Night Crow Master

At this time, Promi said: "Master, there seems to be something on the lake!"

Its gaze was cast toward the center of the ice surface. When the owner used the props just now, there seemed to be a reflection of light, which was not seen from the owner's perspective, but Promi could observe it.

Hearing Promi's words, he also nodded, and after a glance at the snowdrifts that gathered, Yate walked around in front of it.

"Over there—" Promi raised his wings and pointed to the center of the lake.

The huge ice lake was a bit larger than the size of Susha Town. Yate crouched down and looked at it. The thickness of the ice surface was about three centimeters more, and he couldn't stand him up.

Generally speaking, the thickness of the ice surface of rivers and lakes must be more than five centimeters to be able to stand on people, while sea ice needs about seven centimeters.

After discovering that the thickness of the ice was not enough, Yate also gave up the idea of ​​going on the ice to investigate.

Then he turned his head and looked at Promi.

"...Master..." Promi noticed his gaze, and couldn't help shrinking his body. The body of the corpse crow that had become rigid due to the low temperature took a step back.

Yate didn't speak, just looked at it like this.

"...Okay, okay, I know." Promi lowered his head resignedly, "Servants have no human rights..."

You are not human.

Yate raised his brows and watched Promi flap his stiff corpse and fly towards the center of the lake.

With a snap of his fingers, a blood crow followed Promi and flew towards the center of the lake.

Although the thickness of the ice layer of Lake Susha is not enough to support people to step on it, the area covered by the ice layer is very wide, and the huge lake surface is completely covered by translucent thin ice.

When the Blood Crow and Promi flew to the center of the lake, they found that in the center of the lake... there is a small place somewhat special.

I feel that the ice here is different from other places.

The abnormal place is a circular area with a radius of about one meter.

Except for the accumulation of thin snow, the ice here is whiter than other places.

The ice surface seems to be thicker.

Just when Yate was about to order Promi and the Blood Crow to tentatively destroy the ice, one of Yate's investigative crows noticed someone approaching.

"Halloran is just..."

The phantom bird's kiss melted and condensed, completely covering Yate's body, and his figure completely disappeared in the snow.

...

An old man who appeared to be in his 50s and 60s looked around, walking on the snow to the lake.

As he walked, he stopped suddenly.

There are depressions in the snow, and this shape is...a human footprint?

"It's snowing, don't stay at home well, what are you doing here by the lake?" Old Hod muttered, and continued to walk forward with some doubts, while walking, while wrapping his fur coat.

While talking to himself, the heat was used from his mouth with the twist of his beard, condensing in the air, forming a white mist.

He has lived in the small town of Susha for more than fifty years. Compared with other people, he has a long life and is close to sixty years old.

This is the third time he has seen Rin Dong?

According to his father, when he was born, the snow brought by Winter had not melted, and the ice of Lake Susha was still freezing.

After walking for a while, he stopped because, by the lake, there was a pile of snow.

"Who has nothing to do here to shovel snow?"

Old Hod stepped forward and saw that the snow was piled up in a ball, and the surrounding snow was also empty. It should be someone shoveling the surrounding snow together.

"Whose kid came here to make a snowman?" He frowned and looked around. "You have to call him back quickly. Winter is not that fun..."

However, he did not see any children.

And the footprints in the snow don't look like the footprints of a child, they should be an adult, and it seems that there are no returning footprints?

He glanced back and found that the only footprints that came to the lake were those that did not go back.

After that, Old Hodder seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly lifted his feet trapped in the snow, and ran to the lake in a hurry:

"Isn't it running on the ice?"

His gaze scanned the ice, but to his relief, there were no footprints or cracks in the ice.

No one fell into the ice.

"It's okay..." He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as no one had an accident, he shook his head, Old Hodt smiled bitterly and touched his waist. He felt a little pain in his waist because of the action just now. .

While rubbing his old waist, he looked around, because it was at night, he was worried that he might miss it, and at the same time shouted:

"Is there anyone! Can you hear me! I'm old Hodder!"

After yelling several times, and walking around the footprints to confirm that there was no one, he really relieved himself, but he was not going to stay there anymore. Now it was night, and it was winter again, accidentally frozen If Xueli, that would be miserable.

Before heading back, Old Hod's eyes turned to the center of the lake:

"I really miss it... there used to be an island in the middle of the lake, but then it disappeared..."

When he was young, the days when he rowed a wooden boat to Huxin Island with his partners to play on Huxin Island appeared before his eyes, and then he shook his head.

Twenty years ago?

