Chapter 161: Chapter 156 Teacher, You Are a Goddess!
Da Fei brought Anwen to a door in front of the deputy officer’s room. Opening the door, a fluctuating dungeon space gate appeared.
Anwen couldn’t help being moved: “What a great use of built-in spatial technology!”
Da Fei chuckled: “Yep, it took quite a bit of effort. Please come in, teacher!”
The scene changed, and a warm fragrant breeze with a unique sulfur scent hit them in the face. They arrived at the sumptuously decorated Banshee Camp, complete with silk drapes, jade cabinets, an exquisite fireplace, and an ivory bed.
Anwen exclaimed in surprise again: “Is this the Banshee Camp!?”
Eh? Could it be that I also have something to impress the old lady with? Da Fei couldn’t help feeling proud and chuckled: “Indeed, this is the Banshee Camp, Didi and Lili were summoned from here! There was also a Banshee Instructor, but now she’s out on a mission, so the camp can’t operate—”
As Da Fei spoke, he checked the camp’s status: Troop quota: 0! Zero! Da Fei’s chuckles abruptly stopped! Hope shattered like a burst soap bubble!
Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh deeply. After all, this wasn’t his own territory, and the banshees on the island certainly weren’t his own population. Such unreliable plans were bound to fail! However, knowing that it was unreliable meant that the smaller the hope, the smaller the disappointment. That’s why he called everyone together again for a brainstorming meeting.
Actually, Da Fei had several vague plans.
To obtain enemy troops, one option was to battle with enemy heroes, entering combat mode, then defeating them, and there was a certain chance to get a small number of the enemy’s lowest-level surrendering troops. That’s how the Abyss Lord came by. But obviously, this caused too many casualties and didn’t meet Da Fei’s expectation of capturing all of them. Besides, the enemies were leaderless wild monsters, which would not surrender because they were just monsters for leveling up.
Therefore, recruiting wild monsters involved a famous sub-skill under Leadership Skill called Diplomacy.
—Diplomacy: The hero has a certain chance before battle to persuade neutral or enemy troops in the wild to join their army. The chance of success is related to factors such as the hero’s level of Leadership Skill, the military power comparison of both sides, the enemy’s Morale and hostility level, race camp, and other comprehensive factors.
For a retired teacher like Anwen, who has Master Leadership Skill and is an educator that wins people over with virtue, of course, he also knows Diplomacy.
Without a doubt, from the literal introduction, this skill seemingly looks like a Divine Skill. Just take a massive army out to sweep through the map of wild monsters that respawn every week, wouldn’t the troops snowball more and more? And who would still need to spend money to recruit troops? But in reality, this certain chance turned out to be tremendously tricky! During public testing, players frustratingly discovered that sometimes leading more troops resulted in worse effects, with monsters directly fleeing in panic, not to speak of diplomacy, you couldn’t even level up properly. And with too few troops, monsters would start the battle without a second thought.
In short, this was completely a mysterious lottery skill that you couldn’t rely on at all. If you succeeded, it was certainly a pleasant surprise, and if you failed, it just meant a big battle and nothing more—as if it never happened. If the player had plenty of Skill Points, it could be considered a Compulsory Skill.
Although you can’t rely on this skill, for Da Fei, who was currently eager for success, this skill was like a life-saving straw! It’s like Mysterious Stealth Navigation, when various unreliable combinations come together, they somehow become reliable. This is the significance of the brainstorming meeting.
Now, the camp space fluctuated, and Catherine and Selvia also came in.
Catherine laughed and said: “Captain, I think we might as well use this place as a luxury conference room! Having meetings here really feels high-end and classy!”
Da Fei shook his head with a sigh, we can’t do this. We haven’t even won the battle yet, and we’re already enjoying ourselves. This trend must not continue!
At this moment, Anwen, who had been looking around, heard this and exclaimed in amazement: “It’s hard to believe that such a luxurious Banshee Camp is the first I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Da Fei was surprised: “Teacher, have you seen one before?”
Anwen nodded: “When I was young, I served in the army at the frontlines. Our troops had conquered many Demon cities, and I’ve seen plenty of Banshee Camps, which were just rooms with a brazier and a drawn Teleportation Array. The cultural values of the Hell Race are quite different from ours. They don’t really care about these luxuries, or to say, low-level demons simply don’t deserve such luxurious facilities—Oh right!” Anwen’s tone shifted: “Who helped you build this camp?”
