Chapter 137: Pick-1
When she stepped on the snow on the dark island and looked at the snow-capped world shrouded in a dark night, Wen Ying was amazed - coming to heaven, this was the first time Wen Ying saw the natural night, and the first time she felt the existence of "night".
The eyesight of the Protoss is not affected by day and night, but Wen Ying, as a Terran, has limited eyesight in the night. Grand Duke Ivan used his divine power to cast a spell on a night pearl, causing this night pearl to move with Wen Ying's movements, illuminating Wen Ying's surroundings brightly.
Looking at the icy surroundings, I thought of the fungus that had said: "The Dark Island is extremely cold, there is no Red Dragon Ball or Golden Dragon Ball, the human race will soon freeze to death in the Dark Island." Wen Ying was curious, and she took off the five-colored dragon ball necklace around her neck. Looking at the five-color dragon ball necklace in her hand, Wen Ying let go of her hand, and the necklace fell.
"Ah-" In an instant, Wen Ying felt that the cold air hit people, seeping into the bone marrow, extremely cold, and her body immediately froze. Wen Ying's hair and eyebrows have been frosted, and her skin quickly turned purple.
Grand Duke Ivan sensed Wen Ying's actions, he stretched out his hand, and immediately hugged Wen Ying into his arms. Grand Duke Ivan held Wen Ying's hand around her waist, and the runes flowed from her fingertips.
The moment Grand Duke Ivan's hand touched Wen Ying, Wen Ying only felt a warm current transmitted from Grand Duke Ivan's hand to herself, and the whole person immediately seemed to be wearing a five-colored dragon ball necklace -- as if she was in a black castle with a pleasant climate.
Grand Duke Ivan's other palm made a gesture of holding things, and the colorful dragon ball necklace on the snow suddenly flew into Grand Duke Ivan's hand.
Wen Ying regretted it in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to take the necklace in the hand of Grand Duke Ivan, but Grand Duke Ivan put the necklace into the pocket of his riding jacket, and said with a low smile: "Since you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it." As he spoke, he tightened his hand around Wen Ying's waist.
The corners of Grand Duke Ivan's mouth raised a graceful arc, making the smile on his face doting and gentle, as dazzling and warm as the sun melting snow.
Wen Ying felt that her eyes were a little trance, and her eyes were confused. Although Wen Ying was afraid of the cruel and cold Grand Duke Ivan, she was even more afraid of the gentle Grand Duke Ivan in front of her. The Grand Duke of Ivan at this moment made Wen Ying feel scared for no reason. She didn't like Grand Duke Ivan to be so gentle, considerate and doting on her. This kind of tenderness made the defense line stationed in her heart begin to collapse little by little, making her unable to control her emotions.
Seeing the people and walkers of the Protoss who were waiting for Grand Duke Ivan in front, Wen Ying twisted her body and whispered: "Grand Duke, please let go, Wen Ying is just a slave, and this posture will damage the image of Grand Duke." ”
"Huh?" Grand Duke Ivan's voice was gentle with a hint of displeasure: "How did you call me?" ”
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment, and her voice became quieter: "Ivan--。 ”
Hearing Wen Ying call herself to be Ivan, Grand Duke Ivan took out the five-color dragon ball necklace. In front of everyone's eyes, Grand Duke Ivan personally put on a five-color dragon ball necklace for Wen Ying, so intimate, Wen Ying's face couldn't help but flush a little.

In the barracks by the dark lake, a few night pearls hung above the camp, emitting a bright light, and the camp and its surroundings were bright, as if daylight had fallen. In an open space in front of the camp, nearly a hundred Xuantie Walkers stood in a neat line.
In front of the Darkiron Walkers, there were five or six people standing randomly. At the head was none other than Grand Duke Ivan. Next to Grand Duke Ivan are Count Aaron and Wen Ying, who are stationed on the Dark Isle. Count Alaric stood beside Wen Ying. Jin Zheng and a few other gold walkers stood behind casually.
Wen Ying's riding outfit is specially made, with a thick piece of leather specially sewn on the left shoulder. The little golden dragon stopped at Wen Ying's left shoulder at this moment. His body was shining with golden runes, which were the magic of the little golden dragon that made it as light as a feather, and did not add extra weight to Wen Ying. It's been almost a month since the little golden dragon broke out of its shell, and it's also starting to be able to perform some simple magic. Although the little golden dragon is only the size of a puppy, it already weighs nearly 100 catties. If he didn't cast his magic powers, Wen Ying would not be able to bear the weight of the little golden dragon on her shoulders.
