Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"You may not know that in the past 20 years, no new snow priests have been born in Sami." Because Adele had already guessed the truth about the mountain sacrifice, Simone explained with less concern.

The mountain sacrifice ceremony can only be held once every ten years, and every time there is no accident, a snow priest will be born.

Take Casimir's knight champion as an example, this level of powerhouse can actually be mass-produced, as long as the price can be paid, an ordinary person can be piled up to this level with piles of money.

Those who are above the knight champions are the apexes among ordinary people. Masters like Xuan Tie and Jing Zhe are masters of this level. If they have this kind of strength, they can basically go unimpeded in most places on Terra.

But there are many people who are more powerful than them in this world, such as Shining and Manna. Compared with them, the black iron dignitaries are at best fighting units, and they are absolutely powerless to fight back in a one-on-one situation.

Xue Si belongs to this class of powerhouses. For a small country like Sami, it is already very scary to have a strong man born every ten years that exceeds the limits of ordinary people. Several Xue Priests take action together, which is enough to protect Sami Security throughout.

However, since a certain mountain festival, no new snow festival has been born for 20 consecutive years.

This is a very fatal thing for Sami who has not yet recovered from the war. Fortunately, the Ursus Empire has just changed a new emperor. Their internal forces are constantly fighting each other, and they have no time to pay attention to the next door. This neighbor who is strong on the outside but does nothing on the outside gave Sammy a chance to breathe.

But if the issue of the mountain festival is not resolved, sooner or later Sami will be annexed by the gradually stabilized Ursas.

Therefore, the only surviving Xue Priest was going to take the opportunity of last year to investigate clearly the problems in the ceremony.

At this time, a couple appeared in their field of vision. The couple somehow persuaded Xue Si and successfully joined the investigation team.

"That's your parents, Miss Nauman." Simone looked at Adele and said calmly.

As for what kind of persuasion she used, Simone couldn't tell clearly. After all, she was only a reserve Xue Priest, so it was impossible for her to know everything.

Along the way, the Naumans played the role of recorders, faithfully recording everything that happened in the ceremony, and leaving it to investigate the specific reasons for the failure in the future.

"Everything went smoothly at first, until we entered the last trial field, an accident happened."

Following Simone's voice, the accident did happen.

She suddenly tightened her body without warning, and large and small wounds appeared on Simona's body in an instant, dyeing her into a bloody person in an instant.

Chapter 66 Guests

Is this the onset of ore disease?

Simone is indeed an infected person, and it is indeed a bit like the symptoms of an acute ore disease attack, but at this time, with Li Ang sitting on the scene, how could it be possible to watch the ore disease attack?Therefore, this option can basically be ruled out.

But if it wasn't ore disease, what could it be?

Although Simone's current appearance was miserable, she was almost turned into a bloody person, but after careful inspection, these were basically skin trauma, and did not endanger her life.

At this time, the bandages prepared by Simone in the room came in handy, and Li Ang finally knew why the room smelled so special.

Obviously, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and Simone has even prepared countermeasures for a long time.

"This is... the price."

After quickly stopping the bleeding, Simone replied breathlessly while wrapping a bandage, "The ceremony is not completed, and this is the price I have to pay."

Adele wanted to go up to help, but Simone politely refused.

She used a small spell to clean her body, and after a while, she looked the same as before except for a few extra bandages.

Li Ang, who watched the whole process from the side, found that this kind of injury was a bit unusual, not like an external injury, but more like something wrong with Simona's body itself.

Is the price for the failure of the ceremony...

Li Ang would not just explore the inside of other people's bodies when he had nothing to do. This kind of behavior is quite abnormal when you think about it carefully, so he doesn't know what happened to Simone just now.

But for Simone, this might just be a trivial episode, and she should have been used to this kind of thing long ago.

She paused, and then continued the previous topic, "When we entered the location of the last test, an accident happened."

Simona looked a little confused, and the memories of that time gradually emerged in her mind. In fact, she also didn't understand what happened. In just a split second, her most trusted master turned into an ice sculpture. Lost the breath of life.

A person who has manipulated the power of ice and snow for a lifetime finally died in his best ability, which is really something that people can't laugh at.

After that, the boundless cold engulfed the entire mountain range.

Because Simone was the weakest among them, in addition to being responsible for carrying everyone's luggage, she also needed a lot of additional protective measures.It was precisely because of these protective measures that Simone barely survived.

