Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 258 The Singer of the Moon

About half an hour later, Li Wei received these special drow elves in the chamber.

As for the dwarf Hans, he temporarily dismissed him and wandered around the village with Stump, so that his hot temper would not affect the following talks.

In addition to Donna, Elegy, and the new hero named Rowan who will be in charge of defending the city next, Cindy and other confidantes, Alduin and Nar are also allowed to participate, because they may need to fight each other in the future. dealing with it.

Soon under the watchful eyes of many celestial creatures, a small group of elegant female drow stepped in.

Unlike the high elves, they generally have red eyes, black skin, and long silver hair. They also dress very coolly, with most of their skin exposed. It seems that they are troops that emphasize agility.

And when they looked at the high elves including Li Wei, they didn't have any hatred that ordinary drow should have in their eyes, but were full of excitement and fanaticism.

Li Wei stood up with a smile: "Welcome, darlings of dark girls."

The dark girl Eilistraee, also known as the silver-haired lady or the dancing lady, is the only kind-hearted camp among the drow gods. Sister of the Moon Goddess.

It is said that during the rebellion launched by Rose, the Queen of the Spiders, the dark girl was influenced by Rose's tricks, and her arrows almost killed Corellon, although after the rebellion was quelled, she got Corellon and other elves. Forgive, but she didn't forgive herself, and she voluntarily was exiled with Rose and others.

But she is still an ally with the elves and gods, and she also wants to bring all the drow back into the right path, and is committed to promoting a harmonious relationship between the drow and the surface races, so that they can one day be able to get on the surface in a fair manner. The right to live in the world was gradually extended to welcome people of all races to live happily and freely.

This allowed her to win the friendship of many human goddesses, nature goddesses, and even dwarf gods who tend to be kind and lawful.

At the same time, as the only heretic among the gods of the drow elves, and one of the few kind gods among the gods of the Underdark, she was naturally hated by other evil gods.

Not to mention the gods of the drow elves, other race gods such as beholders, illithids, aboleths, kuo-toa, and lizardmen all hold hostility or even hatred towards her.

Although some of these gods are the same as the previous god of gnolls - Yeenoghu, they are called gods, but in essence they may be demon lords or simply ancient evils, rather than orthodox gods who rely on the power of faith to enshrine gods .

Or there is also the god of the lizardmen-Logoz, this kind of demigod who is as stupid as a beast and only knows how to eat and eat can make up the number, but their overall strength is still extremely strong, even if they have many enemies, each has its own strength. enemies, this still brought her a lot of pressure.

So it's only natural that she and her followers would actively look for possible allies.

Especially since Li Wei had just killed a lot of Lizardmen and was a member of the high elves, it was completely understandable that they moved so quickly.

The leader, holding a hammer and a shield and dressed as a priest, was taken aback for a moment, and then became even more excited: "Welcome, my former kinsmen."

Li Wei couldn't help laughing. He said welcome, to welcome the other party to the Glory of Blood, but the welcome in the other party's mouth was to welcome them to the Underdark. Now things are getting more and more interesting.

After the simple politeness, Li Wei also knew the general intention of the other party. The other party's name was Pamela, and she came from a large organization called the Song of the Moon. In fact, almost all the priests, priests, and apologists of Eilistraee The military and others are all members of this organization.

As Li Wei expected, its purpose is to form an alliance to fight against many evil forces in the Underdark, including but not limited to other evil drow and so on.

Naturally, Li Wei would not reject this kind of ally. In fact, if he wanted to participate in the next battle against Dracula and the black dragon Black, those evil drow elves under Rose, the Spider Queen, must be one of them. No past formidable enemy.

Although the drow elves are also fighting against the old black dragon, it is unrealistic to expect them to lose both sides and then be picked up by their own side. The drow elves can become the overlord of the Underdark region not only because of their strength, but also because of their cunning.

Even if it was the order of Rose, the Queen of the Spiders, they would not help Dracula at the cost of seriously hurting themselves, not to mention the selfish Rose might not give such a stupid order.

Now that the singer of the moon has actively contacted Li Wei, it will be easier for them to deal with those evil forces.

While the two parties were exchanging information and negotiating, Donna, Elegy and Cindy, as well as Janet and Luna, all watched and listened carefully.

