Chapter 153: The Blackmailed Sauron
In the blizzard.
Sauron slowly flew up holding Princess Anna's petite figure, she seemed to be a little excited, but just opened her mouth, a mouthful of snow was poured into her, and her small face couldn't help but swell red. Only those who have experienced strong winds, hurricanes, and typhoons will understand what it's like to be exposed to the wild winds of nature after losing cover, which is somewhat taboo even for wizards.
In fact, Sauron's expression was also a little excited, because flying is always full of good desires.
Their figures rose little by little, and gradually flew to a height of several hundred meters. This height can definitely not be said to be enjoyable, because the cold wind became even colder after losing the cover of the mountains. The speed of flying is about 30 feet to 120 feet, which is about 10 meters per second to 40 meters per second. Basically, few people can exceed this speed range, because no matter how fast the speed is, the human body cannot bear it, especially the relatively weak physique of a wizard.
In Sauron's memory, there is only one spell that can achieve supersonic flight!
The name seems to be called 'Spirit Body Flight', a kind of high-level spell that is difficult to learn. After casting the spell, it will turn itself into a spirit body form, unable to attack and cast spells, but it can fly at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. . Since he didn't have the expertise of [Fast Flight] and he had just learned to fly, Sauron's flight speed was actually only about 10 meters per second. It is said that some people have once reached the flight speed of more than 100 meters per second, but this requires a lot of is supported by feats and must be blessed with protection spells, as this is half the speed of a jet airliner.
Flying is not as safe as you think.
Because what the wizards are most afraid of is that the other party throws a 'dissolution magic'. If you successfully cancel the effect of the flying spell, you will fly as high and as smartly as you can, and you will fall down as embarrassed as it is miserable.
This is no joke!
High-altitude spellcasting requires a very strong basic skill [concentration] to support, because casting spells itself requires concentration. If you are disarmed of flying, unable to cast spells during a high-speed fall, or otherwise unprepared to deal with falling, the fate that awaits you is to be smashed into patties. Even if you are the Master, you will fall to your death alive. That's why wizards like to study teleportation spells and don't like to put energy into flying spells.
Some high-level wizards who like to fly only solidify special spells, such as feather wings and dragon wings. This can't be said to be safe. When encountering enemies, they throw out a 'dissociation spell', a 'disintegration spell' or a Possibly dumbfounded. In essence, the flying technique is definitely not as chic and free as teleportation flicker. There are very few aboriginal wizards flying in the plot, and Gloria prefers to walk rather than fly, and the subconscious also has such concerns.
The duration of the flying spell is calculated in minutes.
Sauron's spell strength is not high. Occupation level 6, intelligence bonus 5, roughly 11 points of spell power, can support 11 minutes of flying, and the flying distance is about 6,000 meters. Sauron's wizard class level is 6, and he has 2 third-level spell slots, which can add up to a distance of 12 kilometers.
If this distance is used to climb over the mountain. Undoubtedly enough.
There was a strange cry in the sky.
Sauron seemed to hear the Frostpterodactyl's voice, he quickly lowered his height, then made a silent gesture towards Princess Anna in his arms, and slowly sneaked past in a low-altitude flight. Dealing with Frost Pterosaurs in the air is completely courting death, and there should not be only one or two groups of pterosaur creatures in this area. The flying technique was fast in a straight line, and the ascent and descent were only half the speed. Sauron flew over quietly, and soon the vision in front of him gradually opened up.
Over the mountains is a dense forest, very dense snow and ice woodland.
Sauron undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly lowered the altitude to slow down the flight. Then fell after entering the jungle.
There's definitely going to be another way to go.
But now the road is much easier. It took him half a day to walk through the jungle with Princess Anna, and gradually entered the area of human activities.
"Come on. Put this on."
Sauron took out a cloak, handed it to Princess Anna, and said solemnly: "Don't talk too much on the road. Don't take off the cloak. The voters of the gods are very difficult to deal with, and maybe they have their eyeliner here."
Princess Anna nodded slightly. Then put on the cloak.
This is actually the territory of Arendelle, but no one can guarantee whether the tortured believers have developed here. As long as there is a definite goal, the legendary wizard can come over in a short time. Sauron wasn't quite sure about Arendelle's situation. The elector of the gods was very powerful, and he didn't know if the eldest princess could handle it. The most appropriate way now is to go all the way in disguise, and watch the changes in Arendelle by the way. If there is no major move, it should be safe.
