Sighing heavily again, the old witch lowered her head deeply, and even her whole body seemed a little stooped. If a large part of her was acting before, now this is her true performance.
Because she knows too well that no matter whether her true identity is discovered by any elf, the fate waiting for her and this bee tribe will be almost exactly the same!
All types of elves will only wave their swords at each other when they see drow. Although there is a legendary drow ranger in the legend who has conquered many races including humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, etc.
friendship, but that is just a legend after all.
"Lord Levi, I don't know what kind of request you have. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the bee tribe, I will try my best to agree to it."
Only then did Li Wei really smile. Well, wouldn't it be better if he had this attitude earlier?
You old witch is really long-haired and short-sighted. If you had been so sincere, let alone a mixed-blood, even if you were a pure-blood drow, I would not have targeted you like that. I would blame you for being smart.
But you guys really don’t leave the bee tribe. Really, it’s so obvious. Are you afraid that other bee tribes won’t notice?
Levi glanced around again, and finally his eyes rested on the little queen Janet: "Don't you know Janet's camp and strength?"
The old witch's expression changed, and she instantly understood part of Levi's meaning, but her mind flashed several times, and she finally sighed secretly.
Now that things have developed to this point, perhaps this is also a good solution. After all, with the wisdom and strength that Janet currently displays, she is actually not suitable to be a real queen.
But if you can successfully acquire that flower field, with its rich resources, you can hatch more eggs in a short period of time, and then carefully select and cultivate more outstanding little queens.
But despite this, she still had a sad face and said a little dryly: "Although the bees in our tribe are all dark-type, they have always strictly maintained the lawful neutral camp, which has also led to us being ostracized in the dark area.
."
"As for Janet, because she was born a short time ago and is not even a minor yet, she is only a level 2 elite now, but she is one of the little queens of the bee tribe and her future is limitless."
"Haha, okay, in that case, my request is that she brings some of the bees to join me and fight for me. I will continue to recruit bees with money or materials in the future. In addition, I can also spend resources.
Buy some bee-man or giant wasp eggs."
"Well, besides the flower fields, there are also God-given buildings that can be used to recruit fallen tree people. I left them all to you, how about it?"
The beast tamer only has two big geese at his disposal now, but his future is obviously more than that. Whether his strength is improved and he can command more beasts, or the war geese are successfully trained into royal war geese, he will
Need some replacements.
Although the ordinary giant bee is only level 0, it is still a flying unit after all, and the level 0 unit can be cultivated very quickly, or it doesn't matter if it dies in the process.
The only slight flaw is that unlike humans, the advancement routes for many animal types are very single, with only one type, and the improvement rate is often too high. Even the names may not change, but it doesn't matter.
Already.
Little Queen Janet was a little confused at first and didn't know what the two of them were talking about. But as soon as Li Wei said these words, her face instantly turned pale and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But before she could speak, she saw Greta's mother, whom she had always trusted, looking at her with affection and reluctance: "Janet, for the sake of the continuation of the tribe and race, are you willing to follow Lord Levi?"
?”
Then she added: "Don't worry, if you don't agree, I will never force you. We will find other feasible ways!"
But when it comes to this, how can Janet refuse?
She was surprised and even frightened for a while, but after taking a few deep breaths, she gradually calmed down.
She glanced at the witch in front of her with a somewhat inexplicable expression, and then at her fellow tribesmen who were silent. Finally, she nodded slowly but firmly: "For the continuation of the tribe and race, Mother Greta, I am willing."
Her voice was firm and calm, and she seemed to have suddenly matured a lot, as if she was not the one being used as a bargaining chip now.
Looking at the other party like this, the old witch suddenly felt a trace of regret. Perhaps, Janet still had a glimmer of potential to become a real queen?
But before she could react, Levi, who also saw some signs, laughed out loud. He waved and took out some gold coins, and motioned Sam to send them to the other party: "Okay, in this case, the deal is done, Janet
, I allow you to select some of the bees on your own to serve as your bodyguards in the future!"
"Witch Greta, after the deal is concluded, you can take the bees to occupy the forest and flower fields as soon as possible to avoid other accidents."
