Above the mage!

Chapter 246: Forbidden Ice Needle, continue to adapt!

"Are you here specifically to see me?" After hearing what Loychi said, many thoughts flashed through Goder's mind, but he still couldn't figure out the other party's intention.

The main thing was that he couldn't find any reason why the other party came to him specifically.

Gao De carefully recalled what he had done since entering the North Territory, and there was indeed nothing special about it.

"Yes, we came here specifically to see you."

"You ran very fast. It took us a lot of effort to find you." Loychi looked at Gode with a smile.

"I was entrusted by the guardian Baruch to travel thousands of miles from the Snover clan to your branch just to help deliver the message. I can't say that my contribution is great, but I have worked hard. As a result, people in your branch harbored ill will towards me." Seeing that Loychi came with ill intentions, Gode began to defend himself.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, I didn't do anything out of line. I just wisely ran away as soon as possible. Why would you send hunters to track me for thousands of miles?"

Gaode is both an accusation and a search for answers to doubts.

He felt somewhat puzzled about this matter from beginning to end.

According to what Baruch had told him about the Snowfield Guardians, if not a lawful good organization, then at least a neutral good one. So why would they do such a thing as "repaying kindness with enmity" to him?
"At the request of Baruch." At this time, the masked hunter behind Gode spoke. To Gode's surprise, it was a female voice.

"According to the news received by the sect, Baruch has most likely abandoned the doctrine and slaughtered the northern tribes on the snowy plains for his own selfish desires. We can't find Baruch's trace for the time being, so we naturally have to find you, a foreigner who claims to be entrusted by Baruch, first."

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted, "How is it possible?"

"Baruch abandoned his teachings and massacred the tribes in the north? Not long ago, he nearly died in an attempt to rescue the Snowfor clan from being besieged by a tide of snow wolves. How could he abandon his teachings?"

"There are others who have abandoned the teachings. Baruk discovered that there is someone behind the beast tide, and it is most likely from within the Snowfield Guardians."

"It's just that Baruch was seriously injured while rescuing the Snover clan and couldn't move, so he asked me to help deliver the message."

Gao De cut to the chase and quickly explained: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the Snover clan to ask about the situation."

"Snowf clan?" Catherine, who was wearing a bronze mask, laughed. Her eyes were very cold under the mask. "Where is the Snover clan now?"

Gao De was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Catherine shouted coldly, "The Snover clan had already been submerged by the tide of snow wolves. When we arrived, the huge tribe had already become a ruin, with bones all over the ground, and no one survived."

When Gao De heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

How could he not react at this point? It must be that the mastermind behind the scenes once again drove the beast tide to attack the Snover clan after he left and silenced them.

Baruk, who was almost unable to move, had a 99% chance of dying in the second beast tide attack.

More importantly, the mastermind who possesses this ability is obviously a very powerful figure among the guardians of the snowfield.

The so-called news of "Baruch's betrayal of doctrine" must have been deliberately released by the mastermind behind the scenes to frame Baruch.

What should we do now?
Explain the specific situation?

How to explain empty words without evidence?
If Baruch really died in the beast tide, there would be no evidence, and this is a high probability event.

The mastermind behind this is a big shot among the Snowfield Guardians, and he is powerless. How can a foreigner like him prove his innocence and protect himself? Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
run?
There is no way to run. The opponent is a hunter among the Snowfield Guardians, and he is at least a second-ring mage. If you run, you might suffer a heavy loss.

Various thoughts flashed through Gao De's mind quickly, and finally he found that he was trapped in an unsolvable situation.

He never expected that a simple message delivery mission would bring him so much trouble.

"You'd better come with us obediently." Catherine, wearing a bronze mask, said coldly.

At this moment, Gao De really felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

"Don't worry. Our motto as Snowfield Guardians is to protect the Snowfield. We never kill innocent people, and we will never convict Guardians easily."

"If it is finally discovered that Guardian Baruk is innocent, we will definitely not make things difficult for you anymore." Naroyiqi even kindly comforted God.

