"Valkyrie?" Brando's heart skipped a beat. The maid of Odin in Norse mythology, how could he not have heard of this name? He had long suspected that since there was Valhalla, there would naturally be Valkyries. It was a pity that Valhalla in The Amber Sword was destroyed in a fire, and the legends about it were buried under the ashes. Whether or not they existed, everything was a mystery.
A mystery. Now that Babuu mentioned this name, Brando had a feeling that it was indeed the case. At the same time, he was somewhat expectant. "Master Babuu, do you mean that Valhalla's Warrior Hall can recruit Valkyries?"
How strong were the Valkyries in the legends? They were the chosen ones of the Heroic Spirits, riding on pegasus and patrolling the sky. They were legendary existences in myths. This kind of troop shouldn't be below grade 6, right? But Brando immediately shook his head and rejected his own idea. Valhalla was still a low-level territory, even if it was the most legendary kind, it was still too ridiculous to be able to recruit a grade 6 troop.
In fact, the Wind Archers, as the first type of unit produced by Valhalla, had the strength of a Quasi Grade 4, which was already extraordinary. If it exceeded Grade 6, it would seriously break the balance in The Amber Sword. This world should still follow the rules of the game.
Then grade 5? Although this level was a little too low for the Valkyries, Brando felt that this should be the most likely scenario. Legends were legends after all, not to mention that there were a few more abnormal troop types among grade 5 that were still very powerful, comparable to grade 6 troops. For example, Cruz's Holy Grail Knight. When the Holy Grail Knight joined, they swore an oath and a holy relic.
They swore oaths of poverty, not marriage, and upholding justice. Although the Knight's life was very poor, they gained great power from it. On the battlefield, they could rely on the power of the holy relic to revive Brother Spring on the spot once. This was the most powerful troop among the known grade 5 troops.
Brando thought that the Valkyries might also be a grade 5 troop like this. It wouldn't disrupt the balance too much, and it would also show the strength of this troop type. But all of this was just speculation in his heart. The answer would still have to wait for the Cloud Giant's Divine Craftsman Babuu to reveal it, so he raised his head and looked at Babuu.
The hall was quiet. Babuu turned his head and called out, "Brunhilda, come out."
"Damn!" Brando was shocked when he heard this name. Brunhilda was a famous Valkyrie in Norse mythology and Icelandic epics. There were all kinds of legends about her. Some said that she was Odin's daughter, while others said that her image came from the Visigoth princess Brunhilda of Ostracia. In many games and related works in his world, she was described as the head of the Valkyries. He naturally heard of this famous name, but he didn't expect Babuu to call out such a powerful character. He couldn't help but curiously look in that direction. At this moment, the sound of a horse's neigh came from outside the hall. A pegasus flapped its wings and flew in through the arched window of the hall, landing on the edge of the platform. The pegasus paced restlessly. Its back was covered in platinum armor. Its wings, mane, and hooves were burning with white flames, as if it had just flown out of flames. There was also a female Knight riding on its back. The female Knight wore a winged helmet that covered her face, but her identity could be vaguely discerned from her posture that she was a woman.
This female knight was just like the warhorse she was riding. Her entire body was covered in flames. White flames constantly emerged from the gaps in her heavy armor. After she landed on the platform, she did not dismount from her horse. Instead, she held her head high and pulled the reins made of flames to Brendel's side. She did not say a word as she looked down at her lord from a commanding position.
"This is the Valkyrie?" When Brando first saw Brunhilda, he almost thought that he was looking at Madara's Pale Knight. However, the Pale Knight obviously didn't have such luxurious armor, and their horses didn't have wings. When Brunhilda came to his side, he saw that her weapon was a double-headed sword with a very long handle. The blade was very slender, like two wings.
A pair of platinum wings, together with her armor and pegasus, couldn't be more gorgeous. Just as he was about to ask about the other party's combat power, he remembered that he could search for the attributes of the creatures in Valhalla, just like Monica and the others back then. He quickly blinked his eyes and switched to a light green interface. This interface seemed to be floating on a piece of cloth.
Brendel could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw Brunhilda's face.
Level 60 Valkyrie (Leader)
Strength: 1033, Constitution: 732, Agility: 740, Bloodline: 180, Will: 100, Intelligence: 1.5, Perception: 155
Skills: Magic Resistance, Heroic Spirit Revival, Final Battle
Fighting Strength Value: Level VIII
"Level 8 troop class!" Brando almost blacked out and fell to the ground. The so-called fighting strength value was actually the rating of the troop class. He originally thought that the Valkyrie would at most be a level 6 troop class. According to The Amber Sword's usual style, even a level 5 troop class wasn't impossible. At most, it would be amazing to give a more powerful and practical skill. But the problem was the cloth.
Although he had never heard of the Final Battle before, the Heroic Spirit Resurrection skill was exactly the same as the Holy Grail Knight's Faith in Brother Spring. Furthermore, the Heroic Spirit Resurrection skill was also a magic resistance skill. There were three types of magic resistance skills in The Amber Sword: Magic Defense, Magic Resistance, and Magic Immunity. Magic Immunity was the most abnormal, completely ignoring everything.
