Rhodes really didn't expect what happened to Glaser Harbor - he couldn't have guessed that Sejuani, the dignified Mother of War of the Claws of Winter, would actually embarrass a group of sailors because of anger!

Pike and the sailors were kindly left to repair in the port of Glaser, but the harbor became their burial place!

At this time, Rod, who was walking on the snowy frozen soil with Olaf and Jana, was trying to dig up Olaf's background.

Strength doesn't come for nothing, it's either the harvest of hard work or the gift of blood—and the more troublesome thing about Olaf is that he doesn't know why he has the power to break the law.

Whether it is the ability to throw an axe, or the agility that far exceeds that of the average warrior, these are all acquired by Olaf himself through hard training; But every time Rhodes asked about his talent, Olaf was always confused.

Okay......

This is probably really a blood legacy.

It's a pity that Rhodes knows almost nothing about magical experiments - although his relationship with Kel'thugad is okay, he really has no talent for magical experiments, and he has no further education, so it is difficult for him to figure out what the source of other people's power is.

Blood tests or anything, Rhodes doesn't know at all.

(Of course, if mages can do blood tests and study bloodlines, then what do warlocks and priests do?) ）

Since it is impossible to find out the source of this power from Olaf itself, Rhodes can only start from other aspects - such as Olaf's growth environment, family situation, etc.

Unfortunately, these are also lackluster.

An ordinary Freljord family, where his father died in the hunt and his mother made a move, Freljords from Olaf were simply everywhere!

Although Rhodes tried to find clues about Olaf's magical powers, no matter how much he tried to side-track, there was absolutely no useful information other than the courage of Olaf as a person.

Okay......

In desperation, Rod had no choice but to give up the search for the cause for the time being.

There's no way to do it if you don't give up, you can't meet such a guy who doesn't know anything, and you can't get any useful news!

……………………

It's winter in Freljord.

There was not a single sign of pedestrians in the vast snowy fields - even the most unsightly barbarians would wander outside in the winter of Freljord.

That means death.

But Rhodes and his party were different.

Jana was the owner of the Cold Wind Rune, and Rhodes was able to elementalize himself to Olaf...... He was happy to be able to walk in the snow and saw it as a challenge.

As for why not fly......

Hehe, it's winter, and it's snowy, you can walk at least a little reference, if you use flying, Rhodes gets lost in this terrible ice field every minute.

Rhodes had only a very simple map, which was dictated by Rhodes after the port of Grazer had been told.

There are not many references on the map, but according to the old man, "these are the most obvious things, and no amount of wind and snow can hide them".

And so far, his words are not bragging.

Whether it is the "hill that goes straight up and down like a pillar" or "the hill that looks like someone has cut off its head", it is a clear enough sign that even if the wind and snow are heavy, as long as there is a momentary pause, Rhodes will be able to adjust his direction according to the iconic reference on the map.

This walk is more than half a month.

Rhodes emptied his space backpack beforehand and filled it with all sorts of things - Olaf was a big foodie, and Rhodes wouldn't dare to use his magic pudding to feed him, that would probably eat Rhodes.

(Spend two hours a day making magic pudding, you might as well kill Rhodes...... ）

Luckily, the three of them arrived at their destination before Rod's space backpack was emptied.

Medrunder Pass.

This is the natural dividing point between Ash and Sejuani's forces, and the only way to the Sanctuary of Freljord Lakstark.

The seventeen-day trek had been an unbearable ordeal even for Rhodes, and now when he saw the Maidrunel Pass, he had only one thought in his mind.

"I'm going to get some rest, I don't want to go through this kind of thing anymore!"

Then, just as Rhodes was about to reach the pass, he was stopped by a patrolling Avarosa guard.

"Who?!"

"Traveler - from the port of Grazze."

As he spoke, Rhodes pulled out a badge from Port Glaser.

The man who looked like a squad leader stepped forward, took the badge in Rod's hand, and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed the emblem issued by the group of people in the port of Grazger.

The warrior in rudimentary armor looked at Rhodes and Jana as if to guess their identities - "You are ...... Spellcaster? ”

"That's right." Rhodes touched his chin, "Mage, from Fuguang Island. ”

The soldier obviously didn't know where Fukumitsu Island was, but Rhodes felt as if he was relieved.

Just when Rhodes thought he would be able to get through easily, the soldier raised his weapon again after looking at Olaf.

Seeing the squad leader raise his weapon, the other soldiers also tacitly surrounded him.

"What about you? Who are you? Where did it come from? ”

"Olaf, from Lockefar."

Although Olaf was already agitated, under Rod's command, he barely got angry.

As if to hear Olaf's severe Lockefa accent, the soldier finally lifted his guard.

"Please forgive me for being nervous." The team leader waved his hand and motioned to disperse the siege, "Something unpleasant happened before, and next in the town, I'm afraid you still need to answer some questions, but it seems that you should be nothing at the moment—welcome to the realm controlled by Avarosa, the traveler who has traveled through the wind and snow." ”

The patrol team seemed to be specially designed to greet the travelers, and the team leader skillfully divided a part of the team and led the three of them back to the nearest town.

Lalcroll – Freljord in German, meaning "narrow valley".

This small town is located in the middle of the Medrunder Pass, a leeward place, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one road to get in and out.

In Rod's eyes, this was a good place to build a fortress, as long as the road in front of Ralcroll was blocked, and no amount of people could pass through the Maidlund Pass until the enemy broke through the defenses.

Interestingly, listening to these soldiers, this town was newly built at Ash's suggestion......

This Miss Awarossa's War Mother...... It's not an ordinary character!
