A few minutes later, Levi greeted Lotus from the Red Brotherhood at the entrance of the village.
Not to mention, despite the raging demons, she was still able to bring her subordinates here so quickly, and she seemed to have never experienced any battle at all, which was very good in terms of efficiency and luck.
Looking at the number of people on the other side, Levi immediately knew that his bait was definitely enough. Although he wanted to fish, he was reluctant to let the elite high elves bear the losses. These cheap and easy-to-replenish members of the Red Brotherhood were exactly what they wanted.
It's the best choice.
After a few quick glances, Lianhua couldn't help but marveled: "Li Wei, your method is good. You got your own village so quickly. Should I call you Lord Lieutenant Li Wei?"
Li Wei smiled slightly: "You're welcome, just call me Li Wei."
He didn't care about the other party's joking. A title was nothing. What he really cared about was the powerful attributes attached to this military position.
Lieutenant, health +50, magic +50, leadership +300, the health of all high elves under his command +35, attack +5, defense +5, half-elf life +20.
With this military position, coupled with equipment and magic, his health as a mage can easily exceed 100 points, and his leadership ability has skyrocketed instantly. With the addition of military skills and leadership skills, he can finally start to truly command.
A small army.
In comparison, the dozens of people before were nothing, they were just playing.
And the defense power of the high elf troops under his command, such as the Silver Guards, will be strengthened to an exaggerated level.
Lieutenant +5, Broken Crazy Demon Shield +2, Martial Arts +6, coupled with their own armor and shields, the attacks of ordinary level 3 troops will scratch their bodies. If Li Wei gives them another mage protection
Armor, body protection stone skin, etc., there are probably not many illegal units of the same level that can break their defense.
It was precisely because of the powerful bonus of this official position that Li Wei made up his mind that in the future, except for special elite units like Cindy and Zhou Miyin, he would only bring pure-blooded high elf units as much as possible.
He even thought about transforming all the half-elves under Donna into real high elves.
However, after a brief inquiry with Rissadilan, he gave up temporarily, because in addition to requiring a lot of precious and expensive magic materials, the blood purification ceremony also required a magician of at least level 10 or level 5 to preside over it.
OK.
However, he is just giving up temporarily. Although he is not strong enough, he can start preparing materials first. He is not far from level 8 now. The gap is not too big, and he may be able to get materials from other people.
of assistance.
Because after the Spartans, Silent Manor and the old mage all wrote back to congratulate him on becoming a lieutenant and getting his own village, the attitude of the old witch of the Bee Tribe also changed greatly, and she faintly revealed her plans.
It means moving again from Silent Manor, because the bees feel very uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the undead there.
Levi used to be a little contemptuous of her before, but now as he learns more and more information, he gradually begins to change his view.
There is no doubt that the drow are the dominant race in the Underdark. Even though they took advantage of the chaos of the war, they were able to crawl out of the Underdark with some useless bees. Perhaps it was not what it seemed on the surface.
So simple
At the same time, due to the blessing of the goddess Lilith, his intelligence has reached 15 points, and he has the opportunity to choose new magic expertise.
This time, his options also include three, namely brewing potions, familiar pockets, and counterspells.
The first one gave up directly. Just one weapon enchantment was enough for him to work on, and he didn't have any more energy in a short time.
The second familiar pocket can create an extra pocket on the mage's robe for some small familiars, such as spiders, toads, frogs or snakes, to rest. When they are inside, their health and
The recovery speed of magic points will be strengthened to a certain extent.
But Xiao Qi doesn't like to get into the pocket. When there is no battle, it prefers to stand on Levi's shoulders, then listen to everyone chatting, learn what everyone says, and occasionally interject a few words to make everyone laugh.
Hehehe, so Li Wei just gave up.
Therefore, the only third option is really worth choosing, and in his opinion, it is actually the one with the highest value.
Counter spells. You are familiar with the secrets of magic and can counter the target's magic quite effectively. If you identify a magic that the target is using and you know the magic, you can consume 150% of the magic value.
to try to counter the target's magic and render it ineffective.
