Above the mage!

Chapter 441: Visiting and Questioning
From the information he had heard before, it was clear that the new king had limited strength, so how come he became a three-ring wizard in the blink of an eye? Milo was filled with shock.

Naturally, he immediately connected this strange thing with the Zhenbing bloodline that Gaode had awakened not long ago.

But even after Sunaifah awakened his True Ice Bloodline, it took him more than a year to reach the third ring. How could the new king reach that level in such a short time?
This is so unreasonable.

Unless the new king's awakened True Ice Bloodline is even more powerful than Sunaifa's? !

How is this possible? Sunaifa is already a pure-blooded Iceborn. In theory, he has the strongest bloodline of the Iceborn. How can he be even more powerful?
No, it seems possible that the new king is the hope for the revival of the North as predicted, and he will definitely do many things that are beyond common sense.

Before the new king came, could I imagine that food would one day be grown in the North?

Of course not, so it is wrong to use common sense to predict the new king. Various thoughts flashed through Milo's mind in an instant.

After going through this in his mind, he had "figured" everything out. At the same time, his evaluation of Gode was already far higher than that of the War Mother Sunaifah.

The King in the North is the number one person in the North.

Not now, but definitely in the future!

When facing such a character, let alone the mages of the same level, even if Gaode is only a second-level mage, he might be able to kill him!

Sunaifa can kill a fifth-ring player with a fourth-ring player, let alone Gaode!

No, no, I must not take action. If I do, I will be courting death.

It is clear that Phoenix is ​​getting better and better, and there is more hope for the future. I can't make the same mistake again. There is still a possibility of saving everything.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Milo's mind, and he made an extremely wise decision in an instant.

He stopped and hid himself in the snow, allowing Gaode to continue flying higher and then farther away.

Milo waited quietly for nearly ten minutes until Godel completely disappeared from his sight before he jumped out of the snow.

Looking at the empty clear sky, he was stunned for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, Milo gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He set out once more, continuing along the road to Valar Bay.

Of course, this time Milo’s purpose was no longer to follow Gode.

Humans have a natural fear of heights, but they always yearn for the sky.

By the time Gaode was in Auckland, he had already overcome his fear of flying, and now all he does is enjoy it.

As the spirit of the wind element, Boeing's control over airflow is an innate talent that cannot be matched by humans no matter how much they practice.

After being possessed, although Gaode could not completely inherit Boeing's air control ability, even if he only learned a little bit, he was able to do it like a fish in water.

Flying is actually a science, similar to swimming, and it requires skills.

Because there are all kinds of chaotic and invisible air currents in the air, they have different forms, different forces, and various important parameters, such as horizontal wind speed gradient, vertical rising air flow strength, etc.

Normal humans are simply unable to analyze these airflow parameters in an instant, so when flying, they often rely more on experience and muscle memory.

When the levels of mages are similar, the degree of control and use of air currents will often lead to great differences in the flying speeds of mages.

The initial flight speed that [Flying Technique] can provide is between 60-80 kilometers.

For a wizard who has just mastered the art of flying, his average cruising speed is often barely around 50 kilometers per hour.

Under the same conditions, a wizard who is skilled in flying can maintain a stable average cruising speed of over 70 kilometers per hour, and can even occasionally break the speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour with the help of good weather.

In addition, maintaining [Flying] consumes a lot of mana.

Superb flying skills can reduce the confrontation between the mage and the air currents, thus greatly reducing the mage's mana consumption.

Therefore, due to the above factors, although [Flying] is only a third-level spell, it has extended into a complex subject: flying.

Mastering the art of flying is just the beginning. If one really wants to master flying and learn how to control and utilize various air currents in the air, it will take at least ten years of hard work to barely get through the novice stage.

Even though it consumes so much energy and time, flying is a skill that every high-level mage must practice and master.

Because this is a basic skill for high-level mages.

If I can do it and you can't, then you will be beaten.

In the Sea Sentinel's library, there are many flying skills summarized by mages, which can be studied and learned by third-ring mages.

