Volume 4 Chapter 502: Acquisition of the Immortal Palace
Not long after, a group of people from Zhendan also arrived.
Although he had just received some reports, when he actually saw the opponent's lineup, Levi finally understood why Lunala was particularly cautious this time.
Because in addition to the fleet that had already docked at the port, this time the other party also brought some flying war equipment called sky lanterns and sky boats.
Among them, sky lanterns look like oversized lanterns. They do not fly very fast and are mainly used to provide vision.
Secondly, there will be some crane gunners on board, who will take advantage of their high ground to carry out some targeted sniping missions.
The Tianzhou is a warship equipped with a large number of sky lanterns, which use their power to soar into the air and turn it into an aerial fortress.
The number of soldiers and war equipment on board is obviously many times more than that of Tianzhou.
But the weakness is also unavoidable, that is speed. Tianzhou is even slower than the sky lantern.
This means that they are absolutely superior to Donna's Sky Slasher in terms of frontal combat power.
But if it is a real large-scale group battle, for the same amount of money, the more flexible and cheaper Tianzhanzhe often has better overall performance than Tianzhou.
However, what Levi was more interested in was the energy that powered the sky lanterns and sky boats.
It was a flying bird that was completely red and only a few feet long - the Yanghui Suzaku. It was said to have the bloodline of the Suzaku, one of the three sacred beasts of Zhendan.
At first, there was a legend among the people of Zhendan that there were five sacred beasts: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise and the Kylin.
But the dragons of Zhendan and the god of Qilin - Corell, are all gods in the true sense. Naturally, they do not want to be listed on the same level as the other three, and are even less willing to be called beasts, so now there are only three sacred beasts left.
Combined with a small amount of elemental crystals and magic arrays, Yanghui Suzaku can often fight for a long time, making the energy pressure of sky lanterns and the like much smaller than that of similar war equipment.
If we can get them, can we find a way to arrange them on the Black Ark?
Soon Li Wei also saw the envoy from the Yuan family - Yuan Huan. Compared with before, the other party was obviously much more enthusiastic this time.
He came up and apologized hurriedly, saying that he had failed to bring the fairy palace to Levi as agreed.
On the one hand, it was because many of Zhendan's chosen heroes were also working towards this goal, causing the price of the Fairy Palace, which had been ignored for hundreds of years, to change dramatically in a short period of time.
On the other hand, it was also because the Queen of the Blue Sea - the Water God - Minglong - Yinyin, had just won a great victory over the Nipeng Combined Fleet about a week ago.
And with the assistance of Kirin God - Corell, and several demigods under his command, he seriously injured the storm god - Susanoo, the rain god - Ugami, and the purity god - Tamayori Otohime of the Nibon pantheon.
Therefore, at least in the next few years, the navy of various forces in Nibon, as well as many pirates, will have to live with their heads down.
For many wealthy businessmen along the coast, this is a good opportunity to go out to sea and make money.
Faced with this situation, the Yuan family, as a noble and powerful family, naturally would not fall behind.
They recently opened up new trade routes and participated in sea transportation, so they have been very busy these days, which has distracted a lot of manpower and energy, so Yuan Huan arrived a little late this time.
It’s interesting to say that although Nibon is an island country, there has never been a real sea god.
Because the Zhendan Dragon Gods had already started planning a long time ago.
They first joined forces to set up a trap and killed Nibon's original evil sea god, Toyotamahiko.
Afterwards, a series of effective plans were carried out, and whoever wanted to become the God of the Sea would be dealt with first.
Since the Nipon pantheon has not been truly unified, there are also many factions within it, such as the Betsujin God, the Seven Generations of Gods, and the Three Noble Sons, etc.
Therefore, the plans of the dragon gods went very smoothly. The other Nipeng gods who were not affected often kept a distance from the matter and some even took advantage of the situation and made secret moves.
Among them, the one most likely to become the god of the ocean is Susanoo.
He was originally a god of medium power, ambitious, and wanted to become the master of the sea and compete with the Ming Dragon - Yinyin.
But under the continuous attacks from the Dragon Gods, he was about to lose his position as a weaker god, so he had no choice but to give up his dream and declare to the outside world that his only priesthood was storm.