After all, according to Sauron's past memories, nothing big happened in the country of ice and snow!
The two walked along the snow all the way.
They slept in the wilderness for a night, then continued on for dozens of kilometers, and finally saw the outline of a town.
"This is the town of Talador." Princess Anna recalled for a moment and whispered: "If you continue to move forward, you will be close to the sea. This town seems to be managed by a baron. I forgot the exact name."
There are many towns under the kingdom of Arendelle, mainly because the area of arable land is not comparable to the southern region.
Towns are generally distributed here. The number of large cities is less than one-fifth of the number in the south, but small villages are very rare, mainly because the villages are difficult to maintain in the country of ice and snow, and the monsters here are generally difficult to deal with. It could be seen that something must have happened in the kingdom of Arendelle, because Sauron saw the guards on guard and the cross erected outside the town.
cross.
This is a special sign.
It does not have a special religious significance like the previous life, but represents a kind of punishment. There are only two kinds of punishments that are often used on the cross. The first is to be nailed to the cross, and the second is the familiar burning at the stake. Because these two punishments are too cruel, they are rarely used by the kingdom. The most common punishments are beheading and hanging. Ordinary punishments are either fines and hard labor, or relatively severe whippings, which at most can be cut in half.
The cross is mainly used to punish the fallen, and the burning at the stake is most commonly used to punish the believers of evil gods.
"Looks like something really happened."
Sauron glanced at the cross from a distance, the blood on it had frozen into ice, and it was estimated that someone had been nailed to it.
He turned to look at Princess Anna next to him, and whispered, "Follow me and don't talk."
The town's guards are heavily guarded.
Sauron led Princess Anna forward little by little, and suddenly there seemed to be a commotion next to him, only to see everyone in the vicinity retreat in awe. The riot here aroused the idea of the guards, and a security captain who looked like a big man in the north came over, he shouted loudly, and even waved the whip in his hand. But then his expression was very ugly. His eyes were full of awe and he took a step back. He also slightly bent down and lowered his head to show his humility.
A woman appeared.
A woman who looks a little evil, with a veil on her face, seductive pupils, a silhouette with Indian female features, her hair tied into small braids, with many scattered decorations on it. This woman is wearing a black robe with a skull engraved on the front. This sign cannot be used indiscriminately. She is not a priest of the god of death, and daring to use this mark will cause other troubles. But in fact this woman is not a priest of the god of death, but a priest of another god.
On her chest is an emblem on a blood-red background with traces of bone and black antlers.
This is a priest of [Goddess of Fortune]!
There are two goddesses in the gods, you must pay attention to them. The first is the goddess of luck, and the second is the goddess of bad luck. Whether you believe in them or not, these two goddesses, it is best to show corresponding awe when you meet their priests. Because these two goddesses are notoriously difficult to deal with, and their personality preferences are difficult to judge, but their demand for believers' religion is not high.
Inside the gods of the whole world.
The clerics of Luck and Doom are the fewest, as they are one of the two gods that mortals are most familiar with and recited, whether or not they have expanded their faith.
Even Sauron has prayed to the goddess of luck for luck, which shows how special their existence is.
The Goddess of Doom is an evil and willful goddess. Basically, her priests will not be much better, because priests are very rare, and almost none of the priests of the Goddess of Fortune are simple characters. Although they can't bring you good luck, they can make you entangled with bad luck.
This is no joke!
Doom's cleric has a spell that reduces luck and can keep you unlucky for a long time.
The world is more in awe of this goddess.
Sauron was obviously also quite afraid of the priest of the goddess, so when she passed by, he quickly pulled Princess Anna and leaned over to show respect.
No one wants to be haunted by bad luck!
The matter should have passed like this, the priest of the goddess of misfortune walked directly over, no one dared to stop her, but she stopped in front of Sauron. The woman stared at him with strange eyes, then slowly spread out her hands, with an emblem engraved with antlers and white bones on her palms, and said slowly: "The goddess needs you to dedicate to her!..."
The people around him hula-la out of the way.
Sauron's expression was a little stiff, because this move was a bit like he had been extorted, and he had to come up with something. Princess Anna quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and Sauron quickly took out more than ten Kindlers without much hesitation, then carefully placed them in the palm of his hand and said, "I humbly offer the sacrifice, may the goddess of misfortune watch over it. against my enemies."
