Chapter 182: The First Expansion
The next day, when Levi re-entered the game, although he was still in the drunken pig tavern, he felt a slight change, as if he was more integrated into the game world, and everything in the eye seemed to have improved a little in detail, which was also part of the content of this update.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly at the official black technology, if he directly knocked a person unconscious and brought it into the game, and then removed those systems and data, I'm afraid that people who don't know it will even think that they have really crossed over, right?
However, after a little sigh, Levi didn't delay his efforts, because this game update is a major version update, and more accounts are officially opened, and the number of new players may surge in a short period of time.
And he also saw the video released by the Avengers Guild on the forum yesterday, and he also knew the reason for triggering this system update.
Although there is a big gap between them and Levi in terms of individual combat effectiveness, their numerical advantage is too obvious, and the village with thousands of low-level undead has failed to make any waves from beginning to end in the face of the collective power of the Avengers, and has been pushed all the way by them.
Even if it was the big boss who was obviously at least level 4, there was no way to face the encirclement and suppression of thousands of troops, and in the end he could only helplessly blow himself up, barely taking away dozens of enemies, which was considered to have earned some face for himself, but that's all, these injuries were a drizzle for the big guild.
And it is precisely because the Avengers leveled the undead village and purified it that they now officially have the first station in the entire game, and the branch leader of the Avengers even has the title of a lord, so it attracted this system update, and it is also the first big expansion of the game - Beastman Calamity.
Although the official did not reveal much information, just listening to the name, Levi can also guess a rough idea, there is no doubt that in the next period of time, the protagonist will be a beastman.
Unlike before, now it's the official shot of the game, officially putting the Beastman race on the opposite side of almost all other races!
In addition, there are many detailed adjustments after the update, Levi summed it up, roughly reducing the cost and difficulty of recruiting troops, increasing the way of recruitment, while reducing the difficulty of the game in disguise, it is also promoting the development of players as soon as possible.
Probably because Levi entered the game a little early today, his subordinates basically haven't gotten up yet, and Levi doesn't care, so let his subordinates rest for a while.
Yesterday they were all tired enough, although before they left, under the effect of rest and food, their health was restored to a relatively healthy state, but the continuous fighting was a great challenge for their spirit.
Walking straight down the stairs, Levi walked in the direction of the bartender: "Hello, a big glass of Bergman beer!" ”
Bergman beer is the most famous beer of the Bergman family among the dwarves, and it is said that it has now sold well throughout the Old World, whether it is Kislev, the ice and snow country in the north, or the mercenary city-states in the south, as long as there is a little more upscale, there will definitely be this kind of beer.
Levi tried it yesterday at the recommendation of Tetsuki, and then he immediately fell in love with this mellow and rich beer, although the price is not too cheap, but the taste is really good, and it also adds a buff to him that lasts for half an hour, which can increase his upper health limit by 8 points, which is also good.
With a "bang", a large glass full of bright yellow beer with a faint aroma was placed in front of Levi, Levi casually thanked him, and then he was a little surprised to find that the bartender in front of him was actually a dwarf woman.
Unlike Levi's previous expectations, although the dwarven woman in front of her is slightly strong, she is still a miniature version of a human woman overall, without the strong physique of a dwarven man, and she does not have a beard like the female dwarf in The Lord of the Rings.
Although she noticed Levi's gaze, the female dwarf didn't care, on the one hand, because she was not interested in human men at all, and on the other hand, as a dwarf woman, she had long been used to being surrounded by a bunch of eyes wherever she went, no way, who made her a rare dwarf woman~
After a while, Levi found that Tanato, Huamez, and the half-elves had come downstairs, and then the dwarven rock sheep cavalry that he had recruited in a hurry yesterday also walked down, followed by other troops, and dozens of people poured down together, but fortunately, the area of this drunken pig tavern was large enough, and this floor alone was close to a thousand square meters, and there was enough space for Levi to arrange for them to sit down and eat.
If it was that tavern in Oak Village, I am afraid it would be crowded directly.
After a little chat, Levi began to order food for his subordinates, he was not stingy at all, anyway, he just made such a large sum of money yesterday, now is the time to have money, and when he gave the dwarves an order, he also ordered an extra beer for each person, which immediately made the dwarves very happy, even the rock sheep cavalry who had just joined was no exception, because almost all the dwarves were drunkards.
Just as they were eating, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a fiery figure went straight to the direction of Levi and the others: "Levi, see what I brought you?" ”
When Levi looked up, he saw that the other party was Ironwood's uncle, Iron Lock Brute Hammer, and saw that he was waving a parchment roll in his hand, and his face was full of pride.
Levi first served the other party a Bergman beer as usual, and then took the parchment roll handed by the other party, and he realized that the Iron Lock Hammer had gone to fight for his own benefit yesterday, and this parchment was exactly what he needed now.
"Dwarven Friendship (Battle Treasure): This parchment scroll writes the friendship between you and the dwarves, and all the 0-3 dwarves under your command will not have a morale penalty due to different races with the same order faction, and it will take effect passively after carrying.
Requirements: Campaign level 3, and Dwarven reputation is at least neutral or above. ”
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Lock!" Leeviston's eyes lit up, the most valuable thing about this thing is that it doesn't need to be equipped on the body, it can be effective when it is put in a space bag, and it is not only with humans, but also with the troops of other order races, which can be said to be quite practical.
Iron Lock poured another big sip of wine, and then said very proudly: "Of course, this is the treasure I asked the patriarch to find, and I also told the patriarch everything, and now the patriarch has recorded the weak fang tribe of the Skaven rat people, as well as the two necromancers who attacked our ranger outpost, all in the book of hatred." ”
"As for the goblins and greenskins tribes who attacked Mage Ophini, since I don't know which tribes the other party belongs to, I haven't written it for the time being, and I need to check it out."
