Chapter 244: The Ice Queen
After settling on the grassland for half a month, the Zhongren tribe was finally ready to relocate as a whole. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The endless steppes were not ideal places to live, and the tribe was already taking a big risk to stay here for so long. After the dragon blood ice crystals were collected and the food reserves on the road were fully prepared, the large tribe of 10,000 people embarked on the migration journey again.
Woz sat in the largest car in the group, pulled by two large camels. Knowing that the "Divine Messenger" liked to be quiet, there was no second person on the largest trailer, and he was surrounded only by a large number of sacrificial items and other valuable treasures belonging to the tribe - apparently, the chief, the elder, and the priests regarded Watts as a valuable treasure of the tribe.
Woz didn't care much about what they thought, and he needed to calm down and think about it for a while.
It seems that the art of papermaking was not yet popular in human society at this time, and according to the priests, paper was only available in more powerful tribes. This made Woz quite unaccustomed, and as a word wizard, he had developed the habit of writing something when he was thinking.
So, Lina thoughtfully prepared a sand table for him, which he could use to repeat the writing.
At this time, a few lines of text were written on the sand table. Waz was sitting in front of the sandbox, staring at the lines of text in deep thought, the stick in his hand tapping lightly against the edge of the sandbox.
"The Eclipse System, finding Lululua, developing the magic of time...... and hibernation. ”
These are exactly the ways that Woz had in mind, to use to return to the future. Now that he saw hope and set his goal, Woz naturally began to prepare.
Although Woz's own time is still passing, if he can really find a way to return to the future, to the end of 784 years before the time travel, then the time spent in this era is equal to the development time he has earned for nothing. If he makes good use of it, Watts is even confident that he can seize this opportunity to make an "instantaneous" leap in his strength, to the point where he can truly compete with Akunorolia and Jelf.
Thinking about it, Wads suddenly felt that what had happened to him didn't seem to be bad.
After thinking for a long time, Woz reached out and put a cross on the item "develop your own time magic". This option is obviously unlikely, if you have the ability to develop time magic independently, then you don't have to strengthen word magic to deal with Urrutia in the first place, wouldn't it be more convenient to use time magic to fight the past?
Then the "eclipse" system was vetoed. With Woz's current understanding of this era, human magic is just beginning, and whether or not there are Star Spirit Wizards is still a question.
Retrieving Lulua...... Whether or not she has the ability to return to the future with her, Woz can't abandon her.
And then the remaining options are...... Woz looked at the word "hibernation" with a headache. This is really a way to resist the power of time!But it is also the method that Woz grasps the most, after all, he is also an ice magician, and theoretically, he can minimize the side effects of ice hibernation.
It's just that, if there is a possibility, Wolds will not choose this way.
"It seems that my vision is still too narrow. There is no way to jump out of the deadlock of thinking at all. Woz repeatedly circles the final option, "The level of magic in this era, although primitive, is also commendable...... It's better to calm down and study and understand it first, maybe you will find a new way! If it really doesn't work, it's better to use this again. ”
As he spoke, he wrote the words "Final Plan" next to "Hibernation".
The two Lina siblings came to the car lightly. As the first person to discover Woz, and the two who were rescued by Woz, they also admired Woz the most. Plus the two of them are also the most talented teenagers in the tribe, and they have every hope of becoming the kind of "Stranger". So, with the support of the tribal elders, they began to try to learn magic from Woz. Wanting to learn more about the ritual magic of the ritual, Woz readily agreed, exchanging knowledge for knowledge.
Woz also has a specialty in magic, but compared to other magicians, the breadth of his magic is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In order to study the magic of enhanced words, Woz has an in-depth knowledge of all the spells that are popular in the wizarding world, and if the spellbook is still around, Woz can easily imitate every magic effect imaginable. Although it can't be said to be proficient, it is more than enough to teach two magic apprentices.
Woz is also very familiar with Fairy Tail's well-established mage training program. He was confident that he would be able to train an apprentice who was just a mediocre talent to become a qualified magician in a short period of time.
But in the case of Goludo and Lina, Woz finally felt a deep frustration! It's not that these two children are not talented or unwilling to work hard, it's just because of the conflict of three views.
Just as Woz was amazed by the tribe and the level of magic of this era, Lina and the others were unable to understand the magical theories that came from the future. Many things that seemed natural to them at Wolds were like breathing, which people of this era simply could not imagine.
The worst thing is that, since each of them is born with a considerable level of magic, for them, the so-called magic is nothing more than physical strength. Because it is too ordinary, it is ignored subconsciously. The vast majority of people don't even feel the "magic" accurately!
And such a person can basically say goodbye to the profession of magician directly.
Woz's own progress, in turn, is not encouraging. The "sacred songs" sung during the sacrificial ceremonies were only passed down by word of mouth among the high priests, not the language they used on a daily basis, and the corresponding scripts have also been lost. What the priests learned was nothing more than an insignificant pronunciation.
Worse still, there are a large number of errors in these pronunciations, which make it very difficult for Woz to decipher and decipher.
Until other tribes were met and more samples of the "Sacred Song" were obtained, Woz's research could no longer move forward.
At a loss, Wox boredly explains a variety of different magic to the two "students", trying to find the magic that works for them in exhaustive ways.
The migration of such a large contingent is bound to be accompanied by a great deal of danger and trouble.
