The white snowflakes are forever drifting, and in the cold snow, wisps of green smoke rise up.

Evernie rubbed her hands together excitedly, whirring the fire that had just risen, and adding some dry wood to it.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. ”

"You don't understand, big man, that's the joy of adventure. Evnie said with a smile.

The giant on the side frowned humanely, and with that fierce and vicious look, it was very funny.

Even though he had shrunk in size, he was still too tall for Everney, and I am afraid that only the men of the bear people could compare to him.

After a conversation with Cassia, the giant no longer intends to disguise his emotions and thoughts, and behaves generously, which is why Evnie feels more and more that the big man is becoming smarter.

There is less rigidity and sluggishness of the machine, and more spirituality and human touch.

But there is one thing that the giant really did not lie, and that is that his eyes really can't be changed, and he is vicious.

But this is more and more cute in Evernie's eyes, as Ferrante said when they met on the battlefield for a while, Evernie really does not look old, perhaps related to her unchanged mentality.

After the end of the war in the Western Continent, Evni immediately escaped from the army, and even ran to the office of the dean of the Dwarven Academy with a long sword, and demanded that her status as vice president be changed to honorary vice president.

She then spent a long time recording the knowledge of the magic seal, leaving it to the Dwarven Academy to study on her own, and she embarked on a journey around the world.

Originally, she also invited the flame dragon, but the fool nested in his cave, holding a gem mountain, and refused to come out when he died.

Helplessly, only Averney and the giant were on the road together.

According to the original plan, Evernie should have gone straight to the North Continent, first, she had never been there, and second, she heard that Sost, who had not been seen for a long time, was showing off his skills and skills, and had also exchanged the research of electricity to the dwarves, so it is conceivable how much black technology he would have.

In addition, Ferrante, who forgot his friends, heard that he became a legion commander and defeated the Kaia Empire, which is terrible.

They were old friends who hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and Evernie still remembered the scene when they were in Scarborough's secret room, their eyes resolutely parting.

The only pity is that Cassia is gone, disappearing without a trace.

Sometimes I think about it, I really miss it, it seemed that everyone was very silly at that time, but in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and she is still the only one left.

This place in the South Continent is already too familiar to Evnie, and it has taken her ten years to travel here little by little, but when she set off, she suddenly thought that the southeast polar region of the South Continent had not been there, so she had the current situation of making a fire.

"Half a month, no, a month, we walked here for a month, and there was nothing interesting to go all the way east, and we went out to sea in a boat to the North Continent to find Sost. ”

Naturally, the giant has no opinion, for him, this world is familiar and new.

......

Half a month later

In the midst of the blizzard, Evernie wrapped herself tightly in her cotton coat and hid with the giant in a large hollow in a dead tree.

The flames of the fire were blown by the cold wind in the cracks, and Evnie, who was shivering with cold, almost wanted to cremate herself.

On the other hand, the giant who was dressed didn't feel anything, and the loose summer clothes stinged Evnie's eyes.

"Damn, when I went to the southwest polar region to look for the dragon, I didn't see it so cold, damn it, I should have asked you to catch that dragon and go on the road together. Evnie grumbled.

"It's true that the temperature in the southeast is unusually cold compared to the entire area south of the snow line. The giant sat bored on the ground, a stream of data flashing through his body.

"You can feel this, the ancestor's skills are so powerful, I'm afraid the star god will be jealous when he sees you. ”

"Nope. The giant suddenly refused, "No, there is no one to compare with the wisdom." ”

“...... It's the same as you've seen the gods. ”

The giant was expressionless and did not speak.

After a while, the wind and snow outside were a little lighter, and Evnie's stomach growled, and she was tired of eating jerky, and she touched the magic mark sword on her waist, as well as the short gun in her pocket, and waved her big hand:

"Let's go!"

The cold wind mixed with the ice ballast blew his cheeks painfully, and even if the wind and snow were lighter, there were no animals at all who wanted to come out.

The two of them stood alone in the snow, silent, but then Evernie noticed that the data flow at the giant's neck had increased significantly, and it continued one after another.

"What are you doing?"

"The temperature here ...... Something wasn't right, it was too cold. ”

"I know it's too cold...... "Avnie sighed, "what did you find?"

The giant twisted his head: "I can't understand, I can't understand this fluctuation." ”

Evnie's eyes widened instantly: "Is there something? and something you can't understand?!

As he spoke, the giant's body began to melt, growing nearly three times taller, and then holding Evni in his palm, he strode forward.

After about half an hour of running, and Evernie couldn't remember how many turns they made, they came to a cliff, and when they looked down, they could see that the bottom of the cliff was full of gravel and a small river, forming a rift.

The rift was about three or four hundred meters deep, and the width of the rift was estimated to be nearly a thousand meters, and the middle was empty, only cold fog.

"It's ...... here," Evney jumped off her palm.

The giant regained his normal height, and looked at the rift in front of him very suspiciously, the data flow kept scurrying, but he still couldn't get a concrete result.

"I don't know, there should be something in front, but my scan can't analyze it, the space here is unstable, and even the curvature can't be connected normally. ”

Evernie looked at the giant, at the rift, back and forth several times, and as soon as she was about to speak, she saw the giant stretch out his hand, and stepped over like a curtain, stepping into the rift.

The imaginary fall didn't happen, and Evernie grew her mouth and watched the giant disappear.

"Big ......"

She was suddenly stunned, where did she seem to have seen the scene of the disappearance of the giant just now......

That's right! Scarborough! It's like the membrane that blocked those monsters on the line between Scarborough and Inside and Outside!

Evernie settled, took a sharp breath, and jumped out with her eyes closed.

......

Without falling, Evernie seemed to have made a standing long jump, standing firmly on the hard stone road.

If you look closely, there are no gaps in this stone road, and it seems to be one.

The giant was standing beside her at this time, but it was motionless, as if stunned, and the data light flow on his body became more and more dense.

Avernie didn't know why, but she looked up ahead, and she was stunned at this look.

Not far ahead, there are still cliffs, but there is a stone bridge leading to the front, the rugged stone bridge is very wide, covered with frost, and a dozen long piers stand vertically at the bottom of the rift.

At the end of the stone bridge, there is a magnificent complex castle complex, half suspended in the air on the other side, more like half embedded in the opposite cliff.

It was so tall and majestic that Evernie swore that it would be nothing more than if she filled the Dwarven Sacred Mountain with molten iron and then dismantled the resulting specimens.

"Gollum ......"

Avenie swallowed, why did there be such a building in this hellish place.

The cold wind was still howling, and the whole black castle complex was dull, and the expression was covered with frost, and there were signs of collapse everywhere, even the stone bridge.

Like a dead beast, its body frozen in the barren southernmost snowfields.

In the middle of the castle complex, above the tallest building, a blue ball of light floated up and down, the only color here except black and white.

And the giant's gaze was looking over there.

Evernie took a deep breath, didn't bother the giant, and walked toward the stone bridge.

At the head of the stone bridge, she wiped away the frost, knocked open the ice crystals, and held up a wooden plaque, on which two words were still clearly written in ancient beast script.

"Wintercastle. ”
