Heroes of Invincible Beast Master

Chapter 176 Ravenloft Mercenaries
"Ding, the legion members are infected with the disease, please treat them as soon as possible."

Following the system prompt, the group of hounds suddenly became weak and trembling.

Rody looked at their status bar, and there were indeed many diseases and weaknesses.

"Why are only the hounds sick?"

It seems to have something to do with the rank/physique. Fortunately, Rody was prepared before entering the swamp. He took out the health necklace and replaced the wolf tooth necklace.

Health Necklace: Level 3 treasure, when wearing this necklace, you and your companions will be immune to diseases.

Putting on the necklace of health, the infected hound immediately gained strength, but the weakness seemed to last for some time.

Seeing this, Rody breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a big trouble if all the staff got sick.

Just after the swamp plague was resolved, the surrounding fog suddenly began to surge like a tide.

Affected by the tide, the needle on the compass turned wildly.

The pointer rotated for a long time, and finally stopped slowly at a position, but that was not the initial position.

"what happened?"

Rody tried to move the pointer again, but the direction the pointer pointed did not change.

But?

Roddy was a little confused why the position of the pointer was different from the beginning.

"These fogs are not formed naturally." Xiong Da's keen sense of sight and smell made him perceive something.

"There is a force manipulating these fogs behind the scenes."

Rody nodded, and combined with the information he had obtained before, it is likely that Wuzhen is responsible for it.

"Could it be that the Lizardmen don't want us to reach Fogtown?"

Feeling that something was wrong, Rody shook his head. They had too little information, and any conclusions drawn now were just guesses.

"go ahead."

Rody set up his formation and ordered the Beast Army to start moving forward again.

Under the shroud of heavy fog, Rody and his party started marching again in the foggy swamp.

Didn't get very far.

"I smell a rotten smell."

The stench was hidden in the mist and came from nowhere. Rody hesitated for a while looking at the compass in his hand.

"Keep going."

The small map failed, which greatly reduced Roddy's scouting ability.

Based on the idea of ​​finding Fog Town first, and then slowly exploring the swamp, Rody decided to ignore the abnormalities on the marching road for the time being.

After advancing like this for a long time, the army of beasts passed through the thick fog and encountered a strange dead wood forest in front of them.

"Ding, you found the Twisted Forest."

Xiong Da looked at this twisted forest, very sad.

"I heard the howling of the forest."

Xiong Da sensed that these twisted dead trees did not die naturally.

"This place looks like a dwelling place for evil creatures."

In fairy tales, this kind of place is usually inhabited by evil witches, scary werewolves, vampires and so on.

Just when Rody was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, a group of crows suddenly flew out of the Twisted Forest.

"Quack, we have guests, quack."

The crows hovered over the beast army for a while, then suddenly dispersed into a cloud of black mist, and then spun rapidly like a whirlpool.

Under the astonished gaze of Roddy and the others, a huge crow with blood-red eyes emerged from the center of the vortex.

"A human, a bear, and a werewolf are a rare combination."

The crow's eyes lingered on Ren for a moment, as if he was a little puzzled.

"Then, please listen to me introduce myself."

"I am the Pavilion Master of Ravenloft, you can call me Lord Black Raven."

"Ding, you found Ravenloft."

Following the introduction of Lord Black Crow, Roddy soon learned that these crows turned out to be a group of neutral mercenaries, and they were willing to participate in any war as long as the price was right.

Roddy tried to get more information from the Crow Lord, but unfortunately, if they were not hired, the Crow Lord would not answer any questions.

However, the price of hiring them is enough to make Rody lose his fortune.

But in addition to hiring, Ravenloft also sells soldiers.

"I like shiny things. You can use gems or crystals to hire a small army of witch crows from Ravenloft."

There is only a small team. This is the maximum number that Rody can recruit from Ravenloft at present, and it will not be refreshed even after a month, unless he raises the reputation of Ravenloft.

The Witch Crow is a very special kind of unit. It can even be said that it is difficult for Rody to find this magical magical beast in other places after leaving the Raven Pavilion.

Witch Crow (Level 0): Neutral Tier 1, Magic Beast, Talented Witch Beast.

Magic Beast: Witch Crow is a magical creature created by magic, you cannot get it through normal means.

Witch Beast: For every level up, the Witch Crow can learn 1 witchcraft, and the Witch Crow can be used as a witchcraft material/medium to release witchcraft.

This small team of Witch Crows cost Roddy a total of 50 units of gems, which was so expensive that it hurt his heart.

But of course, Roddy couldn't miss this special magical beast. When Lord Black Crow came out, he obviously used the abilities of these witch crows.

The more Rody thought back, the more he felt that the vortex just now was a kind of teleportation witchcraft.

"Guest, do you need any more services?"

Yajue played with the gems in his hand, trying to dig out more wealth from Roddy.

"Does Ravenloft offer other services besides hiring?"

Raven Lord thought for a while, but at Roddy's prestige level, Raven Loft does not provide other services.

but.

"If you have crow units, you can train with me."

"Ding, Ravenloft has opened training services to you."

"train!?"

Rody opened the service item and took a look.

"You can put the crow-type arms in the Ravenloft to learn professional abilities."

①: sentinel
②: Scout

③: Messenger (Unlocked)

④: Scavengers (Unlocked)
⑤: Dreamwalker (Unlocked)
Vocational training is not about inauguration of a branch of arms, but for a soldier to acquire a certain ability of this profession.

For example, after the Witch Crow is trained as a sentry guard, the Witch Crow will gain the ability to lurk and watch.

Note: The Vocational Academy of the Kingdom of Erathia, the Magic Academy of the Academy Department, etc., all have the same function.

"so expensive."

The abilities of Sentinels and Scouts are very practical, but Rody glanced at the price of training, and it hurt him so much.

Yajue's blood-red eyes scanned Rody's men carefully, as if he was evaluating the strength of the Beast Army.

"Guest, please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Two sentry guards, and three scouts."

Rody gritted his teeth and picked out five witch crows for training.

"Training takes five hours."

Crow Lord took a large bag of gems and sent five witch crows into the Twisted Forest.

"Five hours."

It's been a while, during this period of time he must not go too far, Rody thought about it, and decided to brush up the reputation of Ravenloft.

"Your Excellency, Yajue, what is the mission of Raven Pavilion, do you need my help?"

Roddy usually doesn't bother to complete this kind of mission for a small neutral camp.

Even the three major pirate groups, if it weren't for Xier, Rody would not be willing to waste time on them.

Raising the reputation of a small faction is labor-intensive, the rewards are not high, and there are few key tasks.

But I'm not free now, just to pass the time.

"There are some small troubles that need to be handled by someone."

Yajue saw that they didn't seem to want to spend anymore, so he immediately lost interest, dropped a few tasks, and flew away.

Most of the tasks in Ravenloft are very ordinary, such as cleaning the crow's nest, feeding the baby witch crows, cleaning up nearby mosquitoes, etc.

But one of them surprised Rody.
