After letting Maldis go to rest first, Sonia and Sefa also went to patrol the surrounding area, while Levi began to check what was in the space ring.
In addition to some gold coins, low-level mage props, and negative energy crystals, there are also about eighty or ninety primary and intermediate soul crystals.
It can be seen that before being killed by Maltis, those undead creatures did a lot of harm to people, but now they all take advantage of Levi.
He directly asked people to move a large amount of metal and prepared to start making Death Guards.
In fact, according to the records in the Nine Volumes of Nagash, death guards can be made from metal or stone, and in emergencies, bones or even wood can be used. However, this is a black iron mine. Of course, there is no shortage of metal, so we should use it as much as possible.
Much better.
However, in order to compare the specific attribute differences, he still asked people to find some stones and bones.
Then he began to create his own Death Guard according to the records in the nine volumes of Nagash.
Although he has never made a construct before, this thing is a fool-like operation. Just follow a certain order, place the corresponding materials, and then input the magic.
When he actually started to create it, he found that it was almost exactly the same as the principle he used to create low-level puppet creations using activated weapons and magic constancy.
It's just that the materials are different, and he didn't use soul crystals at the beginning.
But no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as an analogy.
So after spending a little time, he successfully created the other five Death Guards except the Sphinx.
In order to make a comparison, he used low-level and intermediate-level soul crystals to create one of each type.
As for the Sphinx, manufacturing it not only requires dozens of times the materials, but also requires a hero's spirit and high-level soul crystals, which means they cannot be mass-produced.
Since there are currently no high-level soul crystals in the space ring, we can only wait until we fight enemies to see if we can get them.
Thinking about it, the sphinxes of the Tomb Kings are all level 7 troops, which are on the same level as dragons and phoenixes. It is not that easy to make them.
But he was still very satisfied with other kinds of death guards, including those made of metal, the human-shaped jackal (double sickle sword), the flying eagle (spear), the beetle (hammer shield), and the half-human and half-beast type.
Venomous scorpions are all level 4.
Their main skills are anti-infantry, flying, holding on and burrowing. Their characteristics and fighting styles match their respective appearances.
The beast-shaped scarab is a level 5 unit. Although its attack power is not worth mentioning, its defense, magic resistance and health are all excellent.
Because of its special round body, it also has additional resistance to attacks by arrows and other long-range projectile weapons.
Since the Death Guards are all special structures, spiritual magic such as fear and charm are completely ineffective against them.
They also have no morale and do not need regular food or water as supplies.
Correspondingly, Levi cannot use ordinary spells to treat them. He needs to learn some special expertise and spells, or simply recruit some special subordinates to treat them.
Tomb Kings have a special profession called Tomb Technician, which specializes in repairing various structures.
As for their energy problems, they are also very easy to solve.
Whether it is elemental crystals of various systems, soul crystals, or simply, the magic power of magicians can easily control them.
If it is really an emergency, you can also forcefully drive them by consuming the soul crystals in their bodies, but in that case, they will basically be scrapped after being used, and they will not even need to be repaired.
But it's not a big problem, because constructs, no matter how high their level is, are essentially just consumables.
In addition, because their bodies are relatively large and their bodies made of metal are extremely heavy, they can serve as perfect front row cannon fodder.
Next time if you encounter giants and other powerful enemies that cannot be completely resisted even if they form a battle formation, you can send them on the battlefield.
The giant may be able to knock the Silver Guards away more than ten meters, but it will never be able to easily have the same effect on these big guys.
As for the comparison objects made of metal and stone, while saving Li Wei a little money, their attributes in all aspects have dropped significantly.
Their level will also fall accordingly. Those who use bones as materials will simply become level 2, and they will be considered incompetent even as cannon fodder.
In addition, there is almost no difference in attributes between the Death Guards made using low-level and intermediate soul crystals. Levi speculated that there may be differences in mental abilities.
But after issuing several orders, there is not much difference, so it can only be a matter of combat wisdom. We can only wait and see more on the battlefield later.
In short, Li Wei is still very satisfied. The constructs are of course not perfect, but their biggest feature is that they can produce a steady stream of output when the materials are sufficient.
This is even countless times faster than the recruitment speed of God-given buildings.
The only regret is that the Death Guard can only be created when the Nine Scrolls of Nagash are equipped.
Li Wei was copying the gourd, rather than learning anything like expertise from above. As for that, he hasn't learned it yet.
