The first thing that starts is a bud.
As the rain falls, the silver bud starts to grow. Its branches and leaves start to spread and the silver leaves start to unfurl, blooming towards the sky …
Then, the flower bud starts to wake up. It, no, she starts to stretch her body. Pieces of gauze start to spread out, turning into pieces of beautiful petals.
The long growth period is completed in a few seconds. Unfortunately, what is blooming is not a real rose, but an ice rose on the girl's fingertips.
"Ice Style: Rose Garden."
She gently crushed the branches of the rose, letting the leaves and petals go with the wind. Under the calm words, there was a naked killing intent. Behind Elisa was a garden of silver roses, and a few seconds ago, it was an empty space without a single soul.
Every rose is exquisite and perfect. Every root, every leaf is slightly trembling and breathing, as if they are really alive. Just the silver ice material, without a doubt, shows that this is the product of magic.
Then, the wind starts to blow … No, the air is still calm. It's just that the roses look like they are being blown by the wind. Countless rose petals fly with the wind and return to the wind, turning into sharp blades that move with the wind.
"Killing intent: Dancing with the rose."
That seemingly beautiful scene was actually a deadly trap. There was no wind at all, and those rose petals that seemed to move with the wind were, in fact, Blades of Frost controlled by mages.
Every ice rose petal looks soft, but it is actually extremely sharp. Its sharpness can cut through heavy armor.
All of the ice blades are pointed at one target … That is a fiery red giant egg.
Countless ice petals attack this giant egg, but unfortunately, the moment they get close to the egg, they are instantly vaporized.
But Eliza does not give up. With a flick of her finger, the other three roses bloom in the air. Then, they crazily absorb ice magic to strengthen themselves. The petals start to condense magic crystals and the branches with ice crystals start to mature and grow … It seems that she is preparing to gather magic to make it big.
"Aiya, she was forced to use her Little Nirvana so quickly. Your Eliza is really not simple. Compared to the immature Anne, she is simply overwhelming. Did you teach her this? How beautiful. I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. However, if I'm not wrong, her killing intent is serious? Do you really want to kill Anne? "
With Little Red's eyesight, how could she be mistaken? She was only saying that to embarrass me.
I shook my head. I knew what she meant. How could my ice magic be so precise …
"No. You know that my understanding of magic is very simple and crude … "
"Gather your magic power to destroy it. If you can't destroy it, extract more magic power to destroy it. If you still can't destroy it, blast its outer shell a few more times, then concentrate your firepower to destroy its core. To be honest, your declaration back then left Marguerite and I speechless. Your understanding of Mana stopped at the level of a cannon, your understanding of Elemental Mana stopped at the level of a cannon, your understanding of Elemental Mana stopped at the level of different colors, and your control of Elemental Mana was so crude and bold, completely ignoring the nature and attributes of Elemental Mana. I really can't understand how you became a SemiGod Necromancer. "
"With the System's cheat, as long as my power is up to the mark, realms aren't a problem!" Alright, I won't say such a big truth.
People's talents tend to have preferences. My outstanding talent in the Power of Order (Holy Light and Law are both Lower Concepts of the Power of Order) and my talent in Swordsmanship allowed me to easily become an ace Holy Knight. After that, when I changed to become a Dark Mage, I wasn't able to learn Dark Magic well. However, Necromancy is a Lower Concept of the Power of Chaos, yet I was able to learn it well. This means that my talent in the Power of Chaos isn't bad, which is already hard to come by.
As for Elemental Magic that requires meticulous control, is there anything wrong with concentrating magic power to blast it? The simpler it is, the purer and more powerful it is. Back then, the "Ice Aeon" that I invented is a powerful Forbidden Spell that left its mark in history. Although its principle is still to concentrate magic power to blast it, the amount of magic power used is a little ridiculous …
Elemental Magic originated from the Ancient Elemental Gods. Logically speaking, it should belong to the Chaos Faction. However, due to its outstanding destructive power and low learning requirements, it has already become one of the mainstream magic of the two factions.
"Hmph, the common people's understanding of Elemental Magic is going astray … Alright, don't look at me like that. I know that I suck in this aspect. You are a Master of Wind and Fire, a publicly acknowledged expert of fire. Don't bully a little ice apprentice like me. "
"No, you don't have to belittle yourself. Although your minor magic is terrible, due to the purity of your magic power and the large amount of reserves, major Forbidden Spell spells are indeed terrifying. However, your disciple is obviously walking the opposite path from you. Her magic control is so high that she can carve leaf patterns on an ice rose. The idea of the rose blade is also not bad, but being too exquisite makes it easy to break. It seems that she has gone overboard. "
"After all, she is a fire element half-demon. Even though she has studied Ice Magic for close to a hundred years, the amount of Ice Magic she has accumulated is still limited. You should know that the Ice Incantations I have here are major Magic spells. Although they aren't difficult to grasp, the requirements on the amount of magic power required is especially high. Since she isn't able to learn high-level and Forbidden Spells, she has to work hard on minor Ice Modeling spells that I am not proficient in. However, from the looks of it, the effects aren't bad."
