Chapter 195: A New Plan
Although he got the information from the iron lock, Levi did not go to the destination immediately, but returned to the Drunken Pig Tavern, intending to replenish his troops, and besides, it was almost dark, so it was not a suitable choice to go out on an adventure at this time.
At night, the strength of him and his subordinates will be affected to a certain extent, while those monsters who are accustomed to living in the wild may be strengthened, and the loot is completely indistinguishable, and after the night battle, his subordinates will have to suffer the attribute penalty of lack of rest the next day, unless necessary, he really does not want to have any battle at night.
It's just that after returning to the Drunken Pig Tavern, Levi found that his plan might be frustrated again, because the tavern, which was originally quite spacious, is now full of laughter, and it is already full of dwarven novice players!
As before, their arrival once again attracted everyone's attention, no way, who made this a dwarven city?
If it was the southern country, where all races were very mixed, or the most famous trading port in the Old World, Marienburg, Levi would certainly not have encountered the current situation, because there are all kinds of races there, and the local residents have long been accustomed to this.
After rejecting the eighth dwarf player, Levi immediately became a little annoyed, he was not afraid of communicating with others, but he hoped that through communication, he could broaden his horizons, increase his knowledge, and help his future adventure life, and like these guys in front of him who wanted to hug their thighs, or directly reach out to themselves for equipment and gold coins, it was really a waste of his time.
Perhaps, I should really think about buying a house, so as not to have to bring troops to live in a tavern all day, and the price here is not cheap.
However, it also seems to be a good opportunity ...
After a short period of thought, Levi finally made up his mind, and he spread his hands evenly: "Everyone, please be calm, I'm Levi, I expect to establish a guild in a week, if you are interested, you can join me here in a week, and everyone can enjoy the fun of the game together." ”
In the end, he decided that within three days and five days, even for the sake of the dwarven beast trainer, he would definitely not leave the Black Stone Castle, and Sienna and their half-elf tasks could also be completed together, so he would buy a house here, and it would not be a waste to establish a guild by the trend.
And a week later, Levi also thought about it.
The dwarven players in front of them are all just joining the game today, and their own strength is very limited, and their knowledge is very limited, which leads them to have a blind fanaticism about Levi, who now seems to be very powerful, so they are so excited just now.
But this kind of performance is more out of an impulse, come quickly, go quickly, Levi doesn't want to take in 10 junior brothers today, after training them with resources and equipment, he will run 8 tomorrow, that is not enough for him to waste time and resources.
But if a week later, they have seen more things, and their strength and vision have also improved, especially if they have seen the helicopters and other troops in Blackstone Fort, they will not have this performance again.
If they are still willing to join Levi's guild at that time, it means that they will not be impulsive, then Levi will naturally raise his hand to welcome it, because this kind of person will at least not quit casually.
Levi didn't plan to form any super-large guild at the beginning, that's not his character, as long as there is a small group of relatively united people, and a force that is okay and will not be bullied by others casually.
After getting Levi's promise, although the dwarf players in front of him were still a little dissatisfied, Levi didn't care about them, and he didn't owe them, so he directly pulled over a more familiar waiter: "Open a private room for us." ”
After Levi left, many dwarf players discussed a few words at first, but quickly deviated from the topic, after all, for them, just now it was just because the other party was very strong and had a multi-race force, so they were so enthusiastic, but now that the other party has left, who still has that idle time, isn't it good to brag?
Entering the private room, Levi first let his subordinates eat and drink enough, and then let them all go to rest, but today there is no shortage of runaways.
As the waiter served dessert again, Levi stopped him and asked if there was any information about the natives in the tavern who could be recruited, it was so chaotic outside just now that even he didn't find a few aborigines.
After accepting a sizable tip, the tavern waiter whispered, "The warriors who used to stay here have almost all been recruited by the new Chosen Heroes today, but I know that there are still some warriors who have not negotiated for the time being because of the high asking price. ”
After saying this, the tavern waiter was silent, but made a gesture with his hand that Levi was very familiar with.
Li Weiston laughed and laughed, but he didn't expect that the old guy in front of him, who had a big beard and looked like Zhang Fei, would actually learn to take the opportunity to increase the price.