The effects of magic were the nemesis of wizards. Magic Resistance resisted 75% of the magic damage and the effect duration. Magic Defense was the worst, only resisting 50% of the magic damage. Magic Resistance itself was a relatively powerful skill. Similar skills were only available to Unicorns, Dwarven Rune Guards, and Farnezain's Spell Guards, and according to the rules of The Amber Sword, there were
According to the rules of The Amber Sword, troops with such powerful skills would generally have their basic attributes greatly reduced. For example, the HP of the Unicorn was generally lower than the other level 6 troops, and the attack of the Spell Guard was also the lowest among the level 7 troops.
This was because although the basic attributes of different classes were different when leveling up, they were generally balanced. Those with powerful skills often had weaker basic attributes. For example, Brando's Holy Grail Knight belonged to this class, and mercenaries belonged to the basic class with stronger basic attributes. So in theory, the Valkyrie had so many powerful skills.
Her basic attributes should be relatively weak among the level 8 troops, but what Brando saw was that not only were Brunhilda's attributes not weak, but they were actually stronger than other level 8 troops. Her attributes were already at the highest stage of Elemental Activation, just a step away from Elemental Enlightenment. Not to mention that her physique was slightly lower than his now, her strength was a street ahead of him, and her dexterity was on par with his.
Her average attributes were also terrifyingly high, but in terms of basic attributes and strength, Brunhilda was a level higher than him.
In other words, other than the unreliable foreign aid of Mephisto and Aloz, Brunhilda was now the second most stable combat force in Valhalla.
And the average level 8 troop was just at the beginning of Elemental Activation.
"Isn't this cheating!?" Brando immediately felt that he had encountered the legendary backdoor left by the game designer in the game. A level 2 magic territory could actually recruit level 8 troops, and these so-called level 8 troops' combat power was basically comparable to level 9 troops. If this wasn't a backdoor, then what was? To be honest, Brando certainly liked it when it fell from the sky.
But the problem was that he never believed that there was a free lunch in the world. Here, he drew a big pie for him, and he didn't know what kind of trap was behind it, especially when the more fragrant the bait, the sharper the trap behind it. He had encountered this kind of thing too many times in the game, so everything in front of him didn't make him feel the slightest bit excited. Instead, it created a strong sense of vigilance.
He calmed down and said, "This strength doesn't seem to be a level 8 troop, right?"
"Eh?" Babu looked at her lord with some curiosity, "My lord can actually see Brunhilda's strength at a glance?"
"Ahem —" Brando realized that he had let it slip in a moment of absent-mindedness. Although Valhalla was connected to his own system, Monique and the others didn't seem to know about his own system. Since Monique, who was in charge of Valhalla, didn't know, Babu had no reason to know. Brando thought about this and hurriedly explained.
"I can roughly sense it, this seems to be an ability that Valhalla gave me."
Babu shook her head and didn't doubt it, "I see, but my lord misunderstood one thing. Brunhilda is not a level 8 troop, but a level 9 troop."
"Tier 9? You mean Valhalla can recruit them now?" Brendel was taken aback. "You mean Valhalla can recruit them now?" Not only did Babu's words not make him feel more understanding, but it also made him feel even more incredulous. Who would believe that a level 2 territory could recruit level 9 troops? Based on what? When Valhalla was burned down by an inexplicable fire, wouldn't it be?
Was there some kind of conspiracy behind it?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. There was a principle in "The Amber Sword", and that was that the reward was generally proportional to the difficulty of the mission. Of course, there was some element of luck, but luck was generally related to adventure. You might find some unexpected wealth, but it was definitely not in the process of a regular mission. Valhalla was through the Loop of Trade Winds.
It was obtained through this quest line, and the story of this quest was epic, and the reward of Valhalla was also more than the price of the ticket price. But Brando felt that everything before this was natural, except for today's.
It had even broken the balance of the game.
He didn't expect Babu to still shake her head, "No, my lord, Valhalla can't recruit level 9 troops now. Even if this is a legendary territory, your request is still too much for it to bear."
"Then what do you mean, Brunhilda is a level 9 troop, didn't you say it yourself?" Brando was stunned.
"What I mean is, Brunhilda is a level 9 troop, but the other Valkyries are still level 8 troops, because Brunhilda is the Queen of the Valkyries, the leader of all the Valkyries, her strength is above the others. In fact, there are four other leaders of the Valkyries, and they also have the strength of a level 9 troop, but the other Valkyries are only level 8 troops. "
You've grown stronger, "Babu replied.
[So that's how it is. But it's still a little ridiculous for a tier 2 territory to summon a tier 8 army. But isn't it a little ridiculous for a tier 2 territory to summon a tier 9 army? But isn't it a little ridiculous to summon a tier 8 army as well?]
Babu nodded as if it was a matter of course, "Of course."