By now, they all know that Li Wei intends to cultivate them intentionally, so that each of them can finally be independent. Naturally, they will not disappoint Li Wei's expectations, and they must seize every opportunity to enrich their knowledge and strength.

Alduin next to him also listened with great interest. Although he had dealt with the war lizards a lot, he still didn't know much about other enemies in the Underdark, and now he has more knowledge.

Naer's expression is also constantly changing. The distribution of Harper members is extremely wide, including humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, etc., and they can be found in almost all areas where intelligent races are active.

But the Underdark region has always been a blank space, because no matter how much ordinary people pretend to be, it is impossible to perfectly integrate into it, but if we can cooperate with the singer of the moon, can this situation be changed?

But of course she knows etiquette and priority, so even though she has a lot of thoughts in her mind, she just watched quietly, and she also needs to confirm with the harpist that she can't be the master of such a big matter.

It's a pity that after a short exchange of relevant information and some details, Li Wei learned with some regret that even if they cooperated in depth in the future, it would be almost impossible for the Moon Singer to send any decent reinforcements, and it might even be necessary for Li Wei to respond. Come and help them.

Because under the concerted efforts of many evil gods, the believers of Eilistraee have already suffered heavy casualties, and the current singer of the moon has become riddled with holes.

In the Underdark, most of them can only hide in city ruins or hidden caves to avoid attacks from other enemies.

It's not that they don't have the ability to capture any villages, but once they do that, they may immediately attract hostile forces to encircle and suppress them, which is not conducive to their actions.

It is precisely because they are in such a bad state that these survivors will try to seize every opportunity that may change the situation, such as visiting Levi this time.

But Pamela also said that they can help in two ways.

First of all, they can provide a special legal system transfer, that is, the exclusive priest of Eilistraee - sword dancer, as long as the camp is good, the gender is female, and they are willing to believe in the dark girl Eilistraee, even if they are not dark elves , this special job transfer can also be carried out if the conditions are met.

But it’s okay for Li Wei to listen to it. Apart from druids, he doesn’t have any suitable legal subordinates who can change jobs for the time being. Moonbow and Lilith.

Pamela is providing help in name, but in fact, she is probably recruiting loyal and powerful believers for her goddess in disguise?

Seeing that Li Wei was not interested, Pamela was not surprised at all, let alone discouraged. Their special drow elves would always suffer one way or another when they preached in the Underdark.

Li Wei's kind is good. Those of their fellow clans who are driven by evil even scream and kill when they meet. They have been tempered a long time ago.

Then she turned to say that if they did not meet the conditions for the time being, they could also retain a few high-level sword dancers as martial arts teachers to publicly teach their usual sword skills.

If necessary, they can also teach some tips for surviving in the Underdark. They are Tier 5 elites, so they can teach some things.

This is acceptable to Li Wei. It is always good to learn more skills. Since it is named Sword Dancer and is the exclusive priest of the goddess, it is not possible to only teach the primary long sword specialization, right?That would be too embarrassing for Moon Singer.

Secondly, because they need to avoid the enemy's tracking and attack all year round, and yearn to return to the surface world to survive, they have done a lot of detailed investigations and are very familiar with many exits leading to the surface world.

There may not be many suitable for a large number of troops to enter and exit, and most of them are occupied by other forces, but if it is the kind of small road that can be passed by several people, they are still very confident.

Li Wei thinks this is also very useful. Among other things, if he can find a direct exit to Silent Manor or Bitao Village, then for himself, it is really foolproof.

As for the end, they scouted a large amount of terrain during the process of evading, fleeing, and counterattacking. Therefore, in addition to providing detailed maps of the Underdark, they also mastered many resource points and even the locations of god-given buildings.

But she couldn't guarantee whether she could successfully capture them and occupy them all the time, because most of them had owners.

The Underdark region is said to be vast and boundless, wider than the surface world, but after so many years, places that are more suitable for intelligent races to live in, and these valuable things, have already been occupied.

Even so, Li Wei is already very satisfied, no matter whether those outlets or resource points have owners now, as long as the original owners are killed, they will naturally become theirs.

He might not be able to challenge the strong one at the moment, but isn't he able to deal with such chickens as the stone-blind barbarians and the children of darkness?

