Chapter 60: Valkyrie

"Especially a powerful fireball," Yue gushed about the first super magic that Alicia had taught me. It's a mixture of summoning and transmutation. ”

Yue wants to start her narrative in the media, however, the girls ask for context because they don't know Yue's fireworks, the beginning and end of the Michael Bay epic.

"Alright, alright, Shesh. Wait a minute......"

In order to tell the story clearly, Xiao Yue had to recount it several times and figure out the chronological order of her flashbacks.

"So, we're on Moreton Island, just outside the Gold Coast. The Coast Guard demanded a stern order from the tower, which meant Alexia. Master was already looking for an opportunity to bleed me, so she agreed on my behalf. ”

Xiao Yue went on to tell how she was half-asleep when Alessia grabbed her, and then flew out and took Yue in her pajamas to catch the warship.

"This island is an FOB between the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. As for why it's there, it's because of the gibberish we learned in geography class – trade routes to the South China Sea and whatever. After the hurricane struck in October, the tower lost contact with the base. ”

"One way or another, the troop carrier had trouble along the way. We were hit by a large squid trying to capsize the boat. The host killed it and we ate the grilled squid. The tentacles of the squid are as thick as your legs? Yes, please! When we were almost on the island, I think we were boarded by the crab tribe. Either way, the dish steamed with soybeans and ginger is surprisingly good. We moved on, and when we landed, the fish people were attacking the port. Sashimi in both directions, served with chili fish head soup. ”

β€œ...β€œ

β€œ...β€œ

The other two girls looked at each other.

"Have you eaten?" asked Gwen.

"Raw?" said Elvia.

Mr. Yue blinked, shouldn't I do this?"

Gwen suppressed a gag. Should Xiao Yue eat her prey? There is no right answer to this. The consumption of magical creatures is essential for the development of human civilization and its magical potential for war. At school, the girls eat table by table, but that's not the intelligent creatures, is it?There's an ethical dilemma of Caliban's length attacking Gwen as she tries to get into Yue's position.

"You're talking about people - people who speak, walk, who are wise. Villages and the like. "Civilization. Gwen reiterated, slowly realizing how ridiculous she sounded.

Xiao Yue looked at her friend suspiciously.

Sometimes, Gwen would say the most hateful things.

"Okay," Yue sighed as he anthropomorphized the magical creature. Is it better?"

Gwen felt her bowels tighten.

"Anyway, Eve, the sashimi is fantastic. It's so fresh that you can taste the mana on your tongue. ”

"Sounds delicious," Elvia muttered.

Gwen tasted the bile, wondering if there was a vegetarian mage.

"Anyway, we got to the island and it was a mess. By the way, Alicia brought the whole team with him - do you remember Billy and the others?"

Gwen did it.

Elvia didn't.

"This is Jonas, the priest of Alexia. Paul is a castling magician. The Taj Mahal is the god of water and Billy is the soothsayer. He is in charge of communications. He's asked Gwen about you several times, and I think you've impressed him. ”

Gwen's cheeks flushed. She remembered the last time they met, she was wearing only a robe.

"So we landed," Yue continued, the sound as many as the hands, and as soon as Alesia polished meβ€”flight, ironskin, aid, resistance elementalβ€”it all worked. I'm ready to go, you know? She's like, go out and get me some crab legs! I thought, 'Yes, ma'am!'

Elvia grunted.

"That's right, so we took off from the troop carrier and shook that bitch like a legendary strong woman......"

Yue watched as her first empowered fireball bloomed into a bright red flower of death, littered with fish circling like ragdolls.

The Molok, or perhaps the Joaquin Vies, could not see clearly in this distance, and scattered in search of cover. The merfolk thought they were safe after conquering the outpost, and now they pay the price of their naivety. Some of the legged fish went to the fortress and threw spears and poisoned arrows at the two mages from behind. Their inefficient weapons bounced off Yue and Alesia's iron-skinned reinforced bodies, leaving long white trails where they hit.

Alicia immediately stopped Yue's retaliation and shot a ray of fire from the window. Her crimson caraka spirit could distinguish friend from foe, and effortlessly clear the darkness of a fisheye.

Wow!

In the blink of an eye, the window exploded. More than a dozen charred fish rolled down from the second-floor window.

"Match my speed, follow my flight trajectory. Second volley. Be careful of danger when ground troops are stationed. ”

"Yes, Master," Yue enthusiastically obeyed.

The owner and students circled around the base, and Jonas and the rest of the team arrived with reinforcements, cleaning up the "mud" as they went. He observed a creature being stabbed by a stone spear that erupted from the ground. According to Alexia, a mermaid without a dorsal fin is a cuttlefish;

"Coke oven!"

Yue issued her new spell to test their combat power.

