Above the mage!

Chapter 434: Ice Bloodline

Gradually, the chanting that echoed in the ears of all the Iceborn faded away.

They also woke up from their subconscious state of following the humming.

But the feeling of awe that just came from the depths of their blood will still remain in their minds for a long time.

Although this vision has disappeared, the subsequent impact it brings will surely continue for some time.

Winter's Hammer tribe.

All the tribal elders and the current war mother gathered together to discuss the unusual incident.

"What just happened? Did you hear it?"

"It was a carol. Did you hear it, too?"

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know, but isn't the last verse of the ballad the content of the hymn passed down by the War Mother Oretia after the ritual magic?"

"What we just heard should be the complete hymn?"

"Is this some kind of spell?"

"Definitely not," the tribe's great elder affirmed, "This sound comes from deep in our blood."

"Such an exaggerated and incredible movement must have caused something big to happen."

"War Mother, what do you think?"

The current Warmother of the Hammer of Winter, Arna, sat on the main throne and remained silent until the Great Elder pointed her out. Then she slowly spoke:

"This hymn was left by Warm Mother Oretia. It indicates the hope of the Iceborn tribe's revival. It is also the new king supported by the True Ice tribe."

"So, it should be related to the new king."

This is actually what most people on the field think.

But he was the new king of the True Ice Tribe after all. The Hammer of Winter did not recognize him and he was nominally an enemy, so no one dared to mention it at the moment, except the War Mother herself.

As Mother Zhan spoke, the others gradually gained courage.

"What did the new king do? As far as I know, the new king is a very young outsider and his own strength is not very strong."

This is also one of the main reasons why they have not recognized the new king.

They do not have the devout faith of the Zhenbing tribe, and are only half-believing and half-doubting the prophecy.

If the king in the prophecy was a fifth-ring or even sixth-ring ice wizard, perhaps they would still recognize him.

But it was impossible for them to recognize a foreigner who was a very low-level wizard as their king and surrender to him.

Even most people believed that this was just a trick of the Zhenbing tribe, supporting a puppet as a prophet to control the North.

However, with the huge changes that have been visible to the naked eye in Phoenix over the past year, most people have begun to waver in their hearts, and many small tribes have even determined that the King of the North has already arrived.

Fortunately, they are a large tribe, their members are still firm, and the people's support is still there.

But now, the emergence of such a strange phenomenon has caused the faith of the elders present, who are supposed to be the most staunch conservatives, to begin to waver.

"We are all at least three-ring mages. He is so far away from us, how can he still affect us uncontrollably and make us sing hymns along with him?"

"Could it be that the hope for the revival of the North mentioned in this prophecy is really this new king?"

The elders of the Hammer of Winter were all guessing and wondering.

"If that's true, should we also recognize him as king?
According to the prophecy, he is the hope for the revival of the Iceborn tribe.

Although we, the Hammer of Winter, are not of the same tribe as the True Ice Tribe, we are still part of the Iceborn Tribe no matter what."

One of the elders, who was inclined to follow the prophecy, couldn't help but mutter, "The new king is coming. If we don't believe and follow him in time..."

Faced with the elder's somewhat excessive words, Mother Yaerna took a deep look at him, but did not scold or get angry. She just had a thoughtful look on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Phoenix.

The Iceborn mages of the Zhenbing tribe came back to their senses from their trance. Like the Iceborn mages of other tribes, they were all confused, with all kinds of speculations in their minds.

For a while, there was some chaos inside Phoenix.

But soon, the chaos subsided.

First, the elders of the original Zhenbing tribe received the news: "Don't panic, the vision comes from our king. Our king has awakened the Zhenbing bloodline today. Notify the tribe members as soon as possible and calm everyone down."

The true ice bloodline refers to the pure-blooded Ice Descendants.

Before today, Sunaifah was the only pure-blooded Iceborn in the entire northern territory, so one of her many titles is: "The last pure-blooded Iceborn of the modern era."

After today, this title will disappear into dust.

The elders who received the news were shocked, and quickly passed the news down layer by layer.

Soon, all the ice mages in the city received the news.

The Iceborn tribe in Phoenix, even if they are not members of the True Ice tribe, are a small tribe that joined Phoenix and have long supported Goder as the King of the North.

The more powerful Gaode is, the better their lives will be.

Compared to other tribes in the North who had different thoughts, they were only excited, excited and proud about such news.

"It turns out that our king has awakened his True Ice Bloodline!"

"I said that the King of the North would have nothing to do with the Iceborn, and it turns out to be true!"

"Great!"

"..."

Under the ice jade phoenix tree.

All the silvery light disappeared.