But unlike humans, Boeing has an innate ability to perceive.

No analysis or experience is needed. It naturally understands how to respond to and utilize the current airflow. For it, this is as easy as eating and drinking.

No practice or analysis is needed, just go with your feeling.

This feeling of freedom allowed Gaode to easily raise his altitude to over 2,000 meters, which is beyond the reach of ordinary mages.

The air becomes thinner as you gain altitude.

In addition, the temperature at high altitudes will drop significantly, affecting mobility.

Also, the higher the altitude, the more complex and intense the airflow is usually, and strong winds and turbulence may occur, increasing the difficulty and instability of flight.

But for Gaode, these problems are not problems. [Adaptation] has already enabled him to have oxygen absorption capacity and cold resistance far beyond that of ordinary people. Boeing's possession also makes him not afraid of the chaos of airflow.

He could clearly feel that as long as he wanted, he could continue to fly higher without any challenges or dangers.

However, the rapid consumption of mana in his body still made Gaode restrain himself a little.

Even if you use Boeing's [Possession] ability to fly instead of casting the third-level spell [Flying], controlling the airflow still consumes a lot of your own mana.

After all, he is only a second-ring early stage mage, and his magic power is limited.

Besides, he is not afraid of extreme natural environments.

But it is well known that the more extreme the environment, the stronger the organisms.

If you accidentally run into a three- or four-ring earth vein creature, you'll be in trouble.

no Zuo no Die.

After the fun, Gaode wisely controlled the altitude to about 1,500 meters from the ground, selected the direction of Phoenix, and flew away quickly.

However, he only flew a short distance before he landed obediently and summoned his spirit mount again.

At least with his current magical power, it is not enough to use flying as a "daily commute". But there is still hope. Now that he has obtained the second-ring expertise of [Zhenbing Bloodline] and has also studied the "Zhenbing Secrets", when the progress of the practice of "Zhenbing Secrets" is improved, Gao De will have twice the magical power of a mage of the same level.

This is the greatest benefit of practicing both spiritual practice and magic. As long as you are not afraid of delaying the improvement of your own mage level, you will be able to possess combat power far exceeding that of mages of the same level.

"My king." Sunaifa had only been back in Phoenix for a short while when he knocked on the door and came in.

Rarely, Sunaifa's expression was extremely cold and solemn.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" As the "golden partner", Gao De immediately put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and said seriously.

"Yeah." She waved her hand, and Catherine, the deputy chief of the Sheriff's Bureau, dragged the middle-aged man into the room like a chicken.

"Who is he?" Goder frowned.

"You confess yourself." Catherine pushed hard, and the middle-aged man staggered and fell in front of Goder's desk, his knees hitting the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

The man immediately knelt on his knees, touched his head to the ground, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "My king, I was confused and I am guilty."

"Tell me what happened in detail." Gao De ignored the other party's "true feelings" and "shame", tapped the back of the chair with his fingertips, and looked at the man.

The man was also very sensible. He swallowed, raised his head, and immediately told the whole story.

In fact, it is not complicated. It is a story about a tribal orphan who was bribed by the Hammer of Winter, and relied on the resources given by the Hammer of Winter to rise steadily in the True Ice Tribe, while betraying the interests of the True Ice Tribe.

This plot is so classic that it is not surprising at all.

"I have done too many wrong things over the years. Although I regret it, I have gone too far and cannot turn back."

"But with your coming, the Zhenbing tribe has been getting better and better, and I have been regretting more and more what I have done over the years. I don't know how many sleepless nights I have had because of this. I have always wanted to confess to you everything I have done and atone for my mistakes, but my inner cowardice has made me choose to escape again and again."

"Until this time, a year later, the Hammer of Winter came to me again, and this time their target was you!

They know from their intelligence that you often leave Phoenix alone to go to Valar Bay, and they want to take advantage of this loophole and ask me to attack you on your way to Valar Bay.
No matter how foolish I am, no matter how many mistakes I have made over the years, I am still a member of the Zhenbing tribe after all. How could I possibly do anything to you!"

