Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 92 The Witch Greta

When they got a little closer, more than a dozen beemen immediately greeted them.Li Wei noticed that they basically didn't have any armor on them, only some turf, leaves and the like were used as cover in the key parts. Obviously, the defense power would never be high.

But it's no wonder that the wings on their backs are very thin, and the lift they provide may be limited. Once they put on heavy armor, it is very likely that their movement speed will be seriously affected, and they may even be unable to fly at all.

Just as they were thinking, a beeman holding a wooden spear who looked like a squad leader had already stopped them: "Stop, this is the territory of the great witch Greta, please explain why you are here!"

A witch, not a wizard?Li Wei suddenly understood, it seemed that this was another wild way, but he didn't know if it was human or some other race.

But on the surface, he remained calm: "I am Li Wei, the hero chosen by the gods. I heard that there is a powerful witch who can lead the beemen here. Would you like to see me?"

Although he wanted to dig some quests here, it would be great if he could hire these beemen as scouts.

But before the other party expresses his attitude, he feels that he still needs to be cautious and not rush into the house rashly. After all, this is not a relatively safe novice village.

The beeman squad leader wanted to say something, but at this moment a surprised female voice came from inside the hut: "God's chosen hero? I didn't expect such a distinguished guest to come to visit!"

Accompanied by a series of coughing, the door of the hut was opened from the inside, and then a woman wearing a hood, who buried most of her face in the shadows, walked out with a somewhat mysterious look.

"I'm the witch Greta. I don't know what the god-chosen hero wants from me?"

Li Wei glanced at the beemen again, even though they were suspended in mid-air, their wings hardly made much sound, and the flying methods of flies and mosquitoes were obviously different, and they acted more Be stealthy.

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, he simply stopped covering up: "I want to hire some beemen as subordinates, what are the requirements?"

"Hire a beeman? It's not impossible, but we have been together for a long time and have a strong relationship. The adults may have to pay a certain price."

"What price?"

If it is about money, this is often the most time-saving and labor-saving.

The witch Greta immediately let out a few villainous smiles, and then continued: "The 1st-level beemen soldiers are 5 silver coins each, and the 2nd-level beemen are 10 silver coins each. In addition, if the god's chosen hero If you need Tier 0 troops, I still have some artificial bees and giant bees here, I can give you a lower price, just charge 2 silver coins."

When it came to the end, the witch Greta made a tone like she was taking advantage of you.

But Li Wei couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. The recruitment price was generally several times higher than that in the village. Did he take himself as the chief culprit?

Even if flying units are indeed very rare, and you really need them, you can't set the price like this, can you?Why don't you just grab it?Is it because the robbery doesn't come as quickly as this?

So he shook his head directly: "Although I really want some beemen subordinates, the price is too high for me to accept."

Of course, he didn't leave right away, because he knew that there was still something to discuss about this matter when he saw the other party's appearance, and this witch was probably asking for a lot of money.

The witch Greta was not annoyed when she heard this, she smiled again: "Is that so? Then if you can relieve us of some troubles, my lord, I can also lower the price, and some beemen will even directly pay you out of gratitude. I may be loyal to you, my lord."

Li Wei immediately knew that the topic was coming. The character of this witch is a little weird. Really, you just say that you have a task for yourself. Why bother to make such a big circle?
In the final analysis, you still don't have any experience dealing with God's Chosen Heroes, right?

"What exactly is the trouble?"

"Well, in the north five or six miles away from here, there are some fallen treants occupying an extremely rare sea of ​​flowers in the rocky highlands. There are about [-] or [-] of them. This has brought great joy to my bees. Troubled, children can't always eat meat, they also need nectar as a supplement."

Only then did Li Wei know that the beemen can eat meat, and besides the trolls and these beemen, there are other small forces in the rocky highlands. It seems that the wolf man's control over this place is not so complete. .

But that didn't matter, he was more interested in other words.

"A treeman, not a ratman? Will treemen also fall?"

The witch Greta was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes, all thinking and intelligent creatures have the possibility of falling. Even angels have fallen angels. How can tree people be an exception?"

"If my lord can defeat those fallen treants, I can make the decision. I will give you one beeman of level 1 and two beemen of level 2. In addition, the recruitment price of other beemen will be directly halved."

Even if it is halved, it is still very expensive, but considering that the opponent is a flying unit after all, and here is the wild, it is not easy to replenish troops, so overall it is considered acceptable.

The system prompt popped up immediately, and the task description was exactly as the other party said.

Now that it has been recognized by the system, Li Wei nodded in agreement, and then asked again: "How is the opponent's strength and what are their characteristics?"

"Well, they are all depraved and rotten treants with rough skin and thick flesh. They have 2nd to 3rd levels of strength. A small number of elites may have dark power, and it seems that some of them have become special tree incarnations. This further strengthens their strength."

