Chapter 39: Homecoming

Where is this?

Tsukizakura walked in the darkness, unable to see the way she was coming from, unable to see the way she was going, unable to hear a sound, unable to smell a smell, and the only thing she could feel was the solid ground under her feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no temperature on the ground, and it is a little uneven, and it feels quite comfortable to step on, and because of this, Tsukizakura found that she was not wearing clothes, and she was completely naked.

Where's my clothes?

Tsukizakura thought as she walked forward.

I don't know how long I walked, but it wasn't until Tsukizakura was about to get tired of this dark feeling that he began to think about what kind of place this was.

Before, it seemed like I was sleeping?

So, is this the dream?

Yueying's thinking circuit is very simple, and she suddenly thinks that she is in a dream, but it is more real. After all, he had done a lot in his dreams before, and it wouldn't be too strange to run to some strange place now.

Since it's a dream, then just wait for it to wake up, and Yueying, who is thinking like this, sits down on the spot.

Still, what a strange dream, there was nothing but darkness. In the previous environment, it was much more colorful.

Tsukizakura touched the ground, and suddenly felt a little familiar to the touch.

What is it?, Tsukizakura thought as she touched it.

Then, he remembered what this familiar touch was.

It's bones, it's the bones of the dead, it's the bones of the dead......

[Did you find it?] A voice suddenly sounded in his head.

Tsukizakura opened her eyes suddenly, and what she saw was a gray-black ceiling.

He woke up, lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and his hands were cold.

It may be that she has been in a dream for a long time, and after sleeping, it is basically equivalent to not sleeping, and Yueying still feels very sleepy.

Because he had just woken up, Yueying was still a little confused, so he sat on the bed and began to recall the memory of coming to the Ice City Fortress.

They were very lucky, there were not too many accidents along the way, and they returned to the Ice City Fortress smoothly, because of Alice's relationship, although Blue Moon's condition has been deteriorating, but there is no worry about their lives for the time being, so they persevered until Mr. Marlos's treatment.

Because of the overnight rush, as soon as the moon cherry blossoms were led to a resting place, they immediately fell asleep, originally wrench also wanted to visit the fortress, but in the face of the strong sleepiness, they couldn't do anything.

And then, that's where it is.

The others were nowhere to be seen, and he was the only one in the room - no, there were others.

The two little heads were all in the only window of this room, and when Tsukizakura looked over, they disappeared immediately.

Listening to the footsteps, it should be a very young child, probably too curious, to peek at the extraneous Tsukizakura.

Tsukizakura shook her head and got out of bed.

The temperature in the room was not so low, at least Tsukizakura's fingers were still sensitive, and after putting it on, Tsukizakura pushed open the door.

The main material used in the construction of the fortress is black rock, which looks like unsmelted iron from a distance, which is also the origin of the name of the Iron Fortress hundreds of years ago. But now it's snowing everywhere, and it's freezing in many places, and it's making a gurgling sound when you step on it.

Around a corner, a huge living space appeared in front of him.

Even inside the fortress, the temperature was low enough to make people shiver, and the ordinary residents who came and went were tightly wrapped from head to toe, and few people with their faces could hardly be seen.

A bearded uncle sitting in the corner looked at Tsukizakura with his eyes full of, biting the jerky with his dirty yellow fangs that had been stored for an unknown amount of time, and Tsukizakura was worried that the next time the uncle's teeth would crumble because of the hard piece of meat.

But fortunately, until the uncle finished gnawing on the piece of jerky, the state of affairs that Yueying was worried about did not happen.

"Yo, wake up. ”

Yue Ying looked in the direction of the sound, it was the wrench, and Lin Mingfeng, Alice and Pei Lang, they were forming a circle, squatting in the corner of the aisle, looking at the piles of playing cards in front of them, it seemed that they were playing ghost cards again.

The reason why it is a ghost card is not another poker game is because Pei Lang is also playing, and he only draws ghost cards.

"I slept for a long time?"

"Hmm...... It's two hours longer than us, so it's not a good thing to do, just play this. The wrench replied, "We're all ready, just waiting for you." ”

"Huh, what about the Blue Moon?"

"It's all like that. Lin Mingfeng glared at the wrench unhappily, the latter had just drawn one of his three of hearts and made a pair, "But the priest said that the state is getting worse and worse, and it won't take too long." ”

When Yueying heard this, she immediately shouted, "Then what are you waiting for!

The rest of the people rolled their eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that Yue Ying couldn't get up, they would have been on the way home, but Yue Ying was the captain after all, so no one else would expose it.

Returning to the resting room, packing up, under the leadership of Pei Lang, several people went all the way down to the gate of the first floor of the Ice City Fortress, here, there were already two sleigh cars waiting, Blue Moon and Ferdy were already sitting on it, and Mr. Marlos next to the sleigh saw them and raised his hand to say hello.

