Star falls on June 11, 833, at night, Moldavia, the northern part of the north, the snowy mountains of Nissie, and the white frost forest.

Looking down from the sky, the White Frost Forest is a triangle, located in the lush pine forest between snow-capped mountains and ice fields. It grows between rolling hills and a winding river passes through it. The White Frost Forest is not rich in resources. Before the Winter Fort College was established nearby, even hunters rarely came here to hunt, but even so, there were many creatures in it, including monsters.

From the gaps between the leaves, you can see faint starlight beginning to appear in the sky, which proves that the late night has gradually come, and the increasingly strong south wind has dispersed the clouds in the air. Therefore, the monsters lurking in the daytime will also enter their own active period.

Somewhere in the forest, a light blue light appeared faintly on the tree that had long collapsed and was now slowly rotting.

As the dim moonlight became brighter due to the gradually dissipating clouds, the light blue fluorescence that appeared on the tree became more and more eye-catching. With the sound of "gum" like a flow of liquid, a light blue translucent gelatinous creature almost as big as a half-person, like jelly, emerged from the gaps in the tree body and came to the outside world, silently absorbing the magic contained in the moonlight.

This gel-like soft creature is the most famous and weakest monster in the world, Slime.

It can be seen from its appearance that this is a frost slime unique to the cold area.

Slime is like a jellyfish, with no brains and only instincts, but they have extremely strong adaptability. Whether it is deep seas, glaciers, swamps or volcanic springs, as long as there is water or even liquids, they can survive and adapt to the local environment.

Some magicians believe that Slime evolved from some jellyfish stranded on land during the ancient geological change period, but this argument has no evidence to support it. Mermaids and the shelter of the deep sea (the god of the ocean) also denied this statement.

The arguments of another scholar are even more terrifying. They believe that Slime should be formed by the blood of some ancient super creature, or even an ancient dragon. Although this argument is also unreliable, it is unexpectedly possible to find several seemingly reasonable evidence. One of them is that such a weak creature can actually carry a large amount of magic power smoothly. As far as we know, Slime is the only low-level monster that can survive in the heavy magic radiation area, and can also rapidly proliferate and evolve according to the degree of magic power in the place.

But no matter what, slime is slime, because it is essentially a mixture of gelatinous, water and magic. They are generally the lowest layer in the monster food chain and can be regarded as some kind of high-end beverage, so it is difficult to grow and the number is not large.

Most slimes hide in various dark corners, absorbing dew and magic power gradually increases. However, because they do not have a brain, they will not respond to the call of the Black Tide and attack the fortress of humans. That is the only time for slimes to rest. By absorbing the flesh and magic power of dead monsters, this creature will grow, split, and reproduce quickly, and will expand to a terrible level in a short period of time.

The more powerful monsters in the White Frost Forest were all expelled by a group of human mages a few days ago. The Slime clan immediately began to develop with all its strength because it lost most of its natural enemies.

Above the tree, this frost slime was quietly absorbing magic power, preparing for the split and reproduction soon, while in the bushes not far away, a pair of gray eyes were staring at it tightly.

Ivan Makarov, the young magician from Winter Castle, held his simple staff tightly in his hand, waiting for the opportunity to attack, and his target was naturally the only monster in this area, the huge frost slime in front of him.

Today is the second day of the Wilderness Survival Test at the Winter Castle Academy. Due to the forced inability to carry any food, all students can only obtain food by hunting and picking fruits. As the son of the hunter, Ivan naturally knew how to survive in the northern woods. Through several simple traps, he had caught rabbits and squirrels that had been eaten for two days.

But this is not enough. As the notice said, just survival is not enough for this test. If you want to get a higher score, you must hunt other monsters.

In the white frost forest, the powerful monsters had long been expelled, and the only ones that were left were slimes, frost butterflies and big wild boars.