Ah! Da Fei was taken aback, genuinely at a loss for words! Of course, the camp was repaired with the help of Mayor Auseliman! But could he really talk about such obvious backstage dealings?
Da Fei, having mixed in society for so many years, though not very successfully, still understood one principle when dealing with corrupt officials: Some matters should be known only to you and me and not to a third person’s ears! Even parents and wives should be kept in the dark, let alone this old lady who is clearly a retired official sent by the Kingdom. There’s no need to create unnecessary complications.
Da Fei could only laugh and say: “I asked some Grand Mages to help fix it through connections.”
“Grand Mages!” Anwen suddenly realized and laughed strangely: “It turns out to be so, a Banshee Camp with Mage characteristics indeed. No wonder it’s so luxurious, I’m finally fortunate enough to witness it today.”
Da Fei, surprised, asked: “What are Mage characteristics?”
Anwen shook her head: “Some things are inconvenient to talk about.”
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched! Her smile just now was so weird, exactly like the expression commonly seen on aunties! Could it be the story that must not be told between Mages and Banshees? That’s what I love to hear the most! Especially now when I am the only male here, with all my beloved harem around! Discussing such things in front of my harem is truly thrilling! Isn’t that why so many men like to tell dirty jokes in front of their female colleagues? To put it bluntly, it’s to sexually harass and assault their ears! It’s what gives men pleasure!
Da Fei eagerly said: “Teacher, teacher! Feel free to share, we’re all adults here, maybe there’s a breakthrough clue.”
Anwen laughed heartily towards Selvia: “Is she of age yet?”
Da Fei hurriedly said: “She’s a Nun, pure and unaffected by mud! Being worldly is her cultivation!” Hahaha, telling dirty jokes to a spotless Saintess, it’s even more exhilarating and satisfying for men!
Anwen laughed: “It’s actually not that exaggerated. In short, when Males Mages study Demons, Banshees are an unavoidable private topic. There’s a saying that when men gather, most topics are about women. Young Male Mages gathering to exchange their experiences often end up discussing Banshees. After all, compared to ordinary human females, Banshees have unmatched advantages and attentiveness. They won’t get angry because their master is a geek, nor will they turn their faces because the master is poor, making them ideal females, the most loyal companions on the arduous path of young Male Mages.”
Da Fei nodded repeatedly: “Exactly, exactly!” Banshees are indeed great.
Anwen, shaking her head with a smile, said: “Ultimately, it’s just because Banshees, as Demons, have different values, and they pursue different things. In any case, after generations of geeky Mages put their heart and soul, exhausted and passionately devoted to research, the technique of summoning banshees has become very mature and advanced, far ahead of other demonology subjects by ages, and even surpassing the Hell Race is not surprising. This luxurious Banshee Camp is proof. I suppose this is also an important reason why the Captain could easily find people to build a Banshee Camp.”
What a “heart and soul, totally spent” research! Da Fei couldn’t help but clap and exclaim: “Teacher said it so well!”
Anwen shook her head and sighed: “Anyway, I have confiscated many little booklets related to Banshees from my male students. In fact, the issue of Banshees is a major problem that troubles us educators. These young students, weak in strength and not focusing on the right things, are obsessed with Banshees, totally unaware that Banshees are always Demons and beyond their energy to handle.”
Da Fei nodded again, realizing: Indeed! This must be a very troubling problem for teachers, teachers have a hard time.
Anwen smiled: “In any case, with such complete and comprehensive Array facilities, and the target is within reach, I can also summon Banshees, but it requires special sacrifices.”
Da Fei was ecstatic: “Teacher! You are great! But what is the special sacrifice?”
Anwen took out a yellowed booklet that looked like a manual and chuckled while flipping through it: “Usually, it’s Males Mages’ own Life Essence, but I suggest the Captain use treasures for the sacrifice.”
What Life Essence! Young Mages have plenty of Life Essence, the deal is definitely worth it! I also have lots of it! But still, let’s use treasures.
Da Fei excitedly pulled out a big telescope and asked: “Is a C-grade treasure enough?”
Anwen laughed heartily: “For those kids, such glittering treasures are more than enough!”
Haha! Hahaha! Teacher, you are a Goddess!!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
