Oscar's house.
As soon as the Warlock Alliance envoy left, the hall was filled with gifts.
Alice used a clean white handkerchief to wipe the trophy attentively.
The Silver Eagle Trophy is 21 cm high, with a base made of high-purity fire copper, on which are engraved small words: information including the presenter, the winner, and the date.
A silver eagle made of mithril stands on it, posing a flying posture, lifelike and very beautiful.
After wiping it over and over again, the trophy is shining!
Alice put the Silver Eagle Trophy into the cupboard and placed it next to the Rookie King Trophy. This is Oscar's second trophy. Although Oscar doesn't care at all, Alice is happy for him.
Because the trophy represents the honor of a warlock.
Qin Yue walked in with a heavy box: "The advance payment has arrived, come and take a look, it will open your eyes."
Alice hurried to see it.
Qin Yue opened it and found a box full of golden coins. Pure gold is an energy metal that emits a faint light. The two beautiful faces were directly reflected in a layer of gold.
Alice was stunned. She reached into the box with both hands. A large number of gold coins were warm and smooth, slipping through her white and tender fingers, bursting out with a crisp and pleasant sound.
It was as beautiful as fairy music!
Gold coins!
A box full of gold coins!
Alice lived a very frugal life. She wanted to split a copper coin into two. A box full of gold coins was placed in front of her, blooming with a dreamy and beautiful light, which deeply shocked her inner demons.
"How much money is this?"
"1,200 gold coins!"
Alice's eyes lit up with countless little stars, "We can't spend it all in ten lifetimes!"
Qin Yue saw Alice's intoxicated happiness and couldn't help saying, "Little money-grubber, since you like money so much, you will be in charge of the studio's finances in the future!"
Mu Alice was a little embarrassed: "Is this appropriate?"
Qin Yue nodded and said, "You are very talented in calculations. Every time you encounter a complex formula, you can always solve it at once. Just based on this point, you are suitable for managing finances."
There are only three people in Yunyue Studio. Oscar is a demon soul figure, Qin Yue is the person in charge, and also a secretary or assistant. Only Alice has no job.
In the future, the studio will grow bigger and bigger, and there will definitely be a lot of liquid funds. Alice is a trustworthy person, and it is naturally the most suitable to have her as the financial director.
Alice Mu wanted to tell Oscar the news as soon as possible: "Why hasn't the young master come back yet? Is he doing experiments again?"
Qin Yue's beautiful eyes showed a look of longing, "Oscar is studying the magic of the dead. I don't know how the progress is." At this point, she suddenly stood up, "I have to tell him the good news!"
Probably finding a reason for herself to enter the laboratory, Qin Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately threw down the gold coins and ran into a basement excitedly.
The air was filled with the smell of potions.
On the large and small magic circles, there were residual spell fluctuations.
Oscar looked tired.
Qin Yue was sweating profusely while running, and her plump breasts were violently ups and downs, and the mercenaries next to her saw this, and they all swallowed their saliva secretly, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Oscar really knows how to choose a secretary!
"Why are you here?"
Qin Yue told Oscar about the advance payment, and then asked casually: "How is the Necromancer spell going?"
"The last round of spells has been processed." Oscar wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The only step left is to ignite the soul fire."
Qin Yue didn't know what the soul fire was, but just said: "Then light it quickly!"
Oscar shook his head and sighed: "There is no way, the materials haven't arrived!"
There is no news about the demon crystal
The purchase of beast crystals is not going well.
I don't know when the soul fire can be ignited!
Qin Yue said very disappointedly: "The demon crystal may be difficult to find, and the level 3 beast crystal is not easy. When the city lord eliminated the scorpion tail beasts that occupied the important roads a while ago, he killed many level 3 scorpion tail beasts and only got two level 3 beast crystals.
It has been collected in the city lord's mansion, and it is impossible to buy it. If we have the ability to kill level 3 monsters in the wild like the city lord, then level 3 beast crystals should be no problem!"
Oscar's eyes lit up.
