093 Perception, parting ways
The dragon was eventually killed, and while Dreira seemed eager to make the dragon into an oversized specimen, he had to consider the serious issue of immortality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the dragon bones and dragon scales were left to Dreira, after all, the dragon was attracted by Phirina as a dragonborn, and Dreira only suffered from the unjustified disaster, and it was his credit for killing the dragon, and he suffered the most.
Dreira's apprentice was fine, and after falling unconscious, he was lucky enough to suffer only a few burns, and even if he was not treated with spells, he would be healed after a few days of recuperation.
Early the next morning, the people who had said goodbye to Dreira set out on the journey again, but compared to the previous light travel, they now looked much more 'bloated'.
Everyone wore a thick cotton coat on the inside of the armor, and a bear skin coat on the outside, which looked like a small brown bear walking upright from a distance, and even the skeletal Estak wrapped a bear skin around the joints, which was said to prevent the joints from being frozen.
After going up the mountain, the previous war horses naturally couldn't be ridden, and everyone simply entrusted all the war horses to Drela, Dreira was just about to go to Xueman to sell the dragon bone dragon scales in his hand, so he agreed very happily, but he took pity on those war horses, with a good bloodline, but was regarded as an inferior pack horse by Drela.
After walking on the mountain road for more than half an hour, the group crossed the snow line, the temperature gradually decreased, and the scenery in view gradually turned a vast white, and Rick and Estak had to double the range of the skeleton's vigilance to prevent the attacks of those beasts that were also snow-white.
All the way to the top of the mountain, the wind and snow also became heavier, and everyone's vision was further compressed, and even the connection between the two necromancers and their skeletons was affected, and they had to shrink the skeleton's warning circle back.
At the same time, the mountain road became narrow and difficult to navigate, and under the thin layer of snow was a solid ice that had been frozen for hundreds of years, smooth and deadly.
Two skeletons slipped and fell, and the others slipped before they could be rescued, hitting the branches of the cedar halfway through, breaking into scattered bones and rolling all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
After noon, the crowd finally came to the most dangerous place of the trip, the ruins of Labrincien.
Labrinsian was once the capital of the Cult of the Dragons, and the scale of the building was extremely large, after which the Cult of the Cult declined, and in the First Age it was converted into a training ground for mages by the Chief Mage Salitor, and was later closed due to the danger and the high mortality rate of mages conducting trials.
Today, thousands of years later, the site is in ruins, with only the towering and desolate city walls and the many ruins buried deep underneath still tell the story of its former glory.
Of course, beyond the walls, ruins, and spell traps, the greater threat here is the hordes of trolls, and the most powerful and dangerous of the trolls, the Frost Trolls.
Frost Trolls, mostly known as Snow Trolls, are more than three meters tall and have the strength of far more than high-level warriors, and can quickly recover from injuries in ice and snow environments, even peak professionals do not want to encounter a snow troll in wind and snow weather.
And what's even more deadly is that the snow trolls here live in groups.
"Otherwise, let's go around it another way......"
Little Rick endured his fear, and the upper and lower rows of teeth kept touching, making a clicking sound.
The others didn't look much better, and even Eastak, who had already died once, silently took a few steps back and clearly expressed his position.
"Withdraw, withdraw slowly, don't be discovered by them."
Sawyer's voice was also a little trembling, there was no way, anyone who saw nearly a hundred trolls gathered together as if they were holding a meeting would be dominated by the most primitive fear in their hearts.
Click
The sound of the dead branch being trampled caught the attention of one of the outermost snow trolls, and three pairs of dark eyes snapped in the direction of the city gate......
"Run!"
Sawyer yelled and ran away, he didn't think the snow trolls would ignore them, after all, they were wearing brown bear skins!
Without waiting for Sawyer to remind, the others had already run away, and Rick and Istark also summoned all their skeletons, and a large area of Bai Sensen completely blocked the passage of the city gate.
Such a loud noise naturally alarmed the other snow trolls, and countless dark eyes looked in the direction of the city gate, and the snow trolls beat their chests and roared, crushing them like white tanks.
Click......
The sound of broken bones kept sounding behind everyone, but everyone didn't dare to look back, and Rick and Istark, who were attacked by the death of the skeleton, had already been carried by Ah Ye and Philina on their shoulders and ran all the way down the mountain.
Click!
The last skeleton was crushed by the troll's foot, and the snow trolls stared at three pairs of black eyes, and when they were sure there were no other enemies nearby, they roared and thrashed their chests again, as if to declare their dominion over the place.
Halfway up the mountain, Sawa and the others gasped and stopped, and after making sure that the snow trolls would not catch up, they all breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the cold ground.
"What should we do?"
yes, what's next? Rick's question left everyone confused, Labrincian had become a lair of snow trolls, and it was estimated that the legendary powerhouses would not want to pass through there, so should they go back the way they came, and then make a big circle from the town of Longqiao to Mosal in the west?
