Rainey is the patriarch of the Icestream Tribe, nicknamed the Bear Slayer. He is forty-six years old this year, and he is one of the few elders among the barbarians. Rainey has always been worried about whether the Ice Flow Tribe can survive for a long time. He knew that there were many tribes of barbarians who appeared and disappeared, like a blister on the long river of history. The tundra has never been merciful to the loser, and the loser can only end up being a corpse in the ice of eternity.
So Rainey always felt that the continuation of the Ice Flow tribe was a big problem. There is nothing special about the Iceflow Tribe, and it is not a powerful tribe of barbarians in the tundra. If it can't thrive by annexing other tribes, it will end up being annexed by other tribes.
A month earlier, Rainey had been tricked by a druid and had decided to rob travelers on the trade route. He succeeded several times, and gradually looked down on ordinary humans. Compared to barbarians, ordinary humans are slender and have little strength. Their swords can be cut with axes, and their armor is fragile. For the barbarians, the business of killing people and stealing goods is far easier than chasing reindeer and other wild beasts.
Rainey even considered continuing to do the robbery as a livelihood. But Curt's appearance disrupts all plans, and Rainey realizes that he is too innocent. In front of the Council of Thousand Laws, which has become serious, the Iceflow Tribe is just a small bug. As long as the Council of the Thousand Laws raised its hand and patted it, the entire Ice Flow Tribe would be shattered.
As a result, there is only one path in front of Rainey, and that is to completely turn to Curt and work for the Council of a Thousand Laws. Fortunately, the conditions offered by the Council of a Thousand Laws were generous enough for Rainey to convince the tribesmen. However, Rainey also knew in his heart that the smooth sailing situation might not last long. He betrayed the druids, and those wild spirits would not give up.
As Rainey raised his glass and poured the wine into his mouth, a crow flew into the warm tent. It transforms into a middle-aged man with a wooden staff in front of everyone. Ignoring the six barbarian guards who had drawn their weapons, the man said proudly:
"I'm here to sanction you, Rainey the bear killer, Dagmar the skull-crushing mob. You have accepted the call of the Great Oak Tree, but you have repented. Do you think this is a forgivable sin? I want to make your death an example to be used as a warning to others. ”
"We don't have a choice. ”
Rainey muttered under his breath. He glanced at Dagmar, who was drunk and snoring on a leather mat, and knew there was no way to count on the other. So Rainey picked up the axe that was beside him and stood up heavily. He waved all his men away and ordered them to leave the tent. Then Rainey took a stance, tensed his muscles and said:
"Come on, I am a patriarch, I have my honor and duty. When there is only a dead end in front of me, I will choose the one that has more hope of survival. ”
"Stupid, you were ruined by your own short-sightedness. ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand disdainfully, causing Rainey to be nervous. When Rainey hesitated to move, considering whether to throw the axe out of his hand, the middle-aged man smiled evilly. He twisted his sun-tanned face and said with absolute confidence:
"I'll let you die a horrible death, Rainey the Bear Slayer. Perhaps Dagmar will kneel before the Great Oak again when she sees your body. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man recited the incantation. He was going to summon a myriad of thorns, and Rainey was trapped in them to wail.
A thin green line suddenly shot over and hit the middle-aged man's body. Originating from the finger of Randall the Faceless, the Green Line is immensely powerful. This is one of the most damaging spells, a level six spell, Dissociation. Dissociation can turn targets into dust, even metals as tough as mythril.
The middle-aged man roared in horror, and then the whole person turned into ashes and scattered. Randall, who had won the blow, shook his head, thinking that things were incredibly simple. He turned his head and said to Curt, who had just canceled the invisibility:
"I'm admiring you more and more, Curt. How the hell did you guess that the druids would come running for trouble with the barbarians?"
"I read a book that says there's a strategy called Striking the West. It refers to distracting the enemy with a detailed attack before moving on to the real target. I also think druids are little chicks who like perfect balance, which is the equivalent of drilling the horns. So I think the druids will make up for their mistakes first, and then they will really fight us. ”
Curt replied with a grin, secretly relieved. His plan was based on his knowledge of the Spell Overseer Society, but at best he was only about fifty percent sure. When Randall nodded admiringly, pondering every step Curt had arranged, Curt walked over to Rainey's side. He patted Rainey, who was almost collapsed with fear, and said with great appreciation:
"Your acting skills are simply amazing, Patriarch Rainey. I'm afraid that even if I am replaced, I will not be able to act more like you. ”
"Don't praise me, I almost peed my pants. If I hadn't lost the gamble, I would have liked to be like Dagmar, who would have simply drunk until he was unconscious. ”
Rainey smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly. As he slumped away, Curt began to examine the druid's relics. He picked out some magical items from the ashes, and quietly hid a crystal ball.
