Outside the window, the snow was falling.

On the table are two identical sketches, with intricate geometric figures, which are Cicero's unfinished work, absolute zero.

This is a third-level totem and the pinnacle of Cicero's work to date.

According to Cicero, the effect of this totem is also amazing: once the power of the totem is activated, any physical attack can add freezing damage, causing negative states such as sluggishness, frost, and freezing.

Just imagine, when you encounter an opponent of the same level, because you are equipped with Absolute Zero, your attacks are very likely to freeze the opponent instantly, how terrifying is this?

Newn stared at the sketch in front of him for a long, long time, in fact, he had been observing for three days and three nights, and finally spied a little way, and now, he gritted his teeth, took out a blank piece of paper, picked up the pen, and began to copy.

Lin Yang sat aside, still staring at the sketch, bowing his head in contemplation.

The task that Cicero gave to Lin Yang was much more difficult than that of Nunn, not to copy it, but to try to complete it.

A few hours later.

Freed from the high tension, Newn let out a long sigh, his forehead was already covered with fine Xiaoice flowers condensed by cold sweat, and his fingers holding the pen were almost completely paralyzed.

Overjoyed, he hurried out the door and walked to Cicero, who was basking in the sun under the tree.

"Master." Handing Cicero the sketch he had copied, Newn smiled, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" ”

"Well done." Cicero looked at the sketch, and there was still a hint of regret in his expression: "It's a pity that it's still only a half-finished product." How did Lin Yang's kid finish? ”

"I haven't started writing yet." Newn said lightly.

"Hey, after all, he has just started, this task is indeed a bit difficult for him, you go in and tell him, if you really can't give up, just copy a sketch."

"Yes." Newn turned and walked into the cabin, his face full of spirit.

"Don't persuade me." Lin Yang was still staring at the sketch intently: "I have to finish it." ”

This is the truth, Newn observed the sketch for three days and three nights in order to copy, while Lin Yang was even more outrageous, he had been staring at the sketch for a week, basically staying in the Snow Mountain every day, and he almost forgot to go back to the academy. In the past few months, this is also the first time in the past few months that he has disrupted the scheduled schedule.

"To be a man, you must learn to retreat from difficulties." Newn raised an eyebrow.

"It's a pity that the only thing in my life dictionary is to move forward." Lin Yang smiled.

……

A few more days passed.

One night, when the moon was bright and the snowstorm was still raging on the snowy mountain, Lin Yang rushed out of the hut, stood on a huge rock on the top of the mountain, and yelled at the sky.

Absolute Zero did stump him, and he was driven insane.

Suddenly, a pitch-black jackdaw braved the blizzard, went upwind and streaked across the sky, and the sound of crying came from afar, like a pitch-black lightning.

Lin Yang's heart suddenly flashed with inspiration!

He immediately activated the afterimage footwork, rushed into the hut like lightning, picked up his pen, and drew the first strokes towards the sketch......

This time, Lin Yang seemed to be completely immersed in the world of the Sage Totem, and he didn't think about it, and worked intensively for two days and two nights.

Two days later, when Lin Yang finished drawing the last stroke, he finally couldn't support it, his eyes went black, and he fell down with a bang.

Hearing the commotion, Cicero and Newne burst into the house.

Cicero first looked at Lin Yang who was unconscious, and then his eyes were quickly attracted by a certain drawing on the table, and he could no longer take his eyes off.

"This is ......" Cicero stretched out his hand, picked up the drawing tremblingly, and said almost incredibly: "My God, I can't believe it!" He really did it! I really didn't look away, this kid is indeed a genius! ”

Newn, on the side, was angry, his eyes were on fire, his fists were clenched, and his nails were almost digging deep into his flesh.

……

When he woke up again, Lin Yang was already in his luxury apartment.

Lucy sat on the edge of the bed, taking care of him, holding a wet towel in her hand, and carefully wiping his face.

