Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 82: Surprises
Seeing that the battle was over, the natives were very happy and encouraged. Levi could not care about Donna for the time being. He just looked at the pastors and asked, "Is the hidden danger here completely over now?"
The priest from the goddess of justice nodded happily: "Yes, thanks to the help of you gentlemen, we finally succeeded in defeating the evil Chaos Dwarves. This swamp will surely recover slowly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Levi received another system prompt saying that he had successfully opened the reputation of the Sect of the Goddess of Justice. All he had to do next was to escort them back to the nearest village or town, and the mission would be truly over.
Levi nodded, then motioned for Sam to go to the furnace ruins to see if the Chaos Dwarf hero had dropped any equipment, and also to see if there were any remaining goose eggs.
Qian Thief stroked his chin while looking at the scattered stone statues. Then he suddenly asked, "Master Priest, do you know why he became like this? It seems that he is also a Chaos Dwarf?"
The priest nodded. "Yes, and they are the most evil demon warlocks among them. When they try to forcibly control the evil demon power, their fate is doomed."
"Every time the Chaos Dwarves cast a spell, they will be harmed. After a Chaos Dwarf Demon Warlock casts a large number of spells, some of their limbs will gradually turn into stone. They will even become unable to move and can only be propped up by their servants. But no matter what, turning into an immovable stone statue is their ultimate fate."
"It now seems that this evil enemy wanted to use the Fiery Furnace to do something in an attempt to delay the process, just like many of his fellow tribesmen who fear death. However, he ultimately failed, and the price of failure is death."
Only then did Levi fully understand the price the Chaos Dwarves had to pay when using magic, but they still kept pursuing more powerful magic. It can only be said that the whole clan are ruthless people.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Levi and his companions began to escort the priests and believers from the goddess of justice, Valenca, back home. At the same time, he had a few more things in his hands. Two were skill books, another was two goose eggs that Qian Thief found somewhere in the camp, and the last was some broken fire element crystals.
Levi's previous generosity and magnanimity have been recognized by Qian Ce and others. So even though the two goose eggs can immediately become qualified Tier 1 soldiers - Halfling War Geese once hatched, and the upgraded Royal War Geese can also be used as mounts for small creatures, Qian Ce and the Greek Bear and others are all trying their best to give them to Levi, which can be regarded as a small return for the favor they owe.
And to be honest, they themselves couldn't stand the low contribution of their team, and it was really difficult for them to get anything.
Levi did not refuse. After all, the reason they came to this swamp in the first place was to help Sam find the goose eggs. Although there were only two eggs now, which was a little less, it was still an explanation.
After taking the goose egg, Sam looked at it for a few seconds and his eyes immediately became red, because he recognized at a glance that it belonged to him and his former companions, but unfortunately he was the only one left now.
But then he pushed the goose egg back and said, "Sir, from now on, I want to officially serve you. I hope you can agree!"
Faced with such a request, Levi certainly had no reason to refuse. The original level 1 halfling thief was usable, but now that he has been advanced to level 2, Sam, who is proficient in many skills such as trap dismantling, lock picking and reconnaissance, has gradually become an indispensable part of the team.
What's more, they are partners fighting side by side after all. Although the time has not been long, they have already developed feelings after dozens of battles, big and small.
Next came the two skill books, one of which was a Level 1 magic, the Secondary Flame Pearl, which he learned on the spot, and the other was a magic specialty.
Lesser Flame Orb, Tier 1, active skill, consumes 10 mana points, causes damage to the target based on your intelligence and mage level (currently 8-17 points), but no more than 30 points.
Learning requirements: Intelligence 6, Mage.
Now Levi already knows that most low-level offensive magic has a certain upper limit on its power, and will definitely be very weak in the later stages. For example, he now feels that the Burning Hand attached to the Rusty Flame Iron Badge is gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm of the battle. After all, its attack limit is only 20 points.
But if you master one more magic, it might come in handy at a critical moment.
Hasut's Killing Fire, a specialty. Hasut's flames are always eager for destruction and are best suited for burning life to ashes. When using fire magic, it will cause additional damage to enemies in a burning state, and the effect is based on the user's intelligence.
Learning requirements: Intelligence 9, Elemental Specialization - Fire, Mage.
Hasut is said to be the god believed in by the Chaos Dwarves and their only god. His specific camp is not clear at the moment, but he is undoubtedly evil. As for his strength, it is also an unknown, because there are basically no priests among the Chaos Dwarves. Anyway, the whole god is quite mysterious.
Because it did not quite meet the usage requirements, Levi put this expertise book away for the time being.
As for those broken fire element crystals, he had no intention of selling them and would keep them all as supplies and rewards for the Flame War Goose.
Next, it’s time to have a good chat with Donna. Now that I have completed her mission, her campaign attributes should come into play.
After listening to Levi's proposal, Donna did not refuse, but at the same time she also made a request: "Levi, I don't want my troops to have too many racial mixes, so as not to affect morale."
