Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 263 Sobek's Choice
As soon as the 120-hour cooling time was up, Levi naturally chose to use it first.
At the beginning, because of his last experience, he didn't want to lead too many subordinates.
Last time, probably because it was the first time, Sobek, out of respect for Paine, allowed them the right to give up after they drew an invincible enemy.
Even when Mastiff-Shoulder Yakon and Lisadiran were unexpectedly defeated and killed in battle, Sobek resurrected them, but Levi was not so sure the second time.
Although he brought good news this time, Sobek is a god after all, and he also has to save his face. How could he easily change his words once he had said them?
Even if he wanted to thank me, he would probably only make up for it in other ways.
Although in this special copy, you can be resurrected even if you lose and die, but 50% of the experience value is not a small number.
Moreover, this is also consuming Sobek's favor, and favor will run out. There is no need to bring those low-level subordinates who are not strong enough to join in the fun.
So apart from Donna, Elegy, Zhou Miyin and other heroic units, he had only planned to bring Cindy and Lisa Dilan.
But the subordinates themselves were very enthusiastic, so after a little consideration, Levi still took Julia, Janet, Luna, Simon, Bayoru, and several elite Avalon together. At worst, he could just see what the situation was and then decide whether to let them participate.
Almost as soon as Levi stepped into the portal, he saw Sobek, a little crocodile over a foot tall, appear directly in front of him, looking at them with a smile, as if he had been looking forward to the upcoming battle for a long time.
Before either party could say anything, Sobek's expression suddenly changed. He stared at the token of the Moon Bow Goddess in Levi's hand: "The aura of so many gods..."
Levi immediately knew that the token in his hand must not only represent the meaning of the Moon Bow Goddess, but more likely represent the meaning of the entire elven pantheon. After all, this was a major matter involving the gods.
He immediately smiled and presented the token with both hands: "Lord Sobek, thank you for your care last time. This time I bring gifts from the elven gods."
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Sobek still took the token immediately.
The place he is in now is extremely special. It is a secret place where the kingdoms of Egyptian gods and Greek gods meet. Except for Pan, no other gods know about it, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, allowing Levi and others to clearly see his loss of composure.
"It turns out that there are... there are so many..."
After swallowing his saliva obviously, Sobek hesitated for a moment and still did not make a decision immediately.
He waved his hand and summoned the large turntable that Levi was very familiar with: "Levi, you guys play here by yourselves. Well, after drawing lots, if you are not satisfied with the result, I allow you to draw again. This is a privilege I give you."
Levi was immediately overjoyed. In some ways, this was much better than the last condition!
But before Levi could respond, Sobek turned and left in a hurry: "You guys play first, I'll come back to watch the fun later."
Although he enjoyed watching this kind of battle, compared to the choice he had to make next, these little farces were insignificant!
He immediately let Zhou Miyin, Xiaotian, Janet, Julia, Avalon and other weaker people make their choices first.
I don't know if they were lucky enough today, or if Sobek did something deliberately to give them some convenience, but in any case, their results were pretty good. They basically got some low- to mid-level skills or blue-green equipment, etc. Levi also told them to stop while they were ahead and not to be too greedy.
Lisadilan was also eager to try, wanting to show his skills and wash away the humiliation of last time, but he got a mid-level elite order, which immediately made his face fall. He knew that it was impossible to wash away the humiliation this time.
Because he was sensible. Even if he really defeated the powerful enemy, he might not be able to obtain trophies of such quality. It was better to stop while he was ahead and wait until next time.
Even if others didn't get anything the first time, they could basically get a decent reward when they drew again the second time.
So after a few minutes, Levi found that apart from himself, the only strongest fighters left were Donna, Elegy and Cindy, and this was also the most critical moment of today's copy.
This made Levi couldn't help but sigh. This was definitely a convenience given by Sobek secretly. He didn't show it too obviously on the surface, but in fact, he was absolutely very excited about the invitation of the elven gods, and he also got an advantage.
But this is what he deserves. If it weren't for my matchmaking, it would have been difficult for Sobek to get this opportunity.
Levi stretched out his hand to signal the girls to play first and he would play last.
Wangge immediately laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll go first!"
There was a flash of light, and the pointer stopped on a large purple bug.
Its tail has claws, and its head is like a hybrid of a piranha plant and a shark, with several layers of sharp fangs, making it look very tough to deal with.
