points, which makes him dare not go online until now, because other chosen heroes can see that those paladins are still lurking in the tavern.
He is protesting to the game officials because of this matter, but just like what happened to other people before, no matter whether it is suggestions, opinions or anything else, the officials never make any response, as if they don't exist at all.
So even if there was the slightest possibility of being misunderstood, Levi didn't want to get involved in this aspect at all.
While his mind was racing, Levi also gathered all the spoils together and pretended to share them with Alduin and the others. Although they both knew that more than 90% of the credit for this battle was due to his troops, since he wanted to recruit the two of them, he naturally had to show his attitude.
Naturally, Alduin refused at the first opportunity. It was Levi who helped them this time. Without Levi's troops, the Lizardmen would probably rush out of here directly and cause greater damage outside. Then all their efforts during this period would be in vain. How could he have the face to ask for the spoils now?
Nar, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment and took away the summoned demon. Before Levi or Alduin could ask any questions, she began to explain: "I think it's better not to leave this kind of evil magic outside. I will find a way to destroy it."
Alduin finally saw clearly what it was. He had just been thinking about not wanting anything, but he didn't notice what it was. Seeing this, he couldn't help but nodded: "That's right, those who use demons will be attacked by the demons one day."
Levi did not comment on this. It also depends on the comparison of power between the two sides. For example, the demon hunter Illidan, let alone ordinary demons, even ordinary demon lords would probably be as obedient as dogs in front of him, so how could he retaliate?
However, this is an opportunity to win people's hearts.
After thinking about it, Levi gave all the evil sacrificial rituals he had obtained from the devil to Nar. These broken things were of no use in his hands, and he couldn't even sell them.
The other God-chosen heroes aren't stupid either. Not to mention spending money to buy these broken things, they wouldn't even dare to use them even if they were given money!
Both Alduin and Nar were a little surprised, and then Alduin couldn't help but say excitedly: "Levi, you really are worthy of being a partner of justice!"
Nar didn't say anything in agreement, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Levi had obviously become a little softer.
Levi waved his hands and didn't take it seriously at all.
At this moment, Cindy next to him let out a low cry and opened her eyes again. He immediately ran over and looked at her impatiently.
Looking at Levi who was almost within reach, Cindy's face turned red, but soon she said with a little excitement: "Brother Levi, I have learned several new abilities, but I can only choose two today."
"What?"
"Several?"
Levi hadn't replied yet, but Alduin and Nar, who came along with him, exclaimed in surprise. They looked at Cindy as if she were a monster, because this was totally against common sense!
Which priest, after choosing a domain, doesn't pray devoutly for a long time before he can barely obtain an ability? It only took you a few minutes and you directly obtained more than one ability?
Levi just laughed and didn't feel too surprised. She was already famous with the great god Sigmar. How could she be the same as an ordinary priest?
"Tell us about it, and we can all give you some advice."
"Oh, first up is the realm of war, I can choose between enchanted weapons, battle rage, and weapon master."
"Then choose Weapon Master."
Levi didn't even consider this because he happened to know all three abilities.
Not to mention the enchanted weapons, he can use them himself. Battle fury is a common ability of combat priests, which can increase the physical attack power and critical strike rate of oneself or friendly forces in the next attack, which is somewhat similar to the heavy attack of warrior professions.
For Cindy, it cannot be said that it is completely meaningless, but it is really not very meaningful.
In comparison, the Weapon Master is much more powerful.
Because its effect is to allow the target to directly obtain a certain general combat expertise in a short period of time if it meets the requirements of attributes and prerequisite expertise.
From the Elegy's Cleave and Critical Focus, to the ordinary Shield Proficiency and Heavy Armor Proficiency, and even Blind Fighting and Moving Shooting, etc., in theory all can be obtained through this ability, which is too powerful.
Now in the whole game there are few God-chosen hero warriors who have learned this skill, but priests can easily obtain it by clearing the realm. In comparison, it can only be said that warriors are really miserable.
Cindy said, "In the field of strength, I can choose giant transformation or bull strength."
Levi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's choose the giant transformation technique first."
Bayoru has the ability to change his body shape, and his height and weight will change accordingly. This giant transformation technique works on a similar principle.
It can double the height of a medium-sized humanoid creature, increase its weight to 8 times its original value, increase its strength by +2, and its agility by -2. When using physical attacks, the hit rate will be reduced.
Under normal circumstances, this magic is not considered a reinforcement. On the contrary, it may become a target for enemy ranged units due to its increased size.
The versatility of Bull's Brute Force is much higher. It is an advanced version of the Secondary Bull's Brute Force. The effect is doubled and it can increase strength by 4 points, which is a significant enhancement.
