Chapter 35: Dragon's Blood Transformation
"Ahh In a few moments, Naxi's bare part of the body was frozen blue, and the blood in his body was about to be frozen.
"Why is it so cold?" said Naxi with a shudder, insisting on waiting in front of the dimensional gate for the sake of the dwarf Gangze who might appear.
Despite Nubis's many remarks that the dwarves were likely to die by being teleported to other labyrinths, Naxi still had a glimmer of hope that Gangze would catch up.
As the captain, Lidona also has the same feeling, no matter what, she can't abandon the dwarf Gangze, because the dwarf is not only an old friend of her master, but also gives herself a lot of help.
Nubis shrugged and said, "You can wait if you like." But what I'm saying is, magician, if you don't find a way to keep you out of the cold, you'll just wait to freeze to death here. The temperature here can turn a cup of boiling water into ice in the blink of an eye. ”
The means of keeping out the cold are all tricks of high-level magicians, and a magic rookie like Naxi may be such a high-end magician. In order to ward off the cold, he replaced all his magic power with fire, but it didn't take long for him to run out of magic power.
No matter how much he rubbed his hands now, it was only a matter of time before he was frozen into an ice sculpture.
It would be nice if Gisma was here, she would use the god of life to defy the cold to save Naxi from freezing to death, but unfortunately the priest girl has already been eaten by Meow in the Misty Glade.
As a dragonborn, Lidona certainly doesn't have to worry about the cold, but she still worries about Naxi, who is shivering in the cold wind. You must know that it has only been less than an hour, and Naxi, who is sitting on the ground, has been frozen a little. If Naxi dies like this, her plans will be in vain.
Naxi, who insisted on waiting, stared at the constantly rotating dimensional gate with blurred eyes, trembling and not knowing when he would faint.
In a daze, he found a warm hand grasping his right hand, and Naxi looked up to see that the owner of the hand was Lidona, much to his surprise. The warmth from his hand warmed his heart, and seeing a girl willing to convey her body temperature to herself, Naxi was almost moved to tears.
"Miss Lidona, you're this" Naxi was almost speechless, he loved it so much.
To know that you have grown so big, this kind of envy of everyone has never been treated.
Lidona's face was a little rosy, and her tone became a little coquettish, and she didn't look at the ice beauty at all: "Hold on, it will hurt a little next." ”
A little pain next?
After hearing this, Naxi, who was already a little dazed by the cold, naturally thought of going to a certain place. He smirked twice and said, "Miss Lidona, please go on, I won't let go no matter how much it hurts!"
As soon as the words fell, Naxi felt that he was thinking wrong, and that he was very wrong. Because he saw that Lidona had unleashed a sharp dagger at this time, and the flickering cold light made Naxi's heart even colder.
"Wait, Miss Lidona, what are you doing here?"
Isn't it just a handshake, and you need to draw a knife to face each other? Is it too unfair that you will cut off your hand after shaking it, and you take the initiative to hold me, no matter how you look at it, you will only suffer a loss, which is too unjust.
Watching the dagger glowing with cold light slowly approaching him, Naxi's whole body was about to collapse. He wanted to struggle, but his frozen body had no strength at all.
Could it be that he is really going to die here today, Naxi looked at the dagger he wanted to swing his heart and his heart was broken.
After a flash of cold light, Naxi realized that the sharp dagger had actually been inserted into the palms of the two of them, and had not cut off any other part of his body.
Lidonna glanced at Naxi again and said, "I hope you can hold it later, I've seen people die in pain." ”
Naxi didn't understand what Lidona was talking about, and then a sharp blade cut open her palm, and blood poured out.
The dagger was double-edged, and Lidona's hand was cut across it, and the blood that flowed out was mixed with Naxi's.
When his wound was touched by Lidona's blood, Naxi suddenly felt as if his right palm had been ignited, and the hot pain tore his soul off piece by piece. This burning sensation spread from the palm of his right hand to his arm and even his whole body, and Naxi was freezing to death just now, but now it was extremely hot.
