Chapter 119: Promotion to Level 2 Mage Knight
It was April of 3798, a time of bright spring.
During this period of time, the Volo River Valley seemed relatively calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent. The city hall, headed by Malcolm and Alex Viscount, and the Brad family were involved in a fierce war of words.
Both sides are relying on the laws of the kingdom to argue. The Brad family continues to accuse Romo of murdering nobles; while the city hall headed by Malcolm and Alex Viscount accuses Brad of committing crimes. Treason and murder against some lords were reported to the kingdom in turn.
As for Lomo, who was at the center of the storm, he was very quiet. He delivered a large amount of gold coins to Mayor Malcolm. To Viscount Alex, in addition to gold coins, he also presented several alchemical potions. These potions are high-end potions developed by Romo to express his gratitude to Viscount Alex.
After the bribe was completed, Romo ignored it and continued to indulge in his water element magic training.
Although the city hall has been talking to Lomo, after all, it involves the major matter of killing nobles, so the kingdom continues to issue investigation orders to Lomo, ordering him to go to the royal city for investigation.
But Lomo ignored this. He gave the reason that he was afraid of the Brad family's retaliation against him, emphasized that he did not dare to leave the manor, and then began to write letters accusing Count Brad and his crimes over and over again, as well as the legitimacy of his own defense. . It doesn’t cost anything to write a letter anyway.
Letters flew to the city hall and the royal city one by one, but Romo himself stayed firmly in the manor and remained motionless.
Things gradually escalated. Some nobles who were close to Earl Bled came to the Sardin Manor in person, either with the purpose of currying favor with the Bled family or with the purpose of maintaining stability in the Volo River Valley, wanting to challenge Lomo to a duel. .
But Luo Mo still ignored this and even ordered people to sell the manor's enchanted weapon products and alchemy products to them.
These nobles originally came to fight. Faced with this sudden promotion, some of them actually became customers of the manor and quietly signed a transaction agreement with the manor. After all, Luomo's alchemy products are of high quality and low price, and they are really delicious.
In the past two years, the alchemy products of the House of Saldin have been exported out of the Volo Valley through the sales channels of Volo City, to the north, and even to the entire Kingdom of Clay. Now it has long been famous, and many garrison armies in the northern cities have become stable customers of the Saldin House.
This is one of the reasons why Luo Mo has the confidence to fight against the kingdom's investigation order. Luo Mo knew that he was now equivalent to a stable arms supplier. If the kingdom rashly captured him, who would supply the alchemy products to the northern defenders?
With the threat of evil orcs, it is impossible for the kingdom not to consider this issue.
Due to the different opinions of all parties, these cases have been delayed for two months, but there is still no progress at all. During this period, Luomo has been working tirelessly to improve his strength.
Finally, one day in mid-April, he felt that his water element magic was surging and active in his body, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
He immediately opened his skill panel:
[Magic Knight Level: Water Element Level 1]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Ice Phantom]
[Elemental Magic: 9+1 (Water Attribute)]
[Magic Remaining: 75%]
[Skills]
[ Ice Sword Technique: Level 4 (7244/10000)]
[Frost Impact: Level 4 (6124/10000)]
[Water Purification Technique: Level 3 (4748/5000)]
[Water Curtain Technique: Level 3 (4682/5000)]
[ Ice Freeze: Level 3 (2920/5000)]
With 9 points of magic value, you can break through to the level 2 Mage Knight. Romo did not waste time and immediately began to prepare for the breakthrough.
Now the manor has all kinds of materials, and it is no longer as patchwork as before. It only took half a day for the old butler Barron to transport all the required magic materials to the Soul Splitting Fortress.
Next to the water altar, Luo Mo sprinkled the concoction of auxiliary herbs on the altar, and then took the frost spirit potion.
As usual, two drops of blood were dropped on the snake's mouth of the Ice Phantom Sword as a sacrifice, and a thick mist filled the air.
With the rising mist, Luo Mo entered the alien space again with the phantom of ice.
There is still a vast ocean in front of us, no different from last time.
This time, he was very calm. He skillfully used the Water Curtain Technique to summon a hollow water ball, wrap himself in it, and then control the water ball to walk forward.
