Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 488 Fire Demon
The battle ended far too quickly and suddenly; in just a few pulses, only three of the once-powerful drow were captured by the frost giant leader.

Most of the frost trolls were also killed or wounded, and the rest were held by the necks of the frost giants with cold smiles, and could draw blood with the slightest movement.

Baslock's arm had been severed, and it lay bloodied on the snow. It was also affected by the gravity aura, and every drop of blood and every piece of flesh on its body seemed to be carrying a mountain, making it difficult to move.

Only helpless roars echoed in the air.

Li Wei gave a silent, cold laugh.

……

When the three surviving drow were pulled over, the lord was sitting on an ice chair, examining the ruby ​​in his hand.

"Tell me how you got here?"

Li Wei put down the magical gem that could almost destroy the world of Tillyridge and looked at the three drow in front of him.

The three female drow fell to the ground in fear, their exquisite faces and sexy figures making them look extremely pitiful.

The Frost Barbarians surrounded this place with menacing eyes, like a series of cold icebergs. If a wandering poet happened to come here, he would inevitably be amazed and filled with endless imagination.

“We were brought here by our elder, a high priest, using ‘Dark Cave Teleportation’,” one of the unfortunate drow said without hesitation.

An older, more voluptuous drow suddenly spoke in a language she had never heard before, and was immediately rewarded with a small acid-splashing spell by Sersni, her clothes bursting open and becoming a patch of purple.

The other person screamed and hurriedly covered the only three patches of pink on their body.

"If you keep pulling these tricks, you'll be the one getting humiliated next time," the Black Dragon Queen sneered.

Drow are proficient in dark elemental magic, curse magic, and mind magic. "Dark Cave Teleportation" is a high-level teleportation spell that only legendary-rank drow can master. In reality, its principle is not much different from other teleportation spells. Basically, as long as you know the coordinates of the teleportation location, you can easily teleport.

"Where did you come from? What are you doing here? Where are your elders?" The lord said in a gentle voice, "If you tell me everything, I will let you go."

"We are the Tulip Clan from the Underdark. The elders all teleported away beforehand, leaving only us to help the Frost Trolls deal with these Frost Giants, because they have planted far too many Snow Roman Bananas here." The drow first glanced timidly at the drow sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and his hands covering his chest, then continued, finally exclaiming in astonishment, her face full of amazement and indignation: "By the Goddess Lolth! I have never seen so many Snow Roman Bananas! And so much magical metal exposed on the snow-capped mountains! My God! Leaving these things here is such a waste! These Frost Barbarians have no idea how to use these precious treasures!"

The lord's heart skipped a beat. Before he came, he had noticed those huge stems, the fruits on which were full of magic. Now it seemed that the drow were willing to stay, so they must be treasures, not to mention some magical metals.

“Continue,” Li Wei said calmly.

“One day, a human mage came to our kingdom and said he was willing to help us drow return to the surface, but the price was to help him retrieve something from a world.” The female drow, afraid that she hadn’t explained things clearly enough, started from the beginning: “We had no choice but to agree to this condition, because returning to the surface is the eternal dream of every drow, and no one can refuse it.”

"Don't you have a teleportation array? You can just teleport directly to the ground. Why do you need other people's help?" the lord interrupted, asking.

“We drow are banished to the Underdark, forever unable to sense the coordinates of the material world. We can never return to the surface on our own, but that mage has a way to establish a portal connecting to the material world.” The drow woman spoke with a hint of emotion.

Li Wei listened patiently, occasionally interrupting to ask a question or two about the details.
The female drow revealed almost everything she knew without reservation.

As the drow elves recounted how they had seduced some of the frost giants and promised to help the frost trolls replace them as the rulers of the world, on the other side of the ice wall, Basilok, forced to kneel by the weight of gravity, let out a roar of resentment: "Liars! Deceivers! You damned bitches! You..."

call out!
A massive ice spike instantly materialized, about to pierce Basilok's throat and freeze his curses and life along with it, when a dragon's breath swept through, instantly melting the ice spike into nothingness.