"What the hell is going on here?" Naxi, who felt like he was in lava, broke free of Lidona's right hand. He looked up at Lidona, who was still as cold as ice, and he didn't understand what the ice beauty in front of him had done to him.
Lidona said coldly: "If you can pass the test of dragon blood transformation, you can ignore the cold in front of you, if you can't resist, you just wait to be burned alive by dragon blood!"
"Why! Why do you want this to me! Take it away, I don't want any dragon blood conversion!"
Naxi writhed in pain in the snow, the endless heat emitted from his body melting all the blood around him. The heat emitted by the dragon's blood had already scorched Naxi's entire consciousness, and all he could think of in his mind now was the infinite sea of fire. This endless sea of fire baked and melted his waking consciousness little by little, and there was nothing left at the end.
"I don't want any dragon blood! Take it away! Take it away!"
The cold wind of hunting swept away everything it encountered, and in this whirring cold wind carried Naxi's heart-wrenching scream, and this cry of grief accompanied by this biting cold wind resounded throughout the glacier and snow field. Nashi fought as hard as he could to resist the unprecedented heat and pain, and screaming didn't seem to reduce much of his pain.
Nubis looked at what was happening in front of him indifferently, and he was well aware of what was happening in front of him, but he didn't expect Lidona to be even crazier than he thought.
"I said it's worth it to take this scrap mage as a servant?" Nubis knew the dagger, a ritual dagger for the Dragon's lineage.
Lidona didn't answer Nubis's question, she carefully observed Naxi who was lying on the ground and rolling on the ground, noticing the changes that had taken place in him. When she saw that the snow under Naxi had melted away from the heat, she kicked Naxi, who was still rolling, into the snow-covered ground next to her.
In normal times, Naxi in this state should be placed in a pool to dissipate heat, but under his eyes, he can only use the snow everywhere to cool him down slightly.
Nubis looked at this somewhat comical scene and did not laugh: "I said that this poor creature will not pass the test of dragon blood conversion at all. Without a strong physique and a strong will, he was destined to be burned alive in this ordeal. Is it a joke that a magician can want to pass such a test?"
"Shut up, little one!" said Lidona coldly, "if he doesn't, he'll freeze to death here." It's a dead end anyway, so why not gamble. ”
Nubis was finally amused by this, and a teleportation appeared and floated in front of Lidona's eyes, "That's true, but I don't think it's worth it for you." Every Dragonborn can't have an endless stream of servants like a dragon, and whether you succeed or fail, you're destined to only have three dragon blood transformations in your lifetime. I'm curious about how many times you have left now. ”
It was obvious that the words of the guide elf had stimulated Lidona, and in her anger, she quickly drew her sword and slashed at the elf in front of her, but her sword could not even touch the afterimage of the elf.
Dodging the deadly slash, Nubis smiled, "Judging by your reaction, I'm guessing this might be the last time you cast a dragon's blood transformation." It seems that this doomed failure will make you unable to awaken the dragon vein for the rest of your life. ”
"Shut up!" Lidona was completely furious, "Do you think I want to? If I could, I wouldn't want to have goddamn dragon blood!
"Well, I apologize to you for this, I didn't know it would touch your painful memories. Nubis continued, "But I have to remind you that this poor mage is already guilty. ”
The guide elf found that Naxi's groans of pain could no longer be heard, and the poor mage lay in the snowdrift and did not move.
Seeing this scene, Lidona suddenly knelt in the snow and cried: "Why, why, why did I fail again, I don't want to be like this! Why did God give me such pain, why did my parents give me such harmful blood." I don't really want to be awakened, I just want to be an ordinary person. ”
The cold wind of the hunt suddenly drowned out the crying of the dragonborn warrioress, and Nubis, who was standing not far away, could not hear what Lidona was muttering.
In the chaotic flying snowflakes, Nubis also looked at Naxi who was lying not far away with some sadness, and his heart was full of emotion.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the mage's blood-covered palm tremble slightly: "Hell, am I dazzled?"
