Chapter 280: Third-rank Mandra Demon Eye

"Don't you really want to ask me why you want to send troops to the Ice Plain Sanctuary?" Gao De nodded, indicating that he knew, and looked around the room that could be called noble, and suddenly asked Su Su Su Nai Fa back.

Su Su Su Nai Fa smiled slightly, "I want to, but there is no need."

"No matter what the reason is, I will unconditionally support your decision anyway. Since that is the case, why know the reason? If I really know the reason, maybe it will add trouble."

Not only self-discipline and loyalty to ideals, Su Su Su Nai Fa also has a calm wisdom.

"Actually, the reason is also very simple," Su Su Su Nai Fa didn't ask, but it didn't mean he wouldn't say, "Since Enduring Zhenbing wants to revive gloriously and unify the Northern Realm, then first of all, we must have a master mentality and treat the tribes in the Northern Realm as our own people."

"And among the three giants of the Snowfield Guardians, someone is practicing forbidden Necromancy, and is treating the Northern Realm people as food, driving the beast tide to destroy the tribes in the Northern Realm. The Snow Fall Clan is a bloody example."

"In this case, the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe must stand up. It is both to protect its future people and to occupy the righteousness."

"When someone threatens the many tribes in the Northern Realm, the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe comes forward to solve this hidden danger. This is taking the lead."

"At least this lets the many large and small tribes in the Northern Realm know that the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe is maintaining the interests of the Northern Realm people and is the leader of the Northern Realm people."

"Of course, this is the statement on the bright side." Speaking of this, Gao De smiled slightly.

"The more real reason is that the person in the Snowfield Guardians who practices forbidden Necromancy has tried to put me to death many times. Since I now control the power of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe, I must take revenge for this hatred, and I don't want to wait for a moment."

"Of course, I know this is called using public power for private gain, spending a lot of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe's financial and human resources for my own private gain. Do you still think I am the person in the prophecy now?"

"You are wrong, this is not using public power for private gain, because the king's order is inviolable. Those who go against the king go against the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe," Su Su Su Nai Fa bowed slightly, seriously and solemnly: "They must repay the overstepping with blood."

Watching Su Su Su Nai Fa leave, Gao De sat at the stone table in his new room and fell into deep thought.

"Magic User, what is a king?" Fu Luo La flew to Gao De's ear, pulled his hair, and interrupted his deep thought.

"It is a ruler of a tribe, possessing the highest decision-making power and executive power, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of leadership, ensuring the stability and development of the tribe."

"Don't understand~"

"It means that no one in Phoenix will dare to bully Lady Fu Luo La again."

"Great~"

"Was Lady Fu Luo La afraid just now?"

"Afraid of what?"

"I cut off Tang Nade's head directly."

"Oh~ not afraid."

"Lady Fu Luo La is really small and bold."

"Because he is a bad person, so he was killed by the magic user, so Lady Fu Luo La is not afraid."

"This time it is a bad person, but sometimes, I don't necessarily only kill bad people."

"The magic user is the magic user, so no matter what the magic user does, Lady Fu Luo La will not be afraid."

Gao De turned to look at Fu Luo La.

Fu Luo La's eyes are unusually clear.

It is not sweet talk; Fu Luo La with the heart of nature always speaks the truth.

"Lady Fu Luo La is truly wise and unparalleled." Gao De praised extremely seriously.

"You don't need to say that!" Lady Fu Luo La raised her head high.

Although she didn't know why the magic user suddenly praised herself, she praised it right anyway.

"That bird seems to like Lady Fu Luo La very much." She showed off again.

"That bird?" Gao De thought for a while, and then reacted. Fu Luo La was talking about the magic falcon on Su Su Su Nai Fa's shoulder, "Why do you say that?"

"Because it has been looking at Lady Fu Luo La."

"If you like someone, you can't help but want to look at him." Gao De translated.

"That's it." Fu Luo La nodded.

"But it's also normal, who doesn't like Lady Fu Luo La?"

"Not really, that old man doesn't like me." Fu Luo La corrected seriously.

"Wrong, he just likes you, so he wants to grab you. Everyone has different ways of treating things they like. Some are good to them, and some are manifested as possessiveness."

"What should I do then?" Fu Luo La is very distressed.

Everyone likes her, so someone will definitely want to grab her in the future.

"So, Lady Fu Luo La must seize the time to continue learning magic, so that even if I am not here in the future, Lady Fu Luo La can protect herself."

