As expected, on the road ahead, several priests temporarily acted as guides.
No matter whether there was a swamp, a mountain or a plain ahead, they did not dodge, but just went straight through.
Seeing this, Levi felt a little relieved. Even though Harpros reported to him that the scorpion guards they sent out were discovered and destroyed by the enemy one after another, his mood did not fluctuate too much.
Since Khalida herself had a clear plan, he could naturally save more effort.
After thinking about it, he took a few steps back and let the beast-shaped scarab smash a big hole where the ratman had passed before.
Then he saw the interconnected and crisscrossing tunnels below.
Wow, no wonder even the undead like grave wraiths can use their tunnels to launch raids.
How many years have these ratmen from the corrupt clan been hiding here?
With their help, it’s no wonder that Khalida couldn’t find the Silver Blood Army’s lair before, because they might be hiding in some rat holes!
In this case, perhaps what the fake Edward said before was not all lies...
After thinking for a while, Levi returned to the main force.
It’s no wonder that the direction pointed by the priests was very accurate, because it didn’t take long for Levi to feel that the secret marks he had left on those ratmen were echoing him from afar.
It was obvious that he was very close to those ratmen.
Now he felt more at ease, so he still had time to sort out the gains from this battle.
In addition to the upgrades or advancements of the subordinates, the main gains still come from the two hero units.
Although Edward himself is very new, his equipment is very special. He directly contributed one purple and two blue.
The two blue equipment are named Vitality Ball and Energy Ball, each of which can increase the health and magic limit by 50 points. They are also part of a certain combination treasure.
The purple one is called the Bloodthirster. As the name suggests, this two-handed sword not only has a very high attack power, but also has two special effects.
Drinking blood. After causing damage to the enemy, it can restore 8%-18% of the health of the holder.
Blood Shield: If the holder's health is full, the excess healing will be converted into a temporary energy shield, lasting up to 30 seconds, with an upper limit of 300 points.
The only restriction is that it must attack living creatures with blood.
If it is the undead, elemental, or plant, it will be invalid.
But despite this, its value was still very high, so Levi naturally handed them all to Elegy as soon as possible.
If this is combined with the Shining Gem of Hoeth and the Reborn Ouroboros, as well as other equipment on her, if the enemy has no magic troops to interfere, she may be able to directly become invincible among the tier 3 or even tier 4 troops.
However, the ratman named Twitch only gave him two daggers made of dimensional stone, as well as his unused arrows, venom and other things.
The highest level is just blue, which doesn't match its difficulty.
But there is no way, the magic of the ratmen is mostly related to the plague, and they are not good at making proper magic equipment.
It is also a pity that after several attempts, Levi found that he could not collect the souls of any heroic units with just the existing nine volumes of Nagash.
I guess the fragments of the hero's spirit can already be considered a part of the opponent's soul.
He had originally wondered whether a heroic unit could be born from this special type of Death Guard?
Normal constructs cannot gain experience points by killing enemies. If they want to advance, they can only replace parts.
But the Death Guards and God Guards are special cases. Their parts cannot be replaced, and once manufactured, they become an indivisible whole.
Similarly, there is the Terracotta Warriors series from Aurora.
Therefore, if you want to make them stronger, you can only spend some time on the raw materials at the beginning of manufacturing.
Unfortunately, this idea cannot be realized for the time being. We can only wait and see if there will be some changes after collecting a few more volumes.
After a slight sigh, probably because she saw that Levi's journey was over, Khalida also came over twisting and turning on her snake.
Although her manners were almost impeccable, he still couldn't help laughing every time he saw this scene.
No matter how much you like snakes, this thing is really not a particularly good mount.
As he was muttering, Levi heard Khalida say, "Levi, I want your help in making more Death Guards. I will prepare the materials for you, just like before."
Li Wei immediately responded very readily: "No problem, how much do you need?"
With the Nine Volumes of Nagash in hand, making Death Guards is a fool-proof operation. As long as there are enough materials, it will not take more than a few hours to make 100 of them.
