Chapter 246 Forbidden Ice Needle, continue to adapt!
“Are you here specifically for me?” After hearing what Roic said, many thoughts flashed through Gothe’s mind, but he still couldn’t figure out the other party’s intention.
The main thing is that he can't find a reason for the other party to come to him specifically.
Gothe carefully recalled what he had done since entering the Northern Territory, and there was indeed nothing special about it.
“Yes, we are here specifically to find you.”
"You ran very fast. It took us a lot of effort to find you." Roic looked at Gothe with a half-smile.
"I was entrusted by the guardian Baruch to come all the way from the Snover clan to your branch just to help deliver the message. No matter how great the credit is, there is always hard work. As a result, you The people in the branch are harboring ill intentions towards me." Gothe saw that Loic's arrival was not good and he defended himself.
“Although I don’t know the specific reason, I didn’t do anything extraordinary. I just ran away as soon as possible. Why did I send hunters to follow me for thousands of miles?”
Gaode is both an accusation and a solution to doubts.
He felt a little baffled about this matter from beginning to end.
According to the situation of the Snowfield Guardian introduced to him by Baruch, not to mention being lawful good, it must be a neutral and good organization anyway. Why do you want to "repay a favor with an enemy" to him?
"Entrusted by Baruch." At this time, the masked hunter behind Gothe spoke. To Gothe's surprise, it turned out to be a female voice.
“According to the information received by the sect, Baruch has most likely abandoned the doctrine and slaughtered the northern tribes on the snowy plains for his own selfish desires. We can’t find any trace of Baruch for the time being, so naturally we will take you This foreigner who claimed to be entrusted by Baruch should be found first."
Gothe was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shouted, "How is that possible?"
"Baruch. Abandoning the teachings and slaughtering the tribes in the north? Not long ago, he almost lost his life to the wolves in order to save the Snover clan from being besieged by a wave of snow wolves. How could he abandon the teachings? ”
"There are others who have betrayed the teachings. Baruch discovered that there is another behind-the-scenes manipulator behind the beast tide, most likely from within the Snowfield Guardian."
"It's just that Baruch suffered a lot in order to save the Snover clan. He was seriously injured and unable to move, so he entrusted me to help deliver the message."
Gaode kept the story short and quickly explained: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Snover clan to ask about the situation."
"The Snover clan?" Catherine, who was wearing a bronze mask, laughed, her eyes under the mask were very cold, "Where is the Snover clan now?"
Gothe was stunned, and subconsciously asked : "What do you mean?"
Catherine shouted coldly: "The Snover clan has already been submerged by the tide of snow wolves. When we arrived, the huge tribe had been turned into ruins, with bones all over the ground, and no one survived."
When Gao De heard this, his heart dropped.
How could he not react at this point? It must be the man behind the scenes who once again drove a wave of beasts to attack the Snover clan after he left, completing the annihilation.
Ninety-nine percent of Baruch, who was almost unable to move, died in this second beast attack.
More importantly, the mastermind with such ability is obviously an extraordinary person among the guardians of the snowfield.
The so-called news of "Baruch's betrayal of the doctrine" must have been deliberately released by the mastermind behind the scenes to frame Baruch.
What to do now?
Explain the specific situation?
How to explain the empty talk?
If Baruch really died in the beast tide, there is no evidence of his death, and this is a high probability event.
The mastermind behind the scenes is a big shot among the guardians of the snowfield. His arms cannot twist his thighs. How can he, a foreigner, prove his innocence and protect himself? Isn't he at the mercy of others?
Run?
There is no way to run. The opponent is a hunter among the Snowfield Guardians, at least a second-level mage. If he runs, he may suffer serious consequences.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Gaode's mind, and finally he found that he was trapped in an unsolvable situation.
He never thought that a simple message transmission task would bring him such a big trouble.
"You'd better come with us honestly." Catherine, wearing a bronze mask, said coldly.
At this moment, Gao De really feels like a mute eating yellow lotus and feeling indescribable pain.
“Don’t worry, our snowfield guardian’s teaching is to protect the snowfield, never kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone convict the guardian easily.”
