Not only was there a change in his magic power, but his mental strength was also different from before. This was especially reflected in his observation of magic elements. Under full concentration, he could clearly see the minute changes in every single magic element. This could only mean one thing, and that was the improvement of his mental strength.
Taking a deep breath, Nian Bing slowly opened his eyes in joy. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly saw a large wave of blue light rippling towards him. He subconsciously raised his hand to release a rank 2 ice and fire fusion magic attack, but before the attack could display its power, it was already swallowed by the blue light. His whole body turned cold, and Nian Bing's whole body was swayed up. What kind of blue light was that? It was clearly water. Wave after wave of water strongly attacked Nian Bing's body. The water waves suddenly turned left and right, and Nian Bing could clearly see black debris flying out of his body, revealing his originally smooth skin. It was impossible to breathe underwater, and the feeling of suffocation made Ling Nian Bing's whole body extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, he suddenly felt the magic ripples in his body suddenly increase in speed. Moreover, there were some subtle changes in the interaction between the ice and fire elements. When the ice element met the fire element, it actually produced a burning sensation. Just as Nian Bing thought he was going crazy, the feeling of suffocation disappeared. He didn't need to open his mouth to breathe, and he could still live normally in the water. What was going on? Nian Bing was very surprised, but he quickly discovered that when the ice element in his body was burned, it released a faint bubble. The bubble merged into his body, and naturally, he didn't feel suffocated anymore.
The blue waves finally disappeared, and Nian Bing stood on the ground naked. Fortunately, his shoes were still on, and the black charcoal on his body had been completely washed away. His white skin emitted a layer of pink healthy luster. The cool and refreshing feeling came along with the refreshing feeling, and the fire element naturally circulated around his skin to expel the chill.
"Hey, Nian Bing boy, didn't you drink some water?" Garamandis's surprised voice sounded, and he walked out from behind a tree in his red clothes.
Nian Bing took out a set of rough clothes from his spatial ring and changed into it. He sighed inwardly. It was really a pity that Xuejing gave him the clothes, after all, it was good stuff! It was gone just like that. He looked at Garamandis unhappily and said, "You deliberately soaked me with water, didn't you?"
Garamandis laughed and said matter-of-factly, "You're so dirty, it's too embarrassing to be with me. Since you're already awake, you naturally have to clean your body. Kid, you've been meditating for a day and night. Hmm, looks like you've made quite a bit of progress. Although you humans can't compare to us dragons, your perception is indeed not bad. "
Nian Bing was very grateful to Garamandis in his heart. At this time, his spiritual force had completely recovered, and he already understood everything that had happened before. Garamandis was by his side, and if he was in danger, he would definitely help. And when he saw him fighting against Feng Xiang and Feng Kong, it was nothing more than to practice his magic, so that he could have a breakthrough in actual combat. After he successfully concealed himself from Feng Kong and restored his safety, he helped him to meditate, so that his magic made new progress. He wanted to say some words of gratitude, but he didn't know why, but looking at Garamandis's playful smile, he couldn't say anything.
"Nian Bing, I have a question to ask you. That day, when you were fighting against that elder, you had time to use the strongest fusion of ice and fire. Why did you choose the fusion of light and fire instead of the fusion of ice and fire? After all, the magic used by the mimicry is a bit weaker than your own magic. "
Nian Bing said, "That day, I really hesitated. These days, I can basically control two kinds of mimicry magic. Ice and fire magic can barely be used as a single target attack of the eighth step. Later, the reason why I chose to use the fusion of fire magic of the eighth step and light magic of the seventh step was mainly because light magic itself has healing ability, so that it can better protect my breath. Moreover, ice and fire magic are very extreme. After their fusion, the power produced is mainly explosive. Magic of the eighth step is the limit of my control. If I use the strongest fusion magic, my control will be much worse, and there is the possibility of a backlash. Taking a step back, although the power of the magic attack will decrease a bit, I can control it more cleverly. "
Garamandis suddenly said, "So that's how it is. Hmm, your understanding of magic is very thorough. However, at that time, the magic in your body was probably not enough to fuse two spells of the eighth step. Here. " With a wave of his hand, four rays of light shone at the same time. Morning Dew Dagger, Righteous Yang Dagger, Holy Radiance Dagger, and Proud Heaven Dagger fell in front of Nian Bing at the same time. "Keep these treasures well. Without them, you are only the lowest level of Archmage. But with them, you can display magic close to that of an Archmage. There is something I have to tell you. Although mimicry magic is very useful, and can produce the effect of fusion magic, if you rely too much on it, you will inevitably encounter a great hindrance in the future. Magic power is the root of magic advancement, do you understand? However, I am a bit greedy for you now. Ice and fire magic of the same origin, the speed at which you absorb magic essence is much faster than ordinary people. Maybe, within ten years, you really have the possibility of becoming a Divine Mage. "
