Chapter 16: Betting
The Tier 1 building in the Graveyard faction is the Graveyard, which can recruit Tier 1 skeletons. Ice City has upgraded the Graveyard to a second-level building, the Cemetery, which can upgrade skeleton soldiers to skeleton warriors. Of course, you can also directly recruit level 5 skeleton warriors, and the price is even a little more cost-effective than skeleton soldier upgrades, but players must be at least level 10 and reach level 1 strength.
When Lei Zhen arrived at the barracks, he realized why the flow of people in the city was so much higher in the morning than at dusk. It turns out that in the legend of heroes, whether it is a town barracks or a field building, the source of soldiers is refreshed in the morning. Moreover, the number of barracks refreshed every day is constant, and in the current state of Ice City, 500 skeleton soldiers and 50 skeleton warriors can be refreshed every day. Of course, if you have money, you can upgrade all skeleton soldiers to skeleton warriors immediately after recruitment.
Some players have been waiting at the barracks since early in the morning, fearing that they will be too late and will not be able to recruit the soldiers they need. But fortunately, the level of players is generally low now, and most of them can only recruit skeleton soldiers, and there should be still some skeleton warriors left, and Lei Zhen is not too worried.
When he came to the gate of the barracks, Lei Zhen was shocked by the scene in front of him. Under the gray sky, there seems to be no end in sight. The dense tombstones do not give people the feeling of horror, but reveal a kind of vicissitudes and silence. The spirits of the dead buried deep underground seem to express their reluctance and loneliness to the living.
At the gate of the cemetery, there are two rows of patrolling skeleton warriors, their eyes flashing with green soul fire, staring indifferently at passers-by.
When Lei Zhen passed by a skeleton warrior, he felt the soul fire of this skeleton warrior shake towards him, and this feeling was like being looked at. Lei Zhen guessed that his strength should have been seen through by this skeleton warrior.
Lei Zhen, who was about to enter the cemetery, suddenly found himself stopped by an arm, and the owner of this arm was a male orc warrior (Lei Zhen actually didn't understand, why did the orc warrior choose the cemetery camp, wouldn't the tribe be a better choice?). )。
"Boy, do you understand the rules!" The orc warrior spoke.
Frowning, Lei Zhen looked at the orc warrior. He is about 2.5 meters tall, has the face of an orc, wears a half-length armor of a skeleton warrior, does not wear a robe and hood (he is so tall, it is estimated that it is useless to wear it, it can be seen at a glance), and carries a one-handed battle axe.
"What rules?" Lei Zhen didn't say much.
"What rules? The kid is new here, right? Hahahaha! "The orc warrior seems to have heard something that makes him feel very ridiculous, and he is smiling with his mouth wide open." Tell you, in Ice City, our Blood Blade Gang is the rule, 500 skeleton soldiers, we choose first, we pick the rest before it will be your turn, you know? ”
"But I don't recruit skeleton soldiers." Lei Zhen said in what he thought was the most sincere tone.
"Why are you going in without recruiting skeletons?" The orc warrior said with some confusion.
"I'll recruit skeleton warriors!" Lei Zhen winked at the orc warrior.
"Boy, what the hell are you fooling me!" The orc warrior was immediately annoyed. "There is no one in the entire Ice City who has reached level 10, and our boss "Blood Blade" is only level 9 now! If you can recruit skeleton warriors, Lao Tzu can recruit a team of corpse witches! (Necroc: Graveyard Tier 5 class.) )
Suddenly, the orc warrior's eyes rolled, "Boy, today Lao Tzu made a bet with you, I will let you go in first, but if you can't summon a small team (10) of skeleton warriors to come out, don't blame our Blood Blade Gang for being too ruthless and bullying newcomers!" ”
The orc warrior looked at the more and more brothers around him, his expression became more and more arrogant, and he pointed at Lei Zhen and said word by word.
Lei Zhen didn't want to look for trouble, but he found that sometimes trouble always took the initiative to come to him, and after a while, he had been surrounded by people, and it was no surprise that it should be all from the Blood Blade Gang.
Lei Zhen knew that although killing people for no reason was not allowed in the city, there were many ways to disgust people. Looking at the posture of the Blood Blade Gang, it is estimated that it will not be good today. Therefore, it is necessary to stop them once and for all, otherwise there will be constant trouble in the future. "Okay, then I'll go in, but what if you lose?"
"Lao Tzu loses, you can do what you say! Make way for him! With a wave of his hand, the Orc warriors gave way to a passage. After Lei Zhen entered, he blocked the entrance of the cemetery again.
At this time, an elven player on the side said to the orc warrior: "Hall Master, what nonsense are you talking about with this kid, why don't you just find a place where no one is there and clean up?" ”
"You know!" The orc warrior had already put away his arrogant expression at this time, reached out and touched his nose and said slowly.
"Recently, there have been a lot of high-level players in Dry Cold City, and they have some opinions on the rules set by our Blood Blade Gang, although the boss doesn't care about these bad things, but we can't turn a blind eye. I happened to meet a new stupid boy, so I should make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and give those people a better memory! Remember, don't worry if he can recruit a skeleton warrior or not, and when he comes out, I'll surround him. Now the door is blocked for me, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and don't let that kid run away. ”
Speaking of this, a ruthless color flashed in the eyes of the orc warrior, and he knew from the beginning that he would never lose, because whether he won or lost this bet, he would ultimately have the final say.
Lei Zhen didn't know at this time that he was the first "master" to step into level 10 in his dignified heroic legend, and at this time he had been put on a show and treated as a "chicken". But even if Lei Zhen knows, he won't take it seriously, because in the end, it's too early to say who is the chicken and who is the monkey.
The environment in the cemetery was similar to what Lei Zhen expected, with dense tombstones inserted into the ground messily. At the entrance of the cemetery, there is a huge operating table and projection screen, on which you can view the information of the soldiers who need to be recruited, and make some operations on the recruitment of soldiers.
At present, the projection screen shows that there are 58 skeleton soldiers, and the skeleton warrior is full: 50. However, when Lei Zhen saw the recruitment price, he still inevitably "chuckled" in his heart.
The recruitment price for Skeleton Warriors is 40 gold, 50 gold for upgrading Skeleton Warriors, and 80 gold for recruiting Skeleton Warriors directly. Lei Zhen remembered that the bet he had made with the Bloodblade Gang just now was that Lei Zhen would recruit a small team (10) of skeleton warriors, but with Lei Zhen's current net worth, he could only recruit 2 skeleton warriors.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Lei Zhen is also a little waxy now, and going out empty-handed will definitely be despised, but even if you recruit 2 skeleton warriors, you can't win the bet, and 2 skeleton warriors will not help the current Lei Zhen.
