By this time, the sky had already darkened.
For the niru bug people, it's time to rest.
Although they had been starving for a whole day, Halua and Kalus decided to continue to endure it.
As the white dragons over there all burrowed into the ground, the two insect-men over here were floating unsteadily into the darkness.
The compound eyes can no longer capture much light, but their large eyeballs are still silently paying attention to the surrounding movements as the tentacles rotate.
Especially, the movements of the orc slaves of the White Dragon King!
I don’t know how long I spent groping in the dark. Finally, the tentacles on Halua’s head tapped toward my companion. There was no squeaking sound, but there was a vibration similar to telepathy. Its thoughts were directly transmitted to its companions.
"We've completely gotten rid of those mindless orcs. Just sleep here."
Carruth's tentacles also moved slightly: "You are injured, you go down first. Leave the cleanup to me."
Halua didn't argue about anything. He just nodded lightly and burrowed into the layer of ice and snow. He didn't know what his innate ability was. He didn't even see how it dug, so its body gradually sank in. ground.
Carruth, while observing the surroundings with his big eyes, carefully cleaned up the surroundings, including all traces of his journey, and even cunningly placed some confusing footprints.
After Halua's body was almost completely submerged into the ground, it followed it calmly, eventually filling up the ground again, and using its natural ice power, it froze the surface ice and snow. It must be as if no one has ever set foot here.
The cave dug by Halua slopes downward.
The two insect men took turns taking turns, and after drilling down for dozens of feet, they stopped with their fatigue showing.
One on each side, the two of them squatted on the ground panting heavily, even their big eyes were rarely closed.
Slowly, their breath began to weaken again. Not to mention underground, even if they were hidden and lurking on the surface, I am afraid no one could hear them.
I don’t know how long it took.
In this dark and airtight cave, Carus's slight creaking sound quietly sounded: "Is the prophecy that that guy mentioned is bluffing us?"
They have no idea of serving humans, let alone the Archmage. Serving such a person, who knows when, they will be dismantled directly.
However, they could hear the threat from the Archmage.
Prophecy! Blinded!
"Don't be anxious. Whether the prophecy is accurate or not has nothing to do with us. We didn't disobey his instructions. We were just resting and recuperating. Wait patiently and see if he will come looking for you."
Halua responded softly without opening his eyes.
It is also not sure whether the Archmage can predict their location.
After all, they are considered natural magical creatures, and they also have certain talents in hindering prophecies.
However, the Archmage is indeed mysterious.
It didn't dare to really take risks, so it had to "rest" for a period of time, or even "sleep" for a period of time, and then see if there was anything abnormal!
"That's all. Just wait."
Kallus soon stopped talking.
The two of them seemed to be hibernating, almost condensing all the life breath, including the magic breath in the big eyes.
The cave is as silent as death.
…
At this time, the underground ice palace.
Isaac and Simondega, however, were almost able to communicate and negotiate.
Both dragons are the kind of extraordinary dragons who can make up stories on the spot with their eyes open. One is interested in the blue forest world, and the other wants to further determine whether the five-color dragon envoy is part of a conspiracy through understanding the other world. kind.
But the exchange was so intense that it was extremely enjoyable.
Of course, while they were having fun, they did not forget about business.
Simondega said that he would gather an army as soon as possible and launch a general attack in lightning.
Isaac learned more about the power of Frostfire Roar, which also hinted that he would focus on catching this legendary war hammer!
Not long after, the two dragons reached a formal verbal agreement.
Without asking Simondega to arrange a place to live, Isaac just walked around the iceberg palace for a while, paying special attention to certain magic restrictions, and then quickly left the underground palace.
After all, he still has "business" to attend to!
On the surface, deep in the Hanchuan Mountains.
"You can hide!"
"Let you hide for a while longer. I will find you again when the 'Oath-Binding Contract' is ready."
A few drops of green blood floated in the palm of his hand, and amid the mysterious magic fluctuations, Isaac opened his eyes after a moment of deduction.
With a thought, these drops of blood were put back into the laboratory.
Astonishingly, it was the blood of the insect-man Halua.
When he gave it a lightning beam, he collected some specimens.
