Chapter 246 Forbidden Ice Needle, continue to adapt!
"Are you here specifically for me?" Hearing what Roic said, many thoughts flashed through Gothe's mind, but he still couldn't figure out the other party's intention.
The main reason is that he can't find a reason why the other party came to him specifically.
Gothe carefully recalled what he had done since entering the Northern Territory, and there was indeed nothing special about it.
"Yes, we came here specifically to find you."
"You ran very fast, and it took us a lot of effort to find you." Roic looked at Gothe with a half-smile.
"I was entrusted by the guardian Baruch to come all the way from the Snover clan to your branch just to help deliver the message. No matter how great the credit is, there is always hard work. As a result, the people in your branch have ill intentions towards me." Gothe saw that the visitor from Loic was not good, and he defended himself.
"Although I don't know the specific reason, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I just ran away as soon as possible. Why did you send hunters to follow me for thousands of miles?"
"Gaode is both an accusation and a solution to doubts.
This matter, he felt a little baffled from beginning to end.
According to the situation of the Snowfield Guardian that Baruch introduced to him, not to mention being lawful good, it must be a neutral and good organization anyway. Why do you do "repay a favor with an enemy" to him?
“Entrusted by Baruch.” At this time, the masked hunter behind Gothe spoke. To Gothe’s surprise, it turned out to be a female voice.
"According to the information received by the sect, Baruch has most likely betrayed the doctrine and slaughtered the northern tribes in the snowy plains for his own selfish desires. We can't find any trace of Baruch for the time being. Naturally, we have to find you, a foreigner who claims to be entrusted by Baruch, first."
Gothe was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "How is that possible? ?"
"Baruch betrayed the doctrine and slaughtered the tribes in the north? Not long ago, he almost lost his life to the wolves in order to save the Snover clan who was besieged by the snow wolf tide. How could he betray the doctrine?"
"There were others who betrayed the doctrine. Baruch discovered that there was another behind-the-scenes manipulator behind the beast tide, most likely from within the Snowfield Guardian."
"It's just that Baruch was seriously injured in order to save the Snover clan and was unable to move, so he entrusted me to help deliver the message."
Gaude kept the story short and quickly explained: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Snover clan to ask about the situation." And the Snover clan? "
Gothe was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"
Kathleen shouted coldly: "The Snover clan had already been submerged by the wave of snow wolves. When we arrived, the huge tribe had been turned into ruins, with bones all over the ground, and no one survived." When Gothe heard this, his heart felt cold.
At this point, how could he not react? It must have been the man behind the scenes who once again sent a wave of beasts to attack the Snover clan after he left, completing the killing.
And Baruch, who was almost unable to move, was 90% killed in this second beast attack.
More importantly, the mastermind with such ability is obviously an extraordinary being among the guardians of the snowfield.
The so-called news of "Baruch's betrayal of the doctrine" must have been deliberately released by the mastermind behind the scenes, framed and blamed on Baruch.
What to do now?
Explain the specific situation?
How to explain this nonsense?
If Baruch really died in the beast wave, there is no evidence that he died, and this is a high probability event.
The mastermind behind the scenes is also a big shot among the guardians of the snowfield. His arms cannot twist his thighs. How can he, a foreigner, prove his innocence and protect himself? Isn’t he at the mercy of others?
Run?
There is no way to run. The opponent is a hunter in the Snowfield Guardian, at least a second-level mage. If he runs, he may suffer serious consequences.
Various thoughts flashed through Gothe's mind, and in the end he found that he was trapped in an unsolvable situation.
He never thought that a simple message transmission task would bring him such a big trouble.
“You’d better come with us honestly.” Kathleen, wearing a bronze mask, said coldly.
At this moment, Gao De really feels like a mute eating yellow lotus and suffering indescribable pain.
"Don't worry, our snowfield guardian's teaching is to protect the snowfield, never kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone convict the guardian easily."
"If it is finally found that the guardian of Baruch is innocent, we will definitely not make things difficult for you again." Naloic even kindly comforted Gothe.