At the same time, as he continued to manufacture, he vaguely felt that if the materials were sufficient and the number of times was sufficient, he might be able to truly comprehend the manufacturing method and even the ability to collect soul crystals.
By then, even if Lilith took it back, he would have already mastered the most important thing.
Moreover, this rich woman, Kalida, provided three sets of materials but only required one finished product, so the remaining two were naturally his labor costs.
Kalida hesitated for a moment and said, "For the 4th level, 200 each per week, and for the 5th level, 100 per week, how about that?"
Levi was immediately a little surprised. He never expected that Khalida would have such a big appetite.
4 types of level 4 and 1 type of level 5, totaling 900. Once he agrees, it means that he will have to set aside a certain amount of time almost every day to serve her exclusively.
Although in theory the more he produced, the more he would gain, his energy was limited.
And why did she need so much? To replenish the fighting power of Lahmia City?
But she didn't seem to be very interested in this before. After all, she liked snakes and cemetery knights more.
Could it be that because of today's battle, his ideas have changed?
Seeing that Levi was obviously hesitant, Khalida felt a little embarrassed. She knew that she had indeed gone too far.
But there was no way. She had just suffered great humiliation and she urgently wanted to change the current situation.
"Levi, I know my request is a bit excessive. How about this, don't make it difficult for me, just do what you can, and help me make some flying eagle-type ones first. I will definitely not let you work in vain."
"Apart from the advanced summoning monsters and the Amintok's Web, I will have the priests sort out their experience in magic."
"After this battle is over, I will prepare an extra gift for you."
Since Khalida has said this, how can Levi refuse?
He just became more curious, why did she seem so anxious?
Hearing Levi's question, Khalida couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry, but then she thought that Levi had seen the most humiliating scene when she was trapped in the Temple of Bones.
In comparison, these are nothing now.
"I want to tell those chosen heroes that Lahmia City is not without a future."
She still hasn't been able to completely calm down because those guys who betrayed her said that her city of Lahmia had no future.
After reaching the 5th level of Cemetery Knight, there are no new types of soldiers, and the weekly limit is so small that it is not their turn to recruit.
So even if you really offend her, there will be no serious consequences. The worst that can happen is that you can just start over and find another place to develop.
In this way, did Ramses, whom she valued before, betray her for the same reason? Or this was at least one of the reasons.
Although the Beetle Prince is notorious, the various beetle-shaped constructs under his command are also second to none among the Tomb Kings, and their combat power is indeed slightly better than her Graveyard Knights.
In addition to her determination to increase the number of Graveyard Knights and other units open to the outside world, she also wants to seek external assistance.
If Levi is willing to help, he can make up for the current weaknesses of Lahmia City to a considerable extent.
As for the money spent, she didn't care.
She didn't even think about snatching the manufacturing method from Levi.
Her trade in dragon staffs with Zhendan had lasted for thousands of years, and she had never thought of buying the manufacturing methods because money was of little use to her and she was not short of money.
But through this kind of transaction, she was able to maintain a good relationship with the other party, and she could still calculate the deal clearly.
Levi didn't know what to say. He had never thought about it in this regard before, but it was indeed true.
And it's not just Khalida's Lahmia city.
The most obvious example is those God-chosen heroes who originally chose relatively weaker races such as goblins or halflings. The upper limit of the types of soldiers they can hire from their own race is very low.
But of course he had no reason to disagree. This was a win-win situation for both parties. Anyway, Kalida had said so, so he just had to do his best.
After confirming the general situation, Khalida thanked again and then explained the current situation to Levi.
Just as he guessed, the priests were driving their insect-shaped pets to track the remaining scent of the ratmen and vampires.
The reason why she didn't tell Levi before was that she was worried that there might be traitors around.
But now the traitors have basically been exposed, and the priests have also caught them by the tail, so there is naturally no need to hide any longer.
Levi had no complaints either, after all, this was her army.
