Chapter 65: Operation Ice
"Master Vivien. Vivian's eyes narrowed with a smile: "I almost forgot, I have become a Legendary-level professional who can be called a master." I see what you mean, indeed, after being promoted to legend, you should have a wider horizon, and many things that you couldn't do before can now be done, and there are more tactics. ”
"What do you have in mind?" Catherine asked in surprise, "Can you solve the current dilemma?"
"Of course. Vivien nodded, a confident smile on her face: "Mages who have been promoted to the Legendary rank are already two completely different professions compared to before, and now I have too many things to do, such as...... Frozen seas. ”
Several girls raised their eyebrows at the same time, and Freya said movingly: "The safe distance of the defense circle is at least five hundred meters away from the edge of the desert island, and if the sea is frozen, you have to freeze the sea water at least five hundred meters away, which is not a simple project." And don't forget, this is seawater, not fresh water, and it's much harder to freeze than fresh water. ”
"Of course I know that. Vivian smiled and said, "If I rely on my own ability, I may not be able to freeze such a large area of the sea, but with your presence and your help, freezing the sea is not a problem." ”
"Then we'll be ready to cooperate. Catherine said with interest, "Let's see what you're going to do." ”
"As a first step, I need a piece of land. Vivien took out her staff and tapped it to the sea beside her, "I said, to have a stable foothold, and so the ice appeared." ”
With Vivien's finger, a chilling cold air erupted from the surface of the sea. The other four people around felt that in an instant, the temperature of the sea had dropped to the limit. The microwave rippling sea suddenly became still, and a sound of broken ice came from the still, and the fine ice appeared from the sea, and was swallowed and broken by the sea at the moment of appearance. But the temperature was getting colder, and the ice broke more and more, and the area became larger and larger, and soon, a thin layer of ice had covered about 20 square meters of sea surface. However, Vivien did not immediately withdraw her staff, but continued to convey the magic power of the ice attribute to maintain the magic effect, so the surrounding sea water continued to freeze on the basis of ice, making the ice thicker and thicker, and the range became larger and larger. Finally, when the ice thickened to nearly one meter, and the area had reached more than thirty square meters, Vivien breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew her staff, and turned back to make an inviting gesture to everyone: "Welcome to Master Vivien's Sea Villa, I hope you can have a good time in the master's territory." ”
"Stupid Vivien, this is at best the foundation of the villa. Lina pursed her lips and deliberately teased, "Or is this master's villa a unique open-air style?" ”
"Idiot Lina, be careful I don't let you in. Vivien bared her teeth at Lina and pretended to be vicious: "This is my territory, and I have decided to refuse your entry, hum." ”
"Stupid, don't you know that there is an act called trespassing?" Lina let out a series of haughty laughs, pressed against the edge of the ice suspended on the sea, jumped her arm upwards with force, and then fell back into the water because the ice was too slippery.
"Hahaha, this is damnation. Vivian lay on the water and couldn't stand her body with a smile, pointed at the angry Lina and said, "You deserve it, who made you scold me, I can't even look at the ice, haha, so you're stupid." ”
Catherine pressed the corner of her forehead with a headache, sighed deeply, and no longer paid attention to the two fools who were twisting in the water again and pinching each other's faces, and after stretching her body in the water, her waist, abdomen and lower limbs slammed into the water, far beyond the striking force of ordinary people, making her jump out of the water like a real fish and jump directly onto the ice. Stepping on the ice, Catherine couldn't help frowning, as a high-level professional, although her ability to resist cold and heat has been significantly improved, she still feels very uncomfortable stepping on the ice. Catherine shook her head, swung her one-handed sword and slashed continuously at the edge of the ice, making a dense deep mark to prevent slipping, before crouching on the edge of the ice and pulling the people in the water up one by one.
On the ice, the five people made the same action, quickly opened the waterproof backpack, took out the towel to dry their bodies, and then changed into ordinary shoes on land, which relieved the discomfort caused by the cold soles of their feet.
"Don't you really need us to hold you in the water?" asked Pannis, a little worried, "If no one controls it, aren't you worried about the ice floes floating around?" Although there is no wind and waves, the sea is calm, but now, well, it is time for low tide, and the ice floes will drift farther and farther away. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry. Vivien shook her head and said, "I've calculated, the current of the low tide is not large, and it won't affect such a thick layer of ice too much. By the time the current really increases, it should be able to connect the ice to the opposite shore. ”
"If only you did the math. Pannis nodded: "Then it's up to you to perform." ”
"So, the first thing to do is to set up the room. Vivien didn't simply put on her coat like the others, but put on her entire blue work dress, skillfully pulled out a mythril alloy carving knife from her pocket, and began to carve the circle on the ice.
