Above the mage!

Chapter 253: The Ice Sword
In most northern tribes, there is often not enough food for the tribe's own people to eat, let alone having enough food to raise small things like snow pheasants and snow rabbits simply to improve the food.

From this alone, it can be seen that the "happiness index" of the people of the Zhenbing tribe is second to none, at least on the snowfield.

Just as Gaode was looking at the buildings of the Zhenbing Tribe, the biting chill in the air was becoming heavier, and the floating ice elements were becoming more and more dense.

The next moment, a chill fell on his face along with the cold wind.

Gao De looked up and found that snowflakes were beginning to fall.

It’s snowing as expected.

Gao De stretched out his hand and watched the crystal snowflakes fall on his hand.

It is normal to snow on the snowfield.

Therefore, Roych and Catherine did not have any psychological fluctuations, but just led Gode forward on the main road of Phoenix.

The two men had a clear goal and went straight to the Elder Grant they were looking for.

As a tribal city with a population of over half a million, Phoenix has a large number of people from other tribes in addition to the Zhenbing people.

This can be said to be the most lively and popular place in the entire snowfield.

Even though Goder is currently only located at the outermost part of Phoenix, the criss-crossing streets and city scenery are not seen in other places in the North.

Although in his opinion, Phoenix's urban landscape is still too rough in terms of layout and appearance.

But being able to build a "city" on the snowfield is itself a very remarkable thing.

In addition to the extremely rich ice element in the North, Gode could also sense that as soon as he entered Phoenix, the surroundings began to be filled with pure magic.

This concentration of magic power is almost equivalent to the concentration of magic power contained in the basic training room.

That is, the magic concentration is around 10.

In Seres College, the basic training room is one of the benefits for formal students and can be used free of charge.

But such a concentration of magic power can only be found in a special magic circle.

The concentration of magic power in other places in Seres Academy cannot reach this value.

And in Phoenix, this concentration of magic can be achieved in any corner.

It can be seen that in terms of resources alone, the North is indeed no worse than the outside world.

Even from another perspective, due to the lack of development, the resource reserves in the North are actually far richer than those in the outside world.

This is true whether it is magical plants, magical materials or various spiritual places.

There is such a strong magic in the outermost parts of Phoenix.

There is no doubt that the core geographical location of Phoenix must be a high-level spiritual land, which is why the surrounding area can be so rich in magic even without rune magic circles.

A fourth-level spiritual land, or a fifth-level spiritual land?
Gao De secretly guessed the level of the spiritual land in the core area of ​​the Zhenbing Tribe.

On both sides of the main road, houses of different sizes and appearances are arranged in a staggered manner, and there are also many "shops" with curtains hung among them.

At this moment, on Gao De's right hand side, a very young boy, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing animal skins, rushed out impatiently and asked a local Zhenbing tribe member, "Uncle, where is the location of the Ice Sword challenge?"

The middle-aged Zhenbing tribe member glanced at the boy and seemed to be used to it. He pointed and said, "Go to the end of this main road and you will see a square. It's right there."

"Thank you, uncle!" The young man thanked him and left in a hurry.

"The Ice Sword Challenge has been held for more than three months. During this period, countless challengers have come to Phoenix. So many failures have not extinguished their enthusiasm. Now even a kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair wants to try his luck."

Obviously, not only Goder heard the conversation between the two. Loichi looked at the boy's disappearing back and muttered something to himself.

Goder's heart moved, and he also remembered the Ice Sword Challenge mentioned by the two Snover people when he first entered the Snover camp.

"After so long, no one has been able to pull out the Sword of True Ice?" he asked casually.

"Not to mention that it has only been more than three months, even in three years or thirty years, no one will be able to pull out the Sword of Ice." Loichi shrugged and said with certainty.

"You are a foreigner, so you may not understand. Even if you have the blood of the Iceborn, you will find it difficult to bear even a little bit of True Ice. That's not right. You should understand this very well."

At this point, Royci suddenly remembered that his forbidden ice needle was still inserted in Gode's body, and said with a little embarrassment.

Then, he quickly continued, "Such a small amount of True Ice, even with the special material attached to it to isolate the cold, is so terrifying. The True Ice Sword of the True Ice Tribe is made of pure True Ice, and its weight is 100,000 times that of the Forbidden Ice Needle."

"Under this comparison, the chill released by the True Ice Sword is not 100,000 times that of the Forbidden Ice Needle, but it is definitely not in the same league."

"Even among the True Ice Tribe, I think only Warmother Sunaifah can fully control this True Ice Sword."

