On the boundless snowfield, there is only the biting wind.
The delicate bone wings behind the Wuyou Bone Convergence of the Necromancer of unknown origin only left a shallow footprint of less than a finger on the soft snow with each step. It looked more like floating than walking.
Behind her, Ye Xiaojiu, whose white windbreaker completely wrapped the girl's body, floated slightly on her toes an inch above the snow, and followed her unhurriedly.
Behind the two girls, Shi Feng was hiding in the void, always following them like a shadow.
The wind and snow are much lighter.
Relying on the relationship he quickly cultivated with Ye Qing, Wuyougu, a three-person member, successfully joined the two-man team. Although the evil necromancer would not be welcomed by ordinary people anywhere, but for the two senior magicians, In other words, she is just a professional and eccentric colleague.
Moreover, Wuyougu's specialty is orthopedics. Compared to heavy-duty professions such as making flesh puppets and resurrecting corpses, Wuyougu is simply refreshing, isn't it?
Moreover, Wuyougu's conversation is natural and simple, without the self-admiration that is common among necromancers. It is also very comfortable to talk about - for this, Her Royal Highness Princess Ye Qing endorses it.
Unexpectedly, Wuyougu's destination is also Tianlan City, but she always hides the specific target with the name "Haha". When this girl doesn't intend to tell you something, you really have no way to find her language. loopholes.
Not to mention Shi Feng, a taciturn Shitou, even Xiao Jiu, a classmate who pretends to be stupid and is very professional, can't get anything out of her.
There was just one thing Xiao Jiu was sure of - this guy really didn't have any ill intentions towards the two of them.
According to the normal speed of the caravan, the wasteland in the east of the empire can be crossed in one month, but in such bad weather, it may take about two months to force the passage.
For Ye Qing's team, the answer to this math problem is ten days.
On the third day, I met Wuyougu. On the tenth day, I came to the boundary of the snowfield. The towering snow-capped mountains began to appear clearly in my field of vision, and the huge city on the snow-capped mountains seemed to be embedded in this huge mountain range. The pearl above.
Tianlan City.
The hinterland of the Holy Snow Mountain Range with a pleasant climate, the entrance to the Liuguang River, the largest jade producing area, and the gateway to the Huaiyu Valley, the mausoleum of Lanye emperors. Just one of these three points is enough to be a reason to build a city. However, if all three points are present at the same time, Then Tianlan City stands here.
Duke Tianlan is one of the legal members of the Council of Ten. Although he will basically not travel thousands of miles to participate, this respect is the courtesy he deserves.
Ye Qing was used to seeing the exquisite beauty of Lanlan Yeye, but when he looked at the mountain city at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The core word of Tianlan City is magnificence.
It seems to be a huge city carved out of the mountain wall. Even the city walls are made of huge rocks made from local materials. The city is surrounded by mountains, but there is no mountain that is more breathtaking than this city.
"How long will it take to get up there?" Ye Qing looked at the giant city that seemed to be so close in front of him and asked the air around him.
Shi Feng was born in Tianlan City. He walked down from this city alone to the warm Ye Ye Ancient City a year ago, so there is no better guide than him for this kind of problem.
So the air slowly outlined the shape of a person, and Shi Feng replied without even thinking: "At the current speed, there is still a day and a half."
"What's the so-called running to death at Wangshan?" The bone wings on Wuyougu's back suddenly opened, eager to try: "Can I fly up?"
"If you are not afraid of being shot down as a harpy witch." Shi Feng shrugged and struck at this girl who didn't know the heights of the world.
For some reason, subconsciously, Shi Feng felt that he had a vague fondness for this necromancer.
This good feeling comes from intuition, but intuition is the most unreliable thing, so after a painful struggle as a rational animal like Shi Feng, the result of the compromise was that although he was willing to talk more to this guy, he was extremely stingy with positive energy. product.
But for Ye Qing, such a poisonous tongue Shi Feng had a brand new experience inside.
So I am very happy - said Her Royal Highness the Princess.
However, Ye Qing took a closer look at the ancient city far away in the horizon and frowned.
"Why open the barrier?"
Wuyougu looked at this magnificent ancient city curiously, and then looked back at Her Royal Highness the Princess who suddenly said to herself. She was completely unprofessional about the barrier, and Wuyougu couldn't feel the magic at all. The breath is around.
Shi Feng was an outstanding representative of the practical school, and the price he paid was that all his theoretical classes at Ye Ye were a mess. However, even with his keen sense of smell, he was slightly confused when he heard Ye Qing's words.
