Lord of War

The fog around the island in the middle of the lake was colder than Xiao En imagined.

Originally, the lake fog was formed because the lake water had sufficient moisture, which turned into small water droplets when it encountered cold air. Although Sean is not a top student, he still knows such simple common sense, so he also knows that under normal circumstances, the lake fog will only appear at dawn or after nightfall, because at noon when the temperature is relatively high, the lake Fog is basically non-existent. At this time, the lake fog still exists, which can only mean that the temperature of the lake surface is relatively low, and it may only be maintained at a few degrees in a constant temperature state. Only in this way will the lake fog not be dispelled under normal conditions. Thinned.

But after walking into the fog, Xiao En discovered that the surrounding temperature was actually below zero.

It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the specific difference between minus ten degrees and ten degrees below zero, but as a strong person in the golden realm, sensing the external temperature is one of the basic abilities of this realm, because it is actually related to the consumption of battle energy degree. Compared with silver-level powerhouses, gold-level powerhouses have obvious superiority in terms of both quantity and quality. Silver-level masters are often unable to release their battle qi to form any effective means of attack, but gold Those with a strong environment can easily do it.

What is particularly obvious is that when they are not very suitable for their own environment - such as the temperature is too low or the temperature is too high, the strong people in the golden level will actually subconsciously operate the grudge, allowing it to flow quickly in the body to form a countermeasure. The surroundings create a defense. To put it simply, there will be a certain increase in resistance in the game, but the game is a passive skill, that is to say, the player cannot reverse this process, and the amount of grudge will inevitably fade with the passage of time due to the harsh environment. decline.

But in this real world, this situation is manageable.

At this moment, Sean simply did not activate this ability.

There is no other reason, his vindictiveness is not like other people can activate at will, almost every activation will cause his dark energy bar to rise. This thing is not a joke. Once the dark energy in his body breaks out beyond the critical point, the serious consequences can be imagined-according to Sean's current understanding of the system, this thing is said to have degenerated into a dark slave. It's definitely not as simple as losing control of the body and dropping a level like in the game.

It's definitely a dead end situation.

And there are only the last two pieces of [Pilgrim Holy Water] on him.

So if you can not use it, it is naturally better not to use it as much as possible.

However, as a result of fighting against nature, it didn't take long for Xiao En to enter the fog range, and Xiao En began to tremble a little. Because he found that the situation was far worse than he had imagined. It was obvious that it was only a few degrees below zero at the beginning. It was not long after entering the edge of the fog. At this time, as it gradually deepened into the fog, the temperature naturally became lower and lower. It has reached minus ten degrees.

The worst part was that the temperature seemed to be continuing to drop, but the blurred outline of the island in the middle of the lake hadn't become clear.

Sean's brows could not help but frown: "Could it be..."

"Yes." Cecilia nodded helplessly without hearing what Sean said, "It seems that the situation in the wild land is even more absurd than we imagined." While saying so , Cecilia also keenly discovered Sean's problem, so she waved and threw out a protective skill that increases fire attribute resistance-this type of skill only increases fire attribute resistance in the game, but in There are obviously other uses in this world.

Sean, whose body temperature warmed up slightly, immediately understood that this was Cecilia's move. Although this only changed the situation of minus ten degrees to minus two or three degrees, but in terms of Sean's physical fitness, this To a certain extent, it has no effect on him. So, he turned his head and smiled at Cecilia, and said softly, "Thank you."

Cecilia didn't speak, but also just responded with a chuckle.

"What's the situation?" Harding was still in a daze.

"How did you become the king of your tribe before?" Sean said helplessly.

"Of course I can fight." Harding said as a matter of course, "I'm just not good at thinking. Don't show such a sympathetic look, okay?"

Sean sighed. He began to suspect that the reason why Harding suddenly changed his position and decided to live in peace with humans was probably just a whim of this guy, and he didn't think about it from a long-term perspective at all. It's just that his political enemies—or the guys who couldn't beat him, obviously used such guys to exile Harding, and it was the most serious crime of exile among the demon clan.

In the chat between Sean and Harding, Sean now has some understanding of the punishment methods for some crimes of the Demon Race.

Like Harding's previous behavior of changing the tribe's position, it is naturally a heinous crime at a large scale, but at a small scale, it is nothing more than a change in the way of life in the tribe. Therefore, the punishment method of "exile" is open to discussion. Of course, even if the final result remains the same, it does not mean that he will be exiled to the surface world. Re-establish a new tribe in the underground world.