"Blue Moon, are you awake?" asked Tsukizakura as she trotted over and climbed the railing of the car.

Blue Moon nodded, but didn't speak.

Ferdy next to him hurriedly said: "The master can't speak now, I'm sorry." ”

"Can't speak?" Tsukizakura looked at Mr. Marlos, her face full of question marks.

"It may be that the magic of the rampage is affecting the body...... Although the exact situation is not clear, not being able to speak is not a big problem. "Mr. Marlos means very clearly, it is more important than not being able to speak, the body of the blue moon that will collapse at any time.

"There's not much I can do, and even though I'm a priest, I don't know how to heal myself, and I've never been exposed to this kind of illness caused by a magical rampage. Mr. Marlos explained as they left their luggage, "But now Miss Blue Moon's condition is a little more stable, but she must be sent to the hospital immediately for treatment, if it is delayed for too long, even the goddess will not be able to do anything." ”

Tsukizakura nodded and climbed into the back seat of the sleigh cart, and the rest of the people also got into the car one by one, waiting for the hunter who was driving.

"I still have something to do, so I won't send you personally. Pei Lang held out his hand to Tsukizakura, "If you want to come back, this place will always be open for you." ”

Tsukizakura shook her hand and said embarrassedly, "I don't really want to come back...... It's too cold here. ”

Pei Lang smiled and said, "It's going to be warmer in the summer." ”

"Hmm...... Let's see if you're free. ”

Mr. Marlos shoved a small cross into Tsukizakura's hand. "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been here, this is my token, just give it to Mr. Verus. ”

Wrench let out a sigh, "Proof of mission accomplished!"

Mr. Malos nodded, a smile squeezed out of his thick face: "Chief Darren has agreed for me to stay here, and your mission has been well accomplished." ”

Pei Lang continued: "Father Marlos's technique is very important to us, and Chief Darren's illness also needs him, and we have no reason to refuse. ”

In the midst of laughter, Yue Ying suddenly remembered something, he looked at the people around him, and said suspiciously, "What about Wen Yu?"

Pei Lang showed a strange expression and said, "He can't come. ”

"Is there something wrong?"

“…… Well, how do you say that? He compares that ...... Shy, sorry. Pei Lang said embarrassedly.

Tsukizakura didn't care, but the wrench touched her chin with interest, muttering strange words like "tsundere, love".

"Anyway, our hunters will send you to the vicinity of your destination if you need supplies......"

"No, no, we've got enough supplies!" Tsukizakura didn't want to eat those dry scavenging insect jerky anymore, and the compressed biscuits tasted better than that.

Everything is ready, and when everyone is in the car, it's time to go. As with the previous habits, Moon Sakura and Blue Moon Ferdy have one, and the other three have one, Pei Lang's car is larger than the previous one, and the three of them sit on it very spacious, and the hunting dog as a power source is also very spirited, and it is very reliable at a glance.

"Have a nice trip. ”

"May the light guide your paths. ”

The hounds began to drag the sleigh forward, and Mr. Marlos and Pei Lang grew smaller and smaller, and after crossing the bridge in front of the fortress, they were never seen again.

The checkpoint, which takes several days to reach on foot, is available in less than a day due to the sleigh ride.

In the place where they can see the checkpoint, Yueying and they got out of the car, the hunter has ancestral training, and he can't get close to here, although it will waste some time, but after all, it is someone else's custom, and Yueying can only accept it.

Before leaving, several people handed over their backpacks and supplies to the hunters, they didn't need these, it was better to do personal favors, not to mention that it was not their own thing, and they didn't feel distressed if they sent it. Regardless of the medicine and some tools in the bag, the backpack alone is a good tool for hunters.

Although the hunters have a strong fighting ability, in such a place where supplies are scarce, their conditions are too poor, and Tsukizakura feels that it is a little bit to be able to help.

Finally, after an hour-long hike, they returned to the level.

The level is the same as before leaving, except that it's not snowing. In front of the only door, Tsukizakura knocked hard, and after a while, Jairo's head appeared in the peep window of the door.

"Yo, you're back alive. ”

Tsukizakura said, "Well, the mission is done, let's get over." ”

"Anyway, you guys look so embarrassed......" Jairo said as he opened the door, "and how could there be two more?"

"She's sick and needs a doctor. Tsukizakura began to lie without changing her face.

"Sick?" Jairo looked at the blue moon on Ferdy's back and then at Ferdy, "And who is?"

"I am a subordinate of my master. Ferdy replied honestly.

The wrench had covered Ferdy's face with a scarf, and with a hooded coat and cloak, Ferdy now looked like a tall human.

"That's ...... It's not a contagion, is it?" Jairo sniffed.

"If it's really an infectious disease, aren't we all going to get sick?"

With the wrench, Yue Ying and Lin Mingfeng hurriedly put on a "I am strong" pose.

"Yes. Jairo nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”
