Chapter: Chapter 428
The way she spoke, even Bai Ling almost believed it, but in reality, everyone also knew that Leticia was so timid and naive before simply because she was a bit scared.
After all, facing something unknown, it’s only natural to be afraid.
But now, Leticia has passed that hurdle, not only passed it, but also discovered that she seems to be very, very strong, and can completely jump around on this hurdle. How could she still refrain from showing off?
And this is also a rare opportunity to directly shut up our Miss Bai, no matter how you look at it, Leticia would never let go of this opportunity, right?
“But looking at you like this, forget it, I’ll let you rest for a day.” Leticia said with a condescending expression, waving her hand.
This infuriating expression made Miss Bai gnash her teeth, and she decided that tonight she must succeed in counterattacking and make tomorrow’s Leticia become today’s self!
“You wait for me, and don’t beg for mercy tonight.” Miss Bai gritted her wooden spoon, glaring fiercely at Leticia, indicating that she would remember this grudge, “Even if you beg for mercy, I will pretend I didn’t hear it.”
“You’re talking so big now, don’t end up like yesterday, pinned under me and only whimpering.” But this weak and powerless threat couldn’t make Leticia have any other thoughts. She had already proven that she could be the one on top. Since she could do it the first time, the second and third times would naturally be no problem.
Even if she was occasionally counterattacked, she could just pretend she was letting them win on purpose. See, Leticia has even paved her own way out, this is called a perfect plan with no flaws!
“Cough, cough, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Clearing her throat, Leticia pulled the topic back from the embarrassing realm to the serious one, “Linglong should be starting the fight by now, right?”
Yesterday Linglong went back early to prepare for the decisive battle. This girl is very sharp-minded and can handle situations where enemies directly attack with ease.
All she needs to do is set up a few ambushes, and when both armies are locked in fierce battle, charge out from the flanks, and that will basically secure victory. For the sake of safety, Linglong even decided to send out a portion of her troops to raid the enemy’s main camp.
How to describe this battle plan? It’s very simple, but it’s extremely effective against the Orcs.
“Speaking of which, the technology mastered by the Dragon Orcs is indeed quite strong. Such a small amulet can release an attack with the power of a fireball spell.” Speaking of the fireball mages of the Bone Wing tribe, Leticia couldn’t help but sigh a little. In a place where productivity is extremely underdeveloped and people basically fight with cold weapons, dozens of fireballs could absolutely deal a severe blow to the morale of an army.
Although those fireball amulets were all personally crafted by Linglong, and the power sealed within was only enough for one fireball spell, these things allowed the Orcs, who could only fight in close combat, to gain the ability of ranged attack.
While others were still shooting arrows, their side was directly throwing fireballs. The gap was obvious at a glance.
“Didn’t Linglong give you an amulet? You should know what the principle behind this amulet is, right?” Bai Ling placed the cleaned bowl back on the table, using her tongue to clean up the food residue around her mouth.
Upon hearing this question, Leticia immediately rolled her eyes. Did this guy still have the nerve to ask this question?
Bai Ling had been pestering her outside the whole day yesterday. Under such crazy seduction, how could Leticia have the leisure to study the amulet left by Linglong?
As for after going home… Huh? Don’t you really know what the two of them were doing last night?
After the preparations were completed, they went straight to bed, alright? When would they have time to study that amulet?
“Do you think I had the opportunity to do research in the time from yesterday until now?”
“That seems to be the case.” Miss Bai pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. From yesterday until now, Leticia really didn’t seem to have time for proper business.
Oh, some things should also be considered proper business, so it should be said that she didn’t have time for research.
“But since you brought it up, I’ll take a look at the principle of this thing now.” Leticia rummaged through her divine artifact space and took out the amulet left by Linglong.
This was an amulet made of animal bones. The front of the amulet was painted with a somewhat abstract dragon, and on the back of the amulet, there were several small runes glowing with a faint red light.
The pattern on this side should be nothing worth noting. Although it was a hand-drawn by Linglong, the painting was really not good. This beautiful little dragon girl seemed to have no talent in art.
Even what Leticia drew was better than Linglong’s, although Leticia had to cheat. In terms of actual strength, the two were probably evenly matched.
The key to this amulet allowing ordinary Orcs to throw fireballs lay in the runes on the back. Leticia could clearly feel the energy fluctuations emanating from these runes.
What was condensed here was not magic or the peculiar powers of the Orcs, but a kind of energy that Leticia was both familiar and unfamiliar with.
After recalling for a long time and thinking about Linglong’s race, Leticia made a bold guess. What was here was perhaps the peculiar energy of dragons. Linglong had sealed the power of dragons in these small runes, allowing her subordinate Orcs to gain the ability to cast fireball spells.
However, the power here was very weak. The dragon breath of a proper dragon has a kill power that is absolutely comparable to a forbidden spell, while the fireball here is really just a small fireball.
“It’s similar to demon race magic scrolls, but the materials used are a bit crude. Fireball spells are probably the limit that these materials can withstand.” Leticia looked at the amulet back and forth several times, and finally gave her answer.
Magic scrolls are not uncommon things for the demon race. Magic scrolls of intermediate spells are even hot commodities in the demon race market.
As for spells like fireball, they don’t even qualify to be made into scrolls. The materials for making scrolls are so expensive. Sealing a fireball spell would be too much of a loss.
The amulets made by Linglong and magic scrolls are similar in spirit, but the price of materials is worlds apart. But it’s normal to think about it. In this cursed place, one can’t find the precious materials of the demon race.
Linglong is already very capable to be able to create these things.