While Baslock was still shaken, Levi glanced at Lagras and said, "This is my prisoner. Old Lagras, you'd better not push me to the edge."

The Frost Giant leader immediately apologized, but felt a pang of regret that he hadn't been able to eliminate his old rival.

The lord then turned to the drow: "One last question, what was it that I asked you to find?"

"The magician asked us to find a fragment of a god."

"Obislach, someone beat me to it?!" The lord was stunned for a moment, then angrily cursed the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The main purpose of my personal visit here is to obtain the fragment of divinity that Lagras mentioned.

Although I didn't know if it would work for me, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I never expected it to be stolen on the way.

"Where is your teleportation array?" the lord asked hurriedly. If they caught up with it now, they might still be able to snatch it back.

The drow pointed in a direction deep within the frost giants' territory: "In a frozen cave."

“But my lord, there’s no need to go, because the high priest shut down the teleportation array the moment we were captured.” The drow elf’s words made the lord, who had just stood up, sit back down in his chair.

"Damn it!" Li Wei vowed to find out who that magician was and make him regret taking that fragment of divinity.

At the same time, he felt something was wrong. This fragment of divinity had been lying in the world of Tiridates for thousands of years without any problems. How come someone else got there first just as he found out about it? He suspected that someone was deliberately targeting him.

"My lord, have you finished questioning these three drow elves..." Ragras asked, his giant hands slightly clasped together.

The meaning is self-evident: this frost giant leader doesn't understand the concept of chivalry; he only knows that these purple-skinned elves almost caused their extinction.

The three drow elves let out desperate screams.

Li Wei's words made the Zhuo Er's eyes light up again: "I will handle them. You hurry up and get your problems resolved before I leave."

"Yes!" Lagras replied respectfully, and immediately summoned two trusted frost giant warriors to prepare.

The invading frost trolls were wiped out, and the bewitched frost trolls regained their senses. The frost giants then began to clean up the battlefield.

Lagras approached Levi, his massive frame bowing slightly: "Thank you, my lord. If it weren't for you, Tyrell might have..."

Li Wei interrupted it: "Stop talking nonsense. Send someone to check that teleportation array and see if these drow are up to any tricks." Lagras nodded and left as well.

Just then, Sersne looked at him with a complicated expression: "What you just used... was my magic?"

Li Wei turned his head and gave her a smug smile: "Yeah, I've seen you use it so many times, you've got it, how's it? Not bad, right?"

Sersni rolled her eyes: "You can use magic? Don't force me to despise you. It's obvious you used the Starry Sky Twin Shadow Barrier."

What truly shocked her was that the lord, despite being an imposter, used magic with even greater power than her. No wonder this Starry Sky Twin Shadow Barrier was hailed as the strongest barrier among the sea creatures; it was simply outrageously powerful.

And the way they evolved was so shameful.

"My projection is my talent. Using it is the same as me using it. You're just jealous." The lord became even more smug.

This kind of skill involving a minotaur is so satisfying.

From now on, if I don't like someone, I'll project them onto my screen and beat them up in front of them... No, that's not enough to vent my anger, I'll project their wife directly... Hehe...

Lord Li, a man full of cunning schemes, has once again hatched a wicked plan.

……

In the world of Tilly Trench, there is no distinction between day and night. Two moons forever hang in the sky. Due to the refraction and diffusion of moonlight, this snowfield has a desolate and beautiful scenery that is wonderfully indescribable.

The journey to the Fire Domain of Plas consisted only of Levi, Sersney, and Lagras. The lord calculated that it would take them almost two days to complete.

The closer you get to the Plas Fire Domain, the thinner the surrounding snow becomes, until it reveals the permafrost hidden beneath the snow for who knows how many years.

Even green shoots have appeared in sight. These tenacious lives can survive underground for who knows how many years. Once the external environment meets their living conditions, they will break through the soil and bloom.

