Chapter 24: The Frost Shield

"Yes, this terrible idea should indeed be abandoned. ”

The door of the room opened with a "squeak", and then Mikaela walked in with a tray full of deliciousness, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "The Scarlet Castle is at the core of the hinterland of the empire, not only is there 10,000 troops of the Knights of Light stationed in the south, but there are also at least 30,000 troops stationed in the other three directions, and if you escape, you will definitely be hunted down, under the tracking of the Patrol Eagle, the Scarlet Castle may even use the powerful Heavenly Knights to chase and kill you, let me ask, is it possible for you to escape?"

"Instructor Mikaela ......"

Avril and Lorain stood up together, like students who had made a mistake.

"Sit down. ”

With a soft smile on her face, Mikaela said, "None of you are the students who came to the Scarlet Cage of your own accord, so it is expected that you want to escape, but in this case, I hope this is the last time I will hear it, otherwise, I will hand you over to Instructor Haimu without mercy." ”

"What happened to those students who were caught and escaped?" asked Lorraine.

Mikara pursed her lips and said meaningfully: "If you have better talent and stronger strength, you will sign a master-servant contract and sell it to some nobles as a battle slave, and if you are weaker, there is no need to keep it, and you will find a place to execute it at will." ”

Avril bit her red lip and remained silent.

Luo Lan asked: "Instructor Mikala, the indiscriminate killing of innocents in the Scarlet Castle has already violated the laws of the Empire, and even violates the teachings of the Holy See of Light, don't the deacons of the Temple of the Goddess know?"

"No, they do. ”

"Now that you know, why would you let the Bright Sect come so nonsense?"

"It's simple. ”

Mikaela stepped forward, with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and looked at Luo Lan deeply, "Because if you don't do this, the empire won't be able to train enough strong people who can really resist the Northern Demon Beast Legion, what do you think you are doing in the blood cage?"

She bowed her head lightly and said: "Your current efforts and dedication are to make you one of the strongest in a hundred, and then selected to serve as an important officer in the upper echelons of the Knights of Light, and even directly lead the army to exterminate the demon beast army in the north, you all know that after the opening of the Sky Gate, there are more and more demon beasts outside the sky, which has threatened the survival of the human race, if we can't resist the demon beast army, then even if the imperial law is fair, so what?"

"So, you already know the truth?" said Loraine, frowning.

"Yes, I know everything. ”

Mikaela looked at Lorain indifferently and said, "I'm just doing my own thing, and besides, I know it's right, and I have no choice." ”

"Thank you, Instructor Mikaela, for your candor. ”

Luo Lan was silent until his stomach rumbled, his physical energy was seriously depleted, and it was time to eat, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and lowered his head.

Mikaela smiled slightly: "Luolan, no matter what kind of person you want to become in the future, whether you want to be a knight of light, a person who presides over justice, or even a powerful apocalypse, the premise of all this is that you are strong enough, otherwise, without the support of enough strength, no matter how nice it sounds, it is just empty words and delusions." ”

"Got it, instructor, thank you for the food. ”

"Well, eat it quickly, change the dressing tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes!"

Soon after, Avril and Mikara were gone, and Loren devoured all the food, then lay down on the bed, waiting for his body to recover, and soon fell asleep.

......

As the days passed, the weather gradually became cold, but the young students in the blood-colored cage still wore thin clothes to train and attend classes every day, and during this period of time, Luo Lan's injuries had already healed, and the daily training of the Hundred Refining Pagoda had also achieved remarkable results, and his strength was getting bigger and bigger, and the cultivation in the geothermal trial room had also completed a stage, and his comprehension of the power of the Flame Elemental Law had almost reached the level of following the Elemental Law.

And so, the weather grew colder and colder day by day, until winter came, and when the first snowflakes fell on the bloody castle, all the students were shivering with cold in a shirt.

In the courtyard wall, Instructor Haimu was still wearing a knight's armor, holding a broadsword, and looking straight at a group of students who got along day and night, only to see pieces of snowflakes falling from the sky, but wisps of snowflakes were lingering around Instructor Haimu's body, and they did not land, and even "sizzled" in the wind to precipitate wisps of frost energy, just wrapped around Instructor Haimu's body.

"Winter!"

Instructor Haimu exhaled a scorching breath and said, "It is the best opportunity to cultivate the law of frost, next, you have to cultivate the combat technique called the Frost Shield, which is a martial art that can only be completed by comprehending the power of the frost element, and the Frost Shield is also one of the compulsory martial arts of the intermediate knights of the entire Bright Knights, okay, Luo Lan, come up!"

"Yes!"

