"Is that so? No matter what, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. Come back to Ice Orchid City with us first. If we find out that you're not a spy, we won't make things difficult for you. "
Nian Bing said indifferently, "Go back with you? Let you put me under house arrest? I'm sorry, I have something to do and have to hurry. If you insist on taking me away, please take a look at this first. " As she spoke, she raised her right hand and the badge of the Magicians Guild appeared in her palm.
The knight saw the badge that Nian Bing took out and couldn't help but be stunned. "Magician? You're a magician? "
Nian Bing said, "To be precise, I'm a magician from the Ice Moon Empire's Magicians Guild. I think this badge can represent everything."
The knight hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "We've left the empire for some time. Who knows where your badge came from? Please come with us and confirm the authenticity of your badge."
Nian Bing's eyes were cold. "So, you insist on taking me back to Ice Orchid City? A magician's dignity can't be blasphemed. I'm sorry, I can't go back with you. "
The knight laughed. "Magician? You're just a magician from the Magicians Guild. Do you think your status is noble? Maybe in other empires, but in the Ice Moon Empire, your Magicians Guild is just a vassal. Unless you have the symbol of the Ice God Tower, even if your president is here, he still has to come with us. "
Hearing this, Nian Bing finally understood why Long Zhi had compromised with her. The status of the Ice Moon Empire's Magicians Guild was so low. Even the squadron leader of a knight regiment looked down on them. How could those bigwigs have a good attitude towards the Guild? In fact, it was also the knight's fault for not seeing clearly. If he had recognized that Nian Bing was holding an elder's badge, he would not have been so arrogant. An elder represented a sorcerer, and he was only a swordmaster. Wasn't he looking for death by challenging a sorcerer?
"Insulting a sorcerer is a shameful act. You will pay the price." For the first time, Nian Bing took out her Morning Dew Dagger and Zhengyang Saber at the same time and held them upside down. Now, the two peerless divine blades were about to display their second effect. Therefore, they should be called the Sigh of the Ice Goddess and the Roar of the Fire God.
The knight snorted coldly. Although he was wearing armor, his speed was not slow at all. He directly grabbed Nianbing.
A fist-sized fireball shot out from the Fire God's roar. The fireball flashed as it met the Knight's large hand. Instant casting a Tier 1 spell was nothing to Nian Bing. To the Knight, a Tier 1 spell could not break through his defense. However, was Nian Bing's attack really that simple? The answer was no. When the fireball appeared, the Sigh of the Ice Goddess in his right hand transformed into an icicle. Due to its special shape, the icicle was more suitable for flight. When the fireball came into contact with the Knight's palm, it instantly collided with the fireball.
"Boom —" A loud sound was accompanied by a mournful scream. The Knight, who had thought that he would win, lost his right hand. Together with his armor, he was blasted into ashes. The baptism of ice and fire caused him to retreat a few steps and sit on the ground. His whole body was twitching non-stop.
These days, Nian Bing had been in contact with warriors the most. He had been thinking, how could he compete with warriors who were good at close combat? Magic scrolls were obviously the best choice. However, scrolls were limited. If one day he lost the protection of a scroll, what would happen? Therefore, he began to study magic. From the day he left Ice City, he came up with a good idea, and that was to make full use of the same origin of ice and fire. The basis of the same origin of ice and fire was the balance of ice and fire. The two spells must have the same energy to produce an explosive effect. Nian Bing understood this point very well. Therefore, when he was casting the same origin of ice and fire, balancing the power of the two spells was the most troublesome thing for him. After separating from Kitty, Nian Bing suddenly thought of something. Did magic have to be pursued to a high level in order to be powerful? No, this was not absolute. Since he had the special ability of the same origin of ice and fire, if he could use this ability in a low level spell, then the effect would be the same.