He seemed to know what the other party's expression was when he saw the mess of the God-given building. Although the two sides were about to reach a deal now, and it seemed that the atmosphere was not as stiff as before, Levi still held grudges!
The old witch who originally wanted to say something else, after listening to Li Wei's words, could only sigh again: "Yes, thank you very much, Master Li Wei."
Then she pretended to wipe her eyes: "Janet, don't worry, even if you choose to follow the promising God's Chosen Hero, the Hive will always be your home, and if you become stronger in the future, you can also attack the Hive.
Take care of it."
Even though she suddenly grew up a lot, after hearing these words, little queen Janet couldn't help but have some red eyes, but she didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, and then looked at Sam.
The amount of money given to the old witch was silently chosen by her bodyguards.
Levi was very interested in watching this scene. Even at this point, it was clear that the little queen Janet was betrayed by the old witch, but she was still manipulated by the other party, and the old witch did not do anything about it.
Absolutely, it seems that everything she does is for the sake of the bee tribe.
Although on the surface, no matter how you look at it, she does do this, but Li Wei has always had a deep doubt. She is a mixed-blood drow elf and a witch with magical power.
What is the point of putting so much effort into cultivating a bee tribe?
If it weren't for several inquiries, the previous bee people said that their entire tribe collected honey every day and had no chance or channel to communicate with the outside world. Li Wei would have even doubted whether this old witch would communicate with the black dragon behind the kobold.
There is a connection.
However, this speculation cannot be completely denied now, because he has not yet fully understood the other party's true intentions.
But no matter what, now that little queen Janet has become his subordinate, this mission is really rewarding.
Now he already knows that such a natural elite unit is much stronger than ordinary units in terms of potential and intelligence, not to mention that the opponent is a rare flying unit.
2: Swarm Disturbance, active skill, consumes 10 points of magic, releases a swarm of bees simulated with magic power, causing 6-12 points of damage to enemies in a small range, and slightly reducing their hit rate, lasting for 10 seconds;
3: Tree skin technique;
4: Treat minor injuries, active skill, consume 3 points of magic, heal 6-8 points of damage;
5: Soothe animals, active skill. You can try to soothe an animal within 10 meters of you and calm it down. The success rate is based on your own level and charm, as well as the other party's intelligence and overall strength.
If the opponent is a ferocious animal or is currently in combat, the success rate will be greatly reduced. If the opponent is controlled by a druid, ranger, etc., or is a mage's familiar, this skill will not take effect.
If the opponent is a tamed animal such as a hound, or an animal in a special state such as coma or helplessness, the success rate will be greatly increased.
Note: If you successfully appease the opponent and the opponent is attacked by any means, this effect will be automatically lifted. If the opponent is attacked by you, there is a chance that the opponent will enter a state of hatred and regard you as the first priority attack target.
6: Elite, two random attributes +1, currently intelligence, physique, and additional health bonus (related to own profession, physique, class), the current bonus is 12 (2X6X1).
talent:
1: low-altitude flight;
2: Lower weight;
3: Little Queen (incomplete), passive skill. As the little queen of the bee tribe, her potential is higher than that of ordinary bees, and she can command the bees within a certain range through her mind without any movement or language.
People take action, and when she goes to war, the bees will be inspired.
Based on the current strength, the range is a circular area with a radius of 20 meters centered on her, and the bonus effects are strength +1 and agility +1;
(Since Janet has not officially reached adulthood, this skill has been partially weakened)
4: Four arms, she has four healthy arms. After professional training, she has the possibility to use multiple weapons at the same time.
Maintenance cost: 3 units of any type of nectar (weekly)
Consumption of leadership: 3.
(As a little queen, she has the qualifications to become the true leader of the bee tribe, provided that she is of age and strong enough)
As a level 2 elite unit, she also has a lot of skills, almost comparable to the big loli Cindy, but Cindy is more aggressive, while Janet is more supportive.
And although she didn't have any weapons in her hands, her two pieces of equipment were quite good, especially the ugly-looking big mushroom cap, which directly increased her health by 30 points, and even Li Wei was a little tempted.
However, when he saw that her maintenance fee was not money, but nectar, Levi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
You must know that as your subordinates, daily supplies are necessary and will not be displayed on their attribute panels. The maintenance costs are actually their own wages.