While chatting with Little Red from time to time, we are also keeping our guard up. We are prepared to make a move at any time to prevent any accidents from happening to the two of us.
Originally, Anne had intended to go out to accumulate battle experience. After knowing that Eliza is also a Gold-pinnacle Mage, Anne challenged her. The scene in front of us is also within her expectations.
Although both of them are at Gold-pinnacle, the hundred years of experience and accumulation allows Eliza to have an overwhelming advantage. Very quickly, she forced Anne into a Little Nirvana state where she has no choice but to hide.
"Pa!" With a snap of her fingers, 3 silver roses that have accumulated a sufficient amount of magic power explode. The fragments are as sharp as the edge of a blade, spinning as they shoot towards the giant egg.
"Ao ao ao!!!"
Without waiting for the ice shards to strike, following a series of howls, the giant flaming egg directly dispersed. The scattered flames first turned into rings of fire that scattered in all directions. Then, at the same time, they darted into the sky and turned into a three-meter wide firebird.
"Little Nirvana absorbs energy and accumulates it. After accumulating energy to the maximum, it explodes with a Phoenix Slash. This is Adam's standard shameless tactic. The temperature of Anne's body in the form of a firebird can easily melt ice. It is too obvious that the elements are mutually exclusive. Looks like your disciple Eliza is going to lose. "
However, I just smile. "I won't lose. Why don't we bet on something? For example, that set of ruby protection jewelry in your treasury? "
Little Red smiles. "I'm not betting. After so many years, have you ever lost a bet with stakes?"
I tried my best to recall, but I really haven't lost much before … Without a 100% chance of winning, I naturally wouldn't bet. Even if I am forced into the game, I will definitely cheat. Even if I really lose, I will probably go back on my words.
Little Red resolves not to bet. However, the scene in front of her makes her feel a little regretful.
The firebird flew to the highest point, released a loud screech, and then began to dive down to attack. At the same time, Elisa didn't stop. However, in front of the high temperature firebird, countless ice spikes, ice spears, and icicles turned into water in the raging flames before they could even touch it.
Facing the danger in front of her, Eliza is as calm as usual. She twirls her hands in the air and the water vapor that she had prepared earlier instantly condenses. Countless ice threads tightly bind the firebird.
"You can't bind Anne!!"
Following Anne's declaration and exertion of strength, more and more ice threads are melted. Eliza continuously weaves new ice threads to strengthen the seal on the firebird. At this moment, it has reached the crucial moment of the contest of strength. This is a symphony of fire and ice, a dance between two young girls.
When Eliza successfully weaves a huge net and completely seals Anne within, another familiar cry of a phoenix echoes. The flames scatter in all directions before gathering back into a firebird that dives down once again.
"Second Nirvana? Little Anne is a quick learner. "
This time, the invisible net of water vapor had been used up, and Eliza had no way to stop it.
Since the interception spell was ineffective, Eliza had nowhere to retreat to when faced with Anne who was charging at her at high speed.
"The Mage has been closed in by the Warrior. Eliza has lost. Ahhh, I should have bet with you. Are you bluffing again? "
"No, if you bet with me this time, you'll definitely lose!"
Little Red still wanted to ask something, but the next scene caused her to cry out in alarm.
Facing the swooping firebird, Eliza actually took a deep breath and spread her arms, ready to reach out to catch it.
"That fire bird's attack is the Blessing of the Phoenix. She's looking for death!" Little Red was about to enter the arena to end this duel, but I pulled her back. "Don't underestimate Eliza."
"Zzt zzt zzt zzt!" That was the sound of meat being cooked on a metal plate. Both of her hands were probably cooked. However, Eliza seemed to be oblivious to it. She threw away her staff, sucked in her stomach and puffed out her chest. Retracting her right arm, she threw a punch!
"Dang!" When this punch landed, the sound of an iron hammer striking a bell was actually heard.
In the midst of the shaking, the firebird's elemental shell scattered, revealing the red-haired girl who turned her head around …
What followed after was a one-sided crushing …
"Mount Entanglement, Standing Throw, Arm Hugging Leg Hook, Metal Plate Throw, Neck Twisting, Hell's Reincarnation … Aren't these your weird fighting techniques?"
"Please call him Mage Protection Technique. This is a precious fighting technique from another world."
Un, calling it a wrestling technique isn't wrong either …
At this moment, Anne's arms were already pinned down by a cross, so she could only slap the ground and beg for mercy. The outcome has been decided, Eliza won.