Due to its preciousness, he can only do this himself for the time being, and the production speed may be affected to a certain extent.
But after returning to Thorn Town, with the assistance of the mage tower, the efficiency should be improved many times.
After sighing a little, Levi made some more death guards.
Compared with ordinary troops, constructs have another advantage, that is, they can be installed in space rings when they are not fully activated.
If he is left alone, maybe they will be able to play a huge role.
After using up all the soul crystals on his hands, he made a few more magic flying carpets, planning to hand them over to Cindy, Alyssa, Sefa and other magic troops later.
Not to mention whether they can use it or whether they are willing to use it, this at least represents his intention.
Then he took out the epic weapon he got in the Underdark - the giant Hydra lance.
This thing was in his hands before and had always been idle. It was really a waste. Now that Maltese has come to the door on his own initiative, maybe it can find its owner.
Although she used a two-handed rune sword before, as a knight, who doesn't know how to use a lance?
At this time, Shudun ran over and said that the most powerful dwarf nearby, Tiefengbao, had taken the initiative to send people here.
Levi was not surprised by this. Although they had regained this place from the undead, it was still the territory of the dwarves a few days ago, and other dwarves would definitely pay attention.
He simply motioned to Shudun to act as a representative and communicate with the other party. Anyway, he would be responsible for everything here in the future.
Shudun suddenly looked unconfident: "Brother Levi, can I do it? I won't mess it up, right?"
Although he had communicated with the aboriginal people a lot before, he had also been chasing after them for tasks more than once.
But things at that time were completely different from now, and this may very well involve the future ownership of the black iron mine.
This game is not like other ordinary games. If the indigenous people lose their territory or equipment, the forces they belong to, or their relatives and friends, may be able to help them get it back.
Li Wei didn't care. He originally wanted to see what machinations Ma La was doing this time, and now he has read it. He also got the nine volumes of Nagash. The attraction of the black iron mine to him is just that.
Not big anymore.
He immediately comforted him: "It's okay, you are both dwarves, it will be easier to communicate, and the other party only has a few purposes."
"The first thing is to form an alliance. There's nothing to say about this. Just agree. Let's work together to defeat the greenskins and beastmen."
"The second thing is to go back to the black iron mine. As long as the price is right, it doesn't matter if we sell it to them."
"In the end, the other party may put forward certain conditions. After we achieve our goals, they will officially recognize our ownership of this place."
As for the situation of starting a war over a disagreement, based on the amount of information Li Wei has collected so far, the chance is almost zero.
Putting aside the fact that everyone is in the good camp and won't easily start a war just because of this little thing, the dwarves are too busy taking care of themselves right now, okay?
In addition to being used to deal with the surrounding evil alien races, almost all of their troops were sent towards the direction of Bafeng Mountain.
Despite this, Shudun was still a little uneasy. He had never done such a big job before.
There is no other way, Li Wei can only go with him. If anything happens, we can discuss it later.
As Li Wei expected, the dwarves did not seem to be hostile at all. Instead, they were obviously somewhat satisfied when they saw the tree stump.
They didn't have too many polite words and got to the point quickly.
"In the name of Kazador Dragon Slayer, we can recognize your ownership of this place and are willing to conduct trade, etc., but there is one condition. You need to avenge the innocent victims."
Li Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. The fight in the Judu Pit was so lively before. Even if they didn't know it was Ma who pulled the hand, looking at the extent of the destruction of the terrain there, they should know how strong the opponent is, right?
This condition doesn't seem sincere, does it?
As for that Kazador, he had also heard that he was the king of the dwarves of Iron Peak Castle.
Not only is he a legend himself, but he also has a legendary rune blacksmith who is considered famous in the entire main world - Thorik Ironbrow.
Just looking at this, you can tell that the strength of their kingdom is second to none among the entire dwarves.
Stronger than the High Elves, there are 10 kingdoms in total, and it is not stated that any kingdom has two legends at the same time.
Moreover, Kazador has actually slain a dragon. Although it seems to be just a relatively weak green dragon among the five evil dragons, it still won him great reputation.
That Iron Eyebrow is not a simple little character. His reputation and popularity may be even higher than those of Kazador and even the Dragon Prince.
Because both of them are warriors, they are best at one-on-one combat, but Iron Eyebrow can forge various powerful runes and even attach them to weapons and armor.