"Then …?" Brando frowned, thinking, 'You're not saying that, and you're not saying that, aren't you contradicting yourself?'
Babu glanced at him, as if realizing that his lord seemed to have misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained, "My lord, I'm afraid you've misunderstood, I'm not saying that Brunhilda and her people can be recruited in the Hall of Warriors of Valhalla. Of course, the Hall of Warriors of Valhalla is indeed closely related to these brave warriors. To be precise, this hall is the Hall of Dawn.
It's a subsidiary building of the Temple. "
"The Temple of Dawn?"
"All of the Valkyries live in the Dawn Temple. That is their palace. The Dawn Temple itself doesn't exist in the Modern World, but there is an exit that is connected to the uppermost hall of Valhalla. Legend has it that the Dawn Temple extends to the Modern World with a silver staircase. This staircase was forged by the hammers in the hands of the people of the clouds. It is the staircase that connects the Valkyries to the Modern World.
It's a passage. "Babu replied.
Brendel finally understood what was going on.
In other words, the Temple of Dawn was actually equivalent to a Lair, and this Lair could recruit the Valkyrie's Valiant Spirit, a powerful level 8 troop. The craftsmen in the Hall of Warriors of Valhalla could forge the entrance of this Lair, and this job was no different from the other Lair, barracks, and functional buildings that Monique and the others cultivated in Valhalla.
The craftsmen of the Cloud Dwellers could do it, which meant that they had to rely on these Divine Craftsmen in front of them. This was the true greatest value that Gorzhu had mentioned.
This was indeed quite a great value. A level 8 troop, even in The Amber Sword, was something that could only be encountered by chance, not to mention a powerful level 8 creature like the Valkyrie. Once Valhalla had them, it could be said that it would be the strongest fortress in this era.
If it could survive for a long time and not be destroyed by natural and man-made disasters like in the game, it would not be impossible for this kingdom to become an empire one day.
However, Brando was very calm at this moment. There was no free lunch in this world, and it was best not to daydream about summoning a level 8 creature in a level 2 territory. Babu and the others had given him so many conditions, and it was obvious that they had restricted the premise of the appearance of the Temple of Dawn. Needless to say, it wouldn't take much resources or time to complete in Valhalla.
Before he was familiar with it, he probably wouldn't consider meeting these legendary warriors.
After thinking about this, he raised his head and asked, "Then, Master Babu, what are the conditions to forge the silver stairs to the Temple of Dawn?"
Sure enough, Babu's first sentence was, "It is a long process. Forging the stairs to heaven requires the lifetime efforts of countless craftsmen. Even if we start now and work day and night, it will take at least one to two thousand years to restore the former glory of the Temple of Dawn."
"Damn, aren't you tricking me? Game designers, you didn't want this thing to come out at all, did you? " Although Brando was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but curse in his heart when he heard this sentence. He suddenly felt like he was wasting time here. However, he thought of another problem. When Monica said that it would take time to cultivate Valhalla, she also said the same thing.
In terms of hundreds of years, but with enough Light Spirits and resources, this time was quickly shortened to half a year. Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart. Valhalla's Warrior Hall would obviously grow with the growth of Valhalla, and with the increase in craftsmen of the Cloud Dwellers, maybe this time could be dozens of times shorter.
What about shortening it?
Of course, he didn't expect to see the Valkyrie in half a year. For a rank 8 soldier like this, if he could see it within ten years, then it would be very significant for Erouine.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "If Valhalla slowly grows, how much time can be shortened?"
"That's hard to say. We are also ignorant of the future," Babu replied, "But my lord, if you are anxious to see these brave warriors, we actually have another way."
Brando was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "What way?"
"As you can see, not all the Valkyries stayed in the Temple of Dawn. In fact, after the battle of Valhalla, many Valkyries and their souls stayed in the Modern World together, like Brunhilda and her subordinates. However, most of these Valkyries were heavily injured in that battle and fell into eternal slumber. Their souls were entrusted to their broken armor and weapons.
In them. As long as we can repair these armor and weapons, and my lord can find their warhorses, we can reawaken these slumbering Valkyries. "Babu replied.
Brando took a deep breath.
"What materials do I need to repair their armor and weapons? How long will it take? Where should I find their warhorses?" He couldn't help but feel a little excited when he said this. If it was before, it felt like a pie had fallen from the sky, but now, it was a true quest-type equivalent exchange. Brando knew very well that to awaken these Valkyries would probably cost him a lot.
He had to pay a huge price, but it was definitely worth it.
Because every time he awakened a Valkyrie, Valhalla would have a top combat power that was at least at Elemental Awakening or even close to Elemental Activation.
Babu paused for a moment, then said, "My lord needs to prepare the gold of the river, the sharp teeth that cut off the future, the blood of the Hydra Lizard, and the singing silver. As for the Valkyries' Pegasus —"
Monica spoke on behalf of him, "We must build a nest for the Wind Steed."
"Holy shit." Brendel's head fell to the ground when he heard the request.