Among these three remaining monsters, the wild boar is strong, has a small number, and has a large range of wandering, so it is not the first target. The frost butterfly is too small to be used as food. The natural spell-like magic [Ice Thorn] is also too dangerous for mage apprentices, so it is not considered.

Only slimes, which are weak, slow to move, and large quantities to eat, are the best goals.

At this time, someone will definitely think, can slime be eaten?

The answer is some, some cannot.

For example, magma slimes grown in volcanic springs, covered with sulfur and heavy metal toxins, are absolutely not allowed to eat, and venom slimes in the swamps cannot be eaten, but in most of the woods, slimes that grow by relying on tree juices and fruits are edible, not only edible, but also very nutritious.

As a mixture of magic, mucus and water, after the body fluids of Slime are processed, they are the raw materials for primary magic potion. Drinking a bottle can quickly restore magic. As a mage apprentice, Ivan naturally knows this. In order to continuously cast spells in the next few days and try to hunt more powerful creatures, he must not let go of the frost slime in front of him.

"Terrain, unknown, the possibility of slime counterattack, the route of retreat..."

He first thought about everything and made a preview in his mind. Ivan sorted out his hair to avoid the long hair covering his vision in the later battle. Then, he held the staff in his hand tightly, focused his energy, let the magic power in his body flow, and began to prepare for the first spell.

...

...

"Jothia, what do you think?"

Above the white frost forest, above the endless cold wind, two figures stood in the clouds. They looked down at the earth, and their eyes reflected the fire of life moving in it.

The magical light of blue radiance flowed in his eyes. Nostradamus, who was paying attention to every student, noticed that the warrior beside him did not reply, so he asked again: "How are these children in your eyes?

“…in my eyes?”

Repeating in a low voice, Joshua narrowed his eyes, he thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The experience is not very enough. Whether it is survival, hunting or fighting, it is too young."

"Most half of the people chose to stay and lit the bonfire. I didn't think much about the wind direction and poisonous insects, so I just said to fight."

With a casual finger, the warrior signaled the old mage to look in the direction where Ivan was. He said softly: "This little guy cannot use fire and thunder spells because he wants to obtain Frost Slime's body fluids. The opponent has Frost resistance, so Frost Plastic Energy cannot be used either. The mage's attack methods at low levels were immediately nullified, leaving only an arcane missile."

Speaking of this, Joshua couldn't help but show a gloating smile: "How did he know that Slime has a certain magic absorption ability without going through actual combat? Both the fireball and the thunder arrow may be immune, let alone the pure magic impact?"

"good."

Nostradamus looked in that direction and couldn't help but nodded. He said with some emotion: "All students think that the big wild boar is the strongest monster, but in fact, the slime with a certain degree of magic resistance is the opponent that the lower mage hates the most. On the contrary, the big wild boar only needs to use the simplest thunder arrow to directly paralyze it to the point where it cannot move."

"This can be regarded as a small education, telling them not to trust their appearance too much."

“It’s actually very good.”

Shrugging slightly, although Joshua pointed out the mistakes of these students without mercy, he was not unhappy, but was a little relieved: "The first time he walked out of the academy and came to the forest, he had such performance, which was considered excellent."

"yes."

The wrinkled face stretched slightly, and Nostradamus also looked at the young mage in the forest who lost his enjoyment because of the failure of the arcane missile, but was not afraid of danger, and used the complex terrain in the woods to fight with slimes, and smiled: "All of them are good kids."

Just as Joshua and Nostradamus were watching the mage apprentices in Winter Castle Academy in the north, far south, east of the holy mountain, and the abyss of Anos.

A sacred white ship, looking like it knew that the extremely strong giant ship was sailing in the strong wind and waves, moving against the waves of the sea.

The abyss of Anos in the late night was like hell, with dizzying winds raging above the dark sea water, causing waves and screams. The clouds surging wildly in the sky, bringing down heavy rain. The cold rain mixed with salty and wet water vapor, obscuring all the people's vision.