From that day onwards, Nian Bing kept experimenting. Through his experiments, he found that it was much easier for low level spells to produce the same origin of ice and fire than high level spells. Especially now, when he used the Sigh of the Snow Goddess and the Roar of the Fire God at the same time. He only needed to use a tier-1 spell each, and they were in a state of balance. When these two tier-1 spells collided, they could produce a power that was not inferior to a tier-3 Bursting Flames. This kind of explosion might not be much to a martial arts expert, but it was more than enough to deal with a swordsman, especially when the opponent underestimated him.
The most frightening thing was that after Nian Bing succeeded in his research, he began to study the characteristics of ice and fire that Long Zhi had mentioned. Just like when cooking food, the taste of the food itself had to be completely revealed. Similarly, the same origin of ice and fire magic also had to completely reveal the essence of ice and fire. Only then could it truly have the power of the same origin of ice and fire.
Kitty's father, Hillard, had also given Nian Bing the same advice. Under his guidance, Nian Bing no longer pursued high level spells, but developed small spells instead. Only by starting small, when the small spells had completely released the power of the same origin of ice and fire, would the high level spells be able to explode with greater power. Therefore, these days, he rarely used the same origin of ice and fire magic to cultivate. Instead, he cultivated a single type of spell separately, fully understanding their characteristics.
That day, Nian Bing's first sacrifice after his research was Ruyi. At that time, in order to conceal his identity, Nian Bing only used ice magic. If it was in the past, although his blizzard would still hurt Ruyi, it would definitely not be fatal. However, that day was different. The blizzard fully displayed the characteristics of ice. The powerful ice ability directly forced the cold poison into Ruyi's body, almost taking her life.
And today, Nian Bing experimented with the first level of the same origin of ice and fire magic for the first time after he formed it. The explosive force blew up the knight's hand. In an instant, the two extreme energies of ice and fire simultaneously entered the knight's body under the control of Nian Bing's powerful spiritual power. Whether it was ice followed by fire or fire followed by ice, the feeling was definitely not pleasant. When two extreme energies fused together, it was much more terrifying than a single one. In fact, the body of the squadron leader was being infiltrated by the cold poison and the fire poison. Although only one of his hands was blown off, he had already lost the ability to continue fighting. From this blow, Nian Bing finally stepped into the door of the same origin of ice and fire magic.
Seeing that their captain was injured, the remaining nine knights rushed over at the same time. Although they did not have the strength of a swordsman, they were warriors of the Ice Moon Empire's Iron Blood Knight Regiment. They also had the ability of a senior warrior, especially their cooperation. After many years of training and life, they had already become one.
Nine swords attacked Nianbing at the same time. Although they had not yet reached the level of releasing fighting aura, nine senior warriors attacking at the same time, coupled with the tacit understanding of the battle formation, even a great swordsman would not be able to do anything to them in a short period of time.
It was a pity that these nine high-level warriors didn't encounter a warrior. A battle between warriors could never be compared to a battle between magicians and warriors.
The consumption of a tier-1 spell was very small for a great magician. At the same time, the biggest advantage of a spell that did not require chanting was that it could be released continuously. Dozens of fireballs flew out like a continuous barrage of cannons, amplified by the roar of the God of Fire.
The top grade fire gemstone was not used to save Nian Bing's magic, but it could make the magic more condensed and the attack more powerful.
Just like how a tier-1 fireball spell could not do anything to the swordsman squadron leader, they could not do anything to these senior warriors in front of him. However, when a tier-1 fireball was followed by a large number of icicles, everything would become different.
As the initiator, Nian Bing clearly grasped the changes of each fireball and icicle. If it was someone who did not understand magic, perhaps they would think that a magician of the same origin of ice and fire magic was at most equivalent to an ice magician of the same level and a fire magician of the same level. But this was absolutely not correct.
If an ice magician met a fire magician, what would happen if they used the same amount of magic to release a tier-1 spell?
It was very simple. The two spells would cancel each other out because of their respective extremes. The biggest characteristic of a magician of the same origin of ice and fire was that he could change this situation. Under the control of his spiritual power, he could fully feel the situation of the two spells he released. Now, what Nian Bing wanted to do was to destroy.
