Mage Joan

Clark did not become a stone statue or an ice sculpture. First of all, "petrification" or "quick freezing" can be ruled out; nor has it shrunk into a tiny particle, so thankfully, it is definitely not "imprisonment"!

Joan drew out the dagger, pressed it against Clark's skin, and stab it slightly.

The sharp tip of the knife was blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to pierce even the smallest wound on the sleeping frost giant.

Experiments have shown that Clark, in a state of "fake death", is protected by some mysterious magic power, and attacks from the outside cannot cause him damage.

Based on this conclusion, Joan tends to think that Clark is hit by "eternal stagnation."

This spell can make the subject stay in a state of time static forever, do not need to eat during the suspended animation period, will not age, stop all physiological activities, and can protect the subject from any external force damage.

Qiao An put away his dagger and cast "mythological analysis" on the sleeping Frost Giant, analyzing a set of very complex spell configurations from him. Initially, it should be a "change school" 8-level spell. It can be seen that it is indeed " Eternal stillness"!

"This fellow Trim, in order to imprison Big Brother Clark, he really paid a lot of money!"

Qiao An smoothly transcribed the parsed spell configuration, and complained while copying. "

"Eternal Stagnation" casting materials are very expensive, you need to use gems with a total value of not less than 5000 gold coins, of which diamonds are the best.

Not to mention, the magic effect of "Eternal Stagnation" really has a bit of "diamonds are forever, and a diamond is always passed on"!

By analyzing the spell configuration of "Eternal Stagnation", Qiao An also found a way to crack it.

The spells that are usually used to lift the seal, such as the 5-level "Break the Enchantment", are too low to break the "Eternal Stillness" because of the low magic power level.

The 6th-level "Advanced Dispelling Technique" and "Ruby Reversal Ray", as well as the 9th-level "Unlocking Technique", can all lift the "eternal stasis".

Don’t mention the “imprisonment technique”. Qiao An has offered a reward for purchase on the “cloud network” for a whole year, and it hasn’t been seen for a whole year. The “advanced dispel technique” can dispel the 8th-level spell in theory, but whether it succeeds is complicated. In contrast, the question of probability is that "Ruby Reversal Ray" is more reliable, provided that you are willing to burn gems...

Qiao An opened Lao Bailong Gushuang's jewelry box once again, selected a moderate ruby ​​as the casting material, chanted a spell, and burst out crimson rays from his fingertips.

The moment the "Ruby Reversal Ray" hit Clark, the Frost Giant's body trembled slightly, and life signs such as breathing and heartbeat grew from weaker to stronger. Under Qiao'an's nervous gaze, he finally woke up and slowly opened his eyes. The moment he looked at each other, he sat up suddenly, shock and confusion alternately appeared on his face.

"Brother Joan... why are you here? Is it really you, or Trim's new trick to talk to me to deceive me?"

"Brother Clark, don't doubt, it's really me."

Qiao An endured his sorrow and sent himself to Winterhold. He accidentally hit and bumped into the dungeon where he was being held, and briefly recounted how he was awakened by a spell.

"It seems that this is not a dream, brother Qiao'an, I'm so glad to see you again, this must be the goddess of Styx who is blessing us." The frost giant patted the young mage comfortably on the shoulder, "Since we were separated in Elk Town, one Three years have passed in a blink of an eye. I was held in this dungeon by the lord of Winterhold Trim. I spent most of the time in suspended animation. I wasted three years without any improvement in strength. In comparison, my brother, your progress is too great. Not only has the head grown taller, the body has become stronger, and the ability to cast spells has improved by leaps and bounds. Even the Winterhold dungeon can come and go freely. There is no place under the sky that you can't go."

Qiao An shook his head in shame: "Brother Clark, I'm sorry, it's been three years, but I still failed to do what you asked me to do."

Seeing him take off the "spirit collar", Clark would return it to himself and waved his hand to stop it.

"You have been wearing the collar for three years, so let's say you have completed the second-order coherence? Now you give me the collar, which is equivalent to changing the owner of this artifact. The coherent energy accumulated in the past three years is all invalid, and you have to start it again. Yes, brother, you are a smart person, you can't do such stupid things!"

Qiao Ann hesitated for a moment, stroking the collar and said, "Brother Clark, just last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamed of Wendigo the Snow Demon..."

Clark's face changed slightly and he asked quickly: "Did you get bitten by that monster in your dream?"

Qiao An lightly shook his head: "I was constantly equipped with a spell to protect against mental attacks. I realized the danger in my dream and immediately awoke."

"That's okay, that's okay!" Clark breathed a sigh of relief. "Snow Demon Wendig can use the'Nightmare Technique' to sneak into the dreams of prey. It stands to reason that a person is attacked in his dream, even if he is killed. It will have any impact on reality, but the most perverted thing about Snow Demon is that it can spread'winter mania' through nightmares. If you are bitten or scratched by him in a dream, this supernatural virus may be latent through the dream. In your body, you will get sick in reality after a short time. I have suffered from this trick before."

Qiao An nodded, thinking about it: "The Snow Demon's appearance in my dreamland means that it is about to start chasing after him. I am not afraid of him, but I don't want to be endlessly entangled by such an unkillable monster, Brother Clark. , When I get Haakon’s commission, we will go on the road together and send the spirit collar to the Arctic Styx Temple."

"No problem! Brother Qiao'an, I have been waiting for three years, and I don’t care about the past few days. You should take care of your own affairs first. If there is anything I can help, don’t talk to my brother. You are polite." The Frost Giant smiled boldly.

Qiao An took out the rhino leather armor, power belt, electric shock ring, and Frost Star ring recovered from the dragon's nest, and returned it to Clark.

"The enchantment level of leather armor and belt is too low, you can make do with it first, and wait for me to make time to make you a better set of equipment."

Clark re-dressed and said with joy, "Thanks to the blessing of Lord Hull on my body, otherwise, after being caught by Trim, I will lose not only these equipment, but also the secrets in my stomach. Polished."

"The goddess of Styx gave you a grace?" Qiao An asked in surprise.

Clark nodded solemnly: "Almost three years ago, after we broke up in Elk Town, Trim and his son led the White Dragon Guard to chase and intercept me."

"I went north and fled for more than a month. I was surrounded by them near the'Iron Forest.'
