Chapter 1157 Stone Giant
The "Ice Statue", a legendary mythical construct that walks on the ground, is indeed, as the "White Prince" Vignier said, almost a "miracle", which fascinates Joan deeply.
He flew around the "Ice Statue" several times. There seemed to be many transparent ice windows on the surface of the giant statue's body covered by frost and mist. Through the ice windows, people could be faintly seen shaking.
From Joan's distance, even if "Fog Vision" is turned on, the scene inside the window cannot be seen clearly.
Joan really wanted to get closer to observe the windows on the giant statue and see who was in the room inside the window, but he also knew that doing so was dangerous. If the giant statue was alerted and the "anti-magic field" was turned on, he would think about it himself It's too late to escape.
At first, Joan wanted to use the "Eagle Eye Technique" to establish an observation point near the "Ice Wall Colossus", but he soon discovered that although the pace of the Colossus was not fast, each step was very large, and the actual walking speed was fast and fixed. The observation points are not very useful.
After thinking about it for a while, Joan cast a ring of "Mosquito Finger Technique" instead, turning the little finger of his left hand into a blood mosquito.
Qiao An first blessed himself with "Mage Armor", "Shield Technique" and "Cold Barrier" just in case, and then blessed the blood mosquito with "Invisibility", making full preparations before sending the blood mosquito to fly close to the "ice barrier" Colossus".
Through the eyes of this little spy, Joan gradually saw what was inside the colossus.
Behind those ice windows that resemble the portholes of a ship, there are indeed large and small cabins connected to each other, and passengers often walk back and forth, appearing very busy.
Joan also noticed that the passengers inside the colossus were all wearing uniform blue uniforms, their complexion was gray and white, and they were about twelve feet tall, obviously shorter than the frost giant.
Based on the height and skin color of these people, and the fact that they were all dressed and behaved like "mechanics" on a steamship, Joan guessed that they should all be "stone giants".
"Stone Giant" is one of the six mainstream races in the giant society. It mainly lives in the Underdark and the Genting Plateau, and is rarely seen in human society.
Among the people Joan had met before, the one closest to the stone giant was Captain Wall Stone, the reconnaissance company commander.
However, Captain Stone cannot represent the stone giant, neither in occupation nor in character.
Stone giants are perhaps the most low-key of all giant races.
Typical stone giants don't like to be soldiers and fight. They always try to avoid fighting with others, and they are not as enthusiastic and forthright as Captain Stone.
The order (caste) of stone giants in the entire giant society is slightly lower than that of frost giants, but this nation is far more ingenious than the rough and aggressive frost giants.
Compared with fighting and killing, stone giants are more interested in carving, enchanting and construction crafts. They are good at making stone crafts, magic devices and constructs, so that this is rich in "sculptors" and "mechanics". and "engineers" are often nicknamed "big dwarves" in giant society.
"Ice Colossus" is a huge and complex construction system, which is composed of countless mechanical parts and enchanting modules. If there is a problem, it may lead to the failure of the whole system.
In order to prevent the Colossus from "dropping the chain" at a critical moment, it is necessary to establish a professional team to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the Colossus. In case of failure, it is best to repair it in time and troubleshoot it.
Maintaining and repairing the Colossus is a highly skilled job!
It is difficult for the rude and savage frost giants to train qualified technicians. It is reasonable for Trim, the lord of Winterhold, to hire a group of stone giant engineers to maintain the "Ice Colossus".
Qiao An remotely controlled the invisible blood mosquito and landed on an ice window, looking for a gap in the window, intending to remotely control the blood mosquito to sneak into the room and investigate the internal structure of the colossus.
However, the blood mosquito had just touched the surface of the colossus and touched some mechanism. The huge monster immediately noticed it. The magic sensor flashed red and issued an ear-piercing alarm!
Joan's heart shuddered, and the blood mosquito escaped from the giant statue by remote control immediately, and he also flapped his wings and flew high into the sky against the clock!
Almost at the same time, a green light curtain covering the surrounding space opened up on the "Ice Colossus", which is exactly the "selective myth anti-magic field"!
Qiao An flew far away before the anti-magic field spread over, but he didn't care about being thankful that he reacted quickly enough, and he was already exposed to the anti-invisibility function of the "Ice Colossus".
The magic sensor located in the eyes of the colossus shot out two blue beams, sweeping over like a searchlight, locking Joan's position, and then a "instant frost nova" with a long range blasted over!
A ring of pale ice exploded in the airspace where Joan was, and the frozen moisture in mid-air made a crackling sound.
At this moment, Joan thought that his blood vessels were frozen and ruptured.
Fortunately, the "cold protection barrier" blessed in advance saved his life and helped him absorb the extremely cold magic power erupted by the "Frost Nova".
Joan flapped his wings desperately and escaped from the attack range of the "Ice Colossus" as fast as possible.
After that, he didn't bother to glance back, only to see four white dragons flying from the shoulders of the colossus, circling around the colossus, as if escorting it.
Qiao An hid in the high-altitude clouds and peeped down in fear. It took a while to be sure that neither the "Ice Colossus" nor the white dragon escorting it had any intention of chasing and killing him.
Taking a long breath, Qiao An felt relaxed after escaping from the dead, and only then felt a slight tingle in the tail finger of his left hand.
Looking down at the bald little finger, Joan mourned for the blood mosquito that failed to escape in time. As for the missing little finger, it will not be recovered until tomorrow.
Seeing the end of the blood mosquito, Qiao An couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat, and secretly thanked himself that he ran fast enough and was not swept away by the "anti-magic field" opened by the ice giant statue, otherwise all the magic effects blessed by him would be suppressed, Then it's not just a matter of sacrificing a blood mosquito, the "Myth Transformation" will also be invalid.
If it really falls to that point, he will be forced to change from Jotunheim Hawkman form back to human form, and because he is within the envelope of the anti-magic field, he can't even activate the "Feather Fall", only He fell from a high altitude and was smashed to pieces!
It's the end of the month again, please ask for two monthly tickets, thank you everyone
