Chapter 12: Storm Giant
Alan followed the sound and turned back.
His eyes met the blonde and blue-eyed beautiful girl, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Next to the eldest lady, there were also three young men.
Am, Phil, and Sean are also trialists from the Randolph family, elementals.
"Pamela, why are you here?"
Tanya asked in surprise.
"Huh...... That's the question I want to ask you. β
Pamela's smile was still so domineering.
Tanya frowned, turned to Alan and whispered, "Pamela, they shouldn't be the helpers you found, right?" β
"It has nothing to do with me, and I'm also curious, how did she know that the dragon clan and the giant clan are at war today." Alan replied in a low voice.
There was a fragrant wind wafting around.
Pamela ignored Tanya's "hen protection" eyes and approached Ellen, smiling at the corners of her lips with a hint of banter in her eyes.
"Alan, you tell me first, whoever asked you to come, I'll tell you which friend you got the information from."
Of course, Alan can't reveal the details of Fengyue.
I wondered.
It is unlikely that Pamela will have any contact with the Holy Spirit Society, so there is only one channel left to know the information about today's battle in advance.
If nothing else, Pamela must have been in a relationship with a dragon sorcerer and shared trial information.
Alan only hopes that her informant should not be Phoebus, otherwise he will inevitably be angry in the future.
"Refuse to exchange information with me? Hehe...... Cheapskate! β
Pamela pouted.
"I'm not as stingy as you, I'll give you both a piece of advice for free."
"Your ogre bloodline, the Minotaur bloodline, is too humble in the giant society to be qualified to enter the castle and participate in battle meetings, so you can only wait outside the gate to receive orders."
"The four of us have all obtained the blood of the Djinn."
"The djinn, a distant relative of the Giant Clan, is a local caste, equivalent to the third estate, similar to the Stone Giant, the Frost Giant, and the Fire Giant."
"So, the four of you are eligible for the combat meeting?" Tanya asked with anger in her temper.
"Barely enough."
Pamela tucked a strand of sideburns behind her ear, pretending to be calm and showing off.
"Although our status is not high, we can't sit at the same table with the Cloud Giant officers, at least we can stand and listen and understand the battle plan for the first time."
"If you're kind to me, I'll be generous enough to share information with you."
"How else am I going to be polite to you?" Tanya asked coldly.
"At the very least, when I'm talking to Alan in private, you should be sensible to stay away from us."
"Phew! You dream! Tanya couldn't bear it anymore, "Pamela, I don't know what your intentions are against Alan, but as long as I'm alive, you're doomed to fail!" β
"Huh...... Madam Vice Dean, this is not up to you! β
Pamela showed that trademark, extremely flattering look of smiling but not smiling.
Tanya gritted her teeth and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Alan.
"Senior sister, if you don't have the same knowledge as her, let's enter the castle hall and participate in the battle meeting."
"Senior brother...... I'm afraid that the bloodlines of the two of us are not qualified to enter the Wangcheng Conference Hall. β
Tanya is no longer convinced, but she still has to admit that Pamela didn't lie to her.
What kind of attitude the Cloud Giant officer had towards the lower castes, she had already experienced first-hand in the recruiting office.
"It's okay, just change to a more honorable status."
"A different identity?" Tanya was stunned, "You mean to transform with magic?" However, the application materials ......"
"On the registration materials, I wrote the bloodline of the Storm Giant, and the eldest sister of the recruiter didn't read it carefully at all, so she stamped it for me." Alan said calmly.
Take Tanya's hand and hide in a secluded corner.
Thinking back to the physical characteristics of the Storm Giant, he began to transform.
Allen's ogre wizard bloodline, with its own transformation ability.
Can transform into any giant no more than six meters tall.
The reason why the limit of six meters is only because the height of an adult ogre wizard usually does not exceed this standard.
Allen's Heavenly Beamon bloodline also has the ability to transform and can be transformed into the form of a roc.