With this specimen in hand, coupled with his analysis of the nature of magic, he can almost be said to be proficient in all the eight major factions, and his mastery of prophecy is by no means inferior to some archmages who specialize in prophecy. The two niru worms were good at hiding, but they still couldn't escape his plan.
After roughly grasping the location of the insect man, Isaac closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on a certain mountain peak, his mind gradually sinking into a meditative state.
…
And the other side.
"Sir, do you believe what he says?"
With Isaac leaving, there were only two white dragons left in the underground ice palace.
Angelina looked at the White Dragon King, and there was clearly hesitation in her eyes.
"Believe it or not, it is necessary to try! Whether it is for the Land of Frost, it is for the White Dragon Crown."
"However, we can't just do whatever he says."
"Have someone notify Jakura and tell him directly that I want to know everything about the Five-Colored Dragon Envoy! Let's see how he reacts."
"However, the gathering of the army cannot be slowed down. In this way, I will personally lead the army and join forces with him to deal with the frost giants. But Jagula and the others do not need to show their faces. Let them hide in case there is any unexpected situation."
There was a calmer and more indifferent look in Simondega's eyes.
The green dragon messenger's words were nice, and he even assigned the "mission" of the five-color evil dragon in this world to him... But as long as the white dragon crown did not come to his head for a day, he would definitely still keep it. Enough vigilance.
"What about Byron?" Angelina's eyes moved again.
"Call him here too. If everything goes as usual, after the frost giant is dealt with, before I come back, you will be temporarily in charge of Minghan Hanchuan, and he will assist you from the side... Let me take a good look. Your ability leaves little Byron speechless." Simondega continued to impress his "most beloved child".
If you want your children to do well, you must let them think beautifully.
This is the truth he realized after coming into contact with those human races in his early years!
This truth was applied to the two children, but it made them contribute a lot of effort to this Hanchuan land. His dearest child even contributed half of the dragon horn.
Under Simondega's "old father" gaze, Angelina raised her head and said, "I will never let you down. I will arrange things now."
Simondega nodded with relief, then sat and watched her walk out of the hall, and soon disappeared outside the ice palace.
…
late at night.
After the usual meditation and feedback.
Isaac, in human form, was like a ghost, floating silently among the rivers.
The green blood once again reached the palm of his hand. With the combination of prophecy and detection, the direction was definitely correct.
However, under dark vision, the traces on the snow...
His eyes wandered over some obscure traces on the steering wheel, and combined with the deduced directions, there was a hint of admiration in Isaac's eyes.
"Is it a natural instinct? Or is it an ability gained from experience after wandering for a long time?"
Without walking in the direction of the trace, Isaac's figure drifted towards the predicted direction.
Not long after, his figure stopped again, looking around in a circle. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his double vision opened.
In the blink of an eye, a place on the ground covered with ice and snow that was completely the same as the surroundings fell into his eyes.
The spiritual consciousness passes through here and then winds down...
Isaac's eyes quickly settled down, but he did not speak, only raised his finger.
In his warlock spell list, "Fireball" replaced "Acceleration".
A blazing bean formed rapidly, and following his raised finger, the fire bead shot straight towards the target ground.
The next moment, there was a low-pitched explosion and a huge pyrotechnic circle. In an instant, this dark place was illuminated brighter than during the day.
On the ground, due to the extremely high temperature, the ice and snow within a large area were evaporated almost instantly, and a dark cave was immediately revealed under the fire.
Deep in the cave.
They were "sleeping", but at the moment when the fireball technique exploded, the two insect men's big eyes on their tentacles opened wide almost immediately.
Under the impact of the heat wave, the two people looked at each other for a moment, showing deep fear in their eyes!
Unexpectedly, he was really locked into that person's prophecy!
What should I do?
Both of them looked extremely ugly.
At this time, a voice came from above: "Aren't you coming up yet?"
In the sound, the fluctuation intensity of the fire element above also weakened rapidly.
At this juncture, the insect man did not dare to shrink his head any longer.
