Chapter 57: Separation
"Boss, they shouldn't be okay, right?" The cold air swished straight to the back of Regner's spine, and even with the Fighting Qi Protector, his thin body was frozen enough, so he looked trembling when he spoke.
Anne Lot turned around, and the girl still did not have any uncomfortable reaction in the low temperature of more than minus 30 degrees, and the cotton robe on her body was still as white as snow.
When I saw Regner, whose lips and fingertips were slightly purple, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, Ragner and her physique are different, minus thirty or forty degrees does not have much effect on her, but for Ragner, who only has a sixth-level Douqi Protector and only wears a leather armor, it is piercing cold.
This was the third day they had come to the Frozen Snow Mountain, and as they continued to go deeper, the temperature kept dropping, but fortunately, everyone was well prepared in Snow Rock City, so the journey was quite smooth.
But the accident happened two hours ago.
Two hours earlier, they had arrived at the location marked on the map where the first millennial snow lotus might exist.
It was a huge bottomless cave, probably because of the special minerals contained in the frozen snow-capped mountains, and the walls of the cave always shone with a pale blue light, ie
There was no sunlight, and the inside of the cave was still clear.
Since the cave was too deep and there was no map, Kordaq decided to explore the cave entrance and leave as soon as possible if nothing was found, after all, it was easy to get lost in a cave with the same terrain.
But just as the four of them were about to rest, a three-meter-tall snow troll suddenly came out.
In the past, Kordak's squad would never have had the confidence to hunt an adult snow troll, but with the addition of mid-level mage Annelot, they consider themselves strong enough to fight the snow troll.
And the truth is indeed as Kordaq expected, although the snow troll is infinitely powerful and strong, but it does not have too good magic resistance. Kordak dragged the snow troll with his shield while Annelot behind her blasted at the monster, and if it weren't for Annelot's mastery of water spells, she would have been able to wreak havoc on the snow troll with a scorching ray alone. The situation was a good one, but it was all shattered by the arrival of the second Snow Troll......
When the second snow troll appeared, Kordaq chose to retreat without hesitation, one was already the limit, and it was impossible for them to face two snow trolls at the same time. The next half hour is a story of escape and pursuit.
Eventually, Regner and Annelot managed to shake off the two roaring chunks, but they also found themselves seemingly lost with Kordak at some point.
At this time, the two had been walking in the cave for more than an hour, but they never said a word, and finally it was Regner who broke the silence.
In fact, until now, Anne Lot was still a little worried about Regner's "voyeurism", but she also knew that now was not the time to make trouble, so she replied:
"I don't know, the snow trolls are terrifying, but they are not physically flexible, and it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of them with Kordak's mind. ”
"Ah, that's good......" Regner rubbed his almost numb arms.
Anne Lot stared at Regner, who was trembling slightly, and finally said with some hesitation: "You...... Is it cold?"
"Huh?" Regner was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's okay! It's not cold, I'm used to freezing when I was a kid." ”
In order to prove that he really has no problem, he deliberately pulled the corners of his stiff mouth to show a relaxed smile, but his gaze was a little erratic, and Regner did not dare to look at people when he lied since he was a child.
The white cotton robe appeared in his sight, and Anne Lot had already taken off her cotton robe and handed it over, and now the girl was only wearing a light blue magic robe, and her beautiful body curves loomed under the robe.
"Put it on. Anne Lott said.
"I'm really fine!" Regner patted his chest, signaling that he was in good shape.
"Wear it, if you get frostbite, it will become a burden to me, so I wear it if I don't want to drag it down. Anne Lot seemed to be a little disgusted by Regner's death, and her tone suddenly became a little harsh.
The girl's sudden momentum obviously jumped Regner, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, but still asked, "Then aren't you cold?"
"I don't need to. Anne Lott frowned, obviously impatient with Regner's mother-in-law.
"Alright then......" Regner was no longer verbose, and if the girl was really angry and left him here, he would have to close his eyes and wait for death.
The soft and comfortable cotton robe also carried Annelot's body temperature, which made Regner's heart flutter. And this is still in the case of low temperature affecting the sense of smell, if he will smell the girl's unique faint body fragrance again, then I believe that under the dual effect of body temperature and body fragrance, Regner's mind will swing to the point that he can't stop at all.
Anne Lot immediately guessed something when she saw Regner's fleeting lewd expression, she glared at Regner with some shame, and strode forward with a cold snort.
Regner, on the other hand, coughed twice in embarrassment and hurriedly chased after him.
"Are you really not cold?"
"It's not cold. ”
"Why? Isn't the mage's constitution weak?"
"I have a special physique. ”
"Huh? Why?"
"It's none of your business. ”
"Hey, we're all teammates, tell me about it. ”
"I don't want to say it. ”
"It's going to be nothing to do anyway, let's talk about it. ”
"Give me back the robe if you are verbose!" said Annelot, raising her little eyebrows, and a little angrily.
