Strictly speaking, Xuelan didn't gain anything substantial from going to the human race this time. Apart from a fairly considerable amount of experience and wealth, she didn't gain anything that needed special attention.
However, Inheim, who was not too active during the whole process, may not be as good as Liu Yifei in his actual gains this time~
The so-called "Heart of the City" obtained in the Talembel Mountains has not yet been shown to Liu Yifei for Liu Yifei to take a look at.
At that time, after this guy ran away, there was actually a few minutes of missing time between when he came back. Liu Yifei really didn't know if he had any different tricks or tricks, or if he had any other gains~
[At that time, someone was busy moving books crazily, but based on what was gained that time, the value of the library in Plague City has leapt to a completely different level]
Later, when we arrived at the Eagle Heart Imperial Capital, based on that guy's "seniority" and "qualifications", just by looking at how he scolded Tefler as if he was scolding his grandson, you can tell how much power this guy has...
Or maybe the fact that Tefler was so respectful at the time was inseparable from the fact that he asked Inheim for important matters, but it was precisely because of this that Inheim had more room to move, didn't it?
After all, Liu Yifei was not present at all when the "Sacred Code" was repaired later. Did this guy get any more benefits? Also, Liu Yifei has not seen the legendary equipment that was directly given to Inheim in the promise~
Another example is that after Inheim and Xuelan went to the "Historical Relics" together, Xuelan got rid of them after three or two turns!
Xue Lan told Liu Yifei about this in private at that time, and Liu Yifei was very dissatisfied!
Because this almost proves that Inheim is definitely brewing some ulterior conspiracy behind the scenes...at least it's a plan that he doesn't know about!
So during this trip to the human race, of course Liu Yifei got a lot of amazingly valuable rewards, and even got several super powerful trump cards [Serasto, Holy Dragon Spirit, Soul Resurrection Pearl, various legendary equipment, etc.
】, but at the same time, it also exposed the fact that there was a huge hidden danger lurking around him!
Whether the cooperation with Inheim is a blessing or a curse is still unfathomable...
In the days after returning, Liu Yifei seemed not to care about all the affairs in the territory and left them to Xue Lan and others to take care of them~
But in fact, he has been carefully thinking about the longer-term plan in his heart.
The upgrading of the territory, the composition of the army, the relationship between the local guard and the "Knights" that will inevitably be established in the future, the large-scale invasion of the elves at the door of Private's home at some point, and Heim's unpredictable intentions...
....There is even an upcoming "fight" with Gregory...
That was the agreement Liu Yifei and Sandro made half a year ago.
The agreement stipulates that Liu Yifei will have a fair and just duel with Gregory in half a year at the latest. If he wins, Liu Yifei will naturally enjoy the worship of Gregory as a strong man, but if he loses...
.Then we must give Gregorian freedom and let him stay~
This matter has been delayed again and again, and finally it has reached the point where it is just around the corner.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yifei walked around twice and it was mid-May. And by the end of June at the latest, the issue between Liu Yifei and Gregory will be decided...
"Hey~~~"
Silently thinking about the various thorny problems around him, Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead with a headache~
In those stories, the protagonist can easily become the king and dominate, and then he can enjoy the gentle land, be free and at ease, and do all kinds of things that make the gods envious...
"Turns out it was all fucking fabricated!!!"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but sneered~
It is true that he has won the supreme title of "The Uncrowned King" among the players, and his strength is indeed worthy of this glorious title, but the question is... why is the trouble around this damn thing getting more and more...
Too much???
Although there are various powerful allies and subordinates around him, they are constantly sharing the pressure on Liu Yifei's shoulders.
But Liu Yifei still felt that the pressure on him was even greater at this moment...
Damn it~
When did he, a little player lord, start worrying about such a terrifying problem as "faction war"?
Like an all-out conflict between the tower clan and the dungeon!
This terrifying super battle has been going on for months!
So far, almost 70% of the entire Kingdom of Mercury has been destroyed! The remaining 30% is also scarred and devastated~
It can be said that no matter whether the underground city forces can be completely driven out in the future, the Kingdom of Mercury is truly "destroyed"...
Although their royal family is still there, and it will be possible to rebuild the country in the future, the hardships, energy, and property required...
Liu Yifei's balls hurt just thinking about it!
Such a problem must be something that only a king-level power should be concerned about, right?
But the key problem is that Liu Yifei has already "reminded" Toradre!
However, it may be that the authority has not been reached or the key core has not been touched. Toradre still casually said that such worries are purely unnecessary...
Damn it~~~
Liu Yifei obviously obtained accurate information!
This mentality of knowing something is going on but not being able to trust others... just fucking sucks!