Therefore, during the process of running out from the depths of the mountains, Simone's head was in a mess, and she lost many things unconsciously. The pendant she gave to Adele just now was one of the things she brought back. one.

"That's all I know." Simone said calmly, "I've been here for a year, and I haven't seen anyone come out of the mountains... Please forgive me."

Simona was only rubbed against by the sudden cold air a few times, leaving troublesome aftereffects on her body, not to mention the few people who were completely engulfed by the cold air, it must have been a disaster.

"……I see."

With the psychological preparation just now, Adele seemed much calmer now, but she looked at Simone and suddenly asked, "So, my parents are still staying there?"

Even the tower warlock only learned of the death of the Naumans and found some of their relics, but did not find their bodies. According to Simone, the remains of her parents may still be in the depths of the mountains .

Hearing this, the expression on Simone's face froze, she nodded very stiffly, and replied, "It should be...that's right."

"But listen to my explanation, it's not that we don't want to retrieve their remains, but that the last section of the mountain sacrifice is a bit special. There is a huge lake, and the water stored in it may not be water, but some unknown liquid .”

"The huge lake only freezes during the coldest period of the year," Simone explained. "If you miss that period, you can only try it next year."

In this way, why Professor Nauman chose this time to go to Sami can also be explained.

"I see."

Adele didn't blame Simone, she also knew that Simone had tried her best.

She already had a general understanding of the situation at that time through Simone's statement, which did not change Adele's mind, but only made her purpose of going to the deepest part of the mountain range clearer.

From finding out what kind of extranet the parents encountered, to taking their remains back for burial.

The only remaining question now is what kind of bargaining chip Professor Nauman used to convince Xue Si, and what he really wanted.

It's a pity that Simone didn't know the specific reason, and the only person who knew the truth had already stayed in the depths of the mountains forever with Professor Nauman.

"This question... I think I might be able to answer it."

Li Ang said suddenly, and the other two cast him surprised looks.

Maybe it was simply foreign aid that was invited?

This is also easy to understand. If there is no accident, the inheritance of Xuesi is a "technical black box". The Sami people can only use it directly according to the methods handed down from ancient times. The problem has not been found for more than 20 years.

Professor Nauman may have been invited to solve this trouble.

Now, the communication between Simone and Adele has come to an end. Just as Li Ang was about to ask Simone something, a figure suddenly broke into Li Ang's range of perception.

"...Someone has a guest." Li Ang murmured.

After the other party paused for a moment, he strode towards the direction of Simone's residence, and there was no doubt that his purpose was here.

Li Ang always felt that the other party was not kind. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Li Ang decided to go out to check the situation.

"You stay in the house first, I'll go out to see the situation."

After speaking, Li Ang got up and walked outside

However, as soon as Li Ang walked out of the room, the person who rushed over launched an attack involuntarily, without giving Li Ang a chance to defend himself.

PS. I'm a little bit Calvin, I feel so uncomfortable

PS2. By the way, I attach a plot strength table, which I got from the post bar. The above is basically the same as what I think. It is quite intuitive to look at it this way. Very few people have different ideas, but it is not a big problem.

Chapter 67 Misunderstanding

The moment Li Ang walked out of the room, a tulle made of ice mist covered his head.

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately held his breath, and lightly moved towards the other side of the ice fog.

This ice fog doesn't seem to have much lethality. Even if you break in directly, you may only suffer a little frostbite, but this is not the troublesome part of this little spell.

The most troublesome thing is that if you underestimate the power of this ice fog and accidentally inhale a part of it, even if it is only a little bit, it will cause serious damage to the human respiratory system.

If the lungs are injured, even if you have all your strength, you may not be able to use it.

In short, this is a very insidious spell, and the opponent's general character can be seen from this trick.

Li Ang covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the ice mist nearby, and asked loudly, "Who are you??"

The other party didn't say a word, and buried his head in waving the ring staff in his hand. One after another, sharp icicles emerged from the ground and rushed towards Li Ang. The speed was neither fast nor slow, and the power was not satisfactory, but the other party obviously didn't intend to use this With one move, Li Ang was subdued.

He just wanted to force Li Ang to leave his current position.

"Don't you want to answer... Forget it, it doesn't matter." Li Ang shook his head.

Li Ang can guess the identity of the other party without the other party answering at all. Simone just said that she is a snow priest in the reserve service. At this time, who would come to her?Naturally, it is other snow priests.

It's just that... Jing Zhe had told him before that there should be half a month before Xue Si came to Sami, there was obviously something wrong with this information, Xue Si actually arrived in Hammerfest ahead of time.