Since there were some things nearby for comparison, Levi and the others quickly and roughly estimated that the diameter of this ferocious big insect should be more than two meters and its length was close to 20 meters. It was an absolute ferocious creature.
Donna was immediately a little worried about her sisters, and Levi also frowned. With such a large body, it looked not only very resistant to attacks, but also had a strong attack power. And looking at its size, its weight was probably more than 10 or 20 tons.
But Elegy smiled even more happily: "So it's a purple worm. I have seen and killed it in the kingdom of Goddess Diana. Although this one looks like an evolved giant species, I am no longer the same person I was before. Don't worry about me."
Since Elegy said so, Donna stopped trying to persuade her, although she was still a little worried.
Levi and Cindy even started to cast magic to enhance her , and soon her whole body was covered with various magical halos, and her strength was greatly improved.
After doing all this, Elegy chose to fight with great satisfaction.
Then she was given a warning by the enemy. Before she could stand firmly, the purple worm, which was originally lying on the ground and looked very clumsy, suddenly stood up like a cobra and then smashed down with a bang.
At least tens of tons of weight fell down, and in an instant the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, with smoke and dust filling the sky, making it difficult for Levi and others to see what was happening inside for a while.
Donna, Cindy and others all clenched their fists at the same time, sweating for Wange. Levi couldn't help but grit his teeth, knowing that Wange might have been a little careless.
Big Crocodile had already said it last time that the monsters here have killed many people and have rich combat experience. Most of them are either advanced or elite units. They are completely different from what Elegy had seen before!
However, after quickly glancing at the status bar, Levi discovered that Elegy had only lost a few points of health and was not actually hit by the attack. He might have just been affected by the rubble.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wange shouldn't be bragging. She really had experience fighting against purple worms.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, when the smoke and dust had not yet completely dissipated, Elegy had already attacked the purple worm from the side, wielding two large swords like a nimble female leopard, leaving two deep wounds on its body.
And before the juice splashed out, she had already left there. The corrosive body fluid of the purple worm did not touch her body at all, but only corroded the flowers and plants on the ground around her.
The purple worm suddenly let out a deafening roar, and then it quickly crawled forward hundreds of meters while roaring. Looking at its appearance, even if the Yuyong troops led by Zhou Miyin held their positions, they would be easily smashed into pieces by it, because it was just like a train carriage!
However, Wange was obviously prepared. She was not affected at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to chase after it, and her two big swords kept slashing at the claws on the back of the purple insect's butt.
Seeing this, although they were still a little worried, Donna and the others were slightly relieved because Elegy obviously understood the enemy's attack methods.
The enemy is obviously thick-skinned and tough, and Elegy's attacks can hardly cause much damage to it. This battle will probably last for a long time, and Elegy needs to concentrate throughout the whole process.
Because she cut the purple worm with a sword, the purple worm didn't feel any pain, but if she was hit, it would probably be seriously injured.
"Haha, Levi, you have a good status among the elves. You can even alarm the gods?"
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Sobek had reappeared beside Levi at some point. When Levi saw him smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, he knew that everything must have been done.
In response to Sobek's question, Levi just smiled and said nothing. Things had come to this point, and there was no need for him to say anything more.
The big crocodile Sobek didn't care. He laughed again and nodded vigorously. "Although there is a condition that I try to become a lawful neutral camp, I still agreed. The two goddesses Lilith and Moonbow, as well as the elven gods, are very sincere."
He certainly had reasons to agree, and there were plenty of them.
As one of the only two evil gods in the pantheon, he was originally ostracized by the gods. Unlike the other evil god Set, who was strong and had strong connections, he was in an extremely embarrassing situation within the pantheon.
In addition, he is known as the Lord of Rivers, but due to a disaster many years ago, most of the Tomb King's territory has turned into a desert, and the few fertile lands have been snatched away by other gods. This has seriously affected his beliefs, and he may even be the one most affected.
There were already few territories suitable for crocodiles and crocodile-men to live on, and they were constantly being snatched away by believers of other gods, which directly affected his divinity and power.
Sobek was originally the lord of rivers and the god of crocodiles, but now he is almost becoming a desert butcher.
His current godhood was stuck at Level 1. If he didn't find a way, he would be reduced to a Level 0 demigod in less than a decade.
