A glorious victory! Your hero gained 3600 experience points! Your hero leveled up to Level 2! Your hero leveled up to Level 3!
This battle allowed Solmyr to directly level up two times, reaching Level 3. Rhodes allocated one attribute point to Strength and one to Intelligence.
Now Solmyr's magic power would be even stronger, especially the Chain Lightning spell.
After leveling up twice, Solmyr's skills also received an update. Solmyr's inherent skills were Basic Wisdom Spell and Basic Magic Power. This time, Intermediate Wisdom Spell and Basic Air Magic appeared.
After some thought, Rhodes chose to upgrade Air Magic. After all, he was playing with Chain Lightning, and having Air Magic would be better.
The second upgrade option was to advance Magic Power to Intermediate, or learn Basic Diplomacy.
Basic Diplomacy! If this were in a game, Rhodes would have chosen it instantly without a second thought. It's a truly god-tier skill, without controversy, the kind that is undisputed.
But in reality, would you use this Diplomacy skill to engage in diplomacy with people and convince so-and-so to join your army? That's simply impossible, isn't it?
The native creatures of Azeroth World have self-awareness, so Diplomacy would obviously not be of much use. What a pity, this god-tier skill from the game is completely useless here.
Rhodes sighed helplessly and chose to upgrade Solmyr's skill to Intermediate Magic Power, increasing magic damage by 10%. Now, the damage of Solmyr's Chain Lightning could reach around 200 in the first round.
Although over a hundred griffins were killed, unfortunately, not a single Skeleton Soldier was summoned, because Solmyr did not have the Necromancy skill.
However, if Straker had been sent to fight instead of Solmyr, although they would still win, the loss of Skeleton Soldiers would probably be greater. Solmyr's magic was quite powerful, with the release of Thunderbolt Lightning and Death Wave!
Magic killed a large number of griffins, otherwise, 100 griffins could theoretically easily crush 600
Skeleton Soldiers!
Of course, that's assuming the computer AI can maneuver. If they can't maneuver, they still can't win. If they can maneuver, they can achieve a no-damage victory.
You captured the Griffin Roost, and rescued two imprisoned angels within. The two angels pledged allegiance to you out of gratitude for your rescue!
Two angels, about 3 meters tall, with long black hair, handsome faces, a golden halo above their heads, a pair of pure white wings on their backs, bare feet, and holding a one-handed sword, appeared before Rhodes.
Angels are very sacred creatures. They fly in the sky, and it is said that when an Archangel appears, the entire army will be encouraged, boosting morale.
Although they are just small angels, if he can find a high mountain fortress or a castle main city in the future, he can upgrade them to Archangel Leg Hair Brothers.
The two angels stood in the room, knelt on one knee before Rhodes, and pledged allegiance. Unlike hero units, no matter how high-level a troop type is, as long as it comes from the system, it doesn't possess true intelligence.
They don't even need to eat or rest.
Looking at the two angels in front of him, Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction. Trading 280 Skeleton Soldiers for two angels was quite a bargain. These two angels could play a huge role.
Originally, Rhodes intended to immediately summon 5 Holy Light Elementals to experiment, but after some thought, he gave up. He had already gone through a fierce battle today, and Rhodes was a bit tired.
The experiment of angels absorbing Holy Light could be done tomorrow, and it would also provide a good excuse to decline Jaina's invitation for a date.
After observing the angels, Rhodes put them back into the system space and then lay down to rest for the night, with nothing else to report.
Early the next morning, as Rhodes was sleeping soundly, a sudden urgent knocking at the door woke him up.
"Rhodes, wake up quickly! First, we'll go have breakfast, and then you'll come out with me to stroll around. I've already planned today's itinerary.
You have to come with me to the jewelry store, and the magic clothing store, the flower shop, and finally we'll go see an opera," Jaina said.
"Cough, cough! Jaina! I'm afraid I have to apologize for today's date, because I suddenly have something very important to attend to," Rhodes said, rubbing his eyes and sitting up.
Jaina outside was silent for a moment, then angrily pounded on the door a few times.
"You scoundrel, you're trying to stand me up, aren't you?"
"No! No! Anyway, come in first, and I'll explain." Rhodes reluctantly got up, quickly washed his face, then put on his clothes and opened the door. Jaina was already fully dressed and glaring at Rhodes angrily.
"Let me hear your explanation. What reason do you have, uh, what, what is this? Is, is it an angel?" At this moment, two beings stood in Rhodes' room, three meters tall, wearing white robes, holding swords, with human-like appearances but clearly not human!
