Chapter 154: Arena of the Brave
Soon, following in the footsteps of the Holy Maiden of Hilda, Levi saw a circular building next to the barracks that he had never seen before, which looked a bit ancient Roman style, and was guarded by a swordsman team and a sapper team led by two third-order infantry squires at the door, it seemed that the Holy Maiden also attached great importance to this building.
Levi noticed that the building had three gates, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Holy Maiden, this is... ”
Holy Maiden Hilda smiled: "Levi, this is the Arena of the Brave, these two gates are prepared for first-order soldiers and second-order soldiers respectively, and they will face different levels of enemies after they walk in. Of course, the dangers, the possible gains, and the amount of money they need to spend are all different. ”
"And the third gate," continued Hilda, after a pause, "is for the viewers, for example, us. ”
"I see." Levi didn't expect that the other party would further improve his proposal, and now this place has really become an arena, and if the saint wants to, it can even develop into a good income in the future.
Noticing Levi's somewhat surprised gaze, Hilda Saintess waved her hand: "Don't look at me with that look, arenas are very common in the knightly kingdom, if you go to the Champion Warrior Arena in our capital city of Koren, or the Sky Arena in Paraon, you will find that this arena is too simple." ”
Champion Warrior Arena, Levi can get a general idea from the name, it is estimated that only very powerful guys are qualified to enter, but the Paraon Sky Arena, is it possible to be all...
Hilda seemed to see Levi's confusion, and she smiled, "Well, that's right, Levi, as you think. The Paraon Sky Arena is built on top of a high mountain, there are no carved mountain roads below, and if you want to participate, or want to watch, you can either use magic to get there. Either you have to have a mount that can fly, or you won't even be eligible to watch the battle. ”
"Well, well, isn't it possible that the knights of the Dukedom of Pallaon are so powerful and so rich?"
The reason why it is said to be a knight is because after Levi has collected so much information, he has long understood a truth, that is, in the Bretonnian Knight Kingdom, except for believers in religions such as the Goddess of the Lake and the Death God Moore, the ruling class of the Knight Kingdom is all knights without exception, and ordinary people really have no status at all, let alone play such high-end things.
"Oh, that's not it," Hilda shook her head slightly, "but because of their proximity to the Grey Mountains, the largest and most well-known gathering place for birds and flying monsters in the entire Old World, they have an advantage over other dukedoms, as they have easier access to the Grey Mountains to catch flying mounts such as Hippogriffs, Wyverns, or Pegasus." ”
Gray Mountains...
Levi was thoughtful, because when the guard Davey took refuge with him, he seemed to say that the reason why he fell to Oak Village was because he had been to the Grey Mountains and tried to steal the eggs of a powerful flying creature called the Horned Eagle Beast, but in the end he undoubtedly failed, so he was recruited by himself by coincidence.
I've played with hot air balloons, hang gliders and the like in the real world before, but I've never ridden a flying mount, maybe this will be a good opportunity, riding them is definitely much more handsome than riding a normal mount.
It's decided, put it in one of the goals, and get a mount that can fly!
Levi secretly made up his mind, and saw the Holy Maiden of Hilda next to him laugh for a while, young knight, there are always such fantasies, but when you really enter the gray mountains and see those strange and powerful monsters, can you still maintain your current impulse?
"Alright, Levi, are you going to send your men to try it? I'm in charge of letting you experience it for free, but it's very difficult, and if your subordinates can't succeed in the challenge, their lives may be in danger, and you know, when they fight the enemy, we may not be able to take timely rescue. ”
But Levi didn't hesitate, and nodded in agreement, because he also wanted to know what the effect of this Brave Arena was, anyway, it was just a big deal to lose one of his subordinates, and now that he had most of the recruitment authority in Oak Village, it was not a problem to lose one or two ordinary subordinates.
"Alright, let your men enter through this gate, and we'll enter the spectator seats through the third gate."
"Okay, I got it."
After a slight glance among his subordinates, Levi chose a swordsman: "You go and try, if the situation is not good, retreat quickly, and give priority to saving your life." ”
The swordsman he had chosen had been following him for a long time, and although he was only an ordinary second-order soldier, unlike those soldiers who had just been recruited from the barracks, he also had a lot of combat experience.
"Yes, sir."
After saluting Levi, the swordsman strode in, and Levi followed Hilda into another passage.
After walking a hundred and ten meters along the slightly narrow and dark passage, my eyes suddenly opened up.
