Chapter 173: Each has a plan for a ghost
Cappadolia walked over to the table and sat down on the floor. Now Henry finally knows why there are no chairs or anything like that. After the giantess sat down, the table was just right up to her chest, a height that was just right for the Frost Giant. The wolf jumped onto the table and sat down on the side.
Henry carefully kept a certain distance from the other two guys, and then asked, "How is the situation now, is the battle between the two white dragons still going on?" ”
"It's getting worse and worse, they used to be just once a week, but now they're going to do it every three days. The animals around are clean, and my people haven't had a full meal in a long time. Cappatoria replied with a sigh.
Henry interrupted the frost giant's self-pitying, he didn't have the heart to listen to these guys complain to each other. "You should be well aware that if we deal with two white dragons at the same time, we have no chance of winning at all. The only chance is to rush inside and raid before they leave their nests. ”
The head wolf completely agreed with him, and he looked up at Cappadolia, "The two dragons live a little close, so we have to divide the army." One is responsible for killing one of them, and the other is only responsible for delaying time. You frost giants are good at throwing stones, so you should be in charge of all the way alone, right? ”
The giantess nodded and agreed to the plan. "We're in charge of Afia, and its lair is relatively more boulder near the mountains. But you'd better be quick, as once the stones are thrown, the she-dragon will be able to rush out of the hole in an instant. ”
Henry saw that no one objected, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't have any good intentions when he proposed this plan. "I have a magic gem here, and the magic power on it can inspire two water blasts. If you can't hold it anymore, use it. At least a few more minutes of delay. As he spoke, he took out the gem "Aria's Deep Blue" from the dimensional bag that he had obtained by killing the "Drowning Ghost".
In an instant, all the people in the cave felt the magical power contained in it. Cappadolia took the gem and stroked it gently with her hand. After a while. She put the "aria navy" into the small leather bag that hung around her neck. "Rest assured, I will use this magic item with care, as long as there is a frost giant alive, this dragon may leave its lair lightly."
Henry secretly let out a sneer in his heart, the giantess did not mention the return at all, it was obvious that she intended to take the gem for herself after the battle. However, he didn't plan to care about it now, believing that by the time the 50% probability happened, these giants would not even have time to cry. The water will wash them into the cave and cause an avalanche. When the entrance to the cave is completely covered, these guys can only fight with the white dragon.
Cappadolia glanced at Henry, and was secretly relieved not to see any dissatisfaction from him. You must know that magic items are very rare in a wild place like Icewind Dale, and if it weren't for the Arcane Brotherhood of Luskan who occasionally came to Ten Towns to buy some bone carvings, the people who lived here wouldn't even know what a mage looked like.
After quietly taking the gem for herself, Cappadolia sent two giant axes that emitted cold air. "Both axes are made of cold iron, and I believe that in your human world, they will definitely sell for a good price. I'm giving them to you as a gift now. ”
"Thank you very much, then I will accept it unceremoniously." Henry unceremoniously took out the dimensional bag and stuffed two axes into it. He knew that this was the giantess's strategy, as long as he had these two gifts under his hands. It's like agreeing not to ask for the gem. However, being able to exchange a cursed magic item for such a large piece of cold iron is simply a lot of money.
The three guys, each with their own ghosts, discussed it together for a while. In the end, it was decided to wait for the next fight between the two white dragons to end. In this way, not only can they consume each other's body and talent spells, but they can also make the most of these two days to do some preparations.
The head wolf and Henry quickly took their leave of the frost giant's lair, and they found a relatively secluded ice cave as a temporary shelter. As soon as he settled down, the head wolf hurriedly asked, "Why did you give Cappadolia such a powerful magic item, aren't you afraid that she will attack us after killing the dragon?" ”
"Do you think I'm going to give a magic item without any flaws to a guy who has a good chance of turning into an enemy?" Henry let out a sneer. "Remember, as soon as you see Cappadolia take out the gem, don't think about anything and turn around and run away. Otherwise, there is a high risk that it will be swept away by a strong current. ”
The head wolf understood his intentions in an instant, and the guy cracked his mouth to show sharp teeth. "Very well, you mages are as sinister and cunning as the legend suggests. Could we go one step further and kill the frost giants after the dragon's death? ”
"Do you think those giants will come out alive? The avalanche would bury them all in the cave, and even if they could kill the white dragon by then, they would starve to death due to lack of food. So let's think about how to deal with that dragon, that's our biggest problem at the moment. Henry glanced at this winter wolf with disdain, this guy was still thinking about infighting in front of the strong enemy, it was simply incorrigible.