"I will teach Lady Fu Luo La attack magic tonight."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"!!"

Fu Luo La looked at Gao De in a daze. She clearly didn't say anything, how did it become a deal?

Phoenix, outer city area, an inconspicuous gray stone residential house.

The owner of this residential house is not an Enduring Zhenbing tribe member, but an outsider who is a bit old.

Since he came to Phoenix a year ago, he has settled here.

It is said that his tribe was destroyed in a beast tide, and he escaped from death by relying on the magic cast by the Ice-born bloodline.

After losing his tribe members, he simply chose to retire in Phoenix.

As an Ice-born magic user, he will go out hunting every once in a while to exchange for various materials needed for life—although survival in the Northern Realm is difficult, in the case of one person eating and the whole family not being hungry, for Ice-born, survival is actually an easy thing, unless you are looking for death yourself.

And this outsider went out hunting some time ago and just returned to Phoenix recently.

At this time, it is near dusk, and the sky is not yet dark.

This is the time when every family is cooking, which is the most lively and has fireworks.

However, a sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the fireworks of this street.

After the footsteps, there was a powerful magic fluctuation and spreading cold.

It's just that this powerful magic fluctuation came in a hurry and dissipated in a hurry.

In the gray stone residential house.

A middle-aged man dressed as a typical Northern Realm person is sitting on a chair, and two people are pressing his hands.

And in front of him stands an Enduring Zhenbing Tribe elder wearing a fur robe.

If Gao De were here at this moment, he would definitely find this elder unusually familiar.

Because it was Elder Claude who was the only one who reacted after he cut off Tang Nade's head, stepped forward and wanted to reprimand him.

"

"Elder Tang Nade is no longer here, so the cooperation and alliance are naturally void." Facing the middle-aged man's accusations, Elder Ke Luode appeared exceptionally calm.

"Elder Tang Nade is gone?! What does that mean?" The middle-aged man, already bound, heard what Elder Ke Luode said and couldn't even care about his own dire situation, asking in disbelief.

"It means exactly what it says." Ke Luode said coldly; although he couldn't accept it emotionally, he had already accepted the fact rationally.

He looked at the middle-aged man before him, his eyes full of hatred, and gritted his teeth: "If it weren't for your incitement, the Great Elder wouldn't have sunk deeper and deeper, eventually meeting this end today."

Tang Nade had been beheaded by Gao De's sword, and the negative emotions in Ke Luode's heart had long since accumulated to a peak.

But Gao De was the new King, and he couldn't say anything, so he chose to vent all his anger on the middle-aged man before him.

"It was clearly Tang Nade who hit it off with us; there was no incitement..." the middle-aged man couldn't help but retort.

Slap! Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Ke Luode had already slapped him across the face with such force that blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth.

This slap left the middle-aged man stunned. Ke Luode no longer looked at him directly, just waved his hand coldly, "Take him away, send him to the War Mother."

As a staunch reformist, Ke Luode was also one of the five fourth-circle magic users in the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe and a true direct subordinate of Tang Nade.

He knew almost everything about Tang Nade's affairs and schemes, including Tang Nade's cooperation with the Snowfield Guardians.

When Tang Nade was still around, there was at least a distinction between the conservative faction and the reformist faction.

Now that Tang Nade was dead, there was only a distinction between "our own people" and "outsiders."

Ke Luode could still distinguish which was lighter and which was heavier.

So, after accepting the fact that Tang Nade was dead and the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe was about to march on the Icefield Temple, the first thing Ke Luode did was to lead men to capture the personnel planted in Phoenix by the Snowfield Guardians who were in contact with Tang Nade.

The only choice was the best choice.

This was unity—the unity the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe had been desperately seeking.

Outside the residence of Catherine and Luo Yiqi.

Almost at the same moment, the sound of hurried footsteps arrived.

Only this time, the one leading the team was Elder Grant.

"Elder Grant, what is the meaning of this?" Catherine looked at him, unable to understand.

"Apologies," Grant spread his hands, "Our King is preparing to settle all conflicts with your sect."

"Before the settlement is over, to avoid you tipping them off or affecting our tribe's actions, we can only temporarily restrict your movements." Elder Grant's tone was still polite.

But what he was about to do was not polite.

"Restrict" was just a nice way of putting it.

Translated plainly, it should be called "imprisonment," or at the very least, "house arrest."