“If these things can be mass-produced, I really think Linglong can change the world for the Orcs.” Looking at the amulet in her hand, Leticia’s eyes flashed again and again.
Admittedly, such small trinkets are not advanced creations that amaze her, and their effectiveness on more advanced battlefields is debatable, but these amulets represent the emergence of a new path. The Orcs may embark on a brand new path from now on.
“These runes are very interesting. They can seal such powerful energy on such fragile materials. This is much stronger than our demon race’s scroll makers.” Leticia held the amulet, resting her chin on her hand and muttering softly.
If those guys were here, they definitely couldn’t create Linglong’s amulets. Those guys are used to high-grade materials. If they were given such bone fragments, forget it.
Moreover, the magic power of the demon race and the power sealed on the bone fragments by Linglong are also different. Perhaps magic power itself is more volatile and requires more advanced materials as a carrier.
“If I have the chance, I’ll ask her about the principle of these things. If these things have a more advanced version, then I think Linglong’s future is truly limitless.” Leticia’s eyes flickered, and her expression became a little frightening, “The requirement is not too high, as long as it can create a dragon breath talisman.”
This requirement is not too high? Even Miss Bai, who doesn’t know much about these things, widened her eyes, “Are you serious?”
“Do you think I’m serious or joking?” Leticia tilted her head and asked.
“Of course you’re joking. Didn’t you say that dragon breath is the ultimate killing move of dragons, and a single dragon breath is enough to rival the top-tier forbidden spells?”
Miss Demon King nodded, she had indeed said that, “However, dragon breath also has its strengths and weaknesses. The breath of a strong dragon is definitely stronger than that of a weak dragon. As long as Linglong’s amulet can touch the line of a weaker dragon breath, that’s enough.”
Even if it takes Linglong one or two months, or even half a year, to manufacture one such amulet, it is still an invaluable trump card for the Bone Wing tribe at present.
The brilliance of these things lies in their storability, and there are no conditions required to use them. Their power depends only on the power of the spell contained within and has nothing to do with the user.
Just imagine, in the future, when Linglong’s army and the Lionhead army draw their lines and start facing each other, as soon as they make contact, Linglong’s army suddenly unleashes ten or so dragon breaths. What else is there to fight for? It would be lucky if the other side isn’t scorched clean.
“The talent of dragons is indeed excellent. Sometimes I even envy these big guys.” Speaking of this, Leticia became a little unhappy. Why do those big guys just need to eat and sleep to increase their strength every day?
This is too unfair. Leticia is also of pure royal blood among the demon race, and her strength has been honed bit by bit through gritted teeth, while the strength growth of beasts like dragons is as easy as eating and drinking.
Leticia even suspects that this world discriminates against sentient races. Why do those brainless guys grow stronger so easily, while intelligent creatures like them have to work so hard?
“Dragons are okay, at least their growth period is long, and it takes decades to become an adult. But wild beasts are really not to be trifled with.” Speaking of dragons, another group of beasts of similar size was naturally criticized by Leticia, “These things have no growth period at all. One is killed in the front, and a new one appears in that place in the back.”
Countless demon scholars have gone from having black hair to no hair while trying to figure out the secret of wild beasts, but they still can’t figure it out. These things completely defy the rules of the world, as if they were outsiders.
“But their upper limit is very low, isn’t it?” Bai Ling felt that this was a matter of give and take. Although sentient beings like them couldn’t increase their strength so easily, in terms of their upper limit, didn’t it still depend on them?
Not to mention exceptional combatants like Leticia and Bai Ling, even pillars of strength like the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race and Little Green can kill dragons and wild beasts individually without much difficulty.
Even S-class super-powered individuals who are a level weaker, when formed into a small team, can defeat stronger dragons or wild beasts through cooperation. In fact, most wild beasts are killed by such hunting teams.
High-level combatants like Little Green need to guard the central city and cannot move recklessly. The ones who can go out and solve the beast problems are elite teams composed of several S-class heroes.
“It’s not impossible to have both a high lower limit and a high upper limit. Can’t we have both a high lower limit and a high upper limit?” Leticia continued to roll her eyes. Why must it be a choice between the two? As reliable adults, they should choose “I want it all,” right?
“Such perfect lives shouldn’t exist, should they?”
“Actually, they should exist, but you just can’t see them anymore.” Leticia raised her right hand and pulled her sleeve down a little, revealing a thin golden chain on her wrist, “Gods perfectly fit the characteristics of having both a high lower limit and a high upper limit.”
Although she didn’t know if gods were considered to be of the same race, it didn’t stop Leticia from discussing them together. These beautiful girls were all powerful, and it was said that they could stir up storms when they were just born.
A newly born god could easily crush a super beast as big as a mountain, as Miss Yin told Leticia during casual conversation. At that time, the difference between the giant beasts and the current wild beasts was comparable to the difference between a big tiger and a big wild boar, one in the sky and one on the ground.
And the lower limit of a god is considered a big tiger. Listen to this, this is called a true favorite of heaven and earth!
“But they’ve all disappeared. Besides, do you know how many gods there are in total?”
“No one seems to know the answer to this question. Yin said that the world back then was completely different from now. She didn’t know many gods, less than ten. According to her estimation, there should be hundreds of gods in the world.” Leticia spread her hands, the number of gods is really a tricky question, and it stumped her completely. “Moreover, gods don’t seem to have any need for reproduction, so no one knows if the offspring of two gods would be a new god.”
This matter is quite strange. The Age of Gods lasted for such a long time, has no god ever thought about offspring?
Oh, speaking of which, she seems to be a descendant of Infino, but this kind of descendant is not very rigorous. It can only be considered a descendant with a little bit of divine factor.
