Simulate the heavens from Faerûn

Chapter 185 Return to the Star Tower [Please subscribe]

Seeing the demon wolf's blood splattering on the snowfield, lying motionless on the snow, losing all vitality, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and they all collapsed on the snow exhausted.

Dealing with this group of wilderness demon wolves is too exhausting. Not only do you have to keep an eye on the demon wolves to guard against their attacks, but you also have to worry about whether the ice wall will collapse. When fighting, you have to walk on the line of life and death, because once Being bitten by a demonic wolf will basically kill you, and the frost breath will hurt you if you are rubbed, and you will die if you touch it. All of this makes people highly concentrated and the whole body tense.

Now, the enemies were all wiped out at once, and the breath in everyone's hearts dissipated at once. Physical sensations such as fatigue and pain suddenly hit their hearts, breaking through people's defenses.

Sighs and cries of pain continued to echo in the ice castle. If you didn't know better, you would think that this was a camp for wounded soldiers who had lost the battle...

At the same time, in the endless desolate snowfield, the cold wind and flying snow were still raging, sending the thick smell of blood into the distance, and also covering up all traces of life.

On the snow near the ice castle, at an unremarkable snowdrift, the light flickered and twisted. A tent appeared on the spot, and a standard adventure team filed out of it.

The middle-aged mage, the leader of the adventure team, nodded towards the rogues in the team. The rogues instantly disappeared into the snow. The middle-aged mage put away the tent with a wave of his hand, raised his hands to the sky, and murmured in a low voice. .

After a while, a white figure streaked across the sky above the ice castle and slowly landed on the middle-aged mage's hand. Only then did he see that it was a big white eye, with huge pupils looking around indifferently.

The middle-aged mage carefully put his eyes into the space ring, waved his staff lightly, and in the blink of an eye, a gray-white high north horse appeared in front of the mage. He quickly got on the horse and led the team towards the ice castle.

In the ice castle, Rey was directing two mages to repair the damaged ice wall, and asked Voles to lead the rogues to guard the ice wall, while encouraging his teammates to cheer them up.

Rey, who was standing in the center of the ice castle drawing pie for his teammates, keenly felt someone coming here. He already understood in his heart that the trial was over and there would be no more monsters. He smiled on his face. Laugh and continue to help your teammates.

After all, these tool men are rare publicity tools. After returning to Aylward this time, Rey's name will be somewhat famous in the city, which should bring a lot of simulation points, maybe not many. But Rey doesn't dislike this bit of mosquito legs. Who said he doesn't have a single simulation point now!If I don't earn a good reputation this time, I don't know if it will be like a monkey or a horse next time.

Because Rey feels that such an outstanding genius must receive long-term magic education in the Star Tower after returning to the Star Tower, and it should not be until Rey's strength reaches the third level or higher and has the power to protect himself. Only then would Ta allow him to go out and take risks.

This is the pain of genius. After gaining a lot, you are destined to lose a lot...

Rey has prepared for a wonderful life of five years of study at the Tower of Stars and three years of practical research. It is really imaginative... hibernating in the burrow, waiting for the right time to become a blockbuster and amaze everyone.Thinking about this, Rey felt the boundless excitement and deep boredom...

But a seed always has to go through a dark period before it sprouts, and Rey feels he can afford to wait.

"Brothers! The glory belongs to us, we..."

"Ahem... Attention, everyone! This trial is over! Everyone, take a rest. When Master Emre comes over later, we will return to the camp immediately! Remember to bring the target you protect, otherwise the results will be cancelled..."

Just when Rey was loudly instilling glory into his teammates and establishing a heroic and glorious persona, a man in a white cloak suddenly flashed on the ice wall and shouted to everyone in the ice castle. After speaking, this man is a The jump disappeared into the flying snow.

"Ah... the trial is over~~ We... did we pass it successfully?"

"That's right! It must have passed...otherwise..."

"That's right, that's right..."

"Thank you, Master Rey! Thank you, Master Rey~!"

"Thank you, Master Rey! Thank you, Master Rey~!" XN
The surprise came so suddenly, and everyone was talking about it. In the end, no one knew who shouted, "Thanks to Master Rey! Thank you to Master Rey~!" As a result, the messy ice castle was filled with cheers like this. It made Rey a little "shy" and his face turned red.

