Since then, there have been many events of one kind or another that are not suitable for being recorded. All in all, four days later, on the twenty-third day of the twilight month. Alice and Lydia finally crossed the Grey Swamp Fortress, which had been taken over by the Imperial Legion. Came to the western part of the Snowman. Before the vast wilderness known as the plains of Gutal.

Of course, before that, you have to go around the huge rock mountain in front of you.

Although the Ash Swamp levels are managed by Imperial Guards rather than by the Snowman Guard, this makes Alice feel a little strange. But instead of spending her brain thinking about these events that obviously had little to do with her. She prefers to focus on Lydia.

I really saw her unexpected side.

Alice shook her head, sinking into the depths of her mind some of the memories she didn't want to be remembered. Quietly tugging at the reins of the horse, he distanced himself from Lydia a little.

"Miss Alice, shall we go north or continue west?" cried Lydia, aboard a pale yellow pack horse.

"Further west we will reach Loristed via the ancient Gikal battlefield, and if we go north we will have to go through the Great Forest, then the Western Wasteland, and if we want, we will cross the Cold Rock Mountain Road to the territory of Mosar. Where do you want to go?"

Alice thought for a moment, then responded, "Go as planned, let's go west to Loristted and then go north." ”

"Then we'll have to be careful. It is said that the road has not been smooth lately, not only wild wolves and robbers, but even lone giants preying on the road. Lydia cocked her fingers and said earnestly.

"Yes. Alice replied nonchalantly.

"If you meet them on the road, just kill them. ”

She was confident in her strength, especially after taking out a dragon and humiliating the entire upper echelons of Snowman City from beginning to end.

It's almost overflowing.

If you don't pour some cold water on her, the tail will probably be able to reach the sky, if anything.

"Not that way, Miss Alice. Lydia waved her palm exaggeratedly, and said to Alice very seriously: "Although you killed a dragon, it doesn't mean that you are invincible, there are many powerful monsters in the sky, if you have always thought like this, you will fall in the small ditch one day!"

"For example?"

"Hmm......" Lydia pursed her lips in thought, then replied. "Like the Hydra Lord of the Northern Swamp of Mosar, the Frost Spider Mother Emperor Kronwange of the Eastern Geyser, and the Frost Elemental Monarch of the North Sea. They've all survived several epochs, and their terrifying legends have been passed down to the present day!"

“…… Do you dare to name one that is a little closer?"

"Let me think about it......" Lydia thought to herself as she tugged at the reins of her horse, "It is said that someone saw a multi-headed water demon on the shores of Lake Irinatta in Phocles...... The Holy Blood Peak in the southern mountain range of the White Land also has a group of flying dragons...... Why isn't it in the snow?"

While she was thinking, she unconsciously approached Alice, and by the time Alice came back to her senses, the two were almost going to stick together!

[It's too close!It's not what I want!]

Alice suddenly pointed to the horizon and exclaimed, "Look! there's something flying over there!"

"What is it?" Lydia quickly turned her head, and at the end of her line of sight, a faint golden thread flashed away.

[There's really something flying over!?]

"That...... I guess it's some powerful wizard. ”

"All wizards in Skyrim fly?" Alice tilted her head slightly—she hadn't searched her memory bank for any flying spells.

"Not really. Lydia narrowed her eyes and said, "It is said that the wizards of Wintercastle developed some kind of magic guide that can carry people to fly quickly decades ago. But that's very demanding for the operator, and it's also expensive. And after using it once or twice, it will break. She turned back to Alice, who was already a horse ahead of her, and said, "Generally speaking, it is only used in the most urgent situations. If it is used casually, even with the financial resources of the high-level wizards of Wintercastle, it is impossible to afford it. ”

"Ah~ That's it. Alice thought thoughtfully.

[Maybe you're running for your life?]

Before I knew it, another small streamer of light streaked across the clouds in the sky. But this time it was not seen by the two.

Because there was something else that attracted them.

"Huh?" Alice turned her head suddenly.

[There is a kind of ...... Strange feeling ......]

The girl's heart was beating violently, and the blood was rattling like a tide.

Her eyes quickly turned pale gold, and with a 'puffy' sound, a faint flame of light suddenly appeared all over Alice's body.