The wolf smiled with satisfaction when he heard that the giant was about to be destroyed, and then he sent the wolves to hunt in the distant forest, while he found a place to lie down and go to sleep. Time passed little by little, and the next afternoon, there was a sudden sound of a dragon roaring outside.
Henry immediately ran to the entrance of the cave, only to see two white dragons biting each other in the sky in the distance. They are all attacking each other using the most primitive attack methods, and their sharp claws and teeth collide with each other from time to time. Even if the dragon power emanating from it was so far away, it could still be clearly felt.
"The smaller one is our target, and if this damn creature doesn't show up, Aphia will still be sleeping in its lair." The head wolf came over and cursed viciously.
Henry carefully observed the size of the white dragon, the male was obviously only an adult, and its fighting style tended to be more beastly, relying entirely on instinct. Females are much larger in size, and the difference between the two sides is nearly double in terms of size alone. She was clearly playing with her young kind, using some magic from time to time during the fight.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the two dragons knocked out dusk from noon. Eventually, the male's body began to descend, and he was soon hit by the female's wings and fell headlong on the ice field. Afia proudly flipped her wings and roared into the sky, and flew towards her cave, seemingly with no intention of killing the other party. It took a long time for the male to get up from the ground, limping a few steps on the ice before he staggered into the sky and looked like he was going back to recuperate.
When the wolf saw the dragon fly away, he said to Henry, "Rest well tonight, and tomorrow we will set out to join the frost giant." It's going to be a tough battle, and hopefully the wolves won't suffer too much damage. ”
"You should fight with the idea of ending up together, otherwise once the white dragon flies into the sky, we will lose all our efforts. I don't have that far range for my spells, so the wolves have to complete all the containment tasks. With that, Henry went back to the cave and began to rest, for he had to get eight hours of sleep tonight.
The night passed quickly, and the next morning they met Cappatoria, and the two groups headed for their respective goals. After more than half an hour of traveling, Henry and the wolves finally saw their goal. This is a natural ice cave on the northernmost part of the continent, on the shores of the Sea of Floating Ice.
The crystal clear ice edges make this place look very beautiful, and the sunlight shines through the small holes into the cave, causing the icicles to refract rainbows. Henry blessed a few protective spells at the door, and then followed the wolves cautiously into the depths. They quickly saw the target they were about to kill.
The white dragon was lying on the ground and snoring, with a small pile of gems and gold coins behind it. It could be seen that this young man had not amassed much treasure and should have spent most of his time fighting and hunting. The wolves fanned out lightly, and in a matter of seconds they surrounded the dragon.
Henry took a sip of a protective potion and began to chant a spell in a low voice. As the sound of the spell echoed through the cave, the white dragon immediately opened his eyes. The head wolf didn't give it time to react at all, and just let out a howl. The wolves rushed up at the command, and they grabbed one place and pulled hard.
The white dragon let out a loud roar, and then slit open the belly of a winter wolf with its sharp claws, and in an instant, all the fields and internal organs flowed out. The wolves bought plenty of time for Henry's spell, and a "deadly thunderbolt" was released, and the magical energy instantly sliced through the dragon's wings, cutting a huge hole in just a few seconds.
The white dragon vigorously pushed the surrounding winter wolves away, and it had realized that the most dangerous enemy was not the wolves in front of it, but the inconspicuous human standing behind. Holding back the pain, the guy spewed a frozen breath aimed at where Henry was. The powerful cold quickly invaded everything they came across, and thanks to the thick fur of the winter wolves, they were immune to this spit, otherwise half of the wolves would have died in an instant.
Henry didn't pay any attention to the approaching cold air current, he directly activated the spell matrix that had been set up long ago, and the two second-level divine spell "flame traps" were instantly placed at the feet of the white dragon. A powerful explosion instantly swept through its fragile abdomen, and even the surrounding winter wolves were set on fire by the fur on their bodies.
The moment the dragon's breath approached Henry's body, it was bounced away by the invisible stance and black energy shield. When he was at the door, he had already blessed himself with the fifth-level divine technique "Protecting against Cold" and the third-level divine technique "Storm Shield". (To be continued......)
