Act 142: Bet

Until we crossed the entire glacier, the Frost Fang, the king of the frost-eating giant insects that was supposed to exist in the game, had never appeared. There were only some frost souls in the snow. These undead creatures were said to be those that lingered under the glacier and froze to death.

They are generated by the souls of travelers. They are similar to ghosts, but they look like ice monsters that haunt snow-covered forests. Fortunately, they are not very powerful. The little female dragon, Brando and Vero

Nika dismissed it casually, without even using the Gray Sword Master to take action. Of course, the three of Charles also gained a lot of experience.

The experience and drops of the mobs in this large dungeon are also very rich. Unfortunately, getting the elapsed pointer today has obviously ruined Brando's character. None of the dozens of frost souls dropped anything.

Good thing, there is not even a high-level white equipment. Brando is a little bit tearful. If the elapsed pointer he got is a set, it would be worth it, but it is only half, and the character that should be lost is still needed.

It would be too unfair to drop it.

After crossing the glacier, the team entered the mountain again through a cave hidden in the valley. Under Brando's guidance, everyone turned around a long artificial corridor, as if suddenly, a spectacular scene appeared

The scroll seemed to fall from the sky and appeared in front of everyone. It was a majestic temple embedded in the heart of the mountain. It was hundreds of feet high and used arch beams to open up a towering trapezoidal space. The temple followed the structure of Milos they had seen on the ground.

The architectural style of the ruins, but beams of sky-blue light hang down from the dome of the temple, like sharp swords hundreds of feet long, falling on the blue ice surface, intersecting with the tilted beams and columns.

Forming patchwork shadow patches.

The temple is so majestic, like a giant sandwiched in the heart of the mountain that independently supports the glaciers on both sides. When people walk out of this narrow walkway, they can only feel as small as dust.

Everyone couldn't help but whisper in their hearts, and even Brando had already read the description in the guide. At this moment, his mind was shaken. This is the Eternal Square, and beyond that is the Spiral Hall. This is where

A civilizational creation of the previous era, the square was still echoing with the tragic screams from that war, and then everything disappeared. Only the silence of thousands of years later was left.

"What is that?" The little prince ran to the front at some point. He stared curiously at the groups of blue light balls swimming in the square below and asked.

"Breath of Ice."

Those are the activation magic awakened from the ancient battlefield by the dark magic, but the number is somewhat astonishing. From one end of the square to the other, there are at least a thousand of them, scattered dotted like stars in the night sky.

Stars. Veronica couldn't help but feel a little troubled when she saw this scene. This kind of ancient activation magic is quite difficult to deal with. If there were dozens, it would be easy to deal with, but with these tens of thousands, even if she and the Gray Sword Master took action together,

Coupled with the little female dragon or Brando, I am afraid they will also end up being drowned.

"Kill him directly?" She took a breath. The current scene also proved from the side how brutal the battle in ancient times was, and how intensive a burst of magic was needed to cause so much activation magic to gather here thousands of years later. Wo

There is another ancient battlefield in Ende. It was the place where the final battle between the four sages and the Dragon of Darkness broke out. It is now called the Place of Death. There is also a large amount of activation magic active in it, but the number is not as high as here.

It's outrageous. The dozens of miles long battlefield is just filled with hundreds of activation magics, but here... Veronica couldn't help but shook her head: "I'm afraid it will take several days to clean up."

"We don't have that much time. Behind us is the Spiral Hall. Anlek and the others should be fast at this time. We must be one step ahead of them." Brando immediately replied: "I'll divert these things away. I'll do it later."

Give you the signal and you will cross the square."

"no!"

"No!" Brando was startled for a moment, and turned around. Only to find that it was the little female dragon and Medisa who spoke against him. The little female dragon looked him up and down, and replied with some dissatisfaction: "You are me

Do you want to seek the owner’s opinion before making any arbitrary decisions about your toys?”

