Chapter 147: Warm Clothes
In the distant Demon Realm, there are some extremely extreme elemental creatures.
Among them, the most special ones are the Ice Demon and the Fire Demon located at the poles of the Demon Domain.
Due to the completely different natures, the two races are far apart, and they do not interact with each other, and the other races in the Demon Domain are also happy to see them looking at each other from a distance, otherwise they will encounter a terrifying conflict that will inevitably be full of ice and fire.
Compared with the manic and belligerent fire demons, the ice demons are relatively low-key, they want to stand proudly in the ice field like the solid ice that will not melt for thousands of years, and they lack the passion to expand their territory, but they will not cause trouble to other races, let alone compete for the position of demon king.
The Ice Demon guards the top of the frozen mountain, which is said to freeze into the clouds, and legend has it that the ancestors of the Ice Demon clan are sleeping inside, and if the ice melts and the remains of their ancestors are exposed, a terrible catastrophe will destroy their race.
Therefore, even if the demon clan launched an unprecedented expedition, at the historic moment of expanding the living space on the continent, there was no trace of the ice demon in the demon army, which made the demon king Salintas also very displeased.
Of course, the ice demon is not useless, at least when it comes to using ice magic, no one knows it better than them, so in the demon domain that lacks a systematic magician cultivation mechanism, it is the most common practice to find an ice demon to learn ice magic.
The sixth prince, Vincent, once studied magic with an ice demon, this female ice demon named Xuera was born slender and agile, and under her icy face, she was born with an indifferent and leisurely sage temperament, plus she was also a scholar of Dark Tallinn, and it was not too outrageous to teach magic to the prince.
For some reason, Ninia was very concerned about the matter of the ice demon, and asked the lord for several days.
"Why did you choose her then? Because it's cost-effective."
When Ninia asked about the upcoming Ice Demon Teacher, Vincent's answer was simple.
This ice demon, who was supposed to teach ice magic, actually volunteered to teach fire magic, which means that spending the salary of hiring a magic teacher can play the role of two teachers.
Perhaps out of curiosity, or simply because it was cheap, Vincent began to learn two kinds of magic with the ice demon in a daze.
"Because of her racial talent, she doesn't have to say anything about her ice magic," Vincent first praised the Ice Demon's contributions, and then changed his words, "But the Fire Magic of the Ice Demon Sect is really hard to explain."
"Is her fire magic strong?" Ninia's curiosity was aroused, so she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it true that the ice demon can't gather fire elementals at all?"
Vincent did not deny it, and the girl read an indescribable taste from his face.
"Under normal circumstances, it is true, the ice demon does not have the affinity of the fire element at all, so it can't use fire magic...... Vincent thought for a moment before saying slowly, "But there are always some outliers who can subvert the rules set by the gods, and Sheila is such an outlier."
In the castle, both Kant, the leader of the lich, and Miss Bone, who has cared for Vincent since childhood, can testify that this ice demon can not only use fire magic, but also use it to a very high level.
If Safin, the leader of the Territory Mage Guild, can be called a great mage if he can use five fireballs in a combo, then the ice demon Shera can completely paste all five fireballs on his face when the elder gathers the first fireball.
"How could such a thing be done?" Ninia's mouth opened in disbelief, "How could the fire elemental listen to her?"
"That's why I'm scared at first, believing that an ice demon can master both ice and fire, and that she's something supernormal - I can't blame my lack of insight, even the great lich of Dark Tallinn didn't see through her tricks," Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone, "I later learned that this guy was a hanger."
According to Shela's teaching method, Vincent, who couldn't learn no matter how much he studied, became the laughing stock of other demons after many years, ridiculing him for his weak magical talent, and he couldn't learn magic even though he had a strong teacher.
In fact, if Vincent had a fire mage as a teacher, he might not be able to use fire magic instead of matches right now.
"What's going on?" Ninia asked, "Is she hiding any secrets?"
"She has two cores in her body, one is the innate ice demon core, and the other is the fire demon core that I don't know where I got it, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the ice demon to have two demon cores in symbiosis, she is an alien," Vincent sighed, "So all her fire magic is obtained through study and cultivation, and it is purely a gift from the gods."
In this case, Vincent's attempt to learn the teacher's hanging magic is simply an impossible task, and it can even be said that the harder he works, the more he delays his efforts and makes people laugh.
The most infuriating thing is that this ice demon has never told the truth, so that the sixth prince has been kept in the dark, and later the matter was revealed, and she actually said goodbye without saying goodbye.
"Master, aren't you actually angry and pursuing it?" Ninia was upset for Vincent, "Anyway, it's a felony to deceive the royal family."
"My toys, do you think I'm being laughed at just for that? There are too many similar stories to go on." Vincent turned around and laughed at himself, "I've long been used to it, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed."
"It's too much, anyway." Nini still Ya said indignantly, "It's so enviable that I've been with you for so long and don't know how to cherish it at all...... It's infuriating! In that case, it is really brazen that she dares to run to the territory to join you. Where is she now? I'll teach her a lesson for you!"
Although this is a rare loyalty, when Vincent listens to it, he hears a sour smell from it.
Thinking about the ice demon's indifference in a serious and deceitful tuition, that kind of calm attitude and resolute composure, it is really calm and calm, Ninia, as an important person in the territory, should really learn from her how to stay in danger.
"The Ice Demon Territory has encountered an ecological disaster, many Ice Demons can't survive, and they are looking for a new home, and it just so happens that I am recruiting new people in the Demon Domain, and some people want to try their luck, which is normal." Vincent pointed in the direction of the southern port and said, "I asked her to help in the port first, and when the standing cold storage is finished and her people are settled, she will leave for Silver Dragon Castle."
Yes, Vincent was not guilty of his past, and he also found his teacher and his classmates temporary jobs at the port, freezing seafood harvested by the seashore so that the doubling of production could be better preserved.
This kind of work is easy for the ice demons, as long as they get together, they can rely on magic stones to make a place a natural cold storage, which is an important part of the source storage for Vincent's territorial cold chain logistics.
"The reason why I don't pursue it is that I want to implement the policy and give preferential treatment to special talents."
Vincent picked up a thick, plain winter coat dyed green with a black fur collar and a double row of buttons from the table and held it up to Ninia.
The style is not ugly, but it is not stunning, but it is a precious item for ordinary people.
"This is a warm clothing filled with special heating materials, which is given priority to the army in winter, and if you want to keep it warm, the power of the teacher is inseparable."
"What kind of clothes is this?" The girl looked at this unaesthetic, but slender dress and asked, "I've never seen this style, and ...... How is it green ......?"
"What's so bad about green? You can call it a military coat," Vincent didn't explain, but instead hooked his hand at Ninia, "When you see the new clothes, you know what you're going to do, right?" Let's change your clothes."