Radiant lines of fire radiated from her hands, and jets of flames so hot that they turned white and blue struck the small fish below, breaking limbs and heads, and igniting other small fish. When three or more people appeared, brandishing primitive spears, the Yue faction chose a fireball that blew those who were not wearing armor into flaming meat skewers.

Shhhhhhh

On their third pass, a bone spear shot out of nowhere and stabbed Yue in the middle of the fight, causing her to fall underneath. Yue's iron sheet was still standing, but the sneak attack made her breathless. With a scream, Xiao Yue fell. As an apprentice, she borrowed flying skills that lacked the means to sustain her lack of concentration.

Alicia watched as her apprentice crashed into the sandstone wall, sliding down both sides and piling on the blackened asphalt below. Teacher Yue cursed under her breath, then somersaulted in the air and dived for her students.

Sneak attack from the windows on the third floor. Below, several Molok people had already gathered on this fallen Yue Guo. Alexia was caught just in time, and before hitting the ground, she shot a maximized fireball into the window, and the explosion behind her sent a shower of glass and aluminum.

"Yue, are you okay?"

"yes, just a little dizzy. Xiao Yue patted her thigh to counteract the concussion, and she staggered to her feet, leaning against the wall.

"Do you think you can handle this?" Alexia tested, the apprentices' resolve.

Xiao Yue nodded, using willpower to dispel her lethargy. The dark figures were getting closer, and half of them were long daggers armed with bone spears and megalodons. Xiao Yue listened to Master's words and waited for a while before making a half-circle gesture with both hands.

"Wall of Fire!" she cast a spell, pushing away the pain that was beating in her head.

A semi-ring of orange plasma suddenly appeared, grabbing the Mollocks as they advanced. Xiao Yue muttered as she injected more mana into the phenomenon. Ahead, her flames burned as if ignited by an invisible wind, emitting a blue-white glow that turned her enemies into charcoal.

"Phewβ€”" Just as the last Murlock writhed to his death, Yue fell to one of his knees. As she knelt down, her master grabbed her and put Yue's arm on her shoulder.

"Well done, apprentice. ”

She smiles at her master and idol.

"Let's take you back to Jonas. ”

"I'm sorry I got hit. ”

"It's the best of us who are in this situation. "You'll learn in time," Alexia replied encouragingly, remembering to always keep an eye on the situation. Don't be distracted by fireworks. Forget to fire, never stop moving, never fly in a straight line. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

By the time they returned to Jonas, the landing force had already swept away the skirmishers. Billy made a circle to make sure there were no Murlocks in the base.

The Taj Mahal said, "I'm going to bring the crystals." ”。

Alicia removes a storage ring and tosses the spare barrier core to him. Due to the proximity of these creatures, it is likely that the base has lost its original location. Unlike barriers close to cities, these coastal power stations are regional, isolated, and mostly self-powered.

"I'll keep an eye on it," Paul said, and went off with the Taj Mahal.

Jonas walked over and stared at Yue worriedly.

"Is it already hurt?" he said, putting a hand on her shoulder, it would itch. Heal the Light!"

Shaking more, her bruises subsided and her fractures healed. By the time the spell ended, cold sweat had soaked her shirt.

"Thank you, Jonas," Yue replied through gritted teeth.

"Ellie, are you sure you want to take Yue into battle?" Jonas asked his commander.

"Of course," said Alessia, who could handle it. She's just like me. When I was fifteen, there were four-digit deaths. At Yue's age, I was a major. ”

"It was a war. Jonas protested.

"And what do you call that?" Alexia smiled debaucherously, expanding her hand over the vista of the burned and shattered courtyard.

"You know exactly what I mean," Jonas snarled.

"I'm fine. Xiao Yue stared at a spot on the floor, forcing herself to resist the urge to pull her skin apart so she could gnaw on her itchy bones.

"Well, I know Alicia thinks you're a tough guy to deal with, but take care of yourself. "Don't be reckless. Jonas rubbed his chin and scratched his beard on the handlebars as he persuaded.

"I will, thank you Jonas," Yue replied innocently, stretching out his arms to punish the elasticity of the merciless cloth. Jonas panicked, and he wanted to find something else to occupy his heart.

Alicia smiled. Jonas is a celibate. Why they call him Daddy. He is also a worried person, even though Jonas is a good healer.

There was a buzz in the air. The barrier is back.

"We're leaving. Alicia patted Yue on the back and encouraged him to complete the task. The easiest 10 kilometers you won. How?"

Mr. Yue seemed stunned by the news.

"We get paid for it?"

Alicia looked at her apprentice suspiciously.

"You don't think we're doing this for free, do you? There may be a lot of things in this tower, but it's not a charity!"

"There's too much money. ”

"Why?" Alexia raised a delicate eyebrow. "I'm a battalion-level mage, and you're my cute little banner!

