People are in the moon, The Sims

Centered around Gray's feet, cracks appeared on the entire lake. Only then did the Knight Commander's affected brain react and stretched out his hand to stop Gray, but it was too late. The ice on the lake surface exploded upwards, and the water under the ice exploded. Under the operation of Gray's magic, it exploded outwards, preventing everyone from approaching the lake.

Gray himself let himself fall into the lake.

Chapter 15: Double Swords of Ice

Gududu——

As the body sank, the surrounding bubbles began to slowly float out, and finally flew directly above the lake. Looking from the bottom up, the blooming red ice looked like a huge lotus, except that this The lotus seems to be too aggressive.

Turning around and looking at the lake, compared to the frozen lake surface, the bottom of the entire lake seemed to have become a paradise of ice. Various aquatic plants composed of ice bloomed under the lake. It was obvious that in this extreme Under low temperatures, absolutely no plants or life would grow here.

However, such a false scene of vigorous life is preserved forever under the water, in the silence of all things, and in the solidified white frost and ice.

Ha, it’s obviously the winter that comes with death, but do you try to leave the brilliance of life behind? Or is it yearning for the hustle and bustle of life?

Gray raised his lips for a moment. The existence that fell into the lake was really as contradictory as himself. It should be an existence that deprived life, but it yearned for the splendor of life. It was really a perfect match for him!

Because of his own magic properties, covering himself with magic power, the cold lake water will not have any impact on him. On the contrary, Gray will feel comfortable. The cold breath will continue to ease his excitement and keep walking on the edge of the cliff. of reason.

Maybe after I get the treasure under the lake, I can take off my shackles without any scruples in the future battles and exert my full strength without worrying about going crazy mentally.

The lower the body goes down, the lower the temperature becomes. The strange thing is that even though the temperature is enough to reach the critical point of freezing, the entire lower layer of the lake can still flow slowly under its own diving action, bringing up layer after layer of water. Waves, wrong...

Different from the moment when he fell into the lake, the bottom of the lake was not frozen so much as everything was stagnant at this moment. He squinted his eyes and looked towards the periphery of the lake. After the light reflected by the ice began to gradually weaken, his eyes adapted to the environment and could finally see everything around him.

Unlike myself who is still moving around freely, you can still see several lifelike "ice sculptures" on the periphery of the lake, either innocent people who have lost their footing and fallen into the lake, or adventurers who want to come to the bottom of the lake to explore the secrets. , or a knight who dreamed that he could get a holy sword.

After all, in this era, it is an extremely normal event for a knight to accidentally obtain his own holy sword, such as under the mud in the deep forest, wrapped around vines, or there is a lake spirit in the lake. , keeping it silently, or drifting with the water waiting for his owner.

Gray understood at this moment that he was able to move freely in the lake where everything had stopped without being frozen because of his specialness.

And in the center of the lake bottom, on a lotus-shaped, but slightly rough, ice platform, like a grass embryo of a work of art, two sword-shaped green ice objects, one long and one short, were gradually inserted into it. superior.

Even if the sword is roughly carved out of stone or hard ice, it has its own shape but is not refined enough, but its sharp edge, like a sword blade, is enough to prove that it has powerful lethality.

There was a smile on Gray's face, and his green eyes also contained the light of joy. It didn't matter if they were not refined enough. It was up to him to carve them slowly. Since he was the destined master of these swords, he could naturally carve them. His posture, maybe a miracle will happen when he holds these two sword embryos with his hands?

Gray stretched out his hands and gently grasped the hilts of the two swords. There was a slight pain in his palms. It seemed that some sharp edges on the hilts had pierced his palms, and a bright red color was touched. Colors like blue ice and white night were absorbed into it, and subtle cracks appeared on the two sword embryos.

On the lake, the knight commander wearing heavy black armor stared at the entire lake carefully with his only black eyes, and then stretched out his hand to touch the frozen lake again, violently breaking the ice with magic power. Layer, the cold that seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow, invaded the armor along with the lake water.

The black armor was instantly covered with a layer of white frost, and he felt that his fingertips began to become numb due to the loss of temperature. The black magic power exploded instantly, and he used an extremely violent method to directly remove the ice magic power that had eroded him.

The knight commander in black armor looked at the center of the lake, where Gray let himself fall into the lake. There was a bit of confusion on the knight commander's solemn face. Of course, in addition to this confusion, there was also After a few moments of relaxation and falling into such ice, that somewhat annoying young warrior should have turned into an ice sculpture, right?

Then the next step is to deal with the young man and the girl who are fighting side by side not far away. The knight captain raised the epee in his hand. The black magic power continued to spread on the epee, and the dark blade was also because of this With the continuously strengthening magic power, the shadow of the dragon emerged.

"So......"

