Winter in the capital
I made a map anyway, so I can get back to the city in no time.
It takes some time for these ice monsters to just build up on the walls, but it doesn't matter if they attack from behind anyway. He'll be in good health in about two days.
I can go back through it all.
"But... I'm still guessing, but I don't think killing those ice monsters will do you any good."
"You don't think it'll do you any good?"
Risha said that.
"I don't think it's obvious, so I need to find out a little bit more. But in her mind, those monsters seem to be regenerating with the power of this ice maze. It's probably useless if we don't destroy the underlying cause."
Oh, yeah.
I think it's definitely because it's Risha's guess.
"Sister Risha is right. Magical reactions that feel strange... They come or don't come. There's no big change. Maybe if you die, you'll be absorbed by this maze again. That's why you don't leave loot like an integer."
Winia's words added credibility. It's almost out of my mind, but I think it might.
"Does that absorbed essence turn back into ice soldiers?"
"Yeah, that's it."
Winia answers Claudie's confirmation, and Risha nods.
I was thinking the same thing... Let's think about it for a second.
"..."
Killing one of them in the ice maze doesn't mean much... but it's too much of a scam, does it? If that were possible, we would be able to create a kingdom of permanent ice spirits on this land.
It would be impossible to break through the infinite forces. It is a disaster that such troops become unrestricted Regen.
If anything else was possible, the human world should have been destroyed a few times and be normal. So I don't think it's absurd, but there must be some constraints. I'm sure Risha knows.
There can be no infinite power.
"That's unusual. But it's not unlimited. In any case, destroying it will consume you. Umm..."
Claudie seemed to think about it for a moment and said,
"Once upon a time, I've experienced something like this."
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Sister?"
Old school?
Is it a story when you're in the desert?
At the end of the day, all eyes were on Claudie. Half-elf who bought over a hundred years! There's something I know! We listened to Claudie's story.
"It was a long time ago, when I was in the Shurdik High Desert. It happened when I went to search the ancient king's crypt, and the crypt suddenly started to work because it touched the head of my head."
It was a little hard to understand that the grave was running. But I couldn't stop talking, so I made sure I understood.
"As soon as it started, there was a tremendous vibration, and soon there were warriors of sand, who, no matter how they were defeated, were constantly regenerating and almost became miserable."
A warrior of sand who can fall and rise again? It can also happen in the Great Desert. And it would be similar to the situation now.
"Because of that situation, I ended up being barricaded. So I fled into a deeper place, where I could finally find a golden crown containing the ancient king's mummy."
Claudie was almost in danger, so her fists started to tremble less... Anyway, was the golden crown a problem?
"Did you destroy that golden coffin?"
"Uh-huh. No. That's not it."
On my question she shakes her head.
- Cough.
Winia once stabbed me in the thigh as if she told me not to stop talking. I seem to have been quite focused on the story.
"The problem was that the king's mummy was wearing a strange gold mask. The Warlock we came with said it was the cause. I destroyed it right away. Then the sand warriors who were chasing me went back to the sand."
"Ohh."
The golden mask was a source of power. Unless it eventually destroyed that golden mask, the warriors of the sand would have been regenerated several times.
Maybe this ice maze is similar.
"And the moment I destroyed the golden mask."
Claudie's story wasn't over.
"I found out when Warlock yelled at me with a glow. That the mask was the mediator that was drawing the power of the other world."
"What, what? Another world?"
"Yes. Probably a distant ancient relic. The Warlock who told me about it was completely insane. Maybe she couldn't handle seeing another world in her mind."
"..."
Claudie pauses, and the silence falls.
I can't believe Warrack is completely insane. What the hell is this about?
I felt like I heard a scary tale.
"Katt. Mama thought it was okay because she didn't have a Warrack like that."
"..."
Suddenly, my heart grew dull.
"Huh? No, Cat. Why are you freezing? Huhu, it's okay. It's an old thing."
When I was stiff, Claudie laughed as if she was trying to release me.
"No... why are you crazy? Which world did you see?"
"I don't know?"
Claudie shrugged and then said,
"Anyway, is this ice maze still being used to draw the power of the other world? Miss Risha? You told me about the spiritual system before you came, right?"
"... he said."
"Just as the boundaries of the Pandemonium have been weakened recently, perhaps the boundaries of the spiritual world have been weakened? So a superior spirit using your power can do this."
When I heard it, I started to think Claudie was right. The story of the crazy Warlock can be mistaken for infinite if the forces of this ice maze are maintained by the use of the power of another world, until they have used up all the power of that world.
"Hmm... credible."
"Oh... the story of the Great Desert is also interesting. I was purely interested. The tomb of the ancient king..."
Karin and Liz's sister nod.
"The Great Desert seems inhuman too...!"
"Spiritual... Spiritual...?"
Hilde tries to rip her head off, and Ari raises her head.
"Ari? What do you care?"
"Uh-huh... nothing. I was trying to think of something for a second, but I don't know."
"Yeah? If it seems important, let me know when you think about it."
"Yes."
Do many people react by saying that they are spirits because they are Allanese? Anyway, Claudie was talking.
"Of course I don't know the details. I just heard it from Warlock at the time, and it's a speculation based on experience. Don't you think Miss Risha knows better about this?"