She is even worse than Bastet, the slutty cat god who only knows how to dance, enjoy herself, shake her butt, and even hold group sex all day long. How can he be content with this?
Moreover, as his strength continued to decline, the attitudes of other gods within the pantheon towards him became worse and worse.
Even if it weren't for the holy warriors under the God-King Osiris, who had been fighting against the crocodile people who believed in him for many years, he wouldn't have fallen to this point so quickly.
Although that damn God King did not directly order the Holy Knight to do so, he did not stop him either. This acquiescence itself represents an attitude.
There were also many other gods who took advantage of the situation. They were all family and related by blood, but they bullied an outsider like me.
Even the insidious and evil father of jackals, Set, seemed to have some special intentions towards him. Although he was now lonely, he was still a racial god after all, and several of his priesthoods were still very valuable.
It was precisely because of so many reasons combined that he was forced to leave the kingdom of the gods in the pantheon and run to a secret place adjacent to the Greek pantheon.
Otherwise, he was really worried that a large number of enemies would suddenly come to attack him one day.
Now that the reward promised by the Elf Pantheon was so generous, he made up his mind and just changed jobs. Anyway, he was not welcome in the first place.
As for that condition, it’s actually no big deal.
He originally relied on crocodiles and crocodile men to threaten mortals in order to gain the power of faith, but later because of the drastic changes, most of the plains turned into deserts and there were only a few rivers.
Most of the original mortals have turned into skeletons or mummies, and crocodiles have become no threat to them at all. This trick is no longer effective, so he has gradually given up on it.
This time the reward promised by the elven gods was so generous that I could take this opportunity to make changes. Just like what mortals say, a small boat is easier to turn around!
At the same time, Levi also immediately received a system prompt.
"The weak power of the Mulhorandi pantheon - Sobek, the crocodile god - has decided to abandon his own pantheon and join the elven pantheon."
"Due to your efforts in this process and Sobek's great satisfaction with the rewards you received, your reputation in Sobek's sect has been raised to respected. Although you are not his believer, you still have the right to recruit troops from his temple. The troops you can currently recruit are level 0-3 (unlimited), and level 4 (limited to 5 people per week)."
"You have added a new member to the elven pantheon. The elven gods, led by the God King Corellon, have begun to notice your existence. Your legend level is +2."
"Since Sobek's joining makes up for a certain deficiency of the elven pantheon , your reputation in the temples of the elven gods who tend to be good or neutral has been greatly increased to friendly (ranging from 30% to 60%), and your reputation in the sects of the evil gods has been slightly increased (neutral 50% - friendly 0%)."
"Most gods in the Mulhorand pantheon are unaware of your contributions and efforts in this process, but as time goes by, they will eventually learn about it. It is expected that your reputation with them will drop to hostility at best."
This series of system prompts popped up, and Levi felt that he needed to absorb them carefully.
I interfered and got Sobek to change jobs, but the gods didn't hold any hatred towards me. Does this mean that they are open-minded enough to know that it's not their fault, so they didn't take their anger out on me, or does it mean that they don't care about Sobek at all?
If it's the former, then it's fine, but if it's the latter, Sobek is really miserable...
Sobek was not aware for the time being that Levi still had some sympathy for him. He only knew that he had gained a lot of benefits. The token just now was not only a tool for passing messages, but also an advanced space prop, which contained a lot of good things that even gods would be interested in.
Moreover, he knew that he would soon get more benefits, because the elven gods had said that although his strength was relatively weak at the moment, his divine duties and other aspects could make up for the entire elven pantheon, and he would definitely be valued after he went there.
But as for Levi, he didn't know how to treat him for a moment. What kind of reward should he give?
Even though I have done some tricks just now, it is still a bit embarrassing...
After a brief pause and a glance at Elegy who was still fighting, he finally spoke: "As for the reward, this time I can ensure that the remaining few of you will not suffer any loss after you die in battle, and the reward will be increased by 1 level."
As he spoke, Sobek threw over a miniature crocodile head with a horned and feathered headdress, which was his unique emblem.
"Keep it. I will start preparing it immediately. When you need it, use it to open a portal and capture the Pigherd Town . After I capture and occupy the Pigherd Town, I will give you another part of the reward."
Naturally, Levi expressed his gratitude first. Although he did not give them a direct reward, he eliminated their worries, which was also very good.