It’s just that Gaode obviously didn’t dare to have such expectations.
Even Baruch can eradicate the mastermind behind this. He is a first-level mage, and he is still on someone else's territory, so he must be able to handle it casually.
"You don't have to talk to him so much. We didn't take action directly, which is enough to give him face." Compared with Loic, Kathleen is much more indifferent.
"I know." Among the two, Kathleen's status was obviously higher, so when Naloyqi heard the words, he just shrugged and replied, and then slowly walked forward and approached Gothe.
"You'd better not think too much. If I'm forced to take action, I may not be able to control the severity."
Gothe watched Roic getting closer, finally gritted his teeth, quickly cast himself an [Ice Skating Technique] and ran away.
Although Roic and Kathleen were able to track themselves in the vast snowfield, which is enough to show the strength of the other party, it is not Gaode's style to just surrender without trying.
What if the other party is just bluffing him?
Since the level of the opponent's mage cannot be known exactly, anything is possible.
But Gothe had just raised his legs and ran two steps when Kathleen let out a cold snort.
Subsequently, Gothe felt a violent impact on his mind, as if an invisible force slammed into the depths of his brain.
In an instant, his thinking became confused and everything in front of him became blurred.
Suddenly, a strong sense of numbness swept through the whole body, spreading from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
Gothe's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his whole body froze in place, as if he had been given an anesthetic.
Level 2 enchantment spell, [Human Immobilization]!
Gothe has been controlled by this powerful magical power, and it has become difficult to even blink. Only his mind can still function, and he can realize what kind of attack he has been hit.
Now he no longer takes chances.
The opponent is indeed a genuine second-level magician and above.
Roic walked slowly towards Gothe, shook his head and said, "Why bother? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Gothe could not move, and he already knew in his heart that he really had no room to resist this time, and could only follow the other party's wishes.
After speaking, Loic took out an exquisite ice crystal bottle from his pocket.
As soon as the ice crystal bottle was opened, a chill hit my face.
Gothe took a glance and found that the bottle contained many tiny ice needles.
These ice needles are as big as vellus hairs, and there are about twenty in number.
"Look at this guy's mental strength, he is just a first-level mage who has just been promoted." Kathleen and Luoic, who had just cast [Human Immobilization Technique] to control him, said lightly.
[Human Immobilization], as an enchantment spell, is essentially a mental attack, and only takes effect on beings whose mental strength is weaker than the caster.
In the process of this mental confrontation, as a spellcaster, Kathleen can also detect the intensity of the opponent's mental power.
Of course, the premise is that the mental power is weaker than hers.
This is like an arm wrestling match. The winner naturally knows the specific strength of the loser.
But the losing side has no way of knowing how powerful the winner is. It can only know that it is greater than itself.
"I have just been promoted to a first-level mage. Those five should be enough." Hearing what Kathleen said, Loic nodded.
Hence, he took out five crystal clear ice needles as thin as hair from the ice crystal bottle.
Then, under Gothe's watchful eye, Roic's technique was like that of a skilled old Chinese medicine practitioner. He turned his wrist slightly, and in an extremely elegant gesture, like acupuncture, rotated the five ice needles one by one and gently inserted them into the key acupuncture points of Gothe's body.
Every insertion of an ice needle was accompanied by slight tremors in Gothe's body, but he tried to stay calm.
"What is this?" At this time, the effect of [Human Body Holding Technique] has expired, and Gothe's face changed slightly as his body regained consciousness, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Forbidden Ice Needle, you may not think that it is as thin as a hair, but the main material is perfect ice." Loic introduced it to Gothe during his free time.
"Zhen Bing?!" Gao De was shocked. Even a foreigner like him who had just entered the northern border had heard of Zhen Bing's reputation.
"Yes, the reason why they are called Forbidden Ice Needles is because I insert them into your mana walking route using a special technique, and only I can take them out of your body."
Roich explained: "On the surface of the ice needles, we have attached a layer of special material that isolates the cold. Normally, this Forbidden Ice Needle will not have any effect on your body."
