Glancing sadly at the skeleton Inheim who was following closely beside him, Liu Yifei couldn't help but despise himself.
Why can't you resist the temptation of the other party?
At this moment, Liu Yifei and his party were diverting from the southwest border of Dickwell Kingdom to the "Crystal Gap" fortress in the northwest.
As mentioned before, the Kingdom of Dickwell is located in the northwest of the entire human race territory, and its geographical location is very close to the traditional territory of the Tower Clan on the ice and snow plateau in the northern part of the continent.
Although Tower and the human race have always been on good terms, there is still a bottom line.
Therefore, there is such a "Crystal Gap" fortress in the "Ruyun Mountains" of Tallenbel in the northwest. It was a choke fortress built here not long after the founding of the Kingdom of Dickwell. Behind it is the leading tower.
The only road on the snowy plateau.
In the endless Tallenber Mountains, there are of course little-known trails, but such trails are basically not passable by a team of fifty people, except for various lone adventurers or local hunters who are not afraid of death.
, the "Crystal Gorge" Fortress is the only way between the two places.
Of course, opposite the Crystal Gorge, there is also a war fortress set up by the Tower Clan. As for its function, there is no need to elaborate.
In the past, it was not impossible to pass secretly through this canyon lined with troops. After all, this kind of fortress defense was always only a large-scale army. As long as Liu Yifei and the others reduced the size of their team, it was indeed possible to sneak away without alerting others.
past.
But don't think about it now
As the all-out war between the two magic camps in the Tower Clan becomes increasingly fierce, this place has become the best way for the human race to increase troops and assist the Tower Clan. And for such an important strategic purpose, coupled with the fact that it is the number one in the northwest of the Dickwell Kingdom
At this moment, the number of troops garrisoned in the "Crystal Gap" Fortress has exceeded 80,000, and there are even 200,000 temporary garrison troops in a large city behind, ready to reinforce the Crystal Gap Fortress at any time.
Of course, this is not the worst part!
What made Liu Yifei feel even more painful was...the Tower Clan war fortress opposite the Crystal Gorge. It had been occupied by the dark army of the underground city as early as the early days of the war!!!
Using a large number of secret exits from the above-ground world and careful preparations, in the early days of the war, the dark army from the underground world defeated the Kingdom of Mercury and was defeated!
Even this king has been captured by these monsters in the darkness, and the entire country is in flames of war, and all lives are in ruins.
Unfortunately, in the first wave of the enemy's offensive, the war fortress guarding the main road was completely razed by the tauren army.
Although it was later counterattacked by Dickwell's reinforcements, as the reinforcements advanced towards the interior of the Kingdom of Mercury, and the Dungeon Dragon Queen "Moriel" appeared forcefully, the fortress was eventually taken back by the opponent.
Different from Liu Yifei's previous fourth-level medium-sized fortress, this portal stronghold carefully established by the Kingdom of Mercury is a seventh-level...
"Are you sure you can take me out of here?"
After reading a little bit of information about Crystal Gorge Fortress from the in-game forum, Liu Yifei became increasingly worried.
Previously, due to the all-out civil war between the Tiger King Hall and the Holy Light Alliance in the Kingdom of Dickwell, quite a few neutral players felt very uneasy.
Neutrality means not helping each other, and many times, for both sides in a war, those who are neutral are actually the targets they need to attack first!
Because no one can guarantee that when the conflict between the two sides develops to the most intense and dangerous moment, these guys who have been hiding on the sidelines watching the show will do something unpredictable.
Maybe it's based on a similar idea.
In the past, neither the people from the Tiger King Hall nor the people from the Holy Light Alliance gave these centrists a good look. This forced some moderately powerful centrists to find another way out.
Among them, there were a few fairly strong player teams that received the campaign mission of "Reinforce the Tower Clan". Some of them followed the reinforcements all the way to the front line, while some eventually stayed in Crystal Gap Fortress and became frontline players.
Thanks to the "self-destruction" of these people, Liu Yifei learned a little bit about the situation around Crystal Gorge.
What Liu Yifei didn't expect was that not long ago, as the fighting on the front line became increasingly fierce, the Crystal Gorge area actually started building a stronger fortified pass to ensure local security.
As a result, the entire "Crystal Gorge" passage now looks like a construction site in the era of large-scale construction, not to mention a large undead army... even if it is just a larger bird...
It's not easy to fly over sneakily!
Liu Yifei really wanted to take a new path to the Tower Clan, but if Inheim hadn't been patting his chest and promising him all the way, he might have been hesitant to find another way.
Forcefully breaking through the border pass... This move was no weaker than his previous full-scale collision with the Rock City Corps...
"Hey hey hey
You are not a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. Think about the last fight with the crazy me... the situation was much worse than now, right?
Haven't you ever been afraid before? Why are you so worried this time?"
Skeleton Inheim turned his head and glanced at Liu Yifei, and said as if he was teasing.
"Nonsense, what I'm afraid of is that you were deceiving me and sold me to the defenders of Crystal Gorge."
