Chapter 104: The Nightmare of Ice
Olivia was not originally from Orlan, she was a merchant of the Kingdom of Rodnan, a small country in the Seven Kingdoms of the Far North, and had come here to learn alchemy.
As an international student, she didn't have any belongings, her luggage was simple and outrageous, she threw those medicines into her carry-on space equipment, brought notes and books, refunded the rent of the small shop, threw the keys back to the landlord, turned around and left.
By the way, the Principality of Donglan is also one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Far North, and dividing half of the territory of the Seven Kingdoms is the original Arashi Country, but this is almost a merger of two countries and dividing the other two countries into a part of the territory, which is basically unrealistic under the existing conditions.
Olivia was still quite happy to be able to leave this country under the alchemy master as a teacher, after all, in the eyes of other countries, most of the people in the far north were savages with fur, although it was indeed very happy that there was no half of the ice and snow in a year, and she had encountered a lot of troubles in the course of studying over the years.
"Miracle Alchemist" Olivia got it, and when she found the "Magic Master" Timirette, she encountered a little trouble, but this kind of trouble was not the first time.
It was about seventeen or eighteen years after Timiret became famous, and now Timiret ....... Well, when I saw this bear child with a snot in tow, I was not surprised at all, at least, it was I who I found, and it was much stronger than the ancestor who found the fertilized egg and the ancestor of the historical hero last time.
But when it came to convincing the parents of the children, they ran into a little trouble.
Timiret has only one sister who depends on her life, and when she returns, she finds that she is still an old acquaintance.
"Olivia, Catherine?"
"Reach ...... Mentor Dana! Why are you here. ”
"This is my home. I wonder why you're here. You're not all dropping out. What to do here. Looking for me? ”
Ms. Dana, who was in her early thirties with a nonchalant face. The face is beautiful but bitter, and the face is quite dignified, but when I see the flat curve, I think of the previous story about milk
"Poof!"
Okay, it's rude to laugh to your face, Renee, I'll sue Kelly when I get back, and you'll have to catch up on the etiquette lesson...... I laughed too? Well. At least I didn't squirt out, and I still had the basic courtesy to a lady.
"Hello, Mentor Dana, I am Catherine's Knight Mentor, I need a few alchemists here, and Catherine recommended you to me. It's a long-term job, and I'm afraid you'll lose your job at the academy, but it's definitely rewarding and there are opportunities for you to improve. This is the master alchemist, the Silver Hook. Beya, he's a gold-level great alchemist. You can talk to him."
Since Timiret and his sister are dependent on each other, it is definitely unrealistic to abduct the little hairy child alone. But as long as the mentor is hired, Timiret will naturally follow.
But surprisingly, hearing me say this, Dana's face lit up at first, and she seemed to be quite excited, but the next moment, she immediately became depressed again.
"I'm sorry, I do need a new job, but we're already planning to leave the city, so I'm afraid I can't accept your kindness."
"Get out? Why? ”
She refused to say it at first, but it was only after I hurriedly asked her that she explained why.
Actually, the reason is very simple, but I don't think the city is safe, so I plan to leave.
The reason for the insecurity is the behemoth that can be seen outside the window.
The Hydra Dragon Emperor's huge body occupies half of the river, and the lofty dragon head can be seen outside several urban areas, and the intermittent breath may not be painful for the whole city, but for the unlucky ones who were hit, it is absolutely broken.
This is not a hydra with some dragon bloodline in the swamp area, the sea monster Hydra left over from ancient times is a divine favor, and has already obtained some divine power, if you really want to give his bloodline ability a level, it will definitely not be much inferior to my double diamond bloodline, and when such a storage zài reaches the demigod level, the demigod of the same level of human beings is nothing in his eyes.
From the very beginning, this nine-headed dragon emperor was an almost invincible existence in the mortal world, and the overly powerful Hydra was also restricted, and the passive posture of responding to the battle was obvious, but if you took the initiative to provoke him, who could be blamed for looking for death.
This is equivalent to the beginning of a large-scale campaign game, a few super bosses come out to lecture, find old friends to fight, and angrily brush up on zài, but it's just a simple plot mode to go through the motions, as a rookie, you watch the movie and pass, if you think you can brush the boss alone, rush up and shout "evil is dead, I want to slay the dragon", who can blame if you are killed in seconds.
At least after understanding the strength of the other party, Dassos did not plan to fight hard, nor did he intend to completely anger the owner of the hydra, Ms. Storm, looking at his negative way of coping, seeing the application letters sent to the major churches, he was waiting for the gods of order to solve this trouble.
Of course, if the hydra goes ashore, I'm afraid that Dassos will also have a decisive battle to protect the country, then Hydra also obviously knows that he doesn't intend to expand the battle situation, so that this battle is deadlocked, but the sea clan under his command is even harder, except because there is a big guy in charge, more reasons, but it is an accident.
