Volume 4 Chapter 547: Request for Alliance
After being busy for a while and taming a dozen triceratops, Penthesilea also came over with Hippolyta.
As soon as Levi saw Penthesilea's brisk steps and the uncontrollable smile on her lips, he knew that she must have gained the upper hand in this little game of sister reunion.
Hippolyta thanked Levi very politely: "Thank you Prince Levi for your help in the Lost City."
Levi naturally treated him with courtesy, and then Hippolyta didn't waste any words, she directly took out a little light:
"This is the divinity that comes from the goddess of hunting. There has never been anyone in the Lost City that can match it, but I think Donna would be a very suitable candidate."
Levi raised his eyebrows. He was now a little curious about what the two sisters had just said that made Hippolyta so straightforward in bringing out her divinity.
But the thing is already in front of me, so I might as well take it.
Then Levi returned the favor and took out a space ring: "I have made some progress in making constructs recently. This is a little gift from me to the Queen."
In fact, he had prepared quite a few similar space rings in advance, and each ring contained a variety of constructs, ranging from snake girls, dragon golems, to death guards, clockwork dragons, and so on.
Even Sphinxes are stored in some special space rings.
Although the number is not large, it can definitely fully demonstrate Levi's ability in this area.
This can be considered a trial package. If anyone is interested in it, perhaps we can start a long-term cooperation with Fear Rock.
After taking a quick look at the ring and noticing the 7th-order Sphinx inside, Hippolyta was delighted.
Although Penthesilea had just made a lot of promises to her, she had never formally dealt with Levi before, so she was still somewhat nervous.
Even though she had discovered clues from the equipment that Penthesilea had replaced, there was still a big difference between her and herself.
But now it seems that at least Levi will be a very generous elf.
"I was just about to discuss this matter with Prince Levi. The Lost City needs some constructs to strengthen its defenses. I also hope to reach further cooperation with Prince Levi."
Although the Lost City was much inferior to Paradise Island, and he was somewhat jealous of Penthesilea because of this, it was not to such an embarrassing situation.
Until the last time the shepherd god - Pan went mad, in order to seize the trident, he slaughtered most of the elite of the Lost City in one go. It would take decades for the Lost City to recover.
Although it was a blessing in disguise, the Lost City received help from the goddess Diana and the god Kratos, and the Spartans simply migrated here as a whole clan.
But before they could gain a firm foothold, a series of unexpected events occurred in Lustria. Various evil alien races emerged one after another, and they continued to lose strength.
Even with the backing of gods, the Lost City should not be destroyed, but if the performance is too poor, even the gods will be ashamed.
That was why Hippolyta came to support Lord Huahua despite already having insufficient troops, just to seek a stable ally.
Unfortunately, before she could really help the Lizardmen, the King Killer Planet arrived, and under the influence of the Dragon Madness Mystique, both the Amazons and the Spartans suffered heavy losses.
The only consolation is that Lord Huahua expressed his deep apologies and has expressed his willingness to formally form an alliance with the Lost City.
But in this situation, the Lizardmen might not be able to send out any forces in a short period of time, so Hippolyta naturally had to find other ways.
Although she was reluctant to give up her divinity, she wanted to repay her gratitude and gain allies, as well as the constructs that Penthesilea had been advocating for a long time as a source of strength. What other choice did she have?
Although Levi did not think highly of the power of the Lost City, Hippolyta herself was a legend and there were two gods behind her, so he smiled and said it was no problem.
After taking a glance at that divinity, Levi discovered that Hippolyta was not just being polite, and the requirements for using it were not low.
Level, attributes, expertise, race...
With this series of requirements, one basically has to be close to legendary to meet them. In the Lost City, except for Hippolyta, the other Amazons obviously do not meet the requirements.
In order to use this divinity, one had to pass a trial set by the goddess of hunting, which was an even higher threshold.
But now the Amazon's hunting goddess has run away, and the trial is naturally no longer valid. Donna now barely meets the other conditions.
So Levi put it away for the time being, planning to ask Lilith or Illidan to help check it later to make sure there were no other backup plans before giving it to Donna.
Lord Huahua on the other side also saw this scene even though he was busy, and he couldn't help but think about it for a moment.