"Speaking of, twenty years ago, the little guy Sheridan was only ten years old. He dared to go to the island of the lake by himself. He was more courageous than his father. His father grew up by himself, but Since his father left, the little guy left with his mother."

He said to himself miss his former neighbor: "By the way...I heard that Sheridan returned a few years ago?"

It's a pity that I went to other places and haven't come back.

"Old, old." Old Hope sighed. The old man always likes nostalgia and talk.

And he didn't know that, just less than a meter away from him, a young man was standing there, watching his every move, watching his back muttering to himself in the snowy night.

Subsequently, Yate also left the place.

...

A few hours later.

Hut beside the forest by the lake.

This is the opposite bank of Susha town.

Yate lived here yesterday. Because of the winter, the creatures in the forest hid, and there were not many monsters nearby. When no prey was found, he was faced with increasingly cold weather. The owner of this hut, a hunter did not choose to stay here, but returned to the town of Susha.

There was only a simple spliced ​​wooden bed, a low stool, and some unused and worthless clutter. The other things should have been moved back to his home in the town by the hunter.

At this time, Yate was already lying on the bed. The blood crow and some of the newly captured crow servants were leaning against each other to keep warm. The fireplace just added with wood was burning with flames, and the flames ignited the simple stone fireplace, bringing it to the house. Got warm.

Outside the house, the mimics changed into white under Promi's control, hiding under the snow, and some turned into wooden boards, hidden beside windows and doors, for alert.

The night watchmen are demonic crows.

After eating the corpses of the enchanted creatures owned by Yate, they have become extremely strong at this time, and they all look the size of a bald eagle. The largest enchanted crow is even better than other enchanted crows. To make a big circle, the lava-like red brought by the demonization makes them look a bit like blood crows. If you don't pay attention, they will also be regarded as blood crows.

However, compared to the blood crows, their body is much larger, and their eyes flashed with extremely strong desire for destruction, but under the restraint of Yate, they did not make any attacks.

But because of this impulse, they are extremely energetic.

On the roof and in the forest, the enchanted crows stood restlessly on the branches of the tree, searching for possible living creatures nearby.

It's just that there is already a team to search for monsters, and two demonized crows are sent out to find living creatures near the forest.

Except for the two crow servants who were sent out to find the monsters, the other demonized crows had to stay quietly on guard.

And Yate started meditation in the house, it was almost dawn, and he should rest.

The current Yate has completely reversed the normal life and rest, rest and meditation during the day, and other activities at night.

Although it can be said that he is basically used to it, as a gold player, the virtual game warehouse of sleep-submersion is basically played during sleep time.

...In fact, there are still differences.

Without thinking too much, Yate started to meditate. The lv6 meditation idea, deep meditation for 5 to 6 hours a day, can increase him by 0.5 every five days, which is a spiritual level increase of 0.1 per day.

According to what His Excellency Edgeworth described, for the quantification of spirit and psionic energy, Yate compared it and transformed it into corresponding data——

The mental strength of elementary apprentices should be around 2, medium apprentices should be around 5, advanced apprentices should be around 10, and for the apocalypse, the apocalypse of one mark should be around 50, the apocalypse of two marks should be around 100, and the apocalypse of three marks is About 200, the four marks are about 500.

At the beginning, he was able to increase by 0.1 in less than five days, which is about 0.02 per day, and now it is 0.1 per day.

This speed is already slightly above the level of medium qualification.

Of course, it takes 450 days to reach the Apocalypse level, which is an estimate under ideal conditions.

Of course, this is the case without any abnormalities. Let’s not talk about the difficulty of entering a deep meditation state, but the time it takes to engrave inscriptions and construct spells. A moderately qualified apprentice wants to reach the Apocalypse at least It takes ten times longer.

It also includes various failures, and it is even more difficult to break through the Apocalypse. Just say Baixi Earl. It took him more than ten years to break through the Apocalypse process alone.

In other words, it takes 30-50 years for a blue-blooded person with a higher level of aptitude to reach the Apocalypse.

This is still in the case of removing all kinds of social interactions, all kinds of obstacles, and all kinds of life.

In other words, a person who never sleeps, devotes himself to meditation and practice, and has sufficient resources to create an apocalyptic wizard.

ps: Originally I thought that the first order could be thousands, but...emmm...I am too optimistic, only half.

The previously decided plan for the 3rd change of Qianjunyi is also a bit unmotivated...

But it’s okay, it will still be updated. If it reaches Qianjun, it will be better for two consecutive weeks. There are still many book friends supporting me. For you, I will add better these days.
