Chapter 43: Opening the Door to the World (5)
On the endless snowfield, four white figures wrapped in heavy coats marched slowly and hard against the sun.
Yades walked in the endless white blizzard for an unknown amount of time, and if he walked silently in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, it would be considered a stroll.
The most unbearable thing for Yades, who has far more physical strength and endurance than ordinary people, is not the long journey under the severe cold and frost, but the unforgettable experience of being stuffed into a large lump of ice and snow every time he wants to speak.
"Hold on a little longer, there will be a supply depot of Ice City not far ahead. The cold wind howling in his ears brought Elysée's voice, and Yades wondered how the polar goddess could speak in such a snowstorm.
"Do you usually travel on foot like this?" Severia also has the ability to speak in the wind and snow.
Elysée said with some emotion: "Ordinary camel beasts can't travel through the poles at all, and there are no native demonic beasts in this world at all, all creatures that are affected by extraordinary power but don't have much wisdom can't live long, maybe you have just domesticated them, and they will die because of the exhaustion of the extraordinary power in their bodies." ”
"I'm going to keep going, when will I get to the so-called white land?" Severia asked, Ardes' question.
Élysée turned her head and said, "So we have built a number of supply stations along the way, which also serve as a teleportation circle, allowing travelers to enjoy the scenery along the way while keeping the distance as short as possible. ”
"Are you sure anyone thinks there's anything to see here?" Severia apparently disagreed with the other party's statement, "It's a white flower, there's nothing, and it's cold." ”
Elysée pointed at the Ades, who was confused by the wind and snow, and said, "You see that Mr. Ades is enjoying these things very much, and he didn't even release a facial shield for himself." ”
The polar goddess obviously didn't read the pain in the other person's eyes.
"Face shield?" Severia glanced at Adès, wondering why the other party had allowed the ice and snow to pile up on her face.
Elysée replied, "A very simple facial barrier, don't you rely on this to keep out the wind and snow?"
"No, I don't know anything like that. "Although the bloodline of this dragon body is very lowly now, the power derived from the body of this fire attribute dragon is still no problem in using it to dispel the wind and snow on his face.
Although they faintly sensed that something was wrong, these two extremely powerful women did not see the problem.
Edwin, who had not spoken, looked at Yades and said, "Mr. Yades may not have a way to prevent these annoying ice and snow from piling up on his face. ”
Yades watched as Edwin kept his mouthparts at bay as he spoke, keeping the ice and snow out of his mouth, and then nodded at Sevilia and Elysée, who were looking at him.
Severia quickly came to him and took the palm of Ades' hand. Yades clearly felt a warm current coming from Severia, and the ice and snow covering his face melted in an instant. At the same time, Elysée raised her hand slightly, as if she had been wiped by an invisible hot towel, and the melting snow was removed at once.
With a refreshed face, Ades couldn't help but take a deep breath of enjoyment.
"After spending so much time together, you don't even know what Mr. Yades is in a difficult situation just now. ”
"Hmph," Sevelia fought back without hesitation in the face of Elysée's accusation, "Just now, I don't know who he said he enjoyed the ice and snow on his face!"
"Alright, alright, let's keep going. Yades, who was finally able to speak, persuaded unappetly.
"As compensation, Mr. Ades, allow me to warm you up tonight. ”
Severia pulled out her right leg, which was buried in the deep snow, and kicked it at the Elysée, before the other man turned around and dodged it.
"You vixen are getting more and more shameless!" said the dragon girl glaring at the other party.
"Just hold my hand and you will never feel the cold. Severia looked at Ades with a gentle expression.
Hearing this, Ades, who couldn't help but shudder, looked at Elysée and said, "No kidding, when will we get to Blizzard?"
Elysée put away her playful look and replied, "Tomorrow before sunset, we will be able to reach the nearest supply depot in Blizzard." ”
"Keep going. Yades said as he looked at Severia, who was holding his left hand.
As the sun sets in the west, the wind and snow begin to subside, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun shines on the pure white snowfield.
The group arrived at the nearest supply depot to the Ice City. The entire supply station is made of huge ice bricks, and this boxy, seemingly designless three-story building, shines with astonishing beauty in the golden sunlight.
Inside, although there is no greenhouse barrier, there is no cold wind blocked by the ice wall, and the flame crystal fireplace located around the building, and the temperature inside is also acceptable.
Naturally, this supply depot had already received the news that the polar goddess would come in person, and the soldiers emptied the travelers stationed inside. This emptying process may not be very satisfying to the travelers inside. But the person in charge of this supply depot called the Ice Outpost naturally doesn't care about these little things.
Although the goddess awoke from her slumber very rarely, and even less so when she came out of the supply station, it was clear that the person in charge was well aware of the preferences of the Avarosa ancestor.
"You and your friends, aren't you really going to spend the night here today?" Walking ahead, leading the way for the group was a small, even somewhat stout half-elf.
Looking at this half-elf who obviously had dwarven blood, Ades was really a little curious, whether his mother was an elf or his father was an elf, how the two races came together.
Obviously, Yades' way of thinking has not been well adjusted. It is very likely that the parents of this half-elf did not come together.
Elysée seemed to be quite familiar with the half-elf head of this supply station, and she shook her head and said, "Lillard, I guess I'll leave Ice City for a while, and help me keep an eye on Snow." ”
Hearing this, Ades took a closer look at the half-elf in front of him, this guy with a handsome face like most elves, was actually Elysée's cronies.
Lillard Reiwind was stunned when he heard this, the polar goddess said such things to herself in front of these people, then the relationship between these guests who were personally accompanied by the goddess and the goddess would not normally be like what was said in the Ice City, because they didn't know each other.
Could it be that the battle itself was arranged by the goddess?
Lillard didn't dwell on this question any longer, he just nodded, and then spoke: "The city lord of Snow is not like a person with that kind of courage, you don't have to worry too much, not to mention that with Wickz by his side, the city lord will not do anything out of the ordinary." ”
"You believe Wickz?" said Elysée with a nonchalant smile on her face.
"This archmage is so powerful, and as a spouse of an elemental creature, but he has always worked diligently for the Ice City, I think his loyalty should be unquestionable. ”
"Yes, his wife is the Ice Empress. Elysée said noncommittally, then continued to Lillard, "Take me to the teleportation array." ”
"You're always so forgetful," Lillard smiled slightly, "Everybody, please come with me." ”
