Chapter Sixty-Nine: Ice Elemental
Isn't this the water element, and from the outside, it is still a fairly low-level water element.
However, after seeing the eight water elementals coming out of the White River in a row, Levi's expression became a little more solemn, and he immediately began to command his subordinates to fight.
He wasn't too worried about the strength of these enemies, because judging from the damage he had just suffered, these water elementals were only Tier 2 troops, and although it seemed that their attack power was slightly higher than the pig-headed inferior horned beasts he had encountered before, they were still far from the level of the Demon Swamp Crocodile or Shark Man he had encountered before.
But Levi soon found himself underestimating the other party, and the other party was still a little distinctive.
As Wallus fights with a group of halberders and water elementals, she finds that her weapon is met with great resistance after piercing her opponent's body, as evidenced by the numbers that appear above her head, and her damage to enemies is reduced by at least a fifth.
As for the other halberders, the other halberdiers were even weaker, and the archers did not do as much damage as they could have been, and although their arrows were able to hit these water elementals, they suffered considerable resistance in their bodies.
And since these water elements are almost completely transparent, after a little observation, Levi can clearly see that it seems that there is also a flowing water flow in their bodies, which greatly reduces the damage caused by arrows or other weapons.
But despite this, due to the difference in numbers, it took a little time for Levi's men to kill all the water elementals.
When the health of these water elementals was emptied, they instantly dispersed their bodies, flowing down the ground like real river water, leaving only a few finger-sized crystals on the ground that emitted an aqua blue light.
Levi bent down to pick it up, and found that it was not equipment, but a valuable item like the pearl dropped by the White River Fishman, which was exchanged for gold coins.
Primary Water Elemental Crystals: Crystals dropped by the Water Elemental, containing a small amount of elemental power, which can be exchanged for a small amount of money in the Shop.
Levi put the loot into his space bag, and then looked at the blue vortex not far away again, and after releasing these water elements, its appearance did not change in the slightest.
After thinking about it, Levi walked towards it again, anyway, the duration of the Fishman Ring had not been exhausted.
A worried voice sounded behind him: "Hey, Levi, what are you going to do, don't you see a monster in the river?" ”
But Levi just waved his hand without looking back: "It's okay, Huames, I want to see what that thing is." And even if there are monsters, don't I still have you? ”
The cold water touched Levi's body again, but until Levi's right hand touched the dark blue vortex, he didn't encounter any enemy attacks, and it seemed that those water elementals were all the guardians here.
"You've come across the Neutral Recruiting Building, the Elementary Flowing Water Altar, and you can recruit your minions for a certain amount of gold. Note: There are 16 minutes and 36 seconds left in the manifestation time of the Flowing Water Altar. ”
Then there was a rather rudimentary message bar, on which there were now two strands of rudimentary messages hanging alone.
"Flowing Water Element, Tier 2, Recruitment Cost 4 Gold, Maintenance Cost 1.5 Gold / Week, Current Capacity 4/10;
Ice elemental, tier 2 (elite), recruitment cost 8 gold, maintenance cost 2.2 gold/week, current capacity 2/2. ”
Leeviston's eyes widened, he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain here, he occasionally found a neutral recruitment building here, but this price made Levi a little painful, and this thing actually has a capacity limit, there are only 4 flowing water elements and two ice elements left in it.
The flowing water element should be the kind of enemy that Levi killed before, and the price is more expensive than the second-order swordsman, but it is still within Levi's tolerance, but the price of this ice element is too high.
Looking at the only single-digit gold coins left in his backpack, Levi chose the more expensive Ice element.
There is a time limit for the appearance of this flowing water altar, and I don't know if I will see it again, so let's choose the more expensive ice element, anyway, the strength of that flowing water element is about the same as the swordsman under his command, just a little more resistant.
Name: Ice Elemental
Gender: None
Faction: Neutral
Race: Water elemental
Rank: Tier 2 (Elite)
Maintenance fee: 2 gold/week.
Attack 13, Defense 1+4, Health 35.
Skill:
Ice Arrow, the Ice Elemental condenses the elemental power in the body, dealing additional elemental magic damage to enemies (stored up to 10 times, recovering once every 5 minutes, with a 30 second cooldown after each use)
Ice Protector, the Ice Element condenses the elemental power in the body, forming a layer of armor outside the body, passively increasing its own defense
(Ice elementals are advanced creatures of the Water elemental, which can use a limited number of ranged attacks, as well as melee combat.) )
After successfully recruiting the Ice Elemental, Levi was a little excited to test its combat power, although its attributes were not very good, but it was obvious that this guy was the first subordinate with magic that he had obtained!
But Levi soon noticed that the rest of his subordinates seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from the ice elemental, and the way they looked at it was clearly not looking at their own allies, but more like they were guarding against some enemy.
This is the same even for the hunter John and the warrior Davey, who have a higher intelligence level, with the only exception, probably only the Huame who is full of curiosity and tries to touch the other party twice.
"You don't need to be afraid, it's under my control now, and it's also my subordinates." Levi tried to reassure his men, but found it still useless.
Levi thought for a moment and opened the system panel directly, and then he got the answer from above.
"Ice Elemental (Neutral) joins your troops."
"Due to the large differences in factions and races, and the fact that you don't have the corresponding skills, all of your subordinates have -1 morale and slightly reduced attack speed and critical strike chance."
"Tsk."
Levi turned off the system panel with some displeasure. Although morale has always existed, he has never had the opportunity to seriously study it.
Now he knows that the morale value is actually related to the attack speed and critical strike rate of his subordinates, it seems that he can't leave this ice element, although its combat effectiveness is very good, but as long as it is in the team, his other subordinates will all reduce their attributes, which is completely irreparable.
Just as Levi was thinking about whether to try to sell it to the mysterious wanderer, or give it directly to the saintess of Oak Village, he suddenly noticed Hua Meisi on the side, after a short hesitation, she finally tentatively touched the body of the ice element, and looked very interested, not at all the uncomfortable and frightened looks of other subordinates, and she herself didn't seem to have the attribute of morale...
Recall what Wallmez said earlier, the conditions for her promotion to the official hero...
"Bloomes."
"Huh?" Hua Meisi, who was putting his little hand into the body of the ice element and feeling the rare cool feeling in the summer, was immediately startled.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Levi looking at her very solemnly: "Huames, I have decided to officially hand over part of the command to you, in order to achieve your heroic name!" ”
"Ouch, huh?"