The success probability of counterattack is based on the intelligence and level of both parties. If the counterattack is successful, the target will still consume mana normally. If the counterattack fails, 5%-50% of the mana will be randomly returned to you.
At first glance, you can tell that this is for mages to use in single combat, but in large-scale battlefields, the probability of this magic being used is hard to say.
Mainly because the mages are usually protected behind, with many people in between, and if the distance between the two parties is hundreds of meters, it is really difficult to identify the magic used by the other party without blessing magic.
But no matter how you say it, this can be regarded as a pretty good specialty. It may not be used in many occasions, but for a mage, it is absolutely indispensable.
At the same time, as his level and intelligence attributes increased, the power of magic such as micro-meteors also increased. Coupled with the many summons and the improvement of Donna's strength, although they suffered heavy losses in that night battle, their overall combat effectiveness
They have recovered quickly, and even within ten miles of the village, their overall combat effectiveness is far greater than before.
For example, in a head-on battle, he was absolutely sure that he could kill hundreds of Red Brotherhood members except Lotus. It might even only take two or three rounds of attacks.
Thinking like this, he suddenly felt something special. This time he was closer, and his strength was much stronger than last time, so he noticed the special feature of the lotus earrings, as if there was a layer that could not be seen with the naked eye.
Although she couldn't tell, the faint magical light that actually existed emanated from the top, and then enveloped her face.
It seems that Donna and Julia may have been right. This face with several stripes and scars is not the real face of Lotus.
Lianhua obviously noticed where his gaze fell. She was immediately wary and gritted her teeth secretly. Didn’t that damn traveling merchant say that the magic on this earring was very powerful, even for a mage with less than level 10 or 20 intelligence points?
Did you see through it?
Why was it noticed by the Amazon last time, and why was it noticed by Levi this time?
Is it possible that they are all just a coincidence? Could this be a fake?
When she thought of this, her mood suddenly became less beautiful. Ever since her mother passed down the name, she had never suffered such grievances. She must confirm it carefully when she goes back.
If that guy really dared to lie to her, there would be more things in the river!
But on the surface, she remained calm, and just started to change the subject immediately: "Li Wei, I'm afraid you don't know the disadvantages here, right? I heard that there was a war in the south, and there are still undead raging, so
Not sure whether it is true."
Li Wei chuckled and nodded: "It is indeed true, but for me, this will only make it easier to train troops."
As soon as he said this, Lianhua looked at Levi with a different look. Dare to say that using the undead to train soldiers is really not something ordinary elves can do. No wonder the opponent's strength has expanded so quickly. It seems that it needs to be strengthened.
Let’s cooperate.
"Well, now that you know, I won't talk nonsense. I have brought the troops and things, and I also got some unexpected gains. You can take a look."
Saying this, she reached out and handed over four or five magic scrolls. Levi took a look and found that in addition to the mud wall technique and turning mud into stone that he had mentioned when he wanted to send a message to the other party, there was also an advanced stone shaping technique, which could
By further strengthening the solidity of the stone wall, his plan becomes more secure.
Multiple channels have shown that the vampire is very vigilant and will immediately run away at the slightest sign of trouble. If he wants to completely kill the opponent, he must be prepared in all aspects.
Although he knew that the Red Brotherhood was always unprofitable, Lotus was really interesting this time. He didn't even give a penny, so she led the troops to run so far, rushing to give him money.
I sent these things here myself.
"Okay, everything is fine. In addition, I also need some magic similar to reviving skeletons, manipulating dead bodies, evoking skeletons, etc. The more the quantity, the better, and the cheaper the price, the better."
Lianhua was suddenly a little surprised: "The cheaper, the better? The lowest level skeleton resurrection can only revive level 0 skeletons. Ordinary militiamen can kill two of them at once. Why do you want that thing? And don't you high elves hate the evil undead magic the most?"
Of?"
"Of course it's to fight against them."
Levi stretched out his hand and pointed at the huge abyss cracks in the sky in the distance.
Since that night, many evil god kings sacrificed a large number of horned demons, and the demon hero Names created more and stronger demons. He has been thinking hard, trying to find a way to fight against them.