Lin Yang grabbed her white and slender wrist and said with a smile: "Will you let me eat you this time?" ”

"You know color!" Lucy pouted and said angrily: "If you don't have a good class, what kind of bullshit sage totem will you lose your life, do you know that you have been in a coma for a few days and nights, and how many people are worried about you during this period?!" ”

"Oh?" Lin Yang was slightly surprised: "There are still people in the academy who care about me now?" ”

"Do you think you live in the wilderness, or are you alone?" Lucy asked rhetorically, looking even more angry: "Not to mention, Sarah, Osinger, Jones, the three of them are also close disciples of the dean, and they have all come to see you several times on the way, and the Cicero tutor, as well as our dean, also came to visit you once during the period, do you know, because of you, I haven't been to class for a few days, and I serve you here every day, and you still say that no one cares about you?" ”

"Uh......" Lin Yang was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. But one thing he still knows very well, if it weren't for the fact that he had completed the sketch of absolute zero, these people would not have come to see him, to put it bluntly, or strength proves everything, the higher the value, the more valued he is.

"Has Newn ever come to see me?" Lin Yang asked suddenly.

"Nope." Lucy shook her head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Lin Yang smiled: "I just have a feeling that this guy's hostility towards me is getting stronger and stronger." ”

"What? Did you mess with him? ”

"I'm not a hedgehog, so I'm okay to mess with anyone?"

"Then how could he be hostile to you for no reason?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Lin Yang spread his hands and said helplessly.

……

At night.

Due to the completion of the absolute zero sketch, Cicero was full of hope and praise for Lin Yang, and at the same time the requirements were getting higher and higher, after a day of research on the snowy mountain, physically and mentally exhausted, Lin Yang walked along the mountain path, slowly walked into the Icewind Valley, and strolled through the dark and deep streets.

Looking up, the huge figure of Jackdaw Castle lies at the end of Icewind Dale, and it has been responsible for guarding Icewind Dale for millions of years.

Lin Yang turned around and walked into a dark alley.

In the darkness, a black shadow was like a water snake, slowly wriggling on the wall, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at all.

Suddenly, this black shadow moved, turned into a ray of black light, like a wolf and a tiger, and suddenly pounced on Lin Yang, and a strange-shaped weapon in the shape of an awl in his hand pierced Lin Yang's heart!

The awl flashed with a strange light, and it was not difficult to see that it had extremely strong demon-breaking attributes, and the general defensive magic was not vulnerable at all.

Lin Yang's footsteps moved slightly, the afterimage footwork was activated, faster than the other party, and in an instant he had already come to the back of the black shadow, his left hand stretched out, like an iron fist, the black shadow showed a frightened look, and wanted to dodge, but he was still firmly clasped by Lin Yang's shoulder. At the same time, the twin daggers also flashed in the cuff of Lin Yang's right hand, and the tip of the blade pressed against the back of the black shadow.

"It's a mage killer." Lin Yang sneered: "But you didn't expect it, in addition to being a mage, I am also a priest, a shadow warrior, a shapeshifter, and a thief, and I have all five professions. Now, to answer my question, who sent you? ”

"I'm only responsible for killing!" The dark shadow screamed.

"Okay, I'm not afraid you won't say it." Lin Yang was ready to torture the other party.

Several streaks of green light erupted from the shadow's body.

"Damn, you'd rather blow yourself up!" Lin Yang was taken aback and hurriedly retreated.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the black shadow's entire body suddenly burst open, and the ground, left and right walls, were sprinkled with a thick green liquid, and bubbles were tumbling, and these liquids were undoubtedly highly poisonous.

Then, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the depths of the alley, and two identical black shadows slowly walked towards this side.

Lin Yang turned his head, and there were also three black shadows behind him, outflanking him.

These five people, all in black robes, black scarves and masks, have deep-set eye sockets, and are extremely terrifying.

"You've got a lot to prepare." Lin Yang couldn't help but spread his hands.

"Surrender, I can consider giving you a happy end." A dark shadow said, "You can't handle the five of us at once, this is your last chance, or we'll let you die a miserable death." ”

"Oh? So what if I don't think you can kill me? With a sneer, Lin Yang raised his left and right hands at the same time, a fine ice pick appeared in the palm of his left hand, and several palm-sized suspended fireballs appeared in the palm of his right hand.

