Section E: Chapter 98: Idioms (Cyberdart)
After all, it is now the time when the gods have passed away.
No matter how different you are, you must unite to keep warm. Let alone...... In the past, when the Ice Dragon God and the Frost Giant were there, they also led them to fight against the Grim Reaper of the Dark Glacier.
I've seen a lot of gods over the years...... Cyberdat pondered for a moment: there are not a few evil gods who are vicious.
Black Ice Death, not only what kind of strength...... But it's definitely pretty scary.
Its agent is the Black Ice Mage.
Able to lay down black ice at any time, though without the Black Ice Spawning Device, which must be built in areas where Ebone's breath of life is not strong, and has no effect on corrupting the living. However, if Eborn dies on the black ice, he will immediately become a corruptor and become a member of the enemy army. And...... It can resurrect corruptors who have died in battle for reasons other than fire attacks at any time, making them an undead army.
Quite a targeted site effect.
And it's bluffing. Many people are afraid to go out on the black ice.
However, even the corrupting effect of black ice cannot immediately corrupt Eborn. However, the black smoke from it can be hallucinating.
That kind of black smoke is really dangerous.
It can be said that if you get close to it, it will be easy to lose resistance, and it is not too much.
Seth, who had jumped off the stone pillar, landed smoothly and quickly approached the hugger, intending to find out. Seeing that the monster's eye socket was occupied by arrows, he couldn't help but feel happy, but he felt nauseous.
It's not a dense phobia, it's not so exaggerated. I don't throw up breakfast — oh yes, I didn't eat anything in the morning. (Actually, can wee hours be considered morning?)
The main thing is that the four arrows are stuck in the eye, which looks a little uncomfortable for him.
There is an indescribable weirdness to this shape. It's uncomfortable to look at. Although it can also be called a sense of joy, it requires a very curious and unrelenting aesthetic to come.
Because of this, Cyberdat decided to pull out the four arrows before taking a closer look.
Otherwise, my eyes will be blinded by nausea.
Even though it is dead, the aura of this hugger is still strong. It looks like I'm still going to give you a warm hug at any time.
...... No, it should be called a cold hug.
Because its corpse had been covered with a thin layer of snow that had fallen on it.
In this situation, there is actually a trace of bleakness. Reminds Cyberdat of the match seller of Little Yasan (an acquired humanoid creature who also has Ebon. with carapace and distinct insect features) this story.
In this story, little Yasan, who sells matches, ends up freezing to death in the snow. The body is covered with such a layer of snow. But it's certainly much thicker than this thin layer of snow.
The reason why I think of this fairy tale is probably related to another level of déjà vu: Ahsan and the hugger both have carapaces, so their shapes are relatively close.
...... Well, not too close.
But at least Eborn, who is much closer than Elves and Aya, or something.
Actually, this fairy tale is quite inexplicable.
Originally, it was about a little girl who sold matches. The girl was a human (some say orc).
But somehow, all kinds of skin-changing copycats began to pop up. The match seller Ahsan mentioned above is one of them. Perhaps there are versions of each race except for Aya, who is not afraid of the cold, the ice elves, and those races that have no women.
You see that Yasan has such a heavy mouth, and there is no version of them.
The story that has been spread for a long time is probably like this.
The bard speaks even more.
When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, which is a true portrayal of this situation.
In fact, this is also a misinformation.
The original saying is that there are many birds, and there are all kinds of forests. This means that if the bird is large enough, it will expand its habitat and spread to a variety of forests. Over time, this bird can be seen in all kinds of woods.
The original meaning is different from the meaning of the word widely used by people, or even completely opposite or even almost replaced, and there are too many examples of people who say the correct usage and original meaning will be ridiculed for being uneducated and using the wrong word.
For example, it is groundless.
The original meaning of the people is that the spread of figurative news and rumors is not completely without reason. It will also be used as a metaphor for the opportunity to spread gossip.
But nowadays, most people think that this idiom means that the rumors are unfounded.
It's also quite annoying. After all, when you see someone say this idiom, you can't tell exactly what they mean: is it the correct usage or the well-known wrong usage?
Over time, people have been forced to add another phrase after the words "empty wind" when using the correct usage.
That is, it comes from nothing, and it comes from it.
That way, anyone will be able to understand what you are saying.
There are many examples of words whose origins have been distorted or even reversed. Like what...... It has the same experience as the phrase "there are more birds, and there are forests in everything", which is "cutting mud like iron".
Originally, the term meant that the blade was too blunt to chop a piece of mud. As soon as the knife was cut, the blade cut into the mud unscathed, as if it had been cut on a piece of iron.
Obviously, this is not a good iron either. Otherwise, with a good material to cast a sword, no matter how dull the blade is, it will be cut off.
Later, someone (naturally, the identity of this person is unknown) came up with a bold idea.
...... Actually, it's not very bold. But I'm just wondering if it's better to use this idiom upside down.
Therefore, the order of the two words has been changed, "sharpening iron like clay" makes a brilliant appearance.
It was so powerful that it became a word for the razor-sharp blade. After all, cutting iron is as easy and casual as cutting mud, and it is really a simple and expressive description.
Because of this, it has become a must-have word for many profiteers to brag. Cyberdat has even seen people boast about their weapons when they say "sharpen iron like clay", as if there is nothing to replace without this word.
It is not surprising that the original version of Sharpening Clay became popular, and even that the original version of Sharpening Clay Like Iron was expelled from the public eye or even almost forgotten.
After all, there are as many reasons as there are.
The first is that it sounds much more domineering and imposing. Cutting mud is too cheap.
The second is that it feels more reasonable. After all, who has nothing to do to chop mud every day.
Again, it is more commonly used and has a promotional effect. Together, these are enough to make it better than blue.
It's good for those who know a little bit about this kind of trivia, but if you say this original word to those who don't know much about this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will provoke a burst of criticism.
