Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 382 New Residents, New Angels
After making the decision, Levi took another look at the imprisoned dwarves.
Overall, their condition was okay. Although they looked a little haggard, they were still a long way from starving to death.
It seems that Gost still has some concerns about their life and death.
After learning that Levi was their savior and that the dwarf Stump was the deputy mayor, almost all of them joined.
Although they were the original owners of this place, they were defeated in the war, lost their land, and were rescued, so they didn't have much choice.
Even the heroic units and soldiers have all died, what else can these civilians say?
Levi also happily accepted them and provided them with food, treatment, etc. immediately.
There are almost no fighters among these dwarves, but the proportion of carpenters, blacksmiths, miners and the like is still very high.
Therefore, almost immediately after joining, they were able to create value for him and the Black Iron Mine.
Soon under Levi's order, the entire castle began to be built, and various defense facilities were improved as soon as possible, while priests and others began purification operations.
Although Gost did not intentionally cause any large-scale destruction to the castle, he still left holes of all sizes all over the castle, and the ground was almost entirely covered with ruins.
Various residual filth and evil forces can be seen everywhere.
They also need to spend a certain amount of time and energy to clean and renovate the castle.
Levi used the stone shaping technique in his space ring and magic scrolls such as turning mud into stone to help. He didn't try to set up all the defenses at once. It would be best to leave only a few so that Luna could lead people to take turns on guard.
They are the night elves, and they are more energetic at night than during the day. No enemy can easily escape their eyes.
Then he summoned some water elements to explore the nearby lake to see if there were any alien races.
Luna, Virginia, Sonia, Sefa and others took part of their troops to the surrounding villages to check if there were any survivors and try to lure them over.
Even a purely military fortress would need a large number of ordinary indigenous people as logistical personnel. Ordinary villages and towns cannot do without them if they want to develop in the long term.
Dwarves are a warlike race, and even without divine buildings, the chance of professional warriors appearing among them is still high.
If there is a larger population, it can also be a source of recruits, but the number may not be particularly stable.
As for the bottom level, due to limited energy, Levi ordered the gate to be sealed directly, and the guards and people kept a close eye on it. After the ground part was completed, they would go down to take a look.
Anyway, there is plenty of black iron ore below, so he really doesn't have to worry about it being stolen by the enemy.
So after one night, part of the castle was repaired and there were a lot more residents. Even without Levi's order, they spontaneously began to clean up the ruins.
While Levi asked them to continue their efforts, he sent people to inquire about the surrounding news.
It was so lively in Malad yesterday, it must have attracted many forces to go and investigate. If some greenskins could go and join in the fun, it might be their chance.
The subordinates naturally obeyed the order, and Virginia took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Now the people here are either Levi's subordinates, or people like Sefa who are becoming increasingly close to him.
As an outsider who had messed up several things in a row, her continued stay here would only cause more embarrassment.
After Levi was slightly polite, he did not force the other party to stay.
Apart from her good looks and ability to do things, this girl's fighting ability is a bit weak compared to Sonia, Sefa and others.
And although she always looked confident, in fact, none of the plans she made could be implemented smoothly.
If I hadn't happened to arrive, their temple and the wood elves would have been destroyed. Their luck was really bad.
More importantly, as a core member of the church and a devout follower of Su Lun, there was almost no possibility for her to be recruited by him, so naturally he would not cherish her much.
But as soon as she left, the supervisor came running to tell him the good news. In addition to the reinforcements from the celestial creatures arriving as promised, the tiger people and bear people also moved here collectively.
Levi naturally rushed to greet them first, and summoned out the bear-headed messenger, Bill, thinking that they should be able to communicate easier.
It's worth mentioning that, even though the tigresses had told them before, these bearmen were different from most beastmen.
Especially in non-combat state, he seemed particularly unusual, but when he actually saw the other party, Levi was still a little surprised.