"So that's how it is, a half-demon? What a terrifying brute force. "
"Yeah, this brute force is enough to wrestle with a SemiDragon. You haven't seen her clean before. With just a light lift, she can lift the entire sofa, and then calmly take away the money hidden underneath as the wages she owes …"
Alright, it seems like she accidentally self-destructed something again. But at this moment, this isn't the main point.
"She still hasn't had the chance to show off her combination of steel wire and ice wire in close combat. Did you forget that she is also a fire attribute half-demon? Her resistance to fire damage is shockingly high. Coupled with the hostile ice magic and outstanding close combat ability, she is simply Anne's natural enemy."
"You seem to be very proud?"
"Of course I'm proud. My disciple defeated Adam's disciple. Although she did have the advantage of the element restriction, doesn't this mean that my teaching ability is better than Adam's?"
"Heh, she is the disciple of you and Marguerite."
Finally, Lilith, who had been watching the entire battle from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
"Lady Rose's messenger has been waiting for two days. May I know when Lord will be meeting her?"
"There's no hurry. Dark Elves are all lowly wretches. Even if you talk to them nicely, they won't listen. Let her go for two days first. Let her understand her situation first."
Hearing this, even though it is obvious that she is slandering their own race, Diana and Yawen, who were on the same side as Lilith, nodded their heads furiously.
"I heard that the one who came is the matriarch of a mid-tier family, so she won't interact obediently. In my opinion, we have to let her go for half a month first."
This isn't the first time I have come into contact with Dark Elf nobles and I am quite experienced. If these female nobles are Rose's Priestess, it will be even more difficult to deal with. In the eyes of Priestess Rose and the Dark Elf matriarch, males of all races can only be divided into two types: domestic slaves with a master and wild slaves without a master …
I don't even need to meet her to know that the ambassador will speak in a tone of charity, choking me to death the moment she opens her mouth.
"Males, may the light shine upon your head (This is the most vicious curse of the Dark Elves). Our Goddess has decreed that you must …"
Basically, negotiating with the Dark Elves often becomes a one-sided order from them. It's fine if you agree to it, but if you don't, they will start a war. 99% of the time, this weird diplomatic method doesn't work … However, the Dark Elves don't need diplomatic methods. Most of the time, they will just attack you directly. If they can negotiate with you, it means that they have already promised you their strength. At the very least, it isn't worth it to fight.
I can guarantee that even now, the Dark Elves still think that we owe them a favor … Why? Back then, when the two Underground Autarchs attacked us, they didn't hit us while we were down or backstab us. In the Dark Elves' strange values, not taking advantage of us is already a great act of kindness.
Right now, it is more like a test. If the arrogant messenger still received preferential treatment, it naturally means that you are begging them again. Then, even more terrible conditions will come.
Thus, negotiating with the Dark Elves requires a lot of time and patience. Whoever takes the initiative to negotiate first will be at a disadvantage right from the start.
However, if we are comparing patience … Hehe, I am very patient. It would be best to wait for the last messenger of the Underground Autarchs to arrive so that we can negotiate together.
At this moment, on the other side of the empty space, a group of Dark Elf Justice Knight runs past. They are wearing only a thin layer of clothing and barefoot. Yet, they are carrying their own heavy plate armor on their back. Shouting a ferocious chant, they pass by us …
Doesn't the scene in front of us seem a little familiar? Back then, this is how I punished Diana.
Looking at my questioning gaze, Diana says embarrassedly.
"That punishment was tough, but after reaching my limit, I realized that my strength had a breakthrough. This kind of barefoot marching is very effective in training one's willpower and squeezing out the limits of one's stamina. Thus, I popularized this training method in the team. Two of my comrades who were stuck at the pinnacle of Silver-rank broke through to Gold-rank after a bath."
There seems to be some gratitude in those beautiful eyes. However, I don't feel any joy. Instead, I ask worriedly.
"I'm not asking about that. Your slogan …"
"That, 'One, two, one, two, train hard, three, four, three, capture Roland, five, six, five, six, stew the Lich, seven, eight, seven, eight, seven, save the dowry'. That was made up by the little lass Momo to remind us to pay attention to the target in front of us."
"Forget about the others, but dowry? Are you in such a hurry to get married? Then why did you reject the pursuit of the Knight lad in the city? "
"Oh, you misunderstood. The dowry here is our customary term. You see, we Dark Elves don't have the same concept of marriage as other races. We all want to find a partner. Don't we all marry a man? In our custom, 'dowry' is equivalent to 'money to marry a man'. It is equivalent to your so-called 'hidden wealth'. "
Speechless, I shake my head.
"I respect the customs of other races, so I will reluctantly accept it. However, isn't Roland …"
Before they can finish their words, the faces of the two Dark Elf Team Leaders turn cold …
"Twice. Our home, the salary and belongings that we saved up with much difficulty. Lord, this is the only thing we can't give up on. We have to give our sisters an explanation!!"
Alright, there's no need to say anything else. Looks like I am definitely going to be the scapegoat.