After the fusion of the two bloodlines, the transformation ability is compatible and strengthened.
Now, Eren can turn into a giant at will, no more than thirty meters tallβthe average height of an adult Beamon behemothβat will.
The Storm Giant, admittedly tall and mighty, with an average height of no more than twenty meters, is within the scope of Allen's transformation.
In the blink of an eye, Eren was transformed into a young and handsome Storm Giant.
Violet skin, silver-gray eyes, and a warlock's robe that dances in the wind.
The chic style of gestures is vividly imitated.
Tanya's eyes straightened when she saw it, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
"Senior brother...... Are you sure you'll get away with it? β
"My transformation talent, similar to the 4-ring 'Transfiguration Technique', perfectly imitates the Storm Giant at the species level, and I can't find fault with the bloodline detection, but I don't have the Storm Giant's spell-casting ability, after all, it depends on the awakening of the day after tomorrow."
Alan said unhurriedly.
"The big war is coming, the situation is urgent, no one cares about these idle things, and it is not a big problem to get by."
"Okay...... Even if you can get through, what should I do? β
Tanya shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, her face full of depression.
"I can't be a storm giant...... Why don't you enter the Wangcheng Chamber alone and I'll wait outside?" β
"Senior sister, didn't you awaken the 'Transformation Technique' and the 'Transformation Giant Technique'? The combination of these two spells can transform my appearance and accompany me into the city. β
"How did it change?" Tanya asked, confused.
The 2-ring "Transformation Technique" can only transform into a creature with a bloodline similar to the caster's own bloodline.
Tanya is first and foremost human, and there is also the blood of the Giant Horn Minotaur and the Petrified Brute Bull.
She can transform into any human, including a man, as well as a Bighorn Minotaur or a Petrified Bull.
However, none of these changes could elevate her caste among the giants, causing the guards to look down on her.
"Senior sister, you first bless the 'Transformation Giant Technique', and then turn into a huge bull."
"I'll take you back to the castle gate, and I'll say you're my mount."
"My pretty boy, as a storm giant warlock, it makes sense to subdue the rare giant beast Iron Armored Brute Bull and domesticate it into a mount."
"With my noble status, riding an iron-armored bull into the city is the treatment I deserve, senior sister, what do you think?"
"I think...... You kid just owe a beating! β
Tanya's forehead burst with veins, and her fists became hard.
Annoyed to angry, she really couldn't think of any other way.
Let Alan go into the city alone, and she was worried that Pamela would bully her junior brother in this way and that while she was not there to take care of her.
Thinking of the terrible consequences that may occur when Ellen and Pamela are alone, Tanya has a sense of crisis!
Out of precautionary considerations, I had to endure the embarrassment and reluctantly accept this bad idea from Alan!
Seeing the reluctance of his senior sister, Alan couldn't help but recall that he was in the meditation world at the beginning.
I was also forced by my sister Kelly to become a panther and use her as a mount.
Therefore, he can understand Tanya's feelings.
However, this did not prevent him from bullying Tanya.
The cold and dignified elder sister on weekdays has become a cow to ride for herself, which is also a kind of fun outside the boudoir.
"Damn! I was ridden by you at night, and I was ridden by you during the day, when will it be my turn to turn over and be the master! β
Tanya grumbled wryly.
"Senior sister, as long as you are interested, I can turn into a monster for you to ride at any time, day and night, I don't mind."
Alan smiled and comforted.
"Phew! I don't want to play this perverted game with you! Shame on you! β
Tanya's face was full of embarrassment.
β¦β¦
A moment later.
The transformed Allen, riding the mighty and domineering iron-armored bull, returned to the castle gate.
"My name is Liang Zai, and I am a trialist from Origin City, and I am also a sixth-order Storm Giant Warlock."
"With my noble blood, I think I am qualified to sit at the table with the generals and participate in the battle meeting against the dragons."
Alan sat on the back of the bull and looked down proudly at the giant guards.