No one knows how many years have passed. When the Nipon pantheon gradually became less chaotic and the gods realized that internal strife was not the key and resisting foreign enemies was what was truly important, it was already too late.
Under the targeting of the Zhendan dragon gods, the Nipeng pantheon can no longer give birth to a true sea god.
In this way, the Nepon pantheon will always be more than capable in defense but seriously lacking in offense, and the threat to the coastal areas of Zhendan will naturally become much smaller.
But if you want to become a real sea god, you can't work in isolation, so the Nebon gods can only bite the bullet, time and again, to support many beings who may become sea gods and frequently participate in naval battles.
For the Nipon pantheon, this became a very embarrassing situation: they couldn't win if they fought, but they also couldn't not fight.
Among the three defeated Nipeng gods, let alone Suzhan Mingzun, he had no idea how many times he had been defeated by Minglong, and he was probably suffering from a psychological trauma.
The rain god, Ugami, was actually in charge of rivers, floods and rain, but she only had weak divine power, so when she fought against Minglong, she was naturally crushed in all aspects.
Tamayori Otohime is even weaker, she is just a demigod.
Her duties are purification, prophecy and witch, none of which have anything to do with the ocean.
She had never been a warlike god, and no one knew why she was instigated to fight Ming Long.
Levi thought about it and felt that it might be related to her bloodline.
Legend has it that she has dragon blood, and is the secret offspring of a certain Zhendan dragon god and a certain Nipeng god.
Perhaps the gods of Nibon thought that the Abyssinian Dragon would show mercy to her because of this?
Li Wei suddenly remembered the previous system announcement. Did Tianjin Wolf Star also see this opportunity and decided to start a civil war?
After apologizing, Yuan Huan also said that he had prepared some compensation, hoping to make up for his mistake a little.
First of all, as for the price of the Fairy Palace, he gave the greatest discount within his authority, which was only 50,000 gold coins.
Although it is still very expensive, this fairy palace was carefully selected by him and has been developed to a certain extent. It has a variety of god-given buildings and extremely rich resources.
As he said this, he took out a palm-sized miniature fairy palace with an extremely exquisite shape, even surrounded by some clouds and mist, and handed it to Levi.
Zhendan Palace (Yellow Level) (Not Activated)
Area: 1.2X1.5 km (expandable)
Power source: Dragon Mystic Magic Array (not activated)
Protection array: Dragon God's Blessing (not activated)
There are currently 7/12 divine buildings, with 5 spaces remaining.
1. Chongyang Recruitment Institute: can recruit peasant long-handled spearmen (level 1) (160 per week);
2. Shangyin Recruitment Field: You can recruit agricultural archers (level 1) (120 per week);
3. Jade Warrior Training Ground: You can recruit Jade Warrior Sword Soldiers and Jade Warrior Spear Soldiers (Level 2) (90 per week) and use it as a place for daily training to accumulate combat experience;
4. Dan Ding Building: You can recruit exiled Dan Ding Masters (Level 4) (16 per week);
5. Oriental Bazaar: 10-25 units of spices are randomly produced every day, which can be used to prepare medicines or improve the flavor of food, etc. After 100 days, they will be automatically destroyed (cannot be repaired);
6. Sky Lantern Outpost: Up to 10 sky lanterns can be docked at a special location, temporarily serving as sentinels and arrow towers;
7. Ya Tea Party: The chance of an ownerless hero visiting is slightly increased, and the attraction to a very small number of special beings is greatly increased (special tavern).
Other resource reserves: wood (10,000), stone (10,000)
Even though he had anticipated this, Levi was still surprised by the other party's generosity, mainly because the weekly recruitment volume of these God-given buildings was a bit outrageous.
Given Levi's current good relationship with the celestial creatures, he can only recruit a maximum of 20 level 3 Wolf Patrols per town per week.
But the size of this Yuyong Martial Arts Arena has increased several times.
Alchemists are a special type of magic soldier. In addition to mastering the art of gold and fire, they can also create various consumable elixirs to temporarily enhance attack, defense, or treatment on the battlefield.
Alchemists with stronger abilities can also create many other props.
After using some special precious materials, they might even be able to create high-level elixirs that can permanently improve properties.
Although most of them are only effective for military units, and these enhancements often become invalid when they are promoted to heroic units, they are still popular among many of the chosen heroes of Zhendan.
