Chapter 436 The Call of the Sphinx(2/2)
He browsed quickly and found that the opponent was actually a level 5 elite.
In addition to having the ability to create magic items and magic scrolls, it can also use several skills such as treating minor injuries, neutralizing poisons, removing diseases, talking to animals, and summoning natural allies. Overall, it is obviously similar to the auxiliary type.
The druid.
The attributes are just okay. There are no particularly outstanding advantages, but there are no obvious weaknesses. Moreover, it can fly and carry people.
But Li Wei felt that Sefa would definitely not choose to ride it, because it has the body of a lion and the wings and slender head of an egret, and the proportions are seriously uncoordinated.
Even if it is a magical creature with such a body, its flight speed and agility are definitely not much better, at least not as good as those of a griffon.
But this is just a small episode. Levi doesn't even plan to assign any tasks to it. Normally, it's almost enough to let it help Sefa do something.
As the distance continued to get closer, the undead who originally didn't care about them at all also divided some of their forces and actively launched an attack on them.
Not only because of their instinctive dislike of the living, but also because of the characteristics of heavenly creatures that make them extremely disgusted.
Li Wei and the others naturally would not sit still and wait for death, and in order to have more say in the future, he also showed a little bit of strength as he approached the opponent.
Yes, just a little bit, because if he behaves too strongly, the native people may be overjoyed and think they have received unexpected support.
But it's hard to say for those God-chosen heroes. Human nature has always been complex, and jealousy often drives them to make wrong choices.
Fortunately, even though he, Sefa and others had reduced their strength, they were still considered to be quite powerful. They repelled several teams of black knights and tomb demons with "difficulty" and opened up a path to the other side.
The road to the position.
So the other party was very surprised and welcomed them.
Since the matter was indeed extremely urgent, the other party did not waste time. The leader, a certain Tomb General, immediately told Li Wei their identities after learning that Li Wei was a Celestial Mystic and a pure lawful good camp.
It turns out that they are from the famous Bronze City - Kasabai.
A long time ago, Kasabai, which was rich in bronze and various bronze products, was originally one of the most prosperous cities of the Tomb Kings, and was also one of the first cities to stand up against Nagash's brutal rule.
Then they were killed by Nagash as a warning to the monkeys. They took advantage at first, but not long after, due to the opponent's overwhelming strength, the entire city was destroyed by his general, Black Arkhan.
Later, Nagash was defeated, and the Bronze City was rebuilt after the war, and was rewarded by the gods for its heroic and righteous actions.
Except for those whose souls were completely destroyed or enslaved by Black-Arkhan, most of the rest of the dead were resurrected into mummies.
The gods also commended the Bronze City, which is the manufacturing method of bronze lion-headed guards of the gods.
As the name suggests, the materials used are all bronze, and the finished product looks like a lion's head.
Although ordinary weapons made of bronze are much inferior to steel weapons in many aspects such as sturdiness and toughness, things blessed by the gods will naturally no longer be ordinary bronze.
Compared with the most common jackal heads, their combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger, and their resistance will be greatly improved when resisting attacks such as arrows, which has become a unique specialty of the Bronze City.
At the same time, the gods also gave them an honor, but in Levi's view, it was a heavy responsibility, which was to guard some evil magic items used by Black Arkhan.
Today they were on patrol as usual, and then they were attacked by the other party.
It just so happened that the Tomb General had personally fought against Black Arkhan when he was still alive.
So he immediately realized that it was probably the other party who came to take revenge, and it just so happened that this was also their opportunity to take revenge!
Even though he looked like a mummy, just by listening to these words, Levi could roughly understand the other person's mood at the moment.
But unfortunately, his strength does not match his ambition at all. Levi estimates that he is only in his early 10th level. Compared with the more powerful God's Chosen heroes at this stage, he does not have much advantage, let alone fighting against Arkhan.
Already.
Even Levi felt a little pity for the other party. Perhaps their god had never told them that one of those evil magic items was the Nine Scrolls of Nagash?
Is it because they don't trust them to resist the temptation in front of it, or because they think the chess pieces don't need to know too much?
No matter which possibility it is, it is quite sad, and the reward is only so small.
In comparison, Lilith is much more honest and generous.
But no matter what, Levi has roughly figured out their current position.
This place is about 1,200 miles away from the dwarf Drakadelin Fortress, and the direction is probably slightly west of the south.
A hundred miles further south is the Orion Camp, one of the important strongholds of the wood elves.
Well, it was the home of the group of wood elves who owed Levi a favor when they fought against the beastmen of Maela.
Further east from Camp Orion is the Golden Tower, one of the strategic locations of the lizardmen, which belongs to the territory of Kuga.
Compared to Khalida, Kuga's territory is much wider.
If the Tomb Kings want to march into the eastern coastal area, they basically have only two choices: go south and pass through the wood elves' territory, and then take the Golden Tower.