In order to decorate the façade, magic oil lamps have been added to the coastline along the river, and what is burned in it is the most high-end luxury in the human world, precious mermaid oil, and the mermaid itself has the reputation of the darling of the sea and the royal family of the sea clan, so when the mermaids of the beluga tribe see these oil lamps, what is the difference between seeing the ogre cooking human flesh pot, they will fight to the end, and the war will escalate directly.
Even if the Sea Clan can't rush to the solid protective layer and temporary barrier, but the Orlan Empire has lost a lot, the appearance of the nine-headed dragon led the dock area to sink into the river, and some citizens escaped in time, but some of them were unlucky to follow their houses directly into the river and never get up again.
"My uncle's family lives in the docklands, my boyfriend's house was hit by a dragon's breath, and the family is left with no bones, and we plan to leave this sad city."
There are not a few people who have recently left the city because of this, and Ms. Dana is just one of them, but her luck is really not good. It's only been two weeks since we dated. The new boyfriend suffered an inexplicable catastrophe.
This is mostly the case with wars on the continent. No matter who wins or loses, no matter how sacred and legitimate the reasons for war, it is the ordinary people who have no power to suffer first.
"That's great, oh, not to say that your loved ones are too good, sorry, ma'am, I lost my words. I mean, this job happens to be a foreign country. Since you're planning to leave the city, it might be just the right time for you. ”
"Really? I would like to hear more about it. ”
Well, since the other party is also planning to leave the city, this well-paid employment contract easily impresses Dana, who is worried about her future life.
And when the two future stars arrived, I couldn't help but fall into doubts.
"Now that I'm in their fate, will they still be so important? Can you still grow to the same height? ”
But after thinking about it, even if I didn't interfere, I'm afraid that the fate of the two would have already changed, and since this Sea Clan raid had made Timiret leave, whether he would become a master engineer in the future. There is no future cooperation between the two, and the magic mechanics may no longer be possible. And my meddling,
"Hawkers, think about what to do so much, at least both of them are obviously good seedlings, then, just keep a normal heart and train as a newcomer with excellent qualifications. Well, since Olivia introduced Silverhook, let's introduce Timilet Jr. to Goldfang. If there is the birth of that magic mechanical dragon in the future, it should be more of a goblin explosion style. ”――
In the ancient legends of the Far North, whenever the snow covers the mountain, the coldest days of the year, in the depths of the snow-capped mountains that no one can reach, it is the day when all kinds of demons and monsters in the snowy mountains come out to gather for a feast, and then the snow-capped mountain ghosts, snow monsters, snow girls, snowmen, etc.
And myths and legends often have archetypes, and the prototype of this legend is the Nightmare of Ice.
Nightmare, that is, nightmare, is an unknowable demon in nightmares, and the nightmare of ice is actually the collective name of the nameless monster from the Great Snow Mountain.
They are invisible monsters, but they are also tangible beings, they are like the aurora peculiar to the far north, varied and colorful, but when they get closer, they can't find anything.
Their legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and people in the far north will tell their children not to go to the snowy mountains on snowy days, until there is a person who does not believe in evil and wants to meet the nightmares in the snowy mountains on heavy snowy days.
He is the ancestor of the Arashi royal family, and no one knows what happened in the depths of the snow, but since then, this snow country has more Aurora Knights for the entire continent.
The use of the knight class has always been the backbone of the human race, because all kinds of mounts can make the originally fragile humans become stronger quickly, and the rookie who rides the griffin is also a third-order class, but the weakest Aurora Knight is the fourth-order, which is enough to prove the strength of the Icy Nightmare.
Icy Nightmare is a spirit creature, and his form is not fixed, and it is precisely because of this aurora's changing and uncertain form that it has a strong adaptability and growth.
The Nightmare of Ice will grow up with the young knights who have the same heart as themselves, and they will draw nourishment from the hearts of the knights, therefore, the contract beasts of each Aurora Knight are different, but most of the nightmare beasts will choose the form of the Snow Mountain Monster, such as snowmen, snow leopards, etc., of course, the most enviable thing is the Snow Girl, even if the combat power is quite weak, well, the reason will not be explained, men understand.
However, in order to facilitate group combat, the three forms of Ice Unicorn, Storm Eagle, and Arctic Armored Bear are compulsory courses for every nightmare beast larvae, and the Aurora Knight of the group charge can complete the conversion of flight raid, accelerated charge, and heavy armor hedge in just a few minutes, making it an out-and-out overlord in the snow.
As a top-level monster, Bing Night's intelligence is very high, the juvenile Ice Nightmare already has the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child, and the adult Ice Nightmare is simply smarter than humans, and many Aurora Knights of Snow Girl Form Nightmare Beasts are married for life, perhaps because they fell in love with their own contract Warcraft.
