Ride and Cut

After tossing and tossing until the middle of the night, I was tired and lay down several palm needle parries before I managed to complete the whole "White Tiger Guard".

I have to say that the craft of elves is really amazing.

During the tattooing, Li Cha felt itchy all the way on his back, and as the number of needle drops increased, the itching became more and more severe. The lord of Alpine Fort, who hadn't even blinked in the battle to the death on the battlefield, offered to stop and scratch several times. A group of soldiers laughed straight at the sight, and they gathered together to discuss in a low voice whether the boss was particularly ticklish.

In fact, it's not that Li Cha is ticklish, but that Moria poison, as bee venom, is itself irritating.

But at the moment when the last needle fell, Li Cha suddenly felt that strange itch disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed. At the same time, a warm current began to spread in the body, like blowing up a balloon, blowing up one's own strength!

According to the records of the elves, after the people of the tribe have tattooed the magic energy, they will often get a multiplied increase in power, which can be called reaching the sky in one step. But that's because they have a low foundation. Of course, it's impossible to follow the example of the Alpine Fort lord who is already amazingly powerful. That would be too domineering.

Li Cha can feel that his own strength has increased by about 20%. In the eyes of laymen, this data may not be too exaggerated. But Li Cha knew it in his heart - the difference in strength by 20% often meant that the result was one-sided in actual combat.

If it were ordinary Alpine Fort fighters, the promotion ratio should be even greater. If the magic tattoos were spread throughout the Ripper, any fool would know how terrifying the effect would be.

Unfortunately, even with the support of the soil fertilization technique, the expansion of Naxi narcissus cannot be completed overnight. Li Cha estimated that at least this time next year, the supply of magic tattoos would be available.

Bernard nodded perfunctorily with an expression of "only the dead believe in you". And Vera was more direct, rolling her eyes at him.

"Disgusting." Sister Holy Light paused slightly, "I mean the weather."

The iron ore in Gaoshanbao is underwater, and the ore can be salvaged by trawling in spring, summer and autumn. But since the beginning of winter, the tendency of the lake to freeze is unavoidable, and mining has completely stopped. The original slaves who mined the mines were all driven by Buckland to dig ditches, so that they could divert water to serve as moats in the spring of next year.

Now beside the iron mine, among the former dwarf tribes, there are only a few vassals left behind, as a symbol of the Alpine Castle ruling this place.

Although the combat effectiveness of the rabbitman and goatman is worrying, their running ability can be regarded as full marks. Coupled with the endorsement of the golden signboard of Gaoshan Fort on the back, the surrounding indigenous tribes not only dare not offend them, but rush to curry favor.

This made a group of vassals who were usually hungry and full, feel that the serfs turned into masters.

"Day." A rabbit man stepped on the thick ice on the lake, and smacked his lips regretfully, "After the thaw, there will definitely be warriors coming, who will be so rare as to flatter us by then."

In fact, even the vassals had a good time in Gaoshan Castle. They didn't think much of the little things the natives sent, and sometimes they received them in person and turned around and gave them away. However, they are usually bossed around by others, but now they finally have the opportunity to boss them around, and their psychological needs are greatly satisfied.

"Yeah, it's just a few pieces of junk like ours, and we still have bald spots." His goat-man friend understood it very clearly.

"Tell me, it would be great if it was always so cold." The rabbit man flicked his two long ears, and began to think suddenly.

He would rather suffer from the cold, and want to play with his prestige for two more days. It's fine if you haven't experienced this kind of thing, but if you experience it once, nine out of ten will become addicted.

"Why don't you eat farts? How much mine has been lost to our Alpine Fort if we haven't thawed it, and then let those short guys chase you with hammers!" The goat man rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "You rabbit people just don't think so."

"I'm just thinking about it." The rabbit man retorted with a blushing face, "And don't be racially attacking, several maids around the lord are all rabbitmen."

"We can follow up and apply to come back next year." Seeing that his friend was impatient, the goat man quickly said a few words to soften and coax him.

"Too."

For weak races like rabbit people and goat people, usually eight sticks can't beat a fart, and a few verbal stumbling is considered a serious dispute. The two friends who had just "turned their faces" didn't know what to say for a while, and each looked at their feet in silence.

"Hey, why are there so many air bubbles?" The rabbit man had good eyesight, and suddenly noticed that there were air bubbles rising up in the lake, and they didn't stop until they were blocked by ice. Looks like it's been going on for a while, with a fairly large cavity under the ice.

"Is there a big fish?" As soon as the goat man said that, he vetoed himself first, "That's not right, where did the living things come from in the stagnant and salty lake?"

"Maybe there is a crack in the ground, and the lake water has been released." The rabbit man actually didn't understand what was going on, and he just said nonsense just to embolden himself.

"Why do I feel like this ice is melting." The goat man simply knelt on the ice, staring carefully at the ice layer above the cavity with one eye, "It's melting! It's dripping water! It's melting so fast!"

"Don't scare people!" The rabbit man didn't know what to be afraid of in Hua Bing, but he was very flustered. The two long legs twitched unconsciously, ready to run at any time.

"Look, there seems to be something swimming below..."

The two of them braved together and watched for a long time lying on the ice. But the ice layer is not glass after all, and the imaging of uneven texture is not clear. After watching for a long time, the goat man was not sure whether the tail that swung just now was an illusion or a branch.

They looked at each other and thought it was just an oolong.

"Day, I'm suspicious every day, I'll be scared to death sooner or later." The rabbit man turned over and sat on the ice, his neck was covered in cold sweat when he touched it. He decided to frighten and frighten the natives the next time they came to flatter them, so as to embolden him.

"No! No!" The goat man looked behind the rabbit man, but suddenly he jumped up and screamed like crazy: "The ice is about to break! There is something! Something is coming up! Run! Run! Help! Help!"

"Crack, click" the sound of the ice cracking together easily overwhelmed the cries for help of the two unlucky ones. And the sound that followed was like two stones rubbing against each other.

Li Cha originally planned to treat Berna and Vera well, but things didn't always go as expected. Before the guests settled down, the accident happened first.

"My lord." Hurt walked up to Li Cha with a sullen face, and whispered into his ear, "There was an accident at the iron mine. A rabbit man ran back to report, but the injury was too serious, and he lost his breath before he could speak."
