61 CHAPTER 61
"Ezreal and Lydia? It's been a long time~" Hanji, who has a messy chicken nest all year round, saw a man and a woman walking down the stairs in the hotel from a distance, and immediately beckoned excitedly. ( The fastest update of the pen house)
"Uncle Hanji?" Lydia recognized the person at a glance, and was a little surprised, "Could it be that you are the guide that Landa said?" β
"Ah, that's me. When I heard that old man Randa talk about it, I couldn't believe it was really you! Hanji smiled and approached and patted Ezreal's arm, "I was worried that I wouldn't recognize you, but Ezreal, you really haven't changed at all!" β
Ezreal's face blackened, can I beat him?!
As soon as Lydia heard Hanji's words, her head was full of black lines, and he really couldn't open any pot! While this is true, it is important to know that Ezreal hates people saying that he hasn't changed at all. Because of the difference between the two space-time timelines, Ezreal has hardly changed over the years. It is precisely because of this that the distance between the two seems so deep.
Lydia subconsciously grabbed Ezreal's arm, of course not!
Ezreal glanced at Lydia, endured and endured, and swallowed back the urge to scold in his heart.
The three of them walked towards the place where the carriage stopped, and Hanji was still chattering unconsciously with emotion, "But Lydia has really become a great beauty." β
"Uncle......" Lydia was helpless, and her pretty face was dyed with a faint red glow.
"Haha, speaking of the bet I made at that time, I still won!" Hanji led the carriage and laughed as if he had suddenly remembered something.
Lydia got into the carriage first, and when she heard Hanji say this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What bet?" β
"Uh...... This ......" Hanji stood up and glanced at Ezreal hesitantly.
This glance suddenly gave Ezreal a bad premonition, and Lydia still urged herself, "Say, what bet?" β
"It's a bet on whether Ezreal likes Lori. Declare in advance that I only heard about it, and I didn't initiate it! Hanji quickly finished speaking, and cleared himself, and looked at Ezreal cautiously, "Because at that time, so many girls in the city secretly promised you, even Miss Dela, the next heir of the Mercenary Guild, was very interested in you, and I didn't see you interested in anyone, as long as you appeared, they stayed by Lydia's side...... So ......"
"Hahahaha......" Lydia laughed all over, it couldn't have been funnier!
Ezreal stepped into the carriage and almost fell off the air, his face already darkened.
Hanji smirked and urged the carriage toward the Kona Mountains.
In the carriage, Lydia's stomach hurt from laughter. Lydia tried to stop when she saw Ezreal's face, but it was really beyond her control!
This bad girl with no conscience, Ezreal looked at Lydia who was laughing, and said with a disgruntled face, "It's so funny?" β
"Okay, stop laughing." Lydia sat down next to Ezreal and rubbed it flatteringly, and then couldn't help but grow demonic little sharp horns, "Have you really started liking me since then?" β
Ezreal had an idea, smiled and reached out to pinch Lydia's cheek, and pulled evilly, "What do you know, brother, this is called long-term investment, what is important is your potential value!" Aren't you now a beauty with big breasts, a thin waist and long legs, stupid girl~" After saying that, his eyes swept over Lydia's delicate curves, looking at Lydia who was instantly arrogant, Ezreal gave herself a hundred likes, I am so witty~
Lydia was full of bullishness, silently scratching the wall in her heart, and would never do this kind of face-slapping thing in the future.
After a morning of carriage travel, Lydia and Ezreal finally reached the Kona Mountains in the afternoon.
After getting out of the carriage and saying goodbye to Hanji and walking to the town of Kona, Lydia looked at the passers-by and couldn't say anything at all. Along the way, Hanji tells Lydia and Ezreal a lot of things that have changed over the years.
Due to the melting of snow and ice in Kona Snow Mountain, the living environment has become suitable for the survival of most species and rich in resources. So there are a lot of animal groups that have migrated here. And without the hindrance of wind and snow, many mineral deposits can be mined, attracting many people to develop here.
The entire village of Kona also took advantage of this opportunity to develop and become wealthy, so that the current town of Kona was born.
"It's changed so much, or I really don't recognize it." Lydia looked at the crowd center, and the shouts of roadside vendors selling hides and tools were endless.
"Let's go, let's find a place to settle lunch first, and then go to the mountains in the afternoon." Ezreal took Lydia's hand and went looking for the restaurant.
"Hmm."
Just as Lydia and Ezreal were about to leave the diner after eating, a little boy rushed in and went straight to a middle-aged man who was eating at the table diagonally opposite, the man was dressed as a hunter, "Uncle Mario, why hasn't my dad come home yet?" Why did Mom say Dad would never come back? Why, didn't Dad go to the snowy land with you, and why didn't he come home yet? The little boy burst into tears.
Lydia and Ezreal froze at the same time, and sat still. There is only one place that would be called the Snowy Land, and it is the destination of this trip to Ezreal and Lydia.
The hunter known as Mario turned pale, and "Andre ......" was probably the little boy's cry that affected the people around him, and many people turned their eyes to the two.
Mario had no choice but to settle the bill in a hurry and take AndrΓ© out. Ezreal and Lydia also settled the bill and followed. stopped the uncle and nephew in a hurry in the alley.
