The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 15 Hidden money among mages

Xu Lai didn't wait too long for the answer. About ten minutes after the homeless camp was built, the tent started to move.

The tent curtain was opened, and a taciturn man wrapped in a red robe walked out.

Seeing the figure, Xu Lai basically breathed a sigh of relief. Although this man was wrapped in a robe, his figure was still human.

The empire, towers, and elves all have humanoid bodies. The swamps and elements in the neutral three camps have nothing to do with humanoids. Although orcs are humanoid, they are much rougher than normal humans.

"Um, can you put your hood down?"

Xu Lai was really curious about this person and couldn't help but ask.

But then he realized that the person who came out of the wanderer camp should also be the monster they called Lazi. It was a unit that only heroes and nobles could recruit. Otherwise, it shouldn't be obtained with only more than 100 gold coins.

Xu Lai originally thought that this guy would ignore him. After all, the two parties had no affiliation yet, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him actually put down his hood.

After the hood was put down, something magical happened. The hood that could cover the entire face turned into a pair of stand-up collars standing up behind the woman's head.

That's right, what appeared in front of Xu Lai was a female monster with long fiery red hair and a large area of ​​skin exposed below the neck. About one-third of the winding peaks were exposed to Xu Lai's eyes.

Xu Lai swallowed secretly, and before he could react, he heard the woman opposite say:

"Dear camp owner, I am a witch and will be wandering in this camp for 15 days. During this period, you can recruit me to work for you. You only need to pay me 500 gold coins."

Xu Lai, who just thought the price was cheap, immediately turned down. The price was not cheap.

The key is that Xu Lai doesn't have any information about the witch and has no idea whether 500 gold coins are worth it. After all, a level 2 shooter only needs 50 gold coins to advance to level 3.

Suddenly, Xu Lai turned his attention to Su Ya again.

However, Su Ya smiled bitterly at this time and said: "My master, I don't know anything about witches either."

Xu Lai said disappointedly: "Don't you know anything?"

Su Ya thought for a while and said: "Witches rarely appear on the mainland because the proud tower mages do not allow women to learn magic, so they always hide in the wilderness.

But I heard that witches are good at all kinds of witchcraft. Although the damage is not as exaggerated as the mages, the effect is very magical. "

Xu Lai's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean, witches are very rare, right?"

Su Ya nodded and said: "Witches are just like magicians. Most of them may never see them in their lifetime, and they often only exist in legends."

Hearing this, Xu Lai laughed and said to the witch: "Okay then, I'll hire you. Just give the money directly to you, right?"

The witch nodded, and then took the 500 gold coins from Xu Lai calmly.

The next moment, the 500 gold coins disappeared out of thin air in the witch's hands, as if they had never existed.

At the same time, Xu Lai also received the information about this witch. As he expected, this witch was a hidden unit that did not exist in the unit tree.

[Witch]: A level 4 remote spellcasting unit from the Human Empire (Tower), consuming 1 unit of food per day and possessing 360 mana points.

Characteristic 1: Spellcasting unit, the witch can release designated spells by consuming mana.

Feature 2: Witches can cast spells remotely.

Feature 3: The witch can transform into an eagle (cannot use spells, physical attack increases by 30 points, agility increases by 10 points) and flies. Each transformation consumes 100 mana points.

Witch's spell list: 1. Acid spell (default spell, adjustable), causing 30 points of corrosion damage to the target, reducing the armor of the attacked position by 3 points (consuming 15 mana points)

2. Disintegrate the ray, reducing the target's body armor by 6 points and causing 10 points of damage (consuming 20 points of mana).

3. Weakness, reducing the attack power of targets within a small range (5 meters * 5 meters) by 3 points. (Consumes 25 mana points)

4. Slowness, reducing the movement speed of targets within a small range (5 meters * 5 meters) by 25%. (Consumption of 30 mana points)

5. Disease, causing continuous damage of 1.5 points per second to targets within a small to medium range (9 meters * 9 meters), lasting for one minute, and cooling down for one hour. (Consumes 60 mana points)

Xu Lai thought about the witch's ability. Overall, it was worthy of being a hidden level 4 spellcasting unit, much nobler than level 2 trainee shooters and level 3 shooters.

Almost all of the witch's abilities are to add debuffs to the enemy. If used well, it may be possible to change the outcome of a small battle.

If it is not used well, it will not be very effective. To be honest, the lethality of these spells of the witch is relatively poor.

In addition, the witch's spell list was not large, with only 5 spells, which was far from the image of a mage he imagined.

Su Ya gave an explanation for this. She told Xu Lai that these monster soldiers mentioned by the gods did not have independent personalities at all, so they could only master a few fixed spells that had been instilled.

Just like priests, the more devout the priests are and the more they are loved by the gods, they will often receive more divine grace, allowing them to gain powerful power by simply praying without learning.

Also because of their lack of independence and almost no thinking ability, apart from the fixed spells, they are unable to learn new spells unless they are instilled again when they advance.

In addition to spells, the wizards in the tower also master many super-magical skills, such as classic instant spells, silent spells, etc.

These super magic skills are also something that monster mages will never be able to master and learn.

However, monster mages also have their advantages. The few spells they have been instilled have become instinctive. Not only is the cost of casting spells less than that of normal mages, but even the casting speed is far beyond that of normal mages.

Moreover, as a hidden female mage, the witch also has the ability to transform into an eagle, which greatly improves her flexibility and combat capabilities.

After being recruited by Xu Lai, the witch became silent again.

Perhaps it's because of the hidden military type, but the witch's face is extremely delicate, not inferior to the various stars on the Internet.

Coupled with her plump figure, even Su Ya, who has been promoted to a general, lacks a little charm compared to her.

Xu Lai didn't dare to stare at her any longer, and since he had already received the reward, he was too embarrassed to keep putting off the task.

Originally, Xu Lai estimated that he had little hope of completing this task, so he thought about whether he could buy the drawings with money first.

Gein and his group were not familiar with the environment here at all, and Su Ya, the only one who was somewhat familiar with it, was not good at tracking skills at all.

So if they want to find the lair of the group of prairie wolves in this vast grassland, they can always find a needle in a pond instead of a needle in a haystack.