Because apart from the fact that they all look like tall bear men several meters tall, almost all of them are dressed like farmers or fishermen, and the guy in the lead is holding a scroll and wearing a pair of glasses.
From their appearance, it can be seen that they are obviously fundamentally different from those ordinary beastmen who eat fur and blood.
However, compared with Bill and other celestial creatures, they still have a big gap. Their appearance is rougher and their hair is not as smooth.
After a few polite words, the bear village chief said that they, like the tiger people, were willing to settle here in the black iron mine.
The fact that there is a lake here for them to fish is one thing, but another important reason is that they are really fed up with the recent endless harassment.
Whether it's beastmen, greenskins, or other evil races, basically we have to cause trouble for them when we pass by.
There was no way, because their village was not only small in size, but also had no other defensive facilities except a fence. It looked like they were easy to bully.
Although those invaders often pay the price of their lives for their actions in the end, the originally peaceful lives of the bear people have also been completely disrupted.
There is a small lake next to their bear village, and when they have nothing to do, they like to fish or catch fish there. This is a hobby and habit derived from the bear god they believe in.
But once they encounter foreign invasion, no matter whether the enemy is a few goblins or a small group of beastmen, they have to run over to fight, which seriously disrupts their rhythm of life.
So when the tiger people went to invite them, they agreed very readily.
At the same time, they also made a request to Levi. After coming here, they did not want to participate in battles frequently unless it was a particularly urgent situation.
Because among the less than 100 bear people, more than 70% of them are fishermen and cooks, followed by herbalists and doctors.
The reason why I became a warrior was because I had no choice.
But when it comes to things like cooking or seeing a doctor, they will do their best.
Levi immediately exclaimed, "Wow, he is a bear man with outstanding talents, but he doesn't like to participate in battles?
But to be honest, he still welcomed the other party.
Ordinary troops can gain something by visiting the military camps and taverns in any town.
However, it is often not easy to recruit people for these special professions, especially when there are so many of them.
To express their sincerity, the bear village chief even gave Levi two drawings.
One is a salmon spawning ground. Once used, the production of salmon near the lake will increase significantly.
In addition to meeting the bear people's daily life and entertainment needs, the remaining can be used as food for the army or sold.
The other one is the herb garden, which is something similar, except the fish are replaced with herbs.
Faced with the bear people who were so well prepared, how could Levi refuse?
Naturally, he agreed to all the other party's requests, and immediately asked Tree Stump to arrange special accommodation for them, and if necessary, to expand it.
Due to their height, ordinary dwarf houses are not suitable for them to live in.
In contrast, the tiger people's purpose was clearer. They planned to leave some women, children, the elderly and the weak here, and the rest would join Levi's army.
Whether it was to serve as the garrison here or to go out on adventures with him, they were willing to accept it.
It's just that the tigers are adventurous by nature, and many of them have already gone out, so there are not many left in the village.
In addition, they had encountered several battles before and suffered some losses, so there were more than 200 people in their village, but only 70 or 80 were able to fight.
Fortunately, most of them are quite strong, basically around level 3.
Among them, male tiger people mainly use their natural tiger claws as weapons, while female tiger people almost all use bows and arrows. The distinction is very obvious.
But for Levi, their existence has no special meaning, and he already has better substitutes in his team.
Let Bill chat with the bears first. After thinking about it for a while, Levi called the supervisor and Xiaotian.
Although this place will be managed by Tree Stump in the future, he cannot completely ignore it. If he really goes north to Silver Peak to cause trouble for the Vampire Queen, this place will be a very good relay point.
Therefore, it is reasonable for him to leave some of his subordinates behind.
Now, the performance of the tiger people prompted him to choose these two heroes who were born from celestial beings.
For a long time, the Legion's Yakongs led by Xiaotian have had a somewhat awkward position in his team, because their strength is really not that good, and in most battles, they can only serve as cannon fodder.