“If the guardian of Baruch is finally found It's innocent, and we will definitely not make things difficult for you again." Naloic even kindly comforted Gothe.
It’s just that Gaode obviously didn’t dare to have such expectations.
Even Baruch could eradicate the mastermind behind this. He is a first-level mage, and he is still on someone else's territory, so he must be able to handle it casually.
"There's no need to talk so much nonsense to him. We didn't take action directly, which was enough to give him face." Compared to Loic, Catherine was much more indifferent.
"I know." Among the two, Catherine obviously had a higher status, so when Naloyqi heard the words, he just shrugged and replied, and then slowly walked forward and approached Gothe.
"You'd better not think too much. If you force me to take action, I may not be able to control the severity."
Gothe watched Loic gradually approach, and finally He gritted his teeth, quickly cast an [Ice Skating Technique] on himself, and ran away.
Although Loic and Catherine were able to track themselves in the vast snowfield, which is enough to show the strength of the other party, it is not Gaode's style to just surrender without trying.
What if the other party just bluffed him?
Without knowing the exact level of the opponent's mage, anything is possible.
But as soon as Gao De raised his legs and ran two steps, Catherine let out a cold snort.
Subsequently, Gothe felt a violent impact on his mind, as if an invisible force suddenly slammed into the depths of his brain.
For a moment, his thoughts became confused and everything in front of him became blurry.
Then, a strong sense of numbness swept through the whole body, spreading from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
Gothe's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his whole body froze in place, as if he had been given an anesthetic.
Level 2 enchantment spell, [Human Immobilization Technique]!
Gothe has been controlled by this powerful magical power, and it has become difficult to even blink. Only his mind can still function, and he can realize what kind of attack he has been hit by.
This time he no longer took chances.
The opponent is indeed a genuine second-level magic mage.
Roic walked slowly towards Gothe, shook his head and said: "Why bother? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Gothe couldn't move, and he already understood in his heart that he was This time, there was really no room for resistance, and I could only follow the other person's wishes.
After speaking, Loic took out an exquisite ice crystal bottle from his pocket.
As soon as the ice crystal bottle was opened, a chill hit my face.
Gothe took a glance and found that the bottle contained many tiny ice needles.
These ice needles are as big as vellus hairs, and there are about twenty in number.
"Look at this guy's mental strength, he is just a first-level mage who has just been promoted." Catherine and Luoic, who had just cast [Human Immobilization Technique] to control him, said lightly. [Human Immobilization Technique], as an enchantment spell, is essentially a mental attack and only takes effect on beings whose mental strength is weaker than the caster's.
During this mental confrontation, as a spellcaster, Catherine could also detect the intensity of the opponent's mental power.
Of course, the premise is that the mental power is weaker than hers.
This is like an arm wrestling match. The winner naturally knows the specific strength of the loser.
But the losing side has no way of knowing how powerful the winner is. It can only know that it is greater than itself.
"I have just been promoted to a first-level mage. Those five should be enough." Hearing what Catherine said, Loic nodded.
Then, he took out five crystal clear ice needles as thin as hair from the ice crystal bottle.
Then, under Gothe's watchful eye, Loic's technique was like that of a skilled old Chinese medicine practitioner. He turned his wrist slightly and rotated the five ice needles one by one in an extremely elegant gesture, like acupuncture. Gently insert it into the key acupuncture points of Gaode's body.
Every insertion of an ice needle was accompanied by slight tremors in Gothe's body, but he tried to stay calm.
"What is this?" At this time, the effect of [Human Immobilization Technique] has expired, and Gothe's face changed slightly when his body regained consciousness, and he couldn't help but ask.
“Forbidden Ice Needle, you may not think it is as thin as a hair, but its main material is perfect ice.” Loic introduced it to Gaode during his leisure time by preparing the ground.
"Zhen Bing?!" Gao De was shocked. Even a foreigner like him who had just entered the northern border had heard of Zhen Bing's reputation.
“Yes, the reason why they are called Forbidden Ice Needles is because I use special techniques to insert them into your mana walking route, and only I can take them out of your body.”< br>
Loic explained: "On the surface of the ice needle, we have attached a layer of special material to isolate the cold. Normally, this forbidden ice needle will not have any impact on your body."
