Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

The next few months were unusually peaceful. The sultry summer passed with a gust of autumn wind, and winter followed.

Like bears and crocodiles, most sirens have entered a period of hibernation and rest.

This would be considered a good thing, but most people are not happy at all.

it's too cold.

It's weirdly cold.

The mighty Dongting Lake actually showed signs of freezing. In the area adjacent to Longwan, one could often hear the "cracking" sound of ice breaking and the dissatisfied roars of dragons in the middle of the night.

Traffic was paralyzed on a large scale, and many roads and railways were unable to operate at all. In the worst-hit areas, it was difficult for people to even go out.

The only consolation is probably that there is finally enough food.

As long as you have enough to eat, nothing will go wrong.

Not to mention the horrifying tragic conditions in other coastal countries on the Internet. The photos of people who were swollen from hunger and frozen into human sticks, which were not deleted in time, are terrifying to look at.

“Although the external environment may have cast a thin layer of frost on our lives, please believe that every flower blooming in the cold wind heralds the tenacity and perseverance of spring.”

"Today is the Chinese New Year. May the bells of the New Year not only take away the gloom of the old year, but also bring a bright new year!"

The Spring Festival Gala's congratulatory messages are being broadcast on TV.

The old couple sat on the sofa in front of the TV. They hadn't eaten and hadn't turned on the lights. Only the light from the TV made their faces flicker.

"Okay, go to bed." said the old lady.

"We still have to stay up all night." The old man said, "Just think of it as staying up all night for your son."

The old lady stopped talking, and the room fell silent again for a moment.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rings.

"Who is it?" The old couple was a little surprised. The social worker volunteers had already delivered the food yesterday. Who would come at this time?

When I opened the door, I was immediately surprised: "Son!"

"Comrade father, comrade mother, I am Private First Class Meng Da, formerly from Jinlin and now from the Southern Military Region, reporting to you!" The young military magician saluted.

"You kid, get in the house!"

"Son, I saw on the news that this road is blocked. How did you get back?"

Meng Da smiled and said, "I came back on a dragon beast, and it brought me back."

"Okay, okay, how many days will you stay at home this time?"

"Leave tomorrow."

"what?"

The old couple was stunned: "Tomorrow? So early?"

"There's no way. We're seriously short of staff right now and I can't handle it at all." Meng Da said helplessly.

The old man was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you a healing hygienist? Didn't the TV say that the siren is hibernating? Why are you still so busy?"

"Hypothermia epidemic, many people along the coast have contracted this disease." Meng Da said.

This cold disease that has recently spread along the coast keeps people's bodies at a low temperature and cannot generate any heat, causing them to die in their sleep.

Even if people are placed in a high temperature environment, their bodies will still suffer from hypothermia, and they will become drowsy and no one knows in which dream they will die.

"So scary?" The old couple was surprised, and then relieved.

Fortunately, my son is a magician.

My son has basically never been sick since he broke through the intermediate level. I guess this kind of hypothermia can't harm the noble magician!

Meng Da noticed his parents' expressions, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, mages can also get this disease.

Even fire mages, who are natural furnaces, are no exception.

There's no need to say it, because it will do nothing but make two more people worry.

······

"I counted the data of the patients and found no signs of infection. There was no pattern among them."

At Xu Fang's house, the pot on the induction cooker was bubbling, beef and mutton rolls and meatballs were flying, and the tripe was the same color as the sky.

Lingling gulped down a mouthful of iced milk tea and said excitedly: "But I have sorted and arranged the people who have never been sick and found this city————"

"Lan Yang!"

"No one living in Lanyang City has contracted hypothermia! It's as if they are born with hypothermia antibodies!"

Lingling clapped her hands: "The virus doesn't care where you are from. If you want to know the truth, you have to go to Lanyang to find it! And!"

She excitedly poked the screen of her phone and held it in front of her: "I hired a team of hunters to explore in advance, look what I found!"

The background of the picture is a city, which is a prosperous city with a sense of age. In the center of the picture is a factory with a sign on the factory gate.

Lingling click on the picture to enlarge the logo.

"Ah!" Jiang Shaoxu screamed and recognized it at a glance: "Totem pattern!"