Liu Yifei rolled his eyes helplessly, but said indifferently.
Although he agreed to the temporary alliance with Inheim, it was mainly based on the various conditions proposed by Inheim. As for whether they can trust each other...hell
Anyway, Liu Yifei is not too worried about this former lich at the moment.
Now Liu Yifei is sure that Inheim's strength has indeed regressed to the spiritual level. He is no longer the powerful man who can control the legendary magic array with legendary power and can summon the Lord God in the living world.
In terms of the strength of a spirit-level hero, Inheim is not at the top either. He is probably similar to Bol, and even worse than Gregory.
Such a spiritual level combat power is actually not too important to Liu Yifei at the moment. It makes him anxious. Liu Yifei can kill Inheim on the spot!
But the "additional conditions" proposed by this "bad ghost" really made Liu Yifei unable to avoid being tempted.
Among Inheim's "conditions", he did not want to join Liu Yifei and become his subordinate, but he wanted to "form an alliance" with Liu Yifei as a free agent, and the two parties became allies.
Of course, in order to ensure the basic guarantee of this "alliance", the two of them had already sworn an oath to the gods, and Liu Yifei also carefully reviewed the oath several times, just in case this old monster who had survived all the way from ancient times was playing tricks with him.
Trap game.
It's just that the current strength comparison between the two sides is that Liu Yifei is too much stronger, and Inheim has no territory of his own. So this "alliance" method is also very strange.
That is, if Liu Yifei is willing to give Inheim his trust, he is willing to become the "chief" of Liu Yifei's Lord Magic Tower without charging any additional fees. Liu Yifei only needs to allocate the basic expenses for research and development of various magics.
The so-called "chief" of the magic tower actually has the same meaning as the "guardian" in the recruiting building. It means assigning a hero to be the operator and protector of the fixed building.
At the same time, depending on the characteristics of the hero, the "fit" between the profession and the building, the guardian or chief can also provide more additional benefits. Even territorial buildings such as the lord craft hall and the blacksmith shop can assign "chief"
”.
Nowadays, Inheim is a skeleton, but his profession is still a necromancer, so he has become a slightly painful skeleton wizard.
Players can choose a specific race when reborn in the third level. Nowadays, various talents of various races have been announced on the forum, corresponding to the advantages and disadvantages of the profession.
Generally speaking, when a player is reborn at the third level, he can basically be reincarnated into the corresponding first- and second-level low-level creatures of his camp. If he wants to become a higher-level mid-level race, he or she can be reincarnated into a first- or second-level creature like Yu Huangquan.
When you were in the first level, you formed an "indissoluble bond" with the corresponding mid-level race, and even obtained a specific occupation of a specific race in advance. Or, you have a very high reputation as a soldier. You may also obtain an additional rebirth permission for the corresponding race.
.
As for high-level creatures, I haven't heard of anyone being able to be reborn as a high-level race, so it would be quite difficult to do so.
When Liu Yifei was reborn at the third level, he finally chose the basic human template due to various considerations. As a result, he did lose a special racial talent, but it also used the "versatility" and "prestige hunter" of humans.
After the talent was strengthened once, it was still pretty good.
According to Liu Yifei, the ghost race that is most suitable for the profession of "wizard" must be the corpse witch.
It can greatly increase the speed of magic regeneration, and at the same time, it can also greatly strengthen the power of all series of magic and strengthen the upper limit of mp. It is basically a race that exists for "casting".
In addition, the undead race is not bad. They can have special effects such as silence, demon transformation, demon absorption, and fear. Not only can they greatly inhibit the opponent's spellcasting, but they can also absorb the opponent's magic power and use it for their own use. They can also be immune to a considerable part of it.
The physical damage is definitely a powerful mage plus a mage killer in the enemy's army!
Compared with players who can re-select a profession every time they are reborn, the choice of "race" must be much more careful! Because this thing can generally only be chosen once, unless the player has another adventure in the future.
Get the chance to choose your race again, otherwise you won’t be able to do this again
If you are unhappy with professional training, you can just endure it for "this life" and wait until the next rebirth to change. But once you choose a different race, the problem will be bigger.
The reason why such an important choice is placed in the third level is that after playing until now, with the experience of the first and second levels, players should be able to basically determine what profession they want to play. In addition, there is an adaptation period.
, it’s time for players to have a deeper understanding of the various features in the game, and it also gives players a period of adaptation and understanding.
Anyway, no matter how you put it, the "race" is something that players must carefully choose. In addition, starting from the third level, players must try to stabilize their own profession. They can no longer be a warrior at the first level, a mage at the next level, or a mage at the next level.
There is no such thing as a level archer, because the compatibility of professional and racial talents and characteristics must be considered.
Skeleton Mage...
This combination can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not good either. Its weirdness is probably better than "zombie archer", an alternative gameplay that doesn't care whether it's suitable or not.
And related to the promotion route of skeleton mercenaries, it can be imagined that the system itself does not really recognize the development route of "skeleton mage".