As long as the Nine Volumes of Nagash were his in the end, he didn't particularly care about the process.
Seeing that Levi's expression did not seem fake, Khalida felt a little relieved.
Levi is not only her savior, but also the one favored by the elven gods. Maintaining a good relationship with him will only benefit her and the city of Lahmia.
After negotiating this matter, Khalida turned her head back to watching the actions of the priests, while Levi made a rough calculation of his approximate daily workload.
While making it for Khalida, he also had to keep a portion for himself.
Death Guards are extremely versatile, and they are needed by the Lords of Thorn Town, Ostak City, or other villages.
And it can be expected that if he has any remaining ones, the Red Brotherhood of the Lotus and even the Sun Knights and others will not reject them.
Although the mechanical repetition every day will be a bit boring, there is nothing we can do about it since it is all for the sake of profit.
After making a rough plan, Levi also used the necessary magic every day to summon loyal servants and allies from other worlds in order to expand his summoning list.
Similarly, this is also one of Cindy's daily tasks. If she can summon some powerful reinforcements, it is very likely to change the local battle situation at a critical moment.
As the light flickered, Levi was delighted, because his luck today was quite good. He actually summoned two new celestial creatures at once, and their strength was also very good, both of them were level 5 soldiers.
The first is called the Flame Archon Embersguard, and uses a two-handed flaming greataxe as a weapon.
He has high attack, thick health, and relatively low defense, and is a typical berserker type.
In terms of skills, in addition to the common warrior skills such as charge and sweep, he also has three special skills.
The first is Flame Guard, which can greatly increase fire resistance, slightly increase other magic resistance, and burn enemies that get too close to him.
Next is Flame Strike, which can strengthen the attack and cause continuous burning damage to the target.
Finally, there is Embers. Every time you kill an enemy, their body will be burned in flames, causing a small amount of damage to nearby enemies.
There is nothing special after that. His skill panel is obviously much simpler than most tier 5 soldiers, such as Avalon.
There's just a slight problem with his camp. He is in chaotic neutral. Based on his nature, he may not be able to perfectly execute the orders given by Levi in ​​battle.
But as a consumable, he is undoubtedly very qualified.
Moreover, based on Levi's identity as a celestial mystic and his many skills in improving celestial creatures, he decided to bring his relatives and friends to work for Levi almost as soon as he appeared, so that Levi would never worry about the issue of numbers.
So Levi decided that when necessary in the future, he would just throw them into the area where the enemy was most concentrated to create chaos.
They are absolutely very efficient when dealing with miscellaneous soldiers, such as ratmen.
The second one to respond to his call was also an Archon, but it was a very rare beast-type Archon - the Night Owl Archon.
It looks like a giant owl about 3 meters tall with black and white feathers.
Its sharp claws, pointed beak and large round eyes all gleamed with a silvery-white glow, indicating that it was a typical celestial creature.
Therefore, when it uses these natural weapons to attack, they are regarded as good weapons and can cause additional damage to evil such as undead, demons, and devils.
When necessary, its eyes can also emit holy beams to cause damage to evil creatures.
This move only looks very similar to Levi's Heavenly Gaze in appearance, but its actual effect is much weaker.
Then it also has skills such as talking to animals, soothing animals, charming animals, night vision and intimidating aura. Basically, you can tell their respective effects from the names.
Looking at its attribute panel again, Levi found that except for its agility, other aspects were not particularly ideal.
In this way, its position among the celestial beings becomes more obvious.
It should be a flying scout similar to the Overseer, and is particularly good at reconnaissance at night.
However, it cannot replace the Inspector of the Sub-Sky, because the core ability of the Inspector of the Sub-Sky is to transmit information.
But it also has its own advantages. If the enemy also sends out flying animals such as eagles for reconnaissance, its skills can be perfectly utilized.
By then, maybe it will not only be able to instigate the opponent, but also help Li Wei follow the clues, find the opponent's position, and then launch a targeted attack.