In his crisis structure system, the position at this time is still at a relatively safe threshold - that is, there is no obvious fluctuation of magic power and no crisis intuition.
Only then did Ye Qing realize that neither of these two people had noticed this. He couldn't help but reflect on himself, scratched his head and stuck out his tongue: "My recent specialization is magic pattern enchantment, and I'm a little obsessed."
Saying this, Ye Qing raised his hand and drew a diagram for the two of them on the snow.
Ye Qing is actually such a girl who can always surprise you. Although she is the weakest among the three in terms of strength, through her detailed picture and text descriptions, two people who are not stupid soon realized that The existence of enchantment.
Yes, there is a barrier in Tianlan City, but it is not an activated barrier, but a hidden barrier.
This involved a series of professional knowledge about enchantment. Ye Qing was not interested and did not have the time to popularize the basic knowledge of these two students, so she pointed out the essence of this enchantment to the two of them in the most concise and crude way. Core laying points, as well as the functions you speculate.
"Yes." Ye Qing sighed slightly.
"If I guess correctly, the main purpose of this barrier is early warning and facial damage, and the target is probably the beast tide."
Beast tide is a word familiar to the other two people, but along the way, they have never encountered large-scale monsters. The biggest obstacle is the bad weather. Only Wuyougu took the initiative to search during her "bone hunting" process. He provoked several large monsters and extracted their bones.
Regarding this, Wuyougu said that the density of monsters in this snowfield was frighteningly low.
But at this moment, even though they had not encountered any monsters along the way and could not find any traces of monsters in their field of vision, why did Tianlan City take the initiative to build this huge and expensive barrier as if it was facing a formidable enemy?
Because the beast tide means an abnormal gathering of monsters, leaving their habitats due to food, natural disasters and other reasons, and large-scale collective migration.
But along the way, no such signs were found.
Wuyougu knocked his head and couldn't help but smile: "Maybe we have been watched by others, so they let us here smoothly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Feng bent his body dangerously. This was a sign of the beast's strength. When placed on Shi Feng, it meant that he was suddenly ready to fight.
This boy, who had grown up in Icewind Dale, felt the assessment of his surroundings and jumped from relative safety to the edge of danger in an instant.
The source of danger comes from under the snow.
On a familiar battlefield, facing a familiar enemy, Shi Feng was countless times faster than the two girls present. Before they realized what was happening, he calmly stretched out a slender and clean right hand, With the palm of his hand facing downward, ice particles as fine as dust continued to slip from between his fingers, sinking into the snow under the guidance of gravity.
These were such tiny ice particles, sinking in the snow as if rainwater had penetrated loose gravel. However, Ye Qing looked at the place where the ice particles disappeared and couldn't help but cover his small sandalwood mouth gently.
Under the snow, slight explosions began to sound.
It was like a playful child igniting small firecrackers buried under the snow. The continuous explosions were like a series of firecrackers, but Ye Qing gently covered his mouth, not wanting to let out his exclamations.
At the same time, it also stopped the slight nausea feeling in the throat.
Ye Qing was extremely talented, and Ye was young and precocious. No matter how outstanding her life experience and talents were, the Ninth Princess herself had little experience in killing, not to mention killing.
This is the correct way to raise a princess. A princess training plan like Xingxi’s is definitely the right way to raise a princess.
Both humans and gods are angry.
So when Ye Qing realized what Shi Feng was doing, he also saw the bright red flowers blooming one after another under the snow. They looked like skins filled with blood that had been pierced with countless holes by needles under the snow.
The real situation below is almost the same as this metaphor.
It wasn't that Ye Qing didn't want to see blood, but he didn't expect that Shi Feng could really kill the thunder killer in an instant. The beings ambush under the snow, whether they were humans or beasts, were all reduced to death under Shi Feng's palm. It is Daozu fish meat.
This was an extremely efficient and cruel killing. The most efficient killing that Ye Qing had ever seen came from the girl who was in charge of the stars and the sun, but that girl was also a pleasure to watch when she killed people. Unlike Shi Feng, once the battle started, her only purpose was Put the opponent in a place of death and no life.
After those ice particles sneak under the snow and come into contact with living objects, they immediately merge with the surrounding ice and snow, so the ice and snow melt and then solidify into extremely sharp ice needles.
One ice particle is enough to create an ice needle that can pierce the human body, and the ones Shi Feng just sprinkled amounted to tens of thousands. In the blink of an eye, he turned the snow under his feet into the most dangerous and cruel spikes. In the Thorn Hell, no matter what is lurking below, they can never come out to meet each other again. Their blood condenses with the ice and snow, turning into bloody ice flowers.
