The geist did not appear for several days, and the dark clouds that had hung over the head for the whole winter gradually dissipated, and the snow turned into water. The Sunset Mountains are filled with the sound of tinkling dripping water, which then converges into streams, which rush to the bottom of the mountain with a roaring waterfall.

Fortunately, there is a river called Puasa that carries the snow and sends it south and east to moisten the vast land.

"I always thought that the moat of Icepeak Fortress was always dry. Feige stepped on the unmelted crushed ice and slowly walked out of the gate of the fortress that had not been released from the blockade. He was holding a slender rope in his hand, and at one end of the rope was a toy mouse made of cloth. Midnight cautiously followed behind, seizing the opportunity to pounce on it. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it fails, but it's happy whether it succeeds or fails.

"You're walking the cat again, it's better to train it than to train yourself, you're too idle. "Kylie was standing on the downed drawbridge, methodically undressing. In front of him, the moat was filled with water made of melting snow, clear and clear, but absolutely cold and biting. "Come, come down and wash together, it's good for the body. It is also to welcome spring. ”

"I don't want to catch a cold, I'd rather take a hot shower. Feige shook his head and quickly refused. "Do you want me to make a fire for you, so you can quickly warm up when you come out?"

"Of course that's good. Kylie was already naked, revealing a muscular but scarred body. He looked at Feiqi, his eyes focused on Feiqi's new bracelet, a chain made of tiny red coral stones strung together on a white rope, and on the chain hung the Goddess's Thunder Cross emblem. Kyle pointed to the bracelet and asked, "Lord Snowy Owl is sure you're making the new Divine Advisor to the Fortress?"

"Yes, he gave me this string of stones, and appointed me thus. But I don't understand the responsibilities of the Divine Advisor, is it really just about handling letters, getting paid more in the mission, and taking people to pray?"

"Of course, what do you think? Or if you want to, you can add one: take the lead in ice swimming. ”

Keled threw away his clothes, pinched his nose, and jumped into the water. The moat is splashed with ice and cold, but a sturdy body is overcoming the cold to welcome the arrival of spring. "Feige, I'm in the water, where's the fire?"

"Don't rush, just a while. ”

Fitch throws away the rope and throws the cloth rat to Midnight, then turns and enters the fortress. Walk through the gate and enter the small urn city, where there are stables and piles of firewood and grass next to the courtyard. It was covered by snow for almost a winter, and when the snow melted, it got a little wet, but you can still find dry firewood. Feige picked up some and dragged some dry grass, and when he returned to the gate, he found a few more people.

Giles, Tron, Witch Mama, and Ramsden returned. Ramsden was the most enthusiastic, rushing up and giving Feige a big hug, smashing firewood and hay all over the ground. He exclaimed excitedly, "I knew you were all right! neither winter nor geymers could kill you!"

"Of course, of course, let it go, or I'll tell Kyleon that you're fatter than before the winter, and see if he gives you more training!" Feige greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone responded enthusiastically.

Cale peeked out of the water and spat out a jet of water, and Witch Marma quickly dodged it, Giles probably felt a bit embarrassed to dodge the ice water, so he let his boots get wet. He glanced down, sighed, and said, "Go unload first." ”

The four of them had returned with two carts, and the horses that had been taken away from the fortress before the winter had returned, in a long line. The car was piled with barrels and boxes, covered with canvas and tied with ropes, mysteriously. These things were to be sorted out and put into storage as soon as possible, but Cale stopped them, pointed at Feiqi and said, "Don't go yet, Feiqi, show them a hand!"

"Actually, it's nothing. Feige closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in a state of eagle eye meditation. At this time, he can focus on multiple objects at the same time, and he can also perform multiple mental transfer objects "SUA" in turn, continuously initiating and combining more complex group movements. Under his command, the firewood scattered on the ground gathered together and built on top of each other, leaving a gap in the middle for the hay to fly in last. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the emblem on the bracelet jumped into his palm, glowing with the magic spell, followed by a spark of lightning that ignited the hay. A gust of wind blew, the flames began to rise, and the pyre slowly burned.

"Wow! this is so beautiful!" Ramsden crouched down near the fire and cautiously reached over: "It's hot!

"It's a terrible observation. "Kylie always finds a problem.

"Became a priest?" Giles noticed the emblem on Feich's wrist, nodded slowly, and said two words: "Good thing!" Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked into the fortress without saying a word.

Tron walked over with his shoulders hunched and reached out over the fire, grabbing the first to start enjoying the warm baking sensation. "Whew, the snow is so heavy this year, there is water everywhere along the way, and the wind is too cold. Feige, Lord Giles has something to report to Lord Snowy Owl, otherwise I'm sure you'll see you show more of your skills. I'm sure you've learned more than that, this winter, right?"

