After bidding farewell to Three Hands with a smile, Levi casually learned the spirit sword technique and handed the animal shrinking technique to Donna. Looking at her who was obviously eager to try, he immediately understood what she was thinking.
"Donna, do you want to see that shadow claw?"
Donna hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head decisively: "That guy looks very cunning. You can't believe everything he says. Shadow Claw may not be that easy to deal with."
"And the darkness is very beneficial to the undead. If an enemy like a high-level vampire appears, as the light caster said, it will be quite dangerous for you."
She could see clearly that even though Levi's level and equipment were gradually rising, low-level mage was still very vulnerable without magic protection. If there was really a level 3 or 4 vampire attacking him.
A surprise attack can kill him with just a few claws.
Levi shrugged, not feeling embarrassed at all. In fact, he thought so too. The fragility of low-level mages was well known, and this was not his own problem.
Unfortunately, I have contacted many aboriginal people, including the village chief, in the past few days, but there is no news about my advancement and talent. They all said that there is no such strong person in the novice village, and I am afraid that I need to go to the town.
Otherwise, if one could possess the common talent of the high elf race - martial arts, this would change this situation to a great extent.
After all, in the early stages, especially for mages, 6 points of defense is still very good, and a green robe only has a few points.
After giving Donna a portion of money and asking her to take her subordinates to rest first, and indicating to her to meet at the tavern later, Levi took Cindy, Zhou Miyin and others to hand in several tasks.
Since the opening of regional missions, the number of missions targeting jackals in surrounding villages has also increased rapidly. Although mission rewards are mostly basic equipment, money, experience points, reputation, etc., they are not at the same level as the things that can be exchanged for military merit points.
, but it’s just a incidental thing anyway, just for making extra money.
Then he discovered that after such a long period of hard work, he finally brushed Maple Leaf Village's reputation level to respect.
"Your reputation level in Maple Leaf Village has been raised to respect. From now on, you will enjoy the following rights in Maple Leaf Village:
You have the priority to receive tasks and take the initiative to meet with the village chief;
You will enjoy a 5% discount when purchasing supplies, conducting consumer activities, etc. in taverns and various stores;
When you purchase a permanent property, you will enjoy a 10% discount, and the village will recruit a housekeeper and a maid from the village for you (salary and daily expenses will still be provided by you);
When you conduct recruitment activities at the military camp, you will enjoy a 5% discount, and you can recruit a limited number of Maple Leaf Village's unique troops. Currently, it is a Tier 2 troop - Old Hunter, with a limit of 5/5 per week.
(The above discounts cannot be combined with each other)”
This series of information really allowed Levi to expand a lot of ideas. The 5% shopping discount may seem inconspicuous, but if you add up to it, you can still save a lot of money in the long run.
And if he has enough energy, he can use this 5% discount to resell to other God-chosen heroes. As long as the quantity is large enough and the total price is high enough, he can still make a lot of difference.
At the same time, the right to purchase real estate was also very good. At the beginning, he naively thought that apart from daily supplies and wages usually every seven days, the subordinates he recruited would have no other major expenses.
Even some evil players may send their subordinates to die on the sixth day, so naturally they don't have to pay wages.
But after these days of experience, he discovered that the truth was far more than that.
In addition to herbs, bandages and other supplies, and the upgrading of weapons and equipment, there is another very important item, which is the daily cost of sleeping outdoors.
It used to be fine when there were only a few people, but now there are dozens of people in the team, plus the flaming war geese and two ordinary war geese.
And ordinary soldiers can be placed in military camps specially prepared by the village for rent, but you can't let girls like Donna and Cindy sleep in that kind of place, right? Of course they have to be arranged in a tavern with a better environment.
.
Therefore, the daily cost cannot be ignored, and as the size of the team continues to expand, the cost in this area will increase.
But now there is a new solution, which is to buy your own property, so you don't have to spend money on accommodation.
I just don’t know how big the area of this kind of property is and whether it can accommodate dozens of people.
However, Li Wei did not take action for the time being, but instead recruited the five old hunters first.
They are both level 2 marksmen. Their attributes are similar to those of half-elves, but their skills are slightly different. They have the skills of walking through the forest and hunting beasts. As the name suggests, they slightly increase the speed of movement in forest terrain and increase the resistance to wild beasts.
The damage done to enemies is pretty good.
Levi planned to throw them all directly to Donna. Although she had said before that she wanted to command a single race and have an army, he had already seen that she would never refuse such a small thing.
Then he bought a book of basic riding skills with a familiar God-chosen hero and planned to give it to Simon. He also bought a book of archery skills to give to Janet. Then he rushed to the quartermaster's office.