"You had best not resist; otherwise, to avoid the conflict escalating, Elder Lanwen might not be able to hold back his hand," Elder Grant advised again.

Standing beside Grant was an old man who hadn't said a word from start to finish.

At this moment, the old man raised his head and looked at Catherine indifferently.

He was the Elder Lanwen that Grant spoke of, another fourth-circle Ice-born magic user in the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe.

Catherine gritted her teeth in anger, and was also puzzled, "Our King?"

The leader of the Enduring Zhenbing Tribe had always been the War Mother; when did there suddenly become a King?

How had she never heard of this? "Speaking of which, I must thank the Saintess; it was you who brought our King to Phoenix," Grant said sincerely.

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

Then, she opened her mouth wide, "Gao De?!"

Luo Yiqi, standing beside Catherine, was still completely confused, "What King? And what does this have to do with Gao De?"

Gao De hadn't been in his room for long before Su Su Su Nai Fa sent someone to deliver the second-rank ice marrow and spell formulas he needed.

Looking at the seventy-one drops of ice marrow condensed from pure ice elemental power in the ice crystal bottle, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

You must know that just a few days ago, his Mandra Magic Eye had only just advanced to the second rank.

According to Gao De's expectations, it would have been at least several years before the Mandra Magic Eye could advance again to the third rank.

Who could have imagined that worldly affairs would be so changeable.

After a brief moment of reflection, Gao De opened the ice crystal bottle directly.

He intended to absorb and refine all seventy-one drops of the second-rank ice marrow today.

As one drop of second-rank ice marrow entered his eye, a familiar, massive surge of ice elemental power instantly spread through Gao De's left eye, then merged into the depths of his pupil.

With the integration of the ice elemental power, the point of golden light that had already appeared in his Mandra Magic Eye became increasingly rich at this moment, beginning to grow.

Just two minutes later, the ice elemental power contained in this drop of second-rank ice marrow was completely absorbed.

Gao De did not hesitate and dripped another drop of second-rank ice marrow into his eye.

Time flowed slowly.

More than an hour later.

Gao De opened his Mandra Magic Eye once again.

In his clear, limpid pupils, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth at this moment, like stars shining in the night sky.

That point of golden light, after absorbing enough ice elemental power, had expanded to its limit and began to undergo an essential change.

The golden light suddenly began to extend, stretching from a point into a golden line, like a golden lightning bolt tearing through the night sky.

The moment the golden line was formed, the golden rune originally composed of three golden lines also appeared.

The new golden line, like a wandering child hearing its mother's call, merged directly into that golden rune at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The rune began to spin violently, as if a miniature galaxy were forming in Gao De's eye, emitting a dazzling light.

Finally, amidst a burst of brilliant light, a brand-new, more complex golden rune formed in his eye.

Mandra Magic Eye: Second Rank (36/72).

Gao De took a deep breath.

This wasn't over yet.

He continued to drip second-rank ice marrow into his eyes.

Following Gao De's action, another point of new golden light was born in his pupil, like a newborn star.

Another hour or so later.

The fifth golden line had already formed in his pupil.

Amidst the blooming golden light, the rune representing the 【Insight】 ability emerged, beginning to absorb this newly appeared golden line.

The five golden lines, like five golden lightning bolts, intertwined to form a more complex and powerful rune.

The lines of the rune became finer, and the structure more complex.

Gao De felt this powerful energy gathering in his eye, and his vision became clearer and sharper as a result.

However, this time, the light did not dim after the new rune was formed.

Because, at the same time the fifth golden line was formed, Gao De's Mandra Magic Eye also naturally advanced.

The advancement of the Mandra Magic Eye is always accompanied by an essential-level improvement, gaining a new ability.

Another point of blue light, like a comet, suddenly streaked across Gao De's pupil.

The blue light rapidly spread into a line, like a blue lightning bolt tearing through the night sky, plunging deep into the depths of Gao De's pupil.

The appearance of this blue line connected to an unknown source of power.

It merged with the golden rune representing 【Insight】, making the rune's light no longer a single gold, and also making that rune more powerful.

Finally, the light dissipated, and a brand-new, gold-and-blue intertwined rune was formed.

【Break Illusion】.

This was the new ability gained by the third-rank Mandra Magic Eye.

"Illusion" means falsehood.

So-called "Break Illusion" is possessing true vision, seeing through falsehoods, including but not limited to illusion-type spells.

In terms of practicality and versatility, it is not as good as 【Insight】, but it has its own unique merits.