Therefore, Alduin and others were somewhat confused about Levi's choice.
But that's because they were thinking differently from Levi, who was focused on large-scale battles rather than small-scale adventures.
In previous battles, he had seen Dragonfang Soldiers being beaten to the ground by Lizardman warriors more than once. When he was not strong enough, he was easily invaded by trolls and other enemies in the melee troops and wreaked havoc.
In addition to their lack of strength and power, their relatively light weight may also be one of the reasons.
Zhou Miyin had performed outstandingly in battle more than once before by relying on the bonus to his weight from his perseverance. His skill was only increased by 2 times, while his giant transformation skill increased it by 8 times. I'm afraid those dragon beasts just now could hardly hit him, right?
Thinking of this, Levi waved his hand and called Zhou Miyin over, asked Cindy to cast the giant transformation spell on him, and then have a fight with Alduin.
So Zhou Miyin immediately turned into a big man with a height of nearly four meters. When he stomped his feet, the nearby ground would tremble slightly. At the same time, his armor, weapons, etc. were also enlarged in proportion.
This made him feel very curious. It was the first time for him to look down at everyone from such a high position.
Alduin also became interested. He wielded his sword and shield and started fighting with Zhou Miyin. However, since this was just a sparring match, he deliberately restrained his strength and did not really use any brutal force.
But despite this, Zhou Miyin still quickly fell down. Even if it was a head-on fight, the weight increased by 8 times was still not enough for him to gain an advantage in this competition. He would still be knocked back step by step by Alduin's shield.
However, when he used the Hold skill under Levi's command, the two skills combined and became 16 times his body weight. The situation immediately improved, and Alduin could not shake him easily.
After trying it several times on other Silver Guards and even calling Legionnaires Yakong and Simon over to compete with each other, Levi felt very satisfied.
With the ability to transform into a giant, not to mention trolls, even ordinary ogres, or even the charge of low-level cavalry, would find it impossible to break through their positions easily.
For example, it was difficult to knock over the Arion Riders, and it was completely impossible to knock over the Huntresses.
After the level 4 silver-helmet knights gather in sufficient numbers and use a wave-like charge, they may be able to forcibly break through the formation. However, due to the silver light guards' anti-large-scale and charge-resisting skills, they themselves will also be seriously injured.
Speaking of which, Alduin's power is really strong, definitely over 20 points. It's probably some kind of enhancement that comes with his Dragonborn status.
And now he is not in his strongest state. When he was eating shark meat before, he once showed the head of a dragon...
After the competition, Alduin and others understood Levi's intention.
In fact, this is also due to the difference in concepts. For a small-scale adventure team, when facing cavalry or stronger enemies, they often do not fight hard, but try their best to dodge or parry.
But legion fights are different. If the melee troops dodge, the relatively vulnerable long-range shooters behind them will be exposed. In many cases, they have to fight back.
After the competition, the other subordinates basically recovered to their peak condition. After discussing with Alduin and others, Levi left Simon and a considerable number of weaker infantry and archers, and then prepared to enter the Underdark.
Although the Underdark is very vast, even in terms of area alone, it is entirely possible that it is larger than the world on the ground, because it exists there more than once.
But at the same time, the Underdark is also composed of a series of huge caves, and the relatively complex terrain makes it unfavorable for shooting in many cases.
Even the drow elves who migrated there from the surface long ago gradually abandoned bows and arrows and turned to lighter weapons such as crossbows, short swords and daggers, because they are more suitable for the terrain of the Underdark.
Donna left behind an elite Sky Eagle Sharpshooter who performed well as the temporary commander of this remaining force. Levi also left behind some celestial creatures including the Legion Sub-King and the Supervisory Sub-King, ready to communicate in an emergency.
Although this place is very remote and, apart from Levi, the last time Alduin encountered a living person passing by was a month ago, it is always better to be prepared.
After everything was ready, Alduin went in first. He had dealt with the Lizardmen many times and had invaded the Underdark several times, so he was quite familiar with the terrain below.
And because bronze dragons are amphibious and love hunting sharks in the deep sea, they have also evolved dark vision. He, a bronze dragonborn, has inherited this ability and can lead the way.
Then hundreds of troops filed in. As the passage was narrow, it could not accommodate too many troops at the same time, so Levi mixed melee troops and ranged troops together this time. This way, no matter when a battle broke out, they would not be completely defenseless.
Once you enter the underground, the light instantly dims, leaving only some luminous moss plants on the walls and the ground. There are also some special crystals or rocks on the top of the cave, emitting faint light.