It is said that the number of legendary equipment produced by him is in double digits, and there are more than two pieces of legendary equipment.
With this kind of powerful ability, whether he is a divinely chosen hero, an aborigine, or even a major church, he must be supported, okay?
But despite this, coupled with the joint efforts of other dwarf kingdoms, they still failed to capture the complete Eight Peaks Mountain. One can imagine how fierce the battle there was.
However, the other party soon explained that the target was not Maura.
It turned out that the dwarf survivors who used magic circles to escape from the treasure house of the Gathering Pit were unfortunately robbed and killed by a group of greenskins.
Speaking of which, they were unlucky. Their teleportation circle had been in disrepair for a long time, so it had some glitches, which caused errors in the teleportation.
According to their investigation, the other party happened to teleport to the camp of a group of fleeing greenskins.
Shudun and Li Wei couldn't help but look at each other for a moment. That was indeed unlucky enough.
The dwarf spat and said: "So if you can avenge them and kill those greenskins, the king can guarantee that all the dwarves will never have any objection to you occupying this place!"
Signaling Stump to agree first, Levi pondered for a moment: "Is the other party an aborigine or a hero chosen by God?"
This answer determines his next level of care.
Because as we all know, the green-skinned natives don't use gold coins as currency at all.
Those unlucky dwarves left with the most precious thing in the entire treasure house, only to be robbed by the greenskin. If he could find and kill the opponent earlier, maybe the entire treasure would be his!
"It is said that the opponent is a green-skinned warrior named Meat Chopper Big Boy. We only know that it ran south, and its specific whereabouts are not yet clear."
Levi couldn't help but grin. This guy really fits the naming habits of the greenskins.
But if you go south, it's just the way to go.
He doesn't plan to get involved in the matter of Bafeng Mountain for the time being. The aborigines have been fighting there for so many years, but there is no result.
Recently, it has attracted many God-chosen heroes. Those greenskins, dwarves, ratmen, etc. have legendary heroes behind them. There are more than one. He is an elf, so he probably won’t have a good chance.
Although there is a Nine Scrolls of Nagash hidden there, Lilith said she wanted to investigate first before making a decision.
He could have gone to find trouble with the Silver Blood Army first, and then look for those greenskins on the way.
The other party has no time limit on this, so what else does he have to worry about?
Moreover, if you go south, you might be able to find an extremely powerful helper.
Although most of the vampire queen's enemies have been defeated by her strength, magic, or charm, there are still some that she can't do anything about.
One of her deadliest and equally eternal enemies lies in the south!
So after looking at each other and Stump, they readily agreed to each other's conditions.
After thinking for a while, Li Wei asked one last question: "I wonder how you plan to deal with the deep pollution pit?"
The leading dwarf suddenly showed a very angry but helpless look.
"The original dwarf clan there has disappeared. We don't have the ability to purify it for the time being, so we can only put it on hold for now."
Then he glanced at Li Wei very warily: "But that place is different from here. Even the king will not easily agree to let foreigners occupy it."
Li Wei shrugged, not commenting on this, because he really didn't think about occupying it.
Not to mention how much energy it takes to clean up those ruins, I am afraid that in a few days, the entire main world will know that Ma La was fighting there and was deflated.
When the time comes, there will be a lot of aborigines and God-chosen heroes going for sightseeing. Just think about it, there will be a lot of them, and he can't stand the trouble.
After sending away the dwarves from Iron Peak Castle, Li Wei also gathered his team again and prepared to leave.
In addition to the supervisors and Xiao Tianhui who stayed with many heavenly creatures, most of the ogres were also handed over to the tree stump by Li Wei.
Although they are strong enough, with the death guards, they are of little significance to Li Wei.
The most important thing is that there are enough races in the troops under his command. If not necessary, he will only want to recruit and command the elves and their subraces in the future, plus some celestial creatures and griffins and other war beasts.
As for other races, unless they are really strong, forget it.
As for one of the elite ogres, Leslie, was specially selected and taken away by Levi. From his previous performances, everyone could see that there was a big difference between him and ordinary ogres.
In fact, among the aboriginals, those who rely on their own abilities to become elite units are either outstandingly talented, experienced in many battles, or both. In short, if you focus on cultivating them, you will never suffer.
Naturally, the ogres won't have any objections to this. They are all mercenaries anyway, so just give them food. It doesn't make much difference who they follow!
