Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 73: Riding and Mounts
At this time, the spoils on the battlefield had been almost cleaned up. After seeing their properties clearly, Levi suddenly became interested, because this time the earth elves gave some good things, two skill books.
The first book is about elementary riding skills, and the second book is about elementary weapon proficiency - scimitar.
By now, Levi has roughly figured out that, generally speaking, green-quality weapons and equipment have already begun to have restrictions on attributes, skills, etc., so the skill books for proficiency in such weapons will never lack sales.
As for riding, the value of this thing is definitely higher. Not to mention professions like warriors, even as a mage, he wants to get a mount.
He was obviously a high elf wizard with a high status in the eyes of the natives, but now no matter where he went to participate in the battle, he had to rely on his legs to walk several miles or even dozens of miles, which was really inefficient and too uncool.
And now Donna has just tamed a mount wolf, which is just the right time to put it to use.
"Excuse me, I want this riding skill book."
"Of course, it should have belonged to you."
Without any hesitation, Qian Ce handed the book over directly, and Greek Bear and Zhou Jie Gun did not show any dissatisfaction.
Not to mention that their professions do not particularly require riding skills. Boss Levi has already allowed them to get a lot of advantages before. Boss Levi finally opened his mouth once. If they dare to object, they would be real losers.
Primary riding, a passive skill, allows you to ride primary mounts no higher than level 2, such as cows, horses, and sheep. At that time, the movement speed will depend on the mount, not the knight himself.
Levi nodded with satisfaction. This skill was perfect for the mount they had just obtained.
However, he did not choose to learn on the spot, but turned to look at Donna: "Donna, this is a skill book for riding, are you interested?"
If Donna rides on the wolf mount, she may become an excellent mounted archer. With her fighting ability, future battles will become more and more exciting.
But Donna waved her hand and rejected him: "Sorry, Levi, I don't think I need it for the time being. Not only is it too ugly, but I haven't fully mastered the skills of mobile shooting and mounted shooting. You should use it first."
As if sensing Donna's disgust, the mount wolf whimpered and covered its eyes with its front paws.
Although it couldn't speak, Levi seemed to be able to guess its thoughts: I abandoned my previous master and chose to follow you despite the previous hatred, but you despise me?
However, what gave him a headache was that if even simple archery required other skills, then if he wanted to cast spells while riding on the back of a wolf mount, would he also need similar skills such as moving casting and riding casting?
Then he shook his head, dispelling his scattered thoughts. Sometimes thinking too much would only bring trouble to oneself. In any case, from now on, he would no longer have to rely on his own legs to go to the battlefield.
Qian Thief took away another skill book. He felt that the small daggers used by thieves had too low attack power, and it might be better to replace them with scimitars.
According to him, he likes the old profession of a thief, which is stealth, theft and assassination.
But if possible, he would rather have a perfect infiltration in his mind: for example, kill all the enemies first, and then proceed to other work!
"Okay, Levi, now comes the real highlight. The success or failure of our mission depends on this!"
"I understand, Qian Qian, let everyone recover, and then face the enemy in the best possible posture."
Levi's sight gradually passed over the low hills and fell on the vague camp in the distance. He wondered how many powerful enemies were waiting for him there?
Qian Thief nodded vigorously: "I understand, Levi, thank you very much this time."
Levi waved his hand, indicating to the other party that there was no need to be polite anymore. He felt a little embarrassed to continue being polite like this. After all, he had deceived the other party with his words in the beginning and had forced himself into this task.
Qian Ce didn't know what he was thinking, she just smiled and decided that she would help him out again when she had the chance in the future, after all, there was still a long time to live.
After a brief rest, they set out again, this time their target was the Chaos Dwarf camp.
Levi also mounted the wolf mount. He felt very novel at first, but soon he felt very uncomfortable.
Because the wolf mount was always bouncing around when it walked, and its back was narrow and thin, which hurt his buttocks, and there was no saddle, so if he walked a little faster, his balls would hurt too.