Apart from anything else, if you can find a level 1 elite subordinate and let him eat some high-level elixirs, his ability to survive on the battlefield and his chances of advancement will definitely be much stronger than those of an ordinary level 1 soldier.
But for them, having 3-5 Alchemy Masters under their command is already very good, and they will all try their best to train these Alchemy Masters into heroic units.
But Levi can recruit 16 of these powerful soldiers every week. Just for this God-given building, Levi feels that three or five thousand gold coins may not be enough.
As for the number of recruiting the two types of level 1 old farmers, Levi was somewhat accustomed to it.
The Dragon Emperor of Zhendan is named Shen Yang, and the Moon Queen is named Gui Yin. The divine buildings that worship these two are definitely much stronger than conventional models.
The other buildings also have their own characteristics.
The only drawback now may be that the area of this fairy palace is a little small, and there are strict restrictions on the number of divine buildings that can be built.
But it is not a big problem, as these buildings can be demolished, and there is one very special thing about the Zhendan Palace, which is that they can be pieced together like building blocks.
The quality of the fairy palace is roughly divided into four levels from high to low: heaven, earth, black and yellow. If there are enough yellow-level fairy palaces, they can be assembled into a heaven-level fairy palace.
It is said that the heaven of the Zhendan dragon gods is made up of countless fairy palaces.
Looking at the current attitude of the Yuan family, or the Zhendan forces behind it, towards him, it is obviously not difficult to obtain more fairy palaces as long as he can pay enough gold coins.
And being small also has its advantages, it is very flexible.
Unlike the Black Ark, once it goes out, it is difficult to find a place to dock because there is no port that big enough.
After looking through it several times, Levi decided to return the Fairy Palace to the other party because the incident happened suddenly and he did not have enough gold coins.
He also had to seek support from Khalida, and give her a bunch of things he got from Bag City, including the scarab breeding technology, snake girls, etc.
Well, also send a message to Zhou Miyin, asking him to bring his Aurora Guards over.
Since there will be a stable channel for recruiting Zhendan troops in the future, it would naturally be best to let him, who was born in Zhendan, take direct command.
Moreover, after activating the Immortal Palace, a trusted aide is indeed needed to guard it.
But Yuan Huan didn't take it, just said there was no rush.
Because he came here not only to sell this fairy palace, he also wanted to reach a long-term and stable cooperation with Levi.
The various dinosaurs in Fear Rock were also very attractive to him who was born in China.
Zhendan is a vast sea that has attracted many alien races to join it, but most of those alien races such as monkey people, panda people, tiger people and crow people are still humanoid races, and there are very few war beasts.
They can create constructs such as the Terracotta Warriors and the Royal Guards, but in terms of flexibility and endurance, they are somewhat inferior to the dinosaurs. After all, most buff and healing spells are not suitable for constructs.
What's more, no one would complain that their troops are too numerous or too diverse.
Naturally, there was no reason for Levi to refuse. After all, he would sell it to anyone. The other party was a super rich man. If they could really reach a cooperation, he would be fully capable of buying all the dinosaurs produced on the island.
Next came Yuan Huan’s second sincerity, Yanghui Suzaku and Yuehua Qingluan.
These two rare level 5 bird types look like mini versions of the phoenix, one red and one blue, with corresponding attributes, one yang and one yin.
However, they are not a type of soldier that directly participates in hand-to-hand combat, because apart from their extraordinary speed, their attack, defense, life and many other aspects are completely insignificant, and they are very easy to be killed.
But their value is surprisingly high.
The former feeds on fire crystals and fire gems, and converts them into a continuous supply of energy.
In fact, they are the most important source of energy for sky lanterns, sky boats and fairy palaces.
If there are enough of them, they can theoretically also be used to drive black arks, etc.
The latter is said to be the descendant of the Moon Queen's pet, Qingluan, who came to the mortal world on behalf of the Moon Queen to spread the Moon Queen's kindness and protect the mortals of Zhendan.
They have only one special skill, the Moonlight Aura. With the Moonlight Aura as the center, all friendly forces within a 15-meter diameter will be slowly healed, recovering 1 health point every 3 seconds.
