Seven days later. 「」

At the mouth of the Ice Knife Valley, a rare non-freezing stream in the Northland slowly winds out of the valley, and a large amount of floating ice collides in the stream, making an occasional clicking sound.

The long crystalline ice hangs from the trees on both sides of the stream near the mouth of the valley, but it is noticeably sparser and thicker than that on the trees far from the valley, and from time to time some melted ice water drips from the ice hanging, indicating that the temperature inside the valley is much higher than that outside the valley.

A short figure wearing a long cloak and a hood that made it impossible to see clearly, leaning on a thick dead branch, walked out slowly, breathing heavily and spitting hot air, showing that "he" was in an unpleasant state.

"Finally out of ......"

Lin An pulled up his hood, and several ghosts appeared in the stream and snow-covered woods in front of him, his eyes were blackened, and there seemed to be a flame burning inside his body, and the coldness brought by the snow water in his stomach just now had long disappeared.

"This plane's illness is fierce enough," she said to herself with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that the first illness in this plane would be at such a fatal time." ”

The brain was dizzy, and the hands holding the branches were a little weak and trembling, Lin An knew that this was because after falling from a high place, bleeding and recovering from the body, the vitality in the body had been consumed to a limit, so that the recovery force of this body would be in an extremely low state before it was replenished enough—in short, it was no different from ordinary people. 「」

This is why Lin An once again tasted the long-lost taste of illness.

Feeling out a radiant stone, Lin An sat cross-legged on the ground and held it in his arms, feeling a shock in his spirit, and seemed to be a little restored.

But Lin An knew that this was just an illusion - the high-purity crystallization of the light element of the light stone, but the properties of the light element. It is by no means the "sacred" as the gods of the Holy See call it, but it is an exclusion, just as light rejects darkness, rejects filth, rejects impurity.

The light element can help her resist the deterioration and ** of illness in her body, but the root of her state lies in the consumption and loss of life force, which is what the light element cannot give, which is why civilians often need herbal food to replenish after receiving the holy water treatment from the priest when they are sick.

In contrast, the healing power of the positive water element and plant element is better than that of the light element. Because the water element is an indispensable element in the human body, and the attribute of the positive attribute of the plant element is germination. It can promote the production of human vitality.

Therefore, if there is a positive attribute of natural power now, Lin An's situation at this time can be cured. 「」

It's a pity that the power of nature with positive attributes has long been consumed, even if it is the power of nature with negative attributes, in order to resist the wind when going down the cliff. It has already been consumed, and it is precisely because of the natural power of the previous negative attribute that the vitality in the body is overdrawn. It was only then that she fell into her current situation.

However, Lin An did not regret it, at that time, if she didn't use the power of nature, she was afraid that she would have died of massive blood loss due to the shock injury of her internal organs, the wound could not be healed in time.

The sloppy spirit condensed slightly, and Lin An pulled his spiritual power to the space arm. What can usually be done with a single thought, but now it needs to be done with concentration, and the gap is wry, making Lin An curse in his heart for the 10,000th time that made her fall into such a situation.

A young leaf covered with big red spots of beans and three fingers wide appeared in Lin An's hand, and a faint plant fragrance floated on the tip of his nose. There is also a slight spicy hint in the fragrance.

Lin An didn't look at it, and directly stuffed the leaves into his mouth. Then his lips were tightly closed, for fear that he couldn't help but spit it out: after the slight bitterness, it was rich and spicy and slightly sour--used to being a blood tonic, but Lin An never knew that the main herb of the blood tonic was so difficult to swallow when eaten raw!

But it is really effective, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, Lin An felt that as the dregs juice was swallowed into the esophagus, his physical condition was relieved a little, and the burning sensation that seemed to be boiling with molten slurry subsided a little. 「」

"I've eaten three slices, and there's still two left—"

When the medicine is used, there is little hatred, there is the power of nature, Lin An never thought that he would be stumped by the illness one day, at this time, he calculated carefully in his heart and sighed slowly.

"The ice field is too big, I'm afraid this little thing won't last long, I'll have to do everything I can - fortunately, I've already left that cave, even if that guy teleports back to me, he doesn't necessarily think that I will stay nearby, and he will definitely look for the nearest fortress from here...... In this way, even if he recovered, he couldn't rush to the nearby fortress so much, at least he had to stagger the time...... Hey, it would be safer if you could get farther out of here......"

Lin An thought in his heart for a while, raised his eyes and looked around, and when he saw the ice-free stream not far away, his heart moved, and something that had been thrown into the deep corner of his memory suddenly came to mind.