In this situation, he and all the lizardmen needed Levi's magic to eliminate the dragon madness, but Levi also said that it was the power given to him by the elven goddess.
What conditions should I offer to get him to help tame other crazy dinosaurs, or even teach this magic to me?
Due to the power of the ancient saints, Tyrannosaurus and Troglodytes will not be affected by the Dragon Madness Chain, but other dinosaurs will find it difficult to escape.
If it weren't for the low- and medium-level dinosaurs in the City of Mist, which are usually free-range in the wild, the city itself would probably be in danger now.
Then he struggled again, because he actually knew the answer, but he was somewhat reluctant to give it up.
If his speculation is true, the value of what is hidden there is much higher than just one point of divinity.
But for the overall benefit of the Lizardmen, he had to make a choice!
After being busy for a while, Levi finally calmed down all the dinosaurs selected by Lord Huahua. This really took a lot of his effort.
Lord Huahua next to him also saw it. After all, the Dragon Madness Elimination is an 8th-level magic. Levi released it so many times in one breath, which shows his sincerity.
This made Lord Huahua feel that he owed Levi, but it also made him completely determined.
He began to enthusiastically invite Levi to visit the City of Mist, saying that he would entertain Levi and discuss shadow magic when he had free time.
This is still quite attractive to Levi. Although he does not intend to use shadow magic as the main means of combat, he will most likely teach it to his subordinates through the Shadow Records in the future. Now he should learn more experience from Lord Huahua so that he can teach others better in the future.
What's more, being able to discuss spells with a magic toad is something that many wizards in the main world would never dream of, right?
Hippolyta, who had been chatting with Penthesilea for a long time, planned to return to the lost city.
The troops she brought this time suffered heavy losses and could no longer help the Lizardmen. She also had to go back to see the extent of the damage to the Lost City.
Lord Huahua did not try to persuade her to stay, but just repeated once again that his City of Mist would sign a defensive alliance with the Lost City, which could reassure Hippolyta a little.
After saying hello to Levi again, Hippolyta left.
Looking at her back, Penthesilea felt a little complicated. She didn't expect that her sister had changed so much.
But all in all, this is a good thing. After Zeus and other gods left, the sisters really needed to unite and face this dangerous world together.
But her hint just now really made me feel a little embarrassed...
Thinking of this, Penthesilea quickly glanced at Levi. Seeing that he still looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Levi didn't hear it.
But little did she know that Donna and Wange behind her looked at each other, both looking like they were waiting for a good show.
Did Levi attract another woman? They were not surprised, but according to their understanding, Penthesilea's figure might not meet Levi's requirements. Her legs were long enough, but her breasts were a little small...
But they are very curious about what the final outcome will be. If the queen succeeds, will she have to call them sister?
This time, Levi really didn't notice the Amazon's little movements because he was busy communicating with Lord Huahua.
Within a few minutes, he discovered that the other party not only had extremely high attainments in shadow and illusion magic, but also had a very thorough understanding of the nature of magic.
The lifespan of the magic toad is extremely long, often several thousand years, longer than some young gods.
They don't have any hobbies except sleeping and studying various magic.
They are naturally extremely talented, and with the accumulation of time, their foundation is extremely rich.
Even if it was just a normal chat, Levi felt that he had improved.
More importantly, according to Lord Huahua, with the help of the power of the giant spiritual network, he can almost completely break away from the magic network and cast spells, which is what Levi most desires.
The Overworld is awash with magical energies, but they are often too chaotic and disordered for ordinary mortals to easily harness.
It often requires the use of the magic net created by the first generation magic goddess to transform it into relatively docile energy, and then transform it into magic and release it.
Without the help of the magic net, either the spell cannot be cast at all, or it may cause all kinds of bad consequences, such as summoning demons, or sending your entire family to the sky with one shot of magic.
The Sigma Empire is home to many witch hunters. In addition to exterminating evil races, they also have an important task, which is to always be vigilant against those civilians who cannot afford to go to magic academy but want to teach themselves.
Mages, warlocks, bards, etc. all use the magic network to cast spells.
If the goddess of magic dislikes someone, she may completely block that person from the magic net, making him/her lose the ability to cast spells.
If the goddess of magic favors someone, she can also give that person some privileges, allowing him or her to master powerful magic that he or she would not be able to cast otherwise.