Dozens of loud noises brought up a lot of dust and smoke. The warhorses were frightened and ran to the side. It had to be admitted that these well-trained warhorses were of high quality. Although they were frightened, they still didn't run far. Unfortunately, their owners could no longer ride them. Blood and broken limbs outlined a tragic picture. None of the nine senior fighters, the nine fighters of the Iron-blood Knights, could see the sun of the next day.
Nian Bing closed his eyes. He was never afraid of killing people. Since the first time he used ice and fire magic to destroy Liao San, killing people was just a release for him. But, the scene in front of him was still too bloody.
Although he didn't plan to leave anyone alive when he took out the two Peerless Divine Blades, his heart was still heavy.
He turned around and looked at the face that was distorted because of the pain or the death of his companions. He said indifferently, "Why do you have to force me? Now, do you still think that magicians are useless? Now, do you still look down on the Ice Moon Empire's Magician's Union? "
"No, no, you, you are a demon?"
As a platoon leader of the Knights, his mental fortitude shouldn't be so weak. However, everything that happened in front of him was incomprehensible to him. He didn't even understand what had just happened. His nine companions had already lost their lives.
"Yes, I am a demon. To those that I hate, I am a demon. They are dead, and you are their squadron leader. In hell, they still need you to lead the way. Goodbye." As he said that, he walked along the main road. At this time, there was not a single person walking on the main road, perhaps because it was noon.
A red fireball and a blue icicle fell from the sky, and in the same explosion, the last life was taken. Nian Bing didn't stop at all. The blizzard lifted his body into the air and flew into the distance. Nian Bing realized that he was getting better at killing people. It was as if the identity of the Demon Killer had gradually invaded his mind.
If this was a magical experiment, there was no doubt that he had achieved great success. He would not be soft-hearted towards threats that could affect his freedom. However, he did not know that it was because of this operation that the Ice Moon Empire received news of the war at the frontlines a few days later. This caused the Ottoman Empire to suffer heavy losses. This caused a deep crack to appear in the originally friendly relations between the two empires.
Flying in the air, Nian Bing tried not to think about the scene when he killed Liao San. The first time he killed Liao San, Liao San was completely engulfed by magic. He did not feel it too clearly, but the scene of flesh and blood splattering everywhere was so vivid. He was also a normal person. His chest felt tight, and he suppressed the nausea and turned his mind to the application of magic.
The reason why the real ice and fire magic could be so effective was because of the uniqueness of the origin of ice and fire. However, it was also inseparable from his two peerless blades. Without the Roar of the Fire God and the Sigh of the Ice Goddess, he would not be able to exert such great power. With his understanding of fire and ice magic, the true power of these two gems was gradually revealed. Their biggest feature was that under the influence of the same magic, they could manifest a completely different power. The higher the level of the magic, the more obvious it was. These two gems seemed to be able to absorb the magic elements in the air. The energy contained within them was endless, especially when they were combined with the blades.
If he did not use these two magic staffs, he would only be able to cast the ice and fire magic at the beginning of the third step at most. But after using these two magic staffs, he was able to cast the ice and fire magic at the beginning of the fourth step. Of course, there was another reason why he was able to kill a Swordsman and nine elite warriors so easily, and that was because they underestimated him. After all, the ice and fire magic was not something that anyone could understand.
Thinking about the mysteries of magic, Nian Bing's nausea gradually disappeared. Back when he killed Liao San, he had told himself that as long as someone was in his way, the easiest way to deal with them was to destroy them. Therefore, he did not show any mercy. He did not even hesitate after using the magic. The hatred in his heart seemed to be released in the slaughter.
As he was flying forward, Nianbing's heart suddenly tightened. He subconsciously lifted his head to look in front of him and saw three magicians floating in his path. They were all holding magic staffs and looking at him with unfriendly expressions. They were wearing green, red, and blue magician robes respectively. The insignia on their chests showed that the magician wearing the green magician robe was a Great Magician, just like him. The other two were only Advanced Magicians. Nianbing calmed down slightly. He firmly believed that it wouldn't be too much of a problem for him to deal with these three magicians with his ice and fire magic. Thus, he decided to meet them head-on.