It's just that he doesn't have enough energy for the time being, and he doesn't feel relieved to hand it over to Qianthie or Stump. Alduin and Naal are obviously not suitable for this job, so after much deliberation, only the Sun Knight is the most suitable one. up?
His ability, prestige, and wisdom are all good enough for this job, but he still wants to prove himself to the high elves by crusading the green skins, and he doesn't know if he is willing to come.

But that's for later. Now that the Sun Knight has arrived near the Beast Fencing Castle, and has also had several conflicts with the green skins, it's good to ask the matter in person when the matter here is settled later.

In addition, Pamela said that they can also conduct some simple transactions, such as the information he needs, certain herbs, ores or beast minions unique to the Underdark, or special potions they use to dye their hair, etc.

At first, Li Wei thought that these drow elves were born with better hair quality, unlike the dry and dilapidated off-white or light yellow hair of ordinary drow elves. Unexpectedly, they used some potions made of special leaves and berries. Hair coloring carried out.

This made him a little interested. This special potion does not contain any magic. If you find other potions of the same kind that can dye your skin black, try to find a way to cover up the color of your pupils and change the equipment. High elves like myself , can you also pretend to be a drow, and then do something in the next battle?

But thinking about the characters of the drow elves, Li Wei felt that it would be very difficult to implement this matter.

The drow elves, who grew up amidst killings and conspiracies, could even kill relatives in their own family as soon as they said they were dead. With this little pretense alone, I'm afraid they couldn't even get close to each other.

If it works, the aborigines have probably tried it a long time ago, so where is it his turn?
But this kind of hair dye should be able to sell well, among other things, he can sell it to other god-chosen heroes, this thing has no usage requirements, anyone can use it, or it can be used for your own pets.

After confirming some details, Li Wei was also very satisfied to see that it has been completed in one step and directly changed to a friendly reputation level.

If you want to develop in the dark region for a long time, such a local snake is indispensable, and with the addition of dwarves and your own guild members, it is becoming more and more secure.

So when he was happy, he gave the other party some magic scrolls. The things were worthless, but they also represented his heart.

Pamela was even happier immediately. She originally thought that God's Chosen Hero would be difficult to contact, but now it seems that he is much friendlier than ordinary elves.

Then, as if remembering something, her face suddenly became a lot more serious: "We have another important piece of information. Yesterday, a member of a tribe of troglodytes in the northwest felt a violent and bloody attack. With a powerful aura, when they arrived quietly, there were stumps and broken arms all over the scene, and there were no survivors in the entire tribe."

Li Wei suddenly became energetic, violent and bloody?Could it be something about that crazy, bugbear-dreaded demigod?
No wonder the high elves have never found any trace of the other party. Did they also come to the Underdark?

"Are there any other clues? Or do you have any suspected targets?"

Pamela frowned and nodded, then shook her head again: "This is not the first time this has happened, the demigod worshiped by the troglodyte - Logoz only knows how to kill and devour, it doesn't know how to fight Lizardmen are treated differently, so almost every time it is summoned, it will devour that tribe of troglodytes."

"But this time is different from the past. We didn't find the unique energy aura of Lao Gezde at the scene. We only know that the perpetrator is extremely powerful, probably stronger than ordinary legends."

"Is that so? Thanks for the reminder, we will be more careful."

Seeing Li Wei's undisguised excitement, Pamela was surprised, knowing that there must be something hidden in it, but since Li Wei didn't open his mouth to tell, she certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask. They all have a lot of common interests, but they haven't matured to this point yet.

But there is no need to worry, they have been investigating this matter, and after they have specific clues, come to discuss with Li Wei.

After leaving the three 5th-level elite sword dancers behind, Pamela quickly left, and Li Wei asked the hero Rowan to arrange a place for them, and then introduced to other existences in the village, especially the celestial creatures. a bit.

These sisters who believe in Eilistraee are all good camps, so don't let them cause unnecessary conflicts due to misunderstanding.

Not counting Alduin and Nar, Rowan is the titular boss of Glory of Blood next.

Even if he didn't expect him to make any great achievements after he left, at least he should show his face more and let everyone in the village know who he was.

Otherwise, if a foreign enemy invades and our own people don't know who is the boss, it will be ridiculous.

