Act Fifty-Four: The Crystal Stag

The two stood on a cliff, staring at a silent valley.

"From here, you're in the Valley of the Holy Inde, do you remember the steps to catch the Crystal Stag?" Brando observed below, the valley was also covered with dense cedar forests, but there was a bright light between the woodlands, which was the glow of moongrass.

"Go down."

"Catch it."

Brando turned his head and looked at the female knight with a calm face. This is really like Senior Sister Bai Jia's answer, simple, clear, without a trace of ambiguity.

"Look at what I do, with your current ability to catch it, it's not a problem. All I remember is that the valley was a concentric circle, with frost demons inhabiting the outermost part of the valley, and then there was a lake, and the water was so shallow that many places could be waded through. Nimesis basked in the night breeze with a calm face

"This information is obtained even from the geographical records of the kingdom......"

"You guessed it right, Mr. Brando. I did learn this information from the Geography of Manowell, published in 355, and the memories of my dreams were fragmented, and sometimes I had to correspond them to the literature. Nimesis replied lightly.

"But you tell me that you can find the crystal stag! They only appear at three or four o'clock in the full moon tonight, and they are on a journey to the River of Magic, but I have never found the River of Magic......"

"I have, but you need to take me down first."

Brando breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at the pitch-black forest, and nodded, "That's not a problem. ”

The distance from the outskirts of the valley to the central lake is a sloping central slope with large cedar forests scattered loosely, and the forest is dotted with moonlight grass, which glows brightly, and looks like a burning meadow from a distance. This is also the breath of the Frost Demon. The Frost Demon is a secondary elemental creature. It looks a bit like a flat ice sf, its strength is about the same as that of three skeleton soldiers, and its vitality is far more tenacious than the latter. However, there are no special attacks, except for a spell called the 'Ice Throwing Knife'.

As a low-level monster, the Frost Demon also lacks intelligence. The action relied entirely on the instincts of the beast. Therefore, hunters can also catch them by setting traps. The Frost Core of the Magic Core in their body can be sold for a good price in the Bazaar as an inferior magic crystal.

Brando wasn't going to provoke these things, though - most frost demons like to move in groups, especially near their habitats. He didn't want to get these monsters to attack him.

This is the first test of this task.

This test is a big hassle for the average player, and Brando can imagine that unless it's a master to complete the task. Most of the choices of ordinary players are estimated to be calling friends and going all the way from the periphery.

However, this task was unusually easy for him, and he took out the Punic King's cloak of all things directly from his backpack. Then spread it open and stand down. He looked up at the female knight beside him again: "Come in." ”

With a slight hesitation, Nimesis slipped into the cloak. Huddle with Brando.

"I warn you. You are not allowed to come near me. She exhaled.

Brando nodded slightly awkwardly, then closed the cloak with his hand. Inevitably. The distance between the two was a little closer, and Nimesis snorted softly, but she also knew that Brando didn't mean to take advantage of her, so she could only skip it.

With the Cloak of the Cover, it was a very easy thing to get through the Frost Demon's territory, and without even thinking about a detour, Brando went straight through the first half of the valley. Soon, he saw a silver spot of light appear in the forest, and it was a lake. The reason why the silver shines is because the mirror-like surface of the lake reflects the continuous moonlight grass.

As Brando approached the lake, the cloak of concealment in his hand finally lost its magic, flickering twice before turning back into an old rag.

And it was at this time that Brando heard a sharp 'squeak' from behind him. He knew it was bad. Hurriedly put away the cloak, pulled out the sword of the earth, and when he looked back, he saw a transparent creature like ice crystals in the shadow of a tree not far away, watching them there.

The thing looked like a thin iceman, half the height of a normal human, and barely able to tell that there was a crimson glow at the place of the skull, which looked like eyeballs. But Brando knew that it was just the core of the other party's magic.

This is the Frost Demon.

"Looks like your cloak lasted a little shorter than you expected, regressed, Brando." Nimesis turned, drew her sword, and stood back to back with Brando.

Brando was immediately a little embarrassed, since he crossed into this world, because his attention was occupied by other things, as a player's acuity, it was indeed a lot slower.

After a scream, twenty or thirty monsters of similar appearance immediately poured out of the cedar forest, surrounding the two of them in the center.

"How?" Brando asked.

"I can handle seven or eight heads, no problem." Nimesis looked calm.

"Then you protect yourself, and I'll take care of the rest."