"I pretended to agree on the surface, and then took the opportunity to lure out the other people that Hammer of Winter had planted in Phoenix, captured them directly, and then came forward to confess my guilt!"

"I know this is not enough to make up for my mistakes, but this is the only thing I can do. I beg you to give me a chance to atone for my sins. I am willing to die on the front line."

After saying this, Milo lowered his head heavily and never raised it again.

After listening to what Milo said, Godd narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Catherine with a questioning look in his eyes.

Catherine nodded slightly, "Milo did capture two spies from the Hammer of Winter, and brought them to the Sheriff's Office to surrender."

"So." Gao De's eyes wandered and he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Sunaifa, and asked softly: "What do you think?"

Sunaifa's face was expressionless, but his words revealed his murderous intent: "Those who disobey fate shall die."

Gao De was slightly surprised, and sensed Sunaifa's decision and determination. "Now is the time for development. It is not particularly appropriate to take the initiative to provoke a war."

"My king, you are right. The way to unify the North should not be by force, but..."

"The current situation has nothing to do with unification. I can allow them to question the prophecy of War Mother Oretia, but I will never allow them to overstep their authority on you, let alone want to hurt you!"

Gao De thought about it and finally nodded. "Since it's like this, let's do as you wish and send out the Hammer of Winter. This is indeed a very good and fair reason. They were the first to make the move, so it's no wonder that we counterattacked. We are upright."

"No." Facing what Gao De said, Sunaifa shook his head seriously, "My king, this is not the reason."

"You are the King of True Ice. The Hammer of Winter has offended you. We, the True Ice Tribe, will kill these people who defy fate for you. It has nothing to do with unification."

Goder's eyes met Sunaifah's icy blue eyes.

The determination and seriousness expressed in it are beyond doubt.

Only then did Gao De realize that he had underestimated Sunaifa's respect for him and his position in Sunaifa's heart.

When encountering such things, as a party involved and victim, he did not have too many emotions because he did not suffer any substantial harm or threat.

His first thought was to use this opportunity to launch the Hammer of Winter, to start this war with a legitimate reason and to maximize his benefits.

As a bystander, Sunaifa's first reaction was anger, which should be the result of the person involved.

She never thought of taking advantage of the situation to gain the greatest benefit. She just wanted to make an example of someone and give the most severe punishment to those who disobeyed Gaode.

"Besides, I am not going to send out the Hammer of Winter. As you said, even if our True Ice is much stronger than the Hammer of Winter, as long as we start a war, heavy casualties are inevitable. In this case..."

Sunaifa lowered his eyelids and regained his composure, "I will go alone to ask for an explanation from the Hammer of Winter on your behalf."

"Alone?!" Gao De sat up straight immediately.

He knew Sunaifah's strength and he didn't question her, but it was still a big tribe after all.
"That's enough." Sunaifa didn't explain much.

Gao De looked at Sunaifa deeply and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

He knew that if he insisted on stopping her, Sunaifa would still listen to him.

But he didn't stop it.

Just as Sunaifa trusted him unconditionally, he also gave the same unconditional trust to Sunaifa.

"Wait for me to come back." Sunaifa didn't waste any more words. After saying this, he turned around and left.

In the office, Godard glanced at Milo who was still kneeling on the ground, waved his hand, and said to Catherine: "Take him away first, and decide what to do with him when Sunaifa comes back."

After Catherine took Milo away, Godd had no intention of continuing his work on the draft.

Now that the incident has already happened, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it and talk about it.

He was thinking whether he could use this incident, if not to take down the Hammer of Winter, at least to cut a piece of meat from the Hammer of Winter, so as to speed up the unification of the North.

However, all this still depends on the effectiveness of Sunaifa's "questioning" trip.

It's safe. When Gao De thought of this, he felt that he could start thinking about how to make a big deal out of it.

Compared to his own "cheating" and "cheating", Sunaifa is a natural ruler, both in terms of talent and the way he handles things.

Since she has taken action, it must be possible.