The guards were stunned by his momentum and were at a loss for a moment.
The giants around him, including Pamela, were also stunned.
"Huh!" Pamela burst out laughing and muttered to herself, "It's you, Alan, only you kid can do this kind of daring absurdity!" β
"Miss, do we want to expose his disguise?"
Phil, the fire djinn, asked Pamela in a low voice.
Pamela glanced at him.
The cold eyes made Phil's heart freak!
"What's in it for us to debunk Alan's tricks?"
"This ......," Phil was momentarily speechless.
"Don't come up with such bad ideas that harm others and yourself in the future!"
Pamela said in a deep voice.
Phil shuddered.
From the eldest lady's reprimand, he heard the anger that he couldn't hide.
This made him wonder why he was so angry that even if he had a bad idea that harmed others and himself, it would damage Allen, and it wouldn't affect Pamela's own interests, why would she be so angry?
It seems that Pamela cares more about Alan than the attitude she shows on her face......
The news of the visit of the majestic Storm Giant Warlock spread quickly, alarming Norman, the garrison of the royal city.
This tall and elegant cloud giant general, dressed in silver armor, has a gray and smooth complexion, and his long hair is tied into a high ponytail, which flutters without wind.
The most striking thing is that the Norman general wears a beautiful silver mask on his face.
"Silver Mask" is the nickname of His Excellency the General.
Allen jumped off the back of the ox and looked at the Norman general who was out to greet him.
It's natural to think of all kinds of "masked people" in anime works in the previous life.
The common characteristic of such characters is that they pretend to be coercive.
From this point of view, the "silver mask" Norman may also be a pretending criminal who is not very easy to deal with.
The Norman general stopped and looked at Allen over his shoulders.
Pale golden eyes, revealing a hint of suspicion.
"Your Excellency General, I was born in an ancient family of warlocks, and my noble bloodline can be traced back to the Bronze Age......"
Norman suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Allen's self-introduction.
"Huh! There is a possibility of falsification in family history and bloodline, which is not credible. β
"My esteemed trialist friend, if you want to enter the Wangcheng Conference Hall, you have to show some real skills."
Tanya, who has turned into an ironclad bull, can't help but be secretly anxious when she hears that General Norman openly questioned Allen's identity fraud.
"I told you a long time ago, don't play such clever little tricks! You didn't listen to me, are you embarrassed now? β
Tanya counted down Alan through "his heart".
Unexpectedly, this stinky brother has obviously been exposed, but he still pretends to be indifferent.
Tanya watched from the side and stomped her feet.
Alan patted the bull's head and reassured the senior sister that she didn't have to worry.
A test of your real skills, right?
Alan smiled.
Real gold is not afraid of fire.
said earlier that he would get the corresponding treatment with his real skills, so why bother to pretend to be a high caste.
"General Norman, how do you want me to prove myself?"
"It's very simple, just cast a 6-ring magic, thunder, electricity or wind!"
"Don't tell me, as a sixth-order warlock who has awakened the bloodline of the Storm Giant, you won't be able to 'chain lightning'!"
Silver mask, cold voice.
The 6-ring spell "Chain Lightning" is the skill of the Storm Giant.
Storm Giant Bloodline Warlock, promoted to the sixth order, has a ninety percent chance of awakening this magic.
If Alan said that he was the exception to the 10%, I am afraid that Norman and others would not be convinced.
Eren doesn't chain lightning, but that's okay.
"Chain lightning? Hehe...... Your Excellency General, aren't you humiliating me by asking me to perform this kind of rotten street magic that any Storm Giant would have?! β
Norman was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't mean that, but you have to prove yourself worthy of my courtesy." β
"I can prove myself, but the chain lightning is not worth my public rehearsal and self-depreciation."
"So, how are you going to prove yourself?" Norman asked coldly.
"I have a 7th-order thunder martial art that is stronger than 'Chain Lightning', General Norman, do you dare to go down in person, investigate, am I bragging?"