When Nian Bing was about thirty meters away from the three magicians, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was because he saw an army camp. An army camp that stretched as far as the eye could see. This was a camp where at least a hundred thousand soldiers were stationed! Because the three magicians were on a small hill, he did not notice them. Now that he saw them, he immediately thought of the killing intent he had felt before. Could it be that they were the army of the Ice Moon Empire? No. That was impossible. This was already the Ottoman Empire. Looking at the appearance of the camp, it seemed that they were moving in an orderly manner. The knight from before had said that the Huarong Empire had joined forces with the Kiru Empire to attack the Ottoman Empire. It seemed that the army stationed here was going to support them. Their original purpose should have been to guard against the Ice Moon Empire.
"Stop." The leading wind magician, Nianbing, raised his magic staff. Nian Bing controlled the blizzard to stop. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
Looking at the blizzard that had not dissipated under Nian Bing's feet, the wind magician asked in a deep voice, "You are an ice magician?"
Nian Bing nodded and said, "That's right. This one is from the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild. I am preparing to head to your country. Do the three of you have any business with me?"
The wind magician frowned and said, "Right now, our army is marching. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please come with us. What's so good about the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild? Wasn't it already in decline? Looking at your appearance, you should be an advanced magician. For such a young advanced magician to stay in the Ice Moon Empire, there is no future for you. "
Nian Bing's mind raced. What should he do now? Should he go with them, reject them, or attack them directly like just now? With the power of ice and fire, he was confident that he could hit them before they could chant the spell. However, he reckoned that they had defensive magic scrolls. Once the battle dragged on, it would be very disadvantageous for him. After all, he was facing an army of a hundred thousand! Even if each of them spat at him, he would drown. His master had said that no matter which country it was, as long as there were more than ten thousand soldiers, there would definitely be strong people. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even friendlier, "Three magicians, may I ask, why would I follow you back to the camp?"
The wind magician said, "Let go, we won't make things difficult for you. When the army starts its journey, we will naturally let you go. Of course, you have to show us the badge of your country's Magician Guild."
Nian Bing thought to himself. With the level of his Blizzard, if he sped up and escaped now, the other party shouldn't be able to do anything to him. Just as he had this thought, dozens of magicians in different clothes rose up from the main army of the Ottoman Empire. Most of them were wind magicians. It was obvious that they had all been cast by the wind magicians with the level four Wind Soaring Spell, allowing them to maintain flight for a period of time. Running? Forget it. With so many magicians, wouldn't he be courting death? Thinking of this, Nian Bing nodded at the wind magician in front of him in a friendly manner, and said, "Okay, I will definitely cooperate."
The three magicians brought Nian Bing to the previous hillside, and Nian Bing showed his magic badge. However, this time, he showed the badge of a high-level magician. A few days before leaving Ice Snow City, Long Zhi had told him to show the badge of an elder in the Ice Moon Empire. That way, he would be able to gain more respect, and it would be more convenient for him to do things. Once he left the Ice Moon Empire, he would have to show another high-level magician badge. After all, Nian Bing was still too young, and the identity of a high-level magician was less likely to be noticed by others. Long Zhi had told him that although the other empires seemed to be able to maintain peace on the surface, there wasn't a single empire that didn't want to annex the other empires. Even the Ottoman Empire, which was on good terms with the Ice Moon Empire, had the same idea. Thus, he definitely couldn't participate in this kind of political struggle. If he could hide as far away as possible, a war would happen sooner or later.