Or go north, first trek through the mountains, fight against the greenskins, ratmen and other evil forces all over the mountains, and then capture Astri under Khalida's command.
However, even the most belligerent Immortal Emperor Settra does not have that leisure, not only because the process will be very long and difficult.
This is because the humid environment, whether it is the rain forest or the coastal area, has far more disadvantages than advantages for mummies like them, which will make their bodies more susceptible to decay.
The power of the Egyptian gods allowed their souls to remain in their bodies, forming immortality in disguise, but they did not say what their bodies would look like.
So up to now, the relationship between the Tomb Kings and Khalida or Kuga is pretty good.
There is only one exception, and that is the notoriously sinister and vicious Prince Beetle.
But thinking about it afterwards, Li Wei could roughly understand the other party's intentions.
He is surrounded by enemies on all sides in the desert, and is beaten by everyone. But if Khalida can be defeated and replaced, his environment will suddenly be much better, and he will turn from passive to active.
Apart from dealing with the pirates to the east and the lizardmen to the south, and firmly guarding Astri to the west, he has no serious enemies.
Unfortunately, his plan was very good, but in reality it was a mess.
After a simple communication, the other party decided that the main force would continue to stay here to fight against the undead, and an elite team would go to the pyramid together with Levi, the unexpected reinforcement.
There is no need to defeat Arkhan, because that is simply impossible. The opponent is a legendary hero who has been famous for many years. After Nagash's death, countless people wanted to kill him, this loyal henchman, but no one has succeeded so far.
Even the Tomb General who hated the other party in his heart would not have such an unrealistic dream.
So his real purpose is to find out why Arkhan came.
It's been so many years, and it's too long for him to think about getting his things back now, right? There must be a conspiracy involved.
Li Weixin said that if you realize this, you are not completely stupid, and you can still be saved, but after you really understand it, your mood will probably be more complicated.
But that has nothing to do with him. He has already received the mission and opened the prestige level of the Bronze City.
Depending on the amount of information he discovers next, he may receive varying degrees of rewards.
Most of them he had already seen in Lahmia City, or obtained them from Khalida.
But there was still one thing that he was more interested in, and that was the fifth-level bronze lion-headed death guard.
It's not entirely because of their combat effectiveness. Now that he has the ability to manufacture two kinds of dragon golems in large quantities, there is absolutely no way to compare them.
He was just curious why it was a lion head.
Almost all Egyptian gods have some kind of animal incarnation with human body and animal head, or the prototype is simply an animal, such as the giant crocodile Sobek and the scorpion goddess, etc.
Generally speaking, the Tomb Kings will imitate their appearance to create the God Guards, but they usually have jackal heads, and there are very few others. The Bronze City is an exception.
Before they received the reward from the gods, they had always used lion heads, but they were made of stone instead of bronze. He felt that there must be something hidden in this.
But these were not mentioned in Lilith's information.
Among the Egyptian gods, there are two goddesses who have the appearance of lions.
One is Bastet, the goddess of pleasure, dance and cats. She usually only knows about playing and joy. Her followers often hold parties. When she sees it, she gets excited and descends into her own body to participate in it personally. It’s not just two people at once.
times.
For this reason, her lover, An He, the god of war from the same pantheon, got angry with her more than once, but it didn't help, because my cat would not obey orders honestly, even if the other person was a more powerful god.
And in extremely angry situations, she will turn into a lioness and fight.
The other one is Tefnut, the goddess of rain and moisture. Her priesthood and divinity level are very low, but her status is extraordinary. She is the grandmother of the current god king of the Egyptian pantheon.
The same salted fish that usually does nothing will turn into a lioness when it enters a fighting state.
But the two of them have a Godhead of 2 and a Godhead of 1. In terms of weak divine power, and even among all the gods, they are at the bottom, which is slightly stronger than demigods like the Unicorn Queen or Faun Pan.
Why would the Egyptian gods, who are so happy about success and like to show their existence in various ways, choose the lion head here?
Is this really just a coincidence? Respecting the old and loving the young has never been the character of the gods, or even the Egyptian gods.
Or is it that they failed in the competition, or are they trying to please one of them?
Li Wei is more inclined to the latter. He has long heard that there are some so-called ancient gods in the Egyptian pantheon.
Just like Asuryan, the first god-king of the high elves, their whereabouts are still unknown, and there is no faith in the main world. Many people or gods believe that they may have disappeared from history long ago.
Levi felt that with Tefnut's special status, she might be able to know something, or maybe she herself was one of them, and she might also be hiding some power.
Unfortunately, the City of Bronze generally believed in the Egyptian gods and had no particular preference for anyone. The two goddesses in the church here also looked very ordinary, and he could not judge for the time being.
But he was just a little curious. Even if the other party really had any power, it had little to do with him.
So far, he has only offended Set in the other god's system, but this is not his territory.