Seeing the thin clothes of the walkers in front of her, Wen Ying had to believe that the records of the Divine Magic Dictionary were indeed true--Wen Ying had read in the Divine Magic Dictionary before, except for the Jin people in the naturally hardy demon race, the God Race and the demon people who ignited the source of magic power could resist the cold of the Dark Island, and other races, without Dragon Balls, it was extremely difficult to survive in the Dark Island. The Terrans are even more vulnerable, and the Terrans without the Dragon Balls will freeze to death in less than a day on the Dark Isle.
Looking at the barracks behind the walkers, Wen Ying couldn't help but marvel. The barracks were built on the mountain, from the lake to the foot of the mountain, and from the foot of the mountain to the top of a mountain.
Earl Aaron's deep-seated blue eyes were bright, and his voice had a hint of coarseness: "Today, Grand Duke Ivan has come to the Dark Isle to select a few people from among you to serve as the warriors of Castle Black. ”
Although the walker and the warrior are both demon people who have ignited the source of magic power, the walker, as an army under the demon elders' council, is directly under the management of the elder council on the surface, but the protoss's control over the walkers is not lax. For example, in a place like the Dark Isle, the supreme commander is the Count of the Protoss, not the Goldwalker. And the warriors are mainly loyal to the Protoss directly in the castle and palace, and directly obey the orders of the Protoss. Although the social status of the Xuantie Walker and the lowest-level martial servant is similar, in terms of living conditions and treatment, the martial attendant is better than the Xuantie Walker, so many demon people who have ignited the source of magic power are very willing to become martial guards.
"As a walker and a warrior, what is it for?" Earl Aaron asked.
"Allegiance to the Protoss!"
"Defend the Dark Isle!"
"Look for a light source!"
The crowd responded. Even if the content of the words is different, they all mean allegiance to the Protoss. When you become a walker or a warrior, the oath you take is very simple, with only eight words: allegiance to the gods, until death.
Count Aaron turned slightly sideways and said respectfully to Grand Duke Ivan: "These nearly a hundred Xuantie Walkers are all extremely diligent, and their qualifications are relatively good, and the Grand Duke can choose them at will. ”
Grand Duke Ivan bowed slightly, and he pointed to a round-faced darkiron walker directly in front of him.
"Jin Chen Wenzhi, let's get out of the ranks." Count Aaron's gaze followed the direction of Archduke Ivan's finger and said roughly.
Jin Chen Wenzhi walked out, and he looked a little surprised on his face. He had just knelt down on one knee when he heard the cold voice of Grand Duke Ivan: "Jin Chen Wenzhi, do you really think so in your heart?" ”
Jin Chen raised his head, and immediately turned pale.
The words of Grand Duke Ivan made Count Aaron and Count Alaric feel a little strange in their hearts, and the two immediately read Jin Chen's mind to understand the reason for Grand Duke Ivan's question.
It turned out that Jin Chen was standing in the middle of the first row, right in front of Grand Duke Ivan and Wen Ying. While the other walkers were showing their loyalty to Grand Duke Ivan, Jin Chen's thoughts were on Wen Ying.
The fact that Grand Duke Ivan and Grand Duke Litus fell in love with Wen Ying, the first dragon lord of the human race, at the same time has long become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the Seven Continents. Jin Chen saw Wen Ying for the first time, and found that Wen Ying was really as rumored to be --- ordinary, but he saw that Grand Duke Ivan loved Wen Ying so much, and he was very curious. And he came to a conclusion in his heart: Grand Duke Ivan is cold and cruel, and Wen Ying loves Grand Duke Litus, which is also a matter of course.
Jin Chen didn't expect that when Count Aaron asked, the Grand Guild of Ivan would read the minds of all the Xuantie Walkers present.
Jin Chen trembled at the moment, and he felt a wave of anger from Grand Duke Ivan's cold tone. Thinking that Grand Duke Ivan's temper has always been tyrannical and impermanent, it must have been what he wanted in his heart that angered Grand Duke Ivan. Jin Chen looked at Grand Duke Ivan in a daze, his expression pale, and he didn't know how to respond.