Donna and the others dispersed separately, preparing to take a short break before launching the next attack, preparing for the dwarves to seize the village.

Alduin also expressed very excitedly that he wanted to find an opportunity to compare skills with those sword dancers, and then ran out excitedly before Levi could respond.

Li Wei's eyes suddenly became a little weird. Just now he discovered that when he was communicating with Pamela, Alduin's eyes kept staying on those sword dancer girls. I'm just interested in their sword skills.

Although the skin of the drow elves is a bit darker, they are still elves after all. They have nothing to say about their faces and figures. In addition, they wear cooler clothes. Although Alduin is a bronze dragonborn, he is still a male, or a male. , will inevitably have some ideas
You must know that whether it is a dragonborn or a drow elf, the private life is very chaotic.

In addition to being greedy for money, the biggest characteristic of the dragon itself is lust. Almost anyone who can live can be their target. It seems that there is no reproductive isolation. Therefore, there are many subspecies of dragons, and the dragon descendants must have inherited theirs. this feature.

The drow elves fought among themselves every day in the city. I don’t know how many people killed each other, but the population and power did not decrease but increased. Obviously, their reproductive ability was not low.

These sword dancers who believed in Eilistraee were not much better. When performing any sacrifices, they would even run naked in the dark. It is said that they learned from their goddess.

So if something happens between them, Li Wei is not surprised at all, and he doesn't intend to take care of it. If Alduin can really succeed, maybe he will stay in the Underdark even more desperately in the future?
And looking at Naer's plain and watery appearance, it was obvious that she had already expected it.

So she didn't mention Alduin at all, but said that she wanted to try to get the harpist and the singer of the moon to cooperate. Out of politeness, she wanted to ask Levi's opinion, after all, the singer of the moon was looking for him .

Of course, Li Wei would not have any opinions, and their cooperation would have no effect on him, and maybe it could indirectly promote the relationship with the singer of the moon.

Naer was also delighted when she heard the words, if Li Wei doesn't mind, that would be great.

At the beginning, she thought that Li Wei was just an excellent God's Chosen hero with great potential, but as she got more in touch and learned more, her evaluation of Li Wei became higher and higher.

It wasn't until today that a dozen God-chosen heroes brought thousands of troops to help and obeyed his orders, that she really understood that Li Wei's potential is much stronger than she expected.

After a short rest, Li Wei led his men and the dwarves to attack the small village occupied by the children of darkness.

Because the dwarves moved slowly, when they arrived, the enemy had already waited for a long time and did not give them a chance to surprise.

But in fact, it doesn't matter anymore, Li Wei directly ordered the long-range troops to baptize the enemy with arrow rain and magic.

Not to be outdone, the tree stumps began to spray high-temperature steam downwards, and the dwarves' special heavy crossbows and muskets also fired together.

The special rune magic of Dwarf Hans also showed his power again. He seemed to intend to show his power to Levi, so he began to show the several rune magic he knew in turn.

In addition to Forge Fire, which he bestows on his allies, he can also cast Destruction Runes, which enhance armor-piercing attacks, Speed ​​Runes, which increase speed, and Wrath and Destruction Runes, which cause the earth to crack open and spit out flames.

And probably thanks to his magic furnace and his own power, all his buff magic can be released on multiple allies at the same time, which is much better than ordinary mages.

This series of moves really opened Li Wei's horizons. Runes can buff allies in a wide range, which must save mana.

Although the killing efficiency of that kind of helicopter is very low, if you rely on steam alone, you may not be able to break the defense against demons with higher fire resistance, but their defense power is really high, and they seem to attract the attention of the enemy. force.

Many of the Sons of Darkness tried to fight back with short swords and knives even if they didn't have long-range weapons.

If this is enough to gather a certain amount, it will be extremely efficient to implement fishing tactics.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Except for the lack of types, all his rune magic has a long cooling time. It cannot be released with sufficient mana. If you only use them to fight the mage head-on, He will undoubtedly be tortured from beginning to end.

As if he was afraid that Li Wei would look down on him, after doing all this, Hans deliberately explained to Li Wei that he was actually not strong enough, so he could only use these few types.

In fact, powerful rune smiths can use more different moves, and they can create more types of runes. In addition to attack, defense, gain, etc., there are more runes with incredible power.