But he did understand a little bit of the meaning. Sobek wanted to occupy Swineherd Town. Could it be that the elven gods promised it to him?
This is actually a good choice. No matter how good those greenskins are at fighting in the swamp, they are definitely no match for real crocodiles and crocodile men. Even if the greenskins launch a counterattack in the future, they will definitely suffer a bloody nose.
And if Sobek's few followers were to suffer losses in the process, he would probably have to rely even more on the high elves...
Many thoughts were running through his mind. Before he could speak, Sobek continued, "But if this happens, the things in your hands will no longer be usable in a short period of time. I'm moving soon. I'll wait until I find a suitable place to house these little pets."
In Levi's opinion, none of these monsters, which are generally no less than level 5, are easy to deal with, but in Sobek's opinion, they are just some small pets.
No matter how miserable he is, he is still a true god after all.
Li Wei immediately couldn't help but probe: "What do you think of Zhuguan Town, God?"
In fact, he hesitated before saying this.
Will I have exclusive access to this so-called Sobek mini-game and its rewards for a long period of time and at a lower frequency, or will I be able to challenge it every day in the future?
After thinking it over, he decided to make the suggestion, because even though Sobek looked a little silly now, he was not a fool.
By the time he gets to Zhuguan Town, he will probably have figured this out by himself, so it would be better for me to tell him in advance and do him a favor.
Because what really prompted Levi to make the decision was the scene of Elegy fighting hard there.
With her abilities, it is so difficult to complete this challenge. Even if this game is opened to other God-chosen heroes, will there really be anyone who can perform better than her?
Levi has enough confidence that even if this game is opened to all the God-chosen heroes, they will be able to obtain the most and best rewards!
Sobek was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You mean, let me move this game to the Pigherd Town?"
"Okay, this is a good idea. Once we capture that place, I will give you some more benefits!"
The more he thought about it, the better he felt about it. Originally, it took a long time to see the excitement once in a while, but recently with the addition of Levi and the others, it still takes a few days to see it once more.
But if, as Levi said, the game was moved directly to Pigherd Town, he would be able to watch the fun every day in the future.
The more he looked at Levi, the more he liked him. No wonder the elven gods gave him the mission of envoy. He was indeed smart. It was a pity that he had already been blessed by the goddess Lilith, otherwise he would have wanted to turn him into his believer.
In a good mood, he asked casually: "Do you have any other ideas? Tell me boldly, as long as it is feasible, I will definitely not be stingy with the reward."
"Well, there are a few points indeed. First, we charge admission."
Sobek was a little disappointed when he heard this: "What's the use of me having money? Crocodile people don't spend money."
At present, the crocodile people are still gathered in the form of extremely primitive tribes. They basically need nothing. When they are hungry, they go to the river to catch fish. When they are full, they run to the cave or mud pond to sleep.
And because they are born with thick scales, they don't even need clothes or armor. The same goes for weapons. The crocodile man's claws are sharp enough.
Even if weapons are really needed, just get some stone sticks or stone axes. With the powerful strength of the crocodile people, they can exert considerable power.
After listening to Sobek's words, Levi couldn't help but feel the urge to hold his forehead. No wonder you and the crocodile people under your command are doing so badly, it turns out that you are all so unmotivated!
"Before, the crocodile people did not communicate or trade with other races, so they naturally need to make changes now. If we are fighting against the devil, it will be difficult to win with the minions of the crocodile people, right?"
Hearing this, Sobek became a little more serious. Indeed, although the crocodiles had sharp claws and fangs, the demons were more powerful, and most of the middle and high-level demons could cast spells. With just scales and armor, it would be difficult for the crocodiles to resist.
Seeing that the other party finally listened, Levi felt relieved. As long as the other party listened to the advice, there was still hope.
He continued, "Moreover, for ordinary things, things that are too easy to obtain are often not so precious, so we need to set a threshold."
Of course, Levi also has selfish motives here. He intends to open Sobek's game to other God-chosen heroes, but he does not intend to let everyone participate for free. Setting up thresholds is inevitable.
"We can also stipulate that if you choose to believe in the Supreme God, or help you recruit believers, the ticket price can be slightly discounted."
"In addition, the rewards of the game can also be slightly changed. Many God-chosen heroes are also interested in gold coins. The ticket money we collect can be used to reward them. If they get a bargain, they will naturally be more likely to participate in it and promote it to others."