It is said that the daughters of the previous generation of the goddess of magic were even generous enough to give all kinds of small magic-related benefits to the mortal wizards who had a night of pleasure with them.
Priests, paladins, etc. usually have to go through an extra procedure, which is to ask God for help. The God will help them tame magic and then grant it to them.
Therefore, once they abandon their faith, or simply lose their gods, the priests will be the most affected.
Unless they find a new god immediately and the other party is willing to grant them power, they will become herbalists from spellcasters like the priests on Paradise Island.
Professions such as shamans and druids may also use other channels, such as the earth or the forest itself, but similarly, their spellcasting also needs to go through the magic network.
Every time these professions cast a spell, the Goddess of Magic will benefit from it, and she has therefore become recognized as one of the most powerful gods.
In the past, countless gods and mortals had coveted the Demon Net, but up to now, only one person, the goddess of darkness - Shar, had been able to successfully implement the plan and enjoy the fruits of victory.
She created a Shadow Weave that depended on the Magic Weave, but it only brought benefits to herself, not the Goddess of Magic.
But the coverage of the magic network is limited. Although this is the secret of the magic goddess, outsiders do not know how wide the coverage of the magic network is.
But what is certain is that, apart from the main world and some small planes that depend on the main world, many other areas, such as the Kingdom of the Gods, Mount Heaven, Paradise, and even the Abyss and the Nine Hells, are usually difficult for the magic network to cover.
For an ordinary mage, this may not matter much, but as his strength increases, Levi will probably have to frequently travel to areas outside the main world, which will have a greater impact.
If he went to the Abyss but couldn't cast spells, he would be a pure burden.
Therefore, after reaching the legendary level, most powerful wizards will begin to study how to bypass the magic network and truly cast spells with their own strength.
The information he got from Lord Huahua now made Levi feel that it was even more necessary for him to establish a good relationship with the other party.
Apart from anything else, if I could borrow the giant spiritual vein net a few times, would I also be able to learn to bypass the magic net and cast spells?
However, this knowledge concerning the nature of magic was still too profound for him, who was not even at the level of a legend. It could not be explained clearly in a few words, so Levi did not rush to ask and just skimmed the surface.
Then he picked out some things that Lord Huahua was interested in and told him about them.
Correspondingly, Lord Huahua was also very satisfied with his gains, which was what Levi described, about the world outside Lustria.
It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but apart from the two cities named after fog where he was stationed successively, the farthest place he had ever been to was Mazda's City of the Sun. In fact, his life over the past thousands of years has been very monotonous and boring.
Only recently, with the activities of many evil races, has his life become a little more colorful, but unfortunately this is not what he expected.
Therefore, he really yearned for the outside world life described by Levi.
Of course, in this process, Levi also subtly mentioned some of the importance the three major celestial clans attached to him, as well as his own frequent experiences in fighting against demons.
His personal fighting ability should not be able to match that of the opponent, so naturally he can only show his backstage.
The effect was also very obvious. The more Lord Huahua looked at Levi, the more he liked him. Even without Levi mentioning it, he took the initiative to invite Levi to try their giant spiritual vein network.
Although it has been severely damaged, the Great Spiritual Network is now unable to block the invasion of Lustria by demons and other alien evils, but it still retains a lot of power.
Then, as they talked, they talked about Bilak and Albion Island.
Lord Huahua, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly became serious: "I see, I understand the series of changes that have happened in Lustria recently. Bilak is definitely one of the people behind it. Lustria's spiritual vein network has been affected, and the same may be true for Albion Island."
Levi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Obian Island is also a place of refuge for the ancient saints?"
For a long time, the isolated island of Obion was too barren and fierce, with constant storms every day. The residents on the island were too barbaric and had no interest in believing in the gods, so they were quickly abandoned by the gods.
In the eyes of the outside world, they seem to be pitifully weak and are often robbed by the passing Norsemen.
Since Levi had rescued some natives of Orbian Island from the dark elves and had heard a lot about Orbian Island, he knew that this was not the case.
But despite this, he had never thought that it was actually related to the ancient saints.
No wonder the natives of Orbion Island behaved like that. The ancient saints they believed in might have issued some orders in advance, asking them not to show their faith but to keep a low profile, just like the Lizard People.