Of course, Li Wei would not look at the other party because of this, because he knew the facts the other party said. Among other things, he now has a luck rune that can make himself lucky +1. Pay attention to it.

Although Hans's rune magic is not perfect, it is still enough to deal with the enemies in this small village. Under their combined attack, even if he has prepared in advance, these people wearing black coats are roughly humanoid The Sons of Darkness still suffered heavy losses, and had no choice but to choose to take the initiative to attack.

There is nothing to say about the following process. The enemies are all thieves and assassins. Occasionally, there are a few who can shoot throwing knives, but the range is not as good as that of the huntresses.

When Li Wei summoned a large number of holy light archons, dispelled the darkness and shadows, and forced the opponent to fight head-on, their defeat was doomed.

The only thing worth noting is that some advanced units among them, after being killed, their entire bodies will explode into a large cloud of dark energy, which can cause some damage to nearby enemies while covering their sight.

It's a pity that this kind of attack hit the silver light guards, basically they couldn't even break the defense, so it didn't take long, Li Wei and the others successfully killed all the enemies in the village, and successfully captured this place again. small village.

After the battle was over, Li Wei didn't even look at it, and directly signaled Hans the dwarf to go to the meeting hall and take over the small village. This was his first gift to the dwarves.

This time Hans finally trusted Li Wei completely. He laughed and gave Li Wei a thumbs up: "Li Wei, although you are an elf, I have to admit that you do regard us as friends!"

Li Wei naturally smiled: "Being able to make friends with dwarves is also my long-cherished wish."

The high elves are good everywhere, only two points are relatively lacking, one is gunpowder weapons, and the other is war equipment such as trebuchets and cannons.

The aborigines don't care about this because magic is extremely powerful, and there are various war beasts such as dragons and phoenixes, but for the heroes chosen by God, they cannot be as powerful as the aborigines for the time being. Even if it is a short board.

It just so happens that dwarves are very good at these two points. If there are dwarves in the team to fight side by side, they will be able to make up for these two points perfectly.

Dwarf Hans laughed again, and then he took over without saying a word.

The tree stump next to him also gestured towards Li Wei, indicating that everything is going well.

With the thorough affirmation of Hans' rune blacksmith, the dwarves will never betray unless Li Wei turns around and attacks the dwarves himself.

Li Wei knew what the other party said was true, because just with what the other party said just now, the system reminded him that his reputation in the Helhein clan had reached a friendly level.

From now on, he can freely hire a certain number of low-level troops in the opponent's Huipo Mountain. From this point of view, the dwarves are indeed very generous.

The other dwarves also began to formally take over the village one by one, looking for any remaining enemies, and within two minutes, Hans also came out of the meeting hall, yelling and cursing the poor ghosts as he walked.

Li Wei suddenly laughed. Although the children of darkness have human form, they are essentially magical creatures from the shadow plane. They don't even need food, let alone gold coins.

Coupled with the small scale of the village itself, it is estimated that their warehouses are full of wood, stone and other materials, as well as the spoils of some unfortunate creatures that have been killed by them.

So he didn't hesitate to give up the village just now, and he knew it would look like this.

Hans scolded, but when he looked at Li Wei, his face instantly turned into a smile. After thanking Li Wei again, Hans also took out a few gadgets: "Li Wei, I'm in the warehouse I found them here, maybe it can be of some use to you, a mage?"

Li Wei took it and took a look, not to mention, although Hans is not a mage, but his eyesight is not bad, they are indeed useful to him, these children of darkness are not like what Hans just said, they are completely poor ghosts .

A small bag is a space-type prop, filled with dark element crystals, there are miniature, small and medium-sized ones, and the total value is not one hundred gold coins, but definitely eighty gold coins. It can be said that it is only this one. It has far exceeded Levi's expectations.

He didn't believe that the dwarves, who were almost born to mine, would not know their value. Hans didn't choose to keep them secretly, but reciprocated and gave them to himself immediately. No wonder so many people like to make friends with dwarves. It's really interesting.

The second one is a green-quality wonder-darkness burst gem, which can store 3 second-level magic-darkness bursts every day, causing a little damage to the enemies around it, and releasing black mist that can definitely obscure the line of sight.