Although the Wolf Patrolmen, Tiger Patrolmen, etc. led by the Supervisors are much stronger in combat power on average, they do not have the support of battle skills and their overall numbers are relatively small, so their performance in most battles is not satisfactory.
They can basically only harass the enemy by flank and rear attacks, or chase and kill them after the enemy has been completely defeated.
But now, with the increasing number of giant eagles, griffins, and winged cats, the performance of the Legion's archons was completely crushed.
The strength of the druids is also constantly increasing, and there are even some at level 5 who can transform into lightning rocs.
After the transformation, not only do they have great magical power, but their close combat is also far superior to the Legion's Yakon.
Coupled with the appearance of numerous angels as summoned creatures and the Aesir tribe, the role of Xiaotian and the Legion Yakongs has been greatly reduced.
The same is true for the monitors. Luna has so many huntresses and dryads under her command, and they are not just scouts.
Basically, they can do everything that the guards can do, and they can do it better.
The only advantage is probably that if a few griffins were killed or injured, Levi would feel a little sad, but if all the Legion's Archons died, he would not even blink an eye.
But this advantage is really not worth mentioning.
In fact, after being specially called over, they both had basically guessed what was going on, so their moods and expressions were a little bit bad.
Regardless of their original wisdom, if they have not learned anything after following Levi for so long, then they are very stupid.
Of course, Levi paid attention to his speaking skills. Keeping them here did not mean he looked down on them at all.
It’s just that their brilliance has usually been overshadowed by Luna and the others, so now is a good opportunity for them to stand out on their own.
In fact, he did have this idea.
In their own team, their performance is admittedly not that outstanding, but when following the dwarves who all have short legs, they will definitely win in terms of speed and mobility!
So their expressions immediately became much better and they agreed happily.
It's just that the guard feels a little bit awkward.
Because those tigresses have always coveted his body. If he lives with them day and night in the future, he is not sure if he can always resist...
As soon as he saw his expression, Levi laughed immediately, because that was exactly what he expected.
Every ten or dozens of years, the tiger goddess would come down to earth and disguise herself as an ordinary tigress, trying to find a mighty and handsome tiger man to have some fun.
This is a secret for ordinary mortals, but it is not the case for Levi, who has received a considerable amount of knowledge from Lilith.
The number of tiger people is not large to begin with, and a considerable number of them are located in Zhendan, while the rest are scattered throughout the main world.
Now that there are about two hundred believers gathered here, they can no longer be ignored by the Tiger Goddess. After all, she is a weak god and does not have many believers.
If the supervisor could really perform better, and the tiger goddess happened to come to earth, wouldn't he have a chance to get into good things?
As he was speaking, Shudun, who had gone to explore the lake, came back happily, and found no alien species in the lake.
It's just because Gost had been active here before, so the lake is a little dirty, and many fish in it died due to the influence of the death energy, but I believe that with a little purification, there will be no problem soon.
It makes sense. The dwarves have occupied this place for hundreds of years. It is impossible for them to allow a strong enemy to appear under their noses. If there was any, they would have been killed long ago.
When the bear village chief heard this, he couldn't sit still.
Even though he was very interested in the bear-headed messenger who was covered in white hair and looked and behaved very similar to him, he still expressed his desire to go and see for himself whether he could help.
Levi expressed his understanding. After all, they came here for the lake in the first place, so of course they were most concerned about this issue.
So he briefly introduced each other and let Stump take the bear people and tiger people to handle the rest of the matters.
Since he is now the deputy mayor, he must assume the corresponding responsibilities and obligations. We can't rely on him for everything, right?
Since the castle had not yet been repaired, many of his subordinates had gone to investigate the situation nearby, so Levi could not leave at this time.
When he had nothing to do, he and Cindy would perform skills such as the Alien Alliance and the Summoning of Loyal Servants.
In fact, he does this every day in order to summon new celestial beings and sign permanent contracts with them.
There is never too much cannon fodder, even if it is Legion Yakong, he has never said no.
