"It's been a while...... Luke came to Dale and pulled out a squirrel made of ice, "I just caught it on the way here, so I'll give it to you as a gift for the Frozen Hunt." ”

The squirrel was created by ice magic, and its whole body is crystal clear, and it looks smart and cute. After Dale stretched out her hand, the ice squirrel jumped into her palm, and then climbed up and down clinging to her clothes, causing Dale to giggle.

"You're in luck. When I came, I saw critters made of ice magic, but I didn't catch them. Dale grabbed the ice squirrel in her hand, the surface was cold but not irritating, and it would not melt due to heat. Dale teased the ice squirrel, and suddenly remembered something, she let go of the squirrel and took out a long box from her pocket, the box was wrapped with a ribbon and a bow on it: "This is my Winter Hunting Day gift to you, I hope you like it......"

"What is it? Can I open it now? ”

"Of course you can ......"

As Luke unpacks the box, Mina salutes Dale, "Winter Hunt harvest!" Hello, Miss Jasmine, I am Mr. Luke's maid Mina, and I am very glad to see you.

You...... It's beautiful! ”

Dale noticed Mina, who was standing next to Luke, "Hello, Mina, and I wish you a good harvest on the Winter Hunting Day. ”

Luke introduces Dale to Dale, "Mina lives in the Underground Steam City and accepts my employment for family reasons. She took care of me in Dongdu, and she was a very hardworking child.

This...... Did you make it yourself? ”

Luke pulled out a magic wand from the box. It is made of firewood, and it is slightly hot in my hand. The handshake part is embedded with hundreds of magic stone particles, each of which is carefully polished into a standard fifty-eight facets, which can transmit the released magic power into the magic core inside the magic wand with minimal loss.

The surface of the magic wand is carved in a hollow relief to carve out circles of blooming jasmine flowers. Luke slightly released some magic power to trigger the magic core to glow, and the jasmine flower was clearly layered, light and dark in the light illumination, just like a real flower.

Dale said confidently, "Of course I made it myself." I saw that you didn't have a proper magic wand, so I tried to make one. I did well in my prop-making class, and I learned the art of carving from Sister Agatha...... Do you like it? ”

Luke held his magic wand and threw out a magic firework with ease.

It is much faster than releasing magic with bare hands, and it is also easier to master the output of mana, improving the control of magic.

Before, Luke really didn't think about getting himself a magic wand to take advantage of.

He has the Greedy Red Dragon Spear, a wand with a sharp wand on the handle, which is a superb spell-casting item in itself.

However, the greedy red dragon spear is too conspicuous, and taking it out is equivalent to showing its identity. Now there is a magic wand that matches your fire attributes, which is very suitable for use in some specific occasions.

"Of course I do!" The magic released attracted the attention of the people around him, and Luke immediately tucked the magic wand into his sleeve, and then said to Dale, "You gave me such a precious thing, but I gave you the ice squirrel you caught on the way, it shows that I am too insincere." ”

Dale grabbed the ice squirrel and said, "No, I like your gift. You know...... I am not short of precious things.

I just want to let go of my identity and have a good time with this exotic festival. ”

"Then let's celebrate the Winter Hunting Festival together. Mina rented a sleigh for us, and the most lively place is on the glacier just outside the city. Let's go...... Taste the food of the winter capital first, then fish and hunt, and then go to the underground steam city in the evening. ”

……

Abandoned factories.

Erabam smashed through a wall of ice with all his might, then stumbled out. She was bloody, her left hand was torn off, and her eyes were full of fear. But before she could get out of the hole, something swooped down on her from behind. She screamed and struggled, but to no avail, her body was dragged back again, and soon she was silent.

Inside the factory, the clear sky came out of the formation, the secret technique was lifted, and the angry mechanical beasts collapsed into scattered parts one by one.

The ice cave agents who were the prey were all dead, and they were miserable and could not find a single intact body.

There were frozen blood stains everywhere.

Jenverni followed behind Clear Sky, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any remaining enemies. At the same time, he said: "Professor Sunny Sky, Erabam should send the news of Princess Dale leaving the academy, and there will be agents from the ice cave here soon."

What should we do next? ”

Clear Sky walked over to Erabim's body, the girl was no longer breathing, she was lying on her back on her own ice blood, her eyes open all with a yearning for life.

