When Xu Lai returned to Qingfeng City, he didn't come back to rest.
As for the troops, this month's output is still concentrated in those big cities, but they will stay in those cities to act as defense forces.
One of his tasks is only that part of the little angel.
These, plus the little angels sent from the stronghold and dungeon, as well as the angels produced by Qingfeng City this month, can almost reach 100.
The second thing to do is to quickly visit those upgraded buildings.
The victory over Bristone and the destruction of Mendis and the abyss lords he led were all personally present and directed by Xu Lai.
But even so, his level progress bar did not change much.
You know, in these two battles, the quantity and quality of the demons killed were quite good.
In terms of quantity, it is conservatively estimated that 3.4 million demons were killed, of which real demons should account for at least half.
In terms of quality, one of the 7th-level lava trolls, evil gods, evil god kings, even great demons, abyss demons, abyss lords, and even the 9th-level Hellboy were killed.
Such quantity and quality only increased his experience bar by a mere 3%.
These are not wild monsters. They are all led by high-level heroes. One of the heroes was even killed by Xu Lai.
Looking at it this way, it is unlikely that this level will continue to increase, even if the target is changed to Kerrigan and the scale is raised to one million levels.
Since relying on experience points makes it almost impossible to upgrade, the only things Xu Lai can rely on are those outdoor buildings or books, which are experience books.
Experience books of this level will probably not be released without opening a diamond treasure chest, so it will be faster to visit the two upgrade points first.
Xu Lai has already visited his own Wisdom Tree, and what he is going to next is the Seven Dragons Shrine in the Northern Empire, which he once missed.
Tahan has already helped Xu Lai explore this place, so he is familiar with it.
Xu Lai contacted Haosen from Aiweike and successfully obtained help from him again.
Most of the nobles in the Northern Empire still have no connection with Xu Lai.
However, the momentum of the Eagle Kingdom is getting bigger and bigger, and the nobles of the Northern Empire do not want to cause any more conflicts with Xu Lai.
The Northern Empire is now also worried about the rising number of advent heroes. It was also panicked after receiving the news that Lion Heart City was breached.
Most people judge that Kerrigan will move into the Northern Empire after conquering Lionheart City.
After all, that country on the grassland has a small population and territory, and a strong military, so it is not suitable as an opponent.
Persimmons are soft to pick. Xu Lai is not only a tiger, but at least a wolf. Not only is he difficult to kill, but he also doesn’t have much oil and water.
The Northern Empire is different. The Northern Empire is at best a cow, with a pair of horns for defense, but the overall threat is not high.
The key is that there is a lot of money and water, and the people in the Northern Empire have never experienced migration or massacre.
It can be said that Xu Lai's initiative to provoke Kerrigan at this time is really in line with the wishes of the nobles of the Northern Empire.
At this time, most of them are not willing to cause any trouble to Xu Lai, and are even willing to provide some necessary help.
Through Haosen, Xu Lai successfully visited the Seven Dragons Temple at the cost of a pair of dragon scale armor.
The Seven Dragons Temple enshrines the seven dragons of the dragon clan, namely the green dragon, the golden dragon, the purple dragon, the red dragon, the black dragon, the poisonous dragon and the holy dragon.
To access this building, you need to pay eleven thousand gold coins and 11 units of crystals.
This price, for Xu Lai now, is not even as expensive as the dragon scale armor and favors he paid to build relationships.
After paying the corresponding resources and gold coins, seven rays of light fell on Xu Lai, directly raising his level by one level.
It is worth mentioning that this upgrade is not just about reaching level 45, but the experience progress bar is also copied.
In other words, this is a complete level, and part of it is not wasted just because Xu Lai has gained a lot of experience before.
After leveling up, Xu Lai's physique increased by 1 point again, bringing the total physique to an astonishing 61 points.
These 61 points of physical fitness must also receive a 5-point all-attribute bonus from the God of War statue, which means that the final total is 66 points of physical fitness.
This also makes Xu Lai's health points as high as 1720 points after equipping the sacred blood bottle, Ka's life gem and super talisman.