Before the knight commander who had just turned around finished speaking, the frozen lake behind him cracked again, and chains of ice spread out from the ice layer one after another from the water, and then wrapped around the knight commander. Go, while the Knight Commander remained unchanged in response to the changes, with black magic covering his body and waving the blade in his hand.

It's just that these attacks don't seem to be able to do anything to the knight who is in the mad stage.

The frozen lake slowly parted, and the ice stairs spread from the bottom of the ice lake to the shore. Gray was stepping on the ice stairs, returning to the battlefield step by step, holding a long and short ice sword in his hand. A round of sword flowers passed through, and wherever the ice blade passed, pieces of snowflakes condensed in the air.

"Where are you going? Our third round has just begun."

Only then did Gray hold the two swords in his hands firmly. The gloomy weather in the sky slowly dispersed, and the sunlight scattered and shone on the two swords in Gray's hands. The ice-green swords were the same, but the difference was in the long swords. A snowdrop bloomed on the hilt of the sword, and the absorbed blood dyed the entire flower red, becoming the only red dotted on the snowfield.

The hilt of the dagger is a running wolf, and the red blood becomes the eyes of the running wolf.

[Get dual swords:]

[Snap Eternal Flower·Long Sword (A+), the magic power will form blooming ice flowers, and the ice flowers will gradually absorb the atmosphere and the enemy's magic power and feed it back to the sword owner. ]

[Winter Running Wolf's Qi·Dagger (A+). If you want to protect beauty, you must have force. One person can form an army. The person holding this sword can summon a pack of wolves in the freezing winter to help. ]

Chapter 16: The rut of history has determined the direction

"It's about to happen!"

The ice sword in his hand was inserted into the ground, and the ground, which was already covered by ice and hoarfrost, once again bloomed one after another, lotus flowers made of ice.

While constantly exuding cold air, he also began to silently absorb the magic power in the atmosphere. This time, Gray could clearly feel that after releasing the power to change the terrain, the speed and amount of magic power recovery increased. So it's easier than ever.

Gray pulled out the long sword in his hand from the ground, and then his whole body moved forward quickly under the influence of the burst of magic power.

Gray's green eyes were a bit fiery, but the coldness brought by the two swords kept his heart at the edge of calmness. This subtle feeling can only be described with the word "refreshing".

The long sword and the heavy sword collided with each other, causing a small explosion of magic power. The surrounding ice shards once again splashed into the air. This time, the weapon in Gray's hand had the upper hand, and an obvious gap appeared in the knight commander's heavy sword. On top of it, ice marks like snowflakes also spread on the epee.

The knight commander turned around and slapped the heavy sword in his hand on the ground, preparing to slash it after dragging it for half a circle.

However, Gray would not give another chance. Magic power was injected into the dagger in his hand, and a wolf howl from the distant winter echoed in the valley.

The ice slag floating in the air quickly condensed and became harder at the same time. The white wolf of green ice seemed to tear through the void with its claws and teeth and appeared out of thin air. The ice wolf fangs directly bit into the knight commander's armor. instantly turned into shackles of ice, restricting the knight's movement.

The knight commander's eyes widened slightly, with a bit of disbelief in his dark eyes, and Gray's two ice swords were already attacking him.

Gray's words were as cold and fleeting as the cold wind, "I'm sorry, I'm not a gentleman. If you have any hatred, just feel free to hate me. I'll take it all -"

The long sword penetrated the armor on the chest. Even though the dark armor had the increase of fairy characters on it to make it hard, when it came into contact with the ice sword, the blessings on the armor seemed to be melted by the ice. Frozen, the heavy armor became brittle, and the ice sword penetrated the knight commander's body.

Then the dagger like a wolf fang slashed across the knight commander's throat. Two cold breaths spread from the wound, and an ice sculpture appeared on top of the blooming ice garden.

Turning around and looking towards the entrance of the valley, I saw that many soldiers in black armor fell at the feet of the blond girl and young man. Only the last few people were left, still insisting on the order of the humble king. Such loyalty is really impressive. People are puzzled and surprised.

Gray raised the two swords in his hands. The magic power spread on the two swords and continued to condense. It was like a strong wind that might blow at any time, or a cannonball that might explode at any time. This was a slightly subtle yet rough comparison of the magic power. How to use it.

Compress the magic and then...

release!

"Eternal silence in the cold wind! Winter - please take away their lives gently!"

The magic power that had been compressed exploded at this moment, like a compressed blizzard. The cyan wind swept away the frost and death and began to devour everything in front. The few knights who were still holding on turned around after hearing the sound. His armor was instantly frozen, and was easily destroyed by the frost and biting cold wind.

A body that was also frozen like an ice sculpture was revealed.