At first glance, this value is very low, only 20 points per minute, but its advantage is that it has no consumption and is a passive skill.
A Moon-colored Luan can cover at least 20 to 30 people. If a battle lasts for several hours, its healing power will be an astronomical figure, far better than that of an ordinary priest.
If we really talk about battlefield value, Levi feels that it is not much inferior to the one he rides on Xiaolan.
Moreover, they can also be upgraded. After the upgrade, the range and healing effect of the Moonlight Aura will be further enhanced.
There are 5 of each kind here, a total of 10, which are worth at least thousands of gold coins, and they are the kind that are out of stock.
The other party was so polite, Levi couldn't be stingy, so to show his sincerity, he first took out a special drawing.
"I heard that many alchemists in Weixi Province like to study dimensional stones and sulfur, so it should be of some value to them, right?"
Yuan Huan didn't care too much at first. He just took it with both hands out of politeness. After just a quick glance at it, his eyes immediately lit up.
"It turns out to be the construction blueprints for the Dimensional Stone Furnace!"
That’s right, what Levi took out was one of the spoils he obtained during the conquest of Silver Peak.
He originally wanted to develop in the colonies. If he expanded eastward, in addition to the Ogre Kingdom, he would sooner or later have to deal with the Province of Wesile.
At first, he was thinking of using this as a stepping stone to see if he could have a deal with the other party's boss, the god of forging and metal - Binlong - Zhaoming.
But now that he has become the Lord of Dread Rock, this thing is of no use.
Because at least in the next few months, or even years, he will have to concentrate on the development of Fear Rock.
Afterwards, they might join forces with Paradise Island and Kalida to first deal with the surrounding evil aquatic creatures, and then go looking for trouble with the Nibon or the snake people.
After that, he might have become a god, and naturally he would not care much about the territory in the mortal world.
But for Yuan Huan, this blueprint is definitely of great value.
Apart from the Skaven, it seems that no other race has ever been heard of that can stably mine dimensional stone. That thing is usually a special material that can only be found in the lairs of demons or devils.
Even though the Yuan family worked for the Weixi Province, the mistress there, Miaoying, did not like the alchemist, so it was nothing more than running errands.
Maybe he would even have a chance to meet Binlong Zhaoming in person!
Seeing Yuan Huan's delighted face, Li Wei couldn't help but smile. "Please take a rest at Fear Rock first. I'll have my men gather the dinosaurs first. The funding issue will be resolved in the afternoon."
It was called a solution, but in reality it was nothing more than borrowing money from Khalida.
As the lord of Lahmia, she was wealthy and generous, and had long become Levi's biggest creditor.
Yuan Huan naturally agreed, and after confirming some details about the transaction, he pondered for a moment and asked about the Dragon Cloud Element.
Levi immediately said frankly that he did not have any more information for the time being, and summoning the dragon form might just be a simple coincidence.
Even the Messenger of Mercy can't figure this out, so perhaps only the boss on Mount Paradise - the Watcher - can understand the details.
But for Levi, this was a little far-fetched, because that guy was mysterious all day long, and even the Messenger of Mercy couldn't see him casually.
Yuan Huan sighed, and then settled for the second best. If Levi had more accurate information, he could contact them first.
The dragon gods attach great importance to any information about the missing light dragon. This matter has even attracted the attention of their Yuan family's boss, the God of Storms - Biaolong - Miaoying.
Levi naturally agreed and asked Alyssa to take the other party in to rest. Levi also left with the Asgard, ready to seize the time to create more special constructs such as snake ladies, dragon golems and death guards and hand them over to the other party.
Pure gold coins and the like are a bit of a disadvantage, and you can't really tell their value.
But if you trade with Death Guard, you might be able to make a small profit.
As for the Fairy Palace, Levi has no intention of activating it directly for the time being, because when it is not activated, it is a palm-sized gadget that can be put into a space ring and carried with you.
But once activated, its extremely large size means that it will consume a lot of energy, but its movement speed will not be fast.
He didn't even know how much enemy attention he would attract and how many defenders he would need to send.
Therefore, Levi believes that the greatest significance of Asgard lies in its role as an aerial fortress, standing sentinel or guarding, and cooperating with ground forces in combat.
Maybe it will get a chance to come into play in his next plan.
