Chapter 127: The Shadow of the Sewers (I)
"Ulysses, are you going with us?" The team leader looked at Ulysses, who was dressed in black, with some suspicion, and his pupils suddenly doubled after noticing a mark on his shoulder.
"Six...... Level 6!!"
"Well, I made the cut not long ago. While walking, Ulysses took the time to go to the Wizards' Guild in Taji City, and received a number of black wizard robes with a new rank from the old wizard he was familiar with.
This simple black robe, which contains an air of mystery, even if there is no special magic on it, has become a favorite costume for Ulysses, who has long been accustomed to it.
This is a dress that can be worn on any occasion, and represents Ulysses's pursuit of his own beliefs—before he is not qualified to wear a white priest's robe.
He still remembered the incredible look in the elder's eyes when he cast the light magic unique to the sixth level. In fact, he is the only Level 6 Wizard from the Taji City Wizard Guild to have completed the certification in recent years.
The more advanced the magician becomes, the more difficult it becomes, if at least half of the ten talented fifth-level warriors can advance through unremitting efforts, then the chance of changing to a magician is not even one tenth.
Therefore, the spell-casting profession above the fourth level is virtually superior to the warrior of the same level, and the sixth-level light magician is already a rare species that can become a court magician of a country.
In fact, not to mention the sixth-level magic, if it was the newly comprehended ancient starry sky magic, Ulysses would definitely be able to get the seventh-level certification, but he was not willing to deceive others like that.
After all, he didn't possess a light-based treasure, and the power from the ancient starry sky did not belong to any treasure, but a gift from the opening of the soul gate.
"Scared, scared to death...... Ulysses, how do you cultivate. The team leader looked at Ulysses in a daze, if it wasn't for the chat just now, he was 100% sure that the Ulysses in front of him was the one he was familiar with, and he thought he had seen the wrong person.
Level six, and the rarest level of light, he didn't know about the other systems, but the light magic saved the lives of his brothers more than once when Ulysses fought alongside them.
At that time, Ulysses was only a fourth-level light magician, and he had already won the unanimous trust of the entire beast army, and the position of deputy head was almost waiting for him to agree.
Level six, this is already the highest force in many small countries, and the sixth-level light magician, he only sees Ulysses in front of him in reality.
He remembered that in a city as big as Taji City, the rank of the chief priest of the cathedral had only entered the sixth level in recent years, which meant that in the past few decades, the chief priest who was in charge of the entire church activities in Taji City was only at the fifth level.
A sixth-level light magician, as long as he passes the priest exam and practices again, I'm afraid he will soon be transferred to the country and region that needs the great priest the most, even if it is not impossible to become the chief priest of a country.
And he reached the sixth level at such a young age, but the meaning of the promotion of the old priest in Taji City was completely different. This means that Ulysses still has unlimited potential, and there is great hope for even entering that legendary realm.
There are no seventh-level powerhouses in Taji City, but there are a few in the entire Taya country, which is also the basis for the country's commercial prosperity and becoming Sophia's ally.
Ulysses, who is at the sixth level of the light system, may not be the strongest in Taji City alone, but as long as he says it, it is easy to immediately pull up a mercenary group that is several times stronger than the Beast Corps.
Truth be told, if Ulysses had that desire, even the squad leader himself would have been shaken. A magician who can use sixth-level light magic can bring a bonus to a team, which is not as simple as double.
Moreover, after entering the sixth level, the light magic will also begin to appear in the real combat lethal magic, as well as more powerful healing and support magic.
A sixth-level light magician may not be as powerful as a berserker of the same level, but when it comes to defense and protection, I am afraid that it can withstand the attacks of three warriors of the same level, and if it is a group battle, the value is even more precious than gold.
In fact, no mercenary group would have expected such a high-level light caster in their group. Because of the situation that the Supreme God Cult almost unified the beliefs of the continent, almost without exception, all light magicians of this level have been transferred to become priests.
The Supreme God Cult, which has unlimited financial resources and a combat system covering the continent, does not need these extremely rare light geniuses to make money as mercenaries, and it is too late to protect these seedlings, how can they be willing to do dangerous work.
In terms of combat, it is natural that there will be a paladin and the armed profession of the church to be in charge, and the profession of a priest is no longer actually a combat profession, but represents a certain noble faith. If it is not a last resort, it is impossible for the priest to go to the front line of battle.