Roychi shook his head. "So, this Ice Sword Challenge is just an illusion. Even if the rewards they offer are generous, it is impossible for anyone to complete this challenge."

"Any Iceborn mage with some knowledge understands these principles clearly. Only these young people have such drive." Roychi sighed.

"Maybe someone can really do it," Catherine, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly said, "The Ice Tribe went to such great lengths to come up with this Ice Sword Challenge and tried their best to spread the news throughout the North. It can't be just for some hype."

Luo Yiqi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Then he looked at Catherine and suddenly realized, "Is there any inside story?"

Catherine nodded. She knew something. "This matter is related to an ancient ritual magic of the Zhenbing tribe. They are looking for a very special person."

"However," Catherine paused and gave her own evaluation, "It has been so many years since that ritual magic. Who can guarantee anything today?"

After saying this, Catherine shook her head, saying nothing more. The streets of Phoenix were bustling with people.

The busiest road among them is the one that leads directly to the Ice Sword challenge site.

But Loic and Catherine were obviously not prepared to join in the fun.

They took Gode all the way to a small gray stone building.

"We will stay here temporarily. We are going to look for Elder Grant now. You can go in and have a rest first, or you can go around Phoenix." Loychi handed the key to God.

As expected of a high-level wizard, he even has his own property in Phoenix. Gao De took the key, looked at the gray stone building in front of him, and said secretly in his heart.

"Okay." He agreed at the same time.

After explaining this, the two men left, leaving Gao De alone.

Of course, the reason why they were so casual was not because they believed that Gao De would be obedient, but because there were still five forbidden ice needles in Gao De's body.

The forbidden ice needles made it impossible for Gaode to circulate his magic power and sealed his ability to cast spells.

The only one who can remove the forbidden ice needle is Loichi.

Both of them firmly believed that no mage could bear to lose the ability to cast spells.

Therefore, as long as the forbidden ice needle still exists in Gaode's body, they have no need to worry about Gaode running away.

Gao De also understood what the two relied on.

Although after evolving into an intermediate ice-protected body, the five forbidden ices were no longer effective against him.

In other words, the restrictions on him had actually been lifted long ago.

However, Gaode did not choose to just leave.

The reason is very simple. With Loychi's ability, he can track him in the vast snowfield. Even if he escapes now, he will be caught sooner or later, and his trump card will be exposed.

At least Gao De was not going to run away until he figured out how the two had tracked him down and how to deal with it.

Using the key left by Loichi, Gode opened the door and walked in.

The gray stone building is not large, but it has four rooms.

Gao De consciously chose the smallest room, then walked into the hut and sat cross-legged on the fire pit bed.

Then, he took out the small bottle containing two drops of third-level ice marrow from his arms.

This was one of the "compensations" that Catherine gave him in advance.

On the road, Gaode was not used.

The main thing was that he didn't know what it would be like to use such a high-level ice marrow to upgrade the Mandela Eye all at once, and whether it would take a lot of time.

In case of a special situation, it would always be inconvenient in the snowy wilderness.

Now that we have settled down temporarily, we naturally don’t have to worry about these things anymore.

Gao De took a deep breath, opened the Mandela Demon Eye, and then dripped a drop of Three Tribulations Ice Marrow into his pupil.

In an instant.

A powerful ice elemental force that cannot be described in words burst out from that drop of third-level ice marrow.

Like a surging tide, carrying with it mighty energy, it poured into the depths of his pupils.

Gao De felt as if his pupils were being washed by an ice river. It was an extremely refreshing and strange feeling.

Under such a wash, his pupils began to dilate rapidly.

After being "flushed" again and again for nearly half an hour, the ice element power contained in this drop of third-level ice marrow was finally completely consumed and completely dissipated.

God opened the Mandela Magic Eye, and his eyes became extremely clear and bright.

The vision under Mandela's Demon Eye has become clearer and the field of vision has expanded.

Compared with before, the improvement this time is obvious.

Afterwards, Gaode carefully felt the improvement progress of Mandela's Magic Eye, and couldn't help but sigh the next moment.

The third level of ice marrow is too extreme.

With just one drop, the level of his Mandorla's Magic Eye jumped directly from level 3 (72/25) to (72/).

This is an explosive improvement.

Calculated in this way, the effect of one drop of third-level ice marrow is roughly equivalent to 22 drops of first-level ice marrow.

Of course, in terms of value, it far exceeds this multiple.

Thinking of this, Gode raised his head and dripped the second drop of third-level ice marrow into his Mandela Magic Eye.
