Act 142 Bet
Until crossing the entire glacier, the king of the frost-devouring giant insect 'Frostfang' that should have been stored in the game has never appeared, but there are some frost revenants in the snow, these undead creatures are said to be generated by the souls of those travelers who haunt the glacier and freeze to death, they are similar to ghosts, but they look like ice demons haunted by snow-covered forests, fortunately, their own strength is not very strong, the little female dragon, Brando and Veronica were sent away casually, and they didn't even need the Gray Sword Saint to make a move, Of course, the three of them have a lot of experience.
The mobs in this kind of large-scale dungeon, the experience and drops are also very rich, but it's a pity that getting the passing pointer today obviously made Brando lose his character, and none of the dozens of frost revenants dropped anything good, not even a high-level white suit. Brando is a little crying, if the passing pointer he got is a set, it is worth it, but it is only half, and the character that should be lost is still to be lost, which is too unfair.
After crossing the glacier, a procession of caves hidden in the valley of TongguΓ² entered the belly of the mountain again, and under the guidance of Brando, they turned through a long artificial corridor, as if suddenly, a magnificent picture seemed to fall from the sky before everyoneβa magnificent temple embedded in the belly of the mountain, hundreds of feet high, with arches to create a towering trapezoidal space, and the temple was built in the same style as the remains of Milos that they had seen on the ground. But beams of sky-blue light hung down from the dome of the Temple, like sharp swords hundreds of feet long, spilling on the dark blue ice, intertwining with the sloping beams and pillars to form patches of shadows.
The temple is so majestic that it seems to be a giant sandwiched between the belly of a mountain that supports the glaciers on either side independently, and when one steps out of this narrow walkway, one can only feel as small as dust.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper in their hearts, even if Brando had already read the description in the guide. At this moment, my mind is also shaken. This is the Eternal Absolute Square, and further on, there is the Spiral Hall, which is a civilization from the previous era, and the square still reverberates with the terrible screams from that war, and then all of them are silent. All that remains is the silence of these 10,000 years.
"What's that?" The little prince didn't know when he also ran to the front, he asked curiously as he stared curiously at the clusters of dark blue balls of light cruising in the square below.
"Breath of Ice."
Those were the activated magic that had been awakened by the dark magic from the ancient battlefield, but the number was staggering, from one end of the square to the other, there were at least a thousand of them, scattered dotted with stars, like stars in the night sky. Veronica couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw this scene, this ancient activation magic was quite difficult. If there are dozens of them, it will be easy to deal with, but these tens of thousands, even if she and the Gray Sword Saint shoot together, plus the little female dragon or Brando, I am afraid that she will be drowned.
"Just kill it?" She took a breath, and the current scene also proved from the side the tragedy of the ancient war, and how dense the explosion of magic needed to lead to the gathering of so many activated magic here thousands of years later. Vaynd has another ancient battlefield. It was the place where the final battle between the four sages and the Dark Dragon took place, and it is now known as the Land of Dead Silence. There are also a large number of activated magic active in it, but the number is not as outrageous as here, and the battlefield that is dozens of miles long is only a few hundred activated magic, but here...... Veronica couldn't help but shake her head: "I'm afraid it will take a few days to clean it up." β
"We don't have that much time, and there's the Spiral Hall in the back. At this time, they should be fast, and we must be one step ahead of them. Brando immediately replied, "I'll get them away, and I'll give you the signal later, and you'll walk through the square." β
"No way!"
"No, you can't!" Brando was slightly stunned and turned his head. only to find that it was the little she-dragon and Medissa who spoke against him. The little female dragon looked him up and down, and replied with some dissatisfaction: "You are my toy, do you want to ask the owner's opinion before making a claim?" β
Medisa was more worried: "My lord, your identity is different from what you used to be, so there is no need to take risks yourself. As a superior person, you have to learn the way of the superior person. β
Brando raised his eyebrows, why was this line so familiar, he looked at the little princess of the silver elf and asked, "What else did Antitina say to you?" β
The little princess of the silver elf's face turned red, and said, "No...... No...... This...... That's what I want to say. β
Brando looked at the blushing Metissa, and couldn't help but be a little amused, probably not expecting this little elf princess to have such a side. He was about to comfort the other party, but at this time Veronica also spoke, her opinion was similar to that of Metisa: "Brando, you are not the strongest among us, the little princess is right, it is better to leave it to me or Mephistopheles." β
Brando shrugged, ignoring the ti-dragon's previous nonsense, but he had his own opinion on Veronica's question. In fact, this is not as dangerous as imagined, it's just a strange thing, and if the warriors who are mixed to the level of more than 100 pure professions in the game don't even know this, it's really better to buy a piece of tofu and crash to death. And it's a well-known trick to lure away these Ice Breaths, where players played materials back in the day
It's a must-have, and Brando, although he hasn't tried it himself, can't say he won't.
It's not that Mephistopheles or Veronica themselves won't be able to learn the trick, it's not that difficult, but the problem is that the skill requires a prerequisite for familiarity with the terrain. And among all the people present, he was the only one who could barely say that he was qualified for this condition. And there is no room for mistakes, once surrounded by thousands of Ice Breath, even Mephistopheles will not be able to escape lightly, and once it turns into a head-to-head battle, it will be a lot of fun. As Veronica said before, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the fight in a few days.
