Atlas Double Star Book

Chapter 31: The Ring

The singers said: The North Pole is further north, and the icebergs are attacking the icebergs.The entire Ocean of Storms spins underground.The giant vortex tore the coast, tore the map, and the atmosphere and sky were like torn silk.

The giant sea beast exhaled cold air, the frozen clouds drooped, and the sky was crumbling.

Suddenly the north wind rose.When the south is rich and empty, the north wind rises—holding a frost blade, wearing a big fur, and lashing the heavy door with the icy hooves of a skeleton horse.The cold wind blows first to the west, then to the south, and then to the Snake Sea.The imperial capital is cold, the flag is the first to feel it, and the human body becomes stiff and clumsy, the white mist descends and rises again, and the fields tend to be pure.The knights were apprehensive.Immediately afterwards, another gust of wind came, and ice ridges crystallized on a hundred thousand windows at the same time. Mr. Kaloyalo pressed his right hand to the glass, and as he looked out, the ground was reflecting light.

The Balder Mountains don't hold back the wind, it just moves slowly.The woods change color from north to south, the leaves swirl, Neil looks down the valley, where are the sinners hiding?When passing through the canyon, the airflow suddenly rushes, and the light one becomes powerful, and the wandering one turns to the firm one, because once it climbs to the west plateau, the cold wind is fearless, it only has the south in its eyes, and can only attack those who are seated. desire.The cold wind is hard, and in the name of winter its will is invincible.

Flowing and sharp turning, brutal and turbulent, left and right, up and down, southeast and northwest, the violent spirit is everywhere.The giant sea beast was breathing, and the mainland was like an eye closed tightly.The north wind blows, the star bell rings high, and the Tallinn of the college is like a thousand vigilant ears.But the islands are warm, and the young king is still in a dream.

Winter is coming.

"It's so cold..." Pelias couldn't help shivering.

His coat was missing and the collar was torn, and the cold mountain wind was blowing into his clothes.The shirt was cold and wet and stuck to his chest.Because of the Binding Curse, he couldn't continue to use spells to keep himself warm.

The ice man who was in charge of guarding him noticed it, and even took a piece of fur and scribbled it on him.

"Ah...thank you..."

The fluffy sheepskin made his neck itch from being scratched.Pelias felt much better. He began to observe these ice people, thinking about what kind of harsh natural environment these humans had to overcome in order to survive in the ice and the long winter.They have no words, but they still have their own knowledge.What kind of knowledge is that?Is it about how to spot the signs of an approaching snowstorm, or how to find healing herbs in the midst of days of snow?What kind of god do they believe in?How to explain the ancestors lost to the Sibyls?Pelias thought about these contents that he had never seen in the book.

The person in charge of guarding the mage is a bald middle-aged man.He also watched the mage, reaching for the gold ring on Peleas' hand.

Pelias was terrified, but his hands were tied behind his back.

"Don't take it away! This ring is very important, it..."

The Iceman took off the mage's gold ring, carefully observed the sixteen-pointed star coat of arms, and even put it on his own hand.

"Please return it to me, this is my friend's relic! Don't take it, anything is fine, don't..." Peleas almost cried.

The bald ice man froze, looking from the golden ring to the mage.Finally, with a sigh, he put the gold ring back on the mage's hand.

"Friend, gift." The Iceman said in broken Old Imperial:

"My God... thank you, really thank you for not taking it. It's the only thing Hein left, if I lose it..."

"Good friend." The bald man showed a sad expression, and pointed to a pendant hanging on his chest.It was a fox pendant carved in Ruta gold, glowing with a faint green light.

Pelias understood instantly.He had heard that the people of the ice plains would not easily give things to others, either as relics or as spoils of war.He had seen the gold ring in Heather's collection, but he didn't know who gave it to her.The scholar and the Iceman looked at each other, and even though they couldn't speak the language, they somehow understood each other's emotions.

The procession of the barbarians moved on, and Peleas felt something following them in the forest.The oppressive feeling of darkness is getting stronger...

"The number of monsters has increased?"

Peleas thought of the earthquake, and the strange runes he had found on the stone.