Before Jing Zhe could sort out the affairs of Dali Temple, the Snow Sacrifice had already arrived, which made things a bit troublesome.

But after thinking about it, Jing Zhe is the Minister of Dali Temple of Yan Kingdom anyway, and it is unlikely that there will be problems with such important information. What should I discuss with Simona, a reserve soldier of the Snow Priest.

That being the case...then simply subdue him.

The field of perception shrank in an instant, and most of the attention was focused on that Xue Priest. Xue Priest felt an inexplicable chill gushing out of his body, and even the movement of waving the ring staff in his hand accelerated a bit.

Following the other party's wishes, Li Ang also stayed away from the room where Simone was. At this time, Adele was also inside. Neither of them wanted to affect that place, and this became a mutual understanding between them.

The place where Simone lives is very remote, which is a good place for doing it.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Ang withdrew from the range of the house, Xue Si's attack immediately became violent, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the surrounding environment began to change faintly centered on Xue Siwei.

It's as if the environment here is actively coordinating with Xue Priest to launch an attack on Li Ang. The source stone energy consumed has not increased, but the power of the spell has increased by three points out of thin air.

It is worthy of being the top combat power in a country, and it really has something unique.

He didn't have any armor to increase his defense, and Li Ang didn't want to go head-to-head with this level of spells. He swung a few flames to melt the ice on the ground, and instead of opening the distance between him and Xue Si, he rushed directly Go up and break into the space that has been affected by the snow priest.

This kind of special spell that directly affects the surrounding environment and is used to amplify oneself and weaken enemies is indeed not bad, but unfortunately he met Li Ang.

Regarding the control of the Origin Stone, Li Ang was far above the Snow Priest, even in an environment that was favorable to them like Sami. With Li Ang's thought, the situation of the two sides reversed in an instant.

The operation unit that had just been constructed was almost reversed, and the source stone energy in the surrounding environment seemed to have condensed into a solid body, which did not listen to his control at all.

The expression on Xue Si's face became extremely dignified. At this moment, he also realized that Li Ang was fundamentally different from the enemies he faced before.

"—— Explosive Flame Wave Sword!"

The blazing fire dyed most of the sky red, and the water vapor from the melting ice and snow crackled in the high temperature. The sea of ​​fire blocked all the escape routes of Xue Si, unless he could run out of a range of several hundred meters in an instant, otherwise It was necessary to bear Li Ang's thunderous blow head-on.

Victory is set.

With limited spellcasting, it is absolutely impossible for a warlock to block this explosive wave sword. Li Ang also has the power to control the wave sword well, so as not to accidentally burn the opponent to ashes.

Just when Li Ang thought so, an abnormality happened.

The sea of ​​flames that was still burning one second disappeared without a trace the next second like being poured with a bucket of cold water. Such an abnormal situation made Li Ang stunned.

ice?

No, what Snow Priest used just now is obviously not the origin stone technique of ice attribute. If the same amount of ice is used to offset the flames, a large amount of water mist will be generated, making the environment here a mess, but there is no such sign at all just now.

It's like... the flame used up all the fuel and finally extinguished itself.

The sea of ​​fire dissipated, revealing the snow priest behind.

At this time, the other party's movements looked extremely solemn, holding the ring stick in his hand reverently, humming a special rhythm in his mouth, and a special breath began to spread from him to the surroundings.

It was this special aura that counteracted the Explosive Flame Wave Sword just now.

Back to a few minutes ago, Li Ang left the sentence that another guest is coming outside, and walked out of the room directly, which made Adele and Simone a little clueless.

The two looked at each other, and after looking at each other, Adele asked, "Well, Miss Simon, are there any friends of yours outside?"

"I have no friends." Simone said, shaking her head.

Her status is extremely special, and she lives in this remote place precisely because she needs to avoid people's eyes and ears. Even the supplies needed for daily life are purchased through special channels. Does she have any friends there?

Just when Simone was about to say something, there was a loud noise outside the house, causing a large amount of dust to fall from the roof.

At this moment, Simone suddenly remembered that she had no friends, but besides friends, there were indeed other people who would come to her.

not good!There was a fight just now!

Simone's pupils shrank slightly, and before she could tell Adele, enduring the pain in her body, she rushed out of the room and shouted to the outside, "You all stop! This is all a mistake... will it...?"

The last few words stopped in Simone's mouth, and she looked at what happened in front of her in some amazement.

From the moment she came out, the battle outside was over.