Rey scratched his head with some "embarrassment", then pressed down his hands towards everyone, and said: "Since we are leaving, we have to pack up the loot first. Don't wait until it is too late. Let's do it together now. Peel off the wolf skins of these demonic wolves.”

"Handle it carefully and don't scratch it. The more complete the wolf skin is, the higher the price will be. In winter, wolf skin is long, thick, flexible, shiny, and very beautiful. When the time comes, we will bring Aylward to sell it, and it will definitely sell. It’s a good price, and the harvest will definitely be big... It’s better to let the rogues come over to handle it, their sword skills are better..."

A soldier nodded and replied to Rey: "I'll call them over."

After a while, Walles and two other wanderers came over. At this time, everyone moved all the wolf carcasses outside the ice castle. Rey did not help this time. He just sat on the ice wall and watched. Pointing at the corpse of a demon wolf, he said:
"The most difficult part to skin is the fur on the head and four paws. The fur there is tight and has many bones, and it is also the thinnest part of their body."

"Also, peel them quickly. Their corpses are still warm so it's easier to peel them off. Otherwise, it won't be easy to peel them when their corpses are cold..."

"Also, have you seen their canines?"

"You can use it to make pendants, or even enchant it to make jewelry. It's something that's easy to get rid of."

"Anyone can do this, but be careful not to break it..."

"There are also wolf hearts and wolf blood. They are rare items that contain magic power..."

"The meat of these demon wolves is useless."

Everyone quickly gathered around.

Rey directed his teammates to come over, peel off valuable things from the wolf corpse, and carry it on his back.

Except for a small team of people who were responsible for carrying the frozen bison, everyone else was busy.

After the tense battle, there was a rare smile on the faces of the teammates, because according to Rey, these 40-odd wolves gained nearly 1600 gold coins after getting rid of them.It was almost equivalent to their previous annual salary. Even after deducting the large portion given to the mage, each of them could get about twenty gold coins.

Rey had already discussed it with them before starting to dispose of the body.

Of the proceeds obtained, Rey only takes half of it, the rogue takes one and a half percent, the two mages take the remaining [-]%, and finally the others share the remaining [-]%.

This is a very beneficial distribution principle for most people.

Although Rey played a decisive role in this battle and contributed the most, how could Rey be such a person who is greedy for small profits, not to mention that his family background is not short of money, so Rey is just too kind to refuse, They took a little bit symbolically and gave up their own interests, giving them a better position to promote themselves.

After a while, Master Emre rode his horse to the outside of the ice castle, beckoning Rey and the others to follow him back to the camp.

Since the magic power was not consumed much in this battle, Rey and the other two mages cast "summon mounts", and under the envious eyes of others, they got on their horses and followed behind mage Emre.

In this way, four mages rode horses and led the trial team to walk on the white snowfield carrying the bloody buffalo carcass.After walking for a while, Master Emre looked back at the ice castle full of blood and wolf corpses. He sat on the horse and looked around. Then he pointed his staff towards the sky, and the gems on the staff were shining. There was a faint glow, and then a light appeared in the sky at the top of the large crowd.

Brightness!
"It seems that Master Emre's mage level is not low. He actually illuminated a nearby area of ​​nearly [-] meters. I think the sneaky monsters nearby should have retreated..."

Rey thought to himself that it was not unexpected that this trial ended so quickly, because the smell of blood on the snowfield was more tempting than the smell of blood in the sea. There may only be people with sensitive smells like sharks in the sea. It can be sensed, but in this snow the principle is more deadly.

Under the howling wind, the smell of blood continued to spread in the wasteland, attracting all kinds of hungry monsters with green eyes. Now that Rey and the others were slaughtering, the smell of blood was even stronger. If they didn't run away, they would stay in the ice castle. Then it’s not a trial, but giving small desserts to various monsters. Even Master Emre can’t resist it...

Now it is the right way to run away before the monsters gather, but it seems that there are already sharp people nearby...

"Ow!"

The loud howl of the wolf echoed in the wilderness, and a silver-gray wolf king the size of a calf was revealed on the hillside in the distance.

