Chapter 1154: The Miracle From the North (Ⅱ)
Slude returned to Elk Town with a look of disappointment on his face.
This meeting between her and the "White Prince" Vignier failed to alleviate the crisis in Elk Town, but instead brought heavier mental pressure to the people in the town.
Vignier's attitude is very clear, not only to take Clark away, but also to destroy the entire Elk Town.
After the news came back, the atmosphere in the town became unprecedentedly oppressive, and despair grew in people's hearts.
Through "synesthesia", Joan "observed" the negotiation process between Slude and Vignier.
Wignier's cold attitude towards Elk Town did not surprise him, but the hint Wignier made to Slude at the end of the conversation aroused his curiosity.
What does the so-called "miracle from the north" that Vignier refers to?
If this question is not answered, Joan is worried.
During this long day, from morning to afternoon, he always felt uneasy, and unconsciously looked towards the north, expecting to see some kind of "miracle" omen.
When the sun was about to set, Joan finally noticed something strange in the air.
The cold air blowing from the north, engulfed in a cold air that violates the laws of the season, makes people shiver uncontrollably in the scorching summer.
Joan suspected that the cold air blowing from north to south had something to do with the "miracle" that Vignier told Slude this morning, so he applied to Captain Stone to fly to the north of Elk Town Do some reconnaissance to find the source of the cold air.
Captain Stone felt that it was not worth overreacting to a little cool breeze, and even suspected that he had become nervous due to too much pressure.
But Joan offered to go for reconnaissance, and Captain Stone couldn't dissuade him. He told him to be careful on the road and try to avoid conflicts with the people of Winterhold.
Joan turned into the form of Jotunheim's eagle, and took a "invisibility spell" strengthened by "advanced spell delay" on himself, and then flapped his wings and flew into the air, quietly bypassing the frost giant and the giants stationed outside the city. Bailong, turned around and flew towards the north.
Joan spread his wings and soared in the air, concentrating on sensing the changes in the cold current in the air, and went against the direction of the cold air flow to explore the source of the cold current.
At first, he also suspected that he was too nervous and nervous, but soon after he flew out, he noticed that the cold air in the air was getting colder and colder. The closer he was to the north, the lower the temperature became. The magic net lines in it were also affected by the cold current, causing abnormal disturbances!
These abnormal signs showed that my intuition was not wrong. This summer cold current from the north did not form naturally, but more like a phenomenon caused by some kind of magic or supernatural power.
Joan cheered up and continued to fly in the direction of the source of the cold current, flying another three or four miles in one breath. The cold air had already escalated into a howling blizzard, blowing on his face like a knife cut.
Joan had to suspend the flight, landed on a towering rock, hid behind the rock to avoid the wind and snow, and took a picture of "endurance environment" on himself.
This 1-ring protection spell can help him resist harsh weather including blizzards and dispel the chill in his body.
After casting the spell, Joan's hands and feet gradually recovered from the freezing cold, and his body warmed up.
He took out a pair of goggles from his storage bag, put them on his face to prevent his eyes from being hurt by the high-altitude cold current, and then flapped his wings to fly again.
Continuing to explore northwards, Joan found that the meandering Mijiu River actually froze in midsummer, and the grass on both sides of the river bank was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost. The absurd sense of time disorder, the ice and snow scene in front of me seems so unreal.
What is the force that makes the climate change?
Joan became more and more curious.
At this moment, the palm of his left hand suddenly felt hot, and the warning from "Tears of God" appeared in his mind.
Mythological Induction: Discover the 7th-order mythical construct——Legendary Ice Barrier Colossus!
Colossus? !
This terrifying term, like a flash of lightning, passed through Joan's mind, making him immediately recall the "Golem Research Notes" he got in Cloud City!
According to this document written by the cloud giant archmage Vavrunil himself, "colossus" is a collective term for a class of "mythical constructs" that are more powerful than golems, and most of them have legendary combat power.
In the era of ancient giants, colossal statues were usually used as weapons of war by a certain group of giants. Most of the powerful giant corps had a colossal statue as a sharp weapon for attacking cities.
With the end of the era of giants, the civilization of giants has turned from prosperity to decline. Today, the magic and crafts specially used to make giant statues have long been lost and gradually faded out of people's memory.
Joan once heard his tutor talk about colossi. Professor Moriarty also said that although there have been no new colossi for a long time, there are still very few mythical colossi that were born in ancient times. The way of "family inheritance" is stored in the territories of some giant nobles. When necessary, it can still be sent to the battlefield as a strategic weapon to attack the city!
Because of the existence of these mythical giants, although the giant civilization of this era has seriously declined, its population has withered, and its power is not as good as before, it can still firmly occupy a large area of land on the Genting Highlands, deterring the aborigines and colonists who are active on the east and west coasts of the New World Those who dare not set foot in the "giant kingdom".
Recalling the information revealed by the instructor, and comparing it with the information detected by "Tears of God", Joan concluded that the "Ice Colossus" is what "White Prince" Vignier called the "miracle"!
Joan didn't dare to say that it was the only one, but apart from the "Golem Research Notes" in his hand, he searched the Arcane Library of Midgard University, but he couldn't find any documents that introduced the manufacturing process of mythical colossi in detail.
He has reason to believe that Winterhold should not have mastered this craft that has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and it is unlikely to create a brand new mythical colossus, otherwise Trim would not need to keep a low profile in the giant society.
Then it is obvious that the "Ice Statue" sensed by "Tears of God" is more likely to be a cultural heritage from the age of ancient giants.
As for Trim's inheritance from his ancestors, or the cultural relics unearthed from ancient ruins, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that the existence of this mythical colossus will definitely bring more serious disasters to Elk Town. .
Qiao An suppressed his mixed emotions, took a deep breath against the cold wind, and, driven by curiosity and a sense of crisis, spread his wings and continued to fly north.
Behind the mountains in the north, there was a rumbling roar like thunder, and the mountains and the earth seemed to be trembling.
Joan flew over a mountain ridge, and his field of vision was immediately filled by a huge monster that looked like a moving glacier.