Although these soldiers were quickly swallowed up by the frost and turned into part of the ice and snow in the wind, Gray still saw the two soldiers, whose features were obviously Saxon, and their dull faces without any change in expression.

has a problem!

These three words immediately jumped out of Gray's mind. Let's not mention why the Saxons appeared in the camp of the King of the North. The simple expressionless appearance of welcoming the cold winter was enough to show that there must be something fishy.

It seemed that after finishing his studies and traveling with Bahrain, it was time for him to return to the Saxon territory and fulfill his promise to become the Wolf King.

Gray looked at the two ice swords in his hands, threw the two ordinary swords on his waist into the lake, put the two ice swords into the scabbard, and looked at Artoria and Kai with his green eyes. .

"As you can see, I have taken away the reason for the cold winter in this area, and your mission has been completed... I hope that the next time we meet will not be on the battlefield, otherwise -"

Gray controlled his magic power, rolled up the ice on the ground, and set off a small blizzard. His figure and unfinished words were drowned by the blizzard.

Arturia watched Gray leave, then raised her feet to the ice sculpture of the knight commander, and gently touched the black armor with her hand. Soon, she noticed the fairy characters engraved on the armor.

The armor was in the style of her uncle, King Hun, and the string of goblin words probably didn't come from her uncle. Today's Great Britain is really suffering from internal and external troubles and is riddled with holes. The girl understands that her journey seems to have come to an end. .

It was also at this moment that pink petals floated over, and the mage holding a staff appeared next to them on the flowers. Unnoticed by the girl and the young man, there were a few burns on the mage's skin. It looked like It was a fight with someone, but none of this was shown.

Artoria's eyes became firm as she looked at the golden sword in her hand. She put the golden sword back into its scabbard and the girl tied up her ponytail. "Merlin, cast suggestion magic on me. I've already done it." Prepare to ascend the throne!”

Merlin looked at the determined girl in front of him and sighed. Although he wanted to smile, he couldn't smile for a while thinking about the future of the girl in front of him in his prophecy.

"Artoria, there is really no way to turn back this time. When you sit in that position, you will face all kinds of enemies, such as the dragon sitting on the throne of the north, and the The boy who disappears in the snow, or someone else you don't expect, may experience betrayal, be misunderstood by the people, and have a miserable ending.

Even so, are you ready? "

Girl... No, King Arthur raised his head and looked directly at his teacher, "I have already prepared."

Merlin squeezed the staff in his hand and raised his hand. The lady's armor on Arturia began to change. A blue skirt was put on the king's hair, and the magic of distorting gender perception was also covered. A king.

At this moment, the wheel of history is about to drive non-stop towards the future that has already been engraved in the books. There may be deviations, but after all... the ending has been decided.

Chapter 17: The road to the end of the world is long, and we will never see each other again.

On the way back to the forest, Gray looked at the wine bag in his hand, thought for a moment, and used his magic power to cover it with a layer of ice. The wine in this era was not as pure as in later generations, at least when Gray drank it It's almost the same as rice milk or slightly drunk juice, and it has a different taste.

Therefore, using his own magic to chill can actually increase the taste of these drinks. Ever since he was tricked by the guy in Bahrain into drinking the wine of this era, Gray has regarded this drink as an ordinary drink, but Gray prefers to drink it according to his own memory. Use that knowledge to brew some fruit tea yourself.

It's just that in this era of increasingly scarce resources, without adjustments from the end of the Age of Gods, it's not easy to find enough raw materials.

Returning to the camp in the forest, Gray shook the drink in his hand. Generally speaking, Bahrain, who was short of alcohol, would run out of the tent immediately after hearing this sound, but this time the entire camp was very quiet, even the people in the center of the camp. The bonfire has also been extinguished, and when the branches are gently stirred, there is not even a single spark at the bottom of the bonfire.

Gray was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran into the tent in the camp. He saw a sentence written on the ground of the tent: The road to the end of the world is long, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Indeed, it would be better for him and Bahrain to stay together indefinitely. After all, the next time they meet in different camps will only be on the battlefield. At that time, all fate will be put aside, and he and Bahrain will fight until one side dies. .

Therefore, it is the best blessing for the two of them that they will never see each other until the end of the world.

Thinking about it carefully, the two-year period has indeed arrived. Although the guy from Bahrain seems to be an unruly knight, his inner feelings are still very delicate and complex. Under his extremely confident character, he also likes to take mistakes into his own hands. He has a character that keeps his guilt in his heart.

I guess this guy didn’t want to face the tears when parting, so he chose this way to say goodbye, or he happily threw his little tail aside and went alone. No matter which way, it’s Bahrain. That guy has behaviors that he might exhibit.

Gray sat on a tree stump in the camp and slowly poured the ice-cold wine in his hand into his mouth. He used this bag of wine to remember the two years of getting along with each other. From then on, there was no further contact.