Lord Huahua nodded vigorously: "Yes, the giant stone circle on the island isolates the demonic power, and plays a similar role to the giant spiritual network. Later, it was used by the four gods of chaos to seal Bilak's body."
"Now that the spiritual network has collapsed, Stonehenge is probably in danger. The power of the Raven Queen, Morrigan, and the Truthsayers is not enough to fight against Be'lakor."
Although the Raven Queen is powerful , Bilak was once a god-level being.
Levi was not completely unfamiliar with this name. The Crow Queen and the Psychic Queen were her two titles. Even the natives of Albion believed that she was the incarnation of the goddess of death and war.
It was because of hearing this that he had originally made plans to go to Albian Island.
It's just because the distance is far and he's been busy recently, so Levi hasn't been able to spare the time. Now it seems that he really needs to speed up.
Looking at Levi with a serious expression, Lord Huahua's heart moved, but then he immediately denied his idea.
Now, no matter whether it is Lustria or the City of Mist, they can't do without me...
After a slight hesitation, Lord Huahua finally did not speak. In fact, he really wanted to go to Albian Island in person to find out what was going on.
Based on the relationship between the two, he couldn't help but take it to heart, but Lustria was in this situation now and he couldn't be distracted at all.
Looking at Lord Huahua who suddenly became silent, Levi thought that the other party might have reached an important moment, so he kept silent for the time being.
After thinking it over, Lord Huahua made up his mind: "Levi, I want to sign a defense alliance with Fear Rock on my behalf, the City of Mist, and the other side. What do you think? The City of Mist, which I was originally responsible for, should not have any problems either."
"In addition, I am also very interested in your constructs. They will undoubtedly enhance the power of the current Misty City."
There was no reason for Levi to refuse. He had been busy for so long just for this!
Since both parties were straightforward, it didn't take much time to confirm this matter. However, based on the current predicament of the City of Mist, Lord Huahua said that he couldn't produce many dinosaurs and could only use gold for the transaction for the time being.
While speaking, Lord Huahua also seemed to be feeling very sorry, because if only gold was used, the strength of their City of Mist could not be seen.
Levi did not have any complaints. In the hands of the Lizardmen, gold could only be used to make magical tools, but in the society of humans and elves, it could be used to do so many things.
At this moment, Mortiti approached on a giant stag. Even though her face looked normal, Levi immediately realized that she must have something very important to communicate with him, otherwise she would not have disturbed him in this situation.
But before Levi could find an excuse, Lord Huahua suddenly widened his eyes and looked towards the southwest: "Ancient Saints and Stars, what happened there?"
Levi also looked over immediately, but he couldn't see anything. Then he noticed that Mortiti was winking at him and making gestures.
Based on the tacit understanding they had always had, Levi immediately understood that the special power that Mortiti felt in that direction was closely related to the divinity she obtained from the Phantom Goddess - Leila!
Levi immediately became alert. When Leila was attacked, part of her priesthood and godhood were taken away by the two evil gods, Xirik and Mask. She escaped with part of it, but the rest was scattered throughout the world and no one knew of its existence.
Now it seems that part of it has fallen here?
Was Lord Huahua's strange behavior related to this? After all, he was a legendary magic toad that was proficient in the power of phantoms and shadows, so it was completely understandable that he could sense divinity.
Soon, Lord Huahua shouted a little hurriedly: "Levi, I originally wanted to take you to the City of Mist to rest first, and then deal with this matter."
"But now we can't delay any longer. It seems that a demon has been contaminated by the power of God. We absolutely cannot sit idly by!"
Levi didn't expect that Lord Huahua would say it directly, but after thinking about it, he roughly understood what the other party meant.
He immediately chuckled and said, "Yes, the power of God should not be blasphemed by them."
Lord Huahua continued, "If we can really gain something, I think it should be handed over to a kind elf like you, Levi, to take charge."
Levi also said: "If I had the power of God, I would be able to appease those violent dinosaurs better, right?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was said without words. This was a win-win situation for both sides.
But Levi was still a little confused. Why did he feel that Lord Huahua seemed to have no interest in the power of God at all?
Divinity brings longevity and great power, which are things that mortals possess...Oh, it seems that the magic toads don't lack these two things either, so that's fine.