"It's still too much, master. Yue protested. She had a total of four hundred dollars on her student card, which was the result of her savings for half a year. To save money on lunch and dinner, she usually eats in the school cafeteria.

"Shhhh

"No," Yue admitted.

"Flying boots, spear armor, Ain stone, battle wand, health potion, mana potion..."

She shuddered at the thought of so many HDM companies flowing out of her account.

"I see, master. ”

"Okay, now let's see how the harvester goes. We can keep 50% of the kills.

The Reaper Mages and their assistants spent the better part of the afternoon collecting corpses and digging out mana cores. Although the team managed to find about 20 more stones of various sizes, most of the cores were broken.

"About two thousand people at the HDM company value lady," a crew member reported that you are going to pick up the goods now?"

"Shoot, of course. ”

Yue watched as Alessia handed the ring to her biocore. She turned to Yue.

"If you feel a powerful element present in a core, it means that there is a soul there. If you can find one, you're in luck. A pokema sells for about 2 to 3,000 HDM companies, while a mid-level elf like my Caracal is expected to be up to 20,000 HDM companies. ”

Xiao Yue's teeth felt weak.

"Are you starting to understand why I dragged you in?"

Xiaoyue is not good at critical thinking, but she can also sense an unexpected gain when her piggy bank jingles.

"Making crystals?" she cautiously ventured.

"That's right!" Alexia put one arm around her apprentice, rubbing two fingers together. "There are three things about a good mage: good upbringing, good training, and good resources. If you want to catch up with Gwen, Tiger, then you'd better fuck off. ”

"How much money did you make?" Gwen watched as Yue imitated Alessia rubbing two fingers in a conniving way.

"Huh......" Yue smirked, don't you want to know?"

"Come on, don't dodge. ”

"Guess what. ”

Elvia held up five fingers.

"Five HDM companies? Eve - relax. ”

Gwen faced the palm.

She meant five hundred. Gwen put Avia's guess in the right place.

"It's colder. ”

"Fifty?"

"Warmer"

"Two hundred?"

"It's colder. ”

"One in fifty?"

"Bingo, almost. ”

Gwen tried to whistle, but only one raspberry was blown on Elvia's head.

Thankfully, Elvia's eyes were glazed. She has the support of her family, but the situation is different. Her name has never been more than a hundred HDM companies.

"Great, Xiaoyue!"

"Hehe, thank you. Xiao Yue proudly puffed up her chest.

"What happened next?" Elvia wondered what was so scary about Yue's jungle island adventure.

"So yes, we stayed on the island for a while because we were going to clean up the place. Alicia took advantage of the opportunity to make me emaciated. Day in and day out, it's "Cheer up!"! Fly out!'Blow this up!'Blow it up!'Search and destroy it, you know what's going on, right? After a while, I got used to it. In the end, we must have burned down half of the island. ”

Unfortunately, the girls didn't have "how".

"Do you want highlights?" After they asked for more details, Yue breathed a sigh of relief Well, there is one thing, you see what we found... But no, it's not that interesting. ”

Xiao Yue's face turned pale, and the muscles on her face froze into a terrifying smile.

Gwen felt her heart racing. Something terrible must have happened that made Xiao Yue, who was calm and calm, uneasy.

"Are you alright?"

"yesβ€”" Xiao Yue pouted.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Gwen walked over the bed, took her friend's hand, and noticed in gentle panic that Xiao Yue was cold and wet, are you okay?"

"God forbid!"

Elvia reached out and channeled some particles of positive energy into their friend, filling her body with a warm, fuzzy glow.

"Thanks, Eve. Xiao Yue swallowed Okay, I'm going to tell this story. ”

The girls nodded.

"There are no secrets," Yue repeated.

"Nope. Gwen's stomach shook and she realized its "secret".

"Okay. Xiao Yue seemed to calm down. She squeezed Gwen's hand and began to tell the story, her eyes focused on the distance in between. "So, when I went out hunting, I came across a Morock spawning pond......"

Yue reads in her sociology textbook that humans are the only creatures that maintain movable property, cultivate on a large scale, and domesticate quasi-magical beasts to feed their burgeoning citizens.

She had been stalking her prey at the lake until she was discovered. Alicia has a simple survival training rule. You kill, you eat. That said, Yue was already equipped with a small storage ring and a tracking amulet, and was sent to the Orange Zone to find dinner.

With the basic layout of the land, she walked out of the camp with her unskilled metamorphosis and rushed into the forest like an Auror in a terracotta shop. She had almost given up hope, but to her surprise, she spotted a pig-like creature with a curling nose searching for roots, completely unaware of her presence. From the back, it doesn't look too impressive, like a sturdy dog. It looks stupid, and according to Alicia's experience, it means one of two things - either the creatures are not native, or the local predators are undisturbed. Looking at the chirping pig, Mr. Yue was convinced that it must be the livestock that the colonists had kept before it was wiped out by the Mollocks.