Levi decided to put it together with the Inspector Sub-Kongs first, cooperate with each other, and see the situation first.
Seeing how easily Levi signed the summoning contract with them, the priests who were watching eagerly nearby were very envious.
So without Levi saying anything, they came over very consciously and took the initiative to share their experiences in summoning magic.
Levi couldn't help but laugh secretly. Although these guys had shared a lot with him before out of respect for Khalida, they were still more or less reserved.
It was not until now, after seeing my ability in this area with their own eyes, that they really came over and wanted to cling to me and learn a few tricks from me.
What a pity, the fact that I can maintain such a good relationship with the celestial creatures is due to many coincidences.
Even if he gave them all his experience, these priests would never be able to repeat it successfully.
The most fundamental and direct issue is their race.
Unless they are celestial creatures in the kingdom of the Egyptian gods, other celestial creatures simply look down on these mummies, okay?
But despite this, Levi still imparted some experience and insights and also gained something from the other party.
In addition to several small magic spells that summon animals unique to the desert, the most valuable one is the covenant scroll of the egret.
According to the other party, the sphinx is a very special existence among the many sphinx subspecies, because its intelligence is often at least one level higher than that of its peers.
They are not aggressive, but rather enjoy creating magical items.
But due to their race, it is difficult for them to obtain enough materials.
Moreover, when ordinary humanoid races see them, they will basically just shout and kill.
Because in the wild, most sphinxes are quite ferocious, even cruel, and the external impression of them has long been solidified, which has greatly affected them.
So they will create some special magic scrolls to select wizards who have no prejudice against them in order to achieve long-term cooperation.
That is, the mage provides the materials, they process them, and then the finished products are handed over to the mage.
Yes, they only enjoy the process of making magical items, but they don't have much desire for them themselves.
Hearing this, does it mean that the magician will have a great advantage?
But in reality, there are other additional requirements.
Because sphinxes are very intelligent, they have certain requirements for the mage's camp and race.
At least they are kind, preferably humans or elves, and others are not unacceptable, but their attitudes are definitely different.
And the level should not be too high, because they are worried that if the gap between the magician's strength and their own is too big, they may be fooled or exploited without knowing it.
For these reasons, not only are the priests in front of him useless, but Levi is also not qualified.
Sally, Sefa and the others should be okay.
The next most important thing is that the mage needs to protect them.
When they are invaded by foreign enemies, they will cast summoning magic and call on the wizards for help.
If the wizard refuses to help, or they die in battle, the contract will naturally end.
But in 24 hours a day, who knows when they will encounter enemies? Who knows where their nests are?
Moreover, for ordinary priests who do not master teleportation spells, it is easy to go, but it may not be easy to come back.
What's more, the priests serve under Khalida. If there is a conflict in time, they will of course follow Khalida's side.
The combination of so many reasons made the scroll look very precious, and it was indeed very precious, but none of the priests were willing to use it, so in the end Levi got it.
Of course, he didn't take advantage of the opponent for free with just a few words of experience. He also threw two Eagle-type Death Guards to the opponent in return.
This made the other party very happy and he kept thanking Levi.
There are few flying constructs to begin with, and the Tomb Kings faction has none of its own in this regard.
In the past, they either used carrion vultures or gargoyles, with a few sphinxes occasionally mixed in, which were considered the absolute main force.
However, these Eagle Guards not only have quite different strengths, but are also constructs, which makes them particularly precious.
In fact, it is hard to say which of these two things is more valuable, because Levi is not sure what kind of magic items the sphinx can make.
But he didn't care about this little thing, just treat it as a huge sum of money to buy horse bones.
Given his current relationship with Khalida, they would definitely have frequent exchanges and communication with each other in the future.
With this example, if there is something good in the future that Levi can use but they can’t, will these priests rush to contact him?
After thinking for a while, Levi threw the scroll to Sally and asked her to keep it for the time being. After things here were over and they were in the best condition, they could decide who to give it to.