Levi found that his previous assumptions were correct, and it looked like an ancient Roman arena, with many stands around it, and it looked like enough for hundreds of people to sit and watch.
And below, the swordsman under his command has also stood in the middle of the field, but in the open space within a radius of about 100 meters, he is currently the only one, and now he is constantly looking around, and he doesn't seem to be panicking, just a little curious.
But soon he looked a little nervously to the southeast, because with the sound of an iron door, a guy who looked like a giant tadpole but only had a pair of short and thin forelimbs had already emerged from the dark shadows, it was a Tier 0 Swamp Leaper.
After seeing the human in front of him, the swamp leaping monster immediately jumped and rushed forward without hesitation, but because it was all flat here, it was very uncomfortable to live in the swamp, so the action looked very ridiculous.
The swordsman was still in good standing, but soon he realized that his opponent was really not good, so after dodging the opponent's attack, he unfolded his sword and launched a counterattack, and almost no effort was needed, and quickly eliminated the opponent.
Levi couldn't help but look at the Holy Maiden of Hilda, this is what you call danger?
Although he didn't say this, Hilda could read the subtext of the other party, and she smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Levi, it's just an appetizer, we need to make the soldiers who go in less nervous, and then get down to business." Normally, every warrior who participates in this competition will face three enemies, but it has to be said that this swordsman is indeed very lucky. ”
Levi shrugged, well, since Hilda Holy Maiden has already said so, then let's wait and see, if the three enemies are all such swamp jumpers, the difficulty of this arena is inevitably too low.
However, Hilda did not deceive him, and soon a door opened again, and a second-order swamp warrior armed with a crude weapon came out of it.
The swordsman's face suddenly became serious, although his intelligence level was not too high, but after following Levi for so long, he also knew that the enemy in front of him was not so easy to deal with.
Soon the swordsman and the swamp warrior two second-order troops fought together, you and I fought one at a time, although the moves were not flashy, but Levi still looked quite lively, it took about two or three minutes, the battle was finally over, the swordsman survived, and his opponent fell to the cold ground.
But this is not the end, just as the swordsman with many injuries on his body was fighting there and gasping for breath, another swamp man walked out, different from the swamp warrior just now, this is a swamp man with a short spear on his back.
Leeviston's expression was a little more serious, although the opponent is a long-range unit, but because of the opponent's special ability, it is not so easy to deal with, even if it is a swordsman in good condition in normal times, it takes a considerable degree of price to defeat the opponent, and the swordsman who is now in a seriously injured state may not be able to deal with it at all.
Sure enough, the swamp man was far away and threw a short spear at it, although the swordsman dodged in time, but his breath seemed to be even stronger, and Levi immediately shouted: "Retreat, don't hold on any longer!" ”
The purpose of the experiment had been achieved, and he had already seen the things here clearly, and there was no need to waste the lives of his subordinates in vain.
"Okay, Levi, I'm going to take back what I just said, this swordsman is not very lucky, he actually ran into two second-order troops in a row."
Hilda, unaware of the order, Levi saw two foot warriors with several swordsmen rushing out from below, escorting his swordsman away, while the swamp man was recaptured.
Levi breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Holy Maiden. ”
Hilda Saintess waved her hand: "No need to do this, Levi, I need to remind you again, this arena is very dangerous, if you defeat three enemies in a row, the strength of your subordinates will indeed become stronger, and the 2nd order class will almost certainly become the 2nd order elite, but if it is a normal time, there are no these foot combat attendants to help him out of battle." ”
In other words, isn't the process of the challenge disturbed by others? If it weren't for Levi's face, I'm afraid that swordsman would really be killed by the Swamp Man Yuanming.
Is that the case? Levi was thoughtful, but after telling Thanatoe to take care of the swordsman, he didn't forget to thank Hilda again.
"How's that, Levi, what do you think of this Warrior Arena?"
Although he asked, Levi could see that the other party did not seem to be very satisfied. To be honest, Levi wasn't particularly satisfied, as he felt as if his things had been wasted, and the uncertainty of the difficulty of the challenge was too high.
And Levi could feel that when he entered the arena, all the bonuses from himself on the swordsman were gone, and he could only rely on his own strength and combat experience to challenge, so that ordinary soldiers could not pass such a challenge at all, couldn't this difficulty be adjusted?
Levi confided his doubts to Hilda.