"That's right!"

Lingling said excitedly: "And it is an extremely rare feather series. Many totems of this type can possess a person. It is ancient and powerful!"

Lanyang is worth exploring.

"I'll go." Qin Yuer said with a smile.

"I'm going too!" Jiang Shaoxu signed up enthusiastically.

"Where's Xu Fang?" Lingling picked up a meatball with her chopsticks and snorted, "If he must go, I can consider it..."

"He can't go." Jiang Shaoxu said, "He is with my father, practicing."

Jiaodong Bay.

On the vast sea covered by pieces of floating ice, there is a twisting and wriggling island floating.

The island is purple, and if you look closely you can see that it is made up of some kind of plant vines, but compared to ordinary plants, it has a bit of the weirdness of an ocean octopus.

Xu Fang sat on a seat made of woven plants, with several main plant veins extending from his body.

It is obvious that this plant island is his masterpiece.

Rumble...

The plants are trembling, twisting, and entwining.

Subsequently.

boom! ! ! ! !

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the sea water was suddenly lifted up at this moment, and the boundary between heaven and earth became so blurred and chaotic.

The originally calm ice sea instantly turned into a turbulent sea of ​​huge waves.

The huge waves towered into the clouds like endless mountains. Driven by the strong wind, they rushed in all directions with the force of thunder!

Phew~~~~~

The blue wind blocked a wave that was rushing towards the land.

The one who took action was Jiang Chong. He used wind magic to shatter the waves and looked at the young figure emerging from the mist.

"How about it?"

"Failed again." Xu Fang shook his head.

The plant system, after absorbing the power of the flesh, blood and soul of the Blue Abyss Sea Devil, pushed forward to the super level three with great momentum.

In order to make this breakthrough, Jiang Chong once again prepared a resource for Xu Fang, whose value was no less than the Core of the Earth of the Elemental Magic System!

But Xu Fang failed again.

Just like the last time the Arctic broke through the ice system, there was obviously enough energy to penetrate the star sea barrier back and forth twice, but every time the collision occurred, energy would burst out and dissipate into the spiritual space.

This energy directly mixed with the ice energy, and there was nothing inside it either. Neither the golden stars nor the power of faith could communicate.

"Don't take it seriously. If forbidden spells were so easy to break through, the streets would have been filled with them," Jiang Chong said.

Xu Fang smiled helplessly.

My father-in-law is really good at comforting people.

Although he usually likes to act like an elder and reminisce about the past, he really gives resources when he has them!

Resources that were enough to cast two forbidden spells were "wasted" like this, and nothing was said. It's easy to imagine how much pressure was behind this.

————If my own son were here, he would be beaten up and called a prodigal son!

The two men tacitly avoided the heavy topic.

"Here you go."

Jiang Chong held a piece of letter in his hand and handed it to Xu Fang.

It was the first time that Xu Fang wanted to use the word "luxurious" to describe a piece of letter paper. It really looked like a piece of spiritually crafted art, as if woven from gold and silver threads.

There’s even a circle of tiny pearl gems on the back that form a sacred mountain emblem.

"This is?"

"Convocation of the Tongmenghui." Jiang Chong said.

Xu Fang opened the letter and took out a piece of paper that looked like an invitation, which had a line of golden text on it.

"Huaxia—Xu Fang."

"We, the Alliance of Magical Associations of the Five Continents, will never send an invitation to any wizard easily, because we believe that wizards are free, and being unconstrained is what they deserve."

"But as you said in your speech, facing the ocean crisis together is what every mage should do. Refusing at this time is tantamount to cowardly avoiding battle."

"We have a great plan that requires your participation. Please do so if you care about the survival of the global human race as much as we do."

"The Alliance of Magical Associations of the Five Continents."

Xu Fang read the letter carefully, without even missing the signature.

The Alliance of Magical Associations of the Five Continents, this name is actually not that well-known.

But if one mentions another department directly under this organization, people will suddenly realize it—the Forbidden Spell Society.

The Forbidden Spell Society summoned Xu Fang.

"I haven't received any information about this plan. I can only find out from the Chinese Forbidden Spell Society. The mission is presided over by a Forbidden Spell Master from China." Jiang Chong said.