At first, he walked very cautiously. The big black snake that looked like a pillar of heaven that he encountered last time cast a huge shadow on him.
However, after walking for a long time, Luo Mo still couldn't see the black shadow. He saw a vast expanse of sea water around him without any change. He gradually became a little impatient, and began to slowly increase his speed, speeding across the sea.
The endless sea surface was so calm that there were no big waves. Only Luomo's water ball flew silently, making ripples on the sea surface.
Although this alien space is not dark, there are no luminous stars in the sky, and it is unknown where the light on the sea comes from. Luo Mo felt more and more empty as he walked. He only felt that the surrounding scenery was the same, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.
He kept walking forward like this, unable to estimate his speed or how much time had passed.
This feeling is actually very bad and really tests one's patience. Even though he was as calm as Luo Mo, he felt inexplicably irritable and bored at this time.
When he was bored, he began to try to use other magical powers in his body, but it seemed to be suppressed in some way. The power of arcane and shadow magic was extremely difficult to mobilize in this world.
From this point of view, only the main material world can freely accommodate all kinds of magic.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but when Luo Mo began to feel tired, something finally changed in front of his eyes, and a piece of land seemed to appear.
However, due to the thick fog on the sea, it was difficult to see clearly.
Although he didn't know what the fate was, Luo Mo was slightly relieved to see a different scene.
After all, the scene before was so monotonous that he always had the feeling that he might have been spinning in circles.
Luo Mo gradually slowed down his speed and approached the land very cautiously.
The sky was a little gloomy at this time, and it was raining lightly, making the fog thicker.
It wasn't until he got closer that Luomo saw the whole land.
This is a land composed of solid ice. There is no white snow or soil, only patches of slightly black ice.
The solid ice terrain slowly lowers and extends into the sea, like a naturally formed beach.
On the solid ice in the distance, there are ice pillars standing one after another. The icicles are large and small, and they are scattered in an orderly manner.
Light rain fell on those icicles, dripping down the ice flowers on the icicles, forming circles of water curtains. Moistened by rain, the surrounding water vapor is thicker, and these icicles are looming in the water curtain and fog.
Luo Mo stood in the water balloon and slowly slid ashore. He suddenly felt down to earth.
He put away his spells and walked on the ice continent in the rain.
After walking through several icicle forests, Luo Mo suddenly discovered that a forest actually appeared in the rain curtain ahead.
The woods consisted of only one species of tree, a species Lomo had never seen before.
Their roots are clearly visible in the solid ice. On the black tree trunk are things like fish scales, which look like row upon row. The trunk branched upwards and branches spread out. Even the branches are covered with tiny fish scales.
It’s not surprising that the trunk is black, but what’s strange is that even the leaves on the branches are black, and some leaves are surrounded by black fruits.
All in all, the trees were all black, as monotonous as a splash-ink painting. This forest is endless and very dense, with only a narrow path leading to the depths of the forest.
Luo Mo was very curious and walked slowly along the small intestine path.
After going through a long and winding road, Luo Mo turned a corner and suddenly felt shocked, even his calves trembled.
I saw a huge open space in front of me, and the big snake I saw last time was entrenched in the middle of this huge open space.
The snake's tail was placed in front of Luo Mo's eyes. The snake's body spiraled upwards in circles, and its head went straight into the sky.
The black scales on its body are exactly the same as those of the surrounding trees, but the size is different from clouds and mud.
Seeing this big snake, Luo Mo's first reaction was to slowly retreat.
But before taking two steps back, a gust of fishy wind blew by, the entire ice surface shook violently, and the snake's head was already stretched out.
The big snake seemed to notice Luo Mo's presence. It glanced at him inadvertently with its huge and deep vertical pupils, and then dropped the snake's head to the ground.
Then, the giant snake spit out his letter in the direction of Luo Mo.
The huge black and red letter suddenly came out and directly wrapped Luo Mo's entire body. At
this moment, Luo Mo thought that he would definitely die, but he soon discovered that this huge meat ball had no pressure, and was soft and slippery. It came and went as quickly as it came, and other than making my body wet, it didn't cause any real damage.
After the giant snake made this almost prank-like move, it ignored Luo Mo, closed its eyes, and stopped making any movements.
Luo Mo waited in fear for a long time, and was surprised to find that the giant snake seemed to be asleep.