"There's no need to worry about Princess Dale, I've already sent the sheriff to follow. Go back to the academy and don't let the illusion golem I made be noticed by anyone else. ”

"Yes, Professor Weathersky. Aren't you going back? ”

"I still have a little more to do to go to the Underground Steam City. Keep it as it is, let the people in the ice cave see what happened to me, and they'll know how to get along with us. ”

"I see, Professor Weathersky."

Shortly after Clear Sky and Jenverny left, a team of ice cave agents cautiously approached the abandoned factory.

The news came from Erabim, the insider in the Winter Capital Magical Steam Academy, that "Princess Dale has left the Academy", and Bartlecaf immediately led a team to arrest Dale.

However, there was no news for a long time.

The subsequent ice cave agents found the abandoned factory according to the clues left by Bartlecalf, but the smell of blood that the ice and snow could not suppress made the support come to the ice cave agents realize that something was wrong.

They cautiously approached the target building from all directions, and then swarmed in at the same time.

Then I was stunned by the scene in front of me, and my limbs were numb.

Even though they were all professionally trained agents, they were also frightened by this Shura field.

What's really going on here?

Who attacked Bartlecalf's team?

At this time, Clear Sky had already entered the underground steam city on the rail car.

The underground steam city is also enveloped in a strong festive atmosphere. Even if the production tasks of the factories and mines are tight, they must have a holiday today, and the workers from all over the world have gathered in the steam city today to enjoy a rare day of leisure with a meager salary.

Dressed in a cloak and hood, Clear Sky walks to the tower in the center of the city, and then takes the elevator to the bar at the top of the tower.

There were more people in the bar than in the past.

Riotous music was playing on the stage, and a "man" hidden in the shadows was singing loudly in a hoarse voice.

The locomotive race is shown on a large screen overhead.

There will be no gaps in today's races, one game after another, and all the professional racers will decide an overall winner today.

Clear Sky walks over to the bar and lifts her hood, and a beautiful elf immediately catches the eye of those around her, only no one associates her with Clear Sky.

"Beautiful Miss Elf, you must be here for the first time, this is for your ......" The bartender poured a glass of wine for Clear Sky, and then said, "Would you like a bottle of 'Carnival Night'?" It allows your five senses to be improved like a fly, and you can enjoy wonderful sensations that you can't normally achieve. ”

Clear Sky picked up the wine glass and shook the wine inside, and said, "Carnival night is useless to me, its improvement has little effect on my five senses now.

Tell the tyrant, and say I have come as promised. ”

The bartender also thought about pulling the elf into the motorcycle gambling, but the smile on his face immediately disappeared after hearing the tyrant's name. He saluted the clear sky, "Can I know your name?" ”

"Tell him what I look like, and he knows who I am."

"Yes, beautiful elf lady."

The bartender found someone to take over his shift, and then quickly ran back to the backstage.

Clear Sky sipping free liquor and staring at the magic projection above.

There was a Nidic.

Since finishing first last time out by an overwhelming margin, the Redhead Weasel Nidick has become the most sought after rider by all sides. Someone has to sponsor him a bottle of "condensed carnival night" in every race, and although he didn't have the best results at all, he was able to finish in the top three every time and win multiple first prizes.

Today Nydic is also the favourite to win the Winter Hunt Championship.

As Nydic drove past the finish line, the atmosphere of the bar was brought to a climax. The bartender also came to the clear sky at this time: "Come with me, Miss Elf." ”

Clear Sky drank the last of his drinks, then followed the bartender backstage to the bar, into an enclosed private room.

It's just a one-way pane of glass from the lively bar.

The tyrant was lying on a large couch, a large-bore wine glass in his hand, enjoying the soul energy coming from the bar.

Qingkong took off his cloak and threw it on the hanger next to him, and then sat down on the sofa: "The soul energy here is all owned by Chiyan, you are so sucking, aren't you afraid that he will find you trouble?" ”

The tyrant waved his hand to let the bartender who had brought him clear sky out, and closed the door with his hand.

"Although there is a lot of soul energy here, it is all divergent free leftovers, and it is okay to make snacks and eat, not a big meal. Red Flame won't let me harvest my soul here and eat a little snack from him, can he still trouble me? ”

The demon's territorial awareness is very strong, and Red Flame has given Luke a lot of face by tolerating another demon staying in his territory, but he will never allow the tyrant to hunt in his territory.