"..."
Lisa closes her eyes for a moment and touches her lips.
"... there is no specific data available on the spiritual system, but there may be enough possibilities. Spiritual, Spiritual... If it turns out to be true, I think I can be the first official discoverer."
A voice that seems to think deeply.
Risha is not convinced either.
"But I can't say that she doesn't know much about the spiritual system. However, if you reveal this specifically..."
Risha blurs her words.
You don't have to tell me.
I don't know what the spiritual system is, but it would be useful if we could find the source of this magical phenomenon. Of course, a wizard will pull Gummy, and Risha has the ability to do what Gummy pulls.
Maybe we can take advantage of this.
"I'm thinking about it a little bit. Isn't she a witch? This is what makes her very interested."
"As you can see, our Risha Witch."
Risha smiled lightly.
"Well, it's a chance to find the treasure."
Karin said it was an opportunity.
"These things have to be touched faster than anyone else. Wouldn't it hurt a lot to take a player from the Knights? You could say it's a little dangerous, but it's the spirit system? I understand that the essence of Arquina, which is using the power of the spirit system, seems to be too expensive."
"Yes, as Karin said. If there's something like that, it's beyond rare... you can't really value it."
Winia noticed what she was expecting.
"Most of all, this inhumane thing is happening, and you can't just leave it there! Even though it doesn't seem like the Devil is involved, the spirit is similar to the Devil! It's a spirit because it feels good. Actually, it doesn't matter if you call it a demon. Anyway, the spirits must be beaten!"
"I'm fine, too. It's not that hard."
After what Hilde and Ari said, we got up again.
"Let's just go around for a day and retreat. I'm gonna do it all tomorrow, or I'm gonna have to look a little longer."
Then let's stay the night and make a move. There's no problem with the lights anyway. You can go all the way to the city and then go back to the city once.
*
After all, I did more exploration for a day, but nothing was saved.
I just smashed the ice monsters to shit, and I just detailed the map. There was no problem retreating as expected, so I quickly returned to the city and rested.
Once I took a break, I went around and did some digging. A regiment of Knights of the Kingdom, led by the Night General, has already arrived and is marching towards the Ice Palace.
One Royal Knights Regiment is made up of three generations.
Once attacked, it is said to be stationed in the city with two battalions and one battalion as reserve. Of course, there is a Master Knight who has made his way to the front of the Knights.
According to Karin, the division commander brought a regimental commander directly under him. Anyway, the story was distorted within the city.
And one thing I found out is that there are rare caves inside the maze, like the one where we found the tombstone, waiting for it to occupy, and then when we encounter the Knights in the camp, we give them a prize.
I think I'm going to use the money to target this ice maze a little faster. And this means that the ice maze is entangled like an ant's den.
That's all I could tell.
That's the situation. What can I do?
Once I bought more supplies, I left again the next day.
Of course, the ice monsters and the Nias were regenerated, but there was a map, so they marched on without a hitch. I guess I just got back to where I decided to retreat.
"Is that more?"
This time, ice monsters have begun to appear that I've never seen before.
- Yikes, yikes.
It was the same movement as a trained army. No, that's not all. I was familiar with their shape.
"... the Knights of the Kingdom? Sister."
I looked at Karin right next to me and asked.
"Isn't that a bit like the Knights Armor?"
"Uh... I think so."
The warriors of the ice appeared this time to resemble the Knights of the Kingdom. The appearance is quite similar. The form of the armor is, of course, as if it were imitating a sword... I was taking that look.
I seemed to see some sophisticated ice sculptures. It's similar enough to want to put one in the backyard.
"Did you imitate those knights?"
"Maybe!!! It could be that the ice monsters ate the knights and snatched them away!!!"
Hilde shook her head, but she seems more likely to have imitated as Winia said before. Did you think it would be better if you saw the tactical side of your opponent creating the King's troops?
Then it'll be more demanding.
- Pa!
It was that moment. The ice knights who were on their way to Ohwa Heat suddenly burst into flames, and they started sprinting toward us as if they were trying to open up the academic camp.
"Are you impersonating even tactics!!!"
"It seems that Arquina's head is quite emergent."
- Patricia!!
The Rishadesbeam shoots, and the frontal ice knight shatters. However, the damage ceased as one of the cubs because it was scattered.
We've always been on the line, Claudie. Karin stands in the line, making a move to place Risha, Winia, Hilde, Ari and Liz Nuna in the rear row.
This is the most efficient.
You can protect the wizards by focusing your firepower from the rear and having a sister Liz. I always do this when I'm just fighting. Anyway, we were on the line, each of us rushing towards the ice knights.
- Quang!!
Brawl.
"Ouch!"
- Pretentious!!
The skill of the Ice Knight who put an ice knife on me now was not so bad. It's exactly the level of a cocksucker article. Maybe even better. These guys have no appetite, and they're stronger because they're ice.
- Quaang!!!
So as soon as I hit the sword, I kicked his chest and blew it away with my foot, and then I punched the tip of the blade that had cast the thrust into my side to make the ice knife powder.
No matter how much you imitate the Knights of the Kingdom, that's enough.
"Come."
But do we really have to destroy hundreds of these ice knights to get to the palace? If we get there, are there any more tough guys?
I think this is a little tight.