"Who are you?" Mario subconsciously protected AndrΓ© behind him.
His actions immediately made Lydia's impression of him rise a lot, and she smiled lightly, "We don't have malicious intentions, we just heard you talk about snowy regions." Actually, we're getting ready to head out for the snowy region, so imagine you're asking about the situation. β
Hearing the words "snowy land", Mario's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly persuaded "Don't go!" Can't go there! β
"What's going on?" Ezreal raised an eyebrow, it seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.
With Mario's narration, Ezreal and Lydia learn what happened. It turns out that in the entire Kona Mountains, the closer you get to the main peak, which is the snowy region, the more abundant the material resources are. Mario and Andrea's father are both hunters in the town, and their lives have become more difficult due to the increasing number of outsiders gathering in the town of Kona.
A few days ago, the two decided to venture to the edge of the snowy region to see if they could get something out. Andre's father suddenly hears a cry for help and steps into the snow despite Mario's dissuasion.
Mario waited from morning to night on the periphery and didn't see him come out. After that, he waited every day at the place where Andre's father left, but he didn't wait, and then he guessed that Andrey's father was probably killed.
"Cry for help?" Lydia frowned in confusion, "What's going on?" β
"I don't know, it's a woman's voice." Mario's face turned pale, "It doesn't sound very far away, that's why Andre's father wanted to say go and see." β
Woman? What's going on here? Ezreal and Lydia looked at each other, feeling that things were getting more complicated.
"Do you remember that place? Can you take us there. β
"Do you still want to go? That place is too wicked......" Mario screamed.
Andre was very happy, "You're going?" Can you help me get my dad out? β
"Andrey!" Mario scolded.
"It's okay, we're just going to see what's going on." Lydia glanced apologetically at Andre, "I'm sorry. β
Andre's eyes turned red, and he angrily shook off Mario's hand and ran away.
Mario hesitated, but agreed. On the same day, Lydia and Ezreal were taken to the site of AndrΓ©'s father's disappearance.
Standing on the mountain road, looking from a distance, the two worlds of green cages and green vines and silver are distinct, and the landscape is peculiar.
"From here there is snow." Mario looked at the two of them hesitantly, and stopped talking, "Are you really going......"
Lydia took out a bag of money and handed it to Mario, "Thank you for bringing us here, let's use it as a guide fee." β
As a hunter, Mario's most common thing to do besides hunting is probably to help people guide the way. Naturally, it can be seen that the identities of the two people in front of him are not simple. He didn't take the money "I don't want the money......"
"Take it, we will save what we can." Ezreal interrupted Mario, and he had a good impression of the affectionate man in front of him.
Mario thought of Andre, accepted the money, and turned to leave.
Lydia and Ezreal turned a corner along the mountain road, and the snowy land appeared in front of them completely.
"Flowers? ...... out of the snow"
Lydia crouched down, only to realize that the pure white that had just caught her eyes was not exactly snow. Unknown palm-sized flowers swayed in the wind, supported by only a slender branch, no leaves and snow-white, as if all the color had been drained, but it was strangely tough.
"Dirt down there." Ezreal brushed aside the snow on the surface and tried to pull out a flower, the bright red roots of which were particularly eerie.
Lydia stroked the goosebumps that came out of her body, "It's really a creepy place." β
Not long after the flower in Ezreal's hand left the soil, the whole flower froze, shattered, and patted away the ice chips, and Ezreal looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, "Sort of." It's a bit annoying. β
Sighing, Lydia took out the map, "Forget it, let's see where we are." Belch...... How could it be ......"
"What's wrong?" Ezreal probed over, apparently surprised, "It's here." β
According to the map, Lydia and Ezreal are now located in the same place where they encountered the Frost Wyvern. In other words, they were near the entrance to the mountain in the first place?
"What the hell is going on here......"
"Tricks?"
"Huh?" Lydia followed Ezreal's line of sight, the flowers that had just been plucked by Ezreal were already growing in place, and if she didn't look closely, she wouldn't have noticed this small detail, after all, there were so many flowers here, who would pay attention to this group of innocuous tweeds.
"So, is that probably why those people went missing?"
"It's possible, but it's not absolute."
"Well, let's get completely prepared first." Lydia took out the materials she had brought with her to draw the magic pattern, and the Nightmare of Dreams immediately turned into a golden red crystal pen.
On the dividing line between the flower and the road, dipped in the star sand, Lydia drew a six-pointed star base array, in the center is an open eye, constantly changing materials one by one mysterious symbols were added, and finally three drops of her own blood were dropped, and at the moment of completion, it was hidden in the air
"So you don't have to worry about it, True Eye. When you come back, just follow the signposts it gives you. Lydia clapped her hands and stood up, and the Nightmare of Dreams returned to her hands as streamers.
Ezreal nodded, "Then get ready to go." Let's take a look at the entrance at that time. β
"There?" Lydia remembers seeing that there were many openings inside, which meant that there must be more than one entrance, so why did she go out of her way to see them.
"Well, if the intersection we entered in the first place hadn't been destroyed, the other intersections would have been fine. If it's destroyed, there's no need to look for another entrance. Ezreal pondered, "If they weren't in that area, then Dina and the others would most likely be going to the old dynasty site on the other side." β
