Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 354: Escape Brooch
"No, absolutely not, Levi, I swear to Goddess Waukeen that I know nothing about this matter, let alone participate in it. This must be a conspiracy of the Church of Cyric!"
Della came to her senses with sweat all over her forehead. Although she could hear shouts and cheers from below indicating that her side had gained the upper hand, her heart was cold.
Although she didn't stay in Thorn Town for a long time, she quickly understood his status among the high elves from the attitudes of the elven goddess temples such as Moonbow and Lilith towards Levi.
Add to that the legends circulating in the neighborhood about him, as well as his military position, and so on, and it can be said that if he really died in this assassination, the troubles that would follow would be endless and ruthless.
It is even possible that it will directly affect the Kingdom of Caledo and its consideration of the ownership of Silver Town!
Levi smiled slightly: "The Xirik Church? Not necessarily."
It's not that he looks down on the other party, but given the wisdom and ability shown by the other party's target, it is really unlikely that he could carry out such an assassination while being busy fighting for power.
This method is more like what the Church of Mask, the God of Thieves, can use.
Although he is nominally the god of thieves, his followers also include assassins and the like. If they are discovered by the enemy while breaking into a house, they will kill them all.
Such action is not universal, but it does exist.
When fighting against foreign enemies, they are often like biting dogs. They don't like to bark, but they like to kill people behind their backs.
And after the other party died, among the many items he dropped, he also saw a black silk mask. Although it was not a badge, it was also the most obvious symbol of Mask.
But Della had some misunderstandings. She gritted her teeth and said, "Levi, I know you may not be able to believe me now. After all, that damn assassin was indeed recruited by our Woking Church."
"But please rest assured that our Woking Church will investigate this matter thoroughly and try our best to give you a satisfactory answer!"
Levi immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood, but that was fine.
So he quietly stepped forward and blocked the other person's sight: "Very good, then I will look forward to it wholeheartedly. For now, let's focus on exterminating Xirik's followers."
Although his tone was cold, Della was relieved. She nodded hurriedly and made a series of promises.
This includes the Church of Waukeen will find out the real murderer as soon as possible, severely punish the murderer, give Levi satisfactory compensation, and will definitely not delay the construction of the Mage Tower.
Levi just nodded slightly, then waved his hand to signal his subordinates that they could launch a siege on the Church of Xirik.
But in fact, at this point, there is no suspense in the next battle.
With about 4,000 troops fighting against 2,000 in an ambush, victory was a matter of course.
The only difference is whether the Church of Woking can keep all the opponents alive and kill the most important leader among them.
Then he turned to look at Sylvie, who had stayed out of the matter from beginning to end: "I wonder what Mage Sylvie's next plan is? After building the Mage Tower, can you stay in Thorn Town for a while? I would like to ask you more about the secrets of magic."
From Della's perspective, she couldn't see the mask, but from Sylvie's perspective, she could see it clearly...
Sylvie obviously understood this , not only because he had not yet completely cleared himself of the suspicion of being an accomplice, but also because what he saw would, to a certain extent, determine the amount of compensation that the Church of Woking would pay Levi.
Whether they knew that it was the Mask Church who was behind the attack, and whether they could clear themselves of suspicion first, the amount of compensation would obviously make a huge difference to Della and the Woking Church.
But he knew he had no choice. Even if he told Della that he would potentially gain a considerable fortune, he still had to help Li Wei build a wizard tower in Thorn Town.
If Levi held a grudge against him for this and gave him the finger of death from behind, he would have no confidence that he could withstand it.
So no matter how helpless he felt in his heart, he could only force out a dry smile: "Of course, I also hope to discuss magic with Master Levi!"
Levi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then we will continue to attack the Xirik Church and try to wipe them out here. Cindy, Xiaotian, launch the attack!"
But he really didn't have any big intentions towards Sylvie, because after the assassination incident, even if the other party said he would be loyal to him, he would not dare to use her easily.
He just wanted to copy a few more magic spells from the other party.
That damn bastard Zev claimed that he only knew 5th-level magic, but when he was trying to assassinate me, he used both Disintegration and Finger of Death.
Even if Sylvie is not as secretive as him, she should be able to perform some good low- and mid-level magic, right?
After hearing what he said, Della and Sylvie finally felt relieved temporarily, so they took action immediately and decided to teach the Xirik Church a lesson.
If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened!
Looking at their gnashing teeth, Levi smiled slightly. He had already anticipated Zef's betrayal yesterday.
Now that I think about it, the reason why he was so generous in giving me the Star of Avandor and telling me about his past experiences was because he wanted me to use it to replace other protective magic, right?
But he was not fooled at all. Although he did not use a slap that was too conspicuous, he was still wearing the supreme robe, and even invited the other party to fight together in the end. To some extent, he was fishing because of such suspicion.
It is always better to proactively find the danger and then eliminate the source than to let the other party hide in the dark.
However, they did not expect that the other party was so impatient. They could not wait to take action before they had completely left the main force, allowing their side, which was well prepared, to counterattack and kill them in one fell swoop.