Nian Bing was overjoyed, "Really? If that's the case, I can find the Ice Goddess priest for revenge. "
Garamandis snorted disdainfully and said, "I'm just saying that it's possible. The improvement of magic not only requires hard work, but also luck and comprehension. It's up to you whether you can achieve it or not. Moreover, even if you reach the level of a Divine Mage, you won't be a match for that Ice Goddess priest. She has been a Divine Mage for many years, and the magic she can use is not something you can imagine. "
Nian Bing resolutely said, "No matter what, I won't give up. The enmity of my parents is absolutely irreconcilable. Moreover, if I reach the level of a Divine Mage, I won't just be a Divine Mage of a single magic. If I use fusion magic, even if she has been training for longer than me, I may still have a chance. "
Garamandis stared blankly for a moment, saying, "What you said is actually somewhat reasonable. However, I've never seen a God's Descent Master use fusion magic before. "
Nian Bing looked at Garamandis and said, "You haven't used it before? Your magic should be at the level of a Divine Mage, right? Why don't you try using fusion magic? "
Garamandis shook his head and said, "No, we Dragons are different from you humans. Mimicry magic is only one of the special skills we specialize in. I've told you before that I can only use spells up to the ninth grade for the other elements. What we dragons are truly adept at is the Dragontongue Magic of our own element. Spells of that level combined with ordinary ninth grade spells are completely useless. You are still too weak now. When you really reach that level, you will naturally understand the meaning of my words. Alright, let's go. We have been out for a whole day. I'm afraid that your new mother of yours is already anxious. "
Nian Bing was shocked and didn't say anything more. He hurriedly cast a Blizzard on himself and followed Garamandis back to Auland City. After this battle, his greed for magic increased greatly. He could even contend against a warrior of Swordsman's level. This undoubtedly proved the strength of fusion magic. Although Feng Kong was injured at that time and under the influence of various circumstances, Nian Bing's greed had increased by a lot. He believed that if he reached the high level of a Magic Shooter, he would definitely be able to defeat Swordsman who was a level higher than him.
"Nian Bing, where did you go? Why didn't you say hello to me?" Seeing Nian Bing appear, Yu Ruyan's face was filled with dissatisfaction. After Nian Bing disappeared yesterday, she was very worried. She sent people to look for him in the city but didn't find any trace of him. This made her think of Elder Feng and the others. Fortunately, she found that Garamandis had also disappeared. Only then did she feel relieved.
Feeling Yu Ruyan's concern, Nian Bing's heart was filled with warmth. He lowered his head and recounted what happened yesterday in detail. However, in front of Lan Yu, he gave most of the credit for his survival to Garamandis. The current him didn't want too many people to know his true strength.
After hearing Nian Bing's words, Yu Ruyan frowned and turned to look at Duke Lan Yu sitting behind the desk. "Brother Yu, should we take action?"
Lan Yu looked at Nian Bing and sighed. "Don't tell me you want to capture the elders? You should know their tempers. Forget it. Nian Bing has Mr. Dragon with her. After this failure, I believe that the Feng people won't act rashly again. Nian Bing, you should stay in the residence for a few more days. When the Feng people and the elders know that they can't do anything, they will naturally leave the Ottoman Empire. "
Nian Bing shook his head. "Godfather, don't worry. With this lesson, I will be more careful in the future. There won't be any danger. Mother, I suddenly thought of something today. It made me feel very strange. " Garamandis had already returned to his room to sleep. He didn't have any scruples when speaking. Moreover, he was becoming less and less wary of Garamandis.
Yu Ruyan pulled Nian Bing to sit down and helped him comb his messy golden hair. Her movements were gentle and natural. Her warm hands kept brushing Nian Bing's hair, making him feel very comfortable. "What is it? Is it about the Feng people?"
Nian Bing said, "On the way back, I thought about it carefully. I realized that I have a very special feeling about you. I also have this feeling about Feng Nu."
Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because we were once the hope of the Feng people. That's why you have this feeling. It's nothing. However, that girl is indeed very outstanding. She can reach the level of the Royal Feathers so quickly. It can be seen that her comprehension is very high. She is definitely not below me in the past. As long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely become the pride of the Feng people. "
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, mother. It's not the aura of the Feng people. It's an indescribable feeling. You also know that I am a magician. As a magician, I am very sensitive in this aspect. Thinking back to the time when I was with Feng Nu, I realized that her mannerisms were very similar to yours. Even her appearance was somewhat similar. Moreover, her eyes and nose were very similar to Godfather's. It was as if she was a fusion of you and Godfather. Didn't you notice this?"
