I'm not a magician

Ji Chi didn't know much about Tidal Moon, he only saw a few words about it in the background of the Northern Wolf King's boss.

According to historical records, every seven years, the flawless full moon will rise to the top of Beast God Peak, and the blood-red mist will shroud the bright white moon, filling the border fortress with a chilling bloody aura.

Whenever the blood moon is in the sky, the berserk beasts will be even more violent. They gather under the frozen fortress along the hillside, cross the fortress desperately, rush into the snowfield like a tide, and wantonly destroy everything they pass along the way.

This bloody tide will not recede until the full moon is white again.

No one can say for sure the duration of the tidal moon, but it is undeniable that over the years, the blood mist has been shrouded for longer and longer, and the berserk beast is like an endless sea, washing away waves of the expeditionary army A solid line of defense.

Ji Chi sat on the edge of the ridge, looking up at the bright moon above the peaks.

This was the eighth day he stayed in Snow Wolf Valley. The bright moon was hanging on the top of the Beast God Peak. There was already a faint blood mist lingering on the moon, dyeing the pure white snow layer on the ground of Snow Wolf Valley into an ominous light red.

"It's very late, why don't you go to sleep?" Lei Ze's clear and gentle voice came from behind, and he held a burning torch and sat beside Ji Chi.

The torch is made of tallow, animal skins and branches. It crackles and emits a pungent smell when it burns. Lei Ze couldn't bear the strong smell of smoke, so he stretched out his arms and stuck it in the snow in the distance. on the ground.

"Are you going to go hunting with them tomorrow?" Lei Ze propped his upper body half up with his arms back, looking at the weird moon above his head with Ji Chi.

Ji Chi hummed, and raised his hand to look at his palm: "I went to the patriarch, and he told me to kill a hundred wild beasts with sword skills first, and then challenge him... Tsk, what are these old men doing?" It's all so annoying."

In his complaint, Lei Ze obviously also thought of Professor Joseph who was far away in Saint-Terry, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already discovered that the patriarch and the professor don't trust you, but just want you to become stronger. to be more able to cope with adversity.”

Ji Chi squinted at him: "I know, I know, Teacher Lei Ze... By the way, what is your next plan? Do you want to stay here, or—"

The smile on Lei Ze's lips faded for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up again mockingly: "Of course I'm staying here. It's enough to do things beyond our control once or twice, and we can't rely on you to save me every time."

"That's why I came to you tonight." Lei Ze turned sideways, took the long sword that Sylvia gave him from his waist, and handed it to Ji Chi with both hands, "Since it was originally a set of double swords, it should be I leave it to you, let's fight with everyone's hope, Wolf Knight!"

Ji Chi clutched his forehead and turned his face helplessly, with red ears: "Don't say that, it's too high school..."

Lei Ze waited for him to take the sword, and looked back at his feet. The Snow Wolf Valley under the moonlight was peaceful and peaceful, with little fires scattered in the rift, like flame flowers blooming in the valley.

"Actually, even if I have the ability to fight with you, I will choose to stay here." Lei Ze frowned, "I have been following my father these days, and I often see orcs who are seriously injured and dying are sent to his cave."

"My father said that for so many years in Snow Wolf Valley, what he fears the most is not the tide of beasts in the tidal moon, but the sudden increase in the number of seriously injured orcs before and after the tide of beasts. His ability is limited, and he can only choose a few of them to save them. …Isn’t this cruel?” Lei Ze smiled wryly, “What’s even more cruel is that sometimes the rescued orcs will not only not thank my father, but will be even more sad and depressed, because they will think that they have robbed their friends or partners lives survived."

After hearing this, Ji Chi felt heavy in his heart.

If the Snow Wolf tribe didn't have to stick to the snow-capped mountains, they could go to the nearest town and spend a few gold coins to buy some blood-enriching potions, so they wouldn't have to watch their familiar people lose their breath forever.

Lei Ze shook his head and continued: "So I want to stay here, at least... If I can save one more person, I will save one more choice. I hope everyone can survive."

Early the next morning, Ji Chi met Isaac at the door of his cave.

Today's Isaac needed a beating as usual. He waved a new sledgehammer nervously, startling an early-rising orc cub not far away.

Ji Chi took a serious look at his gray-blue eyeballs, and asked, "Can't you really change back into a beast shape?"

Isaac tilted his head and touched the snow wolf beside him: "I already have a snow wolf? It is my animal shape."

"Is that so?" Ji Chi mused, "I thought you were another breed."

Isaac was curious, so he stopped swinging the big hammer, and Baba leaned forward: "What, what? Is there a species more majestic than the snow wolf?"

Ji Chi: "Yeah, in my hometown it's called a Siberian Husky, and it's very prestigious."

Isaac had never heard of this name before, and he thought it sounded good after reading it over and over again. He laughed and laughed for a while, and ran to show off to his rival as soon as he ran away.

Ji Chi, who was left behind, shook his head, as expected, he just let go, just like Erha Yimao.

He walked along the suspension bridge to the upper stone wall. Today's hunting team will gather outside Snow Wolf Valley. There are many little orcs in the team who are hunting for the first time. They are so excited that they have been riding on Snow Wolf On the little partner, footprints of plum blossoms are left on the smooth snow.

The orc who led the team this time was Archie. He didn't ride on the back of his snow wolf, but stood firmly on a rock with a big sword on his back.

His snow wolf was standing on the snow beside the rock. The front and rear legs on the right side of the snow wolf were broken. At this time, they were supported by simple joints connected by branches. It was very difficult to walk. Painful, but its expression is very calm.

