Chapter 392 Ancient Tomb Technician(1/2)
Chapter 392 Tomb Technician
So less than half an hour later, Levi met the tomb technician named Harpulos in the private room of the tavern.
He is a very typical mummy, wrapped in yellowing white cloth, but there is also a little magic glow on it, which is probably a special piece of equipment.
In addition, he is also carrying a sickle-shaped sword, one of the most favored weapons among the warriors of the Tomb Kings faction, on his waist, indicating that he also has certain melee capabilities.
Levi apologized to him when he came up. He did not have all the constructs that met the other party's requirements for the time being, but Harpulos had no intention of getting angry.
On the one hand, it was because he failed again today and his debt increased by several percent, so he was really a little anxious.
On the other hand, it was because he had already seen the scorpions and scarabs in the house, two special structures that he had never seen before.
Once he saw the rather eager look in his eyes, Li Wei roughly understood.
So he changed his original idea, without any further words, he directly took out the corresponding materials and performed a hand-rubbing death guard for the other party.
So after watching the whole process with his own eyes, Harpulos didn't talk nonsense at all. He said on the spot that as long as Li Wei could help him repay the debt of about 100 gold coins, he would be willing to follow Li Wei, no matter where he went.
Martis, who was also watching the excitement next to him, was somewhat speechless after hearing this.
The waiter said it was 80 before, but it went up by 20 gold coins this day.
She didn't know yet how strong his personal abilities were, but she had a rough idea of how fast he was losing money.
Although Li Wei also found it a bit funny, he didn't lack the money, so he agreed directly.
So Hapros bowed down and became a level 3 combat hero under Li Wei.
In terms of equipment, he has a blue funeral shroud robe. Although it looks tattered, it actually has good defense and a certain degree of fire resistance.
In terms of skills, he can be regarded as a master of both magic and martial arts. He knows several combat skills and some basic earth magic. He also brings a skeleton chariot, so he can fight when necessary.
As for the racial characteristics of the Tomb Kings, they have a terrifying appearance and a funeral body.
The former can improve the resistance to dark magic and has a chance to inflict fear on weaker enemies. It is more suitable for warrior-type unparalleled weapons.
The latter can improve earth and water resistance, but at the cost of reducing fire resistance.
At first glance, two for one seems like a profit, but in fact, most of the Tomb Kings only appear in the desert, where water attacks will be seriously affected.
The power and frequency of fire magic are also superior to those two, so in fact they are just as afraid of fire magic as ordinary undead.
He also has a few item-making feats, but they are of little use.
But there are three main skills that Li Wei likes in him.
One is the stone cutter. Hapulos can process stone, metal, etc., in order to make structures better and faster.
If there are enough materials, or if Li Wei allows it, he can also try to make the most basic jackal-type guards of the gods.
But compared with Levi, who holds the nine volumes of Nagash, he has a chance of failure in making it, and it is not low, otherwise he would not owe so much money.
The second is to repair the inscription. After the battle, he can use metal and stone to repair the structure.
The last one is called resurrection. It is not a real resurrection, but in an emergency, he can use the special ability he has mastered to temporarily replace other materials with soil to forcibly restore a certain amount of health to the construct.
If the construct is still not completely destroyed after the battle, he can remove the dirt and other things and then carry out real repairs.
In addition, according to him, he has received professional training. If his strength is improved in the future, his success rate in creating guards of the gods will also increase accordingly.
Even if he is powerful enough, he may also try to create the iconic construct of Lahmia City, which is the giant cobra that the Graveyard Knights ride.
Then Levi would just listen to this temporarily, because if he was really good at this, he would not choose to rely on one of his God-chosen heroes.
The owner of this place, Khalida,'s favorite construct is the giant cobra.
However, through communication with him, it also confirmed one of Levi's guesses that Khalida did not master the technology to make the Sphinx.
In fact, most of the various Tomb King forces, including Lahmia City, only control a few of them.
Only the most powerful among them, the legendary Settra known as the "Immortal Emperor", has almost all the manufacturing methods.
Because he had beaten all the Tomb Kings around him who disobeyed him, and gathered them in this way.
Even Khalida surrendered to the other party in theory, but of course, it was only in theory.
The straight-line distance between the two territories is not a thousand miles, but it is still three to five hundred miles. In addition, there are many forces such as dwarves and wood elves separated in the middle, so it is usually impossible to get close to each other.
The reason why she proclaimed herself as a vassal was probably just to reduce trouble.
Anyway, the "Immortal Emperor" only wanted a verbal surrender and was satisfied.
In addition, although he is not a battle hero, because he is a tomb technician, with Levi's permission, he can also command constructs to fight, which is a good assistant.
After understanding this series of information, Levi threw 200 gold coins and a space ring to Hapulos, asking him to pay off his debt and also purchase some materials he could use.