"But as soon as you want to use mana to cast a spell, you will inevitably touch these ice needles during the flow of mana, and then the forbidden ice needles will be activated to release the coldness of Zhenbing." Even your pulse can't bear it, let alone a foreigner like you."
"Even just a little bit of Zhenbing is enough to make you experience the pain."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Luoic grinned, showing his white teeth.
Gaode felt a little scared, and his expression had become extremely ugly.
He tried to mobilize the magic power of his body, trying to verify whether what Loic said was true or a bluff.
The next moment, his mana touched some indescribable foreign object.
Then, a bone-deep, indescribable extreme chill erupted from his body.
This kind of chill is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart and going straight into the bone marrow. In addition to the cold, it also brings incomparable severe pain to Gothe.
In just an instant, Gothe was gasping for air, his face became as pale as paper, and large drops of cold sweat were shed on his forehead.
A hundred hearings are worth less than a sight, and a hundred views are worth less than a thousand.
I have always heard that there is no one like Zhen Bing Han in the world, but only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrifying an existence it is.
Even if Gaode has the body of primary ice protection, it is useless in the face of this coldness.
Seeing Gothe's expression, Roic raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "Do you believe it now?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, just try it once. If you take it a few more times, the coldness of Zhenbing will still bring a chill to your body. It will cause great harm."
"But you are still a man. Most people feel the cold for the first time. It is so painful that they can't even stand. You didn't even hum." He even had the thought to praise Gothe.
Of course, Loic didn't know that this was because Gothe's experience in prison had made him adapt to a very high level of pain tolerance.
"We usually only use this thing for really troublesome people. If we use it on you, a first-level mage, it can be regarded as a sign of respect for you." On the other side, looking at Gothe whose expression gradually returned to normal, Kathleen snorted coldly.
With the forbidden spell Ice Needle, Gaode is equivalent to an ordinary person, unable to cast a single spell.
Naturally, the two of them don’t have to worry about Gaode’s tricks.
"That's a great honor." Gothe suddenly became calm and responded calmly to Kathleen's undisguised "sarcasm".
This reaction made the two of them look slightly sideways.
General mages collapse after discovering that they cannot use their magic power.
For extraordinary people, losing extraordinary power is often more difficult to accept than losing life.
It is really rare for someone like Gaode to be able to regain his composure so quickly.
In fact, what the two of them didn't know was that Gothe not only regained his calm at this moment, but even became a little happy.
Because just as the Forbidden Ice Needle was triggered, some natural information came along with the Ultimate Ice Cold:
[Withstand the Ultimate Ice Cold, your cold resistance increases by 100.3%].
Information from the expertise [Adaptive].
The cold resistance had stopped improving a long time ago and was fixed at 100.1%. The moment he triggered the forbidden ice needle, it jumped up by 0.2% to 100.3%.
And this is just a momentary improvement.
And the [Adaptive] triggered by the Forbidden Ice Needle goes beyond that:
[Withstands the pain of extreme cold, and the ability to withstand pain is increased by 67.5%].
【Suffering from extreme cold injuries, your body's injury recovery ability is increased by 1.1%】.
A Forbidden Ice Needle triggers three [Adaptive] improvements, including the cold resistance of the primary Ice Blessed Body that has evolved.
A blessing in disguise?
This forbidden ice needle, on the surface, is a restriction and a shackles on him, but in fact, it can also be regarded as a "cheating device" to quickly gain experience.
With [Adaptive], he can improve his cold resistance by constantly actively triggering the forbidden ice needle.
When the cold resistance has improved to a certain level, for him, the cold of Zhenbing is just like scratching an itch, which is generally innocuous.
The so-called forbidden laws are naturally self-defeating and lose their meaning.
This feeling of freedom at your fingertips relieved Gothe's originally depressed mood a lot.
It's just that the only thing that can be resolved is the crisis from the "Forbidden Ice Needle". How to get rid of this black pot, Gaode still has no idea.
