A few hundred meters after leaving the village, Donna seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief: "Hey, Levi, did you just find out?"
Levi glanced at the many Spartans headed by Leonidas in front: "You mean, something is wrong with the village and the villagers?"
"Well, I think this village may not have been born naturally, nor did it use the heart of the village, but because the god-given buildings slowly developed to the present. In addition to the arena, there must be other god-given buildings in the village, and there are also
There’s more than one.”
Donna said everything she had inferred in one breath.
Levi nodded slightly: "I have similar speculations, but no matter what, at least they are friendly to us."
Saying this, Levi also pointed at the sky.
It is said that except for a few evil gods who choose the bottomless abyss where there are many demons, most gods live in another world above the main world.
Because their power is too strong, every move they make may cause serious damage to the fragile main world, so they usually use the power of their own sects and believers to achieve certain goals in the main world.
It is actually very rare for the rifts in the abyss to be opened one after another and the gods to join the battle with their projections.
But Donna still frowned: "But most of the people we believe in on our paradise island are goddesses."
Her main belief is Diana, the god of bravery and fearlessness, followed by Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. She believes in relatively few other goddesses, and almost no male gods.
Levi shrugged: "Maybe it's because he sees that you also believe in his twin sister, Artemis, the goddess of hunting?"
He didn't have any psychological burden. The other party offered benefits so proactively, either because he took a fancy to Donna and his potential, or because he planned to bribe himself and others. Anyway, the benefits were already obtained.
Sun-Scorching Arrow is not only very powerful and highly growth-producing, but also consumes so little. It is undoubtedly the most cost-effective skill that he has seen and heard of so far.
With Donna's current strength, there is no problem in firing dozens of arrows in succession, and this special arrow can still produce good effects even when it encounters enemies with fire resistance like demons.
God's blessing.
Unfortunately, after the gladiatorial meeting, the stone statue quickly returned to the ground again, so Li Wei did not find a chance to observe it up close.
But despite this, he also had some guesses.
According to common sense, the statues of the gods must be placed as much as possible outside so that more people can see them so as to attract believers. However, although the arena has such benefits, they still hide them. It does not seem to be the case.
I don't want outsiders to see it, this is obviously very abnormal.
Therefore, Li Wei believes that Apollo and other gods' attempts to spread their faith may not be welcomed by the elves and gods. After all, strictly speaking, this place is still a colony of high elves.
That's why they ended up like this. Now that both sides have a step to go down, I guess even if the elves and gods knew about it, they would pretend they didn't see it, because the Spartans' territory is too small and it doesn't matter at all.
The other party's blessing to Donna just now may be because, on the one hand, Donna believes in the gods of the same faction as theirs, on the other hand, may it not be a way of wooing and testing herself, a high elf?
Of course, this is just his own speculation at the moment. Although he is very unknown, he is still a god and will not be reduced to the point of flattering himself. Maybe they just like Donna?
Although she was still a little confused, Donna relaxed her brows: "Okay, that's it anyway. But Levi, after what happened today, I feel that I am strong enough to participate in the trial prepared by the goddess.
Yes, and I also have something to tell you."
"Oh? Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
So Levi soon learned that Donna had a very good best friend on Paradise Island, who was almost like a biological sister. She was a ranger who was good at bows and arrows and animal training, and the other party was a warrior who was good at battle axes and riding.
She is a hero, the opponent is a fighting hero, and their strengths are basically on the same level.
Originally, they had agreed to fight side by side from now on, sharing blessings and hardships. Unfortunately, there was a hunting competition held on Paradise Island, and something unexpected happened to the other party.
First, she unfortunately encountered a tyrannosaurus that she could not resist, and then when she was seriously injured, she was accidentally killed by a fellow member of her race who mistook her for a ferocious beast.
Fortunately, she had some knowledge at that time and had been blessed by the goddess, so even though her body died, she was able to keep her soul. In addition, Donna learned in a subsequent goddess trial that as long as she obtained the hero's spirit and completed another task
After the trial, she can resurrect her best friend.
Now that everything is ready, Donna feels that she is strong enough and can try the trial.
And if she can succeed by chance, there is a high chance that she can bring her best friends over and work for Li Wei together. From childhood to adulthood, they have shared everything together and faced it together. In her words, her sisters
You will definitely be able to hear it.
Of course, Li Wei expressed strong support for this. Although he now has a large number and variety of subordinates, except for Donna, there is no second one who can really shoulder the heavy responsibility.
