Chapter 67: The Hunt

(Thanks to book friends 2018***772, kk_shine Welcome New Friends!", Tears Mu Ling's recommendation vote!)

On the snowy ice field, Claire and Ramsay search for traces of Malthus.

Among the major spell types, the prophecy system is undoubtedly the spell type that is best at finding people. But unfortunately, not to mention Claire and Ramsay, even Charlotte, who is known as a mobile library and has a lot of information, the prophecy system can be called his only shortcoming.

It had been two hours since Malthus's army had crossed the ambush pass, and by this time Malthus's army should have arrived in the Land of Abomination. Sure enough, not long after, Charlotte took the initiative to contact and ask about the reason for the appearance of Malthus's army.

Claire told the truth about the situation, whether to fight or retreat, and decided to take Charlotte's opinion as the standard. However, Charlotte decided to insist, and Claire felt a great responsibility and tried harder and harder to use the Eye of Detection to search the surrounding area. But the search for the next hour was still fruitless, and Claire's mood became more and more restless, and finally showed a look of retreat.

"Forget it!" he slammed the ice wall hard, his face full of remorse and uneasiness, "There is no time left, let's retreat, return to the Land of Abomination to rescue Charlotte, and retreat to Icewind Castle together!"

It was a very difficult decision, which meant that he completely rejected his plan.

He couldn't even imagine the way Charlotte looked at him.

For the sake of his plan, the newly formed Secret Rite must have suffered heavy casualties, and those people are willing to abandon their original identities and cross the ocean with Charlotte, which means that they are the descendants who are willing to give their lives for Charlotte.

Claire felt restless at the thought of how she would get along with Charlotte in the future, and how she would face those strange, even hateful glances at Icewind Castle.

"Do you really want to give up?" asked Villeret. In fact, when she said this, she did not feel relieved. She had already had the idea of retreating, because if she continued, she might cut off Claire's last way of life, but when she saw Claire's stubborn expression, she couldn't say what she wanted to persuade her.

Claire nodded with a heavy face, and the followers behind her were silent.

"Master Ramsay......" Claire turned her head, only to see Ramsay raise her index finger at herself. His heart pounded, and a conjecture that made him excited, but he did not dare to let the joy ferment, for fear that it would be a mirage like a mirage of a sea market.

But this time Ramsay didn't disappoint him, he exhaled deeply, licked his tongue and showed a look like a hunter before he hunted.

"Found it!"

A simple sentence cheered up her followers, and Claire clenched her fists and waved them fiercely, shouting 'Great' in her heart. Except for Willett's uneasy expression, everyone was smiling as if they had won the battle.

"Where is it? far from us, how many guards does he have?" After a brief moment of excitement, Claire asked Ramsey several questions.

"About thirty kilometers, west-north, Malthus and Monlisa, the Guardians are about ......," Ramsay replied as he manipulated the Detection Eye to observe. At this moment, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Oh no! I've been discovered!"

As he spoke, he covered his right eye with his hand, and in a few moments, hot tears oozed from his fingers.

Claire hurriedly supported him and said, "Are you okay?"

Ramsey waved his hand, "Now is not the time to care about me! Malthus has discovered my probe, we must act as soon as possible, it will be too late to ......"

"He's going to shift positions!" Villewlett picked up, "with that bastard's caution, maybe we're already starting to shift positions by now." What should I do? Claire, do you want to continue?"

Claire's face is cloudy, everyone is a legend, if Malthus has the heart to go, one chases and the other escapes, Claire is difficult to catch up even if she is old enough to chase after the world.

But after paying so many sacrifices, the opportunity for revenge is in front of her, how can Claire be willing to give up. From the point of view of reason, it is really wise to retreat now.

What should I do?, Claire's brow furrowed.

"I'm going to stop them!" Ramsey rubbed his right eye and said flatly, "I'll use the time and space spell to hurry, leave marks along the way, and you guys will catch up immediately!"

Claire's eyes widened in surprise, and it took a moment for her to say as if she understood the situation, "But that's too dangerous!

"There's no time to think about it that much, I agreed with your plan at the beginning, if you retreat like this, how should I explain it to the Chief?" Ramsey changed his usual elegance and showed a fierce expression like a trapped beast, "Don't underestimate me, Master Claire, you just have to keep up!"

With that, he pushed Claire away and used the flashing spell to disappear from Claire's vision.

Violet sighed, knowing that at this point there was no possibility of repentance. If Claire doesn't go headlong into the dark and let Ramsay go into battle alone, then his friendship with Charlotte can no longer be maintained, not to mention the deep relationship between him and Charlotte, that is, in terms of interests, Willett also thinks that this is an unbearable loss for Claire.

She didn't need to look at Claire's face, she directly ordered her followers, "Act now!"

Claire was very pleased with this move, and he gave Villerlet a grateful look and said, "Then I'll go first, and you will follow them later." ”

"Claire......!"

Before Villette could finish speaking, she saw Claire use her flying skills and rush in the direction of Ramsay's escape. She let out a tangled sigh, finally retracting her outstretched hand.

Having spent years with Gloria, Villerite knew that the people they had in common were the kind of people who decided something that would never change. However, this may also be the reason why Gloria never took Malthus seriously during her lifetime.

Claire followed the trails left by Ramsay, and after about ten minutes, he gradually saw the traces of the battle. An iceberg has been cut by a sharp blade, leaving a smooth section about 40 degrees, and the sharp peaks of the upper part fall diagonally on the glacier, smashing the surrounding ice into pieces. The crooked peaks are buried in heavy snow, but there is not the slightest trace of snow on the half of the iceberg, and it seems that there was a widespread avalanche after the iceberg was cut open.

In addition, the corpses of several banshees were buried in the snow, their bodies twisted like twisted flowers, others split in half like icebergs, and neatly cut off.

Even if you don't sense the magic energy in the air, you can tell that this is not a miracle that nature can do. Claire perked up and knew that he was not far from the battlefield. There is no doubt that Ramsey completed his mission, and he tangled the other party before Malthus fled.

Although the mark left by Ramsey was cut off here, to this extent, Claire could easily determine the direction even without relying on spells. He followed the traces of the battle all the way west, and soon, in the distance, he saw the sky overheaded with black clouds, even obscuring the aurora that he could see not long ago.

He approached the area quickly, and only realized the nature of the cloud when he got closer. It wasn't some dark cloud, it was the overwhelming black feathers of the Banshee King, Lisa.