"You set the runes for creating monsters in many places beforehand, didn't you?" Peleas said angrily, "Then the earthquake just now, the super-large spell activated these runes...you want to destroy all the monsters in the mountain Are all creatures turning into monsters? You're crazy!"

The black mage turned his head and said with a smile: "First-class comprehension."

"So many monsters..."

How many hundred?How many thousands?Maybe more... Peleas couldn't see it, but he could feel it... It was as if he was locked in a closed room and black water was constantly pouring in.

A steady stream of beasts will attack the imperial capital.

Maybe the city walls and the knights can resist the monsters for a while, but what about the villages outside the city?Those unsuspecting and unsuspecting villagers...the children will be snatched away, and those who fail to escape in time will be chased and bitten by wild dogs.Peleas thought of Walter's village.

The Empire will abandon them.

So where is Neil?Will he be safe?Or will they be sent outside the city walls to resist the beast tide?Peleas could almost imagine that Neil would desperately save neighbors, friends, and strangers...but the knights couldn't hold on for long.Now that the black mage has awakened the veins of the earth, the power of the earth will supply the black runes all over the mountains and forests, continuously producing monsters.The defenders had just finished killing a batch, and then came another batch...

If the imperial capital survived the attack, the embarrassing emperor would definitely order the massacre of all icelanders.She would order the army to go back and let Neal kill.

Pelias shuddered.Maybe the black mage didn't care how many people would die, and that guy never thought about it from the perspective of the people of the ice field, and only regarded them as test subjects.Once the goal is achieved, it will be discarded as soon as possible.

"You are bewitched by this man," Peleas said loudly in the Old Imperial language. "He uses your hatred and pain to induce you to self-destruction."

"No," said the bald iceman.

The black mage smiled without saying a word, listening to such a solemn speech with great interest.

"If you go to attack the imperial capital, the Sibyls will retaliate and exterminate all your villages and clansmen. The Sibyls will definitely do this. Besides... I don't know what this black mage implanted in you so that you can be with The monsters are synchronized. This is a trap. The longest lifespan of a monster is only six months. Once the monster dies, you will die too." Peleas said.

The team stopped, and the people of the ice field looked at the prisoner.

"If you want to commit suicide and kill the imperial people, do you also want to let your compatriots die together?"

"No." The bald guard was very eager, but he couldn't use the Old Empire language proficiently, and finally had to speak his mother tongue fiercely.The other Icelanders were also angry and quarreled fiercely.The monster snorted anxiously and spit out a stench of white mist, and the men shouted at each other.Peleas couldn't understand it, but he knew that these people could understand Old Imperial.In the past, the empire forced the Icelanders to submit, forced them to learn the imperial language, and cut off the wizard's tongue.

"weak--!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the others stopped arguing immediately.

From among the beasts and warriors, the leader of the Icelanders came majesticly. He was already dressed for the expedition, and his stone ax was sharpened.

"Weakness, hypocrisy, and incorrigibility—!" The leader angrily grabbed the bound mage and threw him to the ground roughly.

Pelias groaned in pain.

"That's why I spurn your college! Hypocritical and arrogant, you say you are neutral and don't get involved in any country's struggles. When my father asked the college for aid, the three magi refused on the pretext of being neutral. But you indulge the Sibyls! The college Keep selling the best steel to the empire, and the empire will forge swords to attack us!"

The mage suddenly realized that the leader spoke Continental, with a pure accent, and must have received a good education.

"Have you ever been in the academy..."

"Yes," the man stomped on the mage's abdomen, "my father was very naive before, and sent me to the academy to learn your medical skills. He knew that once all the dumb old wizards passed away, none of us would be able to make herbs anymore .In fact, he doesn’t know anything about things other than the ice field. He just heard from a passing traveler that there is a college by the sea in the south, where everyone is welcome.”

Peleas' heart was stabbed.

The leader increased the strength on his feet and tortured the mage to vent his anger. He almost roared: "He always trusts the mage, but I only found out when I arrived at the academy that you mages look down on us from the bottom of our hearts. No one recognizes the Tatar wizard. When I sue the empire You pampered scholars would just say nonchalantly, 'Ah, that's cruel', and keep playing dumb. If that's the case...then I..."