Right now, the war has really started. Of the five great empires on the continent, in terms of strength, the strongest are the Hua Rong Empire and Auland Empire. As for the Ice Moon Empire, due to the existence of the only God's Descent Master, the Ice Goddess Priestess, their status is extremely high. Any country that wants to touch them would have to consider the terrifying God's Descent Technique. The Huarong Empire was the only one among the other four empires that had bought the Ice Goddess's Altar. This was because they had a powerful army of Fire Mages. With three Fire Magi, as well as a large number of High Mages and Great Mages, their overall strength wasn't inferior to the Ice God Tower at all. Nian Bing was very clear about the military strength of the Huarong Empire. When he was young, he heard from his father that the Huarong Empire's Order of the Flaming Lion was the number one Knight Order on the continent. It was also the only Knight Order that was equipped with Magic Cavalry. He didn't know if they had participated in the war this time. Furthermore, with the strength of the Kilu Empire, it wasn't something that Auland could resist.
What was war? Nian Bing didn't really understand. However, he knew that his original plan had to be changed. Going to a place where there was war wouldn't be good for him.
After the Wind Mage recognized Nian Bing's guild badge, he nodded to him and said with a smile, "You really are someone from the Ice Moon Empire. However, looking at your badge, you shouldn't be someone from the Ice God Tower."
Nian Bing sighed softly and said, "My name is Nian Bing. I'm from the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild. Perhaps you also know that our guild's situation hasn't been very good. This time, I was entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to your country's leader. What's going on? Why is your country's military strength being mobilized on such a large scale? "He clearly knew the answer, but this was also where he was smart.
The Wind Mage smiled and said, "Our president has met with your guild's president Long before. We sympathize with your guild's current situation. With a place like the Ice God Tower, the Magic Guild of any other country wouldn't have a good time either. I heard that your guild's current situation is very bad! It seems that even the royal family's special funds have been confiscated. "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "The situation is indeed not very good. Due to many reasons, the guild is gradually declining. This is something that can't be helped. Without the support of the country, an organization like our Magic Guild that consumes a lot of resources has no chance to develop. Because of this matter, our president has been worried. "
The Wind Mage wasn't tall. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. There was a layer of faint green light circulating around his body. His appearance was very ordinary, but his eyes were very sharp. The most distinguishing feature was the large red mole between his eyebrows. He looked at Nian Bing and said, "My name is Sang Jie. As the saying goes, if a tree moves, it dies. If a person moves, he will live. Have you ever thought of changing the current situation? The royal family of the Ice Moon Empire relies too much on the Ice God Tower and won't pay any attention to you. Not now, not in the future. If president Long is willing, I think that our Ottoman Empire's Magic Guild is very willing to accept you. Perhaps you also know that our Ottoman Empire's Wind Mages are the main force, and your guild's president is a Wind Archmage. Our president has said more than once that if he could work with president Long, he would be very honored. "
Nian Bing smiled. Although the Ice Moon Empire's Magic Guild was gradually declining, they still had over a hundred mages. Moreover, there was a top-notch magic expert like Long Zhi. It was very normal for other guilds to try to rope them in. "Great Mage Sang Jie, I'm afraid that this will be very difficult. You also know that your country has always been on good terms with our empire. If our guild moves together, I'm afraid that it will affect the relationship between the two countries."
Sang Jie smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I hope that when you return, you can mention this matter to president Long. As long as he is willing, we will naturally have a way."
Looking at the other party's cryptic smile, Nian Bing felt that the relationship between the countries was very subtle. However, it would be very difficult for his suggestion to succeed. If Long Zhi wanted to leave the Ice Moon Empire, he wouldn't have waited until today. As for the Magic Guild that he founded, he was extremely reluctant to leave! "Alright, when I return, I will definitely pass on the message to the president. Thank you for your kind intentions."
Sang Jie turned his gaze to the Auland army that was moving quickly and orderly. "The continent isn't going to be peaceful anymore. The Huarong Empire and Kilu Empire have jointly launched an attack on our country. I don't know what they are thinking. Isn't Hua Rong afraid that the Langmu Empire, who has always been at odds with them, will take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"
"An ambush?" Nian Bing said in surprise, "Are you going to the battlefield?"
