Witch, don't be so lazy

As soon as it heard the sound, it realized something was wrong and immediately froze in place, as if as long as it didn't move, what had just happened would not have happened.

"...Could this guy be a parallel import?"

An Ke immediately thought of the bluffing monsters she had encountered in Hongyan Town.

"The magic power and aura are real, at the level of the third level, but it is indeed very different from the dragon I remember."

Although he didn't fully understand the specific meaning of the word "parallel imports", based on the tone and the current situation, the little lamb naturally continued what the little fat pigeon said.

An Ke stared at the giant creature in front of him suspiciously: "Is it the remnant of the Winter Dragon? Or a demonic creature? It doesn't seem like it."

"There really isn't that twisted and chaotic feeling (eight) so just let it go..."

The lamb hesitated for a moment, then walked forward.

As if frightened, the ice crystal statues around moved together, blocking the middle of the road and raising the ice weapons in their hands.

As for the ice dragon, it let out a low roar while retreating, still with that hoarse voice like a bronze gong.

"It breathed at us."

Anke flapped her wings. "Its gaze seems to be constantly darting between the two of us."

"He's mainly been focusing on the witch's treasure and you, occasionally sneaking a glance at me."

The lamb corrected.

The situation remained deadlocked for a while.

An Ke blinked, feeling the vague connection, and finally made up her mind.

"Why don't I go over and take a look? I feel Malchana's call again."

"Okay, be careful. If anything unexpected happens, I'll take you away at any time."

The lamb shook his golden horseshoe and shield.

Anko nodded.

She flapped her wings and flew slowly forward. When she approached the ice crystal guards, they separated in an orderly manner, revealing the passage in the middle, as if they were lining up to welcome a distinguished guard of honor.

Across the passage is the frost dragon.

It kept staring at the snowy owl in front of it, and was very confused in its mind as to why the other party had both the aura of disgust and affection in it. However, sensing the distant urging, it still tentatively moved forward.

As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, surprising changes occurred.

The body of the frost dragon began to crack piece by piece, as if time had gone back. It turned back into a statue, and then turned into flying snow and tiny ice crystals all over the sky, all rushing towards Anko.

The system starts popping up prompts.

[Loading... Winter Dragon's response... Error... Correcting... Malchana's response... Success... External force detected... Determined to be a blessing... Adjustment complete... Received.]

Malchana's Frost Protection

at the same time.

The original Shadow Protection also changed and became [Baba Yaga's Shadow Protection].

Cast Eye of Judgment.

Anke discovered that he had a large amount of sky blue spirituality in his body, even more than the shadow spirituality.

...It's just okay.

Due to the extremely rich experiences in the past few months, this no longer shocked Encore.

But then again, he is more generous than the Dark Sun Lord in being willing to give the blessing, so he wins!

Although for a moment she began to think about which Frost School spell to practice, the movement around her immediately brought her back to her senses.

It was a distant sound, mixed in with the cold wind.

"...The direction where the snow falls is the [Winter Land]... The spirits of nature will guide you forward..."

An Ke was stunned.

This was obviously a new mission, nothing surprising. She was just stunned because...

"Yang Bao, did you hear that?"

"Well, I also heard the call of the Winter Witch. The [Winter Sleeping Land] is her demiplane, and she actually asked us to go with her!"

The lamb nodded, obviously excited and surprised.

As for the so-called spirit of nature.

The two little ones shifted their gaze at the same time.

Fall to the ground ahead.

I have seen that dragon before, but now it seems that I cannot call it a "dragon".

Because its true body is only the size of a palm, not even one-fifth of the snowy owl incarnation of Encore.

"Gah!"

Perhaps noticing Anke's strange look, the little creature expressed its dissatisfaction with a "dragon roar".

"...It's not a true dragon either. At most, it's a nature spirit born from this Snowfall Valley, combining a bit of the spirit of the Winter Dragon. Furthermore, when it appeared, this demiplane was probably already devoid of life."

The lamb explained, "Because it has no inheritance, it can't speak either the Common Tongue or the Ancient Elven Tongue. It relies entirely on its own understanding of combat and spells. Even with the home advantage, it let the dark wizard overpower it and even had to hide... The Winter Witch might want you to come and teach it and give it some direction."

It turns out that it is not really a dragon. The dragon power it possesses is entirely due to the spirituality of the Winter Dragon.

"..."

It turned out that our original teammate should be this little guy, but unexpectedly we found a strong foreign aid and directly defeated the opponent.

Anke scratched his head and stared at the nature spirit.

The latter also stared at her.

"Uh, you heard it too. The witch asked you to lead us. Hey, can you understand what we are saying?"