"Then you are waiting to be tortured to death in hell!" Before the words fell, the five mage killers had already rushed up.

The Mage Killer, strictly speaking, has the same roots as the thief, and can be counted as an advanced class of the thief.

It's just that this profession is designed to deal with mages from the beginning of training, and its own magic resistance is quite high, and it is immune to many magics, and the weapons used have amazing demon-breaking attributes.

Therefore, several mage killers join forces, even if it is a mage of the Holy Domain or the legendary level, one negligence may die of hatred.

Of course, Lin Yang is obviously not this kind of person.

Lin Yang raised his right hand, and several palm-sized mini fireballs spun wildly, dividing into several different directions, showing radioactivity, and shooting towards the five people.

The left hand was also raised instantly, and countless fine ice picks stabbed at these fireballs, only to hear a few violent explosions, and the power of ice and fire forcibly fused together, releasing the power of geometric multiples.

The five of them were more or less injured, but they were not fatal, although their clothes were torn and bleeding in many places, they still jumped high and threw themselves down towards Lin Yang.

"It's just a lottery just now, and now it's dinner!"

Lin Yang let out a loud shout, his hands clenched weakly, and the ice ring on his fingertips flashed, condensing into an ice long sword.

"Death Spin Down!"

Wielding the Ice Long Sword, Lin Yang stepped on the spot, and there was a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation, like a whirlwind, and the five mage killers were suddenly swept into the sky, and in the screams, the chest and abdomen were all slashed, and terrifying wounds appeared, and blood and internal organs gushed out wildly.

At this time, at the top of the high wall, a figure suddenly flew down, and on the head and feet, the cold light glittered awl, stabbing straight down towards Lin Yang's Heavenly Spirit Gai!

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!

The other party's speed was simply too fast, and it was so unexpected, Lin Yang had no time to dodge!

The awl was getting closer and closer to the top of his head, and no one expected that at this time, Lin Yang actually closed his eyes and silently recited a few magic characters in his mouth. And above his head, a light blue magic shield suddenly appeared, layer after layer, layer upon layer, a full eighteen layers of magic protection!

Instantly drain your own magic power and release a large number of spells like a wild bombardment, this is a trick that anyone can learn, as long as you practice diligently.

However, usually others are used to attack, and few people will be so heavily defensive.

The spike touches the first layer of magical protection.

"Poof!"

The magic shield shattered in an instant.

Then, more than a dozen layers of magic protection, in front of the sharp cone with strong demon-breaking attributes, melted like ice and snow, more accurately described, like a pen piercing more than a dozen layers of paper!

Even so, the speed of the cone stabbing down was still sluggish for a few seconds, and these few seconds were enough to make the battle circle change in an instant.

In the end, the sharp cone accurately pierced the top of Lin Yang's head, but the figure was obviously stunned, fooled, this is just an afterimage!

"Let your subordinates be sent to their deaths, and finally deliver a fatal blow yourself, although I admire your mind, but I dare not agree with your approach." Lin Yang instantly appeared behind this figure, firmly restrained the other party, and said with a smile.

"The price he offered is enough to satisfy me, what is the death of a few subordinates!" A crisp and beautiful female voice spat out from the mouth of this figure.

"I'm curious to know, who is it that made you kill me?" Lin Yang continued to ask.

Of course, he knew that there was little hope for the other party to say it, there were many such assassination organizations in the underground world, and one of the most basic rules was that no matter how successful or failed the mission, no matter what kind of pain he suffered, he could not name the client.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

A few applause came from the depths of the dark and deep alley, and then a black shadow walked slowly towards Lin Yang, and said with a smile: "It seems that I still underestimated you too much, and I didn't even kill you with Blood Rose." ”

"Your name is Blood Rose, and that's a good name." After saying that, Lin Yang raised his head and looked at the figure that came out of the depths of the darkness: "Nunn, I knew it was you." ”

"Now that you know, I can't keep you." Newn walked out of the darkness, the moonlight pouring down, he rolled up his sleeves, reached into his arms, and prepared to pull something out.

"I warn you not to do stupid things." Lin Yang stared at him coldly.

