There are no angels in the world of Azeroth. However, paladins have a skill that conjures up a pair of angel wings made of holy light to fight on their backs.
Moreover, this Monster Treasure House is also appearing for the first time. It's like encountering wild enemies on the map, and you have to control your hero to fight and defeat the griffins inside in order to obtain the angel.
Griffins are very strong in ground fighting and can launch endless counterattacks, making them quite troublesome to encounter in the wild. They are also extremely fast.
However, the skeletons accumulated in his own castle could easily take down the royal griffins or ordinary griffins.
Now Rhode is curious about what will happen after visiting this treasure house, and what the fighting style will be like.
Is it a combat system like Heroes of Might and Magic, or like the open world?
Rhodes felt that it should be different from reality; this kind of monster treasure house should have the same combat mode as in the Heroes of Might and Magic III game.
When considering how to defeat the monster Treasure House, Rhodes is debating whether to send his own Strong Brother or Soye. He already has over 600 skeletons under his command, so even the highest-level Griffin Treasure House with four angels can be easily defeated.
"Finally done, Rhodes. What are you thinking about? Don't tell me the Titan Guardians sent you something from afar again." The female mage turned to Rhodes and said with a serious expression.
"What are you thinking? Nothing of the sort," Rod said speechlessly.
We haven't gotten the angel yet, and it needs to be enhanced by Holy Light before we can get it.
Will humanity place more faith in the angels or in the Naaru then? Rhodes was a little curious.
"???" Three big question marks appeared above the female mage's head. So, Rhodes didn't get a reward this time? She felt a little uncomfortable.
Or perhaps the reward has already been given in advance—that lightning magic scroll! This magic is quite powerful, even better than summoning elements in terms of practicality; it's a highly lethal spell.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go. We can leave Violet Prison now. All the threats here have been eliminated," Rhodes said, patting Jaina on the shoulder.
"Oh! Alright, we'll take you out! But could I possibly borrow that lightning magic scroll to study it?" the female mage asked.
This magic is incredibly useful! And it's not fire magic, which she's not good at; it's pure arcane magic that summons lightning, which gives the female mage a strong desire to study it.
Actually, the magical arrow that Rhodes often uses, which is fired from pure arcane energy, seems more suitable for his research. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the same scroll for himself, otherwise the magical arrow would be more practical.
“If you want to study this magic scroll, of course, no problem. We’re like family! Here you go,” Rhodes said with a smile.
Rhodes was too embarrassed to ask the female mage for anything in return. When they first met, she generously taught him a whole bunch of frost spells, and she helped him a lot on their journey afterwards.
Whether it's Stratholme, Tyr's Tomb, or the capital city of Lordaeron, or this time, helping me clean up Violet Prison.
The two of them will be fighting side by side when they travel to Kalimdor in the future, so it's perfectly fine for them to study the magic scroll of Thunderbolt.
The female mage was of great help to him, so Rhodes naturally wouldn't treat her as harshly as he had with Kael'thas and King Terenas.
Upon hearing this, Jaina smiled with satisfaction. That was more like it. It would be too hurtful if Rhodes asked her for payment!
During this period, I have provided Rod with meticulous assistance.
"Hehe! I can't just take your things for nothing. How about this? I'll reward you with a date with me!" Jaina said, her eyes darting around.
You're giving it to me for free, so I can't just take it for nothing! I'll give you a little reward.
Holy crap! Rhodes was shocked. "Are you kidding me? The reward is a date with you!"
Holy crap! Don't I have a death wish?! Kevna!
"What's with that expression? Is going on a date with me such a disservice to you?" The female mage's face darkened immediately as she spoke.
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that we've known each other for so long, we're old acquaintances, and we often go shopping together, which is almost like going on a date!"
"So don't be so formal. You can study the magic scroll as long as you want. Anyway, you're with me, so you can return it to me whenever you need it," Rhodes said.
"No way! I won't take your things for nothing. Go back and get some rest tonight to recover your strength."