The existence of Donna is of absolute significance to the archer unit. Without her, the combat effectiveness of the archers will be completely different, but there is no such existence among the soldiers. Without anyone, it will not have much impact.
If her best friend is really as strong as she says, even if she is a combat hero who cannot increase her troops, it will definitely be of great significance.
However, for some reason, after listening to her narrative, he always felt that there was a conspiracy in it.
How did the Tyrannosaurus rex happen to be bumped into by her best friend, and how did it happen that when it was seriously injured, it was bumped into by a member of its own race and killed by mistake as a ferocious beast?
Is this planned in advance?!
So he thought about it and said, "Donna, does your companion usually receive a lot of envy and jealousy in the clan?"
Donna blurted out subconsciously: "Of course, she is beautiful and has a good figure. Although she has a bad temper,"
But soon she realized what Levi really wanted to say, and her expression changed instantly: "You mean, it was more than just an accident?"
If she had been staying on the paradise island, she would not have thought so much after hearing Levi's words. And even if she had really thought of it, she would have only thought that he was trying to sow discord between her sisters.
feelings.
But since following Li Wei, although the time was less than one percent of the time she spent on Paradise Island, she had learned quite a lot.
She had never thought about it in this direction before, but now that Li Wei reminded her, she immediately felt that there was something wrong with the original accident.
Levi shrugged: "This is just my guess, so did the original murderer receive any punishment in the end?"
It's okay that he didn't ask. After asking, Donna's face became even more uncomfortable: "Because there will inevitably be casualties during the competition, and an elder excused her, so she was not punished in the end, and she won the championship in that competition."
A worthy ranking."
Li Wei blinked: "I guess, that elder also has a blood relationship or master-disciple relationship with her?"
It seems like he hasn't asked yet how the all-female Amazons give birth to their offspring. Are they all recruited from God-given buildings?
Donna took a deep breath: "The gods gave us a special magic instrument, so we Amazons can give birth to offspring without men, and all offspring will only be female. She was born to that elder.
Blood relative, or daughter."
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, so this is to some extent magical insemination?
And since they are mother and daughter, it is natural for them to have such obvious favoritism.
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Although her soul was greatly shocked for a moment, Donna still managed to remain calm: "I will save her first, and then try to find out the truth about that year, and then no matter what she does, I will stand by her side.
"
Then she looked at Levi with hopeful eyes.
Levi chuckled: "Of course, I will stand by your side."
All along, he only wanted to become stronger and explore more unknown worlds. It wasn't until he saw the devil's flying castle a few days ago that he initially determined a larger goal, which was to obtain his own flying castle.
.
Now it would be good if we could establish a second goal, and maybe the second goal would be easier to achieve. After all, the price of the flying castle is too high, and Amazon's Paradise Island is only separated by a sea.
At this time, Cindy, Janet and others next to them also spoke up, expressing their willingness to follow Levi and Donna to find out the truth.
Donna was naturally a little moved, but she was not in a hurry, because there were more things waiting for them to do, and with their current strength, not to mention whether they could discover the truth of the year, they might not even succeed
You can't even go to Paradise Island.
After all, there are not only various types and large numbers of monsters in the sea, but also navies and pirates from different races. At the beginning, her fleet encountered a group of undead pirates, and then the whole army was annihilated.
She was the only one who survived, and that army was stronger than Li Wei's current army.
After temporarily clarifying this information, they began to return officially, and then encountered several waves of demons on the way. Levi also took the opportunity to see the strength of the Spartans. In many cases, you can't just look at the superficial data, but also the actual situation.
Combat ability and combat intelligence.
After successfully solving the opponent, Levi's expression did not change much. The opponent's actual combat effectiveness was quite satisfactory, without any surprises, but it did not disappoint him either. However, when facing demons with common fire attacks, he was too brave.
Their chances of suffering casualties are far better than those of the Jade Halberdiers who are also at level 3.
Even when Cindy, Janet, and the bard used healing spells together, there would inevitably be battle dead.
Generally speaking, in Li Wei's view, they are not particularly outstanding units for the chosen heroes who pursue minimal casualties. They are more suitable for bullying rather than challenging powerful enemies. They can be used, but
At most, it's just a slight transition.
But if they are enemies, they will be particularly difficult to deal with.
But Levi quickly put this matter behind him, because these Spartans were just an unexpected harvest, and according to what Reiner, the previous captain of the Silver Helmet Knights, said, he would have the opportunity to recruit a real high elf army tomorrow.