From Li Wei's point of view, it is basically the tactic used by the children of darkness before their death. When they get here, it becomes special for running away. Li Wei thinks that it can be handed over to Elegy. There is never too much life-saving stuff.

Finally, there are two second-level magic books - dark cold arrows, which summon arrows made of dark power to attack the enemy, half of which are dark attributes and half of which are ice attributes.

It's not very useful, it can be regarded as a little expansion of Li Wei's magic bar, so he just learned it.

After accepting the things, Li Wei naturally expressed his gratitude to Hans. This is a loyal dwarf. If they were replaced by other races, even if they could take out some loot, they would definitely not be so generous.

Hans naturally laughed again, saying that the dwarves would never disappoint their friends, so both parties were very satisfied for a while.

Then Hans is going to be busy. The defense facilities of this village are too simple. He needs to improve it as soon as possible before more reinforcements arrive, and demolish the spicy chicken building that recruited the Son of Darkness, so as not to affect everyone. morale.

Li Wei saw that Hans was so assertive, so he didn't waste any words. Now he felt that everything was almost arranged, and the rest was to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Shudun was also very happy: "Brother Li Wei, don't worry, I will leave this place to me, and I will help you guard the village, but when will you come back? If there is a chance, I would like to Let's fight greenskins with you."

Li Wei pondered for a moment, he really couldn't say the exact time, because the war against the greenskins was not up to him to make a decision, his strength was the best among the heroes chosen by God, but for For the Red Cloud Tribe, they are still a little weaker.

According to his previous plan, he still had to see how the elves and the crocodile Sobek communicated.

If Sobek can really change jobs, or if he is willing to dispatch a large number of crocodile troops to capture Swineherd Town together, then the high elves can almost push the greenskins who are in internal and external turmoil.

But if Sobek refuses to cooperate, and there is such a large piece of rotten land in the middle of Swineherd Town, it will be difficult for the high elves to advance smoothly from this aspect.

At that time, they might only be able to defend themselves near the Beast Fending Fort, and then try to march towards the Broken Bay by sea, giving the opponent a backstab.

But in that case, limited by logistics, supply and many other factors, the time may be delayed for a long time.

But no matter what, the day when the legendary mage Teclis arrives is getting closer, and he will definitely participate in the battle against the old black dragon when the other party arrives.

"A week at most, but why do you want to fight the greenskins? You won't get any merit from there, right?"

The reason why everyone is so keen on attacking the greenskins is that the experience points are part of it, and the captured villages can be part of them, but meritorious deeds are definitely an indispensable part of it, after all, that thing is too versatile.

Tree stump chuckled: "I accepted a recruitment mission, and the other party asked me to kill a specified class and a specified number of greenskins or ogres. Recently, the greenskins have stopped harassing us, so I can only take the initiative. "

Somewhat similar to the dwarves, the green skins originally had the ability to fight in the Underdark, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They were more committed to fighting elves or ogres in the surface world.

Recently, due to attacks by many forces including demons, they have been unable to maintain multiple fronts at the same time. After being attacked by the Ratmen a few days ago and knocked out the last stronghold in the Underdark, they have not yet dispatched new troops. The troops, which forced the stump to choose to take the initiative.

Li Wei nodded. This is not a problem. Although the high elves don't like the dwarves, if the stumps bring their own dry food and don't ask for anything in return, the aborigines will certainly not refuse.

He still wanted to say something, but suddenly his heart moved, and he received the news of monitoring Yakong, but unfortunately this time it was not entirely good news.

The reinforcements he expected had arrived, and the number was larger than originally expected, but they encountered some hostile forces on the way.

The opponents are God's Chosen Heroes of the dark department. There are about a dozen of them in total. Their races include but are not limited to drow, gray dwarves, cavemen, harpies, etc. It seems that they may belong to the same guild of.

But they don't have any specific information in this regard at present, because neither Lucia nor Pamela has the habit of collecting information about the God's Chosen heroes.

Li Wei snorted immediately: "Let's talk about this later, my reinforcements have been attacked, and I will deal with them first."

Shudun suddenly became excited: "Then let me go too!"

Li Wei smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, the enemy is not strong enough to require our entire army to dispatch, you should continue to guard the village."

The timing of those guys' sneak attack was considered good, but they made a fatal mistake, that is, they chose the wrong target!
