Chapter 44: When it snows, you will get sick if you fall in the snow
The wind and snow were a bit heavy, and the snow was too terrible even for Freljord. The relentless cold wind whipped up snow flakes like ice blades and raged in the air.
A staggering figure walked alone in the wind and snow, her steps were a little messy, her black-gold cloak was hunted by the wind, revealing her pale hair and thin body inside. The snow on the ground had reached her knees, blood had slipped from her clothes, and a blood-red road spread across the snow-white wasteland, so glaring and striking.
She walked for a while, and there was already a valley in front of her, about a hundred meters high, and the stones on the cliff wall were frozen with frost. Already, there is no way out. She gasped slightly, and the blood on her body was frozen together by the cold air. She held a wooden compound longbow in her hand, but unfortunately there were no arrows in the quiver on her back.
In the distance, the edge of the snowfield began to turbulent, and the snow flew, and as far as the eye could see, it was a group of soldiers on sleighs. They were dressed in thick edelweiss, and they held long swords that condensed with ice, and the snowflakes flew behind them, and the snowwolf pulled the sled very quickly and rushed in front of her.
The sled stopped, and the wolf's limbs clutched at the snow, his hot snort panting heavily. Fifty soldiers looked at the embarrassed woman in front of them, with some helplessness in their eyes, and finally the captain who took the lead slowly walked out and said, "Princess, Your Excellency Regent asked me to wait for you to go back, I hope you can cooperate with us. ”
"Huh." The cloaked woman chuckled, but there was no smile in it. Turning to look faintly at her former people, their long swords shrouded in a deep chill, and there was a sigh of shame in their eyes. The woman's voice was hoarse, "This can't be. ”
The wind and snow were fierce, and the scene fell silent.
The soldiers looked at the person in front of them, and after a long time, the captain turned around: "Princess Ash fell off the cliff, life and death are unknown." I am not in a good position to pursue and receive the crime from now on. So saying, he took the lead and got on the sleigh, pulled the reins and left.
The soldiers unanimously put away their swords and stepped into their sleighs. The snowflakes flew, and the centaurs disappeared into the snow-white world.
Ash stood there for a moment, then slowly turned around and continued to walk forward step by step.
Ash is the child of one of the leaders of one of the many clans in the Snowfields of Freljord. She was amazed by the huge and abandoned castle of her ancestors, and she would spend many hours listening to Freljord's fictional heroic tales around the campfire, and the warm campfires and beautiful legends at night were her most relaxing moments.
She loved the legend of Alvarossa, the famous queen who once performed the feat of unifying Freljord. Though her mother would rebuke her for being stupid, Ash vowed that one day she would unite the divided and warlike tribes of the ice fields. She knew in her heart that if people could unite again, they would do it again.
A month ago, her mother was killed for directing a reckless attack. Forced to become the head of her clan in grief and helplessness, Ash is suddenly put into the role of leader, and Ash makes a difficult decision: she will follow her childhood vision instead of seeking revenge. She strongly opposed the revenge of the tribal people, declaring that when the time came, the blood debt should be put aside to maintain long-term peace. Some of her warriors questioned her suitability to rule them, and they, led by the regent, plotted a rebellion to kill the young leader.
The Assassins were engaged in one of Ash's daily hunts, but their plans were thwarted by a warning roar from a giant eagle. Ash looked back to see her people approaching with swords. Outnumbered, she had no choice but to escape, losing her only loved one, trying to support her tribe, but the despair of betrayal made her fifteen-year-old lose hope, and now she is like a walking corpse.
It's a huge ice cave filled with crystal ice picks, and surprisingly the air here isn't too cold, and even a little warm. Anchen and Ize were staying in this ice cave at this time.
"It's a very dense crystal," Ezreal said, looking carefully at a transparent crystal in his hand with a pair of magnifying glasses, the whole crystal was icy blue, reflecting a faint glow in the daylight. Ize tried to input his rune power into it, and the silver-white rune mana poured into the crystal without hindrance, and it was extremely smooth.
Ize helped his glasses: "I think the magic guide performance is high, and it can be used to make very good rune props." If it can be finely processed, it may not be even a runic weapon. ”
Saying that, Ize glanced at An Chen, who was sitting on the side with a pen, at this time An Chen took off the hat and heavy windproof glasses on her head, as if she had a beautiful face, she was looking at the wind and snow outside the cave in a daze, to be honest, she had never seen such a big wind and snow in her life.
"Anchen, Anchen!" Ize patted Anchen's head: "I said you sober me up, I asked you to help me take notes, I didn't make you in a daze." ”
An Chen touched his head that was a little painful, muttered and opened his notebook and wrote a few strokes on it: "I know, what are you doing with me, isn't it just that the density is very high, and the magic guiding performance is also good." It's not like I didn't hear it, really. ”
Ignorant of her, she looked at the crystal in her hand, took out the instrument in her hand, and began to calculate the density of the crystal. If the density is higher than most crystals, the runic experimental value of this crystal will be high.
Ize opened his backpack and rummaged around, while An Chen picked up a piece of crystalline and looked at it, the light blue color was quite good-looking, and he didn't know how much gold it was worth.
"The density is 3.854g/cm3, which is not bad, quite hard, Anchen, you remember it. I think this newly discovered material can replace a lot of common experimental materials, and I'll test what its rune capacity is. Ezreal said as he tinkered with the little stone with something like this.
Anchen was completely treated as a coolie, and the density was up and down in the notebook, and looking at Izawa's appearance, he would not finish the work in hand in a short time. Leaving a shadow clone to help Ize, Anchen stood up by herself and walked to the entrance of the ice cave, the snow flakes were like blades blowing her face a little painful, really, I don't know how anyone could live here in such an environment.
An Chen glanced at the white expanse outside, and suddenly found a black humanoid thing on the white snow.
What is that? An Chen frowned suspiciously, could it be a person?
