Section D Prologue: Predictions (Beverly, Tina)
A new and peaceful day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lusa's eyes were blurry, but she didn't remember the contents of the dream. Bulso and the others tried to track down the Masked Woman.
Curator Leo and the others of the Adya Academy of Magic were apprehensive because of the letter brought by Naderno, and they were silently preparing: because according to the analysis of the letter and the captured Black Mist Blood Cultists using illusions to find out the news, the signs of the Acquired Demon Tide would befall the Academy of Magic.
In order not to spread panic, the news has not yet spread.
As for Alice, she still lives helplessly with Charlotte in Hot Spring Valley.
An uneventful day, nothing to say. 、
...... Except that Salander's arm has healed more than half.
According to the plan, Beverly planned to leave the next day. She decided to retrieve the disc used to open the Triangle Pavilion from the nearby Underworld base as soon as possible.
The contents sealed inside the triangular coffin of the underground ruins of Neverwinter City are now known to be a ritual prop. And on the Great Snow Field, there is another ritual prop hidden at the altar of the Old City, where the ancestors of the Children of Ice and the Children of Frost once lived.
At present, it seems that as long as you get two ritual items, you can summon the gods of this frozen land: the Ice Dragon God and the Frost Giant.
Beverly sorted things out, trying not to let the nostalgia for her master and Alice distract her thoughts.
A disc has been placed on the triangular coffin.
And one of them was in the hands of the Black Church Longkar.
The last ...... But it's a bit hard to find.
The reason is that, according to the speculation of the previous poems, the remaining two discs may be hidden in the eastern mountains where there are hot springs and glaciers, or under the cliffs and valleys of the Ice Dragon Valley.
At present, there are two possibilities that are relatively clear. The best thing is that one of these two places has a hidden disc, while the other has long been taken away by the Black Church.
The worst part is that it's not there. After all, two discs are now on display.
There is a key character in this matter, who plays a very strange role. That's the Nadia Bachelor. The old man is now a Corruptor.
Why did he write such verses to remind the secret?
And why hide that bloodthirsty dagger according to the puzzle?
Who the hell is this guy? Maybe we'll have to figure that out.
Anyway, Beverly knew that she and Salander had to find the disc first, and then see if Mad Dog and Tina had been caught around here.
And then...... It's up to Lucina to use the entire day that the portal can open to go deep into the Dark Glacier and rescue Alice, Charlotte, and Gilissa trapped there—if Mad Dog and Tina are really here.
According to her train of thought, she had to try to prove how Black Ice corrupted people after that. So as to find out what can be avoided. In this way, you can walk up with confidence.
The prevailing belief is that black ice corrupts automatically, but it cannot corrode or lay down Eborn's larger colonies. This can be seen from the fact that the enemy failed to lay black ice into the outpost in the First Battle of Beihai.
However, the armies on the southern permafrost border to reclaim Jiuquan Town were corrupted by the spreading black ice.
What is the reason for this?
Another mainstream view is that black ice is usually just a decoration, and only when someone infuses it with mana can it have a corrupting effect. But it can only corrupt humans, and only intimidate animals.
It's also a headache. Because in this case, the other party can wait for the army to walk on the black ice before starting to corrupt it.
So, in the end, the best way to deal with this completely impenetrable black ice is to take out the black ice generators that are hidden everywhere.
In this way, although it is not possible to avoid the possibility that the enemy mage will suddenly lay out the black ice to corrupt the army like in Jiuquan Town, at least it can be steadily and steadily destroying the black ice device, and gradually reducing the black ice area to allow the army to advance.
Doing so is a huge profit. Just send the most elite stalkers to do it.
But...... Beverly's sensitive thoughts reminded her that something was wrong.
It wasn't until Mad Dog saw that there was no black ice around him in Ice City that people could perceive the contradiction.
At the beginning, what was the point of the enemy showing Lusha and the four of them in the living room the scene of the army of Jiuquan Town being corrupted by black ice?
Because everyone heard the news that Jiuquan Town was engulfed by black ice and all the soldiers were corrupted, they naturally believed the scene.
So what if the army was only wiped out and resurrected into the Corrupted by magic?
Isn't this scene just a faked and misleading—to make everyone think that Black Ice's corrupting power is immense, and that Black Ice Mages have the power to lay it?
In any case, it's quite strange. However, if the guess is accurate, it can solve many problems: the Black Ice Mage himself does not have the ability to directly lay large swaths of black ice in a location where many Eborns gather. But if the number of Eborn is relatively small, it may not be able to resist corruption.
The Corruptors seem to be brewing something at the moment, and are not attacking head-on. Previously, it was more inclined to corrupt the Ice Rock City Lord's mind and cause civil unrest and assassination.
After finding out this, two teams of men and horses had to be sent to separate operations, going to the Ice Dragon Valley and the eastern mountains to find the disc respectively. Naturally, Vicor, as an old hunter who knew the location of the hot spring glacier, naturally went to the eastern mountain group.
She didn't want to worry about these things at first, but now she vaguely felt that her master might have something to do with this Winter's Breath.
The day passed like this, and no one could make any big moves.
And early the next morning.
Inside the cold cell, droplets of water continued to drip down.
It stirred up a nerve-wracking sound on the waterlogged ground.
Is it daylight again...... Still trapped in the cage, Tina opened her eyes in a daze, feeling sick all over.
There are two people in the cage, and the space is too small. Even Aya's small body would feel uncomfortable.
How's Mellon...... Tina looked at the mad dog anxiously, and finally felt a little relieved: fortunately, although he was still in a coma, he was already in a much better condition.
Looking at this face, maybe you will wake up today or tomorrow.
Judging by the number of times the sunlight has dissipated...... Tina fed Mellon the fragrant blood of Aya, and her body was constantly shivering with pain: We've been locked up here for three days.
Tina's weakness was growing from the fact that she had nothing to eat. If she hadn't been biting off her own flesh for the mad dogs, maybe Mellon wouldn't have been able to hold on.
The effect of the ice toxin is very terrifying, although Aiya blood is slowly recovering him, but humans are inevitably addicted to Aiya blood. Not to mention, Tina has been pouring so much blood into him for the past three days.
There's no water to drink. Even from the point of view of water intake, it is necessary to let him drink more blood.