"Regulate? It's not impossible, I can adjust the number of challenges from three to two, but once the difficulty is adjusted, the reward of the challenge will also drop significantly, at least three times or so, before I can successfully advance from Tier 2 to Tier 2 Elite. It is also possible for soldiers with higher strength to break through, but it takes a lot more times, according to my estimate, it takes at least 5 to 7 times for the 2nd tier elite to break through to the 3rd tier. ”
"Ha, that's enough, how much does it cost three times?"
"Because of the power of magic, the village needs to consume some materials, the 1st level challenge requires 2 silver coins each time, and the 2nd level challenge requires 5 silver coins each time, this is the cost price, I didn't calculate the cost of magic and time consumed, and because it is driven by magic, the number of times the Arena of the Brave can be opened every day is limited, and if the difficulty is adjusted, the overall efficiency will be greatly reduced."
Without hesitation, Hilda's Maiden quickly said the relevant information, and it seemed that she had already calculated it.
"In other words, the cost of 3 Tier 2 challenges is only 1.5 gold? It's so cheap, even if it's priced at 5 gold, I think there will be a large number of Divine Chosen players who will accept it. As for reducing efficiency, you don't have the luxury to turn this on for the soldiers in the village, right? ”
"Of course not," Hilda shook her head without hesitation, and then she seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her move, so she went on to explain, "Because Oak Village is often attacked by wild beastmen, most of the soldiers have a fairly rich combat experience, and the reason why their strength is stuck at this stage is only because Oak Village does not have enough resources to support their advancement, and once Bastogne's reinforcements and supplies arrive, their strength will be further improved." , so this means will not be used in a short period of time. ”
Levi nodded, indicating that he understood, and it seemed that the strength of Oak Village would soon be greatly improved.
Seeing that Levi didn't misunderstand anything, Hilda's holy daughter quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she found that her behavior seemed a little strange, why did she care so much about what the other party thought of her?
Shaking her head slightly, the Holy Maiden of Hilda did not dwell on this question, but continued to ask, "Levi, you just said 5 gold coins?" Just to advance a Tier 2 class to a Tier 2 Elite? Will those God-chosen heroes really be willing to give up? ”
Hilda's Holy Maiden was still a little incredulous, because 5 gold coins was enough to hire two more Tier 2 troops in the tavern, but it was difficult for an ordinary Tier 2 elite to deal with 2 ordinary Tier 2 troops at the same time, even if they barely won a victory, it was only a miserable victory, and the gap in combat power between them was not so big.
Levi smiled slightly: "Of course, Lord Saintess, I can be 100% sure." ”
He is a player, of course he understands the minds of players, with a 2nd tier elite and with an ordinary 2nd tier troops, it is a completely different experience, and players have a bit of a habit of collecting and cultivating, and can make their subordinates stronger with their own hands, which most players simply can't refuse.
And the price of 5 gold coins is really not expensive, and the comprehensive harvest of clearing a normal difficulty Moore Garden dungeon has already exceeded this number.
"Well, well, since Levi's you said so, I'll make some adjustments later, it won't take much time."
"Oh? That's great, and if possible, I'd like to be able to see for myself the results of your adjustments, Your Majesty. ”
Levi wanted to continue to make sure, because he felt that Hilda didn't seem to realize the true value of the Arena of the Brave at all, and he was a little unsure if the other party understood what he was trying to say.
"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Hilda also understood what Levi meant, but she didn't feel too dissatisfied, because from the current point of view, the other party has indeed always been genuinely thinking about Oak Village.
Soon Hilda returned to the audience and motioned for Levi to continue.
Levi then planned to choose another subordinate who would follow him to fight for a long time, and go down to see if it was really as the saint said, after three battles, the 2nd order of the army will be advanced to the 2nd order elite, although he now has a 3rd order of troops, the combat effectiveness of the 2nd order elite is not as urgent as imagined, but one more is also good, anyway, the Holy Maiden of Hilda has already said, this time it is up to her to decide, it is a free opportunity.
But at this time, he had been silent, and several of his subordinates who were following Levi came out with a voice: "My lord, why don't you let me try?" ”
Levi looked back and found that it was the half-elf Kelly who had just joined his command, and the other party was looking at him with anticrative anticris, while her little friend, the half-elf Sienna, seemed to be very surprised and a little worried.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course, my lord," the half-elf Kelly straightened her sizable chest, "I've been stuck in strength for a long time, and if it's really as the Holy Maiden said, I think I'll be a very good candidate." ”