Since the opening of regional missions in the Stoney Highlands, quartermasters in Maple Leaf Village have also officially appeared, and there are more than one. They are in charge of different categories. Like the quartermaster in front of Li Wei, he is in charge of various war machines. He previously
I have consulted the other party for relevant information.
As soon as he saw him, the quartermaster immediately smiled and even took two steps forward to greet him: "It turns out that Mr. Li Wei is here. I wonder what you are interested in?"
Levi clearly felt that the other party's attitude had changed significantly. Even though he was the God's Chosen Hero, before that, the other party's attitude was not so friendly. After all, there were quite a few God's Chosen Heroes in the village.
He knew in his heart that this must be related to his reputation level being raised to respect. Although the system did not mention this, it did exist.
His eyes swept dozens of meters behind the opponent. Catapults, ammunition carts, cargo carriages, and troop carriers were all war equipment that could be purchased without military merit points and only with money.
Moreover, the offerings in each village are slightly different. For example, there are ballistas and medical tents in Green Blade Village, and several villages near the water also have sampans and small sailboats. It seems to encourage everyone to go fishing.
Although the effect of fighting people and the like is not good at all, it is at least better than swimming.
Unfortunately, I am still not rich on hand, and I still have to leave some emergency funds. Most of the war machines in front of me are just eye-catching.
"I want to improve my military rank first."
Although the regional missions in the Stoney Highlands are open to all lawful races, there are some things that are not open to outsiders and are only open to high elves, such as the high-level military job system.
Recruit-veteran-sergeant-sergeant-lieutenant-governor-general, this is the military position system of high elves that has been announced so far.
After spending twice the points, humans can only be promoted to sergeant at most, while half-elves need to spend 1.5 times the points to reach the highest level of sergeant.
As for the subsequent levels, you must be a pure-blooded high elf. Other alien races, such as dwarves, gnomes, halflings, etc., are completely out of the question, and they won't even give you a private.
In addition, high elves also have titles, but it is said that they must have their own territory, so no one knows much relevant information now.
After such strict restrictions are imposed, it must have its own special characteristics. In fact, other people did choose to upgrade their military ranks, and then they suddenly discovered that this military rank system is really powerful.
To a certain extent, it can be said to be similar to a special battle skill, because it can also comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the high elves and half-elves in the team. At the same time, in addition to attributes, skills and equipment, this is another
Ways to improve your leadership skills!
Recruit, life +5, magic +5, consume 100 military merit points.
Veteran, life +10, magic +10, leadership +10, consumes 200 military points.
Sergeant, life +15, magic +15, leadership +30, all high elves under his command +10 life, half-elves life +5, consumes 500 military points.
This is the first three levels of the military rank system that we know so far. Because only after you are promoted to sergeant, you can see the next sergeant bonus, so no one has figured it out yet.
After all, the military merit points required to become a sergeant are too many, and with the consumption of the first two levels, they can almost recruit 5th-level troops, and can even be exchanged for a hero recruitment order. No one is that rich at this stage.
But it is conceivable that the bonuses for high-level military positions will be higher. Even if there are bonuses for other skills, no one will be surprised. After all, the price is also high.
Despite this, Li Wei can also conclude that everyone will be keen on promoting military positions in the future.
Because attribute points are so precious, leadership is also scarce, and the effect of increasing the upper limit of life and magic is practical at all times, so if it is difficult to upgrade in the later stage, you will inevitably choose to upgrade in other directions.
And he can even conclude that even if this regional mission is over, there will definitely be more ways to obtain military merit in the future, and there will even be a high chance that it will be related to killing the chosen heroes of the enemy camp!
However, although he was very curious and excited, Levi didn't plan to spend too much for the time being. He only upgraded it to the second level of veteran. These points could be earned by killing seven or eight small patrols of jackals.
, the overall impact is not significant.
As he officially became a veteran, the attribute bonuses were immediately displayed, and a system prompt popped up at the same time.
"You have successfully joined the military system of the High Elf-Kingdom of Caledor. From now on, after you leave the game, you can choose to host your character and join any army under the Kingdom of Caledor, including but not limited to
Town garrisons, guards and patrols, etc.”
"When encountering an enemy, the managed character will fight according to your usual habits, but will not use any non-renewable one-time consumables unless authorized by you (you can authorize each one-time consumable separately)
.”
"After winning the battle, you will normally receive trophies including experience points, money, equipment, etc., and in addition to the basic military merit points, you may also receive certain additional military merit points as a reward."
"If you die unexpectedly during the custody period, you will lose 10% of the experience points of your current level and enter a level 0 soul weakness state, that is, all attributes will be temporarily reduced by 10% for 2 hours."
"In any case, your character will enter the place you designated in advance to rest after 12 midnight, and this hosting status will end."