Unfortunately, Cindy summoned out more powerful Holy Helmet Angel, Shield Crown Angel, etc., which gave her own equipment a small upgrade, but Levi himself did not gain much for the time being.
This is not because of his bad luck, but this kind of skills, although summoned randomly, still follow certain rules.
From his current point of view, it would depend on the contract he has signed with the celestial creatures. Usually, he would give priority to summoning the species of the other party.
If there is really no suitable one, he will summon new creatures that he has never come into contact with.
However, he has already made contracts with more than 20 celestial creatures so far. It would be extremely difficult to summon new ones...
I can only say that some things really have both advantages and disadvantages.
So Levi could only watch as Cindy summoned two more angels, while he was still surrounded by a few ordinary Yakong and Gedin celestials.
Cindy couldn't help but chuckle, and ran over happily, patted his arm and cheered him up.
"It's okay, Brother Levi, you just had bad luck today. Maybe next time you will be able to summon the strongest 7th level angel in one go~"
Levi chuckled. Although he knew that the other party was just trying to comfort him and that what she said was impossible to happen, his mood still improved a lot when he saw her little look.
"Okay, Cindy, let's see what my last chance of the day will be like!"
As the light flickered, two figures responded to his call.
As soon as he saw the other person, Levi was delighted.
Although there is a big gap between them and the 7th level angels that Cindy mentioned, he is almost certain that the appearance of these two will definitely bring significant effects to his own troops.
Both of them are female angels with wings on their backs, and one of them has a rapier, a dagger and a flute.
Yes, all three at once, because she also has a pair of translucent phantom arms under her armpits to help her accomplish this task.
If you only look at this part, she might be a bit similar to Winged Serpent Ai Ci, a bard.
Because apart from bards, there are very few other professions that use musical instruments to fight.
But the clothes she wore were quite Chinese, with flowing hems and flying ribbons, making her look like a flying fairy.
The other carried a longbow and a scimitar, and both weapons, along with the quiver on her back, glowed with a faint light, clearly possessed by magic.
So Levi and Cindy both knew that his luck was very good this time. Arrows were consumables, and those who could enchant them were basically mid- to high-level beings who were not short of money.
After they appeared, they all saluted to Levi immediately, and then they covered their mouths and shouted at the same time: "You are actually the Celestial Mystic Master?"
Levi raised his eyebrows. He had summoned many celestial creatures, but there were really few who recognized him the first time they met.
Could it be that these two girls came from the Seventh Heaven Mountain? In that case...
He immediately admitted it very readily: "Yes, I am."
The two angels hurriedly saluted again, and without discussing any conditions, they couldn't wait to sign .
The first girl is called Flying Angel, a third-level auxiliary angel. In addition to the ability to fly, invisibility and remove fear, she also has skills commonly possessed by low-level bards such as boosting combat power, temporary motivation and boosting morale.
She has two special skills, one is to transform her arms, which can be used to assist her in attacking or playing, just as Levi saw.
If she has to, she can use them to attack, and they can penetrate regular physical defenses, but based on their relative attributes and class, don't expect them to kill enemies with this.
Next is the secondary confusion spell (level 3). The enemy who is hit has a chance to fall into a special state of confusion, and temporarily can't figure out what to do. The flying angels can often take this opportunity to escape.
Overall, her skill panel is excellent, even for a Tier 3 soldier, it is completely over the top.
But she also has a very fatal weakness, that is, her defense is almost zero, and her health is not as good as most of the second-level soldiers.
It would be fine if the enemy didn't see her, but if they targeted her, almost any area magic, such as the very common fireball, could take her life.
So usually when encountering a battle, the Flying Angel will first sing a song for his teammates, add some buffs, and then use invisibility to stay away.
The second girl is relatively stronger. She is a level 4 Brani angel. You can tell from her equipment that she is good at using arrows with light attributes to attack, and can also do a little close combat.