She found that the guy in front of her was even more difficult than Alex, and every time Alex was coldly scolded by her, he would shut up and stop being bored, but Regna seemed to be completely unconscious, and his face was as thick as the corner of the wall of Meteor City.
Seeing Annelot's somewhat annoyed expression, Regner suddenly grinned: "It's much better than just now." ”
"What did you say?" Anne Lott felt that the guy was a little nervous.
"I said you're much better than you were just now. Regner explained: "You've had no expression on your face since the first time I saw you, and although you were always polite and polite, it always made me feel cold. Look how good it is now, with expressions and tones, this is the state that a girl should have...... Well......"
Ragner suddenly couldn't speak, as Annelot's frown gradually eased, and her face returned to its expressionless expression. He couldn't figure out whether his words had made her happy or her off, but his instincts told him it was better not to say it again.
Anne Lot gave Regner a cold look, then left him behind and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
Regner, on the other hand, didn't dare to ramble any more, but just followed behind with his head downcast, so he couldn't notice the faint smile in Annelot's eyes at this time.
"Oh, let me see, aren't these the two of you in the inn that day?" a familiar voice sounded in front of the cave.
"Deville!" the smile in Annelot's eyes suddenly dissipated.
......
Compared to Regner, Kordak and Vera were clearly in a much worse situation, and the two snow trolls chased them all the way, and eventually the two were chased to another hole. While the two of them were rejoicing that they had finally escaped from the damn cave, they were desperate to find that the opening was not on the hillside, but on the edge of the cliff!
There were two furious snow trolls in front of them, but in front of them were cliffs of unknown depth, which were either torn and eaten, or jumped down to gamble. So in the end, the two of them gritted their teeth and jumped off the cliff.
Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Cordak and Verardo fantasize that they can dance in the wind like snowflakes, but the evil gravity pulls them back to the harsh reality, and they end up in the snowdrift, unconscious.
......
"Kordak, wake up my brother. I don't know how long it took, in the seemingly endless darkness, an incomparably familiar voice sounded.
"Who? Who's talking to me?"
"It's me, don't you remember me? I left you not long ago, wake up quickly. ”
"Wake up? Why? I'm so comfortable now. ”
"No, you can't just go to sleep, Vera is dangerous right now, she needs you. ”
"Who are you?
"She's in danger right now, she needs your help, you're going to save her. This is what you promised me, I asked you to save her from the orcs, you did it, but I also asked you to take care of her. She's dangerous right now, and she's going to die if you don't wake up! Are you going to break your word? That's not your character. ”
Kordaq finally remembered whose voice it was, but he didn't expect the man to be so long-winded.
Yes, I promised him that I would take care of Vera. But where was this? Where did his voice come from, wasn't he dead? Why didn't he come to Vera's rescue? Didn't he know that he was really tired right now?
Ever since he was gone, Cordak felt that he had always had a stone in his heart, and he couldn't eat or sleep. Yes, he was worried, he was worried that he was not capable of protecting Vera, he was worried that he was now bleeding werewolf blood that was not accepted by humans, and he was worried that he would have nothing to rely on when he left Vera and Regner after his death.
So he has been working very hard these days, Vera and Regner don't know that he has been frantically studying his information day and night in the days before the decisive battle with Orwin, and they don't know that he has saved a huge amount of money for them in the bank, and he doesn't know how much pain this werewolf blood has caused him, although he has been grinning at them nonchalantly, but in fact, he is not happy in his heart.
It's still good before, you can discuss anything with someone, and if something goes wrong, you can carry it together. But now he is the only one left, he has to study the mission alone, study the route alone, and bear the pain of being a half-werewolf alone.
Kordaq felt so tired that he wanted to sleep for a while, even for a while. But he couldn't, and he didn't dare, because there was a teenager who regarded himself as an omnipotent boss, and a woman who had relied on him for seven years by his side.
If he relaxed now, he couldn't imagine what the two of them would do with their lives after he left. So, you still have to wake up, you still have to get up, you still have to struggle, you still have to work hard!
"Wake up, my old friend, you won't let me down. ”
"Where are you? Come back!
"Selenos!" Kordak sat up suddenly, the snowflakes flying on his face irritating his nerves and causing his numb hands and feet to gradually return control.
Cordak was still clutching Vera's left hand with his right hand, and when he turned his head to look at it, he couldn't help but turn pale.
A small patch of scarlet caught his eye, and they stood out against the snow. Kordaq remembered that Vera had been scratched on the back by an approaching troll when she was running away.
Because they were in a hurry to escape for their lives at the time, the two didn't have time to think about this, and now it seems that even if Vera was not seriously injured at the time, the impact of running for a long time and jumping off the cliff could tear the wound into a serious injury.
