Chapter 489 3 years (1)
Time flies, and before she knew it, it has been almost three years since Lido came to the Qingyan City Legion. Her service period will soon meet the minimum standards stipulated by the Imperial Code, but Lido still holds the idea of retiring from the legion after her service period.
Ever since the battle to encircle the Demon Soul Spider Nest and destroy the giant monster nest and the large monster army, the Legion has given Lido a lot of freedom. They will not easily issue tasks to Lido, nor will they disturb Lido with ordinary tasks. Most of the time, Lido can act freely.
Moreover, the organization of the special operations team was not disbanded, although no new personnel were added after Hu Zhongyan and Wanshi were cleared out.
During these three years, Liduo led the remaining seven people to sweep the Hengduan Mountains.
So far, Liduo has drawn a complete map of the Qingyan City Legion's defense area to the central stone peak cliff of the Hengduan Mountains, and has expanded her footprint to the defense area of another legion on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains.
Lido drew these maps in duplicate, one copy was handed over to the legion and the other was kept by herself. Now they have become the treasure of the Qingyan City Legion.
In the magical continent where geological disasters are rare, the landforms change very slowly. Even if some powerful monsters or demons appear and cause changes in the terrain, the scope of the impact is limited, and there will hardly be drastic changes such as landslides and earthquakes. Therefore, these maps can be used for hundreds of years without any problems.
Moreover, Lido also accurately marked the location of each lava cave on these maps, regardless of size, even the smallest lava cave was not missed, so the treasure of the group is truly worthy of its name.
Whenever they encountered a lava cave in the mountains, if it was a micro or small lava cave, Lido would bring the special operations team to lure out the monsters inside and kill them all.
Afterwards, Lido will enter the lava cave alone to kill the young monster in the deepest part of the cave, and then use her mental power to test the place where the monster was born to see if she can stimulate it to release more dark magic elements like the "Spider Queen".
Because when other members of the special operations team were collecting materials from the monster's corpse, Lido would place the large spiritual stone in front of the barrier where the monster was born, where the dark magic elements were the most concentrated, to allow it to absorb energy.
However, Liduo did not dare to place the Great Spiritual Stone too close to the barrier. Although she knew the possibility was small, Liduo was still worried that the "tree roots" behind the barrier would suddenly come out of the barrier and swallow her Great Spiritual Stone, so it was safer to keep it farther away.
Unfortunately, Lido has never succeeded once. Every time Lido's mental power penetrates the barrier and tries to stimulate the 'tree roots', the 'tree roots' will indeed react and release a large amount of dark magic elements, but at the same time, the power of the barrier will increase instantly, cutting off Lido's mental power.
In this way, the dark magic elements released by the 'tree roots' remain inside the place where the monsters were born and cannot appear outside the barrier at all.
Perhaps the Spider Queen was able to succeed because it came from the place where monsters were born. Even though it had mutated, it still carried the same aura, so the judgment of the barrier was also different.
But this was just the icing on the cake. Success would be gratifying, but failure was no big deal. After trying a few times and guessing the possible reasons for failure, Lido gave up.
However, if you encounter a medium to large lava cave, it will often be much more troublesome and it is basically impossible to complete the task in one go.
After all, there are only eight people in the Lido Special Operations Team, and the supplies they can carry are really limited. There is no way to kill too many monsters at once, otherwise they will not be able to bring back all the materials on the monsters, which would be such a waste!
With Lido's strength, she can kill as many monsters below the high level as possible, but waste is shameful. There is no need to rush when it is not a matter of life and death.
Therefore, when encountering large or medium-sized lava caves, Lido pays special attention to letting others lure out the number of monsters. Usually when she feels that it is almost time, Lido will ask them to take back the elves, and then Lido will kill the monsters.
After bringing back a batch of materials, I continued to come over to deal with the second batch, and continued like this, one batch after another, until all the monsters in the lava cave were destroyed. The only problem is that the time span is a bit long.
In fact, the Hengduan Mountains are so large that Liduo and her team have not found another giant monster nest in the past three years, but there are still a few large monster nests with high-level monsters.
Lido and his team destroyed no less than a hundred lava caves of all sizes, and the spoils they obtained were naturally extremely amazing.
On the contrary, as the giant monster's nest fell into a long recovery period, and the lava caves destroyed by Lido and his team also fell into a recovery period one after another, the intensity, frequency and number of monster invasions on the city wall became lower and lower, and the spoils naturally became worse and worse.
The legion was gradually running out of money, which was in stark contrast to the special operations team.
However, the special operations team's killing of monsters is not a war mission, nor is it a mission issued by the legion. It is an independent action of the special operations team. In theory, the special operations team has the greatest power to dispose of the spoils and only needs to pay a 10% management fee to the legion.
However, the special operations team's sweep of the Hengduan Mountains had a real impact on the merits and spoils obtained by all other summoners in the legion. Legion Commander Feng Yang and other high-level officials could no longer sit still, so they came to negotiate with Liduo.
Liduo knew this very well and felt that it was not appropriate to continue like this, so Liduo persuaded the other members of the special operations team to agree that all the spoils, including the psychic stones and small psychic stones, would be divided 50-50 between the special operations team and the Qingyan City Legion.
Within the special operations team, Lido alone took 80% of all the spoils, and the other seven people shared the remaining 20%. Lido also had the priority right to choose the spoils.
Since most of the monsters were killed by Lido, no one else had any objection to it.
But even if the remaining 20% of the spoils were divided equally, everyone would still make a fortune.
To be honest, the priority right to choose spoils of war is not very useful, because except for psychic stones, small psychic stones, and soul crystal fragments, other materials are basically sold in exchange for gold coins or magic crystal coins.
Therefore, Lido usually picks out the soul crystal fragments for herself first, then selects the ones with higher energy values among the psychic stones and small psychic stones, and then takes the gold coin cards and magic crystal coins. After reaching 80% of the share, the rest is distributed to the other seven people.
The share that Liduo got was allocated according to Liduo's perception. From the perspective of actual value, Liduo felt that she had already got enough share, but in the eyes of others, it seemed that Liduo deliberately gave out a lot more shares.
Of course, there are actually some differences among the other seven people.
After they divide the remaining spoils equally, Li Duo will give Feng Wuya, Lei Qianjun and Yunxi each an additional portion of the spoils. After all, they will be their own people in the future, so the treatment they will enjoy will certainly be different.