Not to mention, he soon obtained some information from a handful of demon-chosen heroes on the forum, and the process was much simpler than he imagined.
Generally speaking, demons and devils, or other similar sacrificial rituals, mostly require overflowing blood, the breath of death, painful souls and complete corpses.
Blood and death are difficult to avoid. The soul, except for necromancers or some priests who specialize in this aspect, is invisible and intangible most of the time. Ordinary mages are not good at this, but a complete corpse is the most
Easily destroyed.
The simplest method is to revive the skeletons of the undead. After summoning the skeletons from the corpse, there should be only a pile of minced meat and internal organs left in place.
Even if it looks a bit evil, it is indeed evil undead magic, but if it is used on demons, Levi will not feel any pressure at all.
Although this move cannot completely offset it, it is still easy to sprinkle a layer of holy water on the ground or buy some enchanted silver purification equipment to reduce the effect of the sacrifice by more than half.
And there is no need to worry about skeletons or ghosts rising again after the war. The priests in Lilith Temple have been busy working on this in the past few days to prevent similar things from happening next time.
Levi also made some reservations by the way, and he estimates that the next time he fights the devil, this aspect will be much easier.
At the same time, he also ordered a set for Sun Knight to deal with the undead, not to make a profit, but just to help him get rid of the undead aura in Silent Manor as soon as possible.
Only then did Lianhua suddenly realize: "So that's it."
But then she couldn't help but asked again: "Levi, are you still ready to fight them?"
Li Wei smiled and said nothing. Although he has now become the village chief of Bitao Village, it would be too naive to say that a mere village can restrain him.
For him, the village is nothing more than a reliable rear and a tool for making money.
This is not a pure farming game. If he wants to become stronger, he must constantly take the initiative to defeat more and stronger enemies, gain experience points and military merit, and improve his level and military rank.
Achieve the goal of quickly snowballing.
He couldn't really expect the undead people in the south to quickly become stronger, and then he would go and level up the monsters.
If he really wants to farm, he must at least obtain a large number of architectural drawings, be able to recruit high-level or even top-level troops in the territory, and also reserve a large amount of resources.
Seeing her look like this, Lianhua couldn't help but shake her head: "Forget it, I will pay attention to it, and it shouldn't be a big problem. Others will have some stock in their hands."
"Thank you very much. I'll give you the money right now. I'm richer this time, so I'll give you a bigger deposit. In addition, I also want to recruit some of the troops you brought."
Although in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of several arms of the Red Brotherhood can no longer keep up, it is still good to use them as cannon fodder, especially those horse thieves. Even if they can't use them all in this fishing operation, they can use them in normal times.
The action of covering the night elf huntresses is also good.
Lianhua stretched out her hand to stop him: "No, there's no need to rush. In fact, I also want something."
"To be honest, if I can do it, I will try my best."
Don't be afraid of the other party's demands, but be afraid that the other party won't want anything. Favor debts are often the most difficult to repay.
"Well, I communicated with other contacts. Now, except for Silent Manor and a settlement of green-skinned orcs, among all the nearby territories of humans and high elves chosen heroes, this should be the only one with the greatest potential.
of."
"So I want to set up a stronghold here. What do you think about me helping you manage the tavern?"
In fact, of course there can't be only one similar stronghold. She was still considering it because every time the Red Brotherhood established a stronghold, it would consume a lot of manpower and resources to keep it running. They definitely didn't want to destroy the Red Brotherhood.
Shop sign.
But she heard a very incredible legend about Levi.
So after receiving his message, she temporarily put down other things in her hands and came in person.
Then she saw groups of patrols at the door that clearly had the characteristics of celestial creatures. She made up her mind at that time and must choose this place!
"Of course. In fact, I can't ask for it. But since you regard me as a friend, I won't hide it from you. In addition to the threat of the undead in the south, there may be another war here in the past two days, which may be very dangerous.
, which is why I need them.”
Levi raised the magic scroll in his hand.