"So if you let me take charge, it would be best if they were all half-elves or high elves. Or if you can recruit some of my kind, I can accept that. What do you think?"
"Of course there is no problem. In fact, I think so too. Unless there is something particularly outstanding, I also hope to specialize in it."
"Okay, that's decided then."
Donna was so straightforward that Levi didn't bother to argue. He directly transferred all the half-elves in the team to Donna's command and told the other party that Donna would be in command in the battle.
The half-elves would certainly have no objections. In fact, after a few days of fighting, they had already been full of admiration for Donna.
Next is Donna’s personal skill selection.
After reaching level 5, Donna can choose a new favored terrain and a new favored enemy.
The terrain includes plains, mountains, swamps, waters, forests, cities, underground, cold lands and deserts, etc., and the types of enemies are even more.
After a brief communication, both agreed to choose werewolves as her new nemesis, and chose the desert (desert and Gobi) as her preferred terrain.
Although the name of the Rocky Highlands contains the word "stone", in fact it is not a steep mountain range, but a large desert with sparse vegetation and full of gravel, which can be classified as a desert terrain. Now with the blessing of these two skills, Levi is really looking forward to Donna's next performance.
As for werewolves, they are also a fairly large category. No matter they are jackals, werewolves with lycanthropy, or werewolves among the undead, they are all collectively classified as werewolves. Even if the mission in the Stoney Highlands is completed, they may still be put to use in the future.
Soon Levi and his companions arrived at a nearby human village. The flaming war goose beside Levi attracted many onlookers from the indigenous people, but there was no god-chosen hero.
After a little inquiry, Levi and his friends found out the reason. The beastmen nearby began to wreak havoc , so the Sigmar Cult called on the chosen heroes to clear them out. This was also their regional mission, and now they all ran out to fight monsters.
As soon as he heard the name of the Sigma Sect, Levi immediately became interested because he had saved their people before and even got the authority to recruit!
At this time, priests and believers from the Goddess of Justice also entered the village one after another. The leading priest finally breathed a sigh of relief. He first bowed slightly to Levi and others, and then the system prompts sounded. In addition to some basic experience points and monetary rewards, as well as a large amount of sect reputation, they also obtained the right to recruit 0 to 1 level troops of the Goddess of Justice sect.
At the same time, they can also go to any Temple of Justice, or learn the two divine arts for free while the priest is resting in the village.
Of course, you must be a priest unit to learn it.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This priest was a bit too stingy. This mission was obviously much more difficult than the previous one of rescuing Priest Sigma, but they were so stingy with the reward.
Although he had gained a lot in this battle, it was obtained through his own strength and had nothing to do with the Sect of the Goddess of Justice.
Or are these rewards also related to the strength of the sect? After all, the Sigma Sect is the state religion of a top human country.
In comparison, not only is the Goddess of Justice weak herself, but her sect is also much weaker.
In this world full of powerful evils such as demons and devils, justice is not so easy to implement, even if she is a goddess.
Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that he joined the mission later? At least Qian Ce and the others did not show any dissatisfaction because of this.
But before he could ask, the leading priest quickly bowed again and apologized to them: "I'm sorry, your kindness cannot be repaid with a little money, but the current situation of our sect is indeed not very good. In addition to our faith in the goddess and justice, we only have some devout and loyal believers. I hope you will not despise us."
As she spoke, a dozen of the rescued believers took the initiative to stand up and looked at Levi and others with slightly reverent eyes. In their opinion, they must be very powerful warriors who were able to kill so many hobgoblins and chaos dwarves and rescue them. Choosing to follow them would definitely mean a bright future.
The Greek Bear, whose troops suffered the heaviest losses , smiled so hard that his back teeth were showing, because he knew that three of them would become his subordinates. According to the original mission description, they were three level 2 soldiers!
Levi couldn't help but laugh. After giving all the half-elves to Donna, the only ones he had available now were Zhou Miyin, Sam and the volunteers. It was indeed time to replenish the troops.
There are three types of soldiers among the believers: spearmen, swordsmen and archers. After a little consideration, Levi picked three spearmen.
On the one hand, he planned to keep Zhou Miyin company. On the other hand, the jackals in the Rocky Highlands had many coyotes and hyenas under their command. Their first attack was basically a charge attack, and the spearmen's common skill of resisting charges could just counter this kind of charge, which was quite good.
After looking at the attributes, Levi found that not only were their attributes lower than Zhou Miyin's, but they also had no talent to speak of. In short, they were just a few ordinary spearmen.
But despite this, the reward for this mission is still pretty good.
After Levi and the others had finished choosing, the priest took the remaining believers and said goodbye to them. Qian Ce and the others also wanted to rest. Today's series of battles really made them tired.
After adding each other as friends and agreeing to carry out missions together again in the future, Levi did not rest immediately. Instead, he found the temporary base of the Sigma Sect in the village while asking questions.