So he finally shook his head: "Lord Veronica, Sensei, it's not difficult to lure these monsters away, but do you know where to lure them to?" I know, because I'm more familiar with this place than you are, so let me try it first. Don't worry, if it feels tricky, I'll find a way to go back the way I came. β
"How did you come back?" Brando's perfunctory demeanor clearly did not hide from the Cruz's captain.
"Uh......" This lie is not easy to tell, Brando hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's not good to say, I'll figure it out myself." β
Veronica stared at him suspiciously.
Brando sighed. He had to explain: "Lord Veronica, don't worry, do you think I look like the kind of person who doesn't care about my own safety?" Okay, maybe I can try it for the sake of Eruin, but for you Cruz people, I'm not high enough to do that, so believe me, okay? β
This statement finally impressed the female corps commander, although it sounded a little less pleasant. Even Prince Lenarit, who was behind him, couldn't help but snort coldly, feeling that Brando's statement was too arrogant, when did the Cruz people have to ask for the help of the Eruins? Veronica looked at him deeply, and replied deliberately coldly, "Well, there is still a gap between a little slippery head like you and those who flaunt self-sacrifice, although you often pretend to be so demagoguery." β
Brando couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this, he knew that Veronica was talking about the scene that had happened in the Ring of Trade Winds. However, at the time, he really didn't have much intention of sacrificing himself for the sake of the druids or the tree elves, just trying to find a way to survive in a desperate situation. He looked back. Most of the Cruz people who were unfamiliar with this experience were at a loss, while several of their subordinates were snickering, especially the little princess of the silver elves, who smiled very sweetly.
But in any case, Veronica finally didn't object.
When he turned around, his teacher, the Gray Sword Saint, was also silent. He only nodded slightly to him and replied lightly: "Since this is what you asked for, then be careful and have more opportunities to hone yourself, which is also a good thing for you." Brando raised an eyebrow. I have to say that his teacher is also a strange person, maybe it is really nothing for the other party to stand out from the encirclement of thousands of monsters, after all, this is the one who fought his way out of the encirclement and suppression of the army in the core area of the Cruz Empire.
This is really incomparable, you must know that among the people who participated in the encirclement and suppression of him back then, there were many Storians of Veronica's level, and compared to these people, the threat of Ice Breath was about slightly stronger than that of a pet dog.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and gestured to his wizard attendant not far away, "Charles, you come with me." β
Attracting monsters is a technical job, although it can be done by one person, but with his current strength, it is indeed a little reluctant, and with the assistance of a wizard, it is very different. The point is that Charles is his summon, he can reset him at any time if he encounters danger, if he brings someone else, it will be more or less in the way at a critical moment, and the main reason is that he is unwilling to let Veronica and them know some of his little secrets.
Facing the call of his lord, Charles could only sigh, he spread his hands, as if he had expected that as long as it was hard work, he would be indispensable.
"My lord, I don't owe you anything in my last life."
"It's hard to say, but I think I owe someone." Brando replied with some reluctance.
"Someone?"
The young wizard turned around, only to find that Brando had only taken a step forward when someone grabbed the corner of his coat with one hand. Brando turned around helplessly, and met Akane's bright and somewhat worried eyes: "You wait for me here, Akane, I'll be back soon." Oh no, we should be meeting on the other side right away, okay? Brando thinks it's a bit too unfortunate to say that he will be back soon, why is he coming back? So he hurriedly changed his words.
However, the red-haired girl looked at him and shook her head earnestly.
It's -- 'Not good!' 'means.
β¦β¦
The Ice's Breath has a warning range of about thirty feet, his perception of activation magic is poor, and his level is somewhat higher than the theoretical entry level of the Hibernator Temple, so Brando is about twenty-five feet closer before stopping. Charles followed suit, the wizard's stealth ability was far inferior to that of the warrior class, let alone compared to the nightingale, but magic could solve the problem, and he used a sound-absorbing method to completely eliminate his footsteps, so that his steps sounded lighter than Brando.
Later, it was Akane, Brando couldn't convince this mountain girl, so she had to let her follow, but fortunately, Akane's strength was not weak, and she also had dragon blood. It may be a little difficult for her to hide her voice in front of those probing monsters, but it is still okay for something as half-deaf and half-blind as Ice Breath.
It's just - Brando looked back again, and saw the sneaky faces of Aloz and Star.
"What are you doing here?" Brando glared at them in disgust.
"I'm afraid I'll lose my toys." Aloz's answer was a matter of course.
"She caught me." Starr replied without tears.
Brando was a little speechless, he knew that it was better to simply take everyone to break through, these four or five people together to attract the blame, it was simply a fantasy. He had no choice but to gesture viciously to Aloz: "I'll listen to my command later." β
"What kind of attitude do you have!" The little female dragon seemed to be very dissatisfied. However, after squirming for a while, he added: "...... But if it makes sense, I can still think about it. β
Brando snorted lightly, hid behind the first pillar and pointed to the other pillar and said, "See that over there, the attack method of Ice Breath is a ray, the range is about one hundred and twenty feet, and the way they move is to fly, and the speed of movement is about fifteen feet per second, but we have five chances to avoid their pursuit through the GuΓ² pillar." Therefore, if your own burst speed cannot reach more than twelve feet per second, you can obediently retreat. β
As he spoke, he looked back at the others.
