The gods of the world of Ao are said to be very generous in rumors, but which god is not meticulous?
The 6-point tactics are used to summon neutral creatures, at most summoning some ferocious animals.
Feral creatures are larger, more aggressive and more resilient versions of regular animals. They typically have the appearance of prehistoric beasts.
For example, at 6 oclock, you can exchange for two violent snakes under your command. This kind of challenge level is less than 20 levels, and the black iron stage is also the peak. For old hands like Raven, its just a matter of one knife and one snake.
Leiwen was a bit disappointed, but soon came to his senses. He wasnt a follower of the Red Knight anyway, and hadnt given them any benefits, so he couldnt expect the Red Knight to spend a large amount of divine power to help him summon a giant dragon to clean up the scene.
The Red Knights meaning is also very clear: you want me to make an effort, right? Come on with more brilliant strategies and predictions!
In the exchange list, many summoned beasts are overvalued. Because they need to be directly summoned from an environment with a larger gap, the more divine power is consumed.
The town of Aro Tree where Leiyin is located is still surrounded by green trees, and it becomes a near-desert landscape when approaching the Shadow Valley. Normally, summoning monsters that live in the desert would be more cost-effective.
Lei Wen didnt plan on doing this.
He had his eyes on something even better - the War Gods Inspiration, which required 20 strategy points to exchange. This one-time divine skill could provide a +5 bonus when Raven persuaded neutral monsters.
The pieces on the Red Knights Stratego board are limited, with 8 pawns, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 2 rooks, 1 queen and 1 king.
Levin needs 14 points, which means the knight of the horse is eaten up. If Alison doesnt send reinforcements, it means Levin has to focus on the elephant and chariot at least.
Struggling to recall everything about Erison, Raven continues the business of betraying teammates, or rather, former teammates.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, not the systems prompt tone, but the Red Knights divine revelation, an ethereal and spirited metallic voice echoed in Ravens mind.
At the moment he heard this voice, for some reason, a female general wearing a fiery red full-body armor riding on a majestic warhorse emerged in Ravens mind.
It seems as if there are two armies fighting on the open field in front of me, with the smaller side constantly using flexible tactics to split and encircle the enemy, making use of every advantage of the battlefield, gradually leading their troops to victory...
"Whoa! Youre quite the bold kid, but getting a strategic point above bishop isnt that easy. Its not just about predicting correctly, you also need to thoroughly crush your opponents strength and offer it as a sacrifice to me."
"Is it an offering?"
"Right! A strong warrior who died in a plot is the best offering for me."
Raven didnt see the apparition of Red Knight, but he seemed to see a sly curve at the corner of Red Knights mouth, and felt that Red Knight had determined that he possessed some kind of prophetic ability, so he added his request.
But it makes no difference to Raven.
Erlison must die!
"Very well, Honorable Red Knight. You will see a reversal of overwhelming force."
"Im waiting..." The Red Knights voice faded away, and that ethereal echo still lingered in his ears.
Closing his eyes, Raven thought through the details carefully, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become firm and profound.
Eryndor may have mastered many divine spells, but at heart he is still a merchant, and for now, like Raven, he has not unlocked the power of shadow energy, making him merely a merchant who knows some divine magic.
His meticulous calculation style, combined with his inadequate estimation of the shadowy terrain, made it impossible for him to gain an advantage in areas like Shadow Valley where things changed constantly.
Raven had never been to Shadowfell Valley, and in the strict sense of the word, it couldnt be considered his home turf. But whenever it came to places involving the Shadowfell plane, no one under Shrieks command could possibly know more about that deadly dance between two planes than Raven did.
Thats his confidence.
The city of gold was too familiar to Elronds eyes, but Arroths town was different. Relying on his memories from the previous life, Raven easily found a local black market merchant who actually worshipped Lady Sharil, Sharil and Shyrick were two gods that didnt get along at all.
There Raven bought a set of white plate armor with black iron trim. This suit of armor gave Raven less than 20 points of protection... which was better than nothing.
What surprised Raven the most was that he actually found a copy of【Color Change】in the merchants hands, which was not the castrated simplified version of the spell that could only be used with the magic net, but the oldest original version of the spell. Although the incantation for casting the spell had as many as 83 syllables, this did not deter Raven. After all, it was this original version of the spell that would not cause him to lose his ability to cast the spell when the magic net collapsed during major changes in the world.
Good things are expensive, and black market merchants swindled Raven out of two divine gold coins.
Raven can disguise himself as a novice human wanderer. Dispel magic below 5th circle cannot affect Ravens color-changing technique.
This time, Raven transformed himself into a human youth of about sixteen years old through disguise and makeup. Wheat-colored skin, with a large patch of freckles around the nose, high nose, very ordinary eyes, thick eyebrows. Under the cover of disguise, the pointed ears representing the elf bloodline became round ears.
After getting everything ready, Raven changed both the horse and the carriage.