And because of the existence of the bloodline contract, the royal family of Lan is easy to be recognized by the Ice Night, and the children of the royal family in the past will basically have more Aurora Knights, and their reputation among the people is also extremely high, and in our generation, Cavins is the Aurora Knight, his Nightmare Beast can be transformed at will in the Ice Dragon and Ice Beamon, and it is usually an enviable Snow Girl form, which is both powerful and eye-catching, which is really enviable.
Well, speaking of which. You should have guessed it. The reason why the enviable Snow Girl has always been emphasized. It's because I don't have it myself, I'm not even an Aurora Knight.
The silver rank is the lowest starting point for this kind of arrogant ice monster to recognize, and I was a bronze rookie back then, and when I reached the standard of combat power, I was in a long-term war, and it was unrealistic to change the form of power at will, and I could only watch the lovely sisters around the knights with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. And by the time of the second and third generations, the Aurora Knight has become extinct on the mainland, and suddenly an identity that is equivalent to self-detonation has appeared, and I am not stupid enough to kill myself.
And now, my power system has been formed, and I have a plan for how to develop my psychology in the future, the power system is already miscellaneous enough, and then putting on a template of Aurora Knight will do more harm than good, so I can only watch Sister Snow Girl's envy and hatred.
Yes. Sister Snow Girl, there are only two people who have been recognized by Bing Wu during this time. One of them is a male knight named Elohim, his nightmare beast is usually in the form of a snowman, perhaps it should be called a snow orangutan, although it is surprisingly ugly, but it is indeed agile and powerful, and it is an extremely useful melee nightmare beast.
And he was recognized, in addition to the fact that the nightmare beast happened to be the ancestor's former companion, but also because he was the only gold-rank knight of the royal knight.
If you directly use the nightmare beast left by the ancestors, the advantage is that it saves a long training period, and the disadvantage is that the cooperation between the knight and the nightmare beast will inevitably have many problems, and you can't think of being so handy and mind-to-heart as you have cultivated since childhood.
Another newborn Aurora Knight,It's Renee who I pulled up with a golden finger.,She's just popularized the silver rank.,Those who don't admit it.,The proud mess of nightmare beasts took the initiative to find her to contract.,In the end,She ignored the highly recommended heavy ice boar、Snow giant,Choose a snow girl named Shiva.,But in fact,These heavy trolls,In order to improve her weak combat power and worrying survivability the fastest.。
"They are all so ugly, Sister Shiva is so beautiful and mature, she must have chosen her."
Well, should I say that she is worthy of being a princess, as soon as these words came out, the five big and three thick beasts were quite sad.
But at this time, I quite agree with this choice, because although the Snow Maiden form is extremely weak in melee combat, the power of ice and snow is one of the strongest, and condensing ice armor and ice weapons is the fastest, and at this time, what we need most is this ability.
With the help of Traxis, the Kraken, our group walked directly from the bottom of the river, and even if we happened to encounter the fish-man patrol, as an upper-level sea clan, she could easily repel those low-level fishmen.
But if you wear armor and bring heavy weapons, I'm afraid that even the mermaid will not be able to float, and in order to facilitate the movement all the way underwater, we all travel lightly.
And when they arrived at the underwater base, the huge snowman could only brush up his knights with a layer of armament and go to the side to prepare for battle, while Shiva prepared ice weapons for everyone.
【Ice Sword】
[Attack power: 10-12, if the user is Aurora Knight, the attack power is doubled, and the weapon quality is increased by one level.] The weapons are of excellent quality. 】
[Frost Blade: The blade's ice damage is inflicted with 5 ice damage.] 】
[Indestructible Ice: The Freezing Nightmare's Freezing Magic makes the Ice Sword far harder than steel, and you can use it to collide with Adamantite weapons with confidence.] 】
[Piercing Ice: Anyone who touches the Demon Sword directly with their skin will take 1 point/sec of Ice Damage.] If you wear a Winter Wolf Skin Glove that has been blessed by Ice Nightmare, you will be immune from this damage for half an hour. Aurora Knight simply ignores the damage. 】
And when everyone had the weapons at hand, the panting Shiva began to forge armor for me.
It was also the super heavy armor of the avalanche defender unique to Arashi no Kuni, and when this heavy armor was on the back, I gently tapped the huge shield attached to the armor, and I completely turned into a heavy fortress, becoming the most lacking meat shield at this time.
As for the ice damage that also comes with the ice armor, my Titan Talent has long since ignored this pitiful little bit per second.
The sound of sirens echoed through the base, and even the dull undead spotted us who were preparing, and as I watched the undead knights, zombies, and skeletons approach, I caressed the pale justice and ignited the holy flame on the tip of the sword.
"The undead, who should have returned to the tomb long ago, let me grant you eternal sleep and purification with the Holy Flame." After saying this standard paladin standing in front of the undead, I was inexplicably upset and muttered to myself.
、
"How can this be so unreasonable. Forget it, let's use that charge battle cry. O Light, that evil is worth fighting! (To be continued......)