"Tree incarnation?"

Treants are not a particularly rare type of unit. The wood elves of the natural department can recruit Tier 2 treants, and there are occasional opportunities to recruit them in the wild.

They are characterized by rough skin and thick flesh, good strength and physique, but they also have slow attack speed and movement speed, as well as the most deadly weakness of fire.

In Li Wei's view, the treant is somewhat like a weakened version of the earth element, and they can only be used as human shields.

It's just that this is the first time he's heard of the special term "tree incarnation".

Facing Li Wei's questioning, the witch Greta didn't have any impatience, because the more carefully the other party asked, the more sincerely she wanted to complete this task. If the other party agreed casually, and then went forward very recklessly To exterminate those tree people, she would have to doubt the other party's ability or intelligence.

So she just explained very patiently: "The local jackals will be divided into spotted, striped, and purple-black haired, which is based on their original race. The same is true for tree people."

"Birches are extremely hard and deadly when dried, and their tree avatars are more powerful;

Oak trees are tough and long-lived, and their arboreal avatars are especially defensive, though slower in movement;
Willow is the messenger of spring and the source of life. It can slowly restore its own health near water. "

"Based on the difference of their original tree species, they will be slightly different when they become treants and awaken tree incarnations. For other rarer tree species, the treants transformed into may also have rarer abilities."

"Of course, ordinary tree people can't do this by themselves, even ordinary druids can't do it. Either there is a special advanced step of druids-the tree shepherd, or there is some treasure gone."

Speaking of which, even though it was covered by the hood, Li Wei seemed to be able to feel that the other party's eyes were shining.

This girl, she doesn't look like a good person. If she just went there without asking, wouldn't it be possible to suffer a big loss later?

So he resolutely began to bargain with the other party: "If there is a tree shepherd, it will not be this price."

Gotta pay more!
Although Li Wei didn't say the last and most crucial three words, the witch Greta obviously understood what he meant.

She immediately rolled her eyes and smiled: "Well, there is indeed such a danger. In this case, I will give the promised bee man to you in advance. If there is a tree shepherd, as long as the man can get it back Kill its iconic item and give it to me, then I will make up some extra rewards afterwards, how about it?"

The witch Greta was so easy to talk to, but Li Wei was a little surprised, and now he was more and more suspicious of the other party's intentions.

But in any case, the system will not lie, following the words of the other party, he also received a reminder that 3 beemen are asking for allegiance to him.

So he nodded decisively: "Okay, then it's settled!"

Even if it is sugar-coated shells, he has to eat the sugar-coating first. He doesn't think that the other party can surpass the rules of the system. Since he has decided to be loyal to him, he should obediently be his subordinate!

Suddenly, he remembered his promotion to an official magician, so he tentatively asked: "One more thing, do you know how to be promoted to an official magician?"

In fact, when he asked, he already roughly expected that he might not get a particularly satisfactory reply.

After all, the other party's name has already indicated that she is a witch, not a magician!

Sure enough, the witch Greta shook her head: "Sorry, I'm just a lowly witch, and I don't know the situation, but I heard that it requires a magician of at least level 10 to preside over a magic ceremony. Row."

Li Wei was a little disappointed, but after nodding his thanks, he turned and left.

After they walked away, the witch Greta was still standing there with a smirk, and a dozen or so unusual beemen floated out of the hive.

Compared with ordinary beemen, they are larger in size and closer to humans, and even their wings look much tougher and thicker, especially the female beeman at the head, who has a completely different shape from other beemen. appearance.

Unlike those ordinary beemen who obviously have the characteristics of bees, she doesn't have that layer of long black and yellow hair on her body, she doesn't have tentacles on the top of her head, and her eyes are not compound eyes.

Except for the same two pairs of translucent wings on the back, and an extra pair of arms at the position of the ribs, she looks closer to a real human being, and she is also a beautiful woman wearing beautiful clothes woven from flowers and grass leaves .

It's just that she wears a big hat that looks like a mushroom canopy, which doesn't match her figure and looks a bit stupid.

"Mother Greta, why are you so tolerant of a high elf? We can also fight!"

Greta, the treacherous witch, seemed kind at the moment: "Janet, your mother and sisters all died in that battle for freedom, and you are the only surviving little queen of the tribe. And the only remaining soldier bees, we can't risk wasting any power until more eggs are hatched."

"Although this is not the Underdark, it is also full of dangers. Those jackals are really unusual, not to mention that the treants are especially restrained towards you beemen."

"If he really succeeds, it will be very helpful to your revival. Let's let him recruit some beemen, and it should be regarded as a contribution to the revival of the race!"

Although still a little ignorant, the female beeman named Janet nodded vigorously: "Yes, Mother Greta, everything is for the revival of the beeman tribe!"