But Aloz looked at him like an idiot: "What do you look at? β
"Ask, of course." Brando replied.
"Are you an idiot, we're dragons." The little she-dragon replied angrily, "We can even walk faster than you." β
"He's too?" Brando pointed with his chin at the little fat man beside Aloz.
"My lord, although I don't like sports much, I'm still faster than you." Starr replied with a shy belly and an urn.
Brando couldn't help but touch his face, feeling a little wrong. Dragons are the people of gold, and they are a combat-oriented race. The body is naturally not covered, and he just maintains the habit of being the head of the regiment subconsciously asking, but he forgets this stubble. He looked at Qian again, the mountain girl didn't answer, but the other party had half of the dragon blood, so naturally there was no need to say more. He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Charles.
"My lord, I have a dimensional gate." The wizard squire pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.
"So, am I the slowest?" Brando suddenly felt a little unbearable on his face.
"This ...... Pretty much. Charles looked at the others, Aloz and Starr were dragons. Akane can also be said to be a half-headed dragon, and he has a magical body, so it seems that the lord is indeed dragging his feet.
"Well, little friend Brando," Aloz seemed very happy to see Brando's deflatedness, and couldn't help but giggle, "Now you understand, we're here to help you." If you don't have the help of Miss Ben, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to complete this task, but secondly, if you are killed by these flies, I will not have the toys that I managed to get my hands on, which is very bad. β
Brando knew that the little she-dragon was deliberately working against him, as if she had been haunted by it since she knew that he had given the golden apple to Akane, but his mind suddenly turned to him: "Aloz, how about we make a bet?" β
"Bet?" The little female dragon narrowed her eyes and subconsciously became a little vigilant.
"Well, I'm trying to say that luring these monsters away so that others can pass through them is not as simple as you think. If you think it's enough to be fast enough, you're wrong, and I can tell you that even if it's fast, you're not as good as me here. Brando replied, "So, it's better for you and Starr to go back and act with the others, and leave this place to the professional personnel department." β
"If you don't do this, I'll not be provoked by you," Aloz snorted, "but how do you want to bet?" β
Brando smiled secretly, this little female dragon has different hearts, he has already understood it, and hurriedly replied: "I won't say it, compare the speed, see who reaches the finish line first." β
"Speed up with the dragons," Aloz's eyes widened, "Are you crazy?" β
Brando nodded seriously: "The one who loses must unconditionally agree to the winner on one condition." β
"Conditions?" The little female dragon was slightly stunned, suddenly hugged her chest, blushed a little face, and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do, shameless!" β
Damn, where did you go? Brando's eyes almost didn't scream when he saw the little she-dragon like this, and he hurriedly raised a finger to make a silent gesture, and then leaned out to take a lookβfortunately, the Breath of Ice that was cruising outside didn't seem to notice the noise here, and was worthy of the title of half-deaf and half-blind. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and scolded Aloz angrily, "Are you crazy and want to die here?" β
Aloz looked at him hatefully, bared his fangs and retorted, "Who told you to make such a shameful request?" β
"Where is the shame!" Brando's sudden sight of Charles and Starr's strange expressions, and Akane's blushing face, made him want to strangle the stupid little she-dragon to death: "I mean, if I win, you'll have to give me the true dragon's heart." Brando paused as he said this, after all, the Dragon's Heart was the secret treasure of the Dragons, and he didn't know how valuable it was to the Dragons.
It's just that Princess Magdal has to rely on the dragon's heart to recover, so he came up with this solution in a hurry.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, Starr hurriedly shook his head: "The Dragon's Heart is mine!" But alas Aloz looked at him suspiciously and asked, "That's it?" Well, I agreed. β
"Sister Aloze!" The little fat dragon's eyes widened.
"It's okay, you're going to participate." Aloz patted his cheap brother on the shoulder and replied grinningly, "So if he loses, he owes each of us a demand." β
"Can it still be like this?" Charles was dumbfounded, and he hurriedly raised his hand: "Then I'll participate too." β
Brando watched coldly, watching his young wizard squire kill himself, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. However, he was also a little curious, and asked, "What kind of bet do you want?" Because in Brando's usual impression, Charles seemed to be a casual and casual person, and he didn't seem to have any other desires except for the necessary magical research.
"That's nothing, but I think it's cool, don't you, think about it, your master owes you a request, and it feels dirty and unreasonable when you think about it." Charles couldn't help but reply with a fluttering eyebrow,
"Damn," Brando had nothing to say about the strange idea of his squire.
But when he turned around, he saw Akane blushing and raising her hand.
"You're going to participate too?"
"Hmm."
"Holy!" For a moment, Brando's mind involuntarily had this thought:
It's really dirty, it's very unreasonable.
β¦β¦ (To be continued......)