There is more than one team that goes out to hunt every day. Some tribesmen pass by Archie, and they all raise their eyebrows in surprise, wave and say hello, and turn their heads to communicate with their companions in a low voice after walking away.

"Archie led the team today? Is he finally willing to come out?"

"I think he has started to say hello to Mr. Rachel recently. He should let it go. After all, his brother has been dead for seven years."

"Hey... If Lei Ze came here earlier, maybe both of them could be saved."

"Who's to say that, but for Mr. Rachel, neither of them would have been able to get back."

"That's right..."

Ji Chi followed behind them, listening to these words, looked up at Archie on the rock, and finally put the medicine in his hand back into his pocket after rubbing it for a few days.

He knew that there was a high probability that Archie would not use potions, and such stubborn people liked to use their own pain to make up for the guilt in their hearts.

The last ones who came to gather were Isaac and Simon. They came here fighting all the way, dragging a long trail of billowing snow dust behind them. Their snow wolves were very quiet, walking side by side behind them. The relationship depends on the It looks quite harmonious.

Archie frowned, and stepped forward to beat the two crazy teenagers: "Restraint! Follow the team closely later, getting lost in the snow-capped mountains is no fun."

The two rivals looked at each other, then turned their heads away humming.

Isaac wiped the glistening sweat from his forehead, found Ji Chi, and said to him, "Don't worry, this is not the first time I've been out hunting, and I won't get lost this time! It's absolutely fine for you to follow me!"

Ji Chi raised his eyelids absently and glanced at him: "So how many times has this been your first hunt?"

Isaac: "...Although it is the second time, but..."

Ji Chi: "Oh, so I lost it the first time, rounding it up means I lost it once?"

Isaac: "...Why do you say I'm so unreliable..."

The hunting team's hunting place today is a gentle foothill on the north side of Beast God Peak, not far from Snow Wolf Valley, there are not many wild beasts, and there are many caves to escape the snowstorm.

Isaac was a little disappointed, the foothills were too peaceful, and he couldn't be sorry for his newly built big hammer at all, he grumbled and complained: "No way... only rabbits can be killed there, I still want to hunt A moose came back and fed the clan for days."

Simon snorted contemptuously: "Come on, you are lucky if your hammer can hit a snow mouse."

The two quarreled and fought again.

Ji Chi didn't want to see the kindergarten children spitting on each other, so he walked quickly to Archie's side.

Archie's face was serious, he looked around vigilantly, and when he saw Ji Chi approaching, his expression became softer: "I heard from the patriarch that a hundred wild beasts are easy for you, so don't worry about the number Come on, fight with them for a while, it will be very useful to improve your sword skills."

While leading the way, he taught Ji Chi some fighting skills. Archie understood that this young man is talented and persevering. What he lacks is time. As long as he is given enough time to hone, he can become the sharpest sword.

"This is the foothills on the north side. Wild beasts usually sleep under the snow layer. Pay attention to the bulge on the ground, and don't fight too many wild beasts at once." The hunting team came to a gentle terrain. Before letting the little orcs go free, he said carefully, "The prey is not the point. The most important thing for you today is to learn how to fight against wild beasts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac couldn't wait to swing the hammer, and smashed it hard in front of a snowdrift like a small hill.

"Roar——" With the sound of roaring, a two-story-high white bear woke up angrily, raised its huge paw, and slapped Isaac!

Isaac was not afraid either. He rode the snow wolf to lure the giant beast away, and ran away, not forgetting to warn loudly: "I found this first! Don't snatch my prey!"

Simon sneered: "Who would have thought..." As he spoke, his voice paused suspiciously, his eyes slowly moved to the snow wolf beside him, he raised his legs to step on it, and patted the snow wolf's hairy neck: "Go, If we catch up, we will grab him and make him mad."

As soon as Archie finished giving instructions, the energetic and daring little orcs dispersed with a whimper, looking for wild beasts to attack, and the calm mountain foothills were filled with snow and dust in an instant, and roars lingered.

Ji Chi was too lazy to run away. He woke up a swift snow fox with his sword. He casually wrestled with it. He kept looking at the top of the snow peak. feel.

"Crack!" All of a sudden, the sudden sound near the ear shocked everyone.

Archie also frowned, and said angrily: "Don't make such a big noise! ​​Are you trying to attract all the wild beasts in the whole valley?"

"No, it's not...Uncle Archie, up there, look at the Beast God Peak!" A little orc with less courage said in a trembling voice, and the snow wolf beside him was also trembling.

Archie's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly looked up at Beast God Peak, his face changed wildly——

A roar came from the top of the mountain, followed by tens of millions of tons of milky white snow. The violent movement woke up the violent beasts on the road. They stood up from the snow layer and shook off their bodies. Snow blocks, following the snow waves, swept under the Beast God Peak.

Archie's remaining left arm slowly trembled, his eyes widened in disbelief: "How could there be a sudden avalanche? I'm obviously optimistic about the weather..."

Ji Chi quickly approached him from not far away, with an equally ugly expression on his face: "It's not an avalanche, but the tidal moon has advanced."

Today's sun was extremely dazzling, so no one noticed that a round of full moon was covered by the bright sunlight, and slowly fell on the peak of Beast God, and then it was infected inch by inch by the blood mist.

Ji Chi clenched the two swords in his hand, suppressed the impatience in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "This is just the first wave, send everyone back to Snow Wolf Valley first, and then, I have to meet the Northern Wolf King today! "
