Chapter 357

Fall of the stars 833, June 11, night, northern Moldavia, snow capped Nicaea, white frost forest.

Looking down from the sky, the white frost forest is a triangle. It is a luxuriant pine forest between the snow mountain and the ice field. It grows in the rolling hills, and there is a winding river passing through it. The products of the white frost forest are not rich. Before the establishment of lindongbao college near here, even hunters rarely came here to hunt, but even so, It also inhabits many creatures, many of which are demons.

From the gap between the leaves, you can see the faint starlight in the sky, which proves that the night has gradually come, and the stronger and stronger south wind will also disperse the clouds in the mid air. Therefore, the demons lurking in the day will enter their active period.

Somewhere in the forest, a tree that had already collapsed and was now slowly decaying appeared a faint blue light.

With the dim moonlight becoming bright due to the gradually dispersing clouds, the light blue fluorescence emerging from the tree becomes more and more striking. With the sound of "Gudong" as if the liquid is flowing, a jelly like creature about the size of half a person will emerge from the crevice of the tree and come to the outside world, Silently absorbed the magic of the moonlight.

This gelatin is the most famous and weakest creature in the world, slime.

From its shape, we can see that this is a unique frost shrem in cold regions.

Shrem, like jellyfish, has no brain and only instinct, but they have strong adaptability. No matter it is deep sea, glacier, swamp or volcanic spring, as long as there is water or even liquid, they can survive and adapt to the local environment.

Some magicians believe that shrem was evolved from some jellyfish stranded on land in the period of ancient geological changes, but there is no evidence to support this argument. Mermaid and deep sea patron (God of the sea) also deny this claim.

However, the argument of other scholars is even more terrifying. They think that shrem should be formed by some ancient superorganism, or even the blood of a cologne. Although this argument is equally unreliable, several plausible evidences can be found unexpectedly. One of them is that such a weak creature can smoothly carry a lot of magic, As far as we know, shrem is the only low-level demon that can survive in the severe magic radiation area, and can rapidly proliferate and evolve according to the magic intensity of the place.

But anyway, slym is slym, because it is essentially a mixture of colloid, water and magic. They are generally at the bottom of the magic food chain, which can be regarded as a kind of high-end beverage, so it is difficult to grow up, and the quantity is not large.

Most of shrems hide in all kinds of dark corners and absorb dew and magic gradually. However, because they have no brain, they will not respond to the call of the Kuroshio to attack human fortresses. That is the only time for shrems to recuperate. By absorbing the flesh and blood and magic of the dead Warcraft, this kind of creature will grow and split rapidly, Reproduction, in a short time, will expand to a terrible point.

In the white frost forest, the more powerful demons were expelled by a group of human mages a few days ago. Because they lost most of their natural enemies, the group of shrem immediately began to develop with all their strength.

Above the tree, this frost shrem is quietly absorbing the magic, preparing for the split propagation in the near future, while in the nearby bush, a pair of gray eyes are watching it closely.

Ivan Makarov, a young magician from wintercastle, is holding his simple wand in his hand, waiting for the opportunity to attack. His target, of course, is the only magic object in this area, the huge frost shrem in front of him.

Today is the second day of the wildness survival test at lindongbao college. Because it is mandatory that students can't carry any food, all students can only get food by hunting and picking fruits. As the son of a hunter, Ivan naturally knows how to survive in the northern woods, and through several simple traps, He has caught enough rabbits and squirrels for two days.

But it's not enough. Just as the notice says, it's not enough to survive this test. If you want to get a higher score, you have to hunt other demons.

In the white frost forest, powerful demons have long been expelled. The only ones left are slim, frost butterfly and boar.

Among the three kinds of residual magical objects, the boar is powerful, few in number, and the wandering range is too large, so it is not the first target. The frost butterfly is too small to be used as food. The natural spell like [ice sting] is too dangerous for the apprentices, so it is not considered.

Only slim, weak, slow moving, large quantity, can eat, is the best target.At this time, someone will think, can slim eat?

The answer is that some can and some can't.

For example, growing up in volcanic springs, the magma slime covered with sulfur and heavy metal toxins can never be eaten, and the venom slime in swamps can't be eaten either. But in most forests, the slime growing up on the sap and fruit of trees can be eaten. It's not only edible, but also very nutritious.

As a mixture of magic, mucus and water, slym's body fluid is the raw material of the primary magic potion after being treated. After drinking a bottle, it can quickly restore magic. As a mage apprentice, Ivan naturally knows this. In order to continue casting magic in the next few days, he tries to hunt more powerful creatures, He can't let go of the frost shrem in front of him.

"Terrain, unknown, possibility of slym's counterattack, route of retreat..."

First of all, he thought about all the possibilities and rehearsed them in his mind. Then Ivan arranged his hair to avoid the long hair covering his vision later in the battle. Then, he clenched the staff in his hand, concentrated his mind and let the magic flow in his body, Get ready for the first spell.

……

……

"What do you think, Joshua?"

Over the frost forest, above the endless cold wind, there are two figures standing in the clouds. They look down at the land, and their eyes reflect every fire of life in it.

Nostradamus, who was watching every student, noticed that the soldier on his side didn't reply, so he asked, "what do you think of these children?

"... in my eyes?"

He repeated in a low voice. Joshua narrowed his eyes. He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "experience is not enough. Whether it's survival, hunting or fighting, it's too young."

"More than half of the people choose to stay and light the campfire in the wrong place, without considering the wind direction and poisonous insects - I'll say fight if I don't talk about it much."