Medissa was more worried: "Lord, your status is different from the past, so there is no need to take risks yourself. As a superior, you must learn how superiors behave."

Brando raised his eyebrows, why did this line sound so familiar? He looked at the little Silver Elf princess and asked: "What else did Antitina say to you?"

The little silver elf princess's face turned red and she hesitated: "No... no,... this... this is what I want to say."

Brando looked at the blushing Medisa and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He probably didn't expect that the little elf princess also had such a side. He was about to comfort her, but at this time Veronica also spoke,

Her opinion was similar to that of Medissa: "Brando, you are not the strongest among us. The little princess is right. Leave it to me or Mephistopheles."

Brando shrugged and ignored the little female dragon's previous messy words. However, he had his own opinion on Veronica's problem. In fact, it was not as dangerous as imagined, it was just attracting monsters. In the game

If a warrior who has reached level 100 as a pure professional can't even do this, it would be better to just buy a piece of tofu and kill him. Moreover, luring away these ice breaths here is a very famous technique. Back then, players fought here

Material

, this is a necessary method. Although Brando has not tried it personally, he cannot say that it will not work.

But that’s not to say that Mephistopheles or Veronica themselves can’t learn this technique. It’s actually not difficult, but the problem is that this technique requires a prerequisite, which is familiarity with the terrain. And among everyone present

, only he can barely meet this condition. And there is no room for mistakes. Once surrounded by thousands of ice breaths, even Mephistopheles will not be able to escape easily. Once it evolves into

It would be great fun to fight head-on. As Veronica said before, I'm afraid it won't be over in a few days.

So he finally shook his head: "Ms. Veronica, teacher, it's not difficult to lure these monsters away, but do you know where to lure them? I know, because I am more familiar with this place than you. First of all,

Let me give it a try. Don't worry, if it feels difficult, I will find a way to go back the way I came."

"How did you come back?" Brando's perfunctory attitude obviously failed to fool the Cruz army commander.

"Uh..." This lie was hard to tell. Brando hesitated for a moment before replying: "It's hard to tell. I will figure it out myself."

Veronica stared at him suspiciously.

Brando sighed. He could only explain: "Ms. Veronica, please don't worry, do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't care about my own safety? Well, maybe I can give it a try for Eruin, but

I am not noble enough to do things for you Cruz people, so please trust me, okay?"

This statement finally impressed the female regiment leader, although it sounded a bit unpleasant. Even Prince Lenaret behind him couldn't help but snorted coldly, feeling that Brando's statement was too arrogant, Cruz people

When did you have to ask for the help of the Eruin people? Veronica looked at him deeply and replied deliberately coldly: "This is true, for little naughty people like you and those guys who advertise self-sacrifice

There is still a gap, although you often pretend to be so demagogue."

Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. He knew that Veronica was talking about the scene that happened in the Ring of Trade Winds. But at that time, he really had no intention of sacrificing himself for the Druid or the Tree Elf. He just wanted to

He just found a way out in a desperate situation. He turned around and saw that most of the Cruz people who were unfamiliar with this experience had blank faces, but several of his subordinates were snickering, especially the little Silver Elf princess, who smiled particularly sweetly.

.

But no matter what, Veronica finally didn't object.

He turned around again, and his teacher Gray Sword Saint also said nothing. He only nodded slightly to him and replied lightly: "Since this is what you asked for, then be careful and give yourself more opportunities to hone yourself.

This is also a good thing for you." Brando raised his eyebrows. I have to say that his teacher is also a strange person. Maybe standing out from thousands of monsters is really nothing to him.

After all, this person was the one who fought his way out of the encirclement and suppression of the Cruz Empire's core area by the army.

This is really incomparable. You must know that among those who participated in the encirclement and suppression of him, there were many people of Veronica's level. Compared with these people, the threat of Breath of Ice is only slightly stronger than that of a pet dog.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and gestured to his wizard attendant not far away: "Char, come with me."

