The most typical example is that the danger level of Anphispina was directly increased by one level under the blessing of the water venue.
So even though the Wind Dragon's abilities and attributes are not as strong as Barol's, the fact that it can fly alone has already made it a huge winner.
You said so, Groudon.
"… His abilities are similar to Barol's, and he can fly…"
"Not only that, the Wind Dragon also has the ability to manipulate storms. You can think of this ability as magic, magic of Livilia's level."
Then, Lieyan continued to add: "Ancient dragons like the Wind God Dragon have the power to change the terrain. They can almost be regarded as the embodiment of natural disasters."
Hearing this, Grace took a breath of cold air instantly.
Flying monsters are not uncommon in dungeons, such as the poisonous moths that appear on the upper level, the dragonfly monsters in the middle tree maze area, and the evil flying dragons in the deep dragon pot area. These are all very typical monsters with flying abilities.
These flying monsters of varying strengths can be said to have appeared throughout all the adventures of the adventurers, leaving a deep impression on all of them.
However, these monsters will only pose a considerable threat to adventurers if they gather together. Even adventurers of a higher level dare not easily challenge them. If they act alone, they are actually considered weak among monsters of the same level. As long as they adapt to the opponent's attack method, they can be dealt with in a short time.
But if you say there is a being that can fly, has abilities comparable to Barol, can rival the magic of the city's highest-level fire magician, and can even be considered the incarnation of natural disasters...
Oh shit, this is unbelievable.
This is incredible.
Just thinking about how terrifying such a monster is, Grace is already starting to get a headache.
It can be said that facing a monster of this level, except for the top handful of LV 6 and LV 5, the rest of the Loki clan are basically useless.
Apart from Lefiya, there are only a few warriors with the strength of Level V.4, and they are not even qualified to take a look at the battlefield. Even if they are Level 4, it is difficult for them to play a role.
As for the LV 3 adventurer.
All I can say is that whenever they dare to show their heads, they will immediately start to play famous scenes like "There is no time to mourn the fall of XXX, the next one to arrive on the battlefield is XXX" on a loop.
but--
If a LV·7 Labyrinth King-level monster that can fly freely can be successfully defeated, it can indeed be regarded as a higher-level feat that surpasses LV·6.
No wonder Lieyan said this ancient dragon might be the key to our upgrade.
If this kind of existence is not enough, then I really don’t know what kind of great deeds can allow us to be promoted to a higher level...
Grace thought silently in her heart.
If that's the case, then there's only one question left.
"When will the battle take place?"
The dwarf warrior straightened his back, exuding a strong fighting spirit. He couldn't wait to fight the wind dragon.
"It's not clear yet. The guild is currently investigating the location of the Wind Dragon. So far, we only have a rough location, but the impact of the Wind Dragon has indeed emerged. The reason I'm looking for Finn is not only about the Wind Dragon, but also this matter."
Lieyan shook his head and sighed.
To be honest, a wind dragon that has the ability to fly is not a good target to pursue. It is too difficult for humans to track a wind dragon that can fly at an altitude of thousands or tens of thousands of meters.
If you want to fight it, you probably have to wait for it to lead a hundred dragons at night and come to Yanhuo Village on its own initiative.
"I see. To be honest, I was just thinking about how I would inform Finn and Livilia in the dungeon that they are back if you answer me now."
Hearing Lieyan's words, Grace's aura slowly dropped, and then he made a joke.
"However, as you just said, the influence of the Wind Dragon has already emerged..."
"Ah, it is because of the activeness of the Wind Dragon that the monsters in the area around Yanhuo Village have become active again. In order to prevent these monsters from gathering in large numbers during the Night Parade of Hundred Dragons, the village decided to take the initiative and issued a number of tasks. The people in the branch have now begun to carry out their tasks.
Didn't Aisi always want to hunt? This time I had the chance, so I planned to take her, Lefiya, and Angie to form a four-person team to carry out the mission together. But I didn't expect Aisi to go down to the dungeon with Finn and the others."
Lieyan poured out his thoughts like beans from a bamboo tube, with helplessness visible on his face.
You said this happened.
Before there was no mission, Aisi always pestered him. Now that there was a mission, Aisi went to the dungeon again, and also dragged another teammate who was in the growth range with her...
Grace: “…”
For some reason, I felt a little sympathy for Aisi. If Aisi came back and knew about this... I feel like she would be depressed for a while.
Hey, wait.
If that's the case, there are two empty spots for Lieyan's original teammates, which means...
Grace's eyes flashed.
"But then you'll be short of teammates, right? Do you have any other options besides Guimao (Angie)?"
"The other candidates... Raul is already working there. As for the others, let's pick Linie. She's a level 2 healer. If she participates in the hunting missions that my current rank can undertake, she should be able to gain feat-level experience like me."
"In that case, we're still one short." Grace stroked his beard meaningfully and smiled.
"Well, Grace, what can you recommend?"
Lieyan thought about it. Although he felt that as long as the number of people was not five, it would be fine. Three would not matter either. But since Grace said so, he would let him recommend it.
"So what do you think of me?"
Lieyan: "..."