Yu Ruyan's body trembled. She immediately fell into deep thought. Because of the appearance of the Feng people's elders that day, her mind was in a mess. She didn't observe carefully. Now that she recalled Feng Nu's appearance and thought about Nian Bing's words, the strong feeling became stronger and stronger. She suddenly turned to look at her husband, Lan Yu, and found that Lan Yu was also looking at her. The two of them looked at Nianbing. Lan Yu said, "Nian Bing, you mean …"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "It's just a bold guess. Back then, Godfather and mother didn't die under the pursuit of the Feng people. Mother said that she didn't understand why she was spared at that time. Now that I think about it, the Feng people's elders might not be heartless. After all, mother was raised by them! I think they must have treated you like a daughter. If that's the case, how could they bear to really hurt you? That's why they spared you and Godfather. Inferring from this, your daughter might not have really died back then. Even if her body was in the flames, with the Feng people's understanding of fire, they could have made some camouflage to cover the truth. Of course, this is just a guess. I still need to verify it carefully. "
Yu Ruyan's eyes revealed a layer of hazy light. Her monster body trembled slightly. "Could it be that our daughter didn't die? She didn't die. Feng Nu, Feng Nu, the daughter of Wind of Hope? Elder Feng Xu! You really didn't kill our daughter? Then didn't all the hatred in my heart go to waste? No, I have to find him and ask him clearly. " With that, she flashed out of the door. A blue figure blocked Yu Ruyan's path. Lan Yu pulled his wife into his arms. "Don't go, Ruyan. Calm down first."
Nian Bing also walked to Yu Ruyan's side and said, "Mother, Godfather is right. Calm down first. This is just a guess. Even if it's true, Feng Nu won't be in danger with the elders. There will be many opportunities in the future. You can't be too hasty. Think about it. If you interrogate Elder Feng Xu and the others like this, will they admit it? Moreover, Feng Nu doesn't know the truth. If you just go like this, she won't be able to accept it either! We have plenty of time. Let's slowly investigate. If we really find out that Feng Nu is your daughter, it won't be too late to act then. "
Lan Yu nodded. "Nian Bing is right. Moreover, with the Ottoman Empire's current situation, how can we leave? The empire has done us a favor. We have to put more effort into recruiting soldiers. The country is big, but the individual is small. We have to look at the big picture. We can't ignore the country because of our personal matters. Do you understand? "
Yu Ruyan's body was still trembling. Tears rolled down her face. She leaned into her husband's arms and said with a choked voice, "But, but when I think about our daughter being alive, my heart can't calm down. I really can't help but want to see her! Nian Bing is right. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Feng Nu is similar to you and me. However, she seems to be more like you while Chenchen is more like me. Brother Yu, I, I, … "
Lan Yu sighed and said, "If our daughter were still alive, how wonderful would that be?! However, we can't rush this matter. How about this, Nian Bing and Feng Nu have a close relationship. Moreover, he wants to travel the continent. Why don't we let him help us verify everything? If Feng Nu really has feelings for him, they will definitely meet again. As long as we test it with blood, we will know whether Feng Nu is our daughter or not. During this time, we also need to develop the Ottoman Empire. I hope we can find more time. "
Nian Bing looked at Duke Lan Yu and couldn't help but admire his rationality. He could see that the sadness and hope in Duke Lan Yu's eyes were no less than Yu Ruyan's. However, he was able to control his emotions and look at the bigger picture. Nian Bing knew he couldn't do it. "Godfather, Mother, don't worry. Your matter is my matter. I think I will definitely have a chance to meet Feng Nu again. Leave this matter to me. Although I don't know if the next time I see Feng Nu will be during the examination, I promise. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. "
Yu Ruyan had also calmed down by now. She knew that there was only a fifty percent chance that the Phoenix Maiden was their daughter. Everything was still unknown. She wiped the tears off her face and said to Nian Bing, "Child, I'll have to trouble you then. As a mother, if I can find my lost daughter, then … "She couldn't help but cry again.
Nian Bing sighed in her heart. Feng Nu, are you really Mother's daughter? I really hope you are. That way, whether you are Mother or not, it will be so happy! Sigh, at least you have a chance to find Mother. But what about me? I know where my parents are buried, but I can't go and find them. The Ice Goddess is like an insurmountable mountain in front of me.
