Chapter 2117 The Bride of Winterhold
When this topaz talisman was first made, Joan was only a little level 6 mage, and he could only block mental attacks no higher than the 3rd ring with the "Secondary Mind Barrier", and every time the talisman was activated, the protective effect could only be Lasts for just tens of minutes.
The protective effect of the "Secondary Mind Barrier" is positively related to the ability to cast spells.
Joan is now a level 12 mage, and he can cast spells up to level 6. Slightly optimize the configuration of the "Secondary Mind Barrier", upgrade this spell from the 3rd level to the 6th level, and endow it with a higher level of magic power, then it can shield all negative mind effects not higher than the 6th level, This of course also includes the 5th ring "Nightmare Technique"!
In addition, the duration of "Secondary Mind Barrier" is proportional to the casting level.
Joan is a level 12 mage, and counting the 6 casting levels provided by the 6th level "Mythical Master", and the 5 additional casting levels provided by the "Magic Rosary", the comprehensive casting level is as high as 23. "Mind Connection" can last for 230 minutes.
Joan re-enchants the "Topaz Amulet" and strengthens it with specific runes. The effective time of the "Secondary Mind Barrier" can be filled for 24 hours, which is equivalent to a constant effect around the clock.
Wearing this talisman next to her body, Joan doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the Snow Demon with the "Nightmare Technique".
That's all, Joan couldn't fall asleep peacefully.
The evil tricks Snow Demon is good at are not limited to "Nightmare Art" and "Winter Mania". Now that this monster has been resurrected and threatened to recover the "Spirit Collar" in his dream, it will catch up sooner or later.
With Joan's current strength, it is still certain to defeat the Snow Demon head-on. However, this monster is transformed by a trace of the spirit of the abyss lord Koschurch.
There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Qiao An doesn't want to be harassed endlessly by this immortal monster, and he is always in fear.
Even if he himself is not afraid of the Snow Demon, he still has to think about his relatives, friends and even neighbors.
Just imagine, if the Snow Demon follows and descends on the city of Midgard with a blizzard, how many innocent residents in the city will be implicated or even killed after a fierce battle?
Thinking of this, Joan realized that there was no longer any delay. He had to leave Midgard City before the snow demon came, and sent the "Spirit Necklace" to Niflheim, the "Kingdom of Mist" as soon as possible. The witches of the River God Temple purify it and completely eliminate future troubles!
Joan made up his mind and was about to pack his bags and embark on a trip to the polar region when suddenly there was a wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red light appeared.
Holding the ball of light to read the letter, Qiao An couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Somewhat unexpectedly, this letter was actually sent by Haakon Volsunger. The news mentioned in the letter shocked him even more. He quickly took out the "communication stone" and established a "communication stone" with Haakon. Higher Psychic Connection".
"Haakon, you said in your letter that Slude is going to be engaged to the 'White Prince' Vignir of Winterhold?" Joan asked through a spiritual connection, "Tell me in detail, what is going on?"
Not long after, Joan received a telepathy from Haakon and clearly felt his urgency.
"Joan! First of all, I have to clarify that my sister doesn't like that disgusting white dragon at all. It should be said that she hates it! Her engagement to Vignier is a forced and helpless political marriage!"
"Haakon, don't get excited. Tell me slowly, is the marriage contract between Slude and Vignier related to the aboriginal tribal alliance that your Volsong family is forming?" Joan asked.
"That's right! In order to avenge my parents and all the people who were brutally killed by the colonists, our town of Shizhu is contacting the aboriginal peoples from all over the New World to gather strength to resist the colonists. The members of the alliance include not only the Asa people, but also the giants. Actively seeking allies, including 'Lord of Winterhold' Trim."
"Not long ago, Trim responded to Elder Siegmund's appeal and expressed his intention to form an alliance, but in exchange, he hoped that Slude would agree to marry his adopted son Vignir, which is shameless!"
Joan thought for a while, and asked Haakon: "Elder Siegmund forced Slude to marry Vignier, asking her to be a bargaining chip for a political marriage?"
"That's not the case. Elder Siegmund conveyed to my sister the plan of Trim and his son, and let her make up her own mind..."
"Then what is Slude's attitude?"
"Alas! Qiao An, others don't know my sister's temper, don't you know? In her heart, she certainly doesn't want to sacrifice her lifelong happiness to marry an evil and cold-blooded white dragon, but refusing to marry means Losing Winterhold, a powerful ally, in order to take care of the overall situation and avenge his parents, Slude can only sacrifice himself and accept a political marriage!"
Haakon said sadly.
Joan was speechless for a long time after hearing the words, and only spoke again under Haakon's urging.
"No matter what the reason is, since Slude himself agreed to marry into Winterhold, it's not easy for outsiders to say anything. Why don't you persuade her as an older brother?"
"Why didn't you persuade me? My lips are almost worn out! But it's useless! You know Slude's stubborn temper. Since she was a child, she never listened to my elder brother!"
Haakon's words revealed helplessness and sorrow.
"If my parents are still alive, I can still persuade her not to be stupid, but my parents are no longer alive. Apart from my useless big brother, Slude has no other immediate family members in this world. I think about it Go, maybe only you can persuade her to change her mind, after all, you are Slude's most valued friend..."
Haakon's desperation lament deeply touched Joan's heart, and the scenes of getting along with the Volsunger family in the past flashed through his mind.
The voices of Mrs. Ishta and Uncle Logan seem to be still in front of my eyes, followed by the ruins of the fire in Hegu Town, the farewell by the shore of Lake Aosta, the tears of grief and anger in the eyes of the girl... Joan's heart suddenly gushed out , Swear secretly, never let Slude be wronged again!
"Haakon, it's the right decision for you to come to me! I'll take care of this matter!"
"Ah! That's great!" Haakon asked after the excitement, "The engagement ceremony will be held tonight, and Slude has gone to Winterhold with the elders of the clan. We don't have much time left, Joan , do you have any plans?"
"In short, go to Winterhold to find Slude first, and persuade her not to marry Vignir."
"If she doesn't listen, what will happen next?"
"That's not easy, just make a big fuss and mess up the engagement ceremony!"
Haakon was stunned by Qiao An's straightforward answer, and it took a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Is this... a bit too hasty? It really doesn't look like the plan that your genius mind came up with."
"Haakon, don't worry, all the weddings I've attended in my life have all ended in failure."
Joan made a prediction with confidence.
"According to past experience, as soon as I appear on stage, there is a high probability that your sister and Vignier's engagement ceremony will turn into a funeral."
No one knows better than me, "beating mandarin ducks with sticks"!