Gaode returned to normal, and compared to before, there was no change in appearance.

The blood vessels that appeared on the surface of the body are no longer visible and disappear again under the skin.

But Sunaifa knew that extremely significant changes had taken place in Gode's heart.

The power of true ice is now contained in Gaode's body.

Although this true ice power is still very weak, it is pure and flawless, just like the true ice power she possesses.

Before Gao De, she was the only one in the entire northern territory who possessed this kind of icy power.

Now there is one more Gaode.

"The King in the North." Although she found this scene surprising, Sunaifa was not surprised at all.

It’s no wonder that the prophesied King of the North controls the power of true ice.
Gao De hasn't opened his eyes yet.

Because countless pieces of information were flooding into his mind like a tide.

"The Secret of Zhenbing".

The first thing that emerged in Gao De's mind was a method of cultivation.

A method of cultivation that all Iceborn mages will obtain when they awaken their Iceborn bloodline.

[Secret of Ice] (rare practice method): Practicing this method can improve the magician's spell performance in the areas of frost, protection, control, and perception.

Can greatly increase the power of ice spells;

Can greatly increase the mage's resistance to ice and water elements;
It can greatly enhance the mage's mental toughness and willpower.

In addition, depending on your own wizard level, you can gradually gain abilities such as "Ice Condensation", "Ice Seed", "Water Melting into Ice", "Frost Walker", "Eternal Frozen Field", "Treading on Snow without Trace", and "Cold Healing Body".

To practice this method, one must have the blood of the Ice Clan. The stronger the blood of the Ice Clan, the faster the practice of this method.

This method of practice allows the mage to refine the power of ice elements into his own mana. In an environment with abundant ice elements or using ice element items, the speed of practice can be significantly increased. Gao De also has a certain degree of understanding of [Zhenbing Secret].

For example, the ability to "freeze ice" was introduced to him by Chief Ximo.

In fact, it is a method used by Ice Mage to enhance his own Ice Bloodline through Ice Marrow, thereby quickly improving his own mage level.

This is an extremely important ability for the Ice Mage, and is also one of the cornerstones of the Ice Mage bloodline system.

As for deeper things, he was not very clear.

After all, in his opinion, although he was supported as the King of the North, his practice system was completely different from that of the people in the North.

All I can say is that everything is possible in life.

As Gao De's thoughts drifted, a new wave of knowledge came like a tide.

First of all, it was the ancient Ace language, which was the language of the hymn that Gode had just heard.

Next is the method of ice extraction, which is to use one's own ice blood to harmonize one's own magic power and condense ice marrow.

Next comes the knowledge about ancient Ice Clan civilization, including their social structure, cultural customs, religious beliefs, etc., as well as various legends related to the ice element.

In addition, there is geographical knowledge of extremely cold regions, including the formation causes and characteristics of glaciers, ice fields, snow-capped mountains and other terrains, how to travel safely in glacier cracks, and understanding the wind direction patterns on ice fields.
The ecology and geography of the subglacial world, including subglacial rivers, lakes, and caves
Knowledge of ice sheet life and ecology, including the habits and characteristics of various organisms living in ice sheets and cold regions
The last part is about understanding and using ice magic.

This knowledge is extremely complex and numerous. If Gao De were to read and study it by himself, it would take a long time to master it.

But at this moment, the knowledge was poured directly into his brain like an initiation, making it impossible for him to forget it even if he wanted to.

Although there is a lot of knowledge, the time for "initiation" is very short.

In a flash, everything was done.

The gifts of blood inheritance are more than these.

Gaode can also directly awaken and control spells through the power of his bloodline.

A ray of silver light containing a chill surged out from his blood and rushed straight into Gaode's magical sea of ​​stars.

As soon as it entered the magic star sea, the silver light was like a skilled worker, quickly pulling eight zero-ring magic stars, threading the needle, adding bricks and tiles, and constructing a magic model in the blink of an eye.

[Frost Touch] (Necromancy, 0th level):

You summon a ghostly bone hand at the location of a creature within range, which attacks the target with the biting chill of the tomb and makes a ranged spell attack against the creature.

On a hit, the palm grabs the target and causes it to suffer necrotic damage and be unable to recover for a period of time.

This spell has a negative effect on undead creatures.

After constructing the spell model of [Frost Touch], the silver light "wandered" in Gaode's magic sea of ​​​​stars for another circle and then quietly dissipated.

"Gone?"

The Iceborn bloodline can only awaken one magic trick?
Gao De was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted.

This is because he has so many tricks at his disposal.

Among the tricks that can be passed down by the Iceborn bloodline, only [Frost Touch] is something he has not yet mastered, so this situation has occurred.