Pelias coughed and said painfully: "How could this be... who is your teacher?"

The leader sneered: "She can't teach me anything at all, and she doesn't even want to admit that she is an ice native."

Is it—

"Shi Nan," the young leader turned his head away, "my former teacher was named Shinan, a self-deceiving hypocrite."

"Do not……"

The black mage spread his hands and said: "His father Artigo is indeed very friendly to the mage. You see, he is very kind to me. He accepted my opinion, and I taught the icelanders to tame monsters to fight. This strategy is very effective. The Sibyls were caught off guard. Later, he even trusted my strategy, offered his own head, and asked Trand to bring it back to the imperial capital."

"Bring the head back to the imperial capital..." Numerous terrifying conjectures emerged in Peleas' mind.

The black mage said: "This is also part of the plan, or... it is the part I most want to realize. I want to see if the daughter of the red dragon can be born after being nurtured by human blood. This is too obscure, scholars This should not be the case. You can understand it this way, I implanted the blood of the monster in the head of the former leader Atigo. When the Sibyl knight brought the head back to the imperial capital, the head has become some kind of egg. Maybe something unexpected will hatch."

"Impossible! I have done this kind of experiment, and the blood of monsters and humans cannot be fused at all. You are lying."

The black mage didn't feel embarrassed when he was exposed, but smiled and said: "It's a business secret, what's the point of saying something innocuous?"

Peleas said forcefully: "You must be using something else, some kind of medium... that can fuse the blood of monsters and humans... that black cube you took out when you summoned the earthquake. It's not the blood of a monster, it's something else."

"Before I finished, the situation took an interesting turn. A girl who made a specimen accidentally touched the thorn in Artigo's head, and was pierced by the crystallization, so she became the next host of Black Blood .She seems to be well developed at the moment, maybe she can successfully transform into a monster. Interesting? The first case of transforming from a human into a monster! Amazing! You can't do such a thing, you don't have the kind of Determined," said the black mage.

Transform humans into monsters.

Pelias felt cold all over, he should have thought of it earlier.This is what the black mage wants to achieve on the Icefield Man... But hasn't he thought about it himself?Could it be that he has nothing to do with the arrogance of the academy?

He looked at the leader.

The young man is dominated by rage, tortures him, humiliates him.

"But you are Heather's student," Peleas smiled wryly, "In that case, I have a responsibility to you."

"She doesn't deserve it!"

Enraged, the chief jumped up and stomped on the scholar's fingers.

The sound of bones breaking!

The scholar wailed in pain.He curled up on the ground, sobbing silently, his messy silver hair was covered with mud and water.

"Ah...ah..."

Seeing that Pelias refused to plead, the leader was even more annoyed.He trampled on the gold ring on the scholar's broken index finger, and then pulled at the silver hair. "Always so hypocritical, college dog..."

Before I finished speaking--

A huge black shadow leaped into the air, and a giant wolf rushed into the Iceman's team from the hillside, biting the throat of another monster!The men panicked and swung their stone axes at the berserk giant wolf. Someone was bitten off in the midst of the chaos, and the smell of killing awakened all the monsters.All of a sudden, the beasts who were originally obedient were struggling with the chains.

"Stop!" The leader stretched out his hand to direct.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards the leader like a flying arrow!A force knocked the leader down like a rolling thunder.The strange man was pressing on top of him, appearing out of nowhere.The two wrestled together.

Man with blue eyes.

Pelias couldn't believe it, and suspected that he was hallucinating again, "Neil...?"

"Get your dirty hands off him."

Neil looked at the barbarian below him indifferently, raised his dagger, and stabbed it into the bastard's palm mercilessly.

The author has something to say: Sorry everyone, I wanted to write another chapter last night to update.But I rushed halfway, and I feel that the effect is not very good.So I will not update QwQ today, I need to polish this chapter, Neil and the teacher finally meet, it should be a part of emotional release.

I'm really sorry, Dogeza!
