Not paying attention to Strand's expression, Lees focused his attention on the precious materials in front of him.

After agreeing with Uncle Joyce, Lees was ready to leave Icepeak City.

But since they have come here, they can't be paid at all.

Li Si didn't plan to ask for magic props from the Dillon Kingdom or anything, thinking that even if it was the collection of the Ice Castle Palace, it couldn't compare to the magic workshop warehouse of [Flame of Judgment].

In that case, it is better to let Strain prepare some metal materials that are unique to the Kingdom of Dillon.

I didn't expect Stran to prepare so much!

The presence of ordinary metal was not seen at all.

The cold iron that has been tempered and forged, the star sand that emits a faint light, the red copper that is bright red and pure, and so on.

These are relatively precious special metal materials, more precious than ordinary copper ore and iron ore, and the affinity for extraordinary strength is also relatively high, and they are widely used in the forging of low-level and intermediate-level magic equipment, even in the top-level forging.

These materials filled more than half of the boxes.

Although there were a lot of them, the most precious thing in front of Li Si was not these, but the treasures contained in some special iron boxes.

Lees opened a wooden box placed on top, opened the lid, and was greeted by a standard rectangular piece of silver metal.

Gently taking it out, the weight of this piece of silver metal was only half that of the same volume of black iron.

Lees' fingers holding the piece of metal exerted some force, but only a shallow mark was left on the metal block.

The magic used flowed smoothly through this piece of silvery metal, barely feeling any obstruction or obscurity.

Sure enough, it's Mithril!

Mithril is an extremely precious magical metal with a silvery-white appearance, a metal that is stronger than steel but as light as a goose feather.

Mithril is said to have been discovered and given by the dwarves, meaning "silver full of mysteries".

The reason for this is that Mithril is the metal with the highest degree of affinity for magic, except for the special creations of the gods and certain unique beings.

Almost all high-level magic equipment has to add a small amount of Mithril to increase the magical affinity of the equipment.

In addition to forging magical equipment, Mithril is also an indispensable material in many magical studies, and is also used in high-level magic golems and magic circles.

While being so widely used, Mithril is indeed quite scarce in production, and is only found in a few associated ores of magical metals.

This is also the reason why Mithril is so precious, few people will choose to trade Mithril for gold coins, and they all choose treasures of the same level to barter.

Generally, when creating magic equipment, adding a few grams of Mithril can well improve the magic affinity of this equipment, and it is also the basis of high-level magic equipment.

But the Mithril in Lis's hand weighed a pound.

In addition to the piece in Li Si's hand, there were two wooden boxes in front of him that also contained Mithril.

There are several other types of magic metals of the same level.

Silver-blue Adamantite Gold, heavy and extremely strong, is enough to greatly increase the sharpness and hardness of the weapon, and is the top magic metal of the same level as Mithril.

Dragon-patterned iron, which naturally forms a pattern similar to dragon scales, is the best material for forging shields and armor, and also has certain magical properties, which can absorb magical elements and restore damage on its own.

The black star steel, which faintly shimmers with a star-like light, is said to be a product from outside the world of Gaia, and is extremely malleable and inclusive, making it one of the best forging bases.

In addition to these, there are many magical gems that shimmer in various colors.

Li Si looked at the harvest in front of him with considerable satisfaction, all of which were included in the space ring, and looked at Sterlan with a much kinder look.

It's not that Li Si is not determined, it's that the other party gives too much.

Taking out so many precious magic metals, even the mineral-rich Kingdom of Dillon will need many years of accumulation.

"I wonder if Mr. Moriarty is still satisfied?"

Seeing the black-robed man in front of him put away these priceless metals in front of him, Stran on the side didn't blink his eyes.

No matter how valuable it is, it is just a useless pile of stones for Strand at the moment.

It's the exchange for asylum that counts.

Even after asking for the support of the Church of the Ice Goddess, Strain hopes to be able to secure the secret protection of the Death Order.

It was really Lucar who was controlled by the Abyss Lord and forcibly occupied his body that had a big impact on him.