A long-lost warmth also appeared in my heart.

“This is it. We’ll be there in another half a day,” Lagras said in a deep, thunderous voice.

In fact, even without it saying so, the lord already knew that the deeper they went, the higher the temperature became, and the ground gradually cracked and turned pitch black, with a hint of orange-red even visible in the deepest cracks.

The temperature here has reached an alarming level. If it were an ordinary person, they would be roasted into jerky in no time. Lagras's size is also getting smaller and smaller, and he is only sixty meters tall now.

Frost giants can reach their full strength in the snowfields, but when they come to such an extremely hot place, their strength will drop exponentially, and their lives may even be endangered.

While the Creator endowed these Frost Barbarians with top-notch ice elemental talent and physique, He also made them fear the heat.

As time passed, the view suddenly opened up before my eyes.

What comes into view is a vast lava lake, where boiling, scorching lava is still bubbling and emitting thick smoke. Looking around, there is even a majestic black mountain in the depths.

"Is this the central area of ​​the Plas Fire Domain?" Levi took a deep breath, and a strong smell of sulfur immediately swept over him.

He observed carefully and indeed found that the magma was slowly eroding the surroundings and expanding. At this rate, it would probably take several thousand years for the entire world of Tiretriev to turn into magma.

For humans with short lifespans, this is nothing but needless worry, since it won't affect them while they're alive. But for frost giants with long lifespans, this is a threat that is right before their eyes.

“My lord, the true central region is atop that volcano, where the fragment of the divine spark resides…” Steam continuously billowed from Ragras’s body, a result of the clash between its chilling aura and intense heat. Realizing that the fragment of the divine spark had been stolen by those despicable drow, it changed the subject, saying, “Over the years, it has nurtured many fire elemental beasts, including a legendary molten lava. The lava terrain is a great asset to this molten lava, and even I dare not provoke it.”

At this point, it finally couldn't hold back any longer: "As long as we use the Ring of Ice and Water to turn this area into a snowfield, the opponent's strength will be greatly reduced. In addition, since this group of drow stole the fragment of the godhood, they must have fought with it, making it easier to deal with them."

"Simply put, we need to deal with this fire demon first, and then use the Titan Diamond to restore this lava landscape to normal, right?" Li Wei said.

“That’s right, sir, but to make things easier, we could turn this area into a snowfield first, and then go after that Balrog,” Ragras said tactfully.

In its view, the Ring of Ice and Water can only be used by those of Titan blood, and no matter how the lord deals with it, it cannot bypass this legitimate descendant of the Titan.

"Here you go." The lord smiled slightly and tossed a ring out like trash.

Ragrass didn't react for a moment until the Ring of Ice and Water landed in his hand.

The Titan Diamond, which he had always dreamed of holding, had fallen into his hands so easily?
Unfortunately, the gradually reviving magic on the ring told the Frost Giant leader that none of this was a dream.

Its expression also became unpredictable.

Frankly speaking, once it got the ring, it naturally began to carry out the plan it had been thinking about day and night.

However, the scene of this human rescuing its child and helping it deal with the group of frost trolls and drow elves was still vivid in its mind, which made it hesitate.

The lord simply smiled and looked at it, saying, "We can use the Titan's Diamond now. The Balrog is a pure fire elemental demon, and using the Ring of Ice and Water here will definitely attract it."

Lagras's expression instantly became as still as a deep well.

At worst, it can wait until this human dies before implementing its plan to make the frost giants rise. After all, even if the other party is a legend, his lifespan is only a few hundred years, which is nothing to the long-lived frost giants.

Once the human hands over the key to the Tiridates portal, he will be allowed to leave.

“I know, no need to say more.” The Ring of Ice and Water seemed to be the source of all the frost giant’s confidence, and he dared to respond in such a bold tone.

His entire demeanor returned to the arrogance and disdain he had shown when we first met.
