The Winter Festival is a very pleasant day, but the festival always has to pass.

A week later, the excitement of the winter festival gradually faded away. It's still cold, and those who should be resting are still resting, but more are getting to work.

Ji Ran and the others have almost rested enough.

However, on such a cold and freezing day, if you go out on an adventure, the harvest and the effort are a little disproportionate. Of course, there are also many places where there are magical beasts that only haunt in winter, and they are also valuable after hunting. But not everyone likes to go out hunting at this time of year - they can go hunting in other seasons just as much, and the harvest is even greater. Even if the quality is poor, what about the quantity to make up for it? Why go out and risk it in the winter?

You know, in winter, the environment in those wilderness is much harsher.

Therefore, everyone still plans to continue their adventure after the beginning of spring, that is, the journey to improve their strength.

But before that, there are a few things to do.

For example, help Lydia break through the Silver Tier.

The way mages and warriors break through is a little different, but they are generally the same. It's just that when constructing the formation, some changes have to be made.

The headache is that she needs to find a place rich in magical energy to help Lydia break through.

In the academy, there will be an area rich in artificial magical energy to help students break through. However, the effect of the formation provided by the academy is average, and the materials still need to be paid by the students themselves, although it is relatively low, but the overall effect is always worse. Since it has been decided to use Ji Ran's way to help Lydia break through, it is natural that she can't choose the academy's side.

Luckily, it's winter. And it's a snowy winter.

Lydia in the water system - to be exact. It's ice magic. He has quite a talent for outstanding talents. She has learned all the attributes of magic, but only the ice spell is the most handy and powerful for her.

When making a breakthrough, if you can strengthen this aspect, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will also be of great benefit to her future development.

In winter, it is not difficult to find a temporary place where snow and ice energy gathers.

A group of people all went out. I searched for two days in the mountains and rivers outside Perth, and I found one like this.

It was a small col, and because of the wind, the snow in it was twice as high as the rest of the place. The magical energy brought by the snow and ice gathers here, making the temperature here much cooler than in other places. According to other people around me, the snow and ice in this place melt much later than in other places - the vegetation in other places is green, and there is still snow left here.

This kind of place is used to set up a magic circle for Lydia to break through. It couldn't be better. And this place is usually not crowded with people, and it is quiet enough. Won't cause other trouble.

Just do what you say. Ji Ran and the others immediately went deep into the col and cleared a small open space - enough for Ji Ran to arrange the magic array. There is no need to remove the snow layer that is more than one person high around it, this thing can gather ice and snow magic energy.

After Ji Ran's arrangement, the ice and snow energy condensed in this place was much stronger than the promotion ceremony in the academy, and it was not even worse than the black crystal vein.

Lydia had been preparing for promotion for a long time, but when it was time to be really ready for promotion, she was inevitably a little nervous.

If you become a silver rank, it will be very different from the previous bronze rank. There are many young people in remote areas who have a dream of becoming a strong man, and there are also many who leave their hometowns to wander around in order to chase their dreams. But the vast majority of them could only cultivate the strength of the bronze rank...... Talent and opportunity, both of which are available but not sought.

If it was just a bronze step, Lydia thought that she would not have the face to go back to her hometown. Running away from home is bound to take a toll on your parents and siblings...... Although they left a letter for themselves, they will definitely still worry about themselves. If he was just a bronze magician, how could he have the face to go back? At least he has become a silver rank, and in his hometown, he can already be regarded as a well-known powerhouse...... At that time, I will consider going back to visit my parents.

What is in front of you is the one who can decide your own fate, the silver promotion ceremony!

Big Brother Ban had told himself that using this promotion magic array would make him a little painful. But as long as you grit your teeth and get through, the gains are also huge. I'm sure I'll be able to survive that pain! Why did you leave your hometown? You must not fall down at this step!

So, with a determined look in her eyes, Lydia stepped into the circle and sat down cross-legged.

Ji Ran looked at Lydia from the side, then took a deep breath and launched the magic circle. The materials used to arrange the circle were the same, and the magic energy began to converge in the surrounding area - even raising the snow layer around it!