It takes at least 4 days to rush from Arro Tree Town to Shadow Valley day and night, Raven doesnt plan to rush. Because there are many ways faster than land travel, such as hiring a Griffin as a mount. This golden-tiered, eagle-headed lion-bodied giant bird of prey can reach the outskirts of Shadow Valley from the Golden City in just half a day.
Raven had thought of using the Griffin to leave the Golden City, but then he thought that Elrond would only need to move his hands and feet a little, and the Griffin would take the passengers as snacks on the way, Raven was chilled.
Of course, all of this is still within Ravens budget.
He thus set out alone on his journey to the Valley of Shadows, with a steady and unhurried pace.
On the other hand, that night, in the Golden City Auction House, Allisons face was so gloomy that it seemed like ink could flow from it if water were splashed on it.
Pure White Frost Dance has been lifted out of the sky price.
A low-grade shortsword, just because it had the three words "Floating Island" as its annotation, saw its auction price rising steadily. The constant bidding voices were even more annoying than the cries of the earth elementals.
"115,000 gold coins!"
"1.5 million!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
The auction began anonymously, with the major bidders staying in well-sealed, low-level magic detection-proof boxes, and no one knew who was who.
Since the priest of Gond, god of smiths and craftsmen, invoked his divine name, hoping to cow the crowd, things immediately went awry.
A large number of divine priests jumped out, and in the end, the backstage boss was not a powerful god with strong divine power, and the gold master did not dare to openly quote prices.
Given that Shilique is now just a medium-powered deity, Elrond can only pretend to be a grandson from head to toe, not daring to reveal his identity, and with a hard scalp, he endured the tyranny of the gods and the churches of the three major main gods of dwarves, halflings, and beastmen, and finally got [Pure White Frost Dance].
The price is a full one million gold coins.
Eryndor Thorne was about to go mad. It wasnt that he couldnt afford the money, its just that compared to his previous expectations, this was absolutely a waste of money!
He doesnt know yet that someone has already switched it inside, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood on the spot!
This is because the first treasure map fragment related to the floating island has just appeared on the mainland of Aocheng, and various forces are not very sure about it.
If the major forces firmly believe that this is a good thing that their own gods urgently need, such as the map fragments of the floating continent after No. 18, the price can be casually quoted in tens of millions.
The City of Gold has no secret temple of Sharrak, and the Church of Wealth generally allows any church to preach and gather followers in the City of Gold as long as they pay. This generally does not include Sharraks murder cult.
No choice, Ellison had to send his most loyal subordinates with half of the men to escort [Pure White Frost Dance] to the nearest altar. He himself led the main force, and in one breath, he surrounded all the Griffin Lions in the Golden City, flying straight to the Shadow Valley next to Salice Town overnight.
"Has the word gotten out?" Ellison asked.
The old thief Vanderfa next to him bowed his head and replied, "As you requested, I posted a public bounty on the Adventurers Guild, and in fact, three teams of silver-ranked adventurer squads have already arrived at Shalos Town. There are more adventurers rushing there nearby."
"Great!"
After Old Godthief retreated, Allisons confidant Katrik stepped forward and whispered: "The Night Hunter Corps has already ambushed outside Shalos Town."
Thats Ellisons response.
He was indeed unfamiliar with the terrain of Shadow Valley. This did not prevent him from gathering a large amount of gunpowder to eliminate the traps in Shadow Valley with his own flesh and blood.
The weak win by strategy, the strong win by force.
If possible, Raven didnt want to team up.
When he discovered that there were wary loiterers trying to peer into his carriage to see if Raven was alone or if there was anyone else in the vehicle, Raven realized that he had to form a party.
Otherwise, he would be intercepted before approaching the Shadow Valley.
Fortunately, due to the wanted poster being issued, there was no shortage of novice adventurers in the surrounding towns who wanted to form a party.
Before arriving at Shalo Town, Raven came to the Sword and Vulture Tavern in the west of Wangda City. From the dense mountainous area into the wilderness, both the city and the bar have undergone tremendous changes.
Wood has become a luxury here, and most buildings are made of mud bricks or stone. This tavern only has a wooden gate. From the tables to the chairs to the bar counter, all are made of granite, and its impossible to move the stools without using force.
In the world of Azeroth, apart from special organizations and adventurer guilds, the most informed ones are definitely tavern owners.
Lei Wen tied up his horse and walked into the tavern, directly to the bar, where he pressed a silver coin with his index finger and pushed it in front of the bartender: "I want to find some temporary teammates."
Jiubao scanned Ravens entire body twice, then curled his lip: "There are a few guys in the horse shed behind the White Stone Tavern, they just happen to be short of a vagabond."
As for what kind of people his teammates are, Raven doesnt care. Anyway, these teammates are just being used as decorations, whatever is fine.
When Raven arrived at the place, he suddenly found himself unable to calm down!