.
He was more concerned about the movements of the demons.
Although the number of demons that came these few times was obviously not large, basically only fifty or sixty, but except for some of the first-order quasai demons who were the air force, there were almost no miscellaneous soldiers.
Level 2.
Although this is not a strong enemy for them, it is quite challenging for ordinary divinely chosen heroes at this stage. Even if they barely win, they will suffer heavy losses, and this seems to herald the second large-scale invasion of the demon army.
It's already close at hand.
So he rushed to Silent Manor as quickly as possible, hoping to borrow some money from the Sun Knight to prepare for the recruitment of a regular army of high elves tomorrow.
Sun Knight did not hesitate and directly met all his requests. At the same time, he also told him some good news. The matter of bone horses and corpse horses was almost settled.
As the strength of the God-chosen heroes continues to improve, the night is no longer as dangerous as before. The God-chosen heroes begin to use as much time as possible to explore wider areas, and even stay up late to march and fight.
Therefore, although this low-level undead creature is very afraid of sunlight, it can still be used, and many God-chosen heroes have expressed interest in it.
And no matter how bad it is, they can also customize some full-coverage vests for them to avoid the damage caused by the sun. However, in that case, their specialness will not be shown, so no one would want to unless necessary.
So do it.
At the same time, Lotus of the Red Brotherhood is also very interested in this, and is even willing to exchange live horses for bone horses. However, the two parties have not yet completely concluded a real contract because they are still discussing the specific exchange ratio.
Although in the eyes of Sun Knight, Lightcaster and others, the value of a bone horse is definitely not as valuable as a donkey, which is worth 1 gold coin, but things are rare and valuable. Apart from them, it is probably really difficult to find lotus flowers in other places.
A person who can provide a stable supply of bone horses and ensure that they will not take advantage of others.
After all, those who can make this thing are either vampires or necromancers, and each of their characters is worse than the last. There is almost no such thing as integrity or contract among them.
Similarly, since the last time they helped the demons, they all knew that Lotus must have a large number of horses and donkeys in her hands. She might even own a livestock farm herself, and her costs would definitely not be high.
So after weighing the situation back and forth, both of them want to maximize their own interests as much as possible, so it hasn't been decided yet. Anyway, they do have no shortage of sales for the time being, so they are not in such a hurry.
The second good news is that the bee tribe agreed to his suggestion. As long as they plant enough flower fields, the bee tribe will relocate their families. It seems that they indeed feel the strong threat posed by the demon army, so they
He will become so easy to talk to.
And he has officially started planting. In addition to recruiting a considerable number of professional farmers from the indigenous people, he also spent money to recruit a lot of druids and used some catalytic skills to complete the planting faster and more smoothly.
Then the Sun Knight also plans to send an army to protect them at that time, and hopes that Levi can also participate if he is free.
Mainly because the size of the hive is too large, and the scale of the bee tribe is also very large. There are now hundreds of large and small ones. He is worried that this will attract the attention of the demon army, and even other people with evil intentions.
God’s Chosen Heroes.
With the emergence of the demon army, many nearby races have been invaded, so the border is no longer as stable as before. Greenskins, Skaven and other evil alien races have begun to appear in the territory of the high elves.
Although with his banknote ability and the support of War Paradise, the strongest and only official guild in the area, he can speak well in several nearby villages, but for the God-chosen heroes of other races, his words are nothing.
Not much use anymore.
Levi would naturally not refuse. Whether it was for Janet's sake or his duties as vice-president, he had to participate in such an action.
The third good news is about the kobold camp. I don’t know what happened. In short, the demons seem to be very interested in it, and there will be several waves of attacks every day.
Although the number is small, the frequency is not low. In addition, many demon attacks contain the power of fire. Therefore, the defense of the kobold camp is undoubtedly much weaker than a few days ago. In addition to a large number of kobolds,
In addition to people dying in battle, there were also many Poison Dusk Lizardmen and even Dragonite warriors who suffered casualties.
If this situation continues to develop, the defense force of the kobold camp will become weaker and weaker. As long as the opportunity is right, these God-chosen heroes will definitely make a lot of money. He has even sent people to take turns to guard, waiting for the opportunity to appear.
.
Although Li Wei was also very interested in this, when he thought that the black dragon behind the other party had quietly developed an evil sect like the Snake Worship Cult, and no one seemed to know about it yet, he felt that something was wrong.