These two beings had golden halos above their heads, which astonished Jaina. This, this looks so much like the angels described in the legends of the Holy Light faith!
But how is this possible? Angels are depicted as winged beings who wield Holy Light and are divine messengers who help humans.
Humans have used Holy Light for thousands of years, even before Paladins were born!
A group of ancient humans perceived the Holy Light, felt this sacred and warm power, and thus the profession of Priest was born, and Holy Light also became the main faith of humanity!
In the faith of the Holy Light, 'angel' is a very sacred word, representing salvation, representing a messenger of God.
But the most primitive angel worship actually originated from humanity's matriarchal Vrykul. The legendary Valkyr are the origin of angels.
According to research by Dalaran, and the documented records of the High Elves and their own records in Kul Tiras, many mages believe that the most primitive angel worship actually came from the Vrykul's Valkyr.
It is said that their entire bodies glowed with golden light, which humans believed to be Holy Light. They would guide the souls of brave warriors into a mysterious realm.
The Vrykul called it the Halls of Valor, the dwelling place of the great Titan Keeper Odyn.
So the legend of angels actually has some elements of borrowing and fabrication, but such creatures simply do not exist in Azeroth.
But why would two winged angels suddenly appear in Rhodes' room? They are almost identical to the angels fabricated in the Holy Light scriptures that believers worship!
"As you can see, Jaina, that great being sent two angels to me. I was also startled when they first arrived this morning," Rhodes said.
Rhodes did not intend to hide this troop type, the angels. They were excellent for gaining reputation.
"No, no, Rhodes, how is this possible? Angels, angels don't exist. They are, Valkyr are, wait, that's not right?
As far as I know, Valkyr should all be female; there are no male Valkyr," Jaina said, looking puzzled.
Rhodes shrugged at her words and said nothing.
However, thinking about it carefully, this also makes sense. Valkyr are transformed female Vrykul. If women can be transformed, there's no reason why men can't!
The appearance of male angels also seems quite normal, but these two angels are still somewhat different from the Valkyr described in records, who wear magnificent armor and golden helmets.
Why! Why do they resemble the angels fabricated in the Holy Light scriptures so much?
"These were also sent by the Guardian to protect me, and the great Holy Light will baptize these sacred beings, allowing them to master Holy Light.
So I need a very safe magic laboratory, and then summon Holy Light Elementals to carry out this matter!
Our date will probably have to be postponed. How about you join me in the experiment, and we can consider it a date?" Rhodes said.
This was the excuse Rhodes had come up with. Last night, after summoning the two angels, he had them stay in the room and had already prepared his explanation for the next day.
Completely transforming the two angels into Holy Light creatures would certainly not happen in a day or two. Rhodes estimated that he would have to stay in the laboratory for a long time to come.
Jaina narrowed her eyes, looking at Rhodes helplessly.
Damn it! If Kael'thas had received her invitation, he would have agreed without hesitation. Why are you so hesitant?
"Since it's the Guardian's will, I won't say much more.
However, Rhodes, now that these two Angel Valkyr have appeared, I can confirm who the Guardian behind you is. It's the legendary Chief Guardian Odyn, isn't it?" Jaina said confidently.
Among the Guardians, only the legendary Odyn has the authority to command Valkyr!
Although the Broken Isles are secretive, Kul Tiras, as a great maritime nation, still knows about them. However, under normal circumstances, the Kul Tiras fleet would not approach the Broken Isles region.
"Odyn! Valkyr?" Rhodes said, surprised.
The appearance of the angels caused some misunderstanding for Jaina, but the fact that she knew about the existence of Guardian Odyn at this point truly showed her capabilities. Dalaran recorded many things.
"Hmph! Rhodes, don't take me for an ignorant rich girl. My knowledge is very extensive.
I know these are not the angels recorded in the sacred texts. Their true identity is Valkyr, special beings transformed from our human ancestors, the Vrykul," Jaina said.
Rhodes smiled at her words and said nothing. If you misunderstand them as Valkyr, then so be it.
However, Valkyr were created by Odyn sacrificing an eye to peek at the path of ascension in Bastion from the otherworld, and are different from his angels.
"So, Jaina, do you want to join me in witnessing the Holy Light baptize these sacred beings?"
"Mm! I also really want to see how the Holy Light Elementals will enable these male Valkyr to gain the power of the Holy Light.
"Jaina said.
Although the date was ruined, she would get to see something even more extraordinary.
So the Guardian behind Rhodes was Odyn!