"Mother, I want to leave tomorrow and go to the Huarong Empire to do some things. You and godfather should prepare the things for the reunion today. I will leave tomorrow morning.
Yu Ruyan was surprised. "Is it that urgent? Stay for a few more days. We've been separated from our daughter for nearly twenty years, and it's not even a few days. “
Nian Bing shook her head. "No, Mother. I do have important things to do. Moreover, I want to improve my strength. After that, I will find a way to find Feng Nu and then find a place to practice magic. On the continent, if one didn't have enough strength as a guarantee, everything would be in vain. “
Duke Bluefeather nodded. "You are right. Strength is everything. Just like the Huarong Empire, they often make small moves. But who can say anything about them? There is only one reason, and that is because they are strong enough. Whether it is an individual or a country, strength is the best deterrent. I approve of your actions. “
Yu Ruyan looked at Nian Bing with bright eyes. "Child, I know you have hatred in your heart because of what happened to your parents. Don't let it blind you. In the future, if you want to seek revenge, you must tell Mother and let me accompany you. That way, we can take care of each other, okay? “
Nian Bing nodded slowly. She knew that she could not refuse Yu Ruyan at this time. But when it came to her revenge, would it involve her mother?
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. A deep voice sounded from outside. "Captain Zi Qingjian and Knight Zi Qingmeng are here to report. “
Yu Ruyan wiped the tears from her face. "Come in." “
When the door opened, Nian Bing's familiar figure walked in. It was Zi Qingmeng and her sister. The two siblings had changed into the silver light armor of the Silver Feather Knights. Zi Qingjian's head had a white feather while Zi Qingmeng's helmet had an ordinary green feather. As soon as the two entered, they saw Nian Bing standing in the middle of the room. They couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Nian Bing, you, why are you here?" Zi Qingjian shouted excitedly and rushed in front of Nian Bing. He opened his arms and hugged her.
Yu Ruyan was a little sensitive due to the events of the past two days. With a flash of silver light, Zi Qingjian was knocked back to his original position. "Impudent, this is the Duke's residence." “
Only then did Zi Qingjian realize his own impulsiveness and hurriedly kowtowed with his sister to the duke and his wife. Nian Bing said, "Mother, they are my friends. We parted in the Fire Dragon Cave. Brother Zi Qingjian, Qingmeng, you really came to the Silver Feather Knights. "
When Zi Qingjian and Zi Qingjian heard Nian Bing call Yu Ruyan 'mother', they couldn't help but be stunned. Zi Qingjian said hesitantly, "Nian Bing, y-you're Lord Duke's?"
Bluefeather smiled. She walked up to Nian Bing and hugged his shoulder. "Yes, he is my lion. Although he is not my biological son, I still see him as my son. Are you the Zi Qingjian that Ruyan admires so much? I heard that you have the Berserk Physique. "
Zi Qingjian glanced at Nian Bing in bewilderment and said, "Yes, Duke. I have had the Berserk Physique since I was young. However, is it useful? I can't even tell friend from foe. "
Bluefeather solemnly said, "Berserk warriors are the strongest human warriors. They are also the most destructive. The weakness of berserk warriors is their mental state. Although it is difficult to solve, it is not impossible. Perhaps you have heard that this Duke is a berserk warrior. After many years of cultivation, I have learned a few things. Since Ruyan recommended you and you are Nian Bing's friend, I am willing to pass on my knowledge to you. Are you willing to learn? "
Zi Qingjian was still in a daze when Zi Qingmeng gave him a push. "Brother, hurry up and greet your master. The Duke is an expert on the level of Swordsman. "
Only then did Zi Qingjian come to his senses. His majestic body fell to his knees like a mountain of gold, and he respectfully performed the ceremony of becoming Bluefeather's disciple.