Luo Lan stepped forward with a steel sword and bowed: "Instructor Haimu!"

"Hmm!"

Instructor Haimu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Next, I will launch the Frost Shield, and you, use the Blazing Slash you have cultivated to attack me, remember, you must attack with all your strength, understand?"

"Yes!"

In the next second, Instructor Haimu groaned, and the star source power on the surface of his body surged, turning into wisps of frost and flying whirl, and quickly formed a fist-sized fish-scale shield around his body, with a cold aura, except for the head, legs, and arms, all of which were protected in it.

"Loraine, attack!"

"Yes!"

Luo Lan took a deep breath, and the surroundings of his body suddenly became hot, and the power of the flame law between the surrounding heaven and earth was summoned by his mind, and they condensed and burned fiercely around the steel sword, and in the blink of an eye, the steel sword was burned red, it was a very standard blazing flame slash, Luo Lan's body sank, and he suddenly rushed out, and the extremely fast "brush brush" three consecutive swords, divided into three directions, attacked the Haimu instructor.

Suddenly, a group of students were shocked, the speed and strength shown by Luo Lan, and even the intensity of the blazing slash, not many of the students present asked themselves if they would be able to do it, and these are the symbols of a person's true strength, as for the level of star source power, it is not the most intuitive evaluation standard, after all, strength is used to defeat opponents, not used as an assessment standard.

"Beautiful!"

Haimu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the flaming sword blade attack trajectory in the air, and he didn't dodge, but just used the frost shield to resist, and as a result, "Peng Pengpeng" sounded three times in a row, and each of Luo Lan's swords seemed to hit the glacier, which shocked him to retreat again and again, but each sword only left a trace of one centimeter or more on the frost shield, and could not break the frost shield.

Obviously, compared to the Starlight Protector, the martial arts of this Frost Shield are more advanced and powerful.

"Instructor, I can't break through your defenses. ”

Luo Lan said with a frown.

"Hmm!"

Haimu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, next I will explain to you the principle of the use of the Frost Shield and the points that need to be paid attention to, everyone must remember it clearly." ”

"Yes, Instructor!"

A group of students nodded in unison, and Luo Lan, who had re-entered the ranks, fell into deep thought, at the beginning, when his mother was killed, Luo Lan's hard blow was shocked by Gray's starlight body, and now, Luo Lan is about to practice a law martial art that is stronger than the starlight body, and the joy and excitement in his heart naturally need not be said, only by learning more and stronger skills, he can take revenge!

......

An hour later, after Instructor Haimu finished explaining, the students stood between the cold wind and the snow, comprehending the power of the Frost Elemental Spirit on their own.

Luo Lan carried the steel sword, jumped up, sat in a grid of the courtyard wall, let the cold wind blow his body, on the left is the flat ground in the castle, on the right is the cliff, the wisps of snowflakes in the air are drifting, so that he can't help but have a sense of gloom in his heart, his mind comes to mind in the winter of the previous year, the fragrance of his mother's fried wheat cakes, remembering the scene of his mother sewing winter bedding for himself with the wild cotton she picked, although there are only two people in the family, but the two people together is a home, but now, he will always be alone.

Home, there will never be again.

He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, holding the steel sword, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and then he closed his eyes and began to feel the existence of the power of the Frost Law in the wind and the snow.

However, the law of frost is different from the wind system, and it is also different from the fire system, it is more thick, cold, and more difficult to perceive.

As a result, after nearly three full days of feeling in the snow, finally, when Luo Lan closed his eyes again, he felt that wisps of cold converged into a filament, just around his body, and sure enough, the law of frost is different from other laws, and even the existence form of the frost spirit is not the same, just a wisp of cold, not a substantial existence.

"Found it!"

Luo Lan was slightly happy, his fingers gently hooked in the wind, and suddenly a few snowflakes seemed to be summoned, sizzling and condensing, lingering around Luo Lan's fingertips.

......

In the distance, Instructor Haimu could catch a glimpse of it, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

Mikaela also smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Instructor Haimu, Luo Lan actually realized the existence of the Frost Elf in only three days, his attainment in the law is simply a miracle, and it is really not easy to comprehend the Frost Elf even earlier than Rodney." ”

"yes. ”

Hai Mu held the long sword in both hands, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, Luo Lan, he still doesn't have star source power after all, just relying on the strength outside his body, even if he can train into a frost shield, how can he be compared to other students?"

"There's no way, he can feel it, it's already quite difficult. ”

"Well, when you take Luo Lan to the Hundred Refining Tower at night, you need to increase the medicinal properties...... No, I will apply to Lord Catherine to temper Lorain's body with higher-level beast blood. ”

"Yes!"
