Chapter Seventy-One: Melting Ice
The small valleys under the glaciers are dotted with hot springs and snow and ice, and the barbarians live in caves and simple huts built against stone walls and ice. Thomas glanced left and right, and saw that there were other tribal symbols besides the deer head ornament.
Men and women, young and old, all the barbarians who saw Mina saluted respectfully, and the paladins did not tire of replying. Tired of politeness, Thomas felt that it was this attitude that gave her the upper hand in the intra-church struggle.
Several gray-haired barbarians looked at the Ranger in amazement, puzzled that the venerable white-horned knight would actually take a male servant.
"I was thinking, you're too easy to show mercy. Let the people of the bear tribe in, what if they are in harmony with the outside inside?"
"That's why you call it 'raising a tiger for trouble,'" using an idiom, the smug Mina played with her hair: "Forget about the cat, although I also think that the god of war of the Aztec belief is evil, but I have not actually visited the New World myself, so I can't easily draw conclusions." Although she didn't listen to you much a few years ago, now that you see you, it seems that you are closer than then? β
"I think Baihua is just afraid of losing me again, so he keeps staring at me. She herself is still lazy and loose, like most of us in the church......"
For the minions slandering themselves, Baihua should not have heard it. Human expressions and language are meaningless ways of communicating and full of hypocritical words.
She flicked her tail impatiently because the daring minions repeatedly dissuaded her from jumping into the water and swimming in the psychic link.
Although the armor crystals and the ability to endure the environment allow her to get out of the water without hypothermia, Dasha Cat clearly does not want other men to see her body after being wet. Considering the fact that the male lion will kill the cubs that do not belong to him after taking possession of a group of lionesses, Baihua decided not to violate this forbidden area for the tomcat. After all, the Ninja Course specifically points out that samurai and nobles are arrogant and stupid, and a wise ninja should know this.
Looking at the unicorn's shiny silver-white mane, Thomas just stretched out his hand, Mina snorted without looking back: "Don't touch her with the hand you have touched the cat and the evil female mage!"
He withdrew his hand sloppily, his attention shifting to her long, silver hair tied in a ponytail, fingers twitching. Because she has not dyed her hair in the wild for a long time, Mina's hair roots have revealed their original color.
"Stupid, before you know it, Swain and I have developed an incredibly deep bond!
Reindeer have a better heart than a human, and unicorns are even more so. The unicorn he had maliciously renamed Swain affectionately rubbed his tail against him: "Swain doesn't have the smell of that evil spellcaster, I can testify to it - only the mark left by the cat." β
Thomas smiled smugly, as if he had successfully cuckolded Mina: "The next target is the swan!"
Mina, who was walking in front, didn't see it, she nodded slightly, and her tone softened slightly: "I don't want to go with this cat if I canβalthough it's much better than the female mage." But since it's your important subordinates and concubines, there's no way around it. After all, she's strong enough to injure the Slayer Incarnate, and if you can discipline her, she should be able to help us fight the Ice Witch. β
As she spoke, she moved away from Baihua. This is already the maximum amount of kindness, after all, as soon as the paladin and the evil man get closer, both sides will feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Hyakka glanced at Mina disdainfully, and the cat ninja was busy snorting and snorting with the unicorn. They communicate in the common language of ears and tails, expressing their wariness and disdain to each other.
As the ancestor of the regional attack, Liu Zongyuan, said, the tiger is always cautious before finding out the details of the opponent. Baihua believes that even a stupid cat can finally see the true face of the white donkey, and then smash its skull and bite its throat with one palm.
The crowd around her made her feel uncomfortable, and Baihua switched her martial arts stance from a class cat frame that was good at sneak attacks to a clouded leopard structure that was used for climbing. Jumping on a stone wall, claws scratching at ice stones, cat ninjas swing on cliffs, jumping, climbing, walking, and running to the heights.
"Before we came in, we saw what was supposed to be a tent of the Bear Tribe, and we also found the footprints of goblins and giants...... But didn't you see the Ice Witch that the barbarian named Hegel said before?"
"Actually, there were many undead creatures before, and you can see from the sky that their ranks came from the south, and they were basically cut off after you defeated Kaisso. As for that ice witch...... I didn't see it even if it was you. Mina sighed, "The ones I put in are all detected and untainted by the black ice, but most of the people in the bear tribe are already wearing and using the black ice equipment. Their chiefs and shamans, in particular, are like the sophisticated black ice armor and weapons crafted using dwarven craftsmanship. β
"It was probably built and sold from the Hammerstone of the Dwarven Valley, and after defeating Kaisso, he told us that Kaisso's goal for him was to build and sell more Black Ice equipment. The black ice equipment is very powerful, are you okay? β
Mina didn't care, "Oh, it's a little hard. However, they lost their minds and stood in the open space to challenge me, and I shot them to death. β
Based on experience and Cortana's stats, the Barbarian Bosses in Icewind Dale and the Northlands should be around level 7 to 10. However, Mina's tone was extremely understated, which showed that no matter how strong her physique was, she was still vulnerable to the evil breaking charge of the combination of horsepower and human power and holy power.