Well, it doesn't seem quite right to say that, if you look at it from a human point of view, the other party is a big beard, but according to the dwarf, the other party is probably still a young man, after all, Levi saw the dwarf with the longest beard on the street, that guy not only wrapped it around his waist, but even threw it behind his back as a cloak!
After giving the other party a fairly generous tip again, the waiter nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his head and ran out. In less than two minutes, 3 dwarves were brought back.
Levi's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the weapon in the other party's hand, because the weapon used by these guys was a relatively rare long-handled musket!
After a few words, Levi knew why they hadn't been recruited yet, because even though they were in the same Tier 3 class as the Infantry Attendants, their maintenance and recruitment costs were more than twice that of the Infantry Attendants, and that money was enough to recruit several Tier 2 troops, and their ammunition was an expensive consumable, so it was no wonder that they were left behind.
Those who are new to the game today, gritting their teeth and scraping together the money, may be able to barely afford to recruit a Dwarven Musketeer, but the maintenance and ammo costs are a bit too expensive for them.
However, this amount of money is not a big problem for Levi now, and he waved his hand and directly recruited the other party.
Name: Dwarven Musketeer
Gender: Male
Faction: Order-Nature-Dwarves
Race: Dwarf
Tier: 3rd tier
Maintenance fee: 6 gold per week
Attack 20, Defense 5, Health 45
Skill 1: Thundering of muskets, every time the dwarven musketeers attack, there will be a loud noise, which may intimidate other people who have little knowledge and are weak. Each attack has a 10% chance to inflict -1 morale on the target, stacks up to 3 times, and only applies to tier 0-3 classes.
Skill 2: Armor-piercing attack, special ammunition allows the dwarven musketeer to ignore the opponent's 3 armor when attacking.
Skill 3: Reload slowly, since the dwarven musketeers are using old-fashioned muskets, each reload takes a lot of time, and you can only attack at most once every 20 seconds.
Skill 4: Alternate Weapons, despite being armed with muskets, they are also good fighters, in melee combat, or when running out of ammo, Dwarven Musketeers can fight with alternate melee weapons, but their attack damage will be reduced by 50%.
(Muskets roar, enemies die, that's the romance of dwarven musketeers!) )
The attributes can be said to be quite gorgeous, but the skills are a little worse, although there are enough 4, but the only thing Levi values is the armor-piercing attack, and the other 3 are of little use.
Slow reloading is a negative skill, like the archers under the hunter John, it is absolutely fine to fire 6-8 arrows per minute, Sienna and their half-elves can shoot about 10 times, while the dwarven musketeers can only fire 3 times per minute, which is more than double.
The ability to melee energy looks good, but Levi won't let them fall to the point of activating backup weapons, and these valuable ranged units must of course be well protected.
Although the roar of the musket looks good, it can theoretically reduce the enemy's morale by up to 3 points, but the 10% chance is too low, and I am afraid that in the actual battle, 10 attacks may not be able to successfully trigger 1 time, but where is Levi going to find a 3rd order class that can withstand their 10 attacks?
But this still can't deny the strength of the dwarven musketeers, and in general, Levi thinks that they belong to the class that specializes in sniping bosses, and it is better not to use them in ordinary battles.
After asking the waiters to arrange a room for them to eat and rest, Levi let them go, and wait until tomorrow to see their strength on the battlefield, but judging by the data, their performance will certainly not be too bad.
Then it's Levi's own time, and he's finally having the time to think about what's next, he's been a bit busy lately.
The first is that he has decided to stay in Blackstone Fort for the time being, on the one hand, to kill enough greenskins to complete the task of recruiting dwarven beast tamers, and on the other hand, to complete the task of the half-elves.
Killing more than 1,300 greenskins is not an easy task, but it's not too difficult.
But after completing the revenge mission, Levi has to consider the problem of funds, because he also has to prepare some materials for the half-elves to build a village, wood and stone are not a big problem, 350 gold coins is a little troublesome, he has now gone through many harvests, and he has only saved about half of his body, and he also has to leave a part of the funds to pay for the maintenance costs and daily consumption of his subordinates.