And because there was no reins, in order to avoid being thrown off, he could only grab the opponent's long hair tightly. After walking only a few hundred meters, he almost pulled out a certain area of the opponent's back bald.
No wonder Donna refused to take it. This thing is really not suitable as a mount, at least not for me.
Not to mention that he doesn't have the skill to cast spells while riding, even if he did, he probably wouldn't have any energy to do anything else. It's a good thing that those earth elves can still ride on them to fight.
So in the end, he simply jumped down and avoided suffering this pain.
And he seemed to be able to see that his mount, the wolf, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his appearance, Donna beside him couldn't help but chuckle, and even asked him in a very malicious way about his riding experience.
Levi couldn't help but grin. "In short, it's just two words - 'suffering'. There's a reason why most humans only ride horses."
While saying this, he had actually already made up his mind that after this battle was over, he would at least get a real mount.
Apart from anything else, Green Blade Village and Maple Leaf Village both have cows and horses for rent and sale. There are also many kinds of mounts in the list that can be exchanged for military merit points, including many rare species, so there is no need to suffer this.
Although it was quite uncomfortable to ride it at first, it should be acceptable if it was equipped with a saddle and reins. If it could be replaced with a mount that moves more steadily, such as a giant turtle, casting spells should not be a particularly difficult problem.
Even when they were still some distance away, they could feel the heat in the air. The temperature around them was constantly rising, and the cracks in the ground beneath their feet were becoming bigger and . They could even sprain their ankle if they were not careful.
At the same time, they also saw a huge fiery red forging furnace at least ten meters high in the distance. The blazing flames shot out several meters, and the surrounding air was distorted due to the high temperature.
A dozen short and fat figures were busy around the forge, and it seemed that the entire camp was built around that huge forge.
However, this camp looked extremely simple, even inferior to the Gnoll Camp. It only had some simple chevaux de frise and two tents, and there were no guards to be seen.
There was a wooden fence with dozens of figures locked up in it. They were probably the priests from the goddess of justice, Valencia, whom they were going to rescue this time.
Qian Thief was immediately delighted when he saw this: "Could it be that the difficulty of this mission lies in the patrol team, while the defense of the camp is very lax?"
The Greek bear couldn't help but say, "Yeah, Boss Qianthief, they only have two small broken tents. Even if they are full of people, there are only about 10 to 20 people at most. If they are still those big goblins, they can't be our opponents at all."
"That's right, this is all thanks to Boss Levi, we..."
Before Zhou Jiegun could finish his words, there was a loud "bang" and the gray wolf walking in front was blown into the sky on the spot. It didn't even make a "whimper" and turned into a corpse.
At the same time, flashes of fire appeared, and at least three or four hounds and wild cats in the surrounding area were affected. Their hair was all ignited, and all kinds of cries were heard for a while. At the same time, out of their instincts, they began to try to distance themselves from the flames in the trap, and the scene seemed a little chaotic.
Levi immediately cried out to himself: "Greek Bear, quickly give orders to your animals and don't let them run around everywhere!"
Even the Kobolds know that big traps are used to trap smaller ones, so how could these Chaos Dwarves only set one trap?
But it was too late. Because of this delay, another wild cat stepped into the trap, and with a loud bang, it followed in the footsteps of its companions.
Now the other animals became even more panicked, and then as if a chain reaction was triggered, they began to run around like headless flies, followed by continuous explosions.
Suddenly, the blazing flames almost merged into one, and at least twenty or thirty traps were triggered within a few seconds. The Greek Bear could only watch as the troops he had painstakingly accumulated over the past few days turned into charred corpses.
When there were no more new explosions, he finally couldn't help but roar loudly: "Fuck! Fuck, these bastards are too damn insidious. My troops, my cats and dogs!"
Zhou Jiegun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but curse: "This place is still hundreds of meters away from the camp. Are they setting traps so far away? How cowardly are these guys?"
More importantly, if there is a trap here, how much will it cost them to cross this distance of 100 meters?
But Levi and others had no intention of comforting the Greek Bear, not only because it was meaningless, but more importantly, because of this series of explosions, the camp had already responded!