Alan looked directly at Norman, undisguised as provocative.
So many people were watching, waiting to see the show, including the trialists from outside.
Norman doesn't give Allen face, but he himself loves face, and of course he can't be cowardly.
Gritting his teeth, Masashi responded to Allen's challenge: "I can accept your challenge!" β
Isn't it a 7th-order thunder-based martial art?
As a cloud giant, Norman has level 7 reactance and level 7 lightning resistance (sonic resistance), and is confident that he is invincible.
The other party may really be a warlock who awakens the bloodline of the Storm Giant, but it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that this kid is a trialist from the outside world!
General Norman, I don't like these foreign mercenaries!
They don't listen to commands, they make their own decisions, and for the sake of profit, they can even betray their camp and take refuge in the evil dragon!
Trialists count one as one, and they are all nasty thorns!
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't dare to offend Origin City, General Norman really wanted to issue a military order to prohibit the trialists from entering the battlefield of giants and dragons to stir up trouble!
The reason why he was unkind to Allen from the beginning and openly questioned his bloodline is also a manifestation of this xenophobia.
The young and vigorous warlock responded to his doubts in the most vehement way, but instead gave him a good opportunity to make an example in public and stand up to the other trialists.
General Norman, of course, will not miss this opportunity.
Still with his arms crossed around his chest, he put on a relaxed and freehand posture, waiting for Alan to make a move.
In the matter of pretending to be coerced, Allen pursues a principle.
It's best for everyone not to pretend, be honest with each other, and communicate on an equal footing.
If you have to pretend to be forced, then don't blame me for slapping me in the face!
Syllable!
In front of everyone's eyes, Alan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The chic action attracts earth-shattering thunder!
Bang!!
The giants who were watching from close were caught off guard and were shocked on the spot!
I covered my ears together, and my face was full of horror!
My mind goes blank!
Am, Phil, and Sean couldn't help but change their faces and their hearts were pounding.
The thunderous roar triggered by Allen's snap of his fingers was deeply shocking!
Pamela's face was solemn.
Looking at Allen's eyes, it added a bit of subtlety.
Opposite Allen, General Norman has been knocked out by Thunder.
The silver mask on his face, shattered piece by piece.
Revealing a ...... It looks quite ordinary.
Norman's appearance can only be said to be not ugly, and he does not have a face value commensurate with his status.
Wearing a mask, he successfully creates a mysterious temperament and induces people to guess that he is a beautiful man.
At this time, the mask shattered, lost its mysterious aura, and was immediately beaten back to its original form.
The crowd that witnessed his true face could not help but feel a sense of disappointment.
"Shhhh It turns out that Norman, who is pretentious, looks average, not as handsome as me! β
There are not a few giants who have this kind of thought on the scene.
Invisibly, the awe of this general has also decreased by a few points.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Norman got up in embarrassment, ashamed and angry!
"You kid is cheating!"
"That trick you just made...... It's not a pure 7th-order thunder martial art, it also hides the force field attribute! β
Norman's lightning resistance can counteract the 7th order lightning bombardment, but it can't block the impact of the force field.
was careless for a while, suffered a big loss, and was embarrassed in public.
Alan also laughed at his accusations.
"What? In front of so many witnesses, you can't afford to lose, and you refuse to admit that my move is a thunder martial art? β
"I'll admit it's a thunder martial art, but it's not exactly!"
Norman's angry defense, to the ears of the onlookers, confirmed the mentality that he could not afford to lose, and attracted a lot of boos.
The low-caste giants, in particular, have long been unaccustomed to this tricky pretending to be a coercion, hiding in the crowd and making a coax, and they are not afraid of being retaliated against by Norman.
"Your Excellency General, I have never emphasized that this move is a simple thunder martial art, and the friends present can testify for me."