But now it seems that he is confident that he can escape successfully, so he is so bold .
Apart from the magic he possesses, the biggest possibility is naturally the treasure on his body.
Levi's eyes fell on the several items that fell after his death.
Unfortunately, slightly more advanced space rings all use magic to find a very small different dimension and connect in order to achieve the purpose of storing items.
Except for the owner, it is actually very difficult for anyone else to open the ring even if they get it.
Not to mention that this is a great wizard's space ring. Unless a legendary wizard takes action, this thing can only be used for fun.
Levi decided to throw it to Della later to see if their Church of Woking had any solution.
After all, they are businessmen who are accustomed to handling stolen goods and they definitely have more methods than ordinary people.
In addition, Zev also left Levi several trophies.
A green collar of courage, which comes with 5 shots of courage aura and 5 shots of fear removal per day. Although it is of low rank, it is still practical. Levi gave it to Lisadilan.
A blue healing feedback amulet, this one is quite powerful, although it doesn't add any attributes, but the effect is very good. When the holder treats a creature, he himself will receive half the amount of treatment.
If this is equipped collectively to the Paladin or combat priest profession like Cindy, then all of them can heal each other while also restoring their own life, and it will be difficult for them to die when facing ordinary enemies.
After thinking about it for a while, Levi decided to give it to Nar to help her better guard the Underdark.
The last thing was probably what Zev had originally intended to use to escape after successfully assassinating Levi.
Escape Brooch (Blue - Rare - Rare Item):
When your health (magic) drops below 30% (changeable), Teleport (Level 5) is triggered immediately, teleporting you to a location you have been to within 10 miles, or to a random location.
Note 1: Depending on your intelligence and level, there will be a certain transmission error in the teleportation spell;
Note 2: If it is already locked by a dimensional anchor or similar magic when it is triggered, it will not take effect, and it can only take effect once every 24 hours.
Although there are certain errors and it may not work every time, the good thing is that the trigger conditions can be changed.
Not only health points, but also mana points, and it can be used for more than just escaping.
For example, Levi can change it to be triggered immediately when the magic power drops below 80%. Then he can directly teleport behind an enemy and launch a strong attack or chase him. The effect will definitely be very good.
Things are dead, but human tactics are alive.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t get the dissociation technique used by the other party.
As a 6th-level magic, this thing can destroy parts of the target's limbs. If the opponent is killed by this trick, the corpse will turn into ashes directly. It can be said to be a unique trick to destroy the corpse and cover up all traces. It is somewhat similar to the Finger of Death.
But its actual effect is not just that. It also has a great chance of destroying the opponent's equipment. It can be said that once successful, no matter whether the opponent wins or loses the battle in the end, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
It is also particularly good at countering position-based magic like the Big Slap. Once successful, the entire Big Slap may be directly destroyed. This is also one of the few weaknesses of the Big Slap.
After sighing a few times, Levi suddenly laughed again because he found a way to get it.
The foolish assassin Zef didn't give it to him, but the wealthy and powerful Waukeen Church, which was eager to clear its suspicion and improve the relationship between them, might give it to him...
There is nothing much to say about the following battle. In fact, the outcome was already determined when the ambush occurred.
In addition, at the critical moment, many members of the Church of Xirik began to flee, so after only a quarter of an hour, their side had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
More than two thousand people may seem like a lot, but in fact they can be killed very quickly.
As soon as the battle was over, Della didn't have time to count the losses, but she and Sylvie came to Levi to report the good news.
"Levi, thanks to you, we have won this battle. Next, we plan to take over Baiyin Town in one fell swoop. What do you think?"
Levi calculated the time. There were still a few hours before the opening of the Hell Gate Castle dungeon. He didn't know if it would be enough for them to capture Silver Town.
But no matter what, he would turn back as soon as possible, and it would be best if he had already taken the treasure in Hellgate Castle when other people just learned of the information.
As his mind raced, he nodded readily: "Okay, it's a good opportunity to return the property of Silver Town to its original owner. In this way, our Kingdom of Caledo may also have an ally who can help and support us."
Della was relieved to hear Levi reiterate that the high elves had no interest in Silver Town, but at the same time she felt a chill in her heart, knowing that the other party was also reminding her.
He not only represents himself, but also the Kingdom of Caledor and even the high elves!
So she once again promised very seriously: "Levi, don't worry, my Waukeen Church will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Levi nodded slightly and took out Zev's space ring with his backhand: "I am very interested in the dissociation technique he mastered, but unfortunately I can't open it for the time being and can't see the secrets inside. I wonder if Della can help me?"
Della suddenly perked up: "Okay, no problem, I will do my best to solve it!"
Of course, it’s not about dealing with his space ring. It’s not so easy to crack the things of a great wizard.
But with the wealth of their Waukeen Church, they could easily take out a space ring containing disintegration magic, as well as a large number of gems, elemental crystals, magic materials and gold coins, and then give it to Levi.
They say it's Zev's, so it is!