"Come with me to Dalaran tomorrow, and I'll take you to try some of Dalaran's local delicacies. It's settled then." The female mage finished speaking and, without giving Rhodes a chance to object, turned and left.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, can we talk about this?" Rhodes.
Damn it, I should have just asked for an exorbitant amount. Why the hell did I have to pretend to be so generous?
What's with being entangled with that rascal Na?
In the end, Rhodes had no choice but to return to Antonidas's mage tower with the female mage. It was already late at night. Rhodes and the female mage spent the entire day clearing out the monsters in Violet Prison.
Archmage Anthony commended the two and counted them as having jointly completed a mage tower cleanup mission in Dalaran.
After chatting with Antonidas for a while, the female mage and Rhodes returned to their respective rooms to rest.
"Rhodes, would you like to come to my room and talk?"
"Ahem! No need! I'm exhausted today. We'll have plenty of time to chat tomorrow. Tonight I'll take a look at the Thunderbolt magic scroll, and I'll give it to you tomorrow." Rhodes waved his hand guiltily, then quickly closed his door.
Looking at the closed door, the female mage was speechless. She had indeed intended to test him, but Rhodes' reaction made her somewhat unhappy.
I'm not here to talk about anything else, I just want to discuss magic with you, your magical units, and magical items.
What do you mean by being so scared?! You're in for it tomorrow, I'll make sure you're exhausted from all that shopping!
Back in his room, Rhodes sighed helplessly. What bad luck! He'd actually been chosen by the infamous, ruthless woman from Azeroth!
Why don't you just pretend to be sick tomorrow? Or find some other excuse, like an upset stomach or dizziness.
Shopping with women is such a torture!
I'd rather spend the whole day playing dungeons, okay?
Sitting on the bed, Rhode clicked on the hero interface and began to think about who to send into battle this time.
Soye's Chain Lightning is very powerful, but if you use it in the Treasure House terrain, it will definitely hit friendly forces.
However, Lord So has already visited the magic guild in the city and the primary magic temple outside the city, so he can release a group damage spell, Death Ripple, when the time comes!
Alternatively, equip yourself with the newly acquired Thunderbolt Scroll; two Thunderbolts should be enough to wipe out a group of griffins.
Moreover, since Soye will be going out with him in the future, he will need more levels and experience. Rhode estimates that after clearing this treasure house, Soye should be able to level up to level 2.
After thinking for a moment, Rhodes immediately divided his forces, transferring all 600-plus skeletons to Lord So, while the remaining troops—Lord So's own stone golems, Little Diudiu, and gargoyles—were thrown into the city.
When the undead race goes to war, their skeleton soldiers are the strongest.
Rhode equipped Thor with the magic scroll of Thunderbolt, and then directly controlled him to leave the city and visit the Griffin Treasure House.
You have discovered a nest guarded by a griffin. Do you wish to launch an attack?
Without a word, Rhodes selected the checkmark. Then, the system interface changed, displaying a classic Heroes of Might and Magic battle scene.
The familiar music started playing! It made Rhodes' blood boil; this was the Heroes of Might and Magic battlefield he knew! It was a grid-based strategy game with units.
Five groups of griffins, four of which are ordinary griffins, and one is a royal griffin with a white neck!
The usual number is around 25, but this time there are a total of 100 griffins, so this is going to be a tough battle!
Due to its speed, the white royal griffin launched the first attack, killing 20 of its own skeleton soldiers with a single strike. The skeleton soldiers then retaliated, killing 15 royal griffins.
Then, after being attacked by the remaining four groups of griffins, it was finally Rhodes' turn to act. First, it was the turn of magic. Rhodes chose to release Death Ripple, a group damage spell that killed two or three of the griffins present.
Instead of controlling the skeletons to launch a counterattack, I went to the top left corner of the map. There, I could find a spot where only two griffins could attack me at a time, preventing the computer-controlled griffins from hitting the skeletons.
The following battles were rather boring: skeletons were attacked, skeletons retaliated, griffins were attacked, griffins retaliated, and Soye unleashed magic!
After losing more than 280 skeletons, Rhodes successfully took down 100 griffins.
What a fierce battle!
