People who knew Roland Blackhand back then would most likely come to this conclusion if they stayed with him for a long time. Even myself, the more I recalled the past in that dream, the more convinced I became.
"...Even if he's not a bastard, he's probably a scumbag."
Stealing, cheating, robbery, assassination, extortion, kidnapping, rape, okay... the last one is not, because there is no profit from this kind of thing, pure physical pleasure is meaningless to the Avengers back then, so the previous evil deeds
Since you can gain benefits, you can also get points from the system to strengthen yourself, so you have nothing to worry about.
In order to gain the power to take revenge, he remained anonymous in the Cloud Tower and betrayed You En and his Amyra without hesitation (but judging from the actions of the witch, Amyra was not unjust), and even
Feeling that it was too slow to take the right path, he secretly became a disciple of Heloise and studied forbidden undead magic and life transformation technology. It can be said that there is no bottom line in order to gain power.
In order to find his enemies, he engaged in a series of deceptions, abductions, and thefts without any taboos. He also accepted his former disciples with a purely utilitarian mentality. Perhaps he ended up with such a betrayal and alienation. In a sense, it was also
You deserve it.
I myself never thought that the former glorious son could sink to this level driven by hatred. The more I recall the past in my dreams and remember his bottomless behavior, the more I realize the gap between my past self and my present self.
Hatred can make people crazy. It can even turn a saint into a heinous villain. Looking back now, Roland Blackhand, who returned from hell carrying deep hatred, may have had a completely distorted personality.
Perhaps I am also grateful for the final ending of the doomsday, grateful for the ending of a broken soul, grateful for the successful revenge in the end and the elimination of part of the resentment (I did not find the mastermind behind the scenes and thought I was successful), otherwise there would be no Luo Luo later.
Paladin Rolo is actually closer to the original Roland. If he still has the twisted character from the Black Hand period and meets Adam and Xiaohong, something terrible might happen.
But in a sense, maybe the darkened personality is more attractive. At least I made friends with Amyra, Heloise, Evelyn, Xueer and others in that life. It seems to be the only one among many lives.
Is it true that the winner in life is the legendary man who is not bad but who is not loved by women?
"The Roland of the past is different from the Roland of today. We have to look forward." This may be self-deception, but that's all I can think of.
But one thing is the same, Baron Blackhand is still Roland. This extremely cunning time traveler, he spent his life pursuing the illusion of ice. How can it be simple?
Transparent liquid droplets condensed on the ground. She transformed into an ice crystal-like seed, which slowly sprouted through the snow. The small rhizome was the crystallization of ice, and there was still dew flowing on the leaves. When the clouds began to fall in the sky,
Moistened by the drizzle of rain, the flower bones finally gradually opened, but the ice-crystal petals were actually the cold mist of frost.
"It's really amazing that you can master simple ice and snow magic to this extent. You actually hid a trump card back then." Dead Cat's comment made me a little proud. It turns out that experts know best.
This seems to be just a simple performance made of ice and snow, but it fully demonstrates the various forms of water - snow, frost, ice, clouds, rain, dew, fog, water vapor. What is needed is an in-depth understanding of the various forms of water.
and extremely high magic control ability.
In Ashe's magic system, the four elemental magics of wind, fire, water and earth are the basis of everything, and ice and snow magic is actually classified as an extension of water magic. In fact, most ice magic must also be practiced before specializing in ice and snow magic.
After learning water magic for a while, before they can summon ice and snow, they must first learn how to use magic to summon and control water.
For water magic, it is very meaningful to understand the various forms of water. Manipulating the nature of water can get twice the result with half the effort. Some special spells are also needed, such as "summoning mist" to create large fogs, and water illusion to create illusions.
And so on.
Roland Blackhand also became an ice magician in this way, but as a time traveler, his understanding of the various forms of water is far beyond that of ordinary mages. His specialization in magic is also combined with past physical concepts, and other mages simply combine temperature and water.
He knew that the various forms of water are only indefinite forms of the current environment (air pressure, gravity, etc.), and measured the conditions for achieving each form on the spot, such as the frequency of magic and the pressure of the environment.
relation.
Of course, if you just do this, it just increases the understanding of transformation forms, and maybe slightly increases the power of water magic, which does not make much sense. However, Roland Blackhand asked an alchemist to make a magic ring. The ring can not only
Fix a special pressure, save the magic power required for conversion, and engrave the fixed frequency and output records on
On the ring, the significance of doing this is that as long as he outputs magic power, he can choose a form of water to transform. For example, the magic power is obviously turned into ice, but what still appears is sub-zero water. Then, he
Both the magic power conversion rate and spell casting speed are far higher than ordinary mages, and even the efficiency of transforming forms is more than ten times that of ordinary mages of the same level.
He made eight such rings, and paired them with two other magic rings to cover all his fingers. In order to cover up his specialness and weakness as "Lord of the Rings", he wore black magic gloves as a cover.
He called himself Roland Blackhand and later became Baron Blackhand.
Archmages often use the highest-level spells to prove their abilities. Fast conversion does not mean that they can use higher-level magics, and they are destined to win in the duel. This is originally just a small advantage, but Roland Blackhand uses this
As a basis, build your own fighting method.
The scene in front of me is a perfect demonstration of this "black hand style".
The violent red dragon showed its outstanding fighting talent and skills. However, it could never catch the cunning opponent. The target of the heavy punch was deflected by the ice water surrounding itself, and the inexplicable ice slipping and stumbling ice on the soles of the feet always came.
