Ziwei Xingyao

Chapter 17 Bad news

Li Wei also went there with Zhang San. He has always said before that the main force in the village was taken away by their village chief to respond to the county magistrate's recruitment and participate in the battle of a ghost king. Being so low, he was bullied by some shrimp soldiers.

And if possible, Li Wei would also like to meet the old village chief. After all, the other party is an alchemist who can make mud servants. If he learns a few skills, his identity as a summoner will be more stable. ?

But when he saw the blood on the guy who didn't look like an ordinary militiaman, and the mournful faces of the surrounding militiamen, Li Wei felt that the news brought by the other party might not be good news.

Zhang San also had a similar feeling, so he kept asking questions: "Why are you the only one who came back? Where are the others? What happened?"

"Dead, all dead, we fell into the trap of the ghost king, even the old village chief died!"

"What?! Zhang Feng, tell me clearly!"

It didn't take a few minutes for Li Wei and everyone present to figure it out, because the thing was actually very simple. The new county magistrate who had just taken office thought he was a military god, but he was actually a waste.

He brought the garrison of the county and the county dispatched from various villages, plus some troops recruited by himself, and even some rangers, monks and Taoist priests, etc., the total number exceeded [-], and he thought that he would win this battle.

In the end, the other party was already prepared. Not only the ghost king of Daqingshan who was the target of their encirclement and suppression took the initiative to go down the mountain, but also several nearby monsters who occupied the mountain as king and led the monsters to join the battle. They first ambushed and then chased and killed them. Immediately died in sevens and eights.

The county magistrate himself was able to escape because of his personal guards, but the old village chief of Zhangjia Village couldn't run because of his old age, and his thigh was torn off by a bat demon that fell from the sky on the spot.

In order not to be dragged down, and to give others a chance to survive, he still resolutely chose to commit suicide, because he knew that if he did not die, the rest of the village would definitely stay and protect him, and everyone would be there by then. died with him.

But even so, after the opponent's pursuit all the way, plus the mountain spirits and wild monsters on the road, and finally successfully returned to the village, there was only the little hunter named Zhang Feng and two militiamen, just three people.

After hearing the other party finish speaking, everyone couldn't help falling into silence. This is really a terrible news, and many people even shed tears.

When they were fighting the Kraken before, even though the situation was critical, they didn't really despair, because they all knew that as long as they survived, they would be safe when the old village chief came back with his people.

But now, now they should worry about whether the village will be wiped out by other monsters who know the news.Because they lost not only their military strength, but also the most respected and wise old village head in the village!
Seeing Zhang San standing there with eyes wide open and no reaction at all, Zhang Feng, a young man covered in blood, took out a roll of parchment and said with a cry: "Brother Zhang, the old village chief said, after he leaves , you are still responsible for the daily defense of the village, but as long as someone can learn his clay figurine making skills, let him be the village head!"

After Zhang San heard this, his face was full of bitterness: "Learn it? Who in the village can learn it? Only alchemists can learn it."

Several people couldn't help being relatively silent for a while, not knowing what to say, the room was full of sadness and frustration.

Hearing this, Li Wei next to him couldn't help but look at the parchment scroll, which is probably the alchemist's skill book?I wonder if I can try it myself?
It doesn't matter if the village is not a village, he doesn't care, this dilapidated village looks very poor, but he is quite curious about the craft of making clay figurines. . .

"Zhang San, I have an unfeeling request. I don't know if I should say it or not." Although he said it to Zhang San, Li Wei's eyes turned to the parchment, and he was expressly expressing it to the other party.

Zhang San immediately understood, but he was a little hesitant. Although the other party saved the village and showed a very powerful ability, he was an outsider after all.

But Zhang San thought about it, the situation in the village is like this now, if this thing can be used to play a role, it is better than no one can learn it at all, and leave it there to eat ashes.And if the other party really learned the skills recorded above, he would definitely owe the village a favor, which would be a great thing for the village.

"Zhang Feng, did the old village chief say who must use it?"