But Gaode obviously didn't dare to have such expectations.

Even Baruk could be eliminated as the mastermind behind this. As a first-ring mage, he was on someone else's territory, so it would be even easier for him to be controlled.

"No need to waste so much time talking to him. We didn't take direct action, which is already giving him face." Compared to Roych, Catherine was much more indifferent.

"I understand." Of the two, Catherine's status was obviously higher, so when Loyi heard this, he just shrugged his shoulders and replied, then slowly walked forward to approach Gode.

"You'd better not think too much about it. If you force me to take action, I may not be able to control the severity."

Godard watched Loichi approaching, and finally gritted his teeth, quickly cast a [Skating Technique] on himself, and ran away.

Although the fact that Loic and Catherine were able to track him down in the vast snowfield was enough to prove their strength, it was not Gaode's style to surrender without even trying.

What if the other party was just bluffing?

Without knowing the exact level of the opponent's wizard, everything is possible.

But just as Goder took two steps, Catherine snorted coldly.

Then, Gao De felt that his mind was hit violently, as if an invisible force suddenly crashed into the depths of his brain.

In an instant, his thoughts became confused and everything in front of him became blurry.

Then, a strong feeling of numbness swept through the whole body, spreading from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Gao De's steps came to an abrupt halt, and he froze in place, as if he had been injected with an anesthetic needle.

2nd level enchantment spell, [Immobilize Human]!
Gaode had been controlled by this powerful magical force, and even blinking had become difficult for him. Only his mind was still functioning, and he realized what had happened to him.

This time he no longer had any hope of success.

The other party is indeed a genuine mage above the second ring.

Roychi walked slowly towards God, shook his head and said, "Why bother? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Gao De was unable to move, and he knew in his heart that he really had no room for resistance this time, and could only do as the other party wished.

After speaking, Loichi took out an exquisite ice crystal bottle from his pocket.

As soon as the ice crystal bottle was opened, a chill hit me in the face.

Gao De took a glance and found that the bottle was filled with many tiny ice needles.

These ice needles are as big as hairs, and there are about twenty of them.

"Looking at the strength of this guy's mental power, he is just a first-level mage who has just been promoted." Catherine and Loichi, who had just cast [Human Immobilization] to control him, said lightly. [Human Immobilization] is an enchantment spell, which is essentially a mental attack and is only effective against beings with mental strength weaker than the caster.

During this mental confrontation, Catherine, as the caster, can also sense the strength of the opponent's mental power.

Of course, the prerequisite is that your mental strength must be weaker than hers.

This is like arm wrestling. The winner naturally knows the specific strength of the loser.

But the loser has no way of knowing how powerful the winner is, he only knows that the winner is stronger than himself.

"You have just been promoted to a first-level wizard. Five should be enough." After hearing what Catherine said, Roychi nodded.

Then he took out five crystal clear ice needles as thin as hair from the ice crystal bottle.

Then, under Gao De's gaze, Loic's technique was like that of a skilled old Chinese doctor. He turned his wrist slightly and, with an extremely elegant posture, like acupuncture, he gently inserted the five ice needles one by one into the vital points of Gao De's body.

Every insertion of the ice needle was accompanied by a slight tremor in Gaode's body, but he tried to remain calm.

"What is this?" At this time, the effect of [Human Immobilization Spell] had worn off, and Gao De, who had regained consciousness, had a slightly changed expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Forbidden Ice Needle. Even though it is as thin as a hair, its main material is pure ice." Loychi introduced it to Gaode in his spare time.

"Zhen Bing?!!" Gao De was shocked. Even a stranger like him who had just arrived in the northern border had heard of Zhen Bing's reputation.

"Yes, the reason why they are called forbidden ice needles is because I use a special method to insert them into your magic path, and only I can take them out of your body."

Roych explained: "We have attached a layer of special material to the surface of the ice needle to isolate the cold. Normally, this forbidden ice needle will not have any effect on your body."