In fact, compared to the magic items that the other party might make, he is more interested in the summoning at the critical moment.
Because the bear-headed gods all master the 5th-level teleportation technique, if the egret-headed sphinx summons the wizard who has a contract with it to a place hundreds of miles away, can Levi and the others also join in the fun?
Seeing Levi summon two new celestial creatures, Cindy also grinned and joined in the fun.
Compared to Levi's, her summoning list is undoubtedly much simpler, but also more specific.
Except for her father, no matter they are the Helmet Angels or Shield-Crown Angels who usually serve as equipment, or the Guardian Angels and Battle Angels with extraordinary combat power, they all belong to the angel family.
I don’t know if they were lucky today, but Cindy soon got something. However, this time it was not an angel, but a snow-white tiger man.
At first glance, the other party looked somewhat similar to the Tiger Envoy, but soon everyone around them could be sure that they were completely different creatures.
Because compared to the tiger masters who used their claws as weapons, most of them only had a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists, while the other party was fully armed.
He held a spear in one hand and a dagger in the other, and had a bow and arrow behind his back.
She is most likely a celestial tiger person.
Yes, even though she was wrapped tightly, it was still easy to tell from her undulating curves and soft face that she was a female | tiger person, or should I say female?
Levi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Cindy, who had never summoned any creature other than an angel, happened to summon the other party at this time.
Tiger people are big cats in a way, and are also good at hunting rat people.
Moreover, the other party's dress is almost exactly the same as those tigresses currently staying in the black iron mine. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
So silently, he conveyed a few words to Cindy through the surveillance camera.
After greeting Cindy, she quickly glanced around, and when she saw Levi, her eyes lit up.
But he did not rashly communicate with Levi, but immediately frowned again: "Summoner, I smell the stench of ratmen. Are the enemies this time those disgusting beasts?"
"Well, yes, we are chasing the ratmen, but they are hiding in the underground passages, so it is not the time to start a fight yet."
The female|Khaji frowned. "Is that so?"
Cindy nodded repeatedly: "So, if the war starts later, can you bring more companions to join the battle? I will pay enough!"
The female tiger man's brows finally relaxed. She placed one hand on her chest and bowed to Cindy.
"I see, summoner. I am Jumana, a celestial tiger ranger. I am willing to sign a contract with you to watch over each other, and will do my best to help you find more companions who are willing to fight for justice."
"Okay, thank you very much!"
As she said this, Cindy took out a handful of light element crystals and gold coins. To the celestial beings, the former were more valuable than the latter.
Jumana didn't say much. She took the things without even looking at them. Then, she glanced at Levi in ​​what she thought was a covert move before she disappeared into the magic circle.
At this time, Cindy ran over happily and looked up and said, "Brother Li Wei, how did I do?"
Levi smiled and patted the other's head: "Yes, Cindy is very powerful. It seems that we may get some unexpected reinforcements when we fight the ratmen next time."
The current help from the other party is secondary, but if a relationship can be established, there will definitely be many benefits in the future.
It seems that although the monitor had behaved very shyly before, he must have interacted with those tigresses a lot in the past few days, otherwise how could the tiger goddess notice him so quickly?
Cindy was still a little confused: "Is it really possible that she came from that place?"
"It's about right."
The more he learned, the more he understood how rare the Celestial Mystics were, not to mention that he, Luna, and Alyssa all possessed divinity.
For the true God, as long as you are willing to spend some effort, you can always know roughly.
It seems that the tiger goddess worshipped by those tigresses, Furik, is not as careless and indifferent as the legend says.
Or, is it possible that other gods gave her the advice behind the scenes?
For example, her brother, the Bear God, who was known for his idleness and wisdom?
Well, speaking of which, the big horned rat worshipped by the ratmen is the most evil and shameless guy even among the gods of the beastmen.
Therefore, it provoked many enemies including the God of Bear People and the God of Tiger People. At this moment, it was only natural for the other party to send a few younger brothers and sisters to kill more rat people.