So far, the only person Xu Lai has seen with a higher health value than him is the abyss worm summoned by the Abyss Demon God.
After that comes the choice of specialization. Xu Lai has no chance to choose. Almost all of his specializations are ultimate.
He could only choose between earth magic and pathfinding. For the sake of combat effectiveness, especially the spell of the Gate of Time and Space, Xu Lai chose advanced earth magic.
[Advanced Earth Magic]: Enhance the effect of earth magic by 45% and reduce the mana consumption of earth magic by 45%.
Special effect 1: Increase the hero's spirit by 2 points.
Special effect 2: Land extension, which increases the range of earth spells released by the hero by 25% (only effective for range spells, single spells cannot be extended).
Xu Lai has already visited the ancient tree of wisdom, so even if there are ancient trees of wisdom in other places, it is no longer effective for Xu Lai.
The only upgrade point Xu Lai could choose was one and only one.
This place is located in a dungeon and is not 100% upgradeable. Visitors need to make their own decisions.
This location, called the Sphinx, is not strictly a wild building.
Because the Sphinx is alive, even though it cannot move.
The Sphinx is also very famous in this world. It has two functions, one is blessing and the other is punishment.
There are many kinds of blessings, including improving attributes, improving status, increasing morale, and increasing luck.
There are also ways to increase experience points, increase magic points, increase health points or increase movement speed, level up, etc.
However, corresponding to blessings is punishment. No matter what kind of blessing you choose, punishment will be corresponding.
For example, if Xu Lai chooses to raise a level, the punishment will also be to lower it by a level.
Whether it is a reward or a punishment depends on Xu Lai himself. He must answer the questions raised by the Sphinx correctly.
No one knows what kind of questions the Sphinx will ask. Everyone knows that the Sphinx has almost all the puzzles in the world.
One thing that is certain is that the questions raised by the Sphinx are based on the difficulty of blessing.
The more you want a good reward, the harder the Sphinx's problem will be, and vice versa.
The advantage of Xu Lai is that the Sphinx has existed in this world for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, the position of the Sphinx has not changed, so countless people have tried it.
As a living creature, the Sphinx is not allowed to have troops around it. If anyone wants to occupy the Sphinx alone, the Sphinx will definitely let the other party know how powerful it is.
So, although not many people can answer the Sphinx puzzle correctly, tens of thousands of Sphinx puzzles have been recorded over thousands of years.
Only the temple in the entire human camp has the ability and perseverance to record these mysteries and keep doing so for thousands of years. These secrets, the temple had already brought to Qingfeng City when Elena came back from the temple.
With Xu Lai's current intelligence, others dare not say that he can still memorize these tens of thousands of questions and answers with a good degree of accuracy.
Tahan could memorize it at that time, but there was no reason why Xu Lai couldn't memorize it.
Xu Lai rarely goes home once, and in the name of endorsement, he can spend a day with his beloved.
Elena has shown her love, and Su Ya now puts half of her focus on Elena.
Even if Elena is already an archbishop-level priest, let alone good training, she will be fine even if she participates in a battle.
Elena understands and supports Xu Lai very much, and she even plans to accompany Xu Lai to the battlefield in person.
However, Xu Lai dared not let her go, so he had to ensure her safety over and over again.
But even if Elena can understand Xu Lai, Xu Lai himself still feels quite guilty.
After finally spending a whole day with them, Xu Lai hurriedly ran underground again without even seeing Wei Yihong and the others.
Others can ignore him, but there is someone Xu Lai must meet.
“Do you feel uncomfortable being alone underground?”
Dill bowed his hands respectfully and said: "It is my duty to defend the territory for Your Majesty. There is nothing uncomfortable about it.
And I am not alone now. You also allowed me to leave from the mining town. Choosing a helper."
Xu Lai patted Dill on the shoulder and said, "Mingyue City is not that important now, and you don't need to stay here every day.
Throw it away. Give it to Bello. His eldest son is now a baron of the kingdom, and his younger son has also been sent to the Knight Academy. He has a bright future.
I don’t think he can throw away such a good life, anyway. It won’t see the light, so just stay underground.