It seems that he needs to come up with a way to make money as soon as possible, after all, he is just working hard alone, and there is no way to compare with a big guild like the Avengers, even if he forms a guild now, it will be very early before it comes in handy, and it would be good not to let himself have a blood transfusion.
After sorting out his thoughts a bit, Levi finally decided to try the spell that Orfini had given him—the Soul Shame Carving Technique.
After taking out some wood and steel, and a small pile of gold coins put together, Levi chose to use the skill, as his mana decreased, a bare human form appeared on Levi's retina, and a system similar to pinching face, but it looked very rough, the resources that could be used were very limited, and even the color was very monotonous, and there was a countdown next to it, he only had about 3 minutes to pinch his face.
Although it was the first time he had used this spell, it wasn't the first time Levi had played this kind of thing in the real world, and basically every game had this kind of function.
After 3 minutes, Levi breathed a sigh of relief, and the material on the table was suddenly reduced to a humanoid doll of about 20 centimeters.
It has a typical oriental face, dressed in a blue cloth coat, wrapped in a red turban, and holding a wooden spear in its hand, but based on its height, this spear doesn't even look as big as the chopsticks it uses for eating...
But no matter what, this is indeed a class that can be moved and attacked by Levi's own hands, and the Tier 0 class - Doll Shame!
Name: Doll Shame
Gender: None
Faction: None
Race: Soul Tremble
Tier: Tier 0
Maintenance Fee: None, each battle requires 3 mana points to activate, and can last for 1 hour after activation
Attack 4, Defense 1, Health 15
Skill 1, Construct, this unit cannot use conventional medicines or spells to restore life after being injured, and can only be repaired by craftsmen or special spells;
Skill 2, non-living form, this unit is not affected by normal negative states such as fear, anger, and frenzy, and there is no morale value;
Skill 3, Fire/Thunder Element Weakness, when attacked by Fire/Thunder Element, will take 3 times the damage.
(It's a peculiar class that has never been known to the general public, and it may be able to start a new genre, though it's very, very weak...) )
The appearance is okay, and the attributes are quite good at the same level, almost comparable to the weaker 1st tier troops, but considering the cost price of nearly 3 gold coins, it is a bit too much to lose, because this is enough to recruit 1 2nd tier troops.
However, Levi is very optimistic about the future potential of this skill, and the soul of the 0th order has already reached this point, and the 1st level is probably about to catch up with the ordinary 2nd order troops, which is a kind of army that can almost defeat the enemy across classes.
And it doesn't have any maintenance costs at all, it only needs mana to activate, although 1 hour doesn't seem like much, but Levi has entered the game until now, and the number of times a real battle has exceeded 1 hour is only a handful!
And really after 1 hour of fighting, the soul that can't use conventional medicines and spells to restore life is ashamed, I'm afraid it has already been dismantled by the enemy.
As for the fire/thunder elemental weakness, if the enemy is a guy who can use magic, then Levi would like the opponent to waste precious magic on such a low-level class.
But what Levi values most is not these, but his face-pinching function.
Come to think of it, even if it's just a Tier 0 doll to be ashamed, Levi pinched it to look like a spearman of an ancient Chinese dynasty, albeit a little smaller.
But once this skill is upgraded, according to Levi's guess, the function of pinching the face will definitely open up more options, don't dare to say anything else, if he practices this skill to the point where he can pinch out Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and the like, the guys from the Avengers Guild will definitely rush to send him money!
Or you can simply choose to pinch some two-dimensional cute kings or something, even if there is only one six or seven images, those otaku players will definitely grab their heads!
After injecting magic and issuing a few orders, Levi became more and more satisfied, although the puppet in front of him was ashamed to make no sound, and basically did not have any intelligence at all, but for his own commands, it was still able to receive it, which was enough as a subordinate.
Originally, Levi still had some concerns about buying a house and forming a guild in Blackstone Castle, but at this moment, he put all those worries behind him, and he had to buy a house, preferably in a strategically located place, and how long he could spend enough money to rebuild the village for Sienna and her family, it all depended on this!