"You can unlock more features by continuing to upgrade your military rank."
Li Wei glanced at it and simply ignored it. He didn't trust his character to go out and wander around. Although it was not as weak as the level 1 soul weakness, it was also very hurtful to lose 10% of the experience points after dying.
And he even suspected that with his current popularity in the neighborhood and on the forum, once he found out that his character was being hosted, he might be jealous of his own guy and leak the information to the chosen hero of the enemy race, or simply go into battle himself.
?
Don’t doubt that human beings’ evil nature is always more serious than you think.
What this thing is really suitable for is the kind of guy who has just upgraded, is broke, and is not afraid of death at all.
Anyway, if you die, your death will be in vain, the experience value will not drop below 0%, but if you don't die, you will just get some loot, which is pure profit!
On the other hand, you can look forward to the other functions that will be unlocked after you continue to upgrade your military rank.
"Another light ammunition truck."
He had already planned that the Flame War Goose would be responsible for pulling the cart, and the animal trainer would act as the driver. If there was an emergency, he would first let Donna cast an animal shrinking spell on the Flame War Goose, and then he would give it a foot rub.
Oil, the speed of the flaming war goose pulling the cart, I am afraid no one in the entire team can match it, it is simply perfect.
"Okay, the original price is 10 gold coins. Since your reputation in this village has reached respect, sir, you will enjoy a 5% discount. The current price is 9.5 gold coins."
"no problem!"
Light ammunition cart (war machine): attack power 0, defense power 5, health 250, loaded arrows 0/20000, moving speed depends on the puller.
Li Wei happily paid the money and decided to fill it up immediately, and then asked Zhou Miyin to pull it to the place where his men rested.
Before leaving, Li Wei knew that Zhou Miyin must have something to say when he saw Zhou Miyin's hesitant look.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "What's wrong, I don't plan to let you pull the cart all the time. You don't have to worry about this, and your horse will be there soon."
Although the price of even the lowest-level young horse is not cheap, they have caught several mounted wolves, which are still worth it, and they can even make some profit. After all, mounted wolves are even rarer in comparison.
.
Zhou Miyin scratched the back of his head: "Sir, I'm not worried about this. If you let me pull the cart, there must be a reason." "I was just thinking that if you need to recruit subordinates in the future, maybe I can
Recommend it to my compatriots."
Li Wei became a little interested when he heard this: "Oh? What is their strength?"
According to what he knows so far, the arms of the Cathay Empire, at least the primary arms, are somewhat similar to the high elves. They all put up a defensive formation after the war begins, first washing the ground from a distance, and waiting for the opponent to slowly run over.
, and then crashed to death one by one in front of the melee troops with extremely strong defense.
The difference is that the high elves have the blessing of martial arts, while the Cathay Empire relies on the combination of yin and yang skills.
The former has a relatively high bonus, but it requires the health value to be higher than 50% to take effect. The latter has a smaller bonus, but it is more applicable in the whole process. Each has its own pros and cons.
Moreover, most of the troops originating from the Cathay Dynasty have a natural peace effect and can coexist with non-evil lawful races without any morale penalties. This greatly facilitates the birth of hybrid troops.
There are now many divinely chosen heroes from there on the forum, showing off to everyone the many unique arms they have seen in a large town in Cathay.
There are shrimp soldiers, crab generals, clam girls in the water, monkey soldiers, tiger men, and bear generals on the mountains; there are crow men and crane men who can fly, and even monster-type ones include the famous black and white dumpling-the iron-eating beast-
panda.
Even if you go to the zoo in real life, you can only take a few glances from a distance. However, in the game, you not only have the opportunity to get close to it, but you may even use it as a mount in the future. How can you not let this happen?
Are people ecstatic?
However, the Cathay Kingdom is quite far away from here, separated by greenskins, ratmen, ogres, chaos dwarves, hobgoblins and many other evil alien races. Zhou Miyin is just a Cathay caravan that once fell here.
descendants, Li Wei did not have particularly high expectations for their strength.
Because Zhou Miyin also said before that they are now a small independent force, just building a fortress on a hill. If they only live on the surrounding barren land, how many powerful troops can they afford?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Miyin, who has always been shy and cautious, unexpectedly showed confidence this time: "Sir, please don't worry, although I have now advanced to a level 2 Yuyong Lancer, there are people in the village who are stronger than me.
There are at least hundreds of clan members!”
Stronger than him? Considering that most people born in the Cathay Dynasty are born with the hidden trait of humility, there are at least hundreds of second-level soldiers. This is indeed worth a look.
"Okay, in that case, just like Sam, write a letter back. Anyway, you have been with me for a few days, so you should know my character. I will never treat them badly!"
Do you have any suggestions about redeeming protagonist points?