But we finally won! Over 100 griffins are really not to be trifled with! The main problem is that these things have the ability to counterattack infinitely; even an ordinary griffin can counterattack twice!
Rhodes couldn't split the skeletons into six groups to bait the enemy, so he could only use magic to block the skeletons' positions and fight them head-on.
Chapter 78 Angels, the Legend of the Valkyries, Odin's Apostles
A glorious victory! Your hero has gained 3600 experience points and leveled up to level 2! Your hero has leveled up to level 3!
This battle allowed Soye to level up two levels in a row, reaching level 3. Rhode added one of his two attribute points to Strength and the other to Intelligence.
Now Thor's magic will be even more powerful, especially his Chain Lightning move.
After leveling up twice, Soye's skills have also been updated. Soye's innate skills are basic Wisdom and Magic, and this time, intermediate Wisdom and basic Air Magic have appeared.
After thinking for a moment, Rhode chose to upgrade his air magic, since he was going to use chain lightning, and air magic would be better.
The second upgrade option is to raise your magic power to medium or learn basic diplomacy.
Basic diplomacy! In the game, Rhodes would have chosen this almost instantly without hesitation. It's a truly divine skill, without any controversy.
But in reality, would you use this diplomatic skill to conduct diplomacy with someone and persuade them to join your army? That's simply impossible, isn't it?
The native creatures of Azeroth are self-aware, so diplomacy is obviously not very useful. It's a pity that the game's god-tier skills are completely useless.
Rhodes sighed helplessly and chose to upgrade Soye's skill to intermediate magic power, increasing magic damage by 10%. Now, the chain lightning damage released by Soye can reach around 200 in the first round.
Although he killed over a hundred griffins, unfortunately, he didn't summon a single skeleton soldier, because Thor didn't have the Necromancy skill.
However, if we don't send Thor to fight and instead send Stanker, although he can still win, the losses of the skeleton soldiers will probably be greater. Thor's magic is quite powerful, with the release of lightning and death waves!
The magic killed a large number of griffins; otherwise, 100 griffins could theoretically easily crush 600 skeletons!
Of course, that's assuming the computer knows how to move. If it doesn't know how to move, you still can't beat it. If it does know how to move, you can do it without taking any damage.
You have conquered this griffin's treasure house and rescued two angels who were imprisoned inside. The two angels are grateful for your rescue and have pledged their allegiance to you!
Two angels, each about 3 meters tall, with long black hair, handsome faces, a golden halo on their heads, a pair of pure white wings on their backs, bare feet, and holding a single-handed sword, appeared before De.
Angels are very sacred beings; they fly in the sky, and it is said that when an archangel appears, the entire army is inspired. Morale is boosted.
Although he is just a little angel, if we can find a mountain fortress or a castle city in the future, we can upgrade him to the Archangel Hairy Guy.
Two angels stood in the room, kneeling on one knee to pledge their allegiance to Rhodes. Unlike hero units, no matter how advanced a unit is, as long as it comes from the system, it does not actually possess true intelligence.
They don't even need to eat or rest.
Looking at the two angels in front of him, Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction. Trading 280 skeletons for two angels was still a good deal, and these two angels could play a great role.
Rhodes originally planned to summon five Holy Light Elementals to test them out right now, but after thinking about it, he gave up. However, he was already exhausted after a fierce battle today.
The experiment of the angel absorbing holy light can be done tomorrow, and it will also be a good excuse to decline the female mage's invitation to the date.
After observing the angels for a while, Rhodes put the two angels back into his system space and then lay down to rest for the night without saying anything more.
The next morning, while Rod was sound asleep, a sudden, urgent knocking on the door startled him awake.
"Rhodes, get up quickly. We'll go have breakfast first, and then you can come with me for a walk. I've already planned out today's itinerary."
"You have to come with me to the jewelry store, the magical clothing store, the flower shop, and finally we'll go see an opera," Jaina said.
"Ahem! Gina! I'm afraid I have to apologize for today's date, because I suddenly have something very important to take care of." Rod rubbed his eyes and sat up to say this.