Luring monsters is a technical job. Although it can be done by one person, it is really difficult with his current strength. With the help of a wizard, it will be a big difference. The key is that Ciel is his summon. If he encounters danger,

, he can reset him at any time. If he brings others with him, it will be more or less in the way at critical moments, and the main reason is that he does not want to let Veronica and others know some of his little secrets.

Facing the call from his lord, Charles could only sigh and spread his hands, as if he had already expected that he would be indispensable for any hard work anyway.

"Lord, I didn't owe you anything in my previous life."

"It's hard to say, but I think I probably owe someone." Brando replied helplessly.

"Someone?"

The young wizard turned around, only to find that Brando had just taken a step out when someone grabbed the corner of his clothes with a hand. Brando had no choice but to turn around, and met Qian's bright and somewhat worried eyes: "You

Wait for me here, Qian, I'll be back soon. Oh no, we should meet on the other side right away, okay?" Brando felt that coming back right away was a bit too unlucky, why did he come back?

So he quickly changed his words.

However, the red-haired girl looked at him and shook her head seriously.

That's what 'no!' means.



The warning range of Breath of Ice is about thirty feet, the perception of activation magic is very poor, and his level is higher than the theoretical entry level of the Hibernator Temple, so Brando gets closer to about twenty-five feet.

Only then did he stop. Ciel followed suit behind him. The stealth ability of wizards was far inferior to that of warriors, let alone compared to nightingales. However, magic could solve this problem. He used a sound-absorbing rule to absorb the sound of his footsteps.

It's completely gone, so the steps sound lighter than Brando's.

Later, there was Qian. Brando couldn't convince this mountain girl, so he had to let her follow. Fortunately, Qian's strength was not weak, and she had dragon blood. She had to compete with those who were good at detecting.

It might be difficult to hide the sound in front of monsters, but for a half-deaf and half-blind creature like Breath of Ice, it's still no problem.

But Brando looked back and saw the sneaky faces of Aloz and Star.

"What are you doing here?" Brando stared at them angrily.

"I'm afraid I'll lose my toy." Aloz's answer was matter-of-fact.

"She caught me." Star replied on the verge of tears.

Brando was a little speechless. If he had known better, he might as well have led everyone to break out. It would be a fantasy for these four or five people to attract monsters together. He could only make a fierce gesture to Aloz: "Later.

Follow my command."

"What kind of attitude do you have!" The little female dragon seemed very dissatisfied. However, she hesitated for a while and added: "...but if it makes sense, I can still consider it."

Brando sneered slightly, hid behind the first beam and pointed to the beam on the other side and said: "Did you see that side? The attack method of Breath of Ice is ray, and the range is about one hundred and two hundred and twenty."

About ten feet, they move by flying, and their moving speed is about fifteen feet per second, but we have five opportunities to avoid their pursuit through the pillars. Therefore, our own burst speed cannot reach more than twelve feet per second.

Just go back obediently."

As he spoke, he turned back and looked at the others.

But Aloz looked at him as if he were an idiot: "What are you looking at?"

"Of course it's a question," Brando replied.

"Are you an idiot? We are dragons." The little female dragon replied angrily: "Even if we walk, we can run faster than you."

"He too?" Brando pointed to the fat man next to Aloz with his chin.

"Lord, although I don't like sports very much, I am still faster than you." Star replied angrily with his belly bulging.

Brando couldn't help but touch his face, feeling that he had made a mistake. As a golden people, dragons are a fighting race. Naturally, their physical fitness is not compromised. He just kept the habits he had when he was the leader of the group subconsciously.

He asked, but forgot about this. He looked at Qian again. The mountain girl did not answer, but she was half dragon blood, so there was no need to say more. He had no choice but to turn his attention to Ciel.

"Lord, I have a dimensional gate." The wizard attendant considered it for a moment and replied with a smile.