Qin Yue inspired her.
Since you can't buy it, why not go find it yourself?
With a high-quality mercenary resource in hand, it is not impossible to do it!
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Come here." Oscar called a mercenary guarding the gate to him and asked, "Are there any level 3 monsters nearby?"
"Level 3 monsters are very rare. Even if they are found, no one dares to move. Places where level 3 monsters are active have now become restricted areas."
The mercenary was stunned for a moment before saying, "The group usually only hunts level 1 monsters, and occasionally organizes a group to venture and hunt level 2 monsters. I have been a mercenary in the town for 5 years, and I have never seen anyone dare to hunt level 3 monsters."
"Give me the information about monsters in the group."
The mercenary took out a huge map and a thick handwritten book, "The information is all here."
This map is made of animal skin, 3 meters long and wide, huge in size, and the terrain markings on the map are very clear, with circles and symbols of different colors, dividing hundreds of miles into dozens of small areas.
Mercenaries often accept commissions, usually escort and hunting missions.
A good map is particularly important for mercenary groups.
"Let me see" Qin Yue came over.
Oscar smelled a faint fragrance, and looked sideways. Qin Yue's beautiful figure was clearly visible, which made him a little uncontrollable. This body is too young!
"There are four areas in total. The green circle represents the safe area, the yellow circle represents the dangerous area, the red circle represents the high-risk area, and the black circle represents the unknown area."
Oscar opened the old manual.
Each area has a related code name, and the detailed information will be recorded in the manual, with very detailed descriptions, such as the situation of the monsters, the terrain environment, the distribution of herbs, and whether there are minerals...
"Is there an iron-armed demon ape in this place?"
Oscar found a level 3 monster record in the data book.
The mercenary explained: "There is a group of iron-armed apes living near a cliff not far to the northwest. The leader is an iron-armed ape demon. At that time, a caravan passed by and was hit by the iron-armed ape demon. The whole team of hundreds of people were torn into pieces.
This place is not far from Baisong Town, but no one dares to provoke them anymore. The area has been designated as a high-risk restricted area. For many years, entry is strictly prohibited unless it is an important mission."
The iron-armed ape is a gold-type magic beast, which is level 2. There is a certain probability that a mutant will appear in the population of iron-armed apes, reaching the level of level 3 magic beasts. At the same time, it will become the leader of the iron-armed ape group and be called the iron-armed demon ape.
This kind of magic beast can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. It is very powerful!
Oscar closed the manual and made a decision: "Start organizing brothers. We have to kill this demon ape!"
The mercenary said in horror: "The iron-armed demon ape is a level 3 magic beast!"
What is the concept of a level 3 magic beast?
This is equivalent to a great martial artist or a great magician. In fact, the magic beast is extremely powerful, and humans of the same level generally cannot beat the magic beast.
Among the mercenaries in Baisong Town, the strongest is only the martial artist level One-Eye, whose combat power is not higher than that of a level 2 magic beast. When One-Eye is there, they dare not provoke the One-Eye Demon Ape.
Oscar said that he wanted to enter the high-risk restricted area, catch the Iron Arm Ape Demon and kill it!
There are about 15-20 ordinary Iron Arm Apes there!
The Iron Arm Ape is at the level of a level 2 magic beast, and one is equivalent to a One-Eye!
A dozen or twenty One-Eyes, what a strong combat force!
Can such a thing be provoked casually?
It's simply courting death!
Qin Yue has a blind trust in Oscar. She has a feeling that as long as Oscar dares to say it, he can probably do it.
It's just that the level 3 magic beast is too powerful.
Is there really a way to solve it?
"These beasts are really powerful, but remember, we are intelligent creatures. The biggest difference between us and Warcraft is not our physique and strength, but this..."
Oscar pointed to his head.
Mercenaries never lack courage, and swallowed his saliva: "What should we do? How many people do we need?"