Sturdy warriors rode tall wildebeest to and fro around the band, driving away the beasts that tried to get close. But when there is a threat from the skies, these seasoned hunters are often helpless, especially when the dragons attack!
Although not long ago, the king of the Terran led a large army to defeat a brigade of dragons, forcing the dragons to reach a reconciliation with the humans, and the two races were temporarily at peace. But this paper treaty alone will not stop some dragons from hunting humans.
The dragons were originally a loose society with a fairly high degree of individual independence, and even orders from the king could not bind all the dragons.
Woz, who was lazily teaching a lesson in the carriage, suddenly raised his head, and his clear gaze pierced through the carriage and cast it into the distant sky.
"What's the matter, teacher!" said Gao Ludo noticed that Woz's expression was abnormal.
"It's a dragon. Can you still get ready for that ritual quickly?" Woz asked.
Lina's little face turned pale: "Impossible, now everyone is scattered in the team, it's too late to gather!"
Neither of them doubted Woz's words, and just as they were about to go down to alert the others, the large force outside the carriage also entered a commotion.
The three Woz went outside and noticed that a white dot in the sky was rapidly growing larger, and in the blink of an eye, it was above people's heads. It's much faster than the dragons we've attacked before!
The tribesmen fell silent in despair, and Woz furrowed his brow at the incoming dragon. Truth be told, this is the most beautiful dragon Woz has ever seen, and even though Woz is not of the same species as her, she is still impressed by her beauty from the bottom of her heart. Unlike the Black Dragon King Akunororia's hideous and terrifying, it is not like the huge bloated Earth Dragon. This giant dragon has a snow-white body, a slender body, and a pair of large wings behind it are crystal clear.
Lonely and unearthly.
The dragon swept low above the ranks, but had no intention of attacking, only a pair of bright eyes coldly swept over the entire tribe.
"Click!" All the clay pots in the team that stored water burst in an instant, and the water inside was frozen into ice by the sudden cold breath.
All the torches were extinguished the moment the dragon flew by, the surface of the metal objects was covered with hoarfrost, and the mouths and noses of all the people and livestock exhaled white air, and the whole tribe seemed to have come to the harsh winter in a matter of seconds!
"Ice Dragon......" Woz stretched out his palm, feeling the coldness in the air.
"Yes...... It's the Ice Queen!" Lina said as she shuddered as she wrapped her clothes tightly, "That's the 'Lone Ice Queen'." ”
Gao Ludo added, "She is the most beautiful dragon in the legend, and her beauty among the dragons is even comparable to that of the White Dragon King, Junli. But it's much better with her words, the Ice Queen never preys on humans. ”
"So, she's a good dragon?" Woz asked with interest.
The so-called good dragons are the dragons who are on the side of humans in the war between the two races and help humans fight against evil dragons.
The chief walked over: "No, Lord Temugelsey does not belong to any faction, does not support humans, and does not lean towards dragons. That's why she's called the 'Lonely' and 'Desireless' Ice Dragon. Our king once sent an emissary to the north to try to convince her to help humanity fight the dragon, but she ignored it and did not even see the ice dragon's face. In the previous war, it is said that three dragon kings teamed up to go to the north and asked her to come out and participate in the war against humans, but she was eventually beaten out of the northern continent. Some people say that the strength of Lord Taimugelsai has even reached the level of the White Dragon King Junli. But no one knew what she was thinking, let alone what she wanted. The only thing that is recognized by both humans and dragons is that unless threatened, the ice dragon will not appear on its own initiative, let alone leave her territory easily. ”
Woz looked at the sky, "But now, she's here. ”
"No one can guess what she thinks. With a look of awe, the chief looked in the direction of the ice dragon.
Due to the impact of the ice dragon's flight, the tribe's migration team had to pause for a moment to wait for the harsh winter to pass.
It was getting dark, so I simply camped and rested.
However, just as the temperature in the area began to return to normal, the figure of the Snow Queen Correll Temugelsey reappeared from the sky.
As before, the bonfire went out, all the liquid froze, and winter fell again.
The ice dragon Corell still didn't make any offensive moves, just swept the crowd below with a cold gaze.
Early the next morning, Korrell flew over the group for the third time.
This time, the Ice Queen let out a crisp and long sigh - the sigh of the ice dragon!
Formless, insubstantial waves of magic erupted from her mouth, condensing the moisture in the air into countless sandy Xiaoice crystals on contact, and it was this ice crystal that outlined the trajectory of this roaring magic—sweeping through and slicing the entire team in half!
The cart of the Wolds was within range of the attack. Although the ice dragon's attack hadn't really touched the things below, everything had already frosted, as if the entire world was rapidly freezing with the naked eye!
Woz stood on the roof of the car, with his body at the core, and a huge magic circle suddenly bounced away. Another cold magic swept over people's bodies.
Before they could feel any worse, Woz's magic circle flickered, his magic rapidly expanding to all of the Ice Dragon's Sigh's area of effect, then closing to the center at a faster pace.
"Ding~" A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in everyone's ears.
The people of the tribe suddenly found that the temperature around them had not changed much, and it was still full of the normal heat of late summer.
And in the palm of Woz's hand, a crystal ice crystal glowing with a light blue light appeared.
Lina had a palpitation, but looked at Woz with a look of adoration: "The teacher is so powerful, but why did the Ice Queen suddenly attack us?"
"No, she's not attacking you, she's greeting me. Woz grabbed the ice crystals in his hand, "She's looking for me!"
