From an academic point of view, the Fire-type Forbidden Spell, Harley's Fiery Burial Curse, was not considered as a very powerful spell. Its power was not that outstanding among the Fire-type spells that were known for their lethality. The casting process was also extremely slow and most importantly, the warning signs were very obvious, making it very easy to guard against. That was why it was not that useful in a high-level duel.
However, its advantage lay in its super long casting range. As long as one could use one's Psychic Energy or other spells to detect it, just like how Baiyi used Cuckoo's vision, he could launch a super long-range attack. That was why this spell still had a certain strategic value. It was suitable to be used to hit fixed targets and those defenseless targets. Other than that, its unique visual effect was also very suitable for Baiyi to scare the Steppe Barbarians into thinking that it was a divine punishment from their War God.
"As an ancient Forbidden Spell, this spell is indeed very good." The Scholar commented in the Void, "The difficulty of casting it is not that high either. You don't need any additional materials to cast it. After your modifications, the original requirement for Mana output has been lowered as well. It's quite suitable to be used as a killer spell."
Using such a slow chanting process as a killer spell? Do you really think that your opponent is just a block of wood? Baiyi thought to himself. Once again, he had a better understanding of the actual combat ability of the group of academic sorcerers from the Door of Conundrum.
In his opinion, only a compound offensive Forbidden Spell like the Frostfire Burning Body could be considered as a killer spell. The other Voidwalkers also had their own opinions and immediately began to discuss about the practicality of the Forbidden Spell. Seeing that the conversation was going in a good direction, Baiyi did not bother with them anymore. Instead, he turned around and looked at the crowd who had been watching him casting the spell. The awe and solemnity on their faces had disappeared. Instead, they were filled with confusion.
Because the place where the spell took effect was too far away from them, they could not see it at all. So, when they saw that Baiyi had been casting the spell for a long time but nothing happened in the end, they felt that it was very strange.
"Teacher? What did you just do? "Tisdale asked curiously.
"Punish those dishonest people," Baiyi replied casually. Then, he looked at Attie and with a faint smile, he continued, "Also, remind them not to think that they can do whatever they want just because I'm gone."
Attie almost jumped up like a little bunny when she saw that.
The fact that he had chosen this spell and the target was the remnants of the Sprinting Wolf Tribe instead of their main camp was already a sign of mercy. His main purpose was to teach these barbarians a lesson, so that they would not forget the rules that they had set for themselves just because they wanted to fight for the throne. At the same time, it was also a way for Mia to vent her anger.
"Let's have a seat first," Baiyi said as he pointed at the campfire beside the tent.
Those who were still able to move quickly followed suit and sat down. The few Divine Warriors did not want to participate in such a discussion so they ran to the empty space at the side and started to wrestle with each other. Mia was still sitting softly by Baiyi's side. It seemed like she was not used to the brief separation yesterday. Attie, on the other hand, maintained her maidservant posture as she knelt behind Baiyi, deliberately keeping a certain distance from the rest.
However, even though she was keeping a distance, she was still the focus of everyone's attention. Undine, for example, had her eyes fixed on her. She did not even want to sit down. Instead, she was kneeling on the ground, looking as though she was ready to pounce at any time. It was obvious that she was very angry at the former King who had hung her for more than ten days. If it was not for the fact that Baiyi was protecting Attie, she would have already pounced on him.
"Relax, relax a little," Baiyi said to Undine. Baiyi said to Undine, She's no longer the Barbarian King anymore. She's my servant now!
After that, Baiyi told the story that he had already prepared in his mind. Carefully avoiding the view of Sven the Rogue Knight, he focused on the series of events that happened during the day. At the end of the story, he turned to Undine and explained, "That night, we were being watched by more than 100 people from multiple angles. We couldn't find any opportunity to come out and rescue you. I was afraid that if we acted rashly, they would harm you so we could only wait until the next day during the Warrior's Gala to find an opportunity to make our move. Who would have thought that you would be rescued in advance? Coincidentally, they were also having internal strife at the same time."
Undine, on the other hand, was completely confused. But when she heard that Baiyi had taught the Steppe Barbarians a harsh lesson and even snatched their beautiful King over to be his maid, she let down her guard for the time being. Sitting down, her long legs that were covered in black silk stockings were placed together on her right side. Still, she asked suspiciously, "Why would that stinky... No, I mean, the black-robed man who saved me fight with you and let you snatch the War God's Sword away, Master Hope?"
