Chapter 171: Passerby in the Western Fantasy Adventure 20

After a month of rest, Cathy's body finally returned to normal. Of course, the various potions prepared by Abner also played a big role.

As soon as she recovered, Cathy begged Hogg to teach her swordsmanship. She could no longer lift a heavy sword, so she picked up a ladies' saber from Abner's collection and started learning.

It is true that one is born in worry and dies in comfort. The previous worlds were too comfortable. Even in the seemingly dangerous orc world, the biggest threat she faced was just the cold climate.

Under the scorching sun, Cathy swung the thin sword in her hand at the boulder. Her sword moves were clean and neat, and it was a deadly sword technique.

The slave marks on Hogg's face had been erased by a potion prepared by Abner, but as he was now alone, he still chose to stay in the desolate land.

"Not enough strength, too slow." He used a branch to easily deflect Cathy's seemingly powerful sword move. "Add another stone to the wrist tomorrow."

Cathy wiped the sweat from her forehead and picked up the sword on the sand. "Okay."

Then he continued to practice sword moves in the open space.

Ivis has been going out early and coming back late recently, searching for traces of the Sand Tribe everywhere. Abner did not stop him, but gave him a protective holy weapon - the Guardian of Wind, which can withstand the full force of the wizard.

At this moment, Abner was preparing a sunscreen potion for Cathy in the room, a little unicorn horn powder, two silver moon grasses that absorbed moonlight, and a handful of powder made from pearls collected by deep-sea mermaids...

The glass bottle engraved with magical patterns changes color from red to blue, then to pink, and finally flashes with light. Everything returns to calm, and finally presents a plain and transparent color.

Basking in the sun every day, Cathy's fair and tender face was stained with traces of wind and frost. After all, she was a little girl, and Abner was worried about the care of his little apprentice.

Thus, the "moonlight water" that was sought after by the upper class was invented.

Abner also became one of the founders of beauty potions in later generations, and his name began to spread among the mouths of bards, creating a small ripple in the endless river of history.

As winter approached, the temperature in the desolate land dropped sharply. Cathy opened the door with a blow on her hands, and the biting cold wind gave her a chill.

She first went to the kitchen to light the stove and simply cooked some sweet potato porridge. After the water in the pot boiled, she covered it with a lid and simmered it for a while before she could drink the warm porridge.

Then she took out the long sword from the room. The sharp chill in her hand went up her arm and went straight to her back. Cathy felt a chill on her spine.

Train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

Since learning swordsmanship, Hogg has always been strict with Cathy. He taught her the sword that kills people, as fast as lightning, directly hitting the enemy's weakness. The sword is as fast as frost when it is danced. There are not so many fancy sword moves, but it can take people's lives unexpectedly.

Therefore, he never used his heavy sword to teach Cathy, because his sword would draw blood as soon as it was unsheathed.

Abner once said that although Hogg's swordsmanship was not exquisite, it was very practical and was a good way to save one's life in a fight on the battlefield.

This was very suitable for Cathy's current situation. She had always intended to learn some sword techniques so that she would not be completely defenseless in close combat with the enemy, so she studied very seriously.

During the transition from late autumn to early winter, Cathy would go planting trees after meditating every day. After the magic power in her body was exhausted, she would practice sword skills with Hogg. In her spare time, she would make more fast food.

Now every night the ground outside the house is covered with a layer of crystal frost. The prepared buns, dumplings and steamed buns can be hung on the eaves in a hanging basket and will be frozen hard. When it is time to eat, they can be steamed in a pot. It is very convenient.

Cathy's days were full and fulfilling. She had practiced her sword skills quite well. Hogg would take her out for actual combat every now and then, while he would watch from the side. Now Cathy could kill low-level monsters like sand foxes and sand lizards with her sword without using any magic power.

The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, and Ivis could see the smoke slowly drifting out of the chimney of the cabin from a distance.

He was wearing a snow-white robe and walking on the silvery sand. The active ice elements in the air floated up and down around his ears, as if conveying some message.

These days he had been searching for the half-breeds of the Sand Tribe, and he had indeed encountered them a few times. However, whenever these half-breeds were at a disadvantage in a battle, they would disappear due to their familiarity with the terrain.

It’s so hateful!

As winter approached, the joyful ice elements in the air gathered around Ivis, transforming into a cold current that seeped into his well-trained veins, and finally merged into the crystal core in his body.

It's just like a hungry man who has been hungry for three days and three nights suddenly encounters a dazzling Manchu banquet. Although his stomach is full, he still can't help eating some more.

Avis was in such a situation at that time. Too many ice elements surrounded him, and soon frost condensed on his eyebrows and hair. The frost spread outward with his body as the center. Soon, the ground, walls, and wooden doors were covered with a thin layer of ice.

It was Abner who discovered something was wrong. Seeing that Ivis was in danger of a magical riot, he broke into the room without giving the man any time to think and fed him a bottle of "Stop", thus avoiding a tragedy.

There are countless young magicians who became famous but were too eager for quick success and instant benefits, causing magic riots while meditating and damaging their crystal cores, and were forced to retire from the wizarding world in despair.

Although Ivis turned a misfortune into a blessing and broke through to the seventh level of intermediate magician, and was only one step away from becoming a senior magician, he still couldn't avoid being reprimanded.

"Grandpa, I don't remember where I saw this sentence." Ivis's black pupils were full of seriousness, "Love is a soft spot, but also a shield."

"Kathy is someone I like and she is also my family. I want to get stronger as soon as possible."

"What happened 17 years ago will never happen again. Watching important people disappear without being able to do anything about it, this feeling is enough to experience once."

Abner frowned, afraid that the child might go astray.

"You can't be too eager for quick success. Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. It has to be done gradually."

"I know." Ivis held out the ice crystal stone that was shining silver in his palm. "First of all, my tendons have been strengthened a lot by the hammering day after day in the past period of time. Secondly, the ice crystal stone will absorb the excess ice element, so I will be fine."

Abner finally relaxed his brows, but he shook his long beard and said timidly: "Kathy is the person you like..."

The ending was deliberately prolonged to make it more interesting.

Ivis's face flushed, and his serious expression could no longer be maintained. He dispersed the ice and snow in the house, then silently turned his back to his unscrupulous grandfather and fled downstairs.

Even from a distance away, you could still hear Abner's faint laughter.

However, after the upgrade, Ivis' control over the ice element has become stronger. Just like now, the ice elements all over the air have brought him news.

The Sand Tribe’s lair has been found!

It would be a reckless act for him to break into the Sand Tribe alone. Besides, he is not so arrogant as to take on the entire tribe alone. He still needs to go back to the branch and make long-term plans.