"The Book of Hate? What's that? "Levi was a little baffled, because it was another term he had never heard of, but it sounded a bit like jotting you down in a little notebook?
But Tetsuki, who was gulping down potato stew and drinking the soup, suddenly stopped and shouted excitedly, "Old fellow, did the patriarch really write them all into the book of hatred?" ”
"Is that still fake? Then our whole clan will have to deal with them until the hatred is gone. ”
Through the conversation between the two dwarves, coupled with the occasional questioning, Levi realized that this was a very special tradition of the dwarves.
Dwarves are very vindictive, so they don't forget the offenses and misdeeds of other races. Although dwarves generally report hatred in person, if there is no way to directly retaliate against some hatred, they will write it in the book of hatred and wait for the right opportunity.
Usually the Book of Hate is kept by the patriarchs of various clans, as well as the kings of various kingdoms, and the ink that writes the Book of Hate is not ordinary ink, but the blood of these patriarchs and kings, which is a very serious and important matter for them.
Even if the patriarchs die in battle and fail to take revenge while they are alive to quench this hatred, their descendants will work tirelessly to fulfill the last wishes of their ancestors.
Now that the patriarch of the Hammer tribe has written them into the Book of Hatred, it means that all the dwarves will do their best to retaliate until the enemy is destroyed, or their Hammer tribe is all dead, otherwise it will not stop.
Levi thought about the strong combat power of the dwarves for a moment, and then thought about the combat power of the ratmen he had seen in the underground world before, it seems that the weak tooth tribe will soon be completely removed...
"Bell~Bell~Bell~"
The slightly hurried bell rang suddenly, and the uncle and nephew who were chatting enthusiastically were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other and smiled: "Have fun again?" ”
"yes, I don't know which guys don't have long eyes this time, are they greenskins or goblins?"
"It's not going to be Skaven anyway, they don't have the guts."
"Wait, what's going on, does it sound like someone is attacking here?" Levi was also a little excited, the strength here in Blackstone Fort is so strong, the enemy who dares to attack here will definitely not be a cog, maybe he can go to the battlefield to see some high-level troops!
Temuhaha laughed: "That's right, the location of the Black Stone Fort is very superior, and there are many rich mines nearby, as well as patches of barley fields and mushroom fields, for those things, there are always people who don't have long eyes to come here to die, but their strength is usually very weak, so after the discussion between His Majesty the King and the Elders, it was finally decided that if the enemy is weak, the city defense army can not take the initiative to open artillery to slaughter them, but release a part of it, let the soldiers deal with it, just let everyone move!" ”
Although Tiesuo didn't speak, he just stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, obviously fully agreeing with his nephew's words.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Levi knew that he might have guessed wrong, they looked so relaxed, and the opponent was probably not a strong enemy, but anyway, he was idle here, so he just went to join in the fun!
"Okay, then you eat first, let's go after eating, I'll just go to the side to recruit a few subordinates." As he spoke, Levi jumped to his feet and rushed to the other side of the tavern, where dozens of dwarves were clamoring to go to war.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the evening to recruit his subordinates here, because even the dwarves who were addicted to alcohol would not all soak in the tavern during the day, they would have to go out and work, and they would gather here at night, and then Levi could better select his subordinates, such as the Rock Sheep Cavalry he recruited yesterday.
But now that the battle is about to be faced, Levi doesn't have much choice.
Soon, Levi successfully recruited a team of second-order dwarven warriors, they were also going to go out to fight, and after following Levi, they were not only able to participate in more battles, but even had money to take, how could they refuse such a good thing?
At this time, Levi's subordinates were almost finished, and he happened to rush to the direction where the bell came from with a group of people, and it was not the direction where Levi came, but the gate of the other direction of Blackstone Castle, which was the direction to the surface world, and it was also relatively open, suitable for large-scale battles.
After arriving at the place, Levi found that he had come a little late, and at the open city gate, there were already groups of dwarves rushing out cheering, looking at the various equipment on their bodies, they were obviously not formed regular troops, but private squads like Levi, but their scale was much smaller, and there were even many 1st and even 0th order troops.
However, this also shows from the side that the enemies outside the city are really not very good, and even these dwarves dare to go out of the city to take the initiative to fight.
Some dwarves also quickly noticed Levi and them, because the height of humans is still obvious here, not to mention that Levi's troops not only have humans, but also alliances with half-elves and dwarves, which is even more eye-catching.
A young dwarf who was different from the other dwarves and looked thinner couldn't help but ask the dwarves beside him, "Hey, boss, didn't you say that this is the novice village of dwarves, so how did they end up here?" ”
The other dwarf frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know about this, we just arrived here, and we were rushed to participate in the battle before we even figured out the south, south, west, and northwest, who knows who they are." But judging by their appearance, they probably will be high-level NPCs, right? ”
"Oh, I see."
Levi, who was passing by them on a war horse, was slightly stunned, NPC? This tone is definitely a player!
Feelings: These guys are not all natives of Blackstone Castle, but there are many players mixed in it? Blackstone Fort wasn't originally a dwarven novice village, was it just opened after this update? These guys are coming very quickly.
But this can also explain why the strength of these guys is so low, and there are not a few second-order troops.
However, Levi just glanced at it twice, and then continued to move forward, he didn't mean to talk to the other party now, there was no other reason, because the difference in strength between them was too big, and it was just a waste of time to rush together.