The tyrant is now a tiger in Pingyang, has no territory of his own, and cannot leave the winter capital, so he can only steal this free soul energy.

Sunny Sky didn't bother to ask the demon about his soul food fetish, so she asked the tyrant, "Meteorite said that you have something to do with me, and it has something to do with the World Tree." ”

Speaking of the World Tree, the tyrant immediately stopped sucking soul energy.

"How much do you know about the World Tree and artifacts?"

"Don't take my words, I'm here to see your attitude."

The tyrant is sure that Clear Sky knows about the relationship between the World Tree and the artifact, and the lack of power makes him decide not to keep Clear Sky a secret. Only by regaining the power of the artifact can he be the tyrant he once was, no matter what the artifact is.

The tyrant looked at the demon red flame who was singing the stage, and after a long exhale, he said, "You should already know that the reason why the five ancient civilizations destroyed the World Tree was because the World Tree had the potential to become an artifact.

While the World Tree has no interest in becoming an artifact, it is an existence that upsets the balance of ancient warfare. Both sides want to get it, but they are afraid that the other will get it. In the scramble, I don't know who started attacking the World Tree, and then all five ancient civilizations launched an attack on it......"

The tyrant tells Clear Sky about the war that took place on the ancestral grassland, and also confirms Clear Sky's speculation about the World Tree and the artifact.

“…… Now the five ancient civilizations have not stopped searching for the lost artifact. Therefore, the revival of the World Tree will definitely arouse the peeps of the five ancient civilizations. If there is a fight for the World Tree again, it is possible that the new World Tree will be destroyed once again. ”

After listening to the tyrant's story, Clear Sky asked, "The last time you proposed to study the World Tree, do you have a way to transform it into an artifact?" ”

"Of course I didn't ......," the tyrant said helplessly, "The power of the artifact is the interpretation of the world's origin energy, and the language of each artifact is different.

Shimmering Golden Language, Demon Language, Angel Language, Dragon Language, Shadow Language, and reciting the corresponding language communication artifact, you can release the magic magic.

You are a researcher of secret arts, and divine arts are actually a kind of secret arts, but the release is not limited by mysterious items.

In that war, none of us grabbed the World Tree, so naturally we didn't even know what language it used, let alone know how to turn it into an artifact. ”

"You don't know the language used in the World Tree, how can you study it?"

The tyrant said melancholy, "The greatest gain I got from that war was...... Not only did I master the Demon Language, but I also learned four other ancient languages. Mastering the language allows you to communicate with the corresponding artifact, but you are limited to the full power of the artifact. ”

After saying that, the tyrant also demonstrated his outstretched hand.

A jerky and incomprehensible sentence was recited, and a ball of holy flame was born in the tyrant's palm.

The burning of the Holy Flame caused the tyrant to immediately stop casting the spell, and he shook his hand and said, "I know what magic the opponent is going to use when I hear more on the battlefield, and I will slowly learn it." Ancient languages have a lot in common, and I say that studying the World Tree is just an attempt.

If it succeeds...... Even if the magic system based on it is not suitable for me, it is much stronger than what I am now. ”

"It sounds like you're just trying your luck, but I don't think you're lucky. If the five ancient civilizations knew that I was working on a way to turn the World Tree into an artifact, they would definitely attack the Moonlight Court. ”

"If you don't study, they won't attack? Transform the World Tree into an artifact as soon as possible so it cannot be destroyed.

Let me go to the Moonlight Court, and I will try to hide my presence as much as possible. ”

Clear Sky said, "No, as long as you are in the Moonlight Royal Court, you will definitely be noticed by others." Until the World Tree is transformed into an artifact, the five ancient civilizations will not be able to detect anything unusual there. ”

The tyrant said, "If I don't go to the Moonlight Royal Court, how can I communicate with the World Tree?" ”

Clear Sky smiled and asked, "Do you know why the Moonlight Royal Court is called the Moonlight Royal Court?" ”

"The recovery of the new generation of the world has something to do with the moon."

"Yes, the new generation of the World Tree has been loved by the moon, and I have the privilege of becoming the queen of the moonlight. Let me tell you a secret, under the moonlight, no matter where I am, I can communicate with the World Tree.

The study of the World Tree is still the safest place in Angry Waves City.

I was able to secretly set up a group for the study of ancient languages at the Oulu Academy. By the way, I also have an expert in ancient languages, who can learn ancient languages from scratch without anyone to teach them. ”
