...

The wind began to weaken, the dim sky gradually whitened with the passage of time, and the convoy drove on the compacted snow, and in the melodious sound of the church bells, Beishu Town ushered in a new day.

"So, that investigator named Andy has been missing for three days?"

In the church, a gray-haired young man in armor asked the priest.

"Yes, because someone in the town saw the devil in the mountain of Fiano, so at noon the day before yesterday, Mr. Andy entered the mountain with his weapon, and it stands to reason that he should have come back that night, even if it was not early, according to his habit, he would have stayed for half a day at most and would have returned. But to this day, I have not seen any sign of Mr. Andy. ”

The priest's eyes glistened with tears in her eyes, and she replied with a worried face.

The gray-haired man frowned, exchanged glances with his teammates sitting on the side, and then asked,

"Miss Pastor, if I'm not mistaken, the investigator should be affiliated with the temple, shouldn't the disappearance of clergy like this be reported to the temple and handled directly by the temple? Why would you entrust an adventurer with this? ”

"If I could report it to the temple, I wouldn't have invited you." Speaking of this, the pastor's sister snorted aggrievedly, as if she wanted to vent the dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart.

"I also went to the branch hall in Wintersnow City to report, but the reception of the branch hall said that only if I have been missing for more than a week, I can send an investigation team to search, I told them about Mr. Andy's habits, but they didn't listen to me at all, and they kicked me out of the branch hall."

"I see..."The gray-haired man nodded, indicating that he understood what the priest said, and then patted her on the shoulder lightly, comforting: "Don't worry, leave the task of finding Mr. Andy to us, I believe Mr. Andy will not want you to be so sad." ”

"Well, please, please find him!"

"Hmm!"

…

Bidding farewell to the priest, Reese led the four members of the adventuring party along the path of inquiry into the mountains of Fiano.

"Crunch ~ Crunch ~"

The soles of their feet imprinted footprints on the snow, and the five of Reese walked along the mountain road that was opened, one foot deep and one foot shallow, if it were not for the sunny weather and a rare windless day, Rees would definitely do a good job of sledding, and then consider going into the mountains to find people.

"Captain, why did Miss Priest go to the temple, and instead of helping, the temple kicked her out? Doesn't Miss Reverend belong to the temple? Elf girl Emily asked, confused.

After yesterday's familiarity, coupled with the wind blowing in Alice's ears, the elf girl finally let go of her wariness of Reese. Therefore, when I had questions, I naturally asked the captain of the team known as 'Zhiduoxing'.

Reese used the short knife in his hand to cut through the branches that stood in his way, and walked as he went:

"The temple has the system of the temple, and it has always been man who conforms to the system, and there is no system that conforms to man; Of course, this is also a manifestation of the decay of the temple, after all, it has also existed for more than five thousand years..."Speaking of this, Reese's eyes were a little distant, probably remembering the glorious history of the temple.

"As for Miss Pastor, she really doesn't belong to the Temple." Riston paused, licked his dry lips with his tongue, and continued, "Priests are a general term for medical personnel, most of them are water mages, a few are skilled doctors, and only a few are paladins who know how to do charism. Only they truly belong to the temple. ”

Reece babbled, and Emily couldn't react for a while, and couldn't help but look at Alice for help.

Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Reese means that Miss Priest has a holiday with the temple, and the temple doesn't want to help her." ”

"It's concise and clear, although it deviates a little from the original meaning, but that's basically what it means."

"O~ I see." The elf girl suddenly realized, and then sighed: "Your human world is really complicated..."

"......" The four humans were a little speechless for a while.

"Alright, don't be in a daze, Jack, you come and get out of the way, I'll rest for a while."

"Okay captain!" The young man with an axe on his back who looked like a bear answered with full of vigor and replaced the captain who was the vanguard.

He is a warrior in the Adventure Squad, and like the team's final swordsman, Kerry, he is an adventurous ****** of the North.

Reese flicked his slightly sleepy arm, ready to pass through the two ladies caught in the middle of the line and go to the end.

In the wilderness, safety comes first, Alice is a mage, and Emily is an archer, both of which can be regarded as key protection objects for high attack and low defense, and are naturally in the center of the team.

It is more dangerous for the team to travel to the rear than to the front, so all the melee personnel of the adventure team will go to the rear of the team, except for the team member who opens the way.

"Whew——!!!"

As soon as Reese crossed Alice and was about to say hello to Kerry, the roar of the monster suddenly sounded, and three adult-sized white tigers with a gust of wind instantly swooped out of the woods and opened their huge mouths towards Kerry.

"Be careful!"

Reece yelled, trying in vain to remind Kerry, but the white tiger's body was infused with wind magic, and the speed was extremely fast, and before Kerry could react, he was bitten by the swift white tiger on the shoulder, and at the same time kicked the ground hard, bringing up a handful of snow mist, and dragged Kerry into the woods.

From the appearance of the demonic beast to the snatching of Kerry, the whole process only took less than half a second, and before everyone could react, Kerry and the white tiger disappeared from view.

"Damn! I'll catch up and stall for time first, and you guys will come along!" Reece cursed angrily, drew his long sword, and ran in the direction where the white tiger had disappeared.

Alice and the three of them quickly adjusted, burrowed into the woods, and chased Reese...

…

"Whew-whew-"

Leaning forward, the sword hanging diagonally from his hand to the back, Reese urged the fighting spirit and ran through the snow like an arrow.

On the cyan gem in his hand, there are four points of light, but one is far away from the others, ranking in front.

This is a tracking gem used for positioning, and it is with this that Rees can find the exact direction of the White Tiger's escape in the complex terrain of Mount Fiano.

Although Warcraft is not a rare species in the Dahlak Continent, as creatures that like magic, they generally move around the Magic Crystal Mine.

Rees hadn't heard of any veins in the snowy mountains of the north where birds didn't, which made Rees find very strange. However, any problem needs to be investigated after finding Kerry, and as the captain, he can't let his team die in the mouth of the monster.

"Roaring ——!" "Brute! I don't care about you! ”

The voice suddenly sounded from the front, and Reese immediately increased the output of his fighting energy, and his already amazing speed increased again, and the whole person rushed forward almost against the ground.

"Kerry!"

He rushes over the snow mounds that obscure his view, and finally meets Kerry, who is confronting the white beast. Seeing that the white tiger was about to bite Kerry's throat, Reece couldn't help but roar, stirring up the fighting spirit all over his body, dragging his long sword and slashing towards the beast's head with ten thousand powers.

Hearing the voice, Kerry, who turned his head to look at him, had a hellish expression on his face, and he yelled:

"Captain! Flash away!! ”

“！！！”

The dark shadow quickly zooms in...