He is not worried that the other party will take the money and run away. Not to mention that the system has recognized him as one of his subordinates. The characteristic of the Tomb Kings faction is their heavy commitment.
If Harpulos fled with the money under such circumstances, once outsiders found out, there would be no need for Li Wei to do anything. Khalida would probably be the first to give the order to hunt him down.
The Tomb Kings have become a special kind of undead, and most of the things that the living care about have little meaning to them.
But there is only one thing that not only does not disappear after death, but expands many times, and that is glory, or face!
While Hapulos was surprised, he was naturally very grateful, saying that he had really found the right person.
Let’s not talk about the other party’s ability to create guards of the gods. Considering his generous character, it doesn’t seem to be an unbearable thing to take refuge in the God’s Chosen Hero?
After sending him to do his work, Li Wei continued manufacturing, intending to get everything the caravan asked for at once.
Alduin felt a little bored and slipped downstairs to find a place to drink, while Maldis was still staying with Levi.
I don't know if she really wants to learn how to make a death guard, or if she is simply a guard.
But judging from the empty look in her eyes, maybe she just had nothing to do.
After all, as a death elf, she doesn't need to rest at all.
So she stayed in a daze for several hours. It wasn't until Levi finished all the scorpion guards and started cleaning up all kinds of waste that she came back to her senses.
"Levi, what you just used was your soul, right?"
Although her tone was questioning, it was clear from her expression that she had confirmed it.
Levi nodded slightly: "Yes, they are the souls of the beasts and ratmen we killed on the road."
Under normal circumstances, playing with the souls of the dead is taboo for the gods and their churches.
Because after the death of a devout believer, his soul will ascend to the kingdom of the gods, become a petitioner, and achieve rebirth in the kingdom of gods.
Although there are much fewer people than before in life, they can still generate some power of faith.
Generally speaking, the power of faith they generate is not enough to support the efforts of the gods to maintain their existence.
But taking care of their deceased devout believers and allowing them to be reborn in the Kingdom of God is originally one of the obligations of the gods.
At the same time, they are also the source of soldiers for the gods when they conduct wars, at least when they conduct defensive wars.
The reason why evil beings such as demons, demons, and necromancers are so hated and hated by the gods is because they are actually robbing things from the gods.
But as for ratmen and ordinary beastmen, Levi is really not afraid of offending the gods behind them.
Whether it's the Horned Rat or the Maura, they are the kind that have enemies all over the world, and the number of these two races is large enough. I'm afraid tens of thousands of people die every day. They can't even pay attention to it, okay?
"You are using my soul."
"No," Maldis shook his head, and then pressed his forehead, "I just feel that I have seen a similar scene in a certain temple."
Levi was suddenly surprised: "Is your memory starting to recover?"
"There are only sporadic fragments, but I should indeed be one of the captains of the Temple Knights of the Goddess of Death."
Li Wei couldn't help but comforted: "This is a good thing. Don't worry, we will find out the original truth sooner or later."
At the same time, he was also a little surprised. No wonder Maltis was so powerful. There was a big difference between the Temple Knight Captain and the ordinary knights.
It's a pity that the Elf Goddess of Death has long since disappeared. Her priests have very little power, let alone a temple knight.
If they were not really helpless, how could Lilith and Yue Gong secretly prepare to create a new god of death?
After comforting the other party for a while, Alduin knocked on the door and said that the caravan leader was here, and the other party also claimed to have brought a gift to Li Wei.
So the leader of the caravan quickly presented two pieces of equipment that were very characteristic of the Tomb Kings and were very cherished.
One is a brooch-type reborn Ouroboros, which comes with the active skill Rebirth. After activation, it will restore 8 health points per second for 100 seconds. It can be used up to 5 times a day, but the fire resistance is -20 when activated.
Theoretically, it can restore up to 4,000 health points per day. If this was given to Dirge and Alduin, wouldn't it become a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield? How much health do they have in total?
Moreover, the other party brought over 3 pieces at once. It seems that they can be manufactured in small batches. As Khalida has existed for more than a thousand years, her heritage is really strong.
The negative effect of -20 fire resistance is really annoying, especially since the Tomb King already has a weakness to fire, and with this equipment, even if he suffers a fire attack, he may not be able to recover his health for a long time.
But when he took out the second thing, Levi knew that he was indeed prepared.
The Sun Scarab also has only one effect, which is to increase fire resistance by 10 points and magic resistance by 5 points. Although it is not enough to completely offset the negative effects of the reborn Ouroboros, with some auxiliary magic, it is almost enough.
However, the value of these 6 pieces of blue equipment in 3 sets is probably quite high.
It stands to reason that for such an excellent thing, if any information leaks out, the discussion on the forum will be lively.
However, Li Wei had not obtained any relevant information before, so there were only two possibilities.
Either no other Chosen Hero has gotten them yet, or they did, but deliberately hid it.
To be continued...