"The Ice Witch is supposed to be there, and the barbarians are still fighting frantically after losing their leader. And if there is no one behind them, it is unlikely that there will be goblins and giants working together. She paused: "It's even more unlikely that there will be ice deaths." β
"Ice Death, is it really that white dragon? Could it be that someone who worships the Dragon Sect has turned it into a dragon lich?"
"Not really, although it looks like it, and I still have an ice pick on my back...... But each kill turns into a pile of ice and snow. β
"Every time...... It sounds like a mage's simulacrum spell, but it is said that it takes a lot of one's own soul or valuable consumables to cast it, so how can it be many times?"
"Because the ice death may be an imitation, I believe that there is a powerful spellcaster behind the enemy, and he can even use this high-ring spell to create consumables!"
Thomas agrees with Mina's judgment.
"Or maybe he sacrificed many people, or tortured to cause suffering, so as to avoid the loss of his soul power?"
"I don't understand," Mina honestly admitted her inadequacy, "I don't want to know anything about the evil spellcaster at all, after all, I'm not a star ranger." β
Finding a safer cave, Mina smiled and asked the barbarians and unicorns to guard the door. Thomas sighed silently as he watched the tall and burly barbarian nod at the dwarf paladin and pat his chest with honor on his face.
"I'm afraid that the world knows that there is Mina, a nine-thousand-year-old woman, more than anyone who knows the unicorn goddess!"
This is not a high achievement, but the due effect of her continuous activities for hundreds of years. Mina's prestige is high and widespread, while the conservative powerhouses are all living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and their mobility is not at the same level as Mina's.
Thomas had seen hundreds of priestesses who believed in the Holy Unicorn, but it was a pity that all of them were chaste. If it's just that, forget it, no one else will be able to eat it anyway. But their "sister" can't change one day at a time, which is very intolerable.
It is necessary to break the blind personality cult of Mina and establish a new majestic image in the minds of those girls!
However, the principle that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest still has to be observed. Mina, in particular, must not be pushed. Although a few days after they met, Thomas had made up for Mina to cry and die in various positions, but considering that it might cause her to die of old age, it was always delusional.
Now he is honestly sitting cross-legged on the ground and has started a new brain supplement. Mina sprinkled the diamond dust that could be converted into RMB tens of thousands on him, and picked up the holy emblem to attract positive energy.
The diamond powder suddenly shines and burns, and under the action of the paladin's divine magic, it turns into positive energy and warm vitality, which penetrates into the body bit by bit, neutralizing and expelling the negative energy of yin and cold.
"Ah, I feel like the wall is hitting too much. β
Thomas moved his muscles, and in a good mood, he decisively began to die again.
"Put it down!" Mina, who was lifted high, made a fierce gesture in the air, and she didn't dare to shout loudly to avoid being seen by the barbarians and losing face: "Otherwise, I will immediately make your height the same as mine!"
Her way to change other people's heights is naturally to punch her in the stomach, but unfortunately even her short legs can't reach it with a wild kick.
But Thomas didn't dare to be complacent for too long, and quickly withdrew his hand before Mina pressed the numb tendon on his arm.
"Hmph, hmph," Mina sneered angrily, "It seems that you don't want this thing anymore?"
She pulled out a unicorn emblem that was different from both the Unicorn Goddess and the Mericay Emblem.
"Amuro's body sign, what do I want this for?" said the ranger confusedly, already having an ominous premonition.
"Shoot the stars, the goddess has put me in charge to test you. She put away the evidence of the star shooting and walked with her back hand: "Comrade Mosad, your recent performance has been very inactive! The organization originally had great expectations for you, don't let everyone down!"
"Sister, you are my own sister!" Thomas smiled spinelessly.
Mina hurriedly shook her hand: "Don't call me by that name! β
"That'...... My dear, sweetheart?" Thomas habitually laughed, and found that Mina was visibly disgusted and bored: "Comrade Mina, I am a loyal fighter of the church and the people, and I will overcome any difficulties even if I am told!"
"Even if you were asked to bring the head of the female mage outside now, you wouldn't do it. Mina said a little helplessly: "So my standard is that there is no standard, this is a long-term investigation of you." β
Her expression was flat, and Thomas's legs were weak and he almost wanted to kneel: "You are the audit standard of the Hades Palace......!
"It's up to you to be truly loyal. β