When Curt handed the loot to Randall, Randall deliberately left a ring uncollected. Curt had a surprised expression on his face, and listened to Randall's calm words:
"I'll turn in the remaining magical items and let the senior mages of the Prophecy Department look for clues left on them. As for this Wind Elemental Ring, I think it's better for you to keep it. It can summon a powerful wind elemental to help you in battle, making it a useful item. ”
Randall's favoritism was unexpected by Curt, and Curt felt embarrassed. After some politeness, Curt took out a roll of a general money order of considerable denomination and shoehorned it into Randall. Never treating friends badly is Curt's greatest strength, and his ability to get to this point today is inseparable from his style of never eating alone.
After everyone else had gone to rest, Curt returned to his tent and took out the crystal ball. He skillfully activated the crystal ball with the base of the memory stone and began to read the messages hidden inside.
A few minutes later, Curt blessed himself with invisibility and slipped out of the barbarian camp. He activated the flying bracelet and cruised through the air, quickly finding a bonfire. It was four druids gathered together, waiting for their accomplices to return to teach the barbarians a lesson.
Curt landed silently, standing at the right distance. One of the druids stood up, looking around suspiciously, as if sensing something. Before he could speak, silver burst out of Curt's eyes. Curt transforms psychic power into a level 3 psychic ability, Time Jump.
The four druids were simultaneously cut off from the real world and transported to the future eighteen seconds later with the campfire. Curt then flicked his earrings and teleported to the place where the druids had disappeared. He dug through the snow as fast as he could, making a snow pit. Curt then pulled out six bottles of explosive potions and put them into the snow pit, then teleported himself twenty meters away.
When the druids returned to reality, one of them felt weak on the bottom of his foot and stepped on the bottle of the explosive potion. Before he could look down, a violent explosion occurred. The druids screamed and were thrown into the air, or their flesh flew to death. Curt didn't hesitate to shoot a fireball in pursuit, determined to kill them all. - Because he knew one of the four druids, whose name was Hawke, and he was the leader of the Sorcery Overseer Society.
After a series of attacks, Curt was surprised to see that there was still a figure standing in the blazing firelight. Hawke was covered in bruises, but he still poked his oak cane against the ground, supporting his weight. His bloodshot eyes widened, and he stared at Curt and said:
"Little ghost, you really betrayed us! I knew it would be like this, no matter what McDonough said back then, I should have strangled you to death. ”
"I used to genuinely want to work for the Magic Overseer Society, until you made it clear that you didn't want to accept me, and even wanted to frame me. ”
Curt replied calmly and bowed slightly. He looked at Hawke gloatingly, and whispered softly:
"Ever since you casually found an excuse to sell me to Abys, claiming that you wanted me to infiltrate the Thousand Laws City, I swore to kill you. Psionics are unnatural, so you druids never see me as a human being. I'm glad I survived from Abyss, so it's your luck. It's fair, don't tell me that you didn't think you would be beaten in the opposite way before you hit someone. ”
In Hawke's roar, Curt manifested a psychic ability. He was about to crush his opponent with a psychic blast, but countless clouds of snow suddenly surged up, forming a defensive wall in front of Hawke. With the level 6 magic spell, the activated snow began to take effect, and a giant snowman with a height of fifteen meters appeared in front of Curt. Curt calmly took out the Soul Binding Gem and summoned Spirit Bear. He also blessed Spirit Bear with the Giant Magic, turning Spirit Bear into a giant beast ten meters tall and twenty meters long.
"Up, Babe. ”
Curt gave a brief command, and Spirit Bear pounced on him and mingled with the snowman. In the midst of the earth-shattering fight, Curt manifested a psychic ability that he had never used before, and his mind was split. This psychic ability is extremely powerful, but it has after-effects. Unfortunately, Curt didn't have a choice, because he was facing a real powerhouse, a druid who could cast the six gods of the ranks.
Even if there is only one breath left, Hawke is a formidable opponent. He knew Curt very well, just as Curt knew Hawke very well.
