After deepening her spirituality, a faint dark gold color appeared in front of Ella's eyes. She snorted and stepped back.
A layer of rust color quickly spread along her fingers touching the blade and above her wrist!
Even though Ella was full of magic power at this time, her spirit was in the best state and she was already prepared, but she was still affected to a certain extent!
This is just a feature that removes a few curses, not a peek into its essence.Even so, the ferocity of the pollution far exceeded Ella's expectations.
She frowned, and began to dissolve the pollution, and after a while, bits of rust peeled off the girl's fingers.
Part of the skin was missing where the rust had peeled off, and blood was beginning to ooze.
Ella returned the sword to Ashley with lingering fear.
"A terrible curse... His Majesty the Snow King's words are not just words. If this thin layer of ice disappears, you must throw it away without hesitation. I have never seen this kind of curse, and the details need to be studied. and analysis.”
Lily recalled the Snow King's words.
"Your Majesty mentioned that this is the material left over from the sixth era... If, as prophesied, each era will eventually be destroyed, then this curse may be related to the destruction of the previous era?"
Ashley looked at Saber with slightly changed eyes,
"The curse that can destroy an era should not be something that can be easily controlled... Once it gets out of control, the disaster it brings may not be smaller than the cold spider swarm. Your Majesty, after all..."
Ella had already bandaged her fingers, and she looked out the window with some anxiety. The carriages transporting armaments were continuously driving into the street.
"What I care about most is those fighters, do they know what they are using?"
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the panoramic view of the street. Those standard weapons were distributed to the soldiers, some of whose faces were too young, and they even felt excited and joyful because they got new weapons.
Thinking of this, Ella, who put on the dark blue court mage robe, left the mansion. This gorgeous dress was as thin as a cicada's wings, but Ella didn't feel cold because of it. Those tiny scales contained gentle magic power, Excellent warmth retention.
The guarding soldiers did not stop her, and the news that the girl was named a court mage was no secret.
In order to cope with the coming war, most of the soldiers sat around various points of the city wall to rest or eat.
There is no need to confirm one by one. Ella, who has already been exposed to the characteristics of the curse, is very sensitive to the unique smell of rust. This smell is permeated around the armament carriage, as thick as a fog that cannot be melted.
Walking among the convoys, Ella's heart turned cold little by little.
In her eyes, more than half of these soldiers would die from the curse.Even if they are lucky enough to survive the battlefield, they will be infected with diseases similar to heavy metal poisoning, and it is difficult to have a peaceful old age.
"Yo, Your Excellency the court mage."
A rude voice interrupted her thoughts, and Ayla turned around to find a low-ranking officer dressed as a sergeant.
After seriously recalling it for a long time, the girl finally found the bald man from her memory.
"You were from Winter City... called Rogley?"
Rogley is a criminal imprisoned in Winter City Prison. He made meritorious service in the battle of defending the city and joined the regular army as a sergeant.
"It's rare that your Excellency still remembers... the guys in the army are very grateful to you, those strange pieces of paper are indeed very useful."
Rogley's way of speaking was a bit awkward. He seemed to be adapting to the way of speaking of the regular army, but his tone still couldn't avoid the habitual vulgarity.
The girl didn't know how to respond for a moment, and Ella didn't know the newly promoted sergeant very well.
She noticed the sword on the opponent's waist, which was a new type of standard sword.
Rogley seemed to notice her gaze, and the middle-aged man seemed to read the question in Ella's eyes.
"Your Majesty the Mage wants to know nothing more than the sword... Your Majesty's emissary, the guy in full body armor, told us that you might die if you use this thing, right?"
Ella was silent for a few seconds, the answer was beyond her expectations.
"you know?"
"of course."
Rogley stroked his scalp, and his hands were oily, which quickly made the huge bald head glisten.
"The number of these special weapons is actually not large. Counting bows and arrows, it can only be used by 3000 people at most. It is not easy to grab a spot."
"Still robbing?"
