Chapter 248: Why don't you compare one?

Aoraki Kingdom, the Frost Land in the North.
This is the end of the continent and the beginning of the Arctic Ocean.
The temperature here is below freezing all the year round, the cold wind roars all year round, the snow is constant, the black ground is frozen as hard as iron, and there is nothing on the ground except some moss lingering.
The camp of the Frost Crusade is located in a relatively warm green valley. On the high cliffs on both sides of the valley, there are magic watch towers built by the Kingdom of Aoraki at a huge cost. Magicians sent from the south are stationed all year round. , Monitoring the situation within a hundred kilometers.
This one hundred kilometers is exactly the width of the gap between the Goldrinn Mountains and the Owens Mountains. It is also the safest path for the Frost Giant to descend south. It is called the Frost Road and is guarded by the Crusader-in-chief Edward Rhein!
The green valley, because there are high mountains that shield some of the cold, and there are several geothermal boiling hot springs in the valley, which makes the temperature in the valley seven or eight degrees higher than outside. If you are lucky, there will be a few days in the year. , The temperature will break the freezing point.
Such an environment allows some tough cold zone plants to live here, which adds a touch of greenery to the valley, and also prevents the Crusaders who have been stationed again every day from facing the monotonous black and white world. Occasionally if a few flowers bloom, ↗ it will naturally be a splendid view in the valley.
There is also a big river in the valley. It is one of the few rivers in the Starlight Continent from south to north. The river is frozen all year round. Even if the thawing is not complete, the surface of the river will still be full of floating ice, so it is directly called: ice river.
On the high ground of the glacier bank, there is a beautiful blue castle. This is the residence of Edward Rhein-Blue Castle. It is one of the rare castles built by magic on the mainland.
Blue Castle is warm as spring. Because of the large number of magic arrays. The decoration style inside is rather rough. Snow bear fur and whale bone decoration can be seen everywhere. These are the prey of the Marquis Edward when he went out hunting.
Of course, Lord Marquis doesn't like being called his knighthood or being called a sword saint. Among the Crusades, he was most willing to be called Marshal Dehua.
it's noon now. The wind stopped, the sun was rare,
At such times, Edward likes to have lunch on the zenith of the castle. He likes to set up a long table of food and invite the generals of the Crusaders to enjoy this wonderful time with him.
Well, it used to be like this, but today is a bit special, because in addition to the generals, the castle also has two unexpected guests.
One man and one woman. The man calls himself the Maple Leaf Earl of the Principality of Lehman, Rollin, and the woman has the beauty of a bright moon. As soon as she said her name, everyone knew her identity without introducing herself, and she was the guardian of the Primo family.
Edward is the host. He sat at the long table. As soon as the banquet opened, he smiled and said: "You two are coming from afar and are my distinguished guests. Today we will not talk about state affairs or country, just drink."
He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.
Edward's appearance looks more than 50 years old, his hair is gray, his spirit is very good, his face is handsome, his dark blue eyes are very deep, his figure is very tall and his voice is extremely loud.
Although this opening was an ordinary tone, it set the tone for the banquet, and no one present dared to refute it.
Well, the generals had heard that Luo Lin was the earl of the duchy, and they had some hostility, but since the marshal said so, no one would dare to talk about it, so everyone drank wine and enjoyed food. , Chatting casually about anecdotes from all over the mainland.
After drinking for three rounds, Marshal Edward looked at Luo Lin and smiled: "Then, Earl Maple Leaf, you and Viana have traveled far and wide, braving the cold to come to my Blue Castle, it is impossible to specially attend my banquet. . Now talk about your intentions. Remember, we don’t talk about national affairs."
Of course Luo Lin understands that if you don't talk about state affairs, then the two sides are nobles. Although there are different monarchs, there are so many people watching, and it is not a private meeting. It is not a big deal to be a guest.
Although the Principality and the Kingdom of Aoraki fought for years, it was a matter of the lord. There were many nobles who had friendship in private, and there were also marriages. Regarding this kind of thing, King Aoraki and Grand Duke Lehman turned one eye and closed another, as if they hadn't seen it.
In fact, the Grand Duke himself did the same. His wife was still King Aoraki’s cousin, but the two continued to fight year after year, and things were the same.
Luo Lin smiled slightly, raised his glass and gestured to Edward, then took a sip, and said: "Let me tell you something about my experience in the South."
"Okay, please speak." Edward had no objection.
The generals nodded, and everyone liked the story.
Luo Lin said, "This is what I saw in the Hengduan Mountains in the southern part of the mainland. The protagonist of the story is an orc, um, an orc martial sage named Thorge."
"It's still a martial sage. I heard that this guy has broken Vendome and is very tough. I have a chance to fight him." Edward's interest grew stronger.
The Frost Crusade has long lived in the extreme north, with poor information flow, and did not understand what happened on the mainland, such as the fall of Vendome. Although they heard about it, they did not know the details at all, let alone the orc Thorg. .
Luo Lin started from the orc Wu Sheng leading the army into the Hengduan Mountains, combining his observations and some reasonable imaginations in details, until the conflict between Wu Sheng and the undead, and finally both were injured.