"Maybe it's because he's interested in something else that I have? Like this staff? "Baiyi said with a faint smile as he took out his Saint Quartz staff.
Undine's eyes lit up immediately. It was obvious that she had recognized the value of the staff. However, the doubt in her heart did not disappear completely. Since you already have the War God's Sword, why would you still want to snatch a Saint Quartz staff? It was obvious that it was illogical.
However, Baiyi had been with the Divine Warriors the whole time and the barbarians were watching over him. On top of that, the Soul Armature Practitioner, Mia, had been staying at the campsite all the time. With that, there was no way that he could say that he had changed his body and assumed two different identities at the same time. For that reason, she did not think too much into it. She just thought that perhaps the two of them knew each other and had some kind of connection with each other. However, due to Baiyi's identity, Undine did not want to delve deeper into it.
Well, I guess I'll have to find a chance to ask him about it when I get back … Undine thought to herself as she put aside the doubts in her heart for the time being. After all, she was not a primary school student who had been studying for a long time.
Looking at Attie who was standing behind Baiyi, Undine said, "Let's not talk about this now. Master Hope, can you let me deal with this woman? We, the Dole family, will pay you back handsomely for this. "
Attie immediately shrank back in fear. Even though she was shielding Undine from the others, she had indeed abused her for a long time. If she were to fall into her hands, she would definitely not have a good ending. Quickly, she looked at Baiyi's back with a pleading gaze.
However, Baiyi did not even turn his head around. He shook his head indifferently and said, "I can't hand her over to you." Having said that, he saw that Undine was about to say something again so he quickly waved his hand and continued, "Compared to the reward that your family can give me right now, I'm more interested in the reward that you can give me after the trade route is opened."
"Trade route?" Undine was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what Baiyi meant.
"I have a way to help you open the trade route and she's the key to it. Even so, do you still intend to ask for her? Miss Undine? "Baiyi continued to ask.
"H-How is this even possible?" Undine's face was filled with disbelief. The rest of them had a similar look on their faces as they waited for Baiyi to continue to explain. Even Attie had pricked up her ears and moved closer to Baiyi.
At first, she thought that Baiyi exiled her clan to the western grassland near the Eol Mountains as a punishment for her. After all, that place was very close to the Eol Mountains and it was right at the doorstep of the Alpine Barbarians. Further north, it was close to the Silent Jungle where all kinds of magical beasts roamed. It was the most dangerous and unsuitable land for survival. Basically, even without Baiyi's planning, the other clans would not dare to come close to the western grassland.
But if they wanted to trade, the western grassland would be the shortest shortcut. After passing through the Silent Jungle, they would arrive at the border of the Northern Kingdom. So, if a caravan from the Southern Land really passed through the territory of her clan, perhaps the clan would not have to suffer too much?
She did not know why, but she felt a sense of gratitude towards Baiyi. But she quickly shook her head and scolded herself for being naive. This must be a trick that the devil used to numb me or control my clan. I almost got fooled by him! Looks like the battle with the devil is going to be very difficult and long.
Of course, Baiyi did not know that his little handmaiden was so imaginative. He continued to explain to Undine, "We need her clan to be an important transit point on the trade route."
Having said that, he used his Mana to weave a map in the air. There were two distinct marks on the map, "The one on the west is our current location and the one on the east is the area where her clan will be located in the future. I've already used the temporary King's identity to order the other barbarians to retreat from this area. So, if we want to open up a trade route again, we only need to take this shortest route and contact one of the tribes."
"B-But … This route is not easy to walk on, right?" Undine said hesitantly. The reason why she did not choose this shortcut was mainly because there were too many carriages and horses in the caravan. It was impossible for them to cross the mountains directly from the Eol Mountains to the Western Grassland like Baiyi and the others did and they did not dare to enter the territory of the Alpine Barbarians. So, the caravan could only choose the flatter and easier route on the east side. If they entered the Grassland from that direction, they would enter the territory of the Grassland King first and that was why they had to deal with Attie.
"That's why you need to change your mode of transportation. You can't just rely on horses and people anymore. At times like this, we need new technology that keeps up with the times." Baiyi said as he dispersed the topographic map in the air. Using his Mana, he condensed something that looked like a CAD drawing of Earth.
The thing that was drawn on it was actually somewhat similar to the plane on Earth? To be more precise, it was similar to a glider. Before the Engineer came into contact with Mia, he had referred to the design of the transport plane on Earth and designed a magic glider.
