Chapter 217: Luo Ning's Plans
The tide of necromancy on the Lost Continent doesn't always erupt once in ten years. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, His Excellency the Human Emperor from the Ancient Magic Empire traveled alone to the Far North. This human emperor was not only bold, but also extremely amazing, and he actually killed millions of undead aliens in three days!
After this battle, in the more than 300 years that this human emperor survived, the undead alien race in the far north no longer dared to invade the south of the Frost Dragon Mountain Range. Seven hundred years later, they dared to send a small number of undead to cross the Frost Dragon Mountain Range every twenty years to invade and slaughter. This rhythm continued until about eighty years ago. Perhaps, as the ghost Frost Dragon Tyrak said, someone is secretly manipulating behind it, and every ten years from then on, a vast army of undead will cross the Far North Ice Sheet and set foot in the Frost Dragon Mountains, threatening the safety of humanity. It was also from then on that it became one of the destinations for the Morrowind Academy to send students out to practice, until the turmoil in the Morrowind Kingdom intensified, and the old dean Flamel resolutely decided to split up and send one-third of the people to this vast ice field.
Now, Ronin and Karen sat on Fania's back, whizzing over a vast snow-white ice field, targeting the assembled group of skeleton warriors ten kilometers away, and the dozen or so skeleton mages who were tightly guarded in the center of the group.
This is the eighth day that the two have been out on patrol in the Far North ice field. Although it did not have the glorious record of the legendary human emperor, it had more or less killed thousands of undead alien races. Although most of the kills by Luo Ning are only cannon fodder skeletons with the strength of intermediate warriors, only 3 skill points are credited for each kill. But no matter how hard the door system is, it can't stop the player from mowing the grass all the time!
Ronin is not the kind of old-fashioned knight who pursues high and glorious righteousness. Seeing that there was such a good opportunity to farm monsters in front of him, he couldn't care about losing face, and happily sent the three puppets and Fanya out to hunt together.
He first used Fania's air superiority to find the targets that gathered in groups, and then took turns throwing the three puppets out of mid-air.
Each puppet was thrown down with a death order: Kill until they are killed or killed! Those undead aliens usually deal with humans or demon pets, and have little experience in fighting with magic puppets, and it didn't take long for them to be slashed and killed by this kind of puppet creature that knows no fatigue and no pain.
Actually, it's right to think about it. The undead don't hurt when they shoot, and the puppets aren't afraid of pain! The undead don't need to eat, and the puppets don't need to drink water! The undead can reassemble their bodies and continue to fight if they are broken, but the weapons of the puppets have long been engraved with the exclusive magic pattern for dealing with necromantic creatures - the holy pattern of eternal life!
With such an unbalanced contrast, the battle suddenly lost all suspense, and the balance of victory tilted in favor of the puppets.
And the more powerful undead creatures were handed over to Fanya to deal with. Maybe it's because the people who came to invade this time were scouts or vanguard troops, and their overall strength was low. In seven days, Fanya had only suffered one minor injury - or because she was so excited that her fangs hung her tongue and scratched the snake letter!
As for Ronin?
This guy sat with Karen on the back of the Ice Eagle's fluffy neck as the shopkeeper. He watched his summons fight, but he didn't even have a word of encouragement, and occasionally criticized the puppets for a few words, making Karen cover her mouth and snicker.
On the eighth day, Luo Ning and his party encountered fewer and fewer undead creatures, and the group of skeleton warriors they encountered this evening was their only gain today.
Seeing that the twilight was getting thicker, and the western sky was a deep blue, mixed with a few brilliant colored lights, Luo Ning smiled at Karen: "It's not early! Let's go back after packing up this group of skeletons! Now that the number of undead alien races is getting smaller and smaller, we should also find time to deal with two personal matters!"
"Well, I listen to you!" Karen's reply was as always.
One of the "private matters" in Luo Ning's mouth is to find the traces of the seventh-order demonic beast "Ice Demon Bear" in this Arctic Ice Field, and he already has clues to detect, but the other thing is "to avenge the family of Vis Carter" is as difficult as the sky.
The original invasion of Gutenberg was a large group of high-level undead led by the dragon maiden. Although they killed a lot of these undead in the Battle of Gutenberg, the magic that Karen used at the beginning was more similar to space magic such as "forced teleportation", and also let the undead go a lot.
When Luo Ning thought about this later, he always felt sorry for Weiss, who was commensurate with his brother, and after thinking about it, he had a bold idea: to go to the vicinity of the undead's lair to find out.
To get back to the point, Luo Ning saw that Karen agreed, and also told her his plan: "I'm sorry, Karen! I really can't take you with me this time! I have a way to protect myself, but this method will not work on you!"
Karen bit her lip, and her eyes suddenly turned red and moist. She looked at Luo Ning deeply for a long time before she said, "Okay, I can listen to you this time! But the premise is that you must convince me with your so-called self-protection method!"
Luo Ning was not blind, and naturally saw the pain and struggle in those beautiful eyes. He suddenly stepped forward and kissed Karen's eyes, gently licked the few crumbling tears clean, and then made the two of them touch their foreheads, touched the tip of their noses, and said softly: "Thank you, Karen......"
Then, Ronin let Karen take two steps back and began to show her his secret hole cards.
"Look, Karen! This is the latest transfiguration technique I have learned!" Before the words fell, Luo Ning's body began to undergo drastic changes, and a black mist also shook under his feet, and a pitch-black magic array appeared.
"Ahh......h Luo Ning, who was a red-haired human boy a moment ago, has completely changed his appearance at this time, becoming an evil mage with a sleek, tall and thin body, a lifeless blue-gray complexion, and long pale hair. Look at his clothes and makeup: pale skeletal light armor, a formidable human skull staff, and a pair of cloudy eyes that are full of dead silence and coldness. At this time, Luo Ning, both in appearance and in appearance, was exactly the same as the necromancer they had seen on the Arctic Ice Sheet a few days ago!
Seeing that she was surprised, Luo Ning let out a hoarse and vicissitudes of life chuckle: "Hehe! It's not all! You see me making this magic!" With that, Luo Ning raised his bone staff, and two blue flames suddenly appeared in the eye sockets of the skull at the top of the magic power. At the same time, the group of skeletons who had just been beaten to pieces by the puppets stood up intact after he recited a short incantation, and raised their shields and hammers again.