The reason why there are so many ethnic groups in the Demon Race, which exists in a tribal-like situation, is that this method of punishment evolved. Similarly, this is also the initial origin of the positions of different camps, so those demons who were expelled often went to live in other groups of demons. A person like Harding who was once the king of the clan is qualified to establish a new clan within the range of activities of the demon clan from other camps.

Sean sighed, obviously not wanting to answer Harding's stupid question.

Seen from the outside, the range of influence of the fog is hundreds of meters long and narrow. Considering the position of the island in the center of the lake and the length from east to west, when Xiao En and the others enter a certain distance, they should see the island in the center of the lake and even It is likely to have landed on the island by this time. Rather than the current situation, it seems that there is no approach to the island in the middle of the lake, and the outline of the island in the middle of the lake is still blurred.

"Is the space distorted again?" Heatley asked.

"Obviously." Cecilia said, "I feel obvious fluctuations in magic power. Although this space looks like it's in our world, it's actually just a 'gate'. Arrive at the real island in the middle of the lake."

"In other words, this is man-made?" Spector keenly captured Cecilia's key words.

"The Blackwater Tribe is a tribe whose ancestors worship their beliefs, so their tribal gods are actually the strong men of the tribe in the past." Xiao En looked solemnly at the island in the middle of the lake that had gradually become clear, and he understood that It means that they are getting closer and closer to the "gate" that Cecilia said, "The so-called ancestor worship is actually tantamount to saying that their ancestors failed when they became gods, and now they are recollecting the power of faith. In order to restore strength and break through to the god position... This also means that the priests in the Blackwater Tribe do not have too many divine arts, and naturally it is impossible to create such a space."

"Can I ask you to speak in human terms?" Harding looked depressed again.

"What Sean means is that this space was not created by the people of the Blackwater Tribe, they were just the first to discover it and use it." Cecilia chuckled lightly, and then began to act as a "translator" , "That is to say, if we enter this island in the middle of the lake, we will not be able to take advantage of the 'geographical advantage' like the other party, and we will probably encounter a strong opponent."

"A strong opponent!" Harding's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I'm good at fighting and killing!"

"It doesn't matter if you are good at it." Sean curled his lips, "This space must be imprisoned by obvious power. Don't forget the situation we were in that distorted space back then, no matter how strong you are, you can only show yourself* *It’s just to the limit, and I can’t get help from any other aspects.... This space is very similar to that space.”

"Is it also the sanctuary of the god of death?" Xitli exclaimed.

"No." Cecilia shook her head, "I can feel strong traces of magic power, which proves that this space is man-made. This is why Sean just said that the Blackwater Tribe could not create such a space. .Totem and witchcraft are prevalent in the barren land, which is a bit like the alchemy that is popular in the Qinas Empire, except that alchemy also involves magic in essence, but these methods in the barren land are more inclined to 'bloodlines' , the technique is not pure magic, so it is impossible for them to create a space like this, and naturally it is impossible to create a 'door', this special teleportation magic."

"To put it simply, it's a barbaric place. These barbarians don't know magic. Why make it so complicated." Harding curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "So, this space is a place where a powerful magician Master made it?"

"En." Cecilia nodded, but at this time her face also showed a little bit of excitement, "Maybe this is the demiplane of a certain archmage, the ancestor of the Blackwater Tribe I just accidentally discovered this space anchor point and opened it up.... I began to understand why so many countries always want to attack and occupy the wild land. For many people, this place is indeed a place full of A place of treasure."

"Yeah, it's also a place full of many dangers." Sean couldn't help thinking of Lake, "Maybe you will release a lich, or a dragon, or even a devil or a demon at any time."

Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia gently held Sean's hand, and then smiled: "Don't worry, I will not be his apprentice. No matter what, I don't want to be an apprentice." Lich's."

Sean looked at Cecilia, showed a smile, and then reached out and patted the back of Cecilia's hand that was holding him. The meaning was very clear: I believe in you.

Just as everyone continued to discuss, everyone finally arrived in front of the "door".

Unexpectedly, the "door" in front of him was not a portal formed by pure magical energy, but an afterimage of an island full of hazy mist. The place where everyone's boats are moored is the dock at the edge of the afterimage of the island.

"This is actually a gate of afterimages!" Cecilia's voice was full of surprise, "It really is a demiplane!"