I made him the lord of a city. Although there are not many free people, it is not a injustice to him. ”
Dil is 100% loyal and can stay underground for Xu Lai.
However, no one wants to stay underground in the dark all his life. It is natural to return to the ground again. Nothing better.
Dil cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. "
Xu Lai held his hands and said, "I need to thank you. You are the first general to follow me.
It's a pity that I really have no one available, so I can only give my most important place to the most important person. "
Dil lowered his head, and his hands held by Xu Lai were still trembling slightly.
Xu Lai sighed: "Now that life is much better, you should also show your face. Went to do something.
Su Ya has too many things to do. I want you to take over the defense and army of Qingfeng City.
You must also properly arrange the mercenaries and soldiers sent from the dungeon and stronghold.
Don't cause any trouble when recruiting soldiers in the market. They each bring many soldiers with them.
I heard that some time ago, there was a group fight, and a lot of people died. ”
Wherever there are interests, there are disputes, and everyone has their own troops. If they are a little dissatisfied, conflicts will break out, leading to conflicts. It is normal.
Su Ya is not only He is the city lord of Qingfeng City and the prime minister of the entire Eagle Kingdom. He has to control the entire kingdom.
But Qingfeng City is the foundation of Xu Lai. He cannot trust any outsider. < br>
After thinking about it, Mingyue City's importance has been greatly reduced now, and there is really no need to throw Dill Rogers there anymore.
Dil handed over his hand with excitement: "I dare not disgrace my mission."
Xu Lai smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, I have already I told Bello that you will hand over the situation in the next two days. "
To be honest, Dill, as a general, is more than capable of defending the city, but not enough to develop it. So far, he is only running what Xu Lai left. Those mines.
As for Bello, the former king of horse thieves, his management skills are not bad. Coupled with his current focus on performance, I believe he will give Xu Lai a satisfactory answer.
After dealing with the matters in Mingyue City, Xu Lai really didn't dare to delay and rushed to the Sphinx's position non-stop.
The location of the Sphinx is relatively remote, and to be honest, although he temporarily conquered the nobles in the underground city, he did not dare to pass by their territory rashly.
With a large army around him, he is naturally not afraid of anyone. Now there are only a thousand Guards Knights and a hundred Archangels, so it is better to keep a low profile.
It took more than a day for Xu Lai to see the huge Sphinx.
This was after he had cleared all the checkpoints in the underground cities along the way in his own name.
"Stop mortals, the front is a restricted area, no one is allowed to pass!"
Xu Lai stopped in front of the huge sphinx sculpture, frowning and looking at the giant sphinx. A sphinx more than ten meters high.
"I heard that as long as I can answer your questions correctly, I can get your blessing."
Hearing this, the huge lion body of the Sphinx fell to the ground.
His face made of stone also became more relaxed from the previous curse on his brows.
"That's right, as long as you answer the Sphinx's question correctly, the Sphinx will give you a blessing.
So human being, have you thought about what kind of blessing you need?"
< br>Xu Lai glanced behind the Sphinx. For some reason, he always felt that nothing could be seen clearly behind the Sphinx.
There was no cover behind the Sphinx, but Xu Lai always felt that the Sphinx was hiding something.
The chest feels slightly warm, and the badge given by the God of War is preventing unknown visits, or actually giving him a hint.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Lai said: "As long as you answer your questions correctly, you can get any blessings, right?"
The Sphinx frowned again and said: "Of course not, do you want to go to heaven?" Can I help you pick out the stars?
The blessing you want must be something I can help you with, otherwise the contract will not take effect."
Xu Lai heard. With the word "contract", he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked:
"So as long as what I want is something you are capable of completing, you have to do it, right?"
The Sphinx roared angrily and stretched out a huge claw from the lying lion's body.
The huge claws are bigger than Xu Lai and his horse combined.
However, facing this huge lion claw, Xu Lai didn't even blink his eyes. He was no longer the young boy who first entered the battlefield.
Sure enough, the claws swept in front of Xu Lai, only 3-5 centimeters away from his horse's forehead at most. (End of this chapter)