At this moment, Ye Qing suddenly felt that he actually knew too little about this boy.
Instead, Wuyougu stepped on the cool snow with his bare feet, leaving light footprints. He looked at Shi Feng with a smile: "Not only do you seem to taste good, but you are also a bit admirable for your ability."
She was not afraid of Shi Feng's cruel methods at all. Instead, she said slowly with a critical tone: "A little spiritual seed can trigger the murderous intention of Xueyuan. If you follow this path, it will be a smooth road to heaven."
Shi Feng shook his head. He didn't know who this girl was. Even though he had been with her for seven days, he still lacked basic trust in her. However, although the girl didn't explain it, she also didn't hide it at all. All the details were vaguely outlined behind her. A powerful existence.
Therefore, he didn't want to get too entangled with the girl who saw through his methods at a glance and gave her such a high evaluation.
So he lowered his head and looked quietly at the snowfield with bloody ice flowers blooming under his feet, and his voice suddenly became lower.
"Instead of dying unprovoked, why not come out and meet him."
His tone was strange and low, closer to the roar of a wild beast, but it did not belong to any language of the human kingdom.
But the strange thing is that when this sentence was said, both Wuyougu and Ye Qing clearly understood the meaning of his sentence.
It was even said that the unknown ambush soldier at his feet also understood.
Ye Qing's hand covering his mouth had not yet been lowered. At this time, he subconsciously closed it a little tighter to prevent himself from subconsciously saying the name of this language out of surprise.
After all, this is a powerful ancient language that has the same origin as Elvish.
Regardless of whether the name Ye Qing subconsciously spoke was ancient animal language or a divine language referring to its essence, it would not affect the outcome of her causing unnecessary trouble.
Because this language itself is a trouble.
This language is probably one of the oldest languages on this continent. Even the golden humans of the past used this language as one of their official languages. However, to this day, only the oldest and most ancient languages are still using these languages. Powerful monster.
Because of this language, every note and byte contains its own unique power. People who speak these languages have to pay the corresponding power. For normal people, even a simple ancient beast language will consume His ten years of life.
How could such a language be passed down as a language of daily communication?
At the same time, the ancient beast language lacks complex characters as the necessary circuits to carry spells, so this kind of chatting nonsense is regarded as a magical language for chanting spells, and there is nothing extraordinary in the application of real spells. Therefore, in the human world, It has even lost its value as a spell carrier, so its loss is not a big deal.
But - this language still has a perfect advantage, and because of this advantage, it has become one of the official languages of those golden humans.
That's universal.
This kind of universality is not universal in a simple sense, but universal in a huge field.
For ancient bestiality, only both parties have hearing organs and corresponding sensory and neural structures. Then ancient bestiality can be used as a medium for communication between the two parties.
You may not be able to communicate with an earthworm using ancient bestiality, but you can definitely have a proper conversation with a mouse, or a dragon, because ancient bestiality conveys complex emotional fluctuations.
Any creature that can understand these emotional fluctuations can decompose the specific meaning contained in the language. Even if there is confusion in the details, there will never be a translation accident.
But this language can only go so far.
For Ye Qing, he only knew about the ancient beast language, which was complex, power-consuming, and completely impractical. He had never thought about mastering it.
It has nothing to do with whether it can be learned, only whether it is necessary or not.
Ye Qing also mastered a common language. Although the range of common language is slightly smaller than that of Ancient Beast Language, both in terms of skill and practicality, it surpasses Ancient Beast Language on several streets.
This language is Elvish, taught lovingly by Master Aenlu.
Elvish language is at the intersection of ancient and modern times. It has been passed down from the ancient prehistoric times to the present day. In the general field, Elvish language also has a series of simple emotional transmissions for communication, but more of them are constantly refined by elves. Complex vocabulary expresses more complex emotions under the premise of simplicity and elegance, and does not rely on gushing emotions to communicate.
To put it simply, the gap between Elvish language and ancient beast language is like the gap between Ye Qing himself and the orcs.
If there is no special need, or if there is still room for choice, no one will choose the former between ancient beast language and elven language.
You see, even in Ye Ye College, although most people do not have the energy to master a complete Elvish language, Elvish words have long been overrun in Ye Ye College.
However, as for Shi Feng himself - Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh softly.
He learned this language probably not only because he had no choice but also because of special needs.