The power from the abyss stirs up the currents in this sea area, forming vortexes of all sizes and weathers that are always stormy. If the ships sailing here are not strong enough, they will be easily dispersed by the strong winds and tides. The dead souls of the crew will be imprisoned by evil and turn into a wandering ghost ship, wandering in the rainstorm of the night.

But it is obvious that this pure white ark will not be easily defeated by the huge waves. There are dense sacred runes on its hull, with holy light flowing on it, resisting the bad weather, and the evil spirit hidden behind it.

In addition, at the top of this ark, there is a half-man-sized circular gem, which releases hot positive energy like the sun, and the light illuminates the sea area within a radius of nearly a thousand meters. Even the rain and fog containing the power of the abyss cannot be stopped.

Next to this gem, there are many magic arrays that are operating, amplifying and guiding its power, calming down the wind and waves around, and guiding the ark forward.

If Joshua came here, he would have been surprised to find that this gem was the core-melting star hanging in the Holy Emblem Hall of the Imperial Palace Morley.

"well."

A sigh came from the ark deck.

The deck at this time can be regarded as the most dangerous place on this Saint White Ark. The restless wind and the sweeping everything can easily sweep people into the cold and dark sea water. In this weather, if the person involved in the sea water is not strong enough, it is equivalent to death, because no one can find the person who falls into the water in this situation.

It was obvious that the blonde knight who was sighing on the deck was strong enough. He was wearing white armor and stood at the front of the deck, looking deep into the dark distance. No matter how strong the wind or the huge waves could move him at all.

"Why, Lorlanda, why did you sigh?"

Next to the man, there was another man, who was also not afraid of the strong wind. He was wearing a silver magic armor and a huge cross-steel hammer around his waist. The middle-aged man with silver hair asked in a calm tone, and even the whistling wind could not be covered: "Are you worried about whether the plan will be successful?"

"One thing, Captain Robzek."

Without hesitation, the blonde knight, Lorenda simply admitted: "The storm in the Abyss of Anos is getting more and more violent, and the huge waves cannot be completely overcome even the magic circle engraved on the [Time], and the melting star borrowed from the empire can no longer support it. Look, under the power of the abyss, its light has begun to dim."

"In addition to the specially borrowed Fusion Star, we have other holy tools that can overcome the influence of the abyss and guide us."

Shaking his head, the silver-haired middle-aged knight, Robzek calmly answered his junior's questions: "And we still have time. If we don't do this, we will return to the holy mountain to prepare again. If you try a few more times, you will always successfully find the [Central Vortex]."

"But I'm not worried about these..."

Sighing softly, Lorenda frowned and looked at the dark sea. As the clouds surged, the rolling thunder also came from the sky. The blue lightning broke through the sky, but could not illuminate the rain curtain above the sea water.

This was his third voyage after leaving Moldavia and returning to the Holy Mountain. Every time he sailed, the time for this [Time] to persist in the heavy rain would be shorter. This was not because it was damaged, but because the dark power in this sea area was gradually strengthening.

What's more, before you reach the central vortex, the Fusion Star is unable to bear it. So what holy weapon should you use to resist the concentration of the abyss power after you find it? Should His Majesty the Pope take action personally, use the pure white stick in his hand, or use other artifacts?

Thinking of this, Loranda shook his head. These were not realistic. Pope Eagle had to deal with the impact of dragon disaster, and other holy weapons must be prepared for this moment. Most of the holy weapons they carried this time were second-class, so they could not resist the evil power in the Abyss of Anos.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of a friend he knew.

If it were that friend, the power he possessed would definitely be more suitable for the current situation than the Fusion Star.

The Paladin recalled what he said when he said goodbye to himself not long ago.

"...It will probably be a little difficult to accept it."

The black-haired and red-eyed warrior, while drinking wine, said with a smile: "But if you have anything to do if you need my help, don't hesitate, you can find me at any time. I will not refuse the invitation from my friends."

"Then, I wish you a good journey."