He has a lot of things to do, and the Kingdom of Dillon also needs him, and there must be no accidents now.

"Well, that's good."

A smile appeared on Lees' face, and it seemed to Strand that it was probably the best he had ever seen the mysterious fellow.

"The Lord has agreed to your request, and will come to see you in the next few days."

Lees looked at Strand, who was standing aside, and said with a smile.

"It's up to you whether you can get that person's approval or not."

Well?

Strand was a little surprised, so fast?

There really are several legends in the Death Order, and I can invite one to come and see me so soon.

Lees tossed Strain a round gray bead.

"This is a token from that adult, just keep it."

Strain took the orb and held it in his hand.

He felt an extremely subtle but sharp and powerful aura from it.

It's a legendary existence, yes, and it's not the same as the aura of the legendary powerhouse who took Lucar away a few days ago!

Strand's own strength is not weak, and it feels like nothing can go wrong.

Holding the beads tightly in his hand, Strand's heart was a little shocked.

Moriarty didn't lie, the Death Esoteric Order really had other legendary powerhouses.

Strain soon ran out of time to focus on this matter, a legendary powerhouse was coming, and he still needed to think carefully about how to satisfy the big guy and get his protection.

Lees looked at Strand, who was lost in thought, and did not wait any longer, and teleported out of the Garza warehouse.

Outside the Ice Peak, above the wasteland.

Perhaps the winter in the south of the continent is about to pass at this time, but the Kingdom of Dillon is still in the depths of winter.

The thick snow obscured everything beneath the eyes, and it was almost white as far as the eye could see.

Even the main road leading from Icepeak City to the rest of the world was obscured, and there was barely any trace to be seen.

Li Si turned around and looked at the dark gray Ice Peak City not far away and the Ice Castle Palace shining in the sun, and headed towards the east without nostalgia.

Everything in Ice Peak City is just a thing of the past, and Li Si is going to continue to move forward.

——

In the central plain of the Dillon Palace, on the snow-covered land, the cold north wind blew, and few demonic beasts were willing to go out and wander at this time, except for ice-type demonic beasts.

This is the great plain in the middle of the palace of Dilon, except for the place where Ice Peak City is located, the terrain is almost undulating, so the cold wind from the north blows through this area.

Until spring arrives in April, the climate will be cold and extreme.

However, compared to the northern ice field, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, humans can still survive here, but at this time, they stay at home like monsters.

At intervals in the central plains of the Kingdom of Dillon, you can see small human villages and rising cooking smoke.

At this time, not far from a small village.

A row of deep footprints was engraved on the snow like white paper, and it was none other than Li Si in thin clothes.

The north wind blew fine snow particles across his cheeks, causing a stinging pain like a knife.

With a calm face and a glance at the village not far away, Li Si did not choose to walk in the direction of the village, but continued to move towards the east.

He was not wearing a thick, warm cotton suit, or a tough, wind-proof leather garment, but a simple thin coat.

The north wind blew the corners of Lis's clothes, and his somewhat pale complexion and purple-red frostbite on his arms could be seen.

I don't know how many days have passed since I left Ice Peak City, and Li Si is walking in this cold snow.

Walk east for half a day every day, and spend the remaining half day hunting monsters or practicing martial arts.

When night falls, Lees will light a bonfire and immerse himself in the study of arcane knowledge.

The monotony of life day after day is very difficult, boring, simple, and the same.

If ordinary people continue to live like this, they will even be tossed crazy.

But Li Si didn't care, and after getting through the discomfort at the beginning, Li Si entered a deep level of tranquility.

The impetuosity and desires faced in Bright Light City and Ice Peak City were gradually washed away, and all that was left was the desire for extraordinary power.

As previously planned, Li Si is undergoing an ascetic-style practice and has begun to temper his body.

Ascetic monks are a very extreme way of practice for warrior monks, pursuing self-control, self-tempering, rejecting material and physical temptations, enduring the oppression of the harsh environment, exercising their endurance and suppressing their own desires by enduring physical pain and enduring harsh environmental oppression.

Therefore, this practice is also called an ascetic or ascetic.