The bloodline inherited spells may seem useless at the moment, but the essence is that he has already mastered a large number of cantrips and first-level spells on his own.

When he practices [Secret of Zhenbing] to the second level or above, this ability will be extremely practical and superior.

——After upgrading his level, a normal mage needs to spend a lot of time, energy and money to learn and master high-level spells.

He can get it for free, the superiority of which is self-evident.

Apart from anything else, the money saved alone is a very considerable figure.

In addition to these two things, Gaode's body was also quietly changing.

One is that his resistance to cold damage and adaptability to extremely cold environments have been greatly improved. After [Adaptation], his cold resistance has been increased to 268%, and now it has skyrocketed to 295%.

Another point is that his ability to sense temperature has also been greatly improved. He can keenly sense the cold breath and temperature changes in the surrounding environment, and use this to judge the enemy's position and actions.

Roughly speaking, it is thermal imaging.

In addition, the limbs are also strengthened to a certain extent, becoming more resilient and powerful.

Of course, this improvement is not as exaggerated as turning him into "Captain America". At most, it increases his strength by 30% to 40%.

At this point, the gift from the Iceborn bloodline came to a temporary end.

But Gao De still didn't open his eyes.

With a thought, he began to activate the [Secret of Zhenbing] and tried to draw the surrounding magic power.

With Gaode's current mental strength comparable to that of a mid-level second-ring mage, if he could "hang" [Zhenbing Secret], it would be equivalent to an expert leading a newbie to clear a map, so the efficiency is naturally needless to say.

In just a short while, some extremely light silver-blue mist-like magic power appeared next to the octahedral diamond-shaped jade crystal core that Gaode had just condensed.

This is the magical power obtained from practicing the [Zhenbing Secret].

After confirming that he could indeed practice the [Zhenbing Secret], Gao De finally opened his eyes.

He looked at his palms, which were still slightly pale and cool.

Some information has already been conveyed to his mind.

【Zhenbing Bloodline】.

That’s his second-ring specialty.

[Ice Bloodline]: After being washed by Anivia's blood, you gain the pure bloodline of the Iceborn. You have the power to control and master the ice.

You will gradually gain the knowledge inheritance of the Iceborn and awaken the ancient icy spells.

A specialty that allowed Goder to obtain the purest Iceborn bloodline.

This is more than a "golden" expertise, it's worthy of diamond!

Putting aside the True Ice Power and Ancient True Ice Spells for now, just one point is enough to make [True Ice Bloodline] rank among the super specialties:
Iceborn mages also seem to have to practice cultivation techniques, but in fact, most of the improvements in their mage level come from their own bloodline power.

For example, Sunaifa, after being promoted to the first ring and completely awakening his Iceborn bloodline, grew from a first-ring mage to a fourth-ring mage in just two years.

Does it depend on hard practice?

of course not.

This is the domineering and powerful aspect of the inheritance of bloodline power.

And he is also of pure-blooded Iceborn bloodline.

This means that as long as Gao De practices the [Secret of True Ice] to a certain level and fully awakens his pure-blooded Iceborn bloodline, he will be able to ascend to the fourth ring in two years, just like Sunaifa.

One specialty guarantees admission to the fourth ring!
What more bikes do you want?

As a result, there was not only a bicycle, but also Pina. Can you believe it?

Gao De calmed down his excitement, concentrated his mind, and entered a focused state. He used the ability of [Precise Perception] to "scan" his current state:
Mage level: Second ring early stage [Qingmu Changsheng Sutra] / third level mage apprentice [Zhenbing Secret]

Life span: 16/415
Mental Power: 233
Mana: Wood Magic Crystal (60 patterns)/Ice Mist Mana (a trick)
Feats: [Adaptive] (1st level), [Ice Bloodline] (2nd level)

Body Dimension Evolution: [Intermediate Ice Body], [Dharma Ninja Body], [Primary Amber Body]

additional:

【Mandora's Eye】Level 1 (72/): Farsightedness, Insight, Delusion Breaking

[Storm Soul] (Phase 1): Controlling Air, Transforming Wind, Possession

[Elemental Flesh] (Fire Element): Immune to fire elemental cantrip damage (cast without upgrading the level). First-level fire elemental spell resistance increased by 50%, and second-level fire elemental spell resistance increased by 20%.

[Nature's Art] (Aura of the first ring of the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra): Consumes mana to speed up the growth of catalytic plants. The higher the level of the plant, the more mana is required to catalyze its growth.
[Nature's Language] (Aoki Changshengjing Second Ring Ability): Communicate with plants in a simple way.
