Chapter 16 Winter Trial



Quiet!

Very quiet!

As soon as Livia stepped into the store, she felt the surroundings suddenly fall into silence, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

This strange feeling made his body tense and he involuntarily gripped the hilt of the sword.

“There’s a problem!”

He couldn't help but speak.

Diego turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly, and replied calmly: "It's okay, it's just a common isolation spell. Ever since we found out that there is someone behind the scenes, this thing has been there every time a blood-sucking monster attacks."

Seeing that Livia was a little confused and even wrapped her coat tightly as if she was feeling the cold, Diego continued helplessly, "It is a magic array that uses rituals to temporarily isolate a space from the outside world, so that the outside world cannot feel what is happening inside, and ordinary people will involuntarily stay away from this place.

If you circulate the power in your body quickly, your body will be able to resist the influence of this magic circle. This is the most commonly used technique. Didn't your family teach you this knowledge?"

Livia was stunned for a moment, then followed Diego's method, looking inward, imagining guiding out the power of the seal in her heart. After a moment, a colorful stream flowed out of her heart, and then circulated throughout her body as Diego said. After one cycle, she heard the noise and horse hooves outside the store again, and her body sensed that the surrounding temperature had returned to normal.

Seeing that Livia had gotten rid of the influence of the magic circle, Diego turned around and continued to walk into the store. He didn't even know such a simple thing. Did his family really intend to let him grow up on his own?

Diego walked slowly, feeling somewhat confused, wondering in his mind what kind of family would do this.

Northern accent, only basic training and education, this is somewhat like the Winter Trial recorded in the biography of the Winter God of War that Diego had read before. Diego remembered something clearly.

At that time, part of the books in the lord's library were open to the Shadow Panther Knights. The most popular book among these knights was the biography of the Winter God of War. At that time, those who read the biography felt that they were the next Winter God of War, so they were deeply impressed by the contents. Diego still remembers it now.

The Biography of the Winter War God is a biography describing the life of the Origin Knight Winter War God. It describes the life of the Winter War God from his early days in the year 217 of the Origin Calendar when he first ventured into the ** Continent, to his life in an unrecorded era at the end of the Dark Calendar when he died in battle with a demon lord from the outer world for his territory.

The Winter Trial that Diego had in mind was exactly the trial that the Winter War God's family, as recorded in the Winter War God's biography, conducted on adult youths. The Winter War God in the biography, like Livia in front of him, was only taught the most basic things by his family, and then allowed to leave the family alone to explore the continent for training. He was not allowed to return before he grew to a certain level, and even if he was about to die outside, it would not be of any help.

When Diego first learned about such a cruel trial, he was very surprised. He didn't understand why there would be such a cruel and indifferent ancient family that was so indifferent to the lives of family members for a so-called trial.

Later, Diego, who was very puzzled by this, specially looked up relevant information and books, and only then did he understand why this ancient family had such a cruel trial.

According to ancient legends, there were no humans in the early days of Longwa continent. The continent was ruled by elves and other non-human races, and humans lived in unknown areas in the west of the continent.

500 years before the Origin Calendar, humans were led by sorcerers to land on this continent. During their voyage on the sea, human ships encountered storms. Jan Becker, who is now praised as a sage wizard, calmed the waves with his magic power. His ability allowed the humans who had sailed from afar to land.

After humans came ashore, he was the one who cut through the mountains and split the rocks, provided water for humans, and drove away the dark clouds and storms, allowing humans to begin to thrive in this land.

But the difficulties faced by humans at that time were not just these. You have to know that the elves and other non-human races dominated the continent at that time, and they did not have a very good attitude towards humans at that time. The elves regarded humans as an inferior race, and most other non-human races regarded humans as a part of their diet.

One can imagine how dire the situation was for humanity at that time. Although the sage wizards and some other wizards at that time had powerful strength and were not afraid of the strong people of other races, ordinary humans were different. Their physical fitness was inferior to that of most non-human races, and they were completely at the mercy of others.

However, it was impossible for the wizards to focus their full attention on all humans and protect their safety 24 hours a day. In this way, they spent a very dark fifty years, and the number of humans arriving at the Longwa continent was reduced by more than half, and they were on the verge of extinction.

At this time, wizards and some powerful warriors worked together to explore a set of training methods suitable for most humans, which is the current knight training method.

Although only a very small number of people can sense the elements of the outside world and become wizards, the method of the knight makes use of a unique spiritual object. This spiritual object, called the Spiritual Awakening Fruit, has the ability to absorb various elements from the outside world and transform them into its own unique energy. For ordinary creatures, taking this spiritual fruit can only enhance the activity and spirituality of their own energy.

Through the research of wizards, they developed a potion that can change the human body with the Spirit-awakening Fruit as the main ingredient and many other spiritual medicines as supplementary ingredients. Even the most ordinary humans, after taking this potion, can slowly absorb the surrounding elements into the body and transform them into an elemental power of their own.

Although they were not as powerful as orthodox wizards who could control external elements, they were able to protect themselves. In a short period of time, the wizards used up most of the materials at hand to create the first 500 knights.

As soon as the five hundred knights gained strength, they resisted a large-scale attack by the ogre monsters. After that, these five hundred knights grew rapidly after experiencing one battle after another, and the weakest one had the strength to kill the Cyclops alone.

Later, under the leadership of five hundred original knights, humans finally overthrew the dominance of other races and became the new rulers of the Longwa continent.

The ancestor of the Winter Family was an original knight. After the war, he took his followers to the north to establish a territory.

At that time, the Winter Family, which guarded the north, had no shortage of power. The only thing they needed was a powerful heir to fight against the monsters in the north in order to maintain the family's inheritance.

Therefore, the ancestor of the Winter Family established a rule at the beginning of the establishment of the family that all adult men in the family must go out for training, and only those who complete the Winter Trial can become the next head of the family.

Therefore, the young adults of the Winter Family would be exiled outside to develop on their own after receiving basic instruction. They all knew their missions, and most of them volunteered to accept the trials.

She is so similar to Livia just now, could it be that she is really from the Winter Family?

Diego was thinking randomly, and soon he came to Deron's side.

"What are you thinking about?"

Deron looked at Diego who was a little absent-minded and asked with a frown.

"Ah... nothing much, just wondering where those rats might be hiding."

Diego came back to his senses and shook his head, clearing his mind. Really, it was none of his business, so why think so much?

············Livya felt the changes in his surroundings and body with some surprise. It was the first time he felt this sublimation-like feeling. Although he knew it was just an illusion, he still enjoyed this feeling and controlled the flow of this feeling in his body with some curiosity.

Suddenly, her body felt weak and there was a slight pain in her heart. Livia quickly covered her chest and looked inside her body.

I saw that the colorful stream that was as thick as a finger just now had shrunk to half its size.

Is it because the energy consumption is too great? It seems that the power of my seal is still too little to support my continuous use.

After taking the power of the seal back into her heart and regaining some strength in her body, Livia stood firm and walked towards Deron and Diego.

As he walked, he felt relaxed all over, as if he had thrown off a huge burden.

As his soul sublimated, the system log in his mind suddenly refreshed the message without reminding him.

[It is detected that the host has successfully mastered the power of the seal] [Complete the hidden task: Master the seal.