Bluefeather smiled and helped Zi Qingjian up. "From now on, you will live in the Duke's mansion as my personal bodyguard. We will talk about this again after you have some accomplishments in the Berserk Physique. As for your sister, Ruyan will teach her some martial arts and see how much she can comprehend. That will depend on your luck. Big Brother Violet Dream has already handed you over to me. I will be very strict with you. "
Zi Qingjian and Zi Qingjian were shaken and looked at Bluefeather in shock. They had concealed their identities when they joined the Silverfeather Legion. Yu Ruyan smiled. "As the upper echelons of the empire, how can we trust you if we don't even know your identities? You can rest assured. Although the Duke is on good terms with your father, the Duke is not someone to be trifled with. He will not seek personal gain because of this. If you want to stand at the top, you will have to rely on your own efforts. Headmaster Violet Dream has already decided to let the elites of the academy serve the empire. They will be led by your teachers and will arrive soon. With their help, I believe the empire will gradually grow stronger. On this point, I am very confident. Alright, you can leave first. Nian Bing, take them to Lan Xun and arrange a place for them to stay. "
After leaving the Duke's study, Zi Qingjian seemed to have forgotten the awkwardness of having his identity exposed. He said excitedly, "Brother Nian Bing, how did you run out? It's great that you can come back safely. "
Nian Bing smiled. "Big Brother Qingjian, Garamandis is not that scary. He won't harm us humans. What about you? Did you come here after leaving that day? "
Zi Qingmeng rushed to say, "When we left the Flaming Dragon Cave, Commander Carlo brought his people back. Feng Nu also left. We waited outside for a few days, but you still didn't come out. We could only follow our original plan and come here, hoping to see you again. The Duchess values us very much and took us in as part of the Silver Feather Legion. Big brother is already a small captain. So you are actually the Duke's son. I really didn't expect this! Why didn't you say anything when we said we were in the Silver Feather Legion? "
Nian Bing looked at Zi Qingmeng's bright eyes. "It's not that I didn't want to say it, but I didn't know what would happen. I just acknowledged the Duke and his wife as my parents yesterday." Then, he told Zi Qingmeng about himself and Yu Ruyan, but skipped over the matter of the Feng people.
Zi Qingmeng smiled and said, "So we misunderstood you. Nian Bing, what do you plan to do in the future? Do you want to stay here and join the Silver Feather Legion? I heard from the Duchess that the Duke also has the idea of adding magicians into the Legion. Only then can we compete with the Huarong Empire's Order of the Flaming Lion. " “
Nian Bing shook his head. "I will leave tomorrow. There are still some things I need to take care of." “
Zi Qingmeng was a little disappointed. "Why do you always have things to take care of? Is there something you can't say? From the first time I saw you, I thought you were very mysterious. “
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, don't they? That's their own domain. Alright, I will take you to Brother Lan Xun and let him arrange things for you. " “
In the past two days, the most excited person was Lan Xun. He got his beloved back and the Duke promised to marry Ruyi. Lan Xun was very happy and grateful to Nian Bing. If it wasn't for Nian Bing's guidance, he wouldn't have had the confidence to propose marriage to the Duke of Bluefeather. He wouldn't have been able to enjoy the good times he had now. After Lan Xun proved his love for her, Ruyi's lonely mood gradually changed. After going through so many things together, she especially cherished this relationship.
When Nian Bing found Lan Xun, he was talking to Ruyi about the things that happened in the Duke's mansion in the past two years. When he heard that Nian Bing wanted him to help make arrangements for Zi Qingmeng and her sister, he quickly agreed. After handing Zi Qingmeng and her sister over to Lan Xun, Nian Bing didn't stay any longer and returned to his room. Right now, he didn't care about anything else. Only increasing his strength was what he was most passionate about. Every word Garamandis said to him was engraved in his heart. After returning to his room, he immediately began to meditate. Only by seizing every moment would he be able to increase his strength.
The sun shone down on the earth, making the spring feeling even stronger. Walking on the main road outside Auland City, Nian Bing looked at the sparkling jade bottle in his hand. Early in the morning, he said goodbye to Yu Ruyan and her husband and left Auland City under the escort of Lan Xun, Zi Qingjian and his sister. The jade bottle in his hand contained Yu Ruyan's blood. This was the only thing that could prove whether or not Feng Nu was their daughter.
"Nian Bing, can you walk faster? If you dilly-dally, when will we reach the next city?" Garamandis kicked Nian Bing in dissatisfaction.
Nian Bing glared at him in annoyance and said, "You must have been born in winter. Otherwise, why do you always move your hands and feet like this? Didn't I just make you shredded chicken rice this morning? " “
Garamandis smacked his lips, an intoxicated look in his eyes. "Mm, the shredded chicken rice is indeed delicious. My taste is very high now. In the future, you have to make such exquisite food for me. Otherwise, don't think of learning anything from me." “
Nian Bing put the jade bottle into his spatial ring and said, "Garamandis, other than meditation, what do you think I should do to increase my magic level?" “
Garamandis said, "That's simple. Find the top magical gems of the other elements and train your mimicry to a completely mature level. Aren't you very experienced in fusing magic? Every magical element has its own way of countering each other. When facing different enemies, you naturally have to use different magic to deal with them. Even fusing magic is the same. Only by applying mimicry to each element can you do it. " “
