Artificer Adventure Guide

"Karl! Too fast! Slow down! Wooaaaaaa——!"

Try to keep still, Nia screamed in fear at the speed of the motorcycle.

The cold wind whistled in her ears, and the hum of the airflow made it almost impossible for her to hear other sounds.

She could only rely on her not-so-high perception to grasp the effective distance of the spell, and to ensure that the wheels would not cause unpredictable disasters due to a stone.

This was too exciting for her, and the current situation of not knowing when she would face death made her adrenaline soar.

"Don't talk! Hold your legs tight!"

With his eyes fixed on the front, Karl twisted his waist slightly so that Nia's legs clamped around his waist could be more comfortable.

Karl had sensed the white dragon beast chasing them through the perception brought by the exploration of the dragon pattern, and it was foreseeable that more white dragon beasts would join the chase next.

It is said that driving fast is addictive, but Karl didn't believe it before.

But at this moment, the theme song of "Initial D" has been automatically played in his mind, and the AE86 galloping in the Akina Mountain seems to be in front of him, guiding him in the direction.

"Master Carl, you have deviated from the original direction now. Next, you need to turn 15 degrees to the left and drive for 30 seconds to correct the direction."

The voice of No. 1 sounded in the helmet.

It was also partially removed by Carl. The crystal as its intelligent core is now embedded in the forehead of Carl's helmet, helping him to pay attention to the route at any time.

"15 degrees to the left front? There is snow there! Are you sure we won't fall into an ice hole?"

"Don't worry, at your current speed, we will skim on the snow surface in the way of skipping stones, don't worry about the holes under the snow layer."

To be honest, Carl's current speed is indeed not considered "running", he just flies too low.

Taking a deep breath, Carl slightly turned around and plunged into the snow layer.

A flaming arrow was fired from under V's headlights. Nia quickly changed her spell into fire control and used the spell effect to control the flaming arrow, melting part of the snow in front.

"Buzz--"

Amid the roar, the tires of the motorcycle flew on the snow.

Carl couldn't even control the lifting of the front wheel, so he could only try to press his body down to offset this trend.

"Ah~"

The roar of the white-collared white dragon beast sounded from the air. Carl looked at the oil gauge of the motorcycle and found that there was only 32% of the fire element in the dragon crystal.

'As long as we rush through this section of the road, we will find a place to rest immediately. '

Thinking so in his heart, Carl prayed while continuing to drive forward.

Suddenly, another roar of white dragon beast came from a snowy mountain in front.

Immediately afterwards, roars came one after another, and white dragon beasts flew out of the mountain one after another.

"Is that where the teleportation light gate is?"

The soaring dragon beasts pointed out the specific direction for Carl. He glanced at the remaining fire elements with his peripheral vision again, and Carl's attention became more focused.

The sound of the motorcycle attracted the attention of the dragon beasts. They swooped down from midair, brewing breaths that were enough to freeze Carl and his party into ice sculptures.

"Hu~"

A burst of ice dragon breath spewed out, and it fell directly on the snowfield in front of Carl. The huge ice spikes grew out like bamboo shoots after rain.

"Hold on!"

Because of the huge inertia, Carl had no way to complete a large turn now.

But if they continued to rush forward like this, they would definitely rush into the range of the dragon breath.

So, Carl chose to drift.

The motorcycle at super high speed immediately began to shake violently with a slight tilt of the wheel.

This phenomenon is called death swing. In this case, the motorcycle rider will face rollover next.

However, Carl still held the handlebars tightly at this moment. When the body of the motorcycle turned completely sideways, his eyes lit up with psychic energy.

In an instant, Carl's mind connected with V, and the car that had already begun to roll over seemed to have been pressed on the slow-motion playback button.

"Click"

The structure connecting the wheels suddenly changed, and the wheels that could only rotate forward and backward actually rolled sideways in the direction of the rollover.

They turned very fast, and the car body that was about to flip over even regained its balance because of their changes.

The two exhaust ports of the aircraft propeller were still spraying diamond-shaped flames.

This provided sufficient power support for the car's turning.

When inertia and propulsion gradually reached a certain ratio, the actual force of the car changed.

Then, the car turned.

"Buzz--"

Amid the roar, the rear wheels of the car lifted up a large piece of snow.

And Carl swung the parking space, allowing the car to successfully turn.

The liquid nitrogen-like breath was only a dozen centimeters away from Carl.

Carl's face under the helmet was even frozen a little because of this.

"Woo~ha!"

After dodging the first breath, there were still the second and third waiting for Carl.

However, Carl seemed to have stimulated his potential in the face of great danger. He not only dodged the breaths one by one, but also kept the car moving towards the dragon beasts' nest.

"Master Carl, the dragon crystal only has 13% of its energy left."

However, things will not always go smoothly. When Carl was still immersed in the excitement of his five consecutive hairpin drifts that were all successful, No. 1 reported to him a life-threatening news.

Because he was too reckless, the consumption of fire elements was much faster than he thought at the beginning.

And they are still in the encirclement formed by the white dragon beast.

‘What should I do? Ask for help directly from the master? ’

But looking at the snow mountain that was already close at hand, Carl was a little unwilling.

‘Wait! Master, they put the white dragon beast into the demiplane only recently. These dragon beasts can change the terrain in such a short time. Is it because...’

The body sank again, and Carl turned off the energy output of the dragon crystal in Nia's cry.

But even so, their car was still moving forward at a very amazing speed.

As the snow mountain got closer and closer, Carl's lips were tightly pursed, and his heart beat like a drum.

Nia under him didn't say anything at this time, but just closed her eyes tightly, looking forward to opening them next time.

The car was getting closer and closer to the snow mountain, and Carl's heart rate reached its peak at this time.

"Squeak"

The wheels rotated horizontally again, but this time, Carl made the two wheels rotate horizontally in the opposite direction of each other.

The car turned the front direction instantly, and then crashed into the snow mountain like a gyroscope.

"Hu~"

The jet nozzle restarted, and the blazing flames poured out in all directions.

Carl tried hard to control the rotation of the car, and stabilized it just a few seconds before it was about to hit the snow mountain.

And his current direction was completely opposite to when he was driving just now.

"Ah——!"

Using a loud shout to vent his emotions, Carl released all the energy in the dragon crystal at once.

Two pillars of fire sprayed towards the direction of the snow mountain, and the "rock wall" of the snow mountain suddenly melted under the high temperature.

This turned out to be an iceberg made entirely of ice!

'Haha! I was right! Those white dragon beasts built this snow mountain entirely with ice, so it can be formed so quickly! ’

With the high-temperature fire column leading the way, the car rushed directly into the melted ice cave.

A large amount of white mist emerged from the ice cave, and Carl seemed to be at the bottom of the steps of the Lingxiao Palace.

Suddenly, the car seemed to hit some rocks and turned over.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Carl quickly took off his helmet and put it on Nia's head.

Immediately afterwards, Carl fainted in the impact.