A light mage like Ulysses, who has advanced to level six, will be warmly welcomed even if he goes to the capitals of the three major powers, so why do you need to go on a mission like cleaning up sewer monsters with a rough mercenary like them.
"Level 6, do you hear that!"
"It's really sharp, the head of the regiment is too accurate. ”
"If our regiment has such a deputy commander, there is no doubt that it will be the first in the city, and we will definitely be able to earn more commissions in the future. ”
"Ulysses, congratulations, you will be the highest-level light mage in the city from now on. ”
Although they did not understand the peculiarity of Ulysses' current identity as deeply as the squad leader, the orc warriors who were familiar with Ulysses were unanimously happy that their friends had been promoted.
"Thank you, I should go to the underground with everyone this way, and I won't hold you back. Ulysses smiled.
After spending too much time with his companions in the Apostolic Order, he almost forgot that in the eyes of ordinary people, level six was already the highest force in the world of ordinary people. For the vast majority of people, a seventh-level powerhouse is just a legendary figure, and he basically lives in another world.
Almost half of the seventh-level powerhouses in the entire continent are gathered in the church and the magician guild, each with its own concentration area, and an idle seventh-level powerhouse in an ordinary small country is already enough to boast about.
"Where, now it's a question of whether we're going to hold you back, and if you come, you'll be of great help. "The squad leader's words are definitely not an exaggeration, the bonus of a sixth-level light magician to a team is even more than that of three sixth-level warriors.
A mere figure who clears the sewer monster, with a strong support like Ulysses to join, is already completely overkill.
"So, let's get rid of that sewer monster quickly. "Ulysses won't be in the city for too long, so hopefully this problem will be solved sooner rather than later.
"Alright, bastards, let's go!" the squad leader whistled and gathered the team members who were secretly drinking and eating meat in the tavern.
"Speed, let Ulysses see the strength of the first squad of our Berserk Legion, don't lose the face of the leader!"
"Drink!"
"Hah!"
"Yo!"
With a roar of mid-spiritedness, the first squad departed, and Ulysses walked leisurely at the rear, beginning to think about what kind of enemies they would encounter in this mission.
Likes to stay in dark and damp environments, has tentacles, attacks humans but doesn't kill people...... Ulysses slowly pieced together a vague outline in his mind, a wriggling, transparent creature covered in slime.
"Slime?" Speaking of slime and tentacles and sewers, Ulysses naturally remembered one of the lower monsters that most often found in the sewers.
When he first arrived in Taji City, he also practiced with these low-level monsters that he couldn't kill no matter how he killed, which was one of the few low-level monsters that he could easily kill with a fourth-level light magician.
Slime, tentacles, and basically not attacking humans are all in line with these characteristics, but the speed of slimes is super super super slow, and even human children can use a small bow to fly this kind of monster kite, and its attack method is just to spit acid.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that these creatures are so fertally so strong that they often clog the sewers, no one would be interested in them. There is no material on them that can be used, and killing them only quickly turns into a puddle of slime and then decomposes itself.
Perhaps, it is some kind of special variant, even the weakest monster population, and such a special individual occasionally appears. I remember reading it in a book that slimes have a 1 in 100 million chance of evolving into a golden slime, and there seems to be a special entity higher.
"Okay, it's here, put on your gear. While Ulysses pondered the true face of the enemy, the squad leader had already found the entrance to the sewers.
"Equipment?" Ulysses watched as the orc warriors around him quickly put on their airtight rubber clothes, as well as an ugly mask that jutted out of the front like a pig's nose.
"Ulysses, wear it too, it's a special gas suit and mask. The team leader gave Ulysses an identical set of equipment, and told the purpose of the equipment in a deep voice through the mask.
"No need. Ulysses had already smelled the strange smell of the sewers and understood the purpose of the outfit, but he really didn't need it now.
"Star Ring. After the short syllable, several small soft balls of light flew around Ulysses, forming an aura that automatically shielded poison gas and bad taste, while also illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"Good thing, it's worthy of being a genuine sixth-level light magician, and we can save a lot of worry with you. The squad leader gave Ulysses a thumbs up, then whistled:
"Operation Raccoon, begin. ”