So suddenly, after finally catching the opponent's shadow, the dragon's breath was focused on the shadow made by the ice mirror, and the opponent caught by the attack was an ice sculpture made of snow.
"Asshole, come out."
The more he fights, the more anxious he becomes, and the more he fights, the more impatient he becomes, but he still cannot catch his opponent.
The surrounding fog was getting thicker and thicker unknowingly. But the cold fog that was deliberately intended to kill people could only make the human-shaped red dragon unable to see the scene in front of him. Finally, unknowingly, a
The sharp blade made of ice slowly stretched out from the mist behind him.
"You think I'm a fool!"
Xiao Hong turned around and punched out, but the punch missed. The ice blade fell apart and turned into avalanches of snow, just an empty frame.
But five ice spikes suddenly stuck out from the ground. The ice blades directly inserted into Xiao Hong's thighs.
"clang!"
Unfortunately, the defense was still not broken, and when the angry red dragon turned around, he lightly touched his neck, and the sharp ice line was hanging there.
"Click"
The ice line that can cut the earth was broken directly, but the defense was still not broken.
But then, a sudden heavy rain fell from the sky, and the clouds more than three meters high suddenly hit Xiaohong's head. The falling rain only covered Xiaohong herself. Before she could escape from the dilemma of becoming a drowned rat, a ball of cold water
But it suddenly wrapped around her head, making her unable to breathe.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Xiao Hong, who was having difficulty breathing, was already furious. She hadn't touched her opponent since the battle started, and the water on her head made her even more unhappy. She completely forgot about "Don't turn into a dragon" and "Don't take out the legend."
With the promise of "the above power", he directly began to transform into a dragon, and then...
In mid-air, Ainmetheus took a deep breath.
After the ancient dragon used dragon breath to completely destroy the land where the competition was held, and when he was still a little worried about whether he had gone too far, he found that the man he was supposed to fight with was fighting the black cat, White Dragon Shota.
Drinking tea in the mountains nearby, so
Aynmetheus took a deep breath
Aynmetheus took another deep breath
Well, when the angry red dragon turned into a human form again, and the ground completely turned into a sea of fire, Heloise's comment on Roland Blackhand's Ice Illusion happened to be heard.
"It's really dirty. It doesn't have the magnanimity and dignity that a mage should have at all. The skills evolved purely for killing are no different from those rats (thieves) in the sewers."
Yes, Heloise was right. Ice Fantasy is not known for its power. Although Roland Blackhand finally reached the legendary realm, not only did he not master the forbidden spell, he did not even have a few large-scale magics. His ability
It's all about creating illusions that confuse the opponent, barriers that hinder the opponent's attacks, small means to hinder the opponent's attacks, and the ability to finally kill the opponent is also the backbone of the "Black Hand Style".
"Although it is too dirty to be seen, it is very strong, very deadly, and difficult to defend against, especially for mortals. Your attack method has given me a lot of inspiration, which is good."
The white dragon is originally a giant ice dragon. Summer, who has reached the realm of the ancient white dragon, is undoubtedly the top ice mage in the world. His evaluation made me nod silently.
Yes, pure killing skills, all designed to kill the opponent, especially for fragile humans, there are endless ways to confuse the opponent, and the hidden ice blade that directly harvests the opponent's life is just a cover, and the various forms of
Water vapor, mist, and raindrops are actually sub-zero temperatures, which can paralyze and freeze the enemy to death without even realizing it.
"Rather than a mage, it's more like an assassin who uses magic."
And those who fell in front of Roland Blackhand were many strong men far beyond his personal strength. Even the epic mage might accidentally slip and lose his balance and be killed by a thin thread obscured by the mist. "
"Blackhand Baron" is definitely not a good and upright name.
The reality that even Xiaohong in human form was defeated made me very proud. Of course I knew that even in human form, Xiaohong could easily defeat those human holy warriors, but even with infinite power
, it's meaningless if I can't fight, and if I can break through the defense, this fighting method can restrain such a brute force warrior.
As soon as Xiaohong landed, I gave her two bottles of century-old wine with a smile, and then successfully appeased Xiaohong, so Xiaohong went to drink by herself.
"How's it going? Is there anything you can give me some advice on?"
I asked Summer and Heloise to watch the battle, and competed with Xiao Hong. Naturally, it was not just for fun, but in the hope that the two magic masters could give me guidance. After all, although Roland Blackhand's ability has almost fully recovered,
, but there is still no way to integrate all the past ice abilities to break through the legendary level.
As for the two people in front of me, one is a magic genius known as the Omniscient, and the other is the ancient white dragon at the top of the ice system. If they can't find a way out, I'm afraid I can only try to go to the Snowy Mountains.
But seeing the two masters shaking their heads silently, I had no choice but to give up.
“It’s not that I don’t have any ideas.”
Heloise made my eyes light up, but I had already guessed what she was going to say next, which was probably something I didn't want to hear.
"But everyone has their own path, and I'm afraid that speaking out will affect you."
Summer's interface was also expected, and I could actually understand what he said.
Every strong person has come step by step, and it is not a fluke that he has reached this point. Why don't I know that "everyone has his own path, and if you follow other people's paths, your achievements will become narrower and narrower, and your achievements will be limited." But
The problem is, how could I ask for help if I hadn't been so depressed that I couldn't find a way out?
The time before the reservation is getting tighter and tighter, and I don’t have much time left. If I slow down this step, all plans may go wrong, and naturally I will become more and more anxious.
【Perhaps, I have a way.】
But the system, which had been eerily silent recently, suddenly spoke up.