"The things left by those apprentices in ancient times can still be used, all of them are strange tools, and at that time, I thought it was a rare water tool, so I took it with me just in case...... In other words, the Sobik era is tens of thousands of years away, but those things still look like new, and they should still be usable...... Right? ”

***

Two days later. 「」

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell......

The bell tied to the neck of the snow mastiff rang with the sound of scattered footsteps.

The snow mastiff stopped by the stream, looked down and sniffed, and suddenly raised its neck and whispered twice, its fluffy fur trembling, like a majestic lion beast.

In the scattered footsteps, a light footstep hurried, and a young male voice shouted with a hint of excitement:

"Keep up, Dorjee seems to have discovered something!"

"Hey, it's nothing more than some snowcock gopher buried in the ground for the winter, and it smelled it and dug it out - is there still a demon in the rear defense line like ours?"

An old voice said unhurriedly, and his pace still sped up a little, but it was because he thought of the aroma of the meat after the snow chicken was cooked.

"Hey, it doesn't seem to be, you see that boxy thing that is frozen in the ice above the stream, what is it?"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, and followed a few steps.

"It's so boxy, it's like a lump of metal!"

"It's hollow, otherwise how would it float on the water...... How does this shape look a bit like a coffin? The young voice seemed a little timid. 」

"Idiot, who would make a coffin into a piece of metal and have no decoration at all!" The old man said, but he was also a little nervous.

After a pause, the old man said again: "In the upper reaches of this stream, I don't seem to have heard of any battles." ”

He looked at what appeared to be a coffin of metal, which was covered with a thin crust of ice, the lower half of which was frozen together with the surface of the ice, frozen solidly, and had apparently been here for a short time.

For a moment he also felt that this thing appeared strangely, and there seemed to be no opening on it, so he hesitated a little, thinking whether to go back to the military station and report it - as for the recruit next to him, he could not be counted on, he had only just arrived, and he didn't even remember the nearby terrain clearly, but his personality and mouth were too active.

Just as he was thinking, the snow mastiff jumped on the ice, ran to the metal lump in a few steps, sniffed east and west, and the two forelimbs were on top of the metal block, sticking out his tongue and looking back, and the two pointed ears hidden in the mane stood up and kept shaking.

"Dorjee is back! Obedient! "The young recruits are in a hurry.

The veteran saw that this was clearly Dorjee's appearance when he found a living creature!

"Don't talk, there's something hidden in there!" As soon as the veteran pulled the recruit with him, he asked him to pay attention to his vigilance, and as soon as the words fell, he heard a strange noise.

The old and new soldiers froze suddenly, and Dorjee also snorted, retracted his forelimbs violently, and his hair exploded!

Aggressive!

Two more strange noises came, clearer than before, and no doubt from the "coffin", and there seemed to be a faint and muffled voice.

"Who! Who's there! Come out for me! ”

The two of them and a dog were all on guard, and the veteran raised the tip of his spear and pointed at the "coffin", and at the same time shouted loudly, confronting it.

After a while.

"It's like you're shouting for help!" After nervously tense for a long time, he listened with his ears pricked up for a while, and the recruit said with some uncertainty.

……

“…… I overslept, and when I woke up, the opening of the boat was frozen to death, and I couldn't pull it open until you got me out. ”

By the campfire, a young man in his early thirties dressed in a dark blue robe, with a pale face and a slightly sharpened chin, explained helplessly to the two "life-saving benefactors" in front of him.

"What a man! Try to build a boat, and you can almost suffocate yourself! Nibbling on the dried beef offered by the other party, the recruit thought he was good enough to whisper.

"Shut up!"

The veteran slapped it over, turned his head and looked at Lin An with a smiling face, "Hehe, from a small place, I've never heard of a mage, I don't know what a character like you can do!" ”

The veteran is somewhat knowledgeable, although he has never seen a mage, but he feels that the easy-going adult in front of him does not seem to be as unattainable as the legend, and in addition, they did save the life of this adult who was almost suffocated in the "ship" before, so it doesn't seem to matter much if he is a little presumptuous in front of this adult-

In other words, an adult is an adult - and will enjoy it!

-- This piece of beef jerky stained with refined salt is probably no worse than the one on the table of the aristocratic lord!

Lin An, who brought the "illusion of Aegis", carried the bonfire, smiling, and amiable.

"By the way, I've been flowing down the river for so long, and I don't know where this is, can I find it back......"

"Oh, the place where we rescued you is already a tributary of the Kas River, a small and remote place, and there are dozens of people stationed at one of our military stations - but our fortress is the famous Grant Fortress, and no one knows about it within a hundred miles, you don't know, right?"

"It's Grant! Hehe! Hehe......"

"Speaking of our Grant history, we have to talk about the first generation of the Blue Iris family......" (To be continued.)