But now Janet only wants nectar for no money, so what is she going to do with it? It’s probably going to be reserved for her bee tribe!
Even though she has sold herself to herself, it is indeed very rare for her to still have such a sense of responsibility. Following that old witch with a bad conscience is really a waste.
But the four-arm skill actually specifically states that she has healthy arms. Does that also mean that the arms of other ordinary bees are not very healthy, so they can only use one weapon?
While sighing, Janet had successfully selected 5 level 2 drones and 10 level 1 ordinary bee soldiers. As for the special bee soldiers who were obviously stronger and smaller in number, she
I didn't bring any with me.
It was obvious that even though she had followed Li Wei resignedly, in her heart, the safety of the bee tribe was more important, so she wanted to keep them and continue to guard the bee tribe.
Of course, in terms of experience points, these bees also have extremely rich combat experience. Even one of the drones has an experience point of over 70%. Roughly speaking, his subordinates have at least
He has to be stained with the blood of dozens of enemies. With a little training, he will soon be able to advance.
Then the old witch took out some more eggs and asked Li Wei to choose. However, there were only level 0 giant bees and artificial bees in them. They still needed to be cultivated slowly by Li Wei, and there was also a special egg that could cultivate a little queen.
No.
Levi was a little unsatisfied, and he didn't have Janet's scruples in this regard. Anyway, with this old witch here, the hive's shortcomings in guarding would not be a big problem.
So he asked directly: "I don't know about those special bees."
The old witch glanced at the little witch Janet, and saw that she was just quietly standing behind Levi with 15 bee-men. Not only did she not say a word, but she also had no expression on her face. She felt regretful in her heart again.
mood.
But now that the matter has reached this point, it is useless for her to say anything, so she just coughed: "They are the elite warriors of the tribe, the third-level bee soldiers, generally the most loyal guards of the queen, and their number
They are extremely rare, so if you, Master Levi, want to recruit them, it will not just be a matter of money."
Li Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this. After saying so much, he didn't mean to raise the price. Otherwise, why didn't you simply refuse?
"Well, even so, I also want to recruit them, not for myself, but for Janet's safety."
Janet behind her looked slightly moved when she heard this, but said nothing. However, in just a few minutes, she seemed to have grown up a lot.
After thinking for a moment, Levi simply took out the rotten tree heart dropped by the fallen tree men before.
Although it was unclear for a while what kind of magic this old witch knew, this thing can be regarded as an alchemy and magic material, so it should be somewhat attractive to her, right?
As expected, when she saw this material, the old witch was obviously a little moved. Before Li Wei could speak, she said directly: "In that case, add 2 silver coins to each rotten tree heart and exchange it for a third-level soldier bee!
"
Good guy, it seems like these rotten tree hearts are quite valuable? I’m afraid it’s around 1 gold coin, right?
And even so, considering the character of this old witch, she can definitely still make a lot of money.
But because of the serious asymmetry of information, Li Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party. Anyway, he kept it with the intention of selling it for money.
"Okay, deal!"
So there were three more third-level bee soldiers behind him. Unfortunately, he had no other precious magic materials on hand, so the old witch refused to provide him with more, saying that he also needed the soldiers.
Guard the hive.
But Li Wei had already seen through the other party. To put it bluntly, it was not enough to just give money, but also to ask for precious magic materials? So he didn't insist anymore. The worst thing was that he would come back after being prepared.
Compared with level 2 drones, the soldier bees have not improved much in terms of attributes. Although in terms of experience points, they all have some combat experience, but Li Wei feels that if they fight one on one, they should still be
If he can't beat Zhou Miyin, he can greatly restrain the opponent with a single countercharge.
However, this does not affect their value, because they also have an additional active skill called Guard, which increases the defense of a designated target within 10 meters by +2 at the cost of temporarily reducing their own agility by 1 point.
Although the effect is not high, the key is that this skill has no other consumption at all, which means that as long as he is willing, they can keep using this skill 24 hours a day, which is a bit powerful.
Needless to say, Levi directly assigned these three soldiers to Little Queen Janet, Big Lolita Cindy, and himself. Although Zhou Miyin and Sam also needed them, they could only wait until next time.