Sang Jie nodded and said, "We have already sent the knights from the Ice Moon Empire to guard the border to report back. Right now, the entire Auland Empire is gathering their forces and marching towards the battlefield. Fortunately, the Huarong Empire didn't send out their elite Order of the Flaming Lion. However, I heard that more than ten cities near our borders have already fallen. We will only know the exact situation when we reach the frontlines. "
Nian Bing asked curiously, "How many troops are participating in the war this time?"
Sang Jie said, "Quite a lot. The Hua Rong Empire and Kilu Empire's allied army has a total of four hundred thousand soldiers. They have split into three groups and are advancing into our territory. If it wasn't for the fact that the enemy is too strong, we wouldn't have to send the troops stationed here back. The Huarong Empire has always been on good terms with the Kilu Empire. They are mortal enemies with the Ice Moon Empire and the Langmu Empire. I really don't understand why they didn't choose the Langmu Empire and chose our country. "
Nian Bing lowered her head and said, "I don't know anything about war. However, I believe that the invaders won't succeed."
Sang Jie turned his head to look at Nian Bing. He found that this handsome young man looked very shy. He couldn't help but have a good impression of him. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Your Ice Moon Empire definitely won't let the Hua Rong Empire and Kilu Empire destroy our country. Otherwise, we will become a springboard for those two empires. The next one to suffer will definitely be your empire. The Langmu Empire is good at defense and not good at offense. They can't really threaten the Hua Rong Empire and Kilu Empire. On the other hand, your empire's Ice God Tower has always had a deep enmity with the Huarong Empire's Blazing Sect. The Blazing Sect's position in the Huarong Empire is equal to the imperial family. If not for our Ottoman Empire and Langmu Empire standing in the middle, I'm afraid that the Hua Rong Empire and Ice Moon Empire would already be fighting to the death. "
Hearing the three words' Blazing Sect ', Nian Bing's facial muscles couldn't help but twitch. He didn't say anything else. Together with the three external magic of the Ottoman Empire, he waited for the military rank to leave.
The 100,000 strong army left along the main road in a majestic manner, forming a winding route on the main road. The cavalry was at the very back. When the heavy cavalry and light cavalry corps left at the same time, the original Lao Zhai had become empty. Sang Jie took out a green whirlwind emblem and handed it to Nian Bing. "After the war is over, even if your President Long doesn't want to join our guild, you can take this emblem with you. You'll find me at the end of the day, and I'll make the arrangements for you. Alright, we have to leave. Oh, right, if you want to go to the capital, your next stop should be the nearby Ulan City. I suggest that you don't go there. If the letter you sent isn't urgent, it's best that you don't go to the capital for a short period of time. The war is tense now, and the security around the capital is very tight. As a foreign magician, I'm afraid that you won't be welcomed there. Therefore, I suggest that Little Bell go to Lanmeng City, which is not far from Ulan City, and wait for a period of time. It's best to wait until the war ends before making any plans. As Lanmeng City is at the rear, it can be said to be the Ottoman Empire's paradise. It has the empire's best warrior and magic academies. You can go there and take a look when you have time. Alright, we'll meet again someday. Oh mighty wind! Lend me your freedom, and drive the wind of freedom between heaven and earth. Let us grow a pair of wings to fly, far away from the hustle and bustle, far away from all the troubles. " As he chanted the incantation, his inconspicuous magic staff emitted an intense green light, which not only enveloped him, but also the other two wind mages. Under the support of the green light, their speed suddenly increased. Going down the hillside, it was as if they really grew wings of the wind, gliding towards the large army in the distance. Seeing this situation, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel apprehensive. Sang Jie's level of magic was higher than she had imagined. Although this Wind Wing Spell was a sixth rank support spell, when used on three people at the same time, the amount of magic required was not as little as the sixth rank. Looking at his appearance, he should be able to enter the realm of a Magic Shooter very soon. His suggestion was well-intentioned. Although he had the intention to rope her in, according to what he said, now was indeed not a good time to go to the Ottoman Empire's capital.
