Chapter 721 - 684: Assistance from Divine Punishment City
Divine Punishment City Square, three shop owners took turns checking the letter. Meanwhile, Da Fei’s Blood Eagle stood by, quietly observing the developments, and took the opportunity to recover its Stamina.
Will couldn’t wait to open the materials pack, taking out one piece of Demon Skin after another from the pack and piling them into a small mountain on the ground. He couldn’t help but exclaim loudly, "11 pieces of Volcano Demon Scorpion, 1 piece of Volcano Demon Fox, 8 pieces of Volcano Demon Wolf, wait—this is, Volcano Earth Dragon! My God, my God!"
Ror nodded solemnly, "Defeating such powerful magical beasts shows the intense battles the Warriors have experienced behind enemy lines!"
Da Fei proudly let the Blood Eagle cry out again! Wahahaha, now you know how awesome and hardworking I am, right? Relying on you to send troops is unrealistic; just bring out any good stuff you have to reward me.
Finally, coming to his senses, Will shook the now empty materials pack and cried out in surprise, "How can this pack hold so much stuff? Is this pack a work from a Mortal?"
Pfft! Da Fei couldn’t help but burst out laughing. No wonder he felt that this ancient-patterned pack was special; it turns out Mayor Billbo really had some valuable items! It seems like developing Habbit Village is indeed worth the effort. Alright, once my Radiant City is fully settled down and begins its major development, I’ll borrow money if I must to develop both subordinate villages.
Now, Pharmacy owner Reilly was the first to express her stance, "I can provide Stimulating Potion and Light Magic Boosting Potion to speed up the continuous recovery of the Warrior Corps’ Life Physical Strength and enhance the effects of Light Magic, in hopes of offsetting the impact of the volcanic hell as much as possible."
Ror immediately said, "Very good, it must be powerful potions! Hurry up and prepare them."
Reilly nodded, "Understood!" She then immediately returned to the Pharmacy to prepare.
Oh yeah! The potions are taken care of.
Ror then asked, "As for the Demon Wolf King that the Warrior is trying to recruit, what are your thoughts?"
Mercenary owner Dor shook his head, "Abandon this unrealistic fantasy and focus on killing it to obtain its essence—that’s the right way."
Damn! Da Fei quickly had the Blood Eagle cry out in dissatisfaction! Don’t I know how to kill, what the right way is? I’m asking for you to think of a solution!
Ror frowned, "Killing the enemy might not be difficult, the challenge lies in capturing the enemy alive, and even more so in subduing it. We already have too many companions who have fallen and become one with the enemy. Can’t we recruit the enemy, allowing former foes to replenish our forces? The Warrior has already managed to capture the enemy alive; we can’t simply disregard the Warrior’s efforts!"
The Blood Eagle let out a long cry! Exactly, Miss Ror’s words are just perfect! If only, as a Blood Eagle, I had human rights and could applaud.
Dor said solemnly, "If you just want to make the Demon serve us it’s actually simple, just make a Demon Contract with it—"
Ror immediately objected, "No way! That would ruin the Warrior’s future! It’s not worth it, better to just kill it."
Exactly! If I were to make a Demon Contract, it would have to be with a Banshee like Deirdre who parades around bare-bottomed. Who would want to sign a contract with something bulky and unsophisticated like a Demon Wolf?
Dor shook his head, "I wasn’t finished! The Demon Wolf King is merely a beast with Demon Blood. If classified by Demon hierarchy, it might not even qualify as a lowly Demon Servant who does menial tasks for Mages, lacking even the eligibility to make a contract. So, making a contract is out of the question; therefore, I still suggest that the Warrior quickly kills it to obtain spoils of war."
Will was suddenly startled, "Dor, are you sure this Demon Wolf King is just a beast?"
Dor nodded, "Positive. In the ten thousand years of Divine Punishment War, powerful Demons throughout the mountains have been cleansed by Divine Suppression, but the Demon Wolf species has survived, which shows the Demon Wolf’s nature is not that of a Demon."
Will laughed heartily, "That’s right, I recall we have a Divine Power Staff in the armory that can exert Divine Suppression, perfect for punishing this Demon Wolf King. Since the Demon Wolf King is not a Demon, it won’t be cleansed by Divine Suppression, so there’s no worry about accidentally killing it. And since the Demon Wolf King indeed possesses Demon Blood, the pain suffered from Divine Suppression will be many times more painful than ordinary pain. Can a mere beast withstand such pain?"
Dor finally understood, "Right! That’s a solution! The rest is up to the Warrior’s skills and luck."
Da Fei was suddenly thrilled; not in vain is it Divine Punishment City, where even the smallest forces have valuable items!
Ror frowned, "But Divine Suppression is a Divine Art, and using a Divine Art with a Mortal’s body will undoubtedly inflict permanent damage on the Warrior’s body."
Permanent damage! Divine Arts? Da Fei’s heart tightened; things aren’t as good as they seemed, can’t this be any less frustrating?