Even with hundreds of people moving forward, it should theoretically be a bit noisy, but suddenly, it was as if they had crossed a certain boundary, and everything became quiet and deep.
Many people realized that this was not the place they should enter. This was the territory of creatures that had dark vision or simply did not need light like cave dwellers.
But Levi was well prepared. He and Xiao Qi cast spells at the same time, summoning a dozen Holy Light Sub-Skys and letting them float evenly around the opponent. The eternal flames of these large light balls came in handy in this environment.
As they appeared one after another, everyone's vision became much clearer. Although it was still far from comparable to being outside, at least they didn't have to worry too much about being attacked by the enemy.
Nar in the team opened her mouth and wanted to remind them that this kind of light source was too eye-catching in the underdark. However, after looking at the army of hundreds of people and then at Levi, she finally took back her words.
No matter what kind of accident happens, I believe Levi has a way to deal with it, right?
Probably because the strong men in the tribe were tricked by the fly demon into dying, they did not encounter any enemies at the beginning.
As they continued to move forward, the passage began to become wider and wider, and could accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people moving side by side at the same time. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be called a road here, and there was no place to stand.
Levi also discovered that his previous understanding of the Underdark was slightly biased.
At first he thought that this was just a bunch of hollow caves connected to each other, but now he discovered that there were other terrains here, including bottomless cliffs, ice caves, lava caves, and some waters. In short, it was very magical.
And every time they encountered these special terrains, there would basically be some special or tricky enemies lurking there. Perhaps it was because of this that they were not killed by the passing war lizards.
There are some blind geckos in the water, fire lizards in the lava caves, and more than a dozen ice elements and cold ice elements of all sizes in the ice caves.
They were almost like a combination of water elementals and ice elementals, and their strength was quite good, but they were easily wiped out under the rain of arrows from Donna, Lisadilan and Avalon.
After killing them, Levi was very surprised to find that this was actually an elemental God-given building - the Ice Cave, and the recruitment capacity was full, and 8 level 3 ice elements and 5 level 4 ice elements could be recruited.
Among them, the ice element has the ability of water combat, ice arrows, fire weaknesses and frost attacks, and can reduce the enemy's movement speed with a low probability. The ice element is its advanced version, with an additional protective skill of ice shield, which can be released to itself or friendly forces.
What else is there to say? Levi will of course recruit them directly. It would be best if he could train them all into ice elements, so that he can release ice shields specifically for his own units in battle in the future.
With the appearance of more than a dozen elements, Levi laughed and then chose to plunder this God-given building.
Anyway, it is almost impossible for him to visit here for the second time, so it is natural to maximize its surplus value.
With a series of clanging sounds, the original God-given building became a mess, and a small pile of materials and gold coins appeared in front of Levi, and he earned back half of the money he had just spent.
This made Na, who had watched the whole thing, speechless for a moment, but she changed her mind and thought, Li Wei was usually so careful with his calculations, but he had given her two very precious seeds without hesitation before, which meant...
But then she shook her head secretly. Although she had no other friends besides Alduin, she was still a member of the Harper and she needed to return to report what happened here.
If the Harper didn't give her any quests after that, she could go to Bitao Village to look for Alduin and Levi.
Just as she was thinking, Alduin in front of her began to remind Levi: "We are about to reach the lair of the lizardmen. I feel something is wrong because I don't see any sentinels."
Although he had only come here twice due to the weak strength of his Dragon Tooth Soldiers, there were always many sentinels on the road each time, which made him feel very strange this time.
Just as Li Wei was about to respond, he heard Xiao Tian in front of him suddenly shout, "Be careful, enemy attack!"
Almost at the same time, in the darkness, a series of flapping wings sounds were heard. Levi immediately understood that the enemy was definitely not a lizard man. When he thought about what the fly demon hero said before his death, could it be a Kwaser demon?
If that's the case, then they aren't particularly difficult enemies to deal with.
Michaela had told him before that after leaving the Abyss and entering the main world, the strength of the demons would be affected to varying degrees, which would cause many demons in actual combat to not look as scary as in the legends.
But if that were all, would the fly demon be so proud?
But the next moment, when a huge monster killed Holy Light Yakong in the front row with one claw, looking at the other's blood-red vertical pupils and the long fangs exposed at the corners of his mouth, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: Is this possible?
Alduin roared immediately, and a blazing white light emanated from his body, illuminating him like a torch.
At the same time, his whole body grew a little bigger, and scales emerged from his exposed skin. His entire head turned into a hideous yet majestic dragon head. It was obvious that he had fallen into extreme rage and used all his strength.
"Damn undead creatures, how dare you blaspheme the descendants of the dragon like this? Break the evil!"
