Chapter 671: Blood Valentine's Day (Part II)
Whew! It's cold!
The bitter cold wind made Gianna shiver. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even though she was a mage specializing in frost magic, she couldn't help but shudder when she suddenly came out of the warm Karazan drawing room with a burning fire to the cold Northlands.
She wore a little less.
"This is ......"
In mid-February, the harsh winter has not yet receded, and the mountains and trees in the distance are all white.
In addition to the mountains, there are trees.
For Gianna, who has no experience in surviving in the wild, it is simply blind.
Gianna's mind was a little cloudy: Where is this?
At this time, Duke's voice rang in Gianna's ears.
"Ahh
"This is the northern mountainous region of the Tirisfal Woodlands. Duke's blue-and-white mage robes hunted in the cold wind.
Tirisfal Glades?
The clever Gianna suddenly thought of something, and her little face turned white for a moment.
"Yes, the first lesson I'll teach you is 'survival'! how to survive in a world that will soon become extremely bad. The first lesson is not very demanding, and with your current equipment, you can survive for 24 hours in the orc-infested Tirisfal woodlands. ”
What the!?
When Gianna heard this, she was almost so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
Let her, a little girl who has never lived independently, be a minor girl, without winter clothes, without food, without assistance, without any heating equipment, in a forest where there will be a danger of orcs at any time for 24 hours?
Isn't that bullying?
Tears quickly condensed in the corners of Gianna's moving eyes, and for a moment, Duke almost softened his heart.
But an actor is an actor.
Duke pretended to be magnanimous and asked, "Are you scared?"
"I'm scared!" Gianna looked up suddenly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her aggrieved eyes: Oh! It turns out that Duke just gave me a dismount to scare me!
Duke waved his hand, and after a brief spell, an illusory portal more than one person tall opened.
Gianna was just about to step in, but suddenly her body suddenly seemed to be under the petrification spell, and she froze.
Gianna would have recognized this sight when she turned to ashes.
On the other side of the door is Kurtiras!
"As long as you promise to tell His Majesty Proudmore that you will give up studying with me. Then you can walk through this door and return to your warm home as your Princess Kul Tiras. Duke spoke slowly, but the words were like knives, slicing hard at Gianna's heart.
It's not that no one around him has reminded Gianna that Duke doesn't want to see her, doesn't want to marry her, and doesn't even want to take her as an apprentice.
But the pair of [Smoke Gloves], which even Antonidas greatly envied, made the young Gianna forget this in excitement and ecstasy.
Now it seems to be true!
Yes, I was able to go back, but what about when I went back? I came to Duke under the guise of apprenticeship, but I was driven back because I couldn't survive the hard training. Such a shame, it is strange that my father did not peel her skin. In the future, let alone Antonidas, no archmage of Dalaran will accept her as an apprentice.
Thinking of this, Gianna's mouth was full of bitterness.
Does she still have a choice?
Gianna bowed with impeccable demeanor and used the honorific title: "No, Mr. Marcus, I am your student. I have come to Karazan to accept your teachings, and if you think that surviving in the wild has been very helpful to my growth, then I accept your trials. 24 hours, right? I hope you will pick me up on time. ”
"I promise to be on time in 24 hours. Duke tilted his chin.
"There's one more problem. ”
You ask. ”
"What if there is a danger that I can't handle?"
"Remember your big brother Drake's 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony? Your father only gave him a dagger and pushed him into a pool with an adult shark. ”
Gianna's goosebumps were rising. When she was a child, she grew up listening to the great achievements of her father and eldest brother. It was only when she was older that she realized how dangerous it was.
The only way to survive in the face of a shark's assault in the sea is to pierce the shark's nose with a dagger at the moment of the shark's bite, and then twist the shark's head with the dagger to get the body out of the shark's mouth. Otherwise, as long as you are scratched by the sharp teeth like interlaced canine teeth, the skin will be open on the spot, and it is more likely that the wound will be infected and die.
Gianna trembled like chaff, but after a few seconds, she finally managed to calm her trembling and bowed again: "Understood, teacher." May I ask one last question?"
"Yes. ”
"Have you ever experienced something like that?"
"Experienced. ”
"Then I have no problem, what the teacher could do back then, I can also do. Gianna's azure eyes shone with determination.
"Good!" Duke said, and a teleportation vanished in front of her.
It's cold!
With a breath of white mist, Gianna realized that she had to find some clothes first, otherwise she would freeze to death in less than 24 hours, let alone survive 24 hours.
The only good thing was that she was wearing standard mage cloth shoes today, not the heels used for banquets. At least in the face of bad mountain roads, she wouldn't be so desperate to take off her shoes and walk.
In a cave on the mountainside five hundred meters away, looking at Gianna in the snow, a beautiful elf pulled her blonde hair that was blown by the wind, she looked back and smiled: "Duke, you are really ruthless." ”
"Do you think so? ”
Aurelia smiled: "This is too cruel for a little girl who has just turned 14. Don't you know? It's her birthday. ”
Poof! Gianna's birthday on Valentine's Day? What the hell is this?
Duke really doesn't know if this is the case in the original history, or if he has become this ghost because he has crossed over. Well, if she wants to hate, hate it. It's better than her becoming a 'girl selling father' according to her original trajectory.
Duke hugged Aurelia into his arms and felt the body temperature of the female elf: "Gianna is undoubtedly a true genius, she has the gift of growing into the Archmage of the Dawn Sun. But there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and in the end, there is often no one in ten thousand who can reign at the top. ”
The female elf's eyes wandered: "Because geniuses have died on their own pride and laziness, or have they died of bad luck on the way to growth?"
"Yes!"
Not right either!
Master, I just don't want her to be the bad woman who sells her father and sells the alliance!
Gianna below took a dazed turn in the cold wind, and suddenly, she was pleasantly surprised to find cooking smoke.
The smoke of the cooking stove is clearly visible even from several kilometers away. (To be continued.) )