In addition, she also has two special skills.
One is the whirlwind form, which is used for escaping, and the other is the blur, which is used to protect against enemy ranged attacks.
According to Levi, her abilities are quite similar to those of the Barani angel from the Aires tribe, except that hers is a little stronger.
A flying archer with high mobility who is not particularly afraid of long-range attacks. He can perfectly cooperate with Donna's Sky Slasher and can also replace Xiaotian's Legion Sub-Sky.
When the Legion's sub-squads encounter flying enemies, they often rush forward and use their lives to delay time.
Unless the opponent is really weak, they will hardly be able to repel or defeat the enemy.
But the Brani Angel is different. She can keep the enemy out of the country and kill the enemy before they pose a threat to her. This is the advantage of ranged units.
If we have to point out one imperfection about her, it is that every time she goes into battle, she only carries 20 arrows with light attributes.
After using them up, Levi would either send her back and summon her again the next day. She would then take the opportunity to prepare the arrows again in the Seventh Heaven Mountain with the help of the abundant energy there.
Either he would prepare other normal or enchanted arrows for her, or simply fight with a scimitar with the same light attribute.
But in that case, her combat effectiveness will also be greatly reduced.
And just as Levi guessed, the two of them were indeed from the Seventh Heaven Mountain, so after seeing Levi, the master of the celestial mysteries, they didn't hesitate at all and sold themselves out directly.
Ever since the Seventh Heaven Mountain came into existence, there have been legends about the Celestial Mystics, but countless years have passed and not many Celestial Mystics have appeared.
For them, being able to fight with him means they can die without regrets.
Without even waiting for Levi to speak, they took the initiative to suggest that after they returned, they would definitely invite more companions to work for Levi together.
Levi naturally expressed his gratitude with a smile, and at the same time he felt as if he had found some trick.
If the angels in the Seventh Heaven Mountain all have this attitude towards the Celestial Mystics, then wouldn't my summoning list be able to expand countless times immediately?
However, this should only be an ideal situation.
There are more than one or two people and gods who know that they are masters of the mysteries of heaven.
But neither Michaela, Reiner, nor the two goddesses reminded me of this, which means that this trick is not so easy to use.
Perhaps, it is only effective against low- and medium-level angels like the two girls in front of me?
But you can still give it a try. It may be a trivial matter to the goddess, but for you now, it may still be worth a try.
But no matter what, their appearance is a good addition to their own lineup.
So Levi waved his hand and gave them several times more gold coins, light crystals, etc. Without even asking the price, he gave them even more generous rewards and remuneration.
Then he also asked the other party to help him find more celestial beings who were willing to serve him.
So the two angel girls happily agreed and returned hand in hand.
Cindy next to him was also happy for Levi. Now that the forces of evil are gaining ground, and even the evil god has taken action himself, they really need more power.
After finishing the summoning, Levi prepared to make something. After recent efforts, he was already able to make a flying magic carpet.
In addition , he also plans to get one for Sefa.
And he believed that the other party would never refuse.
She had previously used ice magic to move around the battlefield in a manner similar to ice skating. Not to mention the speed, the requirements on her physical strength, agility, and terrain were very high.
This flying item can almost immediately improve magic troops like hers.
One should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be grateful for what one has received. Favorability is increased little by little in this way.
As for Cindy, she can try to comprehend the priest's domain power.
Every time she increases her level by 2, she can learn a new ability in the field of strength and war. Now she has not yet finished learning every field.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Some pastors may not be able to comprehend one thing even after several years, and Levi does not have any special requirements for her.
Because even without the new power, she is already strong enough now.
But Cindy herself was very strong-willed and she nodded seriously.
Looking at her little appearance, Levi wanted to say something, but suddenly he was stunned, because he felt a strange throbbing, which came from the divinity he had obtained. It was the goddess Lilith calling him!
The next moment, her voice rang directly in his heart.
"Levi, I'm already in your room."
