Chapter 2117: Bride of Winterhold

When making this topaz amulet, Qiao An was only a small 6th-level mage. Casting a "secondary mental barrier" can only block mental attacks no higher than 3 levels, and every time the amulet is activated, the protection effect can only be Lasts just tens of minutes.
The protective effect of the "secondary mental barrier" is directly related to the ability to cast spells.
Joan is now a 12th-level wizard and can cast spells up to 6th level. The configuration of the "secondary mental barrier" is slightly optimized, and the spell is upgraded from level 3 to level 6, giving a higher magic power level, then it can block all negative mental effects not higher than level 6. This of course also includes the 5-ring "Nightmare Art"!
In addition, the duration of the "secondary mental barrier" is proportional to the cast level.
Qiao An is a 12th-level mage, plus the 6 caster levels provided by the 6th-level "Mythical Archmage", and 5 additional caster levels for "Magic Rosary". The comprehensive caster level is up to 23. "Spirit Connection", can last 230 minutes.
Qiao An re-enchants the "Topaz Talisman" and strengthens it with specific Rune runes. The effective time of the "Secondary Mind Barrier" can be filled for 24 hours, which is equivalent to a constant effective all-weather.
Wearing this amulet close to his body, Qiao An doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the Snow Demon with "Nightmare Technique".
That's it, Qiao An couldn't sleep peacefully.
The evil tricks Snow Demon is good at are not limited to "Nightmare Art" and "Winter Mania". Now that this monster has been resurrected and threatened to pursue the "Spirit Collar" in his dream, it will catch up sooner or later.
With Qiao'an's current strength, it is still certain to defeat the Snow Demon head-on, but this monster is transformed by a trace of the soul of the abyss lord Koschch, and it can be resurrected no matter how many times it is killed, and it will never end to hunt down the target.
There are only a thousand days as a thief, and no thousand days to guard against a thief. Qiao An doesn't want to be harassed by this immortal monster, and fear all the time.
Even if he is not afraid of the Snow Demon himself, he has to think about his relatives and friends and even his neighbors in the neighborhood.
Imagine that if the snow demon follows and comes to Midgard with a blizzard, after a fierce battle, how many innocent residents in the city will be implicated and even killed?
Thinking of this, Qiao An realized that he could not delay any longer. He had to leave Midgard before the snow demon tracked down, and sent the "Essence Collar" to Niforheim, the "land of fog" as soon as possible, and handed it to Ming The witches of the River Temple are purified and thoroughly eliminated troubles!
Qiao An made up his mind and was about to pack his bags and prepare to embark on a polar journey. There was a sudden wave of magic in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.
Holding the ball of light to read the letter, Qiao An couldn't help but stunned.
A little unexpectedly, this letter turned out to be from Hakon Walsung, and the news mentioned in the letter shocked him even more. He quickly took out the "communication stone" and established a relationship with Hakon. Advanced Mind Connection".
"Hakon, you said in your letter that Slud is going to be engaged to the "white prince" Wigner of Winterhold?" Qiao Ann asked through a spiritual connection, "tell me in detail, what is going on?"
Not long after, Qiao An received the psychology sent by Hakon and clearly felt his eagerness.
"Joan! First of all, I have to clarify that my sister doesn't like that disgusting white dragon at all. It should be said that she hates it! Her engagement with Vignier is a completely forced political marriage!"
"Hakon, don't get excited. Speak slowly. Is the marriage contract between Slud and Vignir related to the aboriginal tribal alliance that your Walsung family is forming?" Qiao An asked.
"Yes! In order to avenge my parents and all the tribesmen killed by the colonizers, we in Shizhu Town are contacting the indigenous peoples across the New World and rallying forces to resist the colonists. The members of the alliance include not only the Asa tribe, but also the giants. Active allies, including the'Lord of Winterhold' Trim."
"Not long ago, Trim responded to Elder Sigmund's call, expressing his intention to form an alliance, but in exchange, he hoped that Slud would agree to marry his adopted son Vignir. It was shameless!"
Qiao An pondered for a moment and asked Haakon: "Elder Sigmund forced Sruder to marry Vignar and asked her to act as a bargaining chip for political marriage?"
"That's not enough, Elder Siegmund conveyed to my sister Trim and his son's plan, and let her make her own decision..."
"So what is Slud's attitude?"
"Oh! Qiao An, other people don’t know about my sister’s temper, don’t you know? Inwardly, she certainly does not want to sacrifice her life-long happiness, marrying an evil cold-blooded white dragon, but refusing to marry means Losing Winterhold, a powerful ally, in order to take care of the overall situation and to avenge his parents at the same time, Slude can only sacrifice himself and grit his teeth to accept a political marriage!"
Hakon said bitterly.
Qiao An was speechless for a long time, and he spoke again at Hakon's urging.
"For whatever reason, since Slude himself agreed to marry into the Winterhold, outsiders can't say much after all. Why don't you persuade her as a brother?"
"Why didn't you persuade me? My mouth is almost worn out! But it's useless! You know Slud's stubborn temper, since she was a child, she never listened to my brother!"
There was helplessness and sadness in Haakon's words.
"If my parents are still alive, I can still persuade her not to be stupid. However, my parents are no longer alive. Except for my useless big brother, Slude has no other immediate family members in this world. I think about it. Go, maybe only you can persuade her to change her mind, after all, you are Slude's most valued friend..."
Haakang's desperate sigh moved Qiao An's heart deeply, and the scenes of his past getting along with the Walsung family quickly flashed through his mind.
The voices of Mrs. Istar and Uncle Logan seemed to be still in sight, followed by the ruins burned by the river valley town fire, the farewell of life and death by Lake Aosta, the tears of grief and indignation in the eyes of the girl... Qiao An's heart suddenly burst into blood. , Vowed secretly, never again let Slude suffer the slightest grievance!
"Hakon, you made the right decision to come to me! I'll take care of this matter!"
"Ah! Great!" After the excitement, Hakon asked in a hurry, "The engagement ceremony will be held tonight. Slud has gone to Winterhold with the elders of the clan, and we are running out of time, Joan. , Do you have any plans?"
"Anyway, go to Winterhold to find Slud first, and persuade her not to marry Vignir."
"If she doesn't listen, what will happen next?"
"That's not easy, just make a big fuss and mess up the engagement ceremony!"
Qiao'an's righteous answer made Hakon dumbfounded. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Is this... too hasty? It's really not like the plan that your genius mind came up with."
"Hakon, don't worry, the weddings I've attended in this life, without exception, ended up with chicken flying eggs."
Joan made a prediction confidently.
"According to past experience, as soon as I appear, the engagement ceremony between your sister and Wignier will have a high probability of a happy event becoming a funeral."
No one knows better than me, "Beat Mandarin Duck"! ????