Chapter 88, Flame: It's really me
"...No, old man, why are you here to join in the fun?"
In the awkward silence, Lieyan showed the dwarf veteran a somewhat amusing expression.
His current teammates are Angie and Linie. Angie's strength is not much different from Raul's, she is LV 4 and is on the verge of upgrading, while Linie is LV 2 like him. However, Linie is a healer and supporter, and the role she can play in the team is the same as his. It cannot be judged by level alone.
The reason why he chose Angel as his teammate was actually to see if Angel could accumulate great deeds in the few missions he had carried out, and to experiment what kind of monster could allow a top-level LV 4 adventurer to accumulate great deeds.
It's good to have this as a reference. It would be even better if Angel could improve her level because of these experiments.
Originally, he actually wanted to bring Raul along, but Raul seemed to be doing well on his own, so he didn't care. He simply treated Raul as a variable outside the plan and let him grow wildly.
As for Linie, on the one hand, he wanted the little sister to gain some experience and achieve great things, but on the other hand, he also had the idea of conducting an experiment. Even the other members of the team who had already started various hunting operations were actually included in his experimental ideas.
At what level can you grow by killing what level of monsters, can everyone grow as fast as him, and how will the experience growth data proceed if you form a team? With the data of Linie and others, you can have a rough psychological expectation.
It can be said that Lieyan has some ideas in choosing teammates.
But how come you also come to join in the fun?
A LV·6 level elder also wants to take advantage of the experience of a LV·4 inner disciple?
The key issue is that your experience points have reached the upper limit. Now you just need the materials to break through the limit and break through the level cap. You don't need experience points at this stage.
"Just tell me if it's okay."
Grace's eyes unconsciously turned to the documents covering the entire desk, but after just a moment, she retracted her gaze as if she was burned, and asked with determination.
"Well, let me think about it..."
Lieyan fell into thought.
Actually, it's not impossible to bring Grace along for the hunt.
From the last hunting of the rock dragon, we can see that when adventurers face monsters they have never seen before, they may fail even if they are prepared. Of course, this is also related to their own underestimation of the enemy.
But to be honest, if it weren't for Livilia's precise support, both Level 5 Ace and Bert would have been hit hard by the Rock Dragon. They would have been injured for sure, but how serious the injury would be would depend on fate.
From this perspective, bringing along Grace, a LV 6 adventurer, seems to be a very good choice.
After all, the monster he was going to hunt next did not have the same defensive capabilities as the rock dragon in terms of scales, but its individual ferocity was much stronger than that of the rock dragon who was only interested in being a fat man.
Even he couldn't guarantee the safety of his teammates. If Grace were used as an insurance in the battle, it would effectively reduce the risks that might arise for the team.
Moreover, it seems that Grace has not really fought with the monsters on his side yet, so he can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the ecology over there.
Very good, then take it with you.
Soon, Lieyan convinced himself.
But... it seems that Grace still has some official business to deal with... Well, it shouldn't matter. Anyway, he can open the portal anytime and anywhere. At worst, he can send Grace to the headquarters during the break and let him deal with the official business.
The problem is not big.
As expected of me.
Lieyan showed a satisfied smile, and then said: "I agree to your joining, old man, but I hope you won't take action unless it is necessary."
"Really?!... Ahem, I mean, I understand. Just like in previous expeditions, we should give opportunities to the young people."
Grace's eyes suddenly widened, and after a moment she seemed to realize something. She coughed a few times, and her voice became steady and powerful again.
"Well, without further ado, I will gather Angie and Linie. Where is the meeting place?"
"Just here."
There was a smile on Lieyan's face that Grace found difficult to understand.
Instinctively, Grace felt something was wrong, but in his eagerness to get rid of the mountain of documents in the room, he thought it was just his illusion and didn't take it to heart.
Could the flames harm me?
In this way, the dwarf warrior convinced himself. So, he nodded heavily, said "OK", and then pushed the door open impatiently, as if there was an invisible monster chasing him from behind.
Seeing this, Lieyan shook his head slightly and laughed.
I didn't expect that this dwarf veteran who was as strong and resolute as a rock actually had such a lovely side. He was so happy to see the monsters from another world with his own eyes.
I hope this happiness can last forever, after all, it will be very painful afterwards.
Grace moved quickly. Ten minutes later, Angel and Linie, wearing their respective equipment and weapons, gathered in the captain's office, including Grace.
There was no one present who didn't know about the existence of the Monster Hunter World, including Linie - but Linie only knew about the existence of the Monster Hunter World, but had never been there in person.
When the two people were found, Grace had already explained everything clearly, so Lieyan didn't pretend anymore. He waved his hand and directly opened the portal.
Linie opened her eyes wide when she saw the existence of the world gate for the first time.
This is... the door to another world...
Although Linie was one of the first people besides the top members of the team to know about the existence of the Monster Hunter World, she has never had the chance to go to the other world because in the early days of the development, the Monster Hunter World needed people who could fight rather than healers.
But this time, the door to another world appeared right before her, and a trace of self-doubt suddenly emerged in her heart.
Can I really do it myself?
