With her hands around the waist of Carl's power armor, Nia commented on the scenery next to her.

"Have you been to Stormy? Isn't that the most famous resort in Aundair? I heard that it is a business run by the Stormy Dragonmark Family. Even nobles have to queue up to stay there."

"How could I have been there? Do you know how much the ticket is? I only saw the photo in the album."

Nia tapped Carl's back with her pink fist, her tone regretful.

"Haha! Then I'll invite you to play in the Storm someday? Our tower master receives invitations every year, but he never goes. With my current contribution to the phantom device, I can ask Master and maybe I can get some tickets."

The name of this resort island in Storm is not only because it has a close connection with the Storm Dragonmark Family, but also because it is indeed an island located in the "Storm".

As an island north of Aundair, Stormli was once a deserted island shrouded by tornadoes all year round.

The mages of the Storm Dragonmark family used magic to constantly change the weather in the storm, turning this originally desolate and storm-ravaged place into an island with a mild climate.

But outside the island, a layer of storm winds that never dissipate all year round serves as protection for the island.

Ships without the permission of the Storm Dragonmark Family cannot easily cross the storm, so there are almost no people sneaking onto this island.

Even if there are, they will be regarded as normal guests by the family.

"No! I want to go on vacation to the island with my own money, eh! Ditch! Ditch! Ditch!"

While the two were chatting, a deep ditch suddenly appeared in front of the locomotive.

But Carl was not panicked at all. Instead, he gripped the handle of the motorcycle tightly and increased the horsepower.

"Nia! Create a dirt slope in front!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the land in front of him suddenly rose up, forming a slope of at least 45 degrees.

“Whoosh!”

With the help of the slope, the motorcycle jumped high. Carl controlled the handlebars and landed steadily on the other side of the deep ditch, and then drifted.

The friction between the tires and the dirt road caused dust to roll. When the dust settled, Nia opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

"Don't do such intense actions next time. I can't bear it."

After wiping her dusty little face, Nia warned Carl in the calmest tone possible.

"Haha, if you don't like it then I won't do it. The teleportation light gate is not far ahead. Let's go!"

With a turn of the handle, the locomotive started moving again, and soon the two found the light gate.

However, just as Carl was about to rush forward, Nia suddenly patted Carl's power armor.

"Wait! Carl! Something's wrong!"

Carl quickly braked the tires, looked ahead, and sensed something abnormal.

Taking No. 1 off the front of the car, Carl controlled V to transform back into combat form.

A wave of spiritual energy spread out in all directions with Carl as the center.

Dozens of hidden mental fluctuations were exposed.

As if they knew they had been exposed, a dozen Kou Tao fishmen jumped out from behind the reef.

They were holding hunting sticks with clamps and hooks, and their dead fish-like eyes looked at Carl fiercely.

"What the hell! This is the 'little animal' that the wizard domesticated in this demiplane! What a joke!"

Kuo-toa, a race of murlocs once enslaved by the mind flayers.

However, due to various reasons, these guys were eventually abandoned.

The influence of psychic energy drove these guys crazy, and they began to create their own "gods", and even succeeded at one point.

Of course, from the perspective of mysticism and magical biology, these so-called gods are nothing more than the transformation of the original spirit.

But the strength of those spirits has indeed become a little difficult to deal with because of the offerings from these fish people.

Controlling V, Carl immediately launched an attack on the Kou Tao murloc.

The other party is obviously ambushing near the light gate with bad intentions, so we cannot be merciful at this time.

The mechanical hand, which was large enough to hold the entire fishman, slapped forward. Although its power was slightly weaker than Bigby's hand, it was also quite terrifying.

Unexpectedly, Carl started to attack as soon as they met, and several fishmen were hit by the mechanical arm because they reacted a beat slowly.

Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, the fishmen flew out and fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

Suddenly, a ray of light came from behind and fell on the fishmen.

Immediately afterwards, a fishman priest surrounded by the spirits of little demons walked out and waved his scepter at Carl and Nia.

"Spiritual Guardian? A 3rd level priest spell? Carl! Don't get close to him!"

After recognizing the source of the spell, Nia immediately warned Carl loudly.

But Carl had already rushed to the vicinity of the opponent at this time, and the spell effect of the Spirit Guard was activated, and Carl's speed instantly dropped to half of the usual level.

At the same time, white flames emerged from the gaps in Carl's power armor.

"You fucking..."

With his arms stretched out, Carl activated the rifle on his arm armor and bullets poured out.

V's big hands protected Carl and pressed down the fishmen who dared to approach him onto the sand one by one.

At such a close distance, Carl should have been able to hit the fishman priest for sure, but he just missed, as if his subconscious did not want to attack the other party.

"Damn it! It's a sanctuary! There must be other murloc priests nearby."

Realizing that he was under the influence of a spell, Carl simply activated the fire element in the dragon crystal.

"boom--"

The blazing flames sprayed out in all directions, and the slippery liquid on the fishmen's bodies became boiling hot under the high temperature.

The many murlocs that approached Carl fled wailing, and even the murloc priest dropped his scepter and jumped into the sea nearby.

“Go!”

Pulling Nia along, the group quickly jumped into the teleportation light portal.

"Master Karl, the map information released by the master does not show that there are Kou Tao fishmen in this plane. Do you want to update the map information?"

"renew!"

Just as he finished speaking, a sharp cold wind blew towards him.

Nia only had time to block the wind and snow, but the biting cold made her entire face numb.

The heat from her body was rapidly dissipating and her little face was rapidly turning pale.

“Huh~”

At this moment, Carl released the fire in the dragon crystal again.

A warm current immediately lingered around her, and Nia hurriedly took out a ring from her dimensional bag and put it on her hand.

The magical light quickly enveloped her body, and the temperature of her skin became warm again.

Warmth Ring, a non-ordinary magic item, requires the user to be attuned.

It can make the user resistant to freezing damage and protect the user's equipment from temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius.

Such a convenient effect, apart from occupying a synchronization quota, is really a must-have item for traveling and looting.