It was an ice wolf in the wild.

It took a deep look at the team in the distance, its pupils locked on the dazzling staff, as if it felt the gaze of Master Emre, its strong body trembled, and then let out a low howl. .

Waves of wolf howls were heard, and the nearby wolves hidden in the snowfield came out one after another. Their green pupils disappeared, and they followed the wolf king away in other directions.Zuo Bing has pretty good intelligence, even smarter than a war horse. There are many prey in the wilderness, so there is no need to provoke this small team.

Not to mention that there is a terrifying mage among them!

The fear of magicians has penetrated into their bloodline for thousands of years. Countless painful lessons have taught these monsters that they should never easily provoke those beings who can cast spells.

Just don't provoke them.

These monsters will not easily attack enemies who can cast spells!

……

At noon, both trial teams returned to the camp. Although they looked a little embarrassed and some were even injured, everyone was very happy and it seemed like they had gained a lot.

The excitement in the camp peaked when Riley announced the news to the crowd.

"Today, both trial teams successfully passed the trial. You are all well done... After lunch, we will set off back to Aylward... Today's lunch will be the beef you brought back. Enjoy it. …”

"Ugh..."

After a burst of cheers, Rey followed Riley into a tent.In the spacious and clean tent, pieces of gold were shining, and the tempting beef was dripping with tempting gravy on the campfire. Eric was sitting in front of a mirror and watching something.

Seeing Rey coming in, Eric waved to Rey and said: "Rey, come here..."

Riley walked to the fire and roasted the beef skillfully. While flipping the beef and brushing the sauce, he asked Eric: "Eric, what's wrong?"

"Riley, it's nothing. It's just that I discovered that Rey has a very good magic talent. The magic he used in the trial should have been developed by himself. It's incredible..."

With that said, Eric came to Riley with a mirror and played the scene of Rey killing the demon wolf.

"Eh... that's great! My son Rey is expected to be a legend!! Hahaha..."

Riley looked at the picture and smiled happily while flipping the barbecue.

Eric rubbed Rey's little head, whose eyes were glowing while looking at the barbecue, and asked, "Rey, how did you do it?"

"Ah...well...I just discovered that lightning seems to have a special power on silver alloy, so I made some thin needles out of silver alloy...Then, lightning fired these needles...I didn't expect it either It’s so powerful...hehehe"

Rey said, scratching his head in embarrassment and staring at the meat skewers.

"Oh... Really? Rey, you should concentrate on magic in the future... If your magic is applied to alchemy and made into alchemy items, it will be a good development..."

Hearing that this magic requires external objects to have great power, Eric's emphasis on this magic dropped a bit, and he advised Rey to focus on magic.

When Rey heard this, he just smiled and said secretly in his heart: "This is electromagnetic force, one of the four basic forces. Even in Faerun, it is not just a winding path..."

"Come on, Rey, try it. This is dad's roasted beef. It's delicious. I remember back then, I learned this skill from a halfling friend... Eric, you come too, eat it." Eat... Rey is still young and doesn't know much about magic. Don't be too strict..."

……

After the meal, everyone got ready and started on their way home with joy.

It's just that night comes so early in the winter in the North. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky has completely darkened. The team marched slowly in the snowy night, and the night became deeper and deeper.

Six or seven hours of continuous long journey has made many people feel very tired. Even professionals whose physical fitness is far better than ordinary people have a look of exhaustion on their expressions.

Walking in the snowy fields in the wilderness, detecting combat warnings along the way is actually very mentally consuming.

Especially under normal circumstances, they would need to travel nine hours to return to Aylward. However, due to the dragon's attack, most of the horses were crushed to death by the dragon's power. Now basically everyone is on foot. However, they had to march quickly under orders.Everyone was very tired, but thinking that they would soon return to their warm hometown, no one complained, but rushed forward with all their strength.

Fortunately, the road ahead is getting better and better. The closer we get to Aylward, the better the road conditions are, and the safety is constantly improving. The speed of everyone's journey has not slowed down due to fatigue, but has continued to speed up.

Finally, around seven o'clock in the evening, everyone finally rushed back to Aylward, and Rey followed Master Eric back to the Star Tower, bringing a successful conclusion to this trial.