'Damn, you drooled all over me. Luo Mo sighed, panting slightly, feeling the joy of surviving the disaster in his heart.
He slowly walked out of the forest and began to wander around other parts of the land. After walking around for a long time, I found nothing else except this forest land.
Seeing that he was tired and sleepy, Luo Mo found that he still couldn't seem to leave, so he simply returned to the forest.
He climbed up the tree and picked the fruits from the tree to satisfy his hunger. The fruits were crisp and sweet, but had a unique flavor.
After eating and drinking, he slept in the forest.
After he woke up, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that there was a water altar in front of him. Calcifer and Nicholas stood in front of him, looking concerned.
Luo Mo suddenly stood up and felt that the water element magic in his body was extremely abundant. Looking down, he saw that the saliva left by the giant snake was still on his body, but it had dried up.
'The giant snake, maybe the source of my magic power? ' Luo Mo secretly guessed.
Carefully feeling the magic seed in the waist, it is obvious that it has undergone new changes. Its outstretched branches have become thicker and its beating is more powerful.
He immediately opened his magic panel:
[Magic Knight Level: Water Element Level 2]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Ice Phantom]
[Elemental Magic: 9.1+1 (Water Attribute)]
[Magic Remaining: 95%]
[Skills]
[Ice Sword Skill: Level 4 (7244/10000)]
[Frost Impact: Level 4 (6124/10000)]
[Water Purification: Level 3 (4748/5000)]
[Water Curtain: Level 3 (4682/5000)]
[Cold Ice Freezing: Level 3 (2920/5000)]
New skills:
[Ice Snake Impact: Level 4 (6124/10000)]
[Skill Description: Enhanced version of Frost Impact, with snake venom attack, the affected person's body will appear in a small area Freezing effect. ]
[Ice Land: Level 1 (1/1000)]
[Skill Description: Summon a land of frost within a certain period of time. Standing on the frosty land, the ice-frozen chanting time is greatly shortened. ]
Luo Mo looked at these two skills. Ice Snake Shock replaced Frost Shock. Not only was the power greatly increased, but there would also be continuous control of ice poison in the future.
Although this kind of control is not as overbearing as ice freezing, it can still cause a lot of trouble to the enemy.
As for the Ice Land, it is even more abnormal. Although the chanting time is very long, once the spell is successfully cast, as long as you stand on the ice, you can almost freeze the ice into an instant skill.
Ice freezing has extremely strong control. Once it becomes smooth hair, its practicality will be qualitatively improved.
However, the premise is that you must ensure that you can sing it.
Reminiscent of the fact that Count Brad is also a second-level magic knight, he may also have some killing moves that require long chanting times. Luo Mo vaguely realized that his victory in the previous battle seemed to be a bit lucky.
If there was no assistance from Saltin's Breath at that time, Count Brad might have other strengths that he had not yet displayed.
'It seems that no matter how strong you are, you can't take it lightly. No matter how powerful a skill is, if you can't use it, it will still be useless. ' Luo Mo immediately warned himself secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Romo had been in a daze, Vincent and Calcifer felt quite uneasy and asked together: "Sir, have you successfully broken through?"
Romo nodded with a smile, raised the Ice Phantom, and began to sing. .
The chanting time this time was longer than the ice-frozen chanting time, and it lasted for several seconds.
After finishing singing, Luo Mo pointed the ice phantom to the ground.
The next moment, a sheet of ice suddenly extended from Lomo's feet, covering all the surrounding land.
Seeing the feat performed by Lomo, Nicholas, who was also a water element, was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Is this what human beings can do? It actually changed the landscape."
He picked up his magic. The weapon used all its strength to unleash an ice blast, which only made a shallow crater on the ice.
"Sir, this is really amazing! I think that in the entire Volo River Valley, except for that Marquis Arnold, no one is your opponent." Nicholas said with reverence.
Luo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Nicholas, you can practice on this ice layer in the future, which will make your practice faster." "
Yes, sir!" Nicholas was surprised and happy, and immediately bowed and said.
Luo Mo smiled and nodded, but felt a little dissatisfied.
This skill is very powerful, but the chanting time is too long. Next, we need to find a way to shorten the chanting time.