The more serious problem is that once a war breaks out, Liu Yifei, the "domestic lord", will obviously not be able to escape!
He won't even think about escaping~
After all, territory upgrading still relies on military merit. No matter how difficult the situation is, he can only force himself to fight for it!
But after all, it is much easier to fight against the wind, and if Xiangtalou is suddenly caught off guard by the opponent...
Damn it!
Fighting against the wind is just taking human lives to feed into the meat grinder of war!
Liu Yifei really didn't want all the combat power he had finally accumulated to be used in the attrition war with the elves...
"Hey~ This is the tragedy of a little person who is neither good nor bad.
Knowing too much... is certainly not a happy thing~"
He laughed helplessly to himself, and when he looked up, he had already arrived in front of the Lord's Magic Tower. Immediately, Liu Yifei stopped worrying about other trivial matters, and instead concentrated on thinking about Inheim's intention to see him this time...
...
"Lord's Magic Tower" is a high-end building that can only be built in the third-level territory. Needless to say, its own value has exceeded the limit of the number of magic in the original stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. As long as the lord is strong enough and has enough financial resources, he can pass it.
The number of lord magic in the tower can be continuously replenished through various methods such as purchasing, exchanging, and hiring senior wizards to conduct research.
Needless to say, the value of the lord's magic. It is absolutely the best help for the officers at all levels in the army to save their lives and attack! It will definitely turn the tide when necessary!
Liu Yifei is quite lucky~
The original third-level magic tower had been vacant for a long time, and a suitable "chief mage" could not be found to occupy it. He was definitely lucky to meet Inheim, a powerful spellcaster who is proficient in the two powers of death and light!
But it has been several days since this "lucky" entered the Lord's Magic Tower!
During this period, they even used their authority to directly seal the entire magic tower. Even Liu Yifei, the "lord", was not allowed to enter, which really made Liu Yifei feel uneasy~
Now I went in again to take a look...
"Hiss~~~"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but gasp!
When the lord magic tower is built, the player lord will be given two magic spells at first, but usually they are "dispel" and "magic bullet", which are basic first-level magics that cannot be more basic.
Liu Yifei has been dealing with lords big and small all over the place. After several months of hard work, he originally had only thirty or forty lord magic ranging from one to three levels, but now that he looks at it...
.
This number has almost doubled!
The number of first-level magics at the lowest level alone is no less than thirty!
And what's even more astonishing is... the ashes of death, the evil sense of defeat, summoning spirits... these are all skills that Liu Yifei has never seen or even heard of before!
Either it's a new type of magic that Inheim has personally researched in the past, or it's a rare skill that he cherishes very much. In short, Liu Yifei has never seen it~
Just when Liu Yifei was eager to take a closer look at the description of the functions of these magics, a faint voice came from the side~
"Oh? Master Liuyun has arrived?
I'm so sorry~
I was still busy with the experiment at hand just now, so I failed to come out to greet you, but I was negligent."
Surprisingly, Inheim had appeared behind Liu Yifei at some point.
"Um...Inheim...Sir, this...these newly added magics are all your masterpieces?"
"Haha~
Mr. Liuyun is so polite~
Now that I am your advisor, you don’t need to call me ‘Sir’, just call me by my real name~
You are right, these are exactly the magics that I have entered into the memory core of the Magic Tower in recent days.
I guess no one has been here before, right?
It looked relatively primitive to me, so I made some things first. After all, I am also your chief mage now, so I can't do anything if I don't do something serious.
Of course~
These are all minor issues, compared to what I want to talk to you about today, they are completely worth mentioning~"
"Oh. Right~
I don’t know...Master Yinheim, haha, I don’t know what Master Yinheim meant when you came to me today..."
"Lord, please follow me~"
Accompanied by Inheim, Liu Yifei had a good time wandering around the first, second and third floors of the Magic Tower.
I have to say that it is indeed necessary to find a powerful chief mage for the Lord Magic Tower!
After the upgrades and improvements in the previous game version, the application of the so-called "Lord Magic" on the world map has slightly changed.
That is, players can learn unlimited skills as long as they have a lord level and meet the lord magic learning requirements. The characteristic of this type of magic is that it can be cast quickly, even super moves like "Thunder Bomb" and "Doomsday Judgment". Or
Powerful attack skills such as "Meteor and Fire Rain" and "Continuous Fireball" do not require any time to hold the spell at all. They can be used at any time. They can be commanded like an arm.
However, after the version update, the requirement for using this type of magic skill became "the player must be in the leadership position of the legion on the world map", that is, no matter how small the official position is, he must be an official to use "Lord Magic".
And if you want to be this official, the player must have at least one mercenary in hand!
Or he was the leader or deputy leader of a mercenary group, and he was in the process of forming an internal team at that time.