This is a very painful process, and even among the warrior monk professions, there are only a few who can pass this kind of cultivation.

But without exception, all those who can practice through ascetics are tenacious beings, able to achieve spiritual breakthroughs, and have a unique resistance to all kinds of spiritual and spiritual temptations and negative effects.

What he is doing now is not a complete ascetic, because "asceticism" also involves starvation and even reducing water intake.

This would weaken Li Si's body, and it would not be conducive to his purpose of polishing and refining his body.

But it doesn't matter much, after all, the effect of refining the soul is still there, and Li Si can clearly feel the gradual progress and tenacity of his spirit these days.

Even the soul injuries suffered by the [Dream Refraction] backlash were almost healed.

However, there is another reason why Lees wears thin clothes besides enduring pain.

It's about being as close to nature as possible and refining the body.

Even if ordinary people wear thick clothes, it is impossible for them to move forward for a long time in this ice and snow.

However, Li Si's current physical strength is equivalent to that of a silver-level warrior, and only in this way can he reach the limit of his body as much as possible, prompting his body to heal and repair itself as much as possible, and at the same time produce a certain amount of resistance.

On Lis's panel, every once in a while, a new prompt message will be swiped.

——

[Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

[You take 100 Cold Damage!] ]

[Your resistance to the cold rises slightly!] ]

[Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

[You take 98 cold damage!] ]

[Your resistance to the cold rises slightly!] ]——

Li Si didn't care about the information on the system panel, he was just immersed in thinking about the arcane, and he didn't care about the pain from his body at all.

This is the quickest way to gain the Cold Resistance Specialty as a player in the previous life, and it is more convenient than any other Resistance Specialty.

As long as the body is left in a cold state for a long time, the only thing to pay attention to is not to reset your health to zero.

But that's also in the previous game, where players could have set the pain percentage to zero.

The current Li Si is different, and he must bear the pain completely.

When I first started exercising, the accumulated cold was still very low, and Li Si's physique didn't even cause harm.

But as time passed, the temperature in his body was gradually carried away by the north wind, and the accumulated frostbite had begun to become obvious, Li Si's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and the bone-chilling chill had begun to stimulate his spirit.

The body became heavier and heavier, and even my intuition began to numb a little.

The health loss from frostbite has gradually increased from 1 to 10, and then to 100.

This is still when Li Si had just obtained [Low-level Cold Resistance] yesterday.

Otherwise, even if your own health has exceeded 10,000, you can't keep up with this kind of damage at all.

In the midst of enduring the pain of the north wind and the bitter cold, Li Si gradually adapted.

He found that while he was on foot, it was better time to ponder the arcane in his head.

The boredom and cold made him concentrate more and even forget the pain in his body.

However, Li Si will not cultivate blindly.

Whenever his health drops below half health, Lees will stop and look for a place to raise a bonfire to dispel the cold, and drink a sip of hot soup to dispel the cold of his body as much as possible and restore his health.

It's just that Li Si has enough life-restoring potions now, otherwise it may not have such a good effect.

It can be said that Li Si is now practicing in kryptonite, and the materials he puts in the storage ring are sufficient anyway.

This is one of the reasons why he did not fully adhere to the ascetic practice.

Li Si can also wait for his health to drop to a lower level before recovering, but then he may face certain dangers when encountering an unexpected situation such as a demonic beast.

Give yourself leeway at all times!

This is what Li Si learned when he faced the demon prince Demogogen in Icepeak City.

If he had taken the initiative at that time, he would have crashed into Demogogan's hands at once.

Li Si didn't dare to guarantee that in front of that person's eyes, his teleportation ring and shadow talisman would definitely save his life.

Therefore, before this practice, Li Si also decided not to count these two hole cards when exercising himself to avoid the psychology of dependence.

Li Si moved towards the east step by step, and the white expanse ahead of him was so white that he couldn't see anything clearly.

The small village before has disappeared, as if only the sound and shadow of Li Si is left in the world, so lonely.

Li Si didn't care about this, after all, the scenery has been like this these days.

Bite~

At this moment, a somewhat different voice came from the system.