These things were basically seen by Luo Lin, so every detail, especially the details of the final battle, Luo Lin said was full of wit and thrilling. The generals of these Frost Crusades were immersed and amazed.
Vianna also listened with interest, with a smile on her face.
Luo Lin said this for more than half an hour. At the end, he took another sip of his wine and smiled and said: "In the end, the orc Martial Saint was forced to move the tribe deeper into the forest to avoid the undead. revenge."
There was a young general who didn't believe it: "The undead are just scumbags. How can there be such a powerful thing that can be kicked off with one kick? Earl, your story is quite true. It's just too ignorant."
"There are many kinds of undead. Their power depends on the dark magic in the body. You said a skeleton that can be kicked away. It should be the lowest level undead." Luo Lin was not angry, but just smiled and retorted.
Another middle-aged general also spoke. He wanted to be more prudent, but he still didn't believe in Luo Lin's words: "This Thorg is a magnificent martial sage. According to you, he has terrifying orcs under his control. The power can fight against Vendome's legionnaire, how can it not beat the Gargoyle Knight?"
"The mad orcs are very strong. But the gargoyle knights are not weak. I have fought against them with Vianna. According to our estimation, if there are thirty such knights, we will have to run away."
"I can confirm the earl's statement." Vianna added.
"According to what you said, an alchemy puppet like a gargoyle can fight the mad orc head-on, and the undead is not invincible. Alchemy puppets can be made as long as they have materials." Some people questioned.
"Materials should be very rare, so the number of gargoyles should also be limited." Luo Lin smiled, he was very patient.
Another general wanted to speak, but Marshal Edward waved his hand suddenly. All the noise is gone.
The sword saint's dark blue eyes stared directly at Luo Lin, and said solemnly: "I only have one question. Since it's what you saw, did you see it with your own eyes, or hear it?"
"Saw it with my own eyes!" Luo Lin replied earnestly: "Master Vianna is walking with me and can prove it for me."
"Another question, you two, one is the earl of the north and the other is the guardian of the Primor family, why are you going to the Hengduan Mountains in the south together?" Edward was surprised by these details.
This time, Vianna replied on her behalf: "Actually, Rollin is my friend. Thorg led his army to capture Vendôme, my enemy. I heard that he hid in the Hengduan Mountains, so I went south. Look at their situation, but I am not sure about going alone, so Luo Lin went with me."
"Oh." Edward replied, thoughtfully, and then suddenly laughed: "Okay, the story is wonderful. Yes, it's just time to drink, come, continue!"
Afterwards, Edward talked about some anecdotes about the Frost Lands, such as the rumors of the Snow Bear Baili saving his son, the rumors of a hundred-ton giant whale, and even the legend of the Snow Queen of the Far North, which opened their eyes to Luo Lin and Vianna.
A banquet, the host and the guest are happy.
Seeing that the banquet was about to end, Edward suddenly said: "I still heard people say that there is an earl in the Lehman Principality, with exquisite martial skills, and the appearance of a great master. Even the Red Moon Sword Saint is very important. It must be Lord Rollin, right? "
"I think I have a small achievement in martial arts. This should be me." Luo Lin was not modest either.
"Oh, with that said, my hands are itchy. Why don't we compare them?" Edward squinted and smiled, looking at Luo Lin with a deep blue gaze, which seemed to have a deep meaning.
Luo Lin didn't refuse and laughed: "It's a great honor to receive the guidance of the Sword Sage. I don't know where to compare?"
"Look at the glacier below. At this time, the ice layer is at least one meter thick, very strong, and the ice surface is spacious. We can just have a fight."
"Okay!" Luo Lin stood up, took his sword and shield, and saluted Edward again: "I'm a junior, so I'll go one step ahead."
He dashed forward a few steps and jumped directly from the ceiling of the nearly fifteen-meter-high castle. When he reached the ground, his shield shrank and the whole group formed a ball, and a roll on the ice surface of the glacier was offset. The momentum of the falling, and then the waist was strong, and he stood up again.
Edward laughed, and with a stroke of his hand, the two servants carried his weapon up. It was a large knife, measuring 1.7 meters in length, 15 centimeters in width, and weighing 100 kilograms. The blade was slightly curved, with smooth arcs, and the whole body was ice blue. Color, translucent, and exudes a white chill~EbookFREE.me~ In the chill, there are faintly fragmented flash currents. It is the famous weapon of the saint: the silver frost ice knife!
He took the knife, and just like Luo Lin, he jumped directly from the top of the sky. After falling on the ground, his knees bent slightly, and all his strength was released on the ice, with a few clicks, ice A cobweb-like crack appeared on the surface, which was amazing.
On the rooftop, the generals saw that the two of them actually said that they would do it with their hands. They didn't get muddled at all, and they all ran to the rooftop to watch the battle.
"The marshal is going to educate his younger generations again."
"I don't know how many dollars this earl can hold?
"I bet three dollars!"
"There should be five knives!"
Vianna didn't participate in the discussion of the Crusaders. She walked aside and looked at the two people on the ice below, with some anxiety in her heart.
She was a little confused about the purpose of this saint. (To be continued...)