Currently, the pig is eating by the lake.

She very carefully evokes a flaming spear, a scorching ray that changes shape, in order to penetrate. It struck the pig-like creature in the starfish, impaling the pig-like beast with a quenching scream.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yue giggled, then ventured out of her hiding place. She knelt on her prey, took out a Bowie knife, and began to dismember the beast, as Paul had instructed. Now in a much better mood, she is humming songs as she works, while playing some tunes that were popular on the Sydney pop charts before she left.

She was busy pulling out a rather tasty-looking harness when there was a commotion on the half-kilometer-wide shore opposite.

There's something on the lake. If she squinted in the sunlight, she could make out what looked like a dam made of rotting driftwood and trees tied together with vines. There was a Murlock man on it, fiddling with a familiar, fleshy silhouette.

Yue stopped extracting dinner from slaughtered pigs. There, there was a fisherman with an axe, and with an axe, he chopped down something that looked like a human. She could only make out the humanoid bobbing back and forth before collapsing. Then, the Mega people slashed everywhere and threw pieces of reddish-pink meat into the water.

"Fuck," Yue muttered to himself.

What the hell did she see? Her esophagus clutched tightly as she wiped her bloodstained hands from her shorts and shirt. When she looked down again, she finally saw what the pig was eating.

There was a man's hand whose wrist had been split and one finger had fallen into the reeds.

That's what pigs eat.

Fifteen minutes later, she stormed the base camp, her clothes torn and her leg bleeding from thorns.

"No wonder there are so many thugs around. Paul hung a cigar in the corner of his lips and grilled fish fillets over red-hot coals, and they built a spawning pond for themselves. ”

"This explains how the local garrison was crushed. Alicia clicked if they could grow up in the darkness for three months. Well done, Xiaoyue. ”

With a click of Alexia's fingers, the fire in the camp was extinguished.

", my fish!" Paul groaned.

"your fish. Ready to leave, raid configuration. We're going to take out that village. ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Then the soldiers saluted the people in the camp.

"Yue, Billy, find me someone by the lake, and I want a comprehensive survey report of this area. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Yes, master. ”

Yue points to Billy on the map where she thinks the lake will be, and watches Billy's eyes turn white as the ice cream catches it. When the soothsayer finishes speaking, he turns to the map and begins to mark patrol routes, points of interest, and opportunity targets on the map. Xiao Yue looked at Billy's work with fascination. Usually, Billy is a nervous, stuttering shipwreck, but the soothsayer is an expert when it comes to map markers.

After a while, Alesia and the rest of the team walked over, packed their bags, and prepared to rumble.

"A brief introduction. ”

Billy noticed several entry strategies for Alexia to read, combing through each one on the map. When it was said and done, Alicia nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, stand back, keep in touch with our base camp at the beach and let them know we've found our mother's line. I'm going to wipe out this area completely. Jonas, Paul, set up the extraction point here - here

Alexia taps the map.

"Taj, Yue, you two are with me. Taj Mahal, Paul, we are running an extended buffer, planning a full-scale battle for 60 minutes. I'm going up. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Okay. Cheer up!"

"Wait," Jonas coughed, do you want to take Xiaoyue with you?

Alexia bowed her head.

"What's wrong?"

"She's not ready. ”

Alexia turned to Yue.

"Are you ready?"

Xiao Yue's mind returned to the scene she saw by the lake. She could still feel the anger rolling.

"I'm ready. ”

"Look, she's ready. Alicia patted Yue's head.

Jonas didn't say anything.

"All right, ladies, begin!" said Paul.

"Mass Flight! Boost Fitness! Freedom of Movement!"

The Taj Mahal is not far behind.

"Help! God forbid! Resist the elements!

The two mages were sweating profusely after only wiping Alesia and Yue. Taj then polished himself and activated his flying boots.

Alexia ceremoniously stepped back.

When Yue helped Alessia take off her clothes and put them in the ring, the men all turned around.

An inscription appears at the feet of the Red Witch, and the three circles split in two to form a trinity mandala that rotates faster and faster until it enters the main plane of fire. In an instant, the air around the evoker ignited. Hovering in mid-air, Alicia's Flame Soul Caramel melted into her body. Bright red flames erupted from her porcelain skin, and her hair turned into a red, hot copper thread that spewed out a swarm of fireflies. Her blue eyes turned into two shining stars, with a blazing white light and the fury of primordial flames.

Yue looked at it, his eyes full of admiration and amazement. This is the embodiment of her most famous desire, the physical manifestation of the feminine form of "firepower".

Alicia sprained her neck. Her voice was low, like that of God.

"Yue, come quickly! Today, we are the knights of death, sowing discord and war in the name of Odin!"