The river a few miles away is not particularly regular, but winding like a snake, especially in the narrowest area, which is only a few meters wide. At the critical moment, if you are prepared, these rivers will
The magic scroll will definitely bring extraordinary surprises to the enemy.
After hearing this, Lianhua's expression became a little complicated: "Actually, you don't have to say this. When the enemy arrives, we will do our best even to maintain the reputation of our Red Brotherhood."
Levi wasn't the only chosen hero she dealt with, but he was definitely the one she liked the most.
Because the other God-chosen heroes are more fawning than the last when they need her, and run faster than the last when there is no benefit, and most of them despise her current appearance.
There were even two guys who tried to trick her, but they underestimated her strength and were easily killed by her in the end. They were also wanted in the name of the entire Red Brotherhood.
Levi smiled again: "Because I hope to get friends, not cannon fodder that can be used or discarded at will."
Even though the frontal combat effectiveness of the Red Brotherhood is really not that good at present, their intelligence system is very good, and they are also related to the goddess of wealth Wojin. As long as the money is in place, they can buy some valuables or even prohibited items.
It's all possible.
It's not that he can't offend them at all. As a high elf lieutenant, he now has this confidence. Even if he offends them, they don't dare to do anything openly.
But since it is possible to become friends, why must we become enemies?
Lianhua was immediately touched when she heard the words. This time she didn't say anything more, she just nodded lightly: "Our Red Brotherhood is the same."
"But I still have some doubts. You members of the Red Brotherhood won't do some petty theft, right? I have to ensure the security of the village."
"Besides me, there is also the temple of Sehani Moonbow Goddess in the village, and those celestial creatures are also jealous of evil. Although they are still not as good as the paladin, they can't stand it either."
Although he doesn't mind the appearance of some creatures from other camps in his village, and he can even accept ordinary gnolls, he doesn't want this place to become a paradise for thieves and robbers, which is not conducive to his development, so if the other party cannot comply
According to the rules, no matter how tempted he is, he will not allow the other party to extend his hand.
And he really exaggerated a lot. Anyone who likes petty theft will basically be despised or even hostile by the indigenous people. Even the thief gods of various gods are no exception. They basically have many enemies.
I can live with my tail between my legs.
Celestial creatures also dislike this kind of behavior very much, and because their concepts of good and evil are too clear, they are often more easily angered by these behaviors.
Of course, for heroes like Levi who are constantly fighting against evil, it will be easier to win their favor.
Lianhua was immediately amused: "It seems like Levi, you still don't understand our Red Brotherhood well. For us, why do we need to do something that we can buy with money? Our Goddess of Wealth doesn't like the God of Thieves."
Vol'jin, the goddess of wealth, and Mask, the god of thieves, are completely opposite in nature. After all, the former relies on his own ability to make money, while the latter likes it more, and only likes to get something for nothing.
Many thieves also like to target the believers of the Goddess of Wealth, because they are the richest, so over time, the two parties have already formed a deadly feud.
Levi nodded: "That's good. I'm sorry, I was rude."
In fact, it's not that he doesn't know this, but the guys from the Red Brotherhood are dressed in too shabby clothes, which is not in line with the style of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth at all, and there are no priests who use divine magic in her team.
It's hard not to make him suspicious.
Are they believers of the Goddess of Wealth, or have they spent money to buy a reputation? He did not doubt that the other party was fabricating it out of thin air, because in a world where true gods exist, organizations like the Red Brotherhood simply cannot bear the wrath of gods.
.
"Haha, I can guarantee that if any of my people take these actions, you can directly execute them. Just notify me afterwards."
"At the same time, I will also help you keep all the suspicious people and suspicious information in your tavern. When encountering a battle, we will also take action, but you can't let us work in vain, otherwise it will not be in line with the teachings of the goddess.
."
Then she blinked: "Of course, the most important thing is that my special products will also be provided to you first."
Goods, guys?
Levi immediately realized that the other party must be talking about slaves. The last time he sniped at the demon at the bridge, the other party mentioned it.
He immediately asked with great interest: "How many do you have in your hands now? What factions and races do they belong to? What is their strength?"