The territory occupied by the Iron Arm Demon Ape is very close to Baisong Town. At the same time, the area is rich in herbs and minerals. If the Iron Arm Demon Ape, which has been causing harm for a long time, can be eliminated, the prestige of the mercenary group in the local area will not only be greatly increased, but also a lot of benefits will be obtained.
"Qin Yue, you go to the town to hold a press conference, announce the action, and recruit some warlocks with a lot of money."
"Okay!"
This is a major public action. The mercenary group will first hold a press conference to announce and explain the intention of the activity, which can not only expand its influence, but also win support from many parties.
"The Iron Arm Demon Ape's skin and flesh are strong, and your true Qi cannot cut it. At the same time, it is also highly resistant to spells, so you need to use a heavy crossbow or explosives."
Heavy crossbows and explosives are not difficult to obtain.
Although the mercenaries do not have them, the army does. With Oscar's reputation in Baisong Town, he can borrow them if he asks.
The mercenary was a little worried and said, "It's not that easy. First of all, the heavy crossbow is not suitable for use in the forest. It is very heavy and has poor mobility. Explosives also explode at a fixed point. It is difficult for these two weapons to hit the Iron Arm Demon Ape. They are too magical!"
"Simple, let the Iron Arm Demon Ape enter the designated attack range, right?"
The mercenary thought that when Oscar dealt with zombies, he just let the zombies enter the designated position. He might be able to do it, but he couldn't help but remind him, "The Iron Arm Ape is not a zombie. Such a beast is not stupid. It is impossible for it not to fight back when it is beaten. If the situation is not good, it will definitely run away."
Oscar smiled confidently and turned to the mercenary and said, "I will prepare two magic arrays. The combination is practical and foolproof."
Now we need to build two magic arrays, the first is the lure array, and the other is the illusion array.
The concept of the lure array was not proposed until a thousand years later. About 1,500 years later, a mercenary warlock perfected the first lure array and it was widely used.
Qin Yue asked curiously: "The principle of this magic array that attracts monsters must be different from that of the dead monsters!"
"The luring array is generally a magic method that simulates biological pheromones, mainly sex hormones, which are suitable for use during the estrus period of monsters. When the magic array spreads the relevant pheromones, the monsters will be attracted from afar."
"I see!"
"In fact, in addition to pheromones, simulating the calls of companions, or the smell of favorite food or prey is also an effective way to attract."
Qin Yue asked again: "Then what method are you going to use to lure the iron-armed ape? Make pheromones?"
"Pheromones are not that easy to make. First, relevant substances must be extracted from the iron-armed ape before they can be refined. Besides, it is not the estrus period now, and the iron-armed apes generally only mate within the group."
"What should we do then?"
"As far as I know, there is only one iron-armed demon ape in each group. If another new iron-armed ape evolves, a bloody battle will inevitably occur between the two iron-armed demon apes, and the final winner will become the new leader."
Qin Yue is a smart person and immediately understood Oscar's plan.
Just simulate the breath and cry of the Iron Arm Demon Ape, and the Iron Arm Demon Ape in the mountain will react immediately, taking it as a provocation or challenge, and lead all the Iron Arm Apes to fight.
This will be much easier than synthesizing complex biological pheromones.
And it is highly directional, so there is no need to worry about the mess of monsters being lured out.
When the Iron Arm Ape falls into the trap, Oscar will activate the prepared [Small Maze Formation], which is a simple low-level mental formation that only works on ordinary people. People who are slightly stronger or determined are almost unaffected.
Every creature has weaknesses.
The Iron Arm Ape has impervious flesh and blood, and is also resistant to spells, but its mental strength is weak, which is a weakness that can be exploited. As a level 3 monster, the Iron Arm Demon Ape can be interfered with by a level 1 mental spell.
Oscar grasped the characteristics of the monster, lured it into a trap, made it lost with an illusion array, and then killed it with a heavy crossbow and explosives.
This is his hunting plan!
As for whether he can get the beast crystal, use the beast crystal to ignite the soul fire, and awaken the powerful high-level corpse wizard, it depends on luck!