"So, am I the slowest?" Brando suddenly felt confused on his face.

"This... almost." Charles looked at the others. Aloz and Star were giant dragons. Akane could also be said to be a half-dragon, and he himself had magic around him, so it seemed that he was indeed a lord.

The adults are holding back.

"How's it going, little Brando?" Aloz seemed very happy to see Brando deflated, and couldn't help but giggle: "Now you understand, we are here to help you. There is no such thing as this eldest lady.

If you help me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to complete this task. Secondly, if you are killed by these flies-like things, the toys I finally got my hands on will be gone. This is very bad."

Brando knew that the little female dragon was deliberately going against him. It seemed that she had always been worried about him ever since she knew that he gave the golden apple to Qian. However, his mind changed and suddenly the plan came to his mind:

"Aloz, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet?" The little female dragon narrowed her eyes, subconsciously becoming wary.

"Well, what I want to say is that it is not as simple as you think to lure these monsters away so that others can pass. If you think that being fast enough is enough, you are totally wrong, and I

I can tell you that even in terms of speed, you can't match me here." Brando replied: "So, I suggest that you and Star go back and act with others, leaving this place to professionals.

Handled everywhere.”

"Don't do this, I won't offend you," Aloz snorted, "But what kind of bet do you want?"

Brando secretly laughed. This little female dragon had different opinions. He had already learned this lesson and quickly replied: "Should I stop talking? It's a competition of speed to see who reaches the finish line first."

"Comparing speed with dragons," Aloz's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"

Brando nodded seriously: "The loser must unconditionally agree to a condition for the winner."

"Conditions?" The little female dragon was startled for a moment, suddenly hugged her chest, turned red and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do, shameless!"

Damn it, where did you think of it? When Brando saw the little female dragon like this, he almost screamed. He quickly raised a finger to make a silent gesture, and then poked his head out to see if it was okay.

, the breath of ice swimming outside seemed not to notice the noise here at all, and he was worthy of the title of half-deaf and half-blind. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and scolded Aloz angrily: "You are crazy.

Do you want to die here?"

Aloz looked at him hatefully, bared his fangs and argued, "Who asked you to make such a shameful request?"

"What a shame!" Brando suddenly saw the strange expressions of Charles and Star, as well as Akane who blushed with embarrassment. He just wanted to strangle this stupid little female dragon to death: "I mean,

If I win, you have to give me the real Dragon Heart." When Brando said this, he paused. After all, the Dragon Heart is the secret treasure of the Dragon Clan. He didn't know what it meant to the Dragon Clan.

Let’s talk about how valuable it is.

It's just that Princess Magdale must rely on the dragon's heart to revive, so he came up with this method out of desperation.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Star quickly shook his head: "The Dragon's Heart is mine!" But unfortunately, Aloz glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "That's it? Okay, I agree."

"Sister Aloz!" Little Fat Dragon's eyes widened.

"It doesn't matter, you can participate too." Aloz patted his cheap brother on the shoulder and replied carelessly: "This way, if he loses, he will owe each of us a request."

"Can it still be like this?" Charles was dumbfounded. He quickly raised his hand: "Then I'll join in."

Brando looked on with cold eyes, watching his young wizard attendant seek his own death, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. However, he was also a little curious and asked: "What kind of bet do you want?" Because in Brando's case,

In my consistent impression, Ciel seems to have an indifferent and casual temperament, and seems to have no other desires except for necessary magic research.

"That's nothing, I just think it's cool, doesn't it? Think about it, your master owes you a request, it feels dirty and unreasonable when you think about it." Charles couldn't help but replied with excitement,

"Holy shit," Brando had nothing to say about the weird idea of ​​his servant.

But when he turned around, he saw Akane blushing and raising her hand.

"You want to participate too?"

"Um."

"Holy shit!" For a moment, Brando couldn't help but have this idea in his mind:

This is indeed very dirty and unreasonable.