But the circle itself has protections to prevent some foreign objects from invading. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lydia would be buried in this thick snow now. And now, the snow around her has piled up on top of Lydia's head, but it is blocked in mid-air due to the power of the formation, which looks quite strange.

"Erin, you and Alice are here to help check on the situation, and we'll go around patrolling." Ji Ran instructed Erin. This was also predetermined, and the others were to go around and keep watch. Although it is not well traveled, if someone suddenly appears and disturbs Lydia's promotion, the consequences can be quite severe.

Erin nodded that it was okay and sent Warlot to patrol the air. Others spread out and stood at the top of the col to prevent uninvited visitors.

Fortunately, in this icy and snowy place, it is clear that no one wants to come here to play. And there can't be any too powerful monsters near Perth - they have long been expelled by the city garrison. And now it's winter again, and even the weak monsters don't want to come.

Those weak monsters are either hibernating, or they are struggling to find food. It's not a good place to forage here, and naturally there won't be any magical beasts that are boring to look for.

Inside the col, all kinds of lights shine alternately, and there are many snowflakes flying. The temperature in the col plummeted, as if the air was about to freeze. Erin and Alice stood together, wearing a thick leather coat and leather armor made of gold-level demonic beast skin, but they were not afraid of the cold.

Lydia's expression was very worrying now, her brows were furrowed, her head was covered in sweat, and her body was still trembling slightly. It can be seen that she endured great pain...... This is the same as the situation in the original class, except that the class seems to have more endurance.

As a magician, Lydia is quite good at being able to do this.

Countless snowflakes began to fly around Lydia, and ice began to appear on the ground around her—and even countless ice edges gradually appeared, pointing straight up to the sky, slowly lengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye. One can imagine how concentrated the ice and snow energy is around Lydia now......

The others, though in the distance, would turn their heads from time to time to look at Lydia. In everyone's minds, Lydia is the little sister who is cared for by everyone. Now that this little sister is falling into the first serious test of her life, who wouldn't be worried?

It's just that it's useless for them to worry about it now. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and they can't help with the current things...... Lydia had to carry it alone.

Originally, it was silent and windless, but gradually, a light breeze began to appear in the col. The breeze grew stronger and stronger, and finally even a small whirlwind formed. The whirlwind spread more and more widely, and eventually, even the entire col was included!

"Look at this movement, it's much more ...... than when I first broke through," Ben sighed and said to Baker, who was not far from him. In fact, there is Hualuo's sentry in the sky, and the patrol of other people is not too useful, just to be able to go over and check as soon as there is an emergency.

"You at least have to break through...... I don't know what to do with my words yet. Baker also looked inside the col with a look of envy on his face.

"Don't worry, Ji Ran said that you can try to lift the curse on your body, then I think you are at least seventy or eighty percent sure. You know, Ji Ran never takes anything lightly. Once he says it, then it's basically about the same. ”

When Baker heard Ben's words, his expression also moved a few times: "I know it too, but I am inevitably still a little worried...... But seeing this now, I don't have to worry about it. Speaking of which, Ji Ran is really our lucky star...... From Uncle Rice to Lydia, as well as you and Erin, all of them are running from time to time, and their strength has increased a lot! If I hadn't been so unlucky to be cursed by that true god, I'm afraid I'd be a silver rank now......"

"It's not far away! Okay, don't complain, your talent is much stronger than mine, and you will definitely surpass me in the future. For now, let's take a good look around and don't let anything happen. ”

Baker also knew that what his eldest brother said was the truth, so he just smiled and continued to look around.

Then, at this time, the wind and snow in the col suddenly became heavier, and it exploded all at once!

With Lydia as the center, countless snowflakes rushed in all directions with the whirlwind. As if there had been an explosion, the originally smooth snow surface instantly became potholed and messy.

And in the center of the explosion, a clearing appeared. In the center, the formation arranged by Ji Ran was already in pieces and almost completely destroyed. And Lydia in the center is now surrounded by ice crystals and snowflakes, making her look otherworldly, like an ice and snow elf.

Lydia opened her eyes and let out a breath. The air in front of her suddenly froze into a strip of ice, and then joined the ice and snow that surrounded Lydia.

Whoever it is, can see that Lydia has been successfully promoted.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary success...... (To be continued......)