Already.
After doing all this, the old witch gave the little queen Janet a few words, asking her to follow Levi and strive to become stronger, so that she could hopefully help the hive in the future, and then she couldn't wait to see off the guests.
Levi knew that the other party must want to take the bees to occupy the flower field in the woods. Originally, he wanted to ask the other party about the black dragon in the dark area, but now he felt that the time was not right.
.
Not only because the other party will be very busy and may not have the time to chat with me, but also because with this transaction, the other party must have a thorn in his heart, and what he says may not be very credible.
However, he still casually asked the other party how much information he knew about the twisted tree spirit Maokai. Even if he did not necessarily have to confront the other party, it was always right to learn more about the relevant information.
However, the old witch said with regret that she did not know the other party's situation.
Li Wei wanted to scold the other party at that time, don't you know? Your expression just now was not like this. When things get tough, do you still want to be clever?
Looking at Levi's expression, the old witch seemed to feel something was wrong. She immediately explained that she was really not lying. After all, there was no such thing as a tree man in the Underdark. She just thought the name sounded very powerful.
The other party's expression was so sincere that Levi couldn't question it for a while. After all, her words did sound reasonable.
But he knew in his heart that even if he didn't get any results today, if the monk could escape, he couldn't escape from the temple, and it wasn't like he wouldn't come looking for her again in the future.
So he didn't bother anymore. There was still a lot of time left today, so he might as well continue his crusade against the gnolls.
Not far away, Levi discovered that the little queen Janet, who had been silent all this time, turned back to look at the hive almost every step of the way. It was obvious that she really couldn't let go of her tribe.
Even though Cindy sympathized with her plight and frequently showed her kindness, she hardly responded.
Li Wei took a look, this is not possible, how can you work for me in this state? It is not just the attribute panel that affects combat efficiency, but the mentality is also very important.
"Janet, do you know why you ended up where you are now?"
The little queen who was originally expressionless subconsciously wanted to speak. Isn't it because of you that I am in this situation?
However, remembering the previous instructions from the witch Greta, she took back these words and shook her head slightly sadly: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know."
"Because you are too weak!" Levi said unceremoniously.
Janet's eyes suddenly widened: "Wha, what?"
"That's right, if you are strong enough to kill all those trees on your own, nothing will happen to me. Even if you are stronger than that old witch, you won't have such an encounter."
"In fact, I have been curious, why do you, a bee tribe, obey the orders of a hybrid drow? Even the queen has to obey?"
Janet blurted out immediately: "That's because Witch Greta has been helping us and even helped us escape from the Underdark."
"Is she really just helping you? Doesn't she want to escape even though she is a hybrid? And your entire bee tribe is under her control, but how much do you know about her?"
"For example, the origin of the other half of her bloodline, or what kind of magic does she possess?"
Although there may not be the danger of a head-on conflict, Levi felt that it would still be of great use if he could understand the opponent's strength in advance, but at the same time, he also understood that looking at Janet's silly appearance, she probably didn't know much.
Useful information.
As expected, Janet couldn't help but be speechless for a moment, because she really didn't know that even in the process of escaping from the Underdark, Greta Witch only made suggestions and directed them to fight, rather than leading the way. Almost no bee people had seen her.
Take action and fight.
Looking at Janet's expression, Levi knew that his guess was right. This girl really didn't know anything. To a certain extent, she was even much more innocent than Cindy, the big lolita.
But speaking of it, I don’t know whether the growth and development rules of bees and humans are the same. Do bees also reach adulthood at the age of 16?
Looking at the big loli next to him again, Levi said in a solemn tone: "Janet, you were unable to make changes in the past, but now, you have a brand new opportunity."
"Follow me as the chosen hero. You will gain experience in fighting countless powerful enemies. You will eventually become more powerful than Greta Witch. You will have the opportunity to change your entire tribe. Are you willing to seize it?
?”
At this moment, Janet felt that her soul was strongly touched. At the same time, she also noticed the hopeful and encouraging eyes of the human girl next to her, who seemed to be named Cindy.
Finally, she took a deep breath: "Yes, Lord Levi, Janet is willing to seize this opportunity, and Janet is willing to be loyal to Lord!"
