book of old days

Chapter 134 Expect the enemy to be lenient
"Give me——break!" Xiao En slashed out with a sword, the long and narrow blade almost cut the ice giant in front of him in half, his figure and the ice giant crossed, and at the moment of pause, the ice giant in his hand Unable to withstand the continuous fighting, the blade of his sword suddenly shattered, turning into specks of light, which dissipated into the air.

With a bang, the ice giant behind him fell down, and then turned into a pile of broken ice and overflowing water stains, and an ice stone that was split in half also fell to the ground.

It took Xiao En a while to recover. He stood up, panting heavily. Today, in order to challenge the limit, he summoned and defeated three frost spirits in succession. As a result, the divine power in his body was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the last one finally won.

Divine power is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it will become. Every time the power of the sun in your body is exhausted, and standing in the sun, he can feel the fullness of the slow recovery of power.

Every time the recovery of divine power is stronger than the last time, although the progress is slow, it is growing steadily. Over time, even without the increase of the power of faith, Xiao En has the confidence to rely on constant tempering to reach an astonishing height.

He picked up the ice stone on the ground, and it was split in half, which somewhat damaged its quality, but it was still usable, at worst, it could be made into a smaller refrigerator.

He put the ice stone in his pocket, and dragged his tired body towards his mansion.

Back home, Sean took a hot bath as usual. The dwarves have been extraordinarily diligent recently, and they looked at him with a lot of awe and unclear meaning. He doesn't dislike this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't affect him Life is good, sometimes he feels a little uneasy, but most of the time he enjoys this feeling.

It's an elated thing to be admired, even by a bunch of goblins.

Being idle and bored, Sean took out the egg and studied it again.

The egg almost absorbed the flames in the fireplace the day he first came home, which made Sean have some guesses about it.

Now that the conditions are ready, it is time to further verify this conjecture.

He took out a piece of ice stone and put it next to the egg, about one meter apart, and then slowly brought the two closer to each other. When the distance was less than [-] centimeters, the chill emanating from the ice stone suddenly As if receiving some kind of attraction, it floated towards the egg.

Sean naturally couldn't see the temperature change, but he could see the cold mist emitted by the ice stones, floating towards the egg, and a blue halo, flowing towards the egg in a form visible to the naked eye and go.

He hastily pulled the ice soul stone away, and seeing the calm egg, Xiao En couldn't help feeling excited.

Sure enough!Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed!
Sean was surprised to think that the energy-absorbing property of this egg is irrespective of its attributes, whether it is flame or frost, as long as it is energy, it can absorb it.

So what about other energies?For example, the power of the sun.

At this time, he felt that the divine power in his body had recovered a little, so he carried the egg to the window, and waved to the sun in the sky. A particularly bright sunlight came in from the window immediately and landed on the egg.

After being illuminated by the sun, the surface of the egg also emitted a golden halo. It was absorbing the sun's rays!

Sean hurriedly retreated into the shadows, watching the golden halo on the egg rapidly fade, Sean can fully confirm this time, as expected!This egg can absorb all kinds of energy.

He further speculated that if enough energy was absorbed, the egg should have some kind of reaction—such as hatching, but he didn't know what would eventually hatch.

Whether it will be related to the energy it absorbs.

"My lord, that friend of yours has come to see you."

Wednesday's voice interrupted Sean's thoughts, Sean nodded, and asked Wednesday to bring Ragnar up, but before he could speak, Ragnar's voice rang at the door.

"Good afternoon Sean, what are you up to? I didn't bother you, did I?"

Although he said that, he didn't mean to be reserved at all. The snow water on the boots left clear footprints on the floor, and Sean didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the gnome helped clean it up.

"How did you come?"

Ragnar smiled, and didn't answer immediately, but looked at the egg on the table, "Have you researched and understood what is the use of this thing?"

Sean nodded, "I haven't fully figured it out yet, but it's definitely not for eating." He briefly explained his discovery, which surprised Ragnar.

"Then you have to be more careful. Our Nords have a proverb that hatches from an egg, either a swan or a poisonous snake."

Sean savored it for a moment, but couldn't quite grasp what the proverb was talking about.

"You came to see me for something? Could it be that you came to give me a proverb?"

"Actually, it's not that I'm looking for you." Ragnar lowered his voice, "Two mysterious guys came to the town, and they're asking about 'Shawn Forrest', what's he like, what's his opinion? Well, by the way, those two look pretty tough, that's what my gut tells me."

Sean was taken aback immediately. He stared at Ragnar for a few seconds to make sure that the other party wasn't joking. What was going on in his heart?How could someone come here to find themselves?No one knew about the fact that he came to Nordforsen by himself, and he deliberately set up a suspicious circle.

In this day and age with no identity verification, no surveillance cameras, and no spy satellites, how did these guys find themselves?
Of course the most important thing is - why did they find themselves.

Sean's first thought was whether something happened to him?
But when he thought about the news that Captain Edward had brought him back then, he felt that it shouldn't be.

"Who are they, do they have an official background?"

If it appeared in an official capacity, it would be easy to judge.

But Ragnar shook his head: "They didn't say it, but I can tell that they should be doing things for others."

Doing things for others... That's a big scope, the police?The men of the Duke of Lancaster?Or someone from the Rational Society?
But no matter what the reason was, Sean felt that the person who came was probably not good.

Seeing Sean's dignified expression, Ragnar seemed to have guessed something.

"Do you need me to deal with them for you? There are only two of them, and they are running around in the backcountry of Nordforsen. You know, our side is not peaceful. If there is an accident when they go hunting-it will be very serious." Normal thing."

Xiao En thought to himself, did you really kill the last mayor?

He waved his hand to tell Ragnar to calm down, and after thinking about it for a while, he always felt that things were not that simple.

The fact that the other party can find him means that they have some kind of special means that they don't understand, and they only sent two people. Either the other party doesn't understand their own strength, or these two people have special identities and extraordinary strength. I'm afraid it's not that easy deal with.

And Sean was also very curious, why did these two people come to him?
After thinking for a moment, Sean quickly made a decision.

"I'll go to see them and see what's going on, but—there may be conflicts at that time. In case of a fight, I may need your help."

Sean is very confident in his own strength, but he is lenient in his predictions. For these two mysterious people who suddenly appeared, he had to overestimate each other's strength to the maximum extent.

Ragnar patted Sean on the shoulder, "I'm just waiting for your words, but are those two guys really so dangerous? Even facing the gods, I have never seen you so nervous."

Xiao En sighed, "That's because I know the gods, I know what they are from, how much strength they have, as long as they make targeted arrangements, it won't be too difficult, but I have nothing to say about these two people." I know, so—is there nothing wrong with being careful?"

"Okay, I'll call out some more people, and get a group of dogs to ambush outside, those two guys will definitely not be able to turn the world around."

Sean thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything else the two of them could come up with.

"That's it - I need to recover today, and at noon tomorrow, I will go to your house to meet them."