"Miss Alice?" Lydia startled, "are you alright?" ”

The light on her body faded little by little, and it was restored as before. "No, it's just a very bad feeling. She frowned and stared intently in the direction of the west-Loristed.

"Now, Lydia. Alice said softly: "In the territory of Xueman, there should not be two dragons at once. ”

………………

The strange feeling quickly faded completely. Just like when it arrived, there was no trace. And yet it has had a big enough impact. For a long time to come, the little adventuring party was enveloped by an uncomfortable silence.

Lydia tried to tell a joke to open the subject. It's a pity that her level of amusement and Alice's cooking skills are almost on par. Naturally, there was no result at all.

From here, it takes about three days to reach Loristed. If this situation is maintained, it is quite bad.

It's going to be boring to death!

Just as Lydia racked her brains to find a way to open the topic, Alice's gaze inadvertently swept over the weeds and grasses on both sides of the road, and a vague figure instantly caught her attention. She shouted softly and jumped off her horse. "Lydia, come here, it looks like someone is hurt. ”

"I'm coming!"

After some scrambling, the two finally saw the appearance of the person lying in the grass.

It was a young woman with dark red skin, dressed in a shabby tavern waiter's suit. There are traces of restraint on the hands and feet. She seemed to have suffered greatly, and her brow furrowed even in her deep sleep.

There was no obvious trauma, it should have been a coma caused by prostration after a lot of exercise, and lack of water supplementation.

"Huh, this person...... Kind of familiar!" Lydia snorted softly, "Isn't this the Red Guard acolyte inside the mare's banner! She was snatched out of the snowy city by a group of samurai just a few days ago. I didn't expect her to escape!"

"We have to save her!"

Lydia pressed a few times under the Redguard's nose and took out the jug to moisten her lips. Soon, the woman who had been motionless reacted and let out a low snort.

"I have to prepare some medicine and food......

At this moment, Alice patted Lydia on the shoulder and said, "I'll deal with it next, I'll try to heal her with spells." And you ......," Alice pointed to the hills and grasses to the north. "You go deal with them. ”

Lydia then stood up, drawing her steel sword from its scabbard and walking in the direction Alice had pointed out. Over there, several tall figures were approaching from the hills.

The Redguards, warriors of Acville and inhabitants of the Falling Hammer Province, are skilled in combat, wielding curved broadswords.

"Stop!" shouted Lydia, "You can't come!"

The tallest Red Guard raised a hand to show that he was not hostile. He stopped the rest of the warriors, and then shouted about thirty paces away from Lydia, "Girl Nord, we have no ill will. Please put down your sword. His voice was gentle, and it sounded quite sincere.

Ladia lowered the blade slightly, about two fingers high, in response to the Red Guard's request, and she continued, "You have already disturbed my lord, now step back and I won't bother with you!"

"Of course you can. He gestured to the Red Guard woman lying on the ground, shrouded in Alice's healing spell, "But that woman is a major criminal who has fallen the hammer, please hand her over to us, or pretend that you don't see her, and we will leave at once." He added: "Whatever your master asks, you can do so." ”

"That's not going to work. Lydia shook her head, "The people you're going to arrest are the inhabitants of Snowman. I can't just leave it to you. ”

"She's a cunning traitor, and she's betrayed an unknown number of people. Your master may have been deceived and let me tell her. ”

Lydia pursed her lips, but she didn't believe it at all. "If you want to get through here, hit me first! ”

He shook his head helplessly and beckoned to a warrior behind him: "Temunar, you go." Don't hurt her. ”

It seems that there is a battle to be fought next.

Lydia shifted her shoulders, focusing on the Red Guard warrior who was walking towards her.

With intuition, the opponent's combat power should be on par with her. It's a good opponent for her.

Lydia knows very well that her combat power is far from the current Alice, and if she really encounters an enemy who Alice also needs to cheer up, then she should not even be qualified to get close to the battle group. Then, her value lies in dealing with such a level of roles that are comparable to hers.

Now, she's going to do what a personal guard does.

Lydia let out a low cry and pounced!

PS: Testing...... For the role Alice uses third-party plugins. System decided to increase the difficulty by one difficulty, from [Epic] to [Abyss]. New monster number jù has been loaded.

PS2: I hate foreshadowing