With one hand, the soldier motioned to the old mage to look in the direction where Ivan was. He said softly: "this little guy can't use fire and thunder spells because he wants to get the body fluid of frost shrem. The other side has frost resistance, so frost sculpt can't be used. The attack means of the Mage at low level are almost useless, There's only one arcane missile left. "

At this point, Joshua couldn't help showing a schadenfreude smile: "without actual combat, how can he know that slim has a certain magic absorption ability? Fireball and thunderbolt can be immune, not to mention pure magic impact? "

"Not bad."

Nostradamus looked in that direction and could not help nodding. He said with some emotion: "all the students think that the big boar is the strongest demon, but in fact, shrem, who has a certain magic resistance, is the most annoying opponent of the lower mages. On the contrary, it is the big boar, who only needs to use the simplest Lei ya, It can be paralyzed to the point where it can't move. "

"It's also a small education to tell them not to believe too much in appearance."

"It's pretty good, actually."

With a slight shrug, although Joshua mercilessly pointed out the mistakes of these students, he was not unhappy. On the contrary, he was gratified: "the first time I went out of the college and came to the forest, I had this kind of performance, which can be regarded as excellent."

"Yes."

The wrinkled face stretched slightly, and Nostradamus also looked at the forest. The young mage, who had lost his hand because of the failure of the arcane missile, was fearless in the face of danger and used the complex terrain in the forest to fight with shrem, showed a smile: "they are all good children."

While Joshua and Nostradamus were watching the apprentices of the mages in lindongbao college to survive in the wilderness, far south, far east of the holy mountain, and in the abyss of Anos.

A whole body holy white, it seems to know that the strong ship is driving in the strong wind and waves, against the tide of the sea.

The abyss of Anos is like a hell in the middle of the night. The dizzy wind is raging over the dark sea, causing waves and shrieks. The clouds are surging in the sky, pouring rain. The cold rain is mixed with the salty water vapor, covering all people's fields of vision.

The power from the abyss stirs the ocean currents in this area, forming large and small eddies and always stormy weather. If the ships sailing here are not strong enough, they will be easily dispersed by the strong wind and tide, while the dead souls of the crew will be imprisoned by evil, turning into a wandering ghost ship, wandering in the fog of the night.

However, it is obvious that the pure white Ark will not be easily defeated by the huge waves. There are dense sacred runes on its hull, with holy light flowing on it, resisting the bad weather and the evil power hidden behind it.In addition, at the top of the ark, there is a round gem half the size of a man. It releases the hot positive energy like the sun, and the light illuminates the sea area within a radius of nearly 1000 meters. Even the rain and fog containing the power of the abyss can not stop it.

Next to this gem, there are many magic arrays in operation, increasing and guiding its power, calming the surrounding waves, and guiding the ark forward.

If Joshua came here, he would be surprised to find that this gem is the nuclear melting star hanging in the emblem Hall of Morley palace, but it appears on the ship which is obviously the church.

"Alas."

A sigh came from the ark deck.

The deck at this time can be regarded as the most dangerous place on the holy white ark. The restless wind and the wind sweeping everything can easily involve people in the cold and dark sea. In this kind of weather, if the strength of the people involved in the sea is not strong enough, it is tantamount to death, because no one can find the person who fell into the water in this situation.

Obviously, the blonde Knight sighing on the deck was powerful enough. He was wearing white armor and stood in the front of the deck. He looked at the dark distance with deep eyes. No matter the wind or the waves could move him.

"Why, loranda, why sigh."

On the side of the man, there was another man, who was also fearless of the wind. He was wearing a silver magic armor and a huge cross steel hammer at his waist. The middle-aged knight with silver hair asked in a calm voice. Even the wind could not cover his voice: "are you worried about whether the plan will succeed?"

"One thing, Captain robzek."

Without hesitation, the blonde knight, loranda simply admitted: "the storm of the abyss of Anos is becoming more and more fierce, the huge waves can't even overcome the array engraved on the time, and the nuclear star borrowed from the empire can't support it. You see, under the power of the abyss, its light has begun to fade."

"In addition to the specially borrowed fusion star, we have other sacred tools to overcome the influence of the abyss and guide us."

Shaking his head, the middle-aged knight with silver hair, robzek calmly answered his younger generation's question: "and we still have time. If we can't do it this time, we'll go back to the holy mountain and prepare again. If we try several times, we can always find the central vortex successfully."

"But that's not what I'm worried about..."

With a sigh, loranda frowned and looked at the dark sea. Among the clouds, thunder came from the sky. The blue lightning broke through the sky, but could not shine through the rain and fog that filled the sea.

——This is his third voyage after he left Moldavia and returned to the holy mountain. Every time he sailed, the ark time would be shorter in the rainstorm. This is not because it was damaged, but because the dark forces in this sea area are gradually strengthening.

What's more, before reaching the central vortex, the star of fusion can't bear the load. After finding it, what holy instrument should be used to resist the deep force of that concentration? Is it necessary for his holiness to use his white staff or other artifact?

Thinking of this, loranda shakes her head. These are unrealistic. Pope Iger has to deal with the impact of the Dragon disaster, and other holy implements must be prepared for that time. Most of the holy implements they carry this time are second-class, so they can't resist the evil power in the abyss of Anos.

At this time, he could not help thinking of a friend he knew well.

If it is that friend, the power he has is certainly more suitable for the current situation than the fusion star. That kind of holy and orderly power is undoubtedly the natural killer of the abyss power.

The paladin recalled what he had said not long ago when he said goodbye to himself——

"... it's going to be a little difficult to accept this idea."

"But if you need any help from me, don't hesitate, you can come to me at any time - I won't refuse my friend's invitation," said the soldier with black hair and naked eyes, laughing as he drank the wine

"Have a good trip."

"- maybe."

Looking at the dark and violent sea in front of him, loranda nodded thoughtfully. He said to himself gently, "it's time."