In short, due to the large-scale proliferation of lord magic in the early days, we have slightly strengthened the control here~
But even so, Lord Magic is still extremely maneuverable and practical!
For this reason, many players who have learned good lord magic even spend money on the world map to buy pure cannon fodder-level mercenaries such as skeletons and zombies with them, just to be able to carry them with them during normal leveling and the like.
Use lord magic to assist attacks.
For ordinary players, there is definitely a market for practical, powerful or "novel" lord magic. Even if it is just the first, second and third level rare lord magic created by Inheim, it can be used for many people.
Players create a powerful attraction!
For example, Liu Yifei can set some conditions, such as helping the territory to accumulate local reputation and contribution. After meeting certain conditions, he can enter the tower to learn these lord magics. For ordinary ones, he can learn 30 or 50 gold coins, and for rare ones, it can be doubled! Every time you increase the level,
The price of lord magic continues to double!
Anyway, after you teach these things to others, it is impossible for others to teach them to others. It is completely a good business to make money by sitting on your hands!
In the past, Liu Yifei had no advantage in doing this, but once other people's Lord Magic Towers were built, the prices would inevitably drop, but this would be different!
Inheim gave him the capital to make an "exclusive deal"!
It is not just a matter of the price of learning magic, but also the "contributions" made by others to the local area in order to meet the requirements of learning, which are great wealth!
After adding up, it becomes the hidden income of the territory!
Just after walking around for a while, Liu Yifei had countless ideas of making money in his mind!
I have to say... There are indeed too many ways for senior lords to exploit the poor people! Liu Yifei has an increasing tendency to transform into a vicious capitalist...
Under the leadership of Inheim, Liu Yifei finally came to the "fourth floor" that should not exist in the first place.
This is actually the spire of the entire Lord's Magic Tower. It was originally just a vacant attic, which can be used to add various defensive arrays in the future to consolidate the territory's defense power.
However, in the past few days, it was actually converted into his private research laboratory by Inheim. Liu Yifei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As soon as he entered here, Liu Yifei's attention was attracted by a huge... something special that looked like some kind of strange ore, or a huge lead-gray "seed"!
This thing was huge in size, Liu Yifei estimated that it must be... at least four or five cubic meters in size. It exuded a faint purple starlight and slowly floated and rotated in the air.
"This is..."
"Sir, this is the 'Heart of the City' we found in the devil's stronghold in the Talembel Mountains.
I have been studying this thing for the past few days, hoping to activate it.
It’s a pity that this thing fell into a ‘sleep’ state after leaving that underground stronghold, or in other words, after leaving the energy supply of the previous ‘functional core’. No matter how I tried, I could never unlock it.”
"This is the 'Heart of the City'? This is the first time I've seen it... By the way. What's the use of this thing?"
"Report to your lord~
Any territory will have its core so-called ‘urban foundation’.
The city's foundation can be regarded as the most important in the entire territory and must be protected.
Once this 'foundation' is destroyed by foreign enemies, it means that the entire city will fall, and various activities that can be carried out in the original territory will stop producing functional buildings.
The "heart of the city" can be said to be an advanced version of the "city foundation".
Or... it can be said that this is the biggest difference between the so-called 'Holy City' and ordinary territories!
As long as any territory develops to the 'city level' and is catalyzed by certain 'means', it can give birth to local 'territory characteristics'.
For example, sir, the characteristic of your plague city is ‘plague’.
This kind of territorial characteristics will also evolve as the territory level continues to increase.
For example, sir, the characteristics of your plague city should be 'plague' at the beginning, and after it is upgraded to a medium-sized city, it will be the current 'plague land'.
Ordinary territories, even if they continue to be upgraded to higher-level large cities, cannot have this characteristic change twice, but the Holy City can~
For example, sir, if your territory is upgraded to level six, the characteristics of the territory may be upgraded to 'Heart of Plague'. And if you can turn this place into a capital-level existence through some means in the future, it is even more possible to upgrade it to level 6.
Super special effects of 'Plague City'!
The so-called 'holy city' is precisely because of this powerful territorial effect, an advantage that ordinary cities cannot have!
Just the 'center' level special effects are far more powerful than ordinary 'regional' special effects!
It can even... allow you to create a real plague army!
And this independent existence, taken from the "heart of the city" of other cities, means that the previous territory was once a holy city, and as long as we can activate this "heart of the city" and choose a suitable place, we
You can create a new holy city out of thin air!"
Hiss~~~
As soon as Inheim started, Liu Yifei was so shocked by what he said!
Damn~
What's going on recently? Good things happen one after another. When did the "Holy City" start to become worthless and useless?
In a short period of time, there was another holy city...