"But as soon as you want to use mana to cast a spell, you will inevitably touch these ice needles during the flow of mana, and then the forbidden ice needles will be activated to release the chill of perfect ice."
Loic's eyes became sharp: "The coldness of Zhenbing is the worst in the world. Even people of ice blood cannot bear it, let alone you, a foreigner."
"Even just a little bit of Zhenbing is enough to make you experience the pain of not wanting to live."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Luoic grinned, showing his white teeth.
Gaode's heart was slightly shuddering, and his expression had become extremely ugly.
He tried to mobilize the magic power of his body, trying to verify whether what Loic said was true or a bluff.
The next moment, his mana touched some indescribable foreign object.
Then, a bone-deep, indescribable extreme chill erupted from his body.
This kind of coldness is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart and going straight into the bone marrow. In addition to the cold, it also brings incomparable severe pain to Gaode.
In just an instant, Gothe was gasping for air, his face became as pale as paper, and large drops of cold sweat were shed on his forehead.
One sight is worth less than a hundred hearings, and a thousand things are worth less than a hundred views.
I have always heard that there is no one like Zhen Bing Han in the world, but only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrifying it is.
Even if Gothe has the body of primary ice protection, it is useless in front of this kind of coldness.
Seeing Gothe's expression, Loic raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "Do you believe it now?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, just try it once and forget it. If you come here a few more times, the coldness of Zhenbing will cause great harm to your body."
"But you are still a man. For most people, it is painful when they feel the coldness of Zhenbing for the first time. You can't even stand still, and you didn't even hum." He even had the thought to praise Gao De.
Of course, Loic didn't know that this was because Gothe's experience in prison had made him adapt to a very high level of pain tolerance.
"We usually only use this thing for really troublesome people. If you use it on a first-level mage, you can be regarded as a respectable one." On the other side, looking at Gothe whose expression gradually returned to normal, Catherine snorted coldly.
With the Forbidden Ice Needle, Gaode is equivalent to an ordinary person, unable to cast a single spell.
Naturally, the two of them don’t have to worry about Gaode’s tricks.
"That's a great honor." Gothe suddenly calmed down and responded calmly to Catherine's undisguised "sarcasm".
This reaction made the two of them look slightly sideways.
Most mages collapse after discovering that they cannot use their magic power.
For extraordinary people, losing extraordinary power is often more difficult to accept than losing life.
It is really rare for someone like Gaode to be able to regain his composure so quickly.
In fact, what the two of them didn't know was that Gothe not only regained his calm at this moment, but even became a little happy.
Because just when the forbidden ice needle was triggered, there was some natural information coming along with the ice cold:
[Withstand the extreme cold, your cold resistance increases by 100.3%].
Information from the feat [Adaptive].
The cold resistance, which had stopped improving long ago and was fixed at 100.1%, jumped up by 0.2% to 100.3% at the moment he triggered the forbidden ice needle.
And this is just a momentary improvement.
And, the [Adaptive] triggered by the Forbidden Ice Needle doesn’t stop there:
[Withstand the pain of extreme cold, the ability to withstand pain is increased by 67.5%].
【Suffering from extreme cold injuries, your body's injury recovery ability is increased by 1.1%】.
A forbidden ice needle triggers three [Adaptive] improvements, including the cold resistance of the primary Ice Blessed Body that has evolved.
A blessing in disguise?
This forbidden ice needle, on the surface, is a restriction and a shackles on him, but in fact it can also be regarded as a "cheating device" to quickly gain experience.
With [Adaptive], he can improve his cold resistance by constantly actively triggering the forbidden ice needle.
And when the cold resistance improves to a certain level, for him, the cold of Zhenbing is just like scratching an itch, which is generally innocuous.
The so-called forbidden laws naturally defeat themselves and lose their meaning.
This feeling of freedom at your fingertips relieved Gothe's originally depressed mood a lot.
However, the only thing that can be relieved is the crisis from the "Forbidden Ice Needle". How to get rid of this black blame, Gaode still has no clue.