"No, let's go straight west, through the cold rock passage." Sawyer gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Cold Rock Passage? You are crazy?! ”
Ah Ye abruptly interrupted Sawyer's words with an expression of disbelief.
"We didn't have to risk it!"
"But we're here to take the plunge."
Sawyer spoke calmly, his tone was indifferent, and his originally crazy eyes became calm, but he was more determined than before.
(Before, I was reluctant to take risks, thinking that if I knew the plot well and grasped the direction of the world, I could safely navigate between the major forces with advanced 'intelligence', avoid all dangers, and slowly strengthen myself with little by little gains.)
However, how could there be no accidents in this world, last night's dragon battle relied on Dreira, and then the Somer Embassy, the Kenai Forest, and the Western Watchtower...... But I can't always find a strong person to shield me from the wind and rain.
Now that the dragons have returned, the vampires have begun to recover, and even Milak on the island of Southam is about to return, the progress of the world is accelerating, and the world will only become more and more dangerous.
No! I can't be comfortable anymore, last night's dragon was an accident, today's snow troll is also an accident, and then there will only be more and more accidents, I can't rely on other people's power to survive every time, people, after all, can only rely on their own ...... )
Thinking about it slowly, Sawyer's eyes became more and more determined, more and more sharp, and finally, a smile bloomed again at the corner of his mouth, how can there be so many 'fixed numbers' in this world, if he still wants to participate in the transformation of this world, he must break through the danger and improve himself!
"Ah Ye, let's go from the cold rock passage," Sawa repeated again, with confidence in his determined gaze, "The cold rock passage, we can handle it." ”
"But, it's too dangerous."
Ah Ye persuaded again, but in the corner of his eyes, there was a subtle smile, a smile of relief.
"But we can't be afraid of danger, retreat because of fear, that will only discourage us from moving forward, and in the end we can only achieve this little achievement, besides, even a dead place has a glimmer of life, and the cold rock passage is not a dead place for us, at most," Sawa raised the corners of his mouth, "It's just a difficult place of trial." ”
"Okay, then take the cold rock passage."
Ah Ye finally laughed too, patted Sawa on the shoulder, and re-carried the giant axe that had been thrown aside on his shoulder.
"Ka Ka ......" (Are you sure you want to go through the cold rock passage?) Then go by yourselves, I'd better leave. )
The others were also infected, and flames burned in their eyes, but at that moment, Istak suddenly spoke, dropped a word, and turned and walked down the mountain.
"Istark ......"
Filina, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, subconsciously wanted to stay, but was held down by Sawyer's shoulder, Filina looked back at Sawyer, but saw Sawyer sneering and shaking her head.
"Ishdaq." Sawyer suddenly stopped the little skeleton walking down the mountain, "How about another deal." ”
"Click?"
Istak turned his head and tilted his head, a little puzzled by Sawyer's words.
"These," Sawyer pulled out a potion belt, "for the three academy slots." ”
Ishdaq tilted his head, took the potion belt from Sawyer's hand and glanced at it, then nodded happily, and after a little thought, he broke a rib from his chest and handed it to Sawyer.
"Ka Ka ......" (it has my spiritual imprint in it, and a piece of information, you can just give it to Tovdil. )
Sawyer took the ribs, sensed it a little, and saw that the message inside did match the content of the transaction, so he laughed: "Then, goodbye." ”
"Click." (Goodbye)
Estak bowed slightly, turned and walked down the mountain.
"Just let him go? You know, this guy tricked us when he was in the western watchtower. ”
Ah Ye stood silently behind Sawyer, looking at the little skeleton that was gradually moving away, and he also had a sneering expression on his face.
What did Sawyer's natural way Ah Ye say, in the battle of the Western Guard Tower, he also noticed Istak's inaction, otherwise after Rick fell into a coma, it would be impossible for the entire battlefield to be without a skeleton, you know, before the war, he divided the remaining mana potions equally between Rick and Istak.
"I used to be a companion too."
Sawa shook his head and sighed slightly.
"But, will Istark be able to go back safely?"
Firina didn't understand why everyone suddenly froze, but she was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, he's got a bunch of skeletons out yet."
Sawyer sneered again, as a qualified Ranger, he had sensed that the number of skeletons was wrong when Rick and Istark released them before.
After last night's dragon battle, Rick refilled 50 skeletons, while Istark only had more than seventy left, but the skeletons that appeared just now were only in their early hundreds, and it was obvious that Istark had left behind.
"Alright," Sawyer smiled and rubbed Philina's head, "don't think about it so much, we still have a long way to go." ”
Firina slapped Sawyer's hand away with a blushing face and glared at Sawa with a pout, but she forgot what had just happened.
However, no one noticed that Rick, who was standing behind everyone and had not spoken, flashed a black glow on the staff in his hand......