"I've done all the stupid things, can I still regret it?" Newn sneered: "Get rid of you tonight, Cicero will only have one disciple left, as long as you are there for a day, I will not be able to raise my head for a day, and I will be suppressed by you forever." ”

"I didn't mean to suppress you."

"But your talent almost takes my breath away."

Lin Yang finally let out a long sigh and said, "Nunn, do you know what the facts are now?" Let's put it this way, I have more than a hundred ways to kill you, but I have no grievances with you, so there is no need to deal with you. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can really kill me, but the dean and Cicero will never keep you anymore, you will be kicked out of the academy, originally your future is bright, even if it is not as good as me, after graduation, it will still be the object of competition among major families, and if you insist on doing stupid things, your future will be ruined because of a momentary impulse, and you will be annoyed for life. ”

Newn was stunned, this is the truth.

"It's late! As long as I can kill you, I don't know it, just like you suddenly disappeared three years ago, no one will doubt me! Nunn was ready to rush up.

"Okay, then I'll show you something." As he spoke, Lin Yang took out the Earth Bow: "The duel between me and Ransen three years ago, I'm afraid few people know about it now, and even this weapon has been forgotten by people. Now, the bow of the earth can be fired three times, and the power of each arrow can sweep the entire snowy mountain peak, what do you think you have to rely on to kill me? High-tier spell scrolls? Legendary weapons? Or use your mouth to bite me to death? ”

Newn and Bloodrose were shocked at the same time.

Artifacts, weapons that the gods have used before, weapons that even the Sixteen Giants may not have.

It is impossible to say that these two people are not greedy in their hearts, but everyone understands that in the face of death, no matter how big ** and attractiveness are, it is not worth mentioning.

Newn looked down and sighed, but finally gave up, and made an indescribable sound, like a laugh, like a cry, and then disappeared into the darkness again, and walked away quickly, a howling voice coming from far away from the depths of the alley: "God! Since you asked Nuen to come to this world, why did you want to make a Lin Yang? It's not fair, I hate you! ”

Lin Yang was slightly surprised, he suddenly remembered a sentence: If you are born of Yu, why is it born?

Maybe that's how Newn is feeling at the moment.

Putting away the bow of the earth, Lin Yang looked at the Blood Rose.

This woman is a huge trouble, she already knows that she has an artifact, and once it spreads, it will be very unfavorable to Lin Yang. Of course, it is more likely that she will gather her subordinates again, and when the time comes, she will give Lin Yang a big "surprise", and then it will not be as simple as a few mage killers, maybe Lin Yang passed by Icewind Valley one day and suddenly found that there were hundreds of mage killers waiting for him.

"I guess you're not going to kill me." Blood Rose suddenly chuckled.

"Why do you think so?" Lin Yang asked.

"You little boys who studied at Jackdaw Castle are all noble-borns, self-proclaimed gentlemen, and have a little chivalry, and it has almost become customary not to kill women and children. What's more......" Blood Rose chuckled, took off her scarf, and showed a stunning face: "What's more, I'm still so beautiful, I think I'll be of some use to you." ”

"It's a pity you're wrong, I'm not an aristocratic class." As he spoke, Lin Yang kissed the other party's lips.

"Farewell, Bloodbriar." The twin daggers slashed lightly across her neck.

"You ......" Blood Rose covered her neck, blood splashing out, she took two steps back, and finally fell weakly.

……

In the next few days, Lin Yang was still not very reassured.

After all, Nunn also knew that he had an artifact, as long as this guy went out and talked nonsense, some people would deal with Lin Yang.

It turned out afterwards that Lin Yang was obviously overly worried, Nunn may have really figured it out, there is no benefit to dealing with Lin Yang, improving his totem master level is the king's way, not only did he never trouble Lin Yang again, but sometimes he would take the initiative to discuss the problem of the Sage Totem.

The relationship between the two seems to have changed from hostility to friends in an instant.

This made Lin Yang suddenly a little overwhelmed, and secretly sighed in his heart: "The human heart is really the fastest changing thing, even the greatest philosophers can't figure it out." ”

Of course, there is one sentence that is clearly more applicable.

Winston Churchill once said: There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.