Dor sighed, "Let him choose for himself, that’s all the help we can give."
Ror then said, "Okay, Will, go immediately to the armory and find the Divine Power Staff."
"Got it." Will turned around and hurried back to the store to search.
Holy crap, so the so-called armory is just your crappy shop, huh? At this moment, Da Fei was really anxious to see just how crappy this Divine Power Staff was. But no matter how crappy, as long as it can truly subdue the Demon Wolf King, our military’s combat strength will leap dramatically. Then the original plan to use the Holy Vine to ambush the BOSS, as well as the ambush on the Demon Caravan, wouldn’t be a problem at all, no matter how crappy the staff might be, it is worth it.
At this time, Dor shook his head and said, "I regret that I can’t help the warrior right now, but when the warrior triumphantly returns, I will use my personal merits to recruit a warrior for him."
Holy crap, make it clear, is it a regular warrior or an elite warrior, huh?
Now, the pharmacy owner, Reilly, who had finished her tasks, came to the Blood Eagle with a medical box marked with a red cross and smiled, "Warrior, there are 5 bottles of Stimulating Potion and 5 bottles of Light Amplification Potion in this medical box. When taken, they can affect the whole army; the more troops there are, the shorter the duration of the effect, so please use it wisely—can you hear me? Bark if you can hear me!"
"Woof!"
Reilly smiled even sweeter, "However, warrior, these medicines are actually not free. Consider it an advance reward from me. If you have any left, I can exchange them for reputation in Divine Punishment City."
I’m flabbergasted; we’re on the brink of war here, can we not talk about money? I know one bottle of this crap goes for 200 essences, and for the price of 3 bottles, I could get an Angel, so no way I’m buying. Anyway, I’m gladly taking it!
Just then, Will came running over with a golden, glittering staff: "Found it, this is the one! Make sure you think carefully when you use it!"
Da Fei couldn’t wait to check the staff attributes:
— Divine Power Staff: Divine Artifact, A rented item, quest item (Bound equip can’t be traded or dropped), Attack +30, Magic Power +30, can use the Divine Arts "Divine Suppression" 3 times. The effect is better when used by a Knight or Priest hero profession.
— Divine Suppression: Can directly launch a divine purification strike on the souls of demons within an area, possessing a very high chance to instantly kill demonic creatures. However, each use will reduce the user’s Life Limit by 100 points.
Crappy Divine Artifact! Da Fei spat, realizing that using it once comes with a loss in Life Limit! Isn’t that like losing several Life Books each time it’s used? Although for bosses with thousands of HP, a mere 100 points of life is nothing, but for player heroes who are awesome with just a few hundred HP, 100 life points is a huge deal! And there’s no guarantee it will even work with each use?
Holy crap! Alright, at this level, as long as I can win this battle, what’s a few Life Books? If I just speak up, by casually throwing out one Divine Artifact to sell, players all over the China Region would scramble to offer up their treasured Life Books as tributes.
Even if I fail to subjugate the Demon Wolf King, at least I’d get the BOSS’s equipment as spoils of war, so it wouldn’t be too much of a loss, right? Besides, the Divine Power Staff can be used 3 times; I’d keep one use specifically to beat other BOSSes, like that underground BOSS I originally planned for.
Anyway, I like it, wa-hahaha!
Will then said, "As for the full-body armor being made for the Hobbit Hero, I will give it some thought and design it for him first, so the warrior can rest assured. By the way, since the warrior has slain the Earth Dragon, I’ll just say it outright, I need better Earth Attribute Demon Skins, I also need a pair of work gloves made from Earth Attribute Demon Skins, or even better, a full-body armor, so that I can effectively counter the electrical shock of Titan’s Grasp, making it easier for me to fully engage in my work. If the warrior comes across such creatures, just—of course, I trust it would be easy for the warrior."
Da Fei was suddenly astounded. Use Earth Attribute Demon Skin as work clothes? What’s the logic in that? Like a grounding wire for a lightning rod? Anyway, it’s good there’s progress with Titan’s Grasp.
Thus, the Blood Eagle let out a cry to indicate understanding.
At that moment, Ror handed Billbo’s material pack to the Blood Eagle, "Warrior, the current state of the battle is likely not going to end quickly, inside this pack are 10 units of food and water, I hope the warrior won’t have to worry about supplies on the battlefield."
So Billbo’s pack can also hold 10 units of food and water, not just materials? Holy crap, is that like having a personal transport vehicle? Is this an amazing specialty of the Hobbits?
Anyway, there’s not much more to say, now the Blood Eagle is carrying the material pack, medical box, and staff in its three item slots, everything is ready to go!
Under the waving hands of the Angels, the Blood Eagle let out a long cry and returned home full of loot.
At this moment, Da Fei was thrilled, who would have thought that this simple courier mission could garner such significant and timely support! After all, with the Blood Eagle, this invisible transport plane, I can carry out prolonged operations behind enemy lines. That’s the awesomeness of high-tech! Haha, wa-hahaha!