[Bahrain left quietly. Compared to having a drink face to face, perhaps this is the best outcome. 】

[Of course, in my opinion, Bahrain chose to do this because his drinking capacity is not as good as mine. 】

[The departure of Bahrain can be regarded as a complete end to my journey. I wrapped the entire camp with ice and watched all the ice break and refract in the sun. A smile appeared on my face, and then from here leave. 】

[While returning to our Saxon territory, I met the traitor. 】

[Although I understand that people die for money and birds die for food, I still cannot accept such a betrayal when a Saxon has not yet completely established itself. 】

After Gray left the forest, he should prepare to return to the Saxon territory along the coastline. After all, they came from the sea and lived in areas near the sea. Only a small number of them had invaded the interior of this land. .

After entering this area, Gray no longer needs to wear his hood all the time. After all, everyone here is a member of the same race. At the same time, because he is eager to return home, Gray uses magic to stimulate his brain to ensure that he stays awake at night. Next, we are still moving forward. As for the dangers we may encounter at night...

Thinking about those gangsters or beasts colliding with Gray, it's hard to say who is in danger.

After crossing the front line and passing through a forest, Gray can say he is going home. Although this home is not his former home, as long as they work hard, this land will become their home sooner or later, right?

Um?

Although the dense trees and branches covered most of the light, a faint fire could still be seen. Gray stopped in his tracks, hid his swords under his leather cloak, and then moved towards the fire. direction.

Around the fire, there were four people in cloaks drinking wine and chatting. From the accents, it was obvious that these four people were Saxons. From the materials exposed on the carriage, we could probably tell that they were some dry goods. Dried fish.

In the eyes of most people, these four Saxons should be the bottom people who buy and sell goods.

But Gray noticed more details.

If there were just piles of dried fish in the carriage, then the ruts left on the dirt road seemed a bit wrong. Although the smell of salted fish was strong, it did not reach the level of filling the carriage. Most importantly, What's interesting is that the calluses on the hands of the people in front of me are not caused by catching nets or fishing rods.

Those calluses are the same as mine, indicating that these four people mainly make a living by fighting. The subconscious reactions of these people when they see themselves can also prove their inference of attention.

And more importantly, he has just returned from the northern part of this land. This road leads to the territory of Vortigern. The territory of the humble king is not so short of food. If you really want to pursue profits, you should not run to That King Arthur's territory?

Closing his eyes and listening carefully, he seemed to still be able to hear a small sobbing sound. Gray looked at the carriage with his peripheral vision.

"Little brother, where did you come from?"

A smile appeared on Gray's face, as if he didn't notice anything unusual. He sat down by the fire very carelessly, "I went to the Celtics to get some information. Where are you guys? Are you ready to go?" A deal with the Celtics? Would that work?"

The four people communicated with each other with their eyes, and put on fake smiles on their faces, just like the uncles in the same village looking at their descendants, "I tell you, don't look at these Celtics hating us, but With the decrease in food production, they have to bite the bullet and buy dried fish from us. Although it is a bit dangerous, the profit from the income is also extremely considerable."

While these people were talking, two of the middle-aged men silently walked behind Gray.

At the same time, the two middle-aged men were also constantly exploring Gray's body. His muscles were well-proportioned, he was not short, and his temperament was obviously that of someone who had been on the battlefield. This kind of goods was much better than the little devils they had recovered. valuable.

Under unexpected circumstances, the four of them should be able to easily capture the goods in front of them.

Chapter 18: Use the blood eagle to announce the return of the Wolf King

It's great. Such high-quality and young goods may be sold directly to nobles. However, people who pursue money like them certainly don't care who the other party is. They only care about who pays the most. .

The two middle-aged men standing behind Gray looked at each other, raised the corners of their mouths, and silently shouted "Get it!" !

The two hands grabbed Gray's shoulders and neck at the same time. As long as they controlled the arms of the young man in front of him, pinched his neck hard, and controlled the time and intensity, they could make the young man in front of him suffer from hypoxia. If you fall into a coma, you can do this or that. However, for safety reasons, it is better to tie yourself up with a rope and stuff your mouth with a piece of cloth.

Got it!

A smile appeared on the two people's faces, but then the smile froze on their faces, because after their hands touched the cloak of the young man in front of them, they lost consciousness, and their skin and hands were covered with a layer of frost. , and began to become stiff at the same time, the skin, muscles, blood, and bones were all frozen at this moment.

"Can't you help it? As traitors, your character is still not high enough."

Gray turned his head and showed a mocking smile to the two people, and then stood up. As he stood up, the completely frozen arm was broken directly. No blood was spilled, and there was no pain.

But after seeing this scene, individuals will be frightened, and may even have some mental phantom pain.