Although he has restored his strength to a large extent through various methods, he certainly hopes to have more in order to face the upcoming battle.
"Of course it depends on what race you need. There are even high elves~"
Levi's eyes widened for a moment, and then he immediately reacted: "Do you have people in the green skins?"
This time it was Lianhua's turn to smile and say nothing, but Li Wei had already got the answer. No wonder Lianhua just said that there was a green-skinned village that could rival her.
It is estimated that there is a high probability that they are the greenskins who had brief contact with him before, but retreated immediately when they saw that the situation was not going well.
According to the Sun Knight's information, they should belong to the same guild. While the high elves were at war with demons, greenskins, etc., they captured and plundered multiple villages in one fell swoop.
Although most of the high elves' energy is focused on fighting for the Black Castle, even if they only devote one-tenth of their energy to counterattack, their current situation is very uncomfortable. Now there is only one village left.
However, the Red Brotherhood actually had many green men, which really made him sigh.
Now he somewhat believes that the other party is really a believer of the goddess of wealth. Regardless of race, good or evil, only money is the first priority?
Well, no, at least for now, it seems that Lotus is not a particularly qualified believer of the Goddess of Wealth.
He immediately nodded vigorously: "Okay, as long as it is a high elf unit, I will take as many as you have. Unless the other races are particularly rare, try not to be from the chaotic or evil camp."
"If I don't have enough money, I can barter, borrow money, or just write an IOU."
"By the way, I wonder if you are interested in the level 2 mount - Dire Ostrich?"
Lian Hua's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course I am interested. You chosen heroes like this unique mount, and it is a ferocious animal with high combat effectiveness. I think it can be sold for at least 2.5 or even 3 gold coins."
A mount that needs protection and a mount that can personally participate in battle are completely different concepts.
And according to the information she has collected so far, not all the God-chosen heroes are powerful or improve quickly. Some of the God-chosen heroes may not be able to defeat a ferocious ostrich now, but they will soon like them very much.
Guy's.
And every once in a while, there seems to be a new hero chosen by God, so there is absolutely no need to worry about sales.
"Okay, then I will give priority to you. I dare not say if there are more. I can definitely guarantee more than 10 heads every week."
Although their weekly output is 18, he still has to take care of the guild, and there is no guarantee that there will be accidental deaths in battle, so don't talk too much yet.
"Only 10? It's a bit small."
Lianhua was a little disappointed. Although the value of this thing was not low, if the quantity was too small, the money she could earn would definitely be reduced.
Because for a regular customer with great potential like Li Wei, she definitely can't kill him. Even in order to stabilize the other party and make the transaction between the two parties stable for a long time, she might occasionally add something to it.
Woolen cloth.
"The village has just got on the right track, and everything is not perfect yet, but give me some time, and I am confident that I can come up with some other popular beasts."
With so many free sparring partners in the south, as well as the witch Tiva and the animal trainer who was about to rejoin his command, he felt that this would not be a problem.
"Ok, I trust you."
Then she gradually shifted her gaze to those majestic heavenly creatures, and asked tentatively: "Li Wei, I wonder if they are willing."
Although she didn't finish her words, Levi could completely understand what she meant, because in addition to doing black market business and buying and selling slaves and captives, the Red Brotherhood also worked part-time as war mercenaries, some of whom were their own people, and some of whom were other people.
The soldiers were recruited from random places, but now she likes Guang Yakong and the others.
But this time Li Wei could only shake his head and reject the opponent: "Their conditions are very harsh. Don't think about recruiting you for the time being. If you have a mage from the lawful neutral or lawful good camp under your command, I can try to help you."
Let’s pull some strings and see if we can make a temporary summoning contract.”
Of course, this is just an attempt. Unless the lotus flower can really bring him great benefit, so great that he cannot even pay it back for a while, he will not consider repaying his kindness in this way.
But Lianhua didn't know what he was thinking for the time being. She nodded repeatedly: "Okay, it's settled, I'll do it right away. Tomorrow at the latest, I will definitely let you see your high elf captives with your own eyes!"