"But as soon as you want to use your mana to cast a spell, the mana will inevitably touch these ice needles during the flow of the spell, and then the forbidden ice needles will be activated to release the coldness of the icy cold."

Roychi's eyes became sharp. "The coldness of the True Ice is the coldest in the world. Even the Iceborn cannot bear it, let alone a foreigner like you."

"Even just a little bit of Zhenbing is enough to make you feel the excruciating pain."

"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Loichi grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Gao De felt a chill in his heart, and his expression became extremely ugly.

He tried to mobilize the magic power in his body, trying to verify whether what Loic said was true or just bluffing.

The next moment, his magic power touched some indescribable foreign object.

Then, an extreme chill that was hard to describe in words burst out from his body.

This chill was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart and penetrating into his bones. In addition to the cold, it also brought Gaode immense pain.

In just a moment, Gao De was already gasping for breath, his face turned pale as paper, and big drops of cold sweat were flowing down his forehead.

Seeing is believing; seeing a hundred is believing.

I have always heard that the coldness of Zhenbing is unmatched in the world, but only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrifying it is.

Even if Gaode has a primary ice-protected body, it is useless in the face of such coldness.

Seeing Goder's expression, Loychi raised a playful smile: "Do you believe it now?"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. It's fine if you try it once, but if you do it a few more times, the coldness of Zhenbing will cause great harm to your body."

"But you are also a man. Most people would be in so much pain when they first feel the freezing cold that they can't even stand. But you didn't even make a sound." He even had the mind to praise Gao De.

Of course, Roych didn't know that this was because of Goder's experience in prison, which made him adapt to a very high ability to endure pain.

"We usually only use this thing on really troublesome people. Using it on a first-ring mage like you is a sign of respect for you." On the other side, Catherine snorted coldly as she watched Gode's complexion gradually return to normal.

With the forbidden ice needle, Gaode is just like an ordinary person and cannot cast any spells.

Naturally, the two of them no longer had to worry about Gao De playing any tricks again.

"It's really an honor." Goder suddenly calmed down and responded calmly to Catherine's undisguised "sarcasm".

This reaction made the two of them look sideways.

Most mages collapse when they find themselves unable to use their magic power.

For extraordinary people, losing their extraordinary powers is often more difficult to accept than losing their lives.

It is very rare for someone like Gaode to regain his composure so quickly.

In fact, what the two of them didn't know was that at this moment, Gao De had not only regained his calm, but even became a little happy.

Because just when the forbidden ice needle was triggered, along with the cold of the icy cold, there was also some natural information:
[Withstand the cold of the icy cold, your cold resistance increases by 100.3%].

Information from the skill [Adaptive].

His cold resistance had already stopped improving and was fixed at 100.1%. At the moment when he triggered the forbidden ice needle, it suddenly jumped up by 0.2% to 100.3%.

And this is just a momentary improvement.

In addition, the [Adaptive] triggered by the Forbidden Ice Needle is more than that:

[Endure the pain of extreme cold, and increase the ability to withstand pain by 67.5%].

[You are suffering from extreme cold damage, and your body's injury recovery ability increases by 1.1%].

One forbidden ice needle triggered three [Adaptive] improvements, including the cold resistance of the evolved primary ice-protected body.

Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know it is not a blessing?
This forbidden ice needle, on the surface, is a restriction on him, a pair of shackles, but in fact it can also be seen as a "cheat" for quickly gaining experience.

With [Adaptation], he can completely improve his cold resistance by continuously and actively triggering the forbidden ice needles.

And when his cold resistance reaches a certain level, the freezing cold will be nothing to him, like a tickle.

The so-called forbidden method will naturally collapse on its own and lose its meaning.

This feeling of freedom being within reach relieved Gao De's originally depressed mood a lot.

However, the only crisis that can be resolved is the crisis from the "Forbidden Ice Needle". Gaode currently has no idea how to get rid of this blame.