I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
Moreover, the dragon race was just opened two days ago. If a new divine hero chooses them, guess which novice village they are most likely to appear in?
At least based on the information he currently has, the kobold camp is definitely a very likely alternative answer!
Even if they have just arrived, their combat power is obviously not enough, but compared to ordinary kobolds or dragons, they are undoubtedly more intelligent, and things will definitely change a lot because of this.
After receiving Levi's reminder, Sun Knight suddenly realized that indeed, this possibility was very high, and he needed to make a safer plan.
The last good news is that the battle skills that Levi asked the other party to help acquire finally paid off.
With the money ability, Sun Knight successfully acquired several books of battle skills, including a book of military skills (elementary) required by Levi's roll call. The effect is that when commanding 0-3 level troops, the leadership required for each unit is
-1, the minimum is reduced to 1. Now with a few small pieces of equipment to improve leadership, Donna can command more subordinates.
After discussing some details, Li Wei also made some adjustments to his troops.
Although the Sun Knight specially dispatched some divinely chosen heroes to stay in the manor in response to the undead commotion, patrols and guards were usually needed. Now Levi decided to send some of his own men here.
At the same time, this is also to better prepare for the arrival of the regular army tomorrow and prepare sufficient leadership in advance.
The first is the Jade Crane Gunslinger and the Crane Gunslinger. They use guns as weapons. Although their attack power is not low, they are a bit incompatible with the archer troops led by Donna. But put them on the arrow tower in the village.
, their status will become different, and they can achieve better results.
Then there are the bees. As the enemy's strength quickly becomes stronger, they can't keep up. Once they encounter a large group of enemies, they often die quickly. Moreover, as the number of auxiliary magics mastered by Levi increases,
If there are too many, the defense power provided by their guard skills is no longer relevant.
In addition, there were too many Quasai demons in the demon army, and Janet, as the team leader, became more and more dangerous. So after discussion, Levi decided to let her be a Druid with peace of mind and no longer go.
As for the reconnaissance mission, that mission should be left to Sam and his friends.
Then there are the Light Yakon and the medium-sized wind elemental, as well as the 5 spearmen (with shields) obtained from the dungeon. Their strength is quite satisfactory, but there is no occasion for them to be used. They just put them in the village to fight wild monsters and deal with them.
Some low-level undead, use your remaining heat.
Of course, the elite Guang Yakong among them is still in the team. Now, the advantages of the elite unit are no longer needless to say, and he still has certain expectations for this guy's future.
Finally, there is the beast tamer and the miscellaneous beasts under him. Simply because their strength is too low, every time they encounter large-scale battles, there will always be varying degrees of attrition, but they still cannot exert much power.
As for the effect, Li Wei was too lazy to worry about it anymore.
He then told Sun Knight that if someone in the guild took a fancy to them, as long as the price was fair and the other party didn't worry about the morale of the troops after the transaction, he could choose to let them go, which would give them a better deal.
There's a way out.
Next, Donna still led many long-range shooters, Zhou Miyin led the Yuyong troops, Leonidas led the Spartans to act as his deputies, and the elite Guang Yakong joined forces nearby, using the anti-evil magic ring to slightly
Help others and gain some experience.
Sam led the halfling royal war goose riders, and Julia led the horse thieves to serve as scouts.
Simon and the Erion cavalry were always ready to charge from the enemy's flanks or behind, or to pursue them after the battle.
Bayoru still serves as Li Wei's personal guard, occasionally using his ax to gain experience points. Cindy and Janet are free to go where they need to go. Anyway, with their wisdom, there is no need for Li Wei to worry.
Finally, there is the Flaming War Goose. Although Li Wei has long disliked it, and he now has enough wealth to buy horses for the ammunition cart, it is also a kind of mount, and it is really worth putting in the village.
Somewhat wasteful.
It's a pity that both Donna and Cindy and others unanimously rejected this guy who had an eye-catching appearance, but his actual fighting ability was not that great.
Levi can only keep it for the time being. Maybe it can be used to make deals with other aborigines in the future. At least it looks pretty good on the outside.
After this integration, the team seems to be much more organized now, and the leadership is also richer. However, Li Wei feels that this is not completely over. The second round of similar actions should start soon.
Apart from anything else, whether it's horse thieves, halflings, or those Spartans, I'm afraid it won't take long for them to be eliminated.
Compared to the powerful clans like Cathay and the High Elves, whose troops are from small races or factions, they may look good in the short term in the early stage, but their potential in the future is obviously much worse.