The survivor named Zhang Feng pondered for a while, then shook his head: "No, the old village chief only said whoever has learned to be the village chief, but he didn't say that people from our village must be."

While talking, he secretly looked at the other party, he looked quite young, and he didn't know what ability he had. The two people behind him looked so majestic, even more majestic than the county lieutenant in the county. . .

Hearing what Zhang Feng said, Zhang San didn't hesitate anymore, and he directly handed the parchment to Li Wei: "My lord, here it is."

Li Wei didn't expect it to be so smooth. He borrowed it with a little joy, but he couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw it. What is this, oracle bone inscription?I can't understand it at all!And how do these fonts still glow?
Just when Li Wei's eyes were straightened, the slightly familiar purple starlight flashed, and the scroll also appeared a little bit of light, and then a lot of new knowledge immediately appeared in his mind, including the process of making mud puppets. Materials, methods, and how to drive them to fight, etc.

The system's prompt also sounded, saying that he had learned a brand new skill, and there were more than one.

Making puppets (primary, 0%): By consuming specified materials, puppets with combat functions can be produced. The current level is primary, and clay figurines of Tier 1 soldiers can be produced. The materials consumed are 3 units of soil, 1 unit of wood, 50 Copper coins, 50 energy, and any primary five-element material.

Enslaving puppets (beginner, 0%): Making puppets by hand and enslaving them is a compulsory course for many alchemists. The energy consumed by enslaving puppets is reduced by 10%, and the duration is extended by 10%.

The clay figurines are exactly the puppet units that Li Wei used to fight against the shrimp people at the entrance of the village. Their biggest feature is that they are extremely slow, but their defense is outstanding.

It stands to reason that this kind of unit is rarely useful in encounters. After all, it is a waste of time to carry them. Even the turtle can run faster than them. Their greatest use is to guard the door.

But Levi still decided to practice more when he had time. Unlike the star soldiers who could only stay for a short time, they were permanent and could make level 1 clay figurines at a basic level. They would definitely become more powerful after upgrading.

But what Li Wei didn't understand for the time being is, how much is a unit of soil?Is this about volume or weight?How much is a unit?How much does the whole clay figurine cost?

And what to do with the clay figurines after they are made?It may not be sold in Zhangjiacun. . .

A series of questions instantly overwhelmed Li Wei, and he couldn't help but sigh, really, I know so little about this world, if I knew I could travel through it, I should have played the game for a while!
"My, my lord, have you learned, learned?"

A slightly trembling male voice came from next to him. As soon as Li Wei looked up, he found that everyone, including Zhang San and Zhang Feng, was looking at him straightly, and their expressions were almost exactly the same. It was an inexplicable surprise. In addition, I couldn't believe it, but the expression of the leader Zhang San was more complicated.

Li Wei thought about it casually, and he knew that they must be because of what the old village chief said, but he didn't want to be the village chief of this dilapidated village, except that the chef who cooked for him yesterday was pretty good and made him eat very well. Other than that, what else is there in this small broken village?Not even a girl to look at!

So he put the sheepskin scroll back into Zhang San's hands very decisively: "I have indeed learned it, thank you, how about it, if you need me to make clay figurines, I can help."

Zhang San subconsciously took the parchment, but immediately shook his head: "No, sir, even if you made clay figurines, no one in our village can use them."

He is currently in a helpless state. The scene that happened in front of him is really too shocking. Although there are few people in the village who can use magic except the old village chief, he works as a personal guard under the county magistrate. I have seen some of them when I was young.
But he never knew that he could learn spells so quickly, let alone read it, he had never heard of it!
And regarding the words left by the old village chief, maybe I should discuss it with the village elders. . .

Hearing Zhang San's refusal, Li Wei felt a little regretful. Really, I couldn't get free materials, but it doesn't matter. I will go out for a couple of laps tomorrow, kill some ghosts and goblins, and come back to exchange some money. I think all the materials will be gone. Have!