"If we repeat this cycle over and over again, the scale of the game will grow larger and larger. What do you think, God?"
Sobek immediately became interested. He actually knew nothing about these things, and didn't even understand the ways of the world, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. He felt that what Levi said was like opening a door to a new world for him.
It was because Levi saw this that he dared to boldly put forward these suggestions. If it were the two clever goddesses Yue Gong or Lilith, there would be no need for him to talk nonsense here. They would definitely play in more ways than he thought.
Although this big crocodile is a god, it seems that except for strength, he is inferior to ordinary people in many aspects.
But this is normal. God is the end point of racial evolution, but not the pinnacle of wisdom.
The demigod bugbear demigod was a madman, and the demigod worshipped by the troglodytes was an idiot who only knew how to eat. In comparison, Sobek was much better.
After thinking carefully for a while, Sobek became more and more interested. Although he had never thought of this before, when Levi said it, he quickly figured it out. This plan is indeed very feasible.
"Originally, I wanted to take over Zhuguan Town first, but now I'm going to say it in advance. How about you become the mayor of Zhuguan Town?"
Levi's heart suddenly surged. It was impossible for him to not be tempted. A village and a town were completely different. The Red Cloud Tribe and the colony only had three towns each.
Even given the greenskins' personalities, their town is definitely not as good as Ashridge, but it is still a town after all, and there is no doubt that it will bring huge profits.
But while he admired the other party's generosity, he still declined after careful consideration.
Given the Big Crocodile's personality, if he agreed, wouldn't he be tied up in the town and work for him? He still had too many things to do!
Moreover, handing over Swineherd Town to Sobek must have been a decision made by Princess Belinda and even the gods behind her. Who knows, there might be some deeper intentions, such as my slightly dark guess just now...
If I rashly get involved, it would not only be against the rules, but it would also very likely disrupt the other party's plans and offend them, which would not be worth it.
So he finally declined: "I am not good at this, why not leave it to the elves in Black Castle? I believe they will handle everything properly and serve you diligently."
Sobek thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Moreover, he had just joined the elven pantheon. Giving away a part of the Swineherd's Town, which nominally belonged to him, to the elves to manage was also a way of showing goodwill to both sides.
So he nodded heavily: "Okay, then I'll do as you say, but you have to come and help me with this matter. Don't worry, you will definitely get the benefits!"
This time he did not refuse but agreed directly. It was just a matter of making the thresholds and rewards mentioned just now more detailed. He could leave the rest of the matters directly to Michaela. She would surely not refuse the opportunity to show her goodwill to a god.
Sobek nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, a light shout was heard, and after a long battle, Elegy finally succeeded in killing the violent giant insect on the spot.
Almost at the same time, Levi also received a system prompt. He was immediately surprised because this tough guy turned out to be a level 6 monster.
Not only did Elegy level up directly, but she also gained powerful skills. The hidden talent in her professional talent was finally known to him.
"Elegy's combat level is raised to 8th, and she has gained the expertise - Offensive Combat."
You can switch between offensive and defensive stances to temporarily reduce your attack power (up to 25%) in exchange for increasing your physical defense by the same amount. This skill does not require any consumption, but each switch has a 1 second cooldown.
There's not much to say about this skill. It's just for improving survivability in a melee. It's also a prerequisite skill for many mid- and high-level skills. Although it's not a surprise, you will definitely not suffer any loss if you learn it.
"Elegy unlocked the professional talent - Melee Expert."
Melee Expert, you are an expert in close combat, your critical strike rate increases by 10%, and your critical strike damage rate increases by 10%.
And when fighting with an opponent whose level, strength or agility are inferior to yours, you will gain additional advantages. Your attack power, attack speed, critical hit rate, critical hit damage rate, defense, dodge and other aspects will be improved. The greater the gap in strength between the two sides, the greater the improvement.
Levi has always been very curious about why other people unlocked two professional talents at level 1, but when it comes to Donna, there has always been a question mark.
Now he has finally solved the mystery. It should be said that this profession is worthy of being named after the goddess. The talent of this profession is indeed strong enough!
Sobek beside him also laughed out loud: "Haha, what a wonderful battle. Well, little guy, this is your reward. Get ready for the next one!"