"Is that okay?" Catherine whispered to Pannis, a little worried, "No matter how thick the ice is, it can't block the Sea Clan's attack, and once they find out that they are in a bitter battle, it will still waste the point of making ice." ”
"Remember when we were at the bottom of the sea?" explained Pannis, "we hid behind the reef, used the reef as a cover, and evaded a patrol around the reef, don't forget." ”
"Oh yes, I remembered. Catherine slammed her palm and suddenly said, "At that time, the patrol of the controlled sea clan was only three or four meters away from us, but through the opaque cover, they couldn't detect us. ”
"Well, it's because of this characteristic. Pannis nodded, "As long as the ice is thick enough to obscure the view of the underwater sea tribes, then it will be better to completely treat them as if they do not exist." As for the sea tribes on the shore, due to the characteristics of their race, the number of controlled sea tribes on the shore is far rarer than underwater, and there are too many loopholes for us to bypass. In this way, the difficulty of our infiltration is significantly reduced, and the task is much easier to complete. ”
"Freya, come and do me a favor. Vivien suddenly raised her head from her work and said, "This circle, help me draw it with Mithril liquid, and this one next to it, use the Vulture Flower Extract Liquid to draw it." ”
"Vulture Amplification, can you stand it?" Freya said with wide eyes, "That thing has a big impact on the magic channel." ”
"Don't worry. Vivien glanced at Pennis: "What I learned from Pannis before, the special spar energy extraction technology of the circle inscription master, that method directly extracts the spar energy, the impact on the magic channel is much more than that of the vulture, and after I get used to it, my magic channel has already adapted to it, and the increase with the vulture flower is not a problem at all, and I don't feel it at all." ”
"Be careful yourself, anyway. Freya was still a little skeptical, but she leaned down next to Vivien, took out two lockets, and began to draw them on the circle that Vivien had carved.
After more than ten minutes, the two of them stood up almost at the same time and finished the work of drawing the circle. Sure enough, as Vivien calculated, the ice drifted back and forth, and did not move much from the shore. Vivien walked to the center of the circle and sat down cross-legged, took out more than twenty blue crystal bottles again, distributed a few to Catherine and Pannis, pointed in the direction of the coast and said, "Eldest sister, you help me first throw this bottle every ten meters." I remember that you have a pretty high accuracy in throwing weapons, five bottles, and a distance of sixty meters is no problem. ”
"Of course, leave it to me. Catherine nodded, "Throw it now?"
"Wait a minute. Vivien turned to Pannis and asked, "Where's your bow and arrows?" ”
"Would definitely bring. Pannis took the backpack out of the waterproof belt, and although the quadruple backpack was not too large, it was not a problem to fit the short bow. Pannis pulled out his bow and arrows and asked, "How do you shoot?"
"Tie a bottle to each arrow, after the eldest sister throws it, start from sixty meters, every thirty meters, no, arrange one every forty meters, four hundred meters, is it okay?"
"If the range is not enough, it will take a longbow, and I will not be able to learn the skill of increasing the range. Pannis shook his head and said: "If you have a short bow, even if this bow is a strong bow, if you throw it, it will be three hundred meters to the limit, and there is no way to guarantee accuracy beyond three hundred meters." ”
"I'll take care of the rest. Freya released the saucer-shaped metal golems again: "My golems have no problem controlling the distance, in terms of quantity, I calculate, well, yes, I can do it all the way to the beach." ”
"That's great. Vivien said happily: "When you are ready, put the bottles out in order, and then it will be Vivian's solo performance." ”
"But why is the distance different?" Catherine asked, "Ten meters at the beginning, forty meters at the end, is that okay?"
"It's okay, the first ten meters are because that's the earliest area of my spell range. Vivien explains, "The time is too short, and the spread will be smaller. As for the back, there was enough time for the potion to spread. ”
"Well, when will that start?" asked Catherine.
"Are you ready?" Vivien said as she watched Pannis tie the vial to the arrow and attach it to Freya's saucer-shaped golem, "Sister, you're ready to go." ”
"Then, Operation Frozen has officially begun. Catherine threw the crystal bottle in her hand with all her might. (To be continued.) )