Anko tilted her head.

"Gah!"

The little ice dragon has innocent eyes.

"It doesn't understand, it's just barking nonsense."

The lamb blinked.

"...Forget it, let's give it a name first. From now on, we'll call it... Gazi, how about that?"

Enketiling (Dream-[First% proposal.

"Ga!" The little ice dragon didn't understand, but vaguely sensed a sense of malice, so it protested.

"It feels weird."

"Then quack."

"Ga!" continued the protest.

"It seems okay."

"Okay, then you'll be called Gaga from now on..."

"Gah!"

Feeling ignored, the little ice dragon shouted loudly, and the words came out of his throat in a distorted voice, "S...Ma...Go!"

"That's the name of the Winter Dragon. Don't use it carelessly, haha." Anke reminded.

"Gor…Ma…S!"

"The reverse is too abstract, haha, you're not going to rearrange all these words later, are you...ah!"

Looking at the little ice dragon that suddenly pounced on him, An Ke was so scared that she flapped her wings, "Help! The telekinetic shield is broken! It's a level three! It wants to bite me!"

A flutter.

"Ah! Yang Bao, why are you just watching!"

"Baby dragons will nibble to show affection, and so will lambs."

"...Thank you, but it really bit me! It hurts! A small piece of my soul shell fell off. Help!"

"That's signing a pledge. It will become your nature spirit, little fat pigeon."

Chapter 85 Shared Talent

Inside the sky-blue obelisk.

An Ke looked at his wing which had a small hole in it, and then stared in surprise at the little ice dragon in front of him that was emitting a bright blue light.

A very strange feeling.

As his soul and consciousness shook, Anke felt a connection formed between himself and the little ice dragon.

In the dark, the invisible contract was completed under the witness of the spiritual world.

That was not a master-slave contract, but an equal partnership contract, and a prompt popped up immediately.

[Contracted with the Nature Spirit——Gomas]

Although he wondered for a moment why the little ice dragon's name was Gomas instead of Gaga as he had given it, most of Anke's attention was focused elsewhere.

Because she really didn't expect that she would be lucky enough to sign a contract with the spirit of nature.

After all, this is an extremely rare thing in the magical world. Countless wizards and elves who practice the way of resonance spend their entire lives, but often cannot find an ownerless nature spirit that is willing to sign a contract, which makes it impossible for them to become true druids.

The spirit of nature, also called the spirit of the wilderness, mainly refers to those extraordinary creatures that are born by chance in a specific environment. They are very special spirits, and some people say they are the king of spirits.

In addition to strong strength, high intelligence, and extraordinary potential, as long as they are carefully trained, they can become powerful fighters or assistants. These are just the most basic qualities.

What really makes nature spirits stand out from other summoned creatures, animal companions, and ordinary spirits is that they can share their talents with their contractors.

For example, at this moment, with prompts one after another, An Ke found that he had shared three talents at once.

-

【Friend of Nature·Frost】

[Because you carry the aura of nature, most animals and nature spirits are willing to approach you, especially creatures with frost attributes. They are even willing to obey your orders to a certain extent. At the same time, some monsters and abyssal creatures will hate and resent you even more.]

-

Snow Oath

[Increases perception in cold environments, and also increases the recovery speed of magic and mental power. The more compatible the natural environment, the greater the improvement.]

-

Winter Elegy

[When casting frost magic, there is no distance attenuation in cold environments]

[Talent grows with rank]

-

Oh my god.

Anke immediately understood why in the stories of adventurers and bards, one of the ways for the protagonist to counterattack was to meet the ownerless spirit of nature and sign a soul contract with it.

Because of the talents gained through sharing, a wizard with poor qualifications can immediately turn his life around.

For example, the three talents that Gaga shared with Encore seem to be stronger than the other.

[Friend of Nature·Frost], at a glance, this is simply the higher level of the magic trick "Friend of Animals", a talent that animal trainers and elves dream of.

If Thornes had this talent, his wasteland wolf pack might double in size, or even be replaced with more powerful monsters. The efficiency of practicing specific spells would also be improved. He would definitely not be willing to convert to the school of necromancy.

These so-called hostility from some monsters and abyssal creatures don’t matter. I don’t care.

Especially for Encore, since they have to kill the creatures that feed the Devil's Gospel anyway, it doesn't matter if the hatred is high.

[Snow Oath] is even more powerful.

Under certain circumstances, the caster's perception can be directly increased, the recovery speed of magic power and mental power is also increased, and the endurance is improved.

Although the extent of the increase is still unknown, as a composite talent, it is already extremely powerful.
