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 outer part of the valley to the central lake is a sloping area towards the center. There are large cedar forests scattered in the loose grounds, and the forest is dotted with moonlight grass, which glows brightly, and looks like a burning meadow from a distance. It's also the Frost Demon's breath, a minor elemental creature that looks a bit like a flat Ice Slicer, and its strength is roughly equal to that of three skeleton soldiers. The vitality is far more tenacious than the latter, but 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, and relies entirely on the instincts of beasts to act. Therefore, hunters can also catch them by setting traps. The core of the magic power in their bodies, the Frost Core, is a kind of inferior magic crystal. You can also sell it at a good price at the market.
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, the task was unusually easy for him, he took the Punic King's cloak of all things directly from his backpack, then spread it out and stood still. 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, don't 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 he also knew that Brando didn't mean to take advantage of her, so he could only ignore 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. 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 a frost demon - the monster looked up and watched as the sword of the earth swept through its body. It's like shattering glass, and the body of the ice crystal breaks 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.
The shattered frost demon in mid-air dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and before the shattered body could land, it turned into a light blue crystal. Fall to the ground.
This thing is the Frost Core, a very inferior alternative mana crystal, but barely a renewable resource - if only when Brando first arrived in Tonigal. Such a substitute was still a precious asset to him, but it was a shame - he didn't even look at the falls, and slaughtered them like a whirlwind into the frost demon. For a moment, it was as if there were four or five Brandos on the battlefield at the same time.
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, Nimesis spent a lot of body, and she pushed away with all her strength to finally kill the frost, causing the corpse to fall to the ground with a thud, shattered into thousands of pieces, and then leaned on her sword. It looks very laborious.
Brando turned his head and looked at the female knight who was blushing, and laughed, "You've regressed a lot, too." ”
"Don't compare me to her, I'm not her." Nimesis let out a soft breath and raised her head to glare at him hatefully.
Brando smiled faintly. He also knows. Nimesis is not a white senior sister, but they seem to influence each other, and from her, he can always see the shadow of the senior sister from the details. He now finally knew why, in addition to her appearance, she always gave him a kind of affection.
Maybe it's because of this feeling. It is difficult for him to harbor a bad feeling for the other person, and even has 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