From Ayla's point of view, this was simply suicide. Perhaps these soldiers still didn't know the seriousness of the curse.
"Of course we want to grab it! That tolerant majesty promised that as long as this weapon is used, he will give the families of the war dead a decent life, and those who survive will even be awarded the title of knight!"
Ella shook her head.
"Even if you are lucky enough to get the status, you will probably contract the disease caused by the curse in your later years. This kind of short-term enjoyment does not mean much to me, and you are already a sergeant, right?"
Rogley grinned,
"You are wrong, people like us, who would expect to live to their old age? I am someone who has seen that kind of bug monster... so I know very well that it is the same whether you use this weapon or not Yes, it's not easy to survive, so His Majesty's promise is no different from giving it away for nothing."
"There are less than a hundred of the lads who came out of the cell with me at that time, and now there are not a hundred of them alive... Many people whose hometowns are in Winter or Junkos are the same as I think. Their hometowns and acquaintances are all Already dead. It's not just for status and wealth to snatch this spot—'revenge' is already a very sufficient reason."
"Is this so...I think I understand something."
Ella nodded, and then ordered a few people to purchase items for herself.As the Snow King said, power comes in handy at times like this.
"What are your plans, Your Excellency?"
"You said it, right? Those strange pieces of paper are very useful. I plan to prepare more."
Ella smiled, and walked towards the hotel without waiting for a response.
In the current Carlodine, there is no need to search for magic materials at all, and the attendants quickly carried the two boxes into the mansion.
Ella casually pushed the things on the table to one side, and then piled mercury, parchment and other materials within reach.
"Lily, have I already taught you how to draw [Deep Ocean]? Have someone call Erwin to work, and we'll try to do as much as possible before evening."
Drawing the "dark deep sea" itself does not need to consume mana. On the basis of understanding the symbols, you only need to inhale the ground material into the quill and then draw it on the parchment.In fact, drawing the old seal is very good for magic apprentices, which is beneficial to help them understand runes, exercise the stability of hands, and even train mental strength to a certain extent.
Erwin was very happy to participate in this work, and Ella noticed that the intensity of his magic had risen to another level in the past two days.This mixed-blood elf indeed has a strong talent. If Erwin had been Kraft's student since he was a child, his current magic level would not even be inferior to that of Hyde Beluse.
"Mr. Williams, you said that the patterns in the old seal point to gods, but why have I never heard of 'Ocean' or the corresponding gods?"
During the drawing process, Erwin suddenly asked.
The question brought Ella's fingers to a standstill as she noticed that the extra force of the quill had twisted a line that should have been straight in other directions.
This meant that the parchment was equivalent to being scrapped. Ella threw the parchment on the ground casually, which was the first mistake she made in her drawing.
There are some parchments strewn about the spirituality on the ground, and both Lily Bell and Erwin have made some unavoidable beginner mistakes in the drawing process.
"Yes, what exactly is an 'ocean'?"
Lily asked.
Ella filled up the materials with the quill pen again. This time, the materials seemed to be absorbed a bit too much. A drop of silver-white potion dripped on the parchment, blurring out some strange patterns.
Ella sighed and threw the scrapped parchment of this chapter to the ground. She felt a little tired, so she simply placed the quill flat on the table and began to take a short rest.
It's understandable that Erwin and Lily's progress on the old seal is slower, and there seems to be no concept of the ocean in their knowledge.
"Ocean...the ocean is a very large body of water."
Erwin was thoughtful,
"The lake we saw during the march was several kilometers wide. Is that considered an ocean?"
"No, that's not it."
Ella tried her best to think. She didn't know much about knowledge other than magic, so she couldn't give any detailed explanation.
"It should be a larger body of water...and there's a lot of salt in the ocean water."
"Is it bigger..."
Lily repeated.
"I remember that there seemed to be such a place in history, but it's been frozen into ice, it's unimaginable... Ella, have you ever lived in a world like that?"