Nimesis nodded, she was well aware of Brando's abilities. With her strength, she can only be a drag from the other party here, so she just needs to protect herself and not let Brando be distracted.

As soon as Brando's words fell, the blade of the Sword of Earth slashed downward, and with a loud bang, as if something was rising from under the ground, only to see two sharp rock tusks pierce the ground and shoot towards the two frost demons, who nailed them to the cedar trunk behind them before the latter had time to react.

With a click, Cedar's waist snapped, and the two frost demons were completely smashed into a pile of ice crystal fragments.

It was just an instantaneous thing, so much so that before the many ice crystal monsters could react, there were already two less of their kind. But as we all know, the sword of the earth is not activated until the sword is swung, not that the sword is empty, but that Brando has not yet arrived.

Brando's figure is fading.

But on the other side of the battlefield --

The black blade was emerging from the frost demon - the monster looked up and watched as the sword of the earth swept through its body as if it shattered glass, and the body of the ice crystals shattered inch by inch.

Brando's sword seemed to cut through the gap, swinging a huge arc, and the three-headed frost demon turned into countless scattered fragments along with his sword.

A frost demon shattered in mid-air. Ablation at a rate visible to the naked eye. Before the shattered body could hit the ground, it turned into a light blue crystal and fell to the ground.

This thing is the Core of Frost. A very inferior alternative mana crystal, but barely a renewable resource - a valuable asset to Brando when he first arrived in Toniger. But now he didn't even bother to glance at the falls, and struck into the frost demon like a whirlwind, and in an instant it seemed as if there were four or five Brandos on the battlefield at once.

Nimesis soon joined the fray, and the battle was largely one-sided, with only the last few frost demons inflicting a slight abrasion on the female knight with their ice knives as they were dying. And if these monsters want to pose any threat to Brando, it is basically unlikely.

The last frost demon also turned into ice slag under Brando's sword, and the battle ended in just a few minutes, and Brando didn't even feel like he was even warm. However, it took a lot of effort for Nimesis to push away with all her strength and finally kill the frost. Let the corpse fall to the ground with a 'thud', shattered into thousands of pieces, and then carry the sword. It looks very laborious.

Brando turned around. looked at the female knight who was blushing, and teased: "You have also regressed a lot." ”

"Don't compare me to her. I'm not her. Nimesis let out a soft breath, looked up and glared at him hatefully.

Brando smiled faintly. He also knew that Nimeisis was not a white senior sister, but they seemed to influence each other, and from her, he could always see the shadow of the senior sister in the details. He now finally knew why, in addition to her appearance, she always gave him a kind of affection.

Perhaps it is because of this feeling that it is difficult for him to have a bad feeling for the other party, and even some natural closeness.

At this time, the corpse of the frost demon that Nimesis had killed was melting, as if it had turned into snow and seeped under the meadow, leaving behind a dark blue hexagonal crystal. Brando's smile froze on his face.

"Hmm......" Nimesis also noticed something at her feet, and she gently picked it up: "It's ......"

"Frostheart!" Brando almost didn't scream.

"Martha, how did your face get better?" He looked at the female knight dumbfounded, and blurted out, "The drop rate of this thing is only 0.003%!" ”

Nimesis was slightly stunned, and immediately looked at him hatefully, and replied word by word: "I said, I'm not her-"

"But it's not the same black face." Brando couldn't help but curse, and he felt a little uneasy when he thought of the knight's previous experience of opening corpses.

"What did you say?"

"No, just sigh......" Brando shrugged.

Nimesis glanced at the gem in her hand, her eyes a little confused, but she clearly knew it. She held up the Heart of Ice, "You want, this thing works for you?" ”

"It makes a big difference." Brando took a deep breath and replied without concealment.

"But you're not an elemental, are you?"

"I know, but it's more useful to me than to elementals—" Brando replied.

Hearing his answer, Nimesis did not hesitate, as if what she had in her hand was a piece of garbage to her, she glanced at the gem again, and then threw it away. "Remember, don't compare me to her, I am me, and my name is Nimesis." With this action, the female knight coldly ordered.

Brando was slightly stunned, and he suddenly thought of something: "That's why you don't want to learn magic......?" ”

But before he could finish this sentence, he was stared back with a cold look from Nimesis. "I'm going to fix my wounds." The knight dropped the sentence and disappeared behind the woods.

Brando already had the answer in his mind, but he paused for a moment before bending down to pick up the Frost Heart. Opening the panel, a familiar attribute immediately appeared in his field of vision:

Heart of Frost