A letter from the Alliance stated that any registered magician must obey the call unconditionally.

Any false excuses are useless. As long as you become a magician and have your own name in the Magic Association, you cannot refuse such signs.

This is not a request, it is an obligation.

"This letter comes from the highest magic associations of the five continents. Even if it is to recruit the Speaker, he has to go." Jiang Chong frowned: "In this case, the Forbidden Spell Association is allowed to bring some companions, or I can transfer a few people..."

"no need."

Xu Fang shook his head and refused.

It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something really happened, having someone nearby would delay Xu Fang's fight to the death.

"At least the people leading the mission are Chinese, don't worry." Xu Fang said.

It has been more than a year since the trip to Kunlun. If things really don't work out, Xu Fang can still rely on Sha Yuan to save his life. It is very safe.

······

Before leaving, Xu Fang wanted to call Jiang Shaoxu, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.

If Jiang Shaoxu knew about this, she would definitely not agree to let me go alone, and would definitely interrupt her totem journey to accompany me. There is no need for that.

The meeting point was set on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

This is a typical ghost reef, with layers of heart-pounding scenes covering its surface:

Silt and rotten seaweed intertwined into a huge, sticky green carpet, spreading over every inch of the land, exuding an indescribable smell of decay.

As the waves gently hit the shore, waves of dark silt were lifted up and slowly fell down, merging with the rotten seaweed that had already piled up like mountains on the shore.

These seaweeds are either tangled into balls or scattered on the ground. Their colors have faded from bright green to dull yellow-brown, and some have even turned into black humus.

The most horrifying thing is the corpses of sirens in various shapes scattered everywhere.

Their skeletons were exposed in a hideous manner, their flesh had long been eroded by sea water and time, and some still retained the indescribable appearance they had in life.

Bad luck visible to the naked eye.

Most of the people in the Tongmenghui have holes in their brains.

Even if you don’t understand fortune-telling, this kind of ghost island is a standard background for horror adventure movies!

The only thing worth mentioning on this island is the powerful magic barrier on it, and the bone garbage inside has been cleaned up and melted away.

"Xu Fang."

A man in a magician's robe came over and looked Xu Fang up and down with a proud and critical look: "It doesn't look that good. It doesn't have the beauty of our Western sculptures at all."

Xu Fang: "You have?"

"Of course!" The magician said proudly, "I have a noble family and bloodline..."

“Western sculptures are all little Gigi.”

"···What did you say?"

"You too."

"you!"

"In China, only dogs are considered to have bloodlines. The higher the bloodline, the more problems there are."

"Oh yeah, are you a man or a woman? I can't tell, is it an armed helicopter?"

The combination of trash talk and the emotional influence of sound magic made the guy in front of him blush. His face and the back of his neck turned the color of liver, and he was so angry that he was about to die.

It can be seen that he really wanted to eat Xu Fang alive, but he still forced himself to suppress his anger.

"I just like to see you being upset with me but unable to do anything about it."

Xu Fang grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said in a tone that sounded extremely smug: "Come and hit me."

"Shit!" The mage was broken by Xu Fang's continuous and intensive trash talk, and his eyes seemed to want to eat Xu Fang.

Xu Fang looked at him (her) encouragingly.

Kangmao, Kangmao baby.

"Okay Pablo, you can leave now."

The space twisted, as if a door had opened, and a figure appeared out of thin air in front of them: "Councilor Xu, follow me."

Xu Fang raised his middle finger like a primary school student before leaving, which made Pablo so angry that he almost choked on his breath.

······

Xu Fang followed this person through the space door and came to an indoor environment.

It was a bit damp, and had a musty smell due to lack of ventilation. There wasn't even a window around it. It was most likely a cave underground or even inside a mountain.

It is very simple, without any magnificent atmosphere, but everyone here exudes an air of majesty, which is the invisible aura of the forbidden spell wizard.

"My Lords, Xu Fang from China has arrived."

Everyone looked over.

Xu Fang was also looking at them at the same time, and the cave fell into silence for a moment.

"Now that everyone is here, let's talk about our mission this time." said the old man sitting in the main seat, with ice mist wrapped around his body.