"In addition to the thunder attribute, there are other characteristics, doesn't it mean that I am stronger than ordinary storm giants and more worthy of your respect?"
"In fact, after Your Excellency was knocked down by me, he was not seriously injured by vomiting blood on the spot, and he was able to stand up and speak, which is already the result of the mercy of my subordinates."
"May I ask Your Excellency, with this 'snap of a finger thunder', am I qualified to enter the Royal City Council Hall as a Storm Giant and get the treatment that the highest caste should enjoy?"
Allen's questioning puts Norman in an embarrassing position.
Originally, he wanted to use Alan as a stepping stone and stand up in public.
Kill the sharp spirit of the alien trialists, and warn them to obediently obey the command and not make trouble.
The result backfired, and he became a stepping stone for the other party's prestige.
The mocking gazes of the crowd hurt his self-esteem deeply.
Norman a hundred reluctantly bowed to Allen.
However, in front of so many people, speaking doesn't count, doesn't it seem narrow-minded and lacks a tolerant stomach?
While he was struggling, a teleportation light rose beside him.
The priestess who had presided over the sacrifice in the temple before walked out of the teleportation array.
Norman hurriedly bowed and saluted the priestess.
The Storm Giant Priest rarely interferes in military and political affairs, but this does not mean that his power is hollowed out.
Cloud Giant, just an agent hired by the Storm Giant, is like a manager of a large company.
When it comes to big things, it is still up to the major shareholders to make up their minds.
This priestess is the majority shareholder who usually doesn't care about things.
Norman was a beneficiary of the giant caste system, but he himself had to strictly abide by it and not dare to be rude to priestesses of a higher caste than himself.
"Priest, there's some trouble here, don't worry, I'll take care of it......"
"General Norman, no need to explain." The priestess waved her hand, "I already know the ins and outs of the matter. β
"So, ...... you mean?"
"This pretty little brother is a descendant of our Storm Giants, yes, of course he is eligible to be courtesy."
The priestess confirmed Allen's identity in public, so there was no room for questioning in this matter.
Alan thanked the priestess and led Tanya into the royal chamber.
Norman still couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and when the crowd of onlookers dispersed, he couldn't help but whisper to the priestess.
"Priestess, are you sure that boy is a Storm Giant Warlock? I always felt like something wasn't quite right with him......"
"Alright, don't worry about the details."
The priestess interrupted him impatiently.
"Norman, you still haven't grasped the crux of the whole thing."
"It doesn't matter if Pretty Boy is a real storm giant or not."
"The important thing is that Pretty Boy is strong, we need his strength and use him to fight the dragon!"
"It doesn't matter if he is an imposter or not, as long as he is on our side and can bring us benefits, he can tolerate it."
"Conversely, if he is on the side of the dragon, even if he is my own brother, I refuse to admit that he is the true Storm Giant! Got it?! β
"Norman, don't make a big mistake in order to save your face, and force this reinforcement to the side of the evil dragon!"
The priestess warned him sharply, sending a chord to Norman's heart.
Hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "Lord Priest, I understand! β
"It's good to understand."
The priestess nodded, and the figure disappeared into the teleportation array.
β¦β¦
Norman adjusted his mind and returned to the chamber.
Respectfully, invite Alan to take a seat.
Alan accepted the favor with ease.
During the meeting, I accidentally saw Pamela and others standing in the corner of the hall listening, like a group of minions, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Panthers is a good man, repaying grievances with virtue, and adults don't remember villains.
"Your Excellency, those four warlocks are all my friends, can you let them sit down and rest and save their strength for the upcoming battle."
"Since it's your friend, of course it's fine!"
Norman instructed his men to bring chairs for Pamela, Am, Phil, and Sean.
"Also, my mount can't be disadvantaged."
Alan stroked the iron-armored bull that his senior sister had turned into and made another request.
"From night to day, I have been riding, hard work for her."
"Please take a fluffy blanket and spread it at my feet, so that my heifer can rest on the blanket."