"Actually, that's just it, you already know about moving objects, and the rest is to glow, ignition, discharge, and drink others. But I don't have a clue about the most critical healing techniques, so I can't be called a priest yet. ”

Feige's main focus is magic, not magic, and his slow progress is only relative to himself, and if you compare it to all the new priests in the Church of Truth Thunder, he is not lagging behind - and certainly not a genius. His strength lies in the terrifying amount of knowledge: the common sense and alchemy of Fitch Hall, the study of human society and the philosophy of the devil by the fork in the road, the long-term education and information age insights that Yan Rui brings from Earth. The stronger the foundation, the smoother the learning will be.

However, he still hits a wall: he uses magic to heal the wounds of others. Maybe this is not "order", but "kindness", so he, the devil in his heart, has not been able to perform healing magic until now.

"It's okay, you're so smart, it's just a matter of time. While roasting the fire, Tron tilted his head sideways to observe Feiqi, and then said, "Feiqi, I'm going to catch the Horned Winged Demon Beast, can you help me?"

"Of course, do you still need to ask!" Feiqi nodded vigorously: "Where is the Horned Winged Demon Beast? Who else is going, do you need to prepare anything?"

"Everybody's going, but I think the four of us are enough. ”

Feige pouted into the moat, "Aren't you calling Lord Cais and Lord Giles?"

"It's one thing to think, it's another thing to act. We ......" Tron looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "When we were hiding from the snow in winter, we encountered something very strange in the town of Collingwood. Although it is not related to the Ice Peak Fortress, it is very likely to be related to the fortresses of other goddesses. I reckon the official monster hunters are going to be busy with this. Oh, Feige, you're official, too, but I'm ...... I think I'll send you to help me complete the enhancement ritual, and the others will investigate. ”

"It's a mess, and the most important thing is not clear. What the hell happened to you?"

Cayle must have heard Tron's words, so he ended his ice swim, and with the help of buoyancy and agility, climbed ashore in two by three, and approached the fire. Ramsden took Master Kellet's clothes with great discernment, and took a cloak from the carriage and used it as a towel to wipe his body.

"Be specific. Cael said to Tron, "What strange things have happened to you?"

"We met a bunch of fake monster hunters who said they were the new trainees at Fort Gujian and were very friendly and friendly, but I thought they were fake. Although there are some years when there are people in Fort Gujian who come down to escape the winter and meet us in Collingwood, I passed by Fort Gujian in July when I was looking for the Horned Winged Demon Beast and stayed there for two days. They are two new students this year, who are only eight years old. If you want to escape the winter, why didn't those two eight-year-old children come, and four adult ones who look like they are either warriors or assassins?"

"They look like assassins, then they're not very good......

"Feiqi, that's what I thought at first, I guess those people are clumsy liars trying to cheat money from the villagers under the guise of monster hunters. We've met quite a few of these people before. Tron sighed and eased before he said, "But it's careless to think so." I debunked them, and those two guys who looked like assassins were spellcasters and caused us a lot of trouble. He created fear in our hearts, making my hands and feet cold, and my movements all out of shape. Ramsden was so frightened that he ran around the yard, and only Wu Mama seemed calm. ”

"Actually, I was scared in my heart, but I just pretended not to be afraid. As a result, when they saw that I was not afraid, they thought I was very good, so they all came towards me and scared me to death......"

Kele glared at Wu Mama: "Speak in a normal voice, don't be a woman." I didn't get beaten all winter, did I forget that?"

Wu Mama shuddered, quickly coughed twice, and said in a thick voice: "Thanks to Lord Giles joining the battlefield, and Ramsden's brave play, we turned the situation around at once, and finally killed the four of them with only a few minor injuries. ”

"Ramsden's brave play?!" Feige's eyes widened, "I have to talk about this!"

Tron suddenly looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I'm really scared, Wu Mama is scared but looks fine, Ramsden is...... He was not afraid at all, and pretended to be afraid of running around. He found an opportunity to stun a spellcaster from behind with a short stick hidden in his body, and held another under him. So we immediately established an advantage, and then we won. ”

Ramsden rubbed his nose and said humbly: "It's not that I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that I'm used to it, and I should eat, sleep, and sleep, and it doesn't matter." I was scared to run away, but I didn't delay the battle!"

"Well, I see, no wonder you're still fat, it turns out that fear doesn't inspire motivation. This year, it's a different approach: hunger. Kylie's words made Ramsden feel like he was falling into hell, but the instructor didn't care what the little fat man thought, he just wanted the result. "Tron, who are those guys?"

"Lord Giles didn't go into details, only mentioning the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth. We didn't catch a chance to interrogate us because we didn't catch them, but it looked like they were waiting for someone. ”