Halua quickly adjusted the expression on his face. He was afraid a moment ago, but now he was filled with joy. He crawled and rushed to the surface. When he saw Isaac, he said in surprise: "Arch Mage, you Lao Ke finally came out. The ice orcs here are so rude, they don't even have the most basic hospitality. Unfortunately, we have been hungry all day, so we can only sleep and wait for you to wake us up."
"Really?" Behind the golden mask, Isaac had a strange look in his eyes, "I thought you were hiding to avoid my detection."
"Of course I don't dare. Being able to follow the Archmage is already our highest honor. How can we avoid the Archmage." Kalus also climbed up and hurriedly swore the same assurance.
"Very good! You said so, and I believe it."
Isaac still trusted these two insect men, and he nodded with pleasure and raised his finger again.
There was powerful dark magic around Karus, and in just a moment, a large number of giant black tentacles were summoned from the void.
Before Kallus could say anything, the swarms of tentacles had already directly entangled and imprisoned its body.
It is the fourth-level spell "Black Tentacle"!
But he is not preparing to be in the mage position, but to select the spells in advance from his warlock-like spell list!
Halua's injury has not yet recovered, and his expression can't help but change drastically at this time: "Arch Mage, what are you..."
"I have always respected oaths."
"Since you two want to follow me, I will really give you a chance."
"This is the 'Oath-Binding Contract'. When I am in this extreme northern ice field, you two must obey all my orders. When I leave the ice field, you will regain your freedom."
"If there is no problem, you will sign it first."
Isaac looked at Halua, who was not imprisoned by the black tentacles.
At the same time, he raised his hand for the third time, and a magic altar seemed to appear out of thin air in the void.
The altar was already in operation, and countless magic spirit patterns appeared in layers around Halua.
A feeling of being tightly bound, and at the same time, there is also a message that naturally flows from the psychic ability: Only by making a contract can you escape!
It's just this contract, this oath...
The expression on his face was almost unsustainable, and the deep powerlessness in Halua's eyes...
"What? Do you think it's not enough to be limited to the ice field?"
"Or do you mean that you have no intention of following me? Are you just perfunctory with me?"
Halua didn't respond for a long time, and Isaac's expression also darkened. The black tentacles that were just imprisoning Karus suddenly began to tighten. Even the insect-man's carapace was in the tentacles. Under the crushing force, they couldn't bear it.
At any moment, the insect-man's body may feel like it will be crushed.
Halua took another deep breath and suppressed the many grievances in his heart: "Following the Archmage is our long-term yearning. How can we regret it? But, in order to obey 'all orders'... I still need to ask you." Let’s think about it again.”
Things like contracts are most prone to trouble, and they are those general concepts.
Seeing that there were almost no options left under the great mage, Halua could only make as many optimizations and adjustments as possible in certain aspects of the contract.
"What do you want?" Isaac stared at him indifferently.
"I just hope that the Archmage will add two restrictions before it."
"First, without endangering our lives."
"Secondly, we cannot touch the traditional customs of the Nilu bug people."
"Please ask the Archmage to make it happen!"
Halua bowed heavily.
This guy has accepted the reality, but he is still as sensitive as ever about his focus.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't endanger lives.
Isaac still didn't bother to do the task of letting them die. If he really wanted to do it, wouldn't it be better for him to do it himself?
However, the traditional customs of the Nerucians are not touched!
This may not be a good grasp.
Who knows if the customs of the Nilu bug people still include not asking about related things?
He is actually very interested in these so-called wandering insect men!
However, "vow binding" can never be achieved against one's will.
Especially, he also expanded the scope so much.
Normal "vow binding" is mostly focused on something, or just a few things.
After pondering in his heart for a moment, Isaac slowly nodded generously: "According to your wishes, it is not necessary. Traditional customs, whether they are yours or others, should be respected. It has to be there.”
His nod.
Not long after, the layers of magical aura of the "Oath-Binding Contract" suddenly shone.
In Halua's soul consciousness, a certain form of imprint also appeared.
He was not the only one. Soon, another oath-binding contract was formed, and Kallus also completely concluded it.
…
And this time.
From another secret exit of the underground palace, the figure of White Dragon Angelina also disappeared silently into the night sky.