(Looking at the branches of mercenary promotion forms can indeed be used as a reference for players to choose, but this is not certain, it can only be said to be a matter of whether the system recommends it or not.
For example, the talents of the skeleton family are "agility enhancement", "bow avoidance", "ergonomic specialties", etc. "Agility enhancement" is useful for archers and assassins, and "ergonomic specialties" are useful for life occupations. Who makes skeletons belong to the ghost clan?
What about universal migrant workers? "Bow and arrow avoidance" is more straightforward. It will definitely avoid 20% of basic long-range physical attacks. It ignores the attack power and only counts the probability. Moreover, as the subsequent levels increase, the specialties can be further strengthened.
This is a typical all-purpose talent. After all, mages are also very afraid of the rapid and continuous suppression of enemy archers, so you say that skeleton mages are not good at all? Not necessarily
Again, the system itself encourages various random combinations and a highly free game environment and gameplay. But whether you can become a strong player is a question for the player)
The evil temples, cemeteries, spiritual tombs, blood mansions, and cemeteries in the Plague City all have suitable "guardians", so it is really difficult to arrange where Inheim will go.
Let him go out and build his own territory?
Inheim was reluctant. After all, he still wanted to devote himself to studying necromancy and spirit-gathering magic, and dreamed of meeting Adela again one day.
Besides, Liu Yifei himself wouldn't feel too relieved if he developed it.
As Inheim said before, being bitten by a snake once and fearing the well rope for ten years is a problem that everyone will worry about...
It just so happened that he proposed to be the "chief" of the Magic Tower. When Liu Yifei thought about it, this was really the case!
Inheim was a human priest of light during his lifetime. Human priests are generally proficient in light and water spells, and they also dabble in the life system.
After becoming an undead, let alone death, you definitely need to understand darkness, fire, and earth magic.
Although some practical skills are no longer available, academics as individual "knowledge" will remain. Letting such a "knowledgeable" person be the "chief" of the magic tower is the best choice!
Moreover, asking the Chief Operator Lord Magic Tower to research new types of magic requires a large amount of extra money, but Inheim does this for free, only the basic fee is required!
Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, after Inheim remains "free", he will not completely obey Liu Yifei's orders, but only cooperates according to the agreement.
Inheim must ensure that he completes two territorial magic researches every month. In addition, Liu Yifei does not restrict his personal freedom. He can go out to exercise or collect materials, but Liu Yifei does not need to pay him a commission.
From this point of view, Liu Yifei will still need to find a full-time "chief" in the future, but at least for now Inheim is a good candidate.
Inheim himself was incorporated into the Plague City system, and at the same time, all his troops, that is, the more than 4,000 vampires, would be given to Liu Yifei as "shares".
These vampires were collected bit by bit by Inheim when he was wandering around the territory of Dickwell. It can be said that he has gathered most of the elite wild monster vampires!
All those with strength above the second level were absorbed by him, and he also tried his best to gather those first-level basic vampire monsters, so that he could gather such a large force.
And that three-headed bone dragon is nonsense, it is just a summoned creature. Liu Yifei originally thought that he would finally have his own bone dragon mercenary...
This group of "military forces" is definitely very urgent for Liu Yifei. Not only are they large in number and strong, but there are also some third- and fourth-grade middle-grade vampires in this group of vampires. What's even more deceiving is that this guy Inheim actually caught
He made the original three vampire bosses serve as his slaves!
However, his method was more ruthless, directly erasing the opponent's intelligence and forcing him to downgrade into three sixth-level vampires. Otherwise, Liu Yifei happened to keep a batch of soul crystal fragments in the warehouse in Plague City, which would soon give him more
Three spiritual level vampire heroes are produced.
But Liu Yifei has nothing to complain about. Anyway, he picked up the fighting power for nothing...
But in fact, it is not completely free. Liu Yifei will allocate 5% of Plague City's weekly income to Inheim as his "dividend" every week in the future. The minimum is 50,000 gold coins per week, and there is no upper limit, which is a guaranteed income.
5%, lasting for one year. After one year, all this military power will belong to Liu Yifei.
After careful calculation, Liu Yifei's "deal" was a loss, because the minimum amount involved was 600,000 gold coins. If Liu Yifei had accumulated it slowly by himself, four thousand vampires would not have been able to use so much money.
However, considering the grade and level of these vampires, this amount of money is barely enough.
However, in the future, 5% of the total weekly income of Plague City will definitely be more than 50,000 gold coins, so this price is floating, and it is not enough if Liu Yifei does not add more, because after the contract is reached, the money will be deducted by the system itself, unless Liu Yifei wants to do it for
A little money drags down the development of the entire Plague City.
Of course he wouldn't do such a thing
Military strength is indeed an important key that Liu Yifei cannot ignore!
However, the reason why he couldn't stand the temptation and agreed to cooperate with Inheim, and even ignored the "disputes" between Inheim and Toradre and even the entire Kingdom of Solna, was because Inheim also promised that Liu Yifei would tell him
The secret burial place of some ancient treasures... (To be continued...)