The two stopped this topic by coincidence, but it was unavoidable after all. Probably after this stop, Ella would climb the stone steps reaching the sky.
Ashley delivered the black tea to them respectively, she didn't seem to care about the so-called ocean.
Before dusk, Ayla handed over hundreds of old seals to the quartermaster, and at the request of the trusted court mage, they would be given priority to the soldiers who controlled the spar guns and those who used the new standard weapons.
The army has assembled on the city wall, and the city gate is also fully prepared.At the top of the castle, the king held the scepter and cast his gaze to the end of the western land.
The chief knight, two court mages and some noble ministers stood on both sides of him.
The brilliance of the setting sun began to fade away inch by inch. When the last ray of sunlight was submerged in the snow field, the sound of pines like waves came from the forest.
No, that wasn't Songtao's lovely voice——
The purple tide overwhelmed the trees, and shadows appeared in the sky, which were spiders as dense as dark clouds.
Chapter 61 War
The green color of the ash forest is rapidly diminishing, and the tall trees are divided into small pieces, quickly disappearing within the swarm of insects.
In the cold spider group with a population of more than [-] on the ground, there are sporadically scattered giant Guge giants. Their number is also more than a hundred, and every step that lands on the ground will cause strong vibrations.
On the wilderness plain, generally speaking, only one cold spider is needed to kill a squad of ten or more soldiers.
In other words, the combat strength of Spider Sea this time surpassed 50 elite human fighters, and the defenders in the entire Carotine City were only [-]!
Just as Ella was worried, within two days, cold spiders with the ability to fly had evolved, and their number exceeded several thousand, and the tall city walls and fortresses had no meaning to them!
The bodies of these cold spiders have undergone tremendous changes, deformations have appeared on both sides of their carapaces, the bloated abdominal folds have been fully unfolded, and two pairs of transparent insect wings vibrate at high speed to support their huge bodies.Compared with ordinary cold spiders, they have a pair of glands at the end of the carapace. High-temperature gas is ejected from the glands, like the exhaust pipe at the tail of a steam train.
When they were about to reach the top of the city wall, the Snow King slapped his scepter gently, and a blizzard of wind rolled up out of thin air above the Carlotine city wall!
The wind itself is an invisible thing, but a large amount of ice, snow and dust are rolled up in the strong wind. The invisible hurricane is therefore dyed with a dark gray-white color, and the hurricane forms a vast wall above the city wall!
The monsters were caught off guard and hit the wind wall. Even though their flying speed was far faster than birds, they were still tossed by the strong wind. Their huge bodies were thrown away like dead leaves, and there were large rocks and solid ice mixed in the wind wall.They are accelerated in the hurricane and become as powerful as cannonballs!For a moment, the severed limbs and transparent wing fragments of the cold spider splashed in the air mixed with disgusting body fluids.
They have lost weight in order to evolve the ability and speed of flight, so the hardness of their joints and carapace has dropped significantly, making them unable to withstand the impact of rocks in strong winds.
Calling such a large-scale wind and snow obviously consumes a lot of energy and cannot be maintained for a long time.
After disrupting the first round of the flying cold spider's charge, the king withdrew the scepter, reducing the scale of the wind wall to only the sky above the main castle.
The cold spiders in the war did not feel the slightest fear. Ella had doubted it. She thought that such a creature that knew how to learn and had high intelligence should not behave like this.But there is no doubt about the fact that they are indeed born war machines, knowing no fear or death.
As the wind wall shrank, the spiders in the air immediately adjusted their posture and attacked the city wall.At this time, the sound of the heavy horn echoed on the Carrotine city wall. It was a giant horn over ten feet long, and only humans with unusually tall physiques or long-lived races could have enough lung capacity to blow it.
The black iron fences on the inner wall of the city wall slowly rise. They are extremely wide, almost like a small city wall.In front of the iron fence is a spacious passage that is fifteen feet wide and twenty feet long. Ella learned their purpose from the defenders before the battle.
