Act VII. Frost Mine Part 1

When Shiloh opened his eyes, he saw a ceiling he didn't recognize. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To be precise, it was not the ceiling, but the black-brown rock wall, and for a moment, he thought he had a long dream, it was a dream of eternal and endless battles between blood and fire, war and chaos, heroes and dusk, however, after waking up a little, he remembered that it was the background of the story of "Rainbow Poem", which he had read a hundred times.

"You're awake, Mr. Shiloh."

A girl's whisper came from his ear, and Shiloh turned his head sideways.

It's Princess Eliephis.

The long golden hair under the firelight was a little dim, the blue eyes were also slightly shadowed, the delicate face like a puppet was also full of blood, the original exquisite military uniform was tattered, and a little white skin could be faintly glimpsed, and then looking down, Shiloh found that his head was currently resting on the warm thighs of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Is this the legendary ...... Knee pillow?

"Sorry, sorry!"

Immediately jumped up, and the sharp pain that came from Shiloh's whole body immediately made him fall to his knees again.

"Woo ......"

"Don't move, the wound is open again."

Grabbing Shiloh, Princess Eliephiles made him lie back on his lap, not caring that he was a princess and that the other party was just a small chaplain.

"Well, Your Highness Princess, am I dead and now dreaming in the arms of the goddess?"

Hearing Shiloh's words, Princess Eliefils burst out laughing.

"And I'm still in the mood to joke, it seems that Mr. Shiloh is not seriously injured."

"Borrow the auspicious words of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Shiloh smiled, but his eyes fell on the various panels that popped up.

Although the health has recovered a bit, it has reached the level of 30/100, but the upper limit has turned gray about 20 points, which is a state that will only be triggered after severe trauma, and can only be healed by drugs and not spells.

The Holy Energy has already been fully restored, in fact, the recovery speed of 2 points per second, waiting for a minute can actually be full.

The chaos value has been reduced to 5 points due to the effect of the talent and rest, and the effect on Shiloh can be ignored.

As for the equipment on the body, although there is no attribute improvement, the basic armor brought is still quite valuable in the early stage. The priest's robe was already in a half-torn state, and the armor gain was reduced by 2 points, and it wasn't a valuable thing anyway, so Shiloh didn't pay much attention to it.

Numerically speaking, Shiloh is indeed not too seriously injured.

However, the actual situation is that his right hand was almost broken when he fell off the cliff, and until now he has no strength, and the internal bleeding caused by the impact of the landing on his body has left sequelae, as long as he takes a big breath, he will feel as if there are millions of worms in his body wriggling, and his ribs should be broken more than two, Shiloh has never experienced such pain in reality, and he can still joke about it until now, probably because of his extremely high will attributes.

"Did you save me?"

Princess Elefils put away her smile and asked seriously.

"Uh, if that'......"

In fact, Shiloh now looks back on everything he had done before as if it were a dream, and he only remembered that there seemed to be an impulse at that time, and there was endless courage in him to move forward, but now, that courage was gone, and only the worry about the next two people haunted him.

“...... Why? ”

Princess Elyfils asked, her words seemingly containing several meanings, as if they were just simple questions.

Because you are Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Shiloh didn't say that, and he didn't think it was a reason for him to come forward.

Although in the memory of his two lives, Princess Elyfils is like the flower of Kaolin, and she is the longing of all Astor players, but with this vision alone, he will not do the crazy action he did before, at least, Shiloh will not.

If there is a reason behind his actions, then Shiloh believes that it must be that.

"Because there are people in need of help in front of me, I will help."

It doesn't matter what her identity is, whether she's Her Royal Highness the princess of Astre or an ordinary country girl, Shiloh will reach out and grab her.

Shiloh saw that there seemed to be a slight ripple in Her Royal Highness's pale blue eyes, but before he could take a closer look, Princess Eliefils turned her face away.

"If a priest lies, he will be punished by the goddess."

In this way, muttering a sentence of unknown meaning, Her Royal Highness the princess's face seemed to have a faint crimson, or maybe it was just an illusion in Shiloh's trance.

"Speaking of which..... Where are we now? ”

Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little awkward, Shiloh stood up slightly and looked around.

It seemed to be a cave, with a faint glimpse of white snow around the corner, a dark green glow on the mossy rock walls in the light of the fire, and a small pile of stumps swaying on a bonfire around them, bringing warmth to the cave in the cold winter.

"I don't know...... When I woke up, I found that Mr. Shiloh was covered in wounds and unconscious, and after searching for a while, I found this cave, so I picked up some broken branches, lit a fire, and dragged you here. ”

"Cave Words ......"

Hilamo rubbed his chin and began to recall all the caves in the Pamirs.

Among them are the lair of the snow wolf, the road to the other side of the mountain, and the cave that was dug as a mine long ago, and from the current situation, this seems to be the one that once served as a mine, and Shiloh searched a little, and found traces of the minecart track that once existed on the side of the cave.

One of Pamela's underground mines leads to the Dungeon Frost Mine, where players must defeat the Ice Dragon Aceris underground in order to find a shortcut to the Mordred Plateau.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shiloh suddenly fall silent, Princess Elipels asked sideways.

"Well, I've heard from the residents near the fortress that the mine here is occupied by all kinds of monsters, the strongest of which is the ice dragon Aceris, and near his lair, there is a shortcut to the Mordred Plateau."

Shiloh pondered his words, vague on some key ways to get information.

"In other words, can we follow the mine and get out of this mountain range?"

With a twinkle in her eyes, Princess Elyfils looked as excited as a child who learned that she was going to hike the next day.

"Although the Ice Dragon is supposed to be dead, the other monsters in the mine are still alive, and the two of us don't have the strength to defeat them."

Shiloh is still quite calm, even if he and Her Royal Highness the princess go to challenge intact, they may not be able to fight, let alone the tattered appearance now.

"Hmm......"

Her eyes dimmed again, and Her Royal Highness bit her lower lip and fell into thought.

"However, you don't have to defeat those monsters to leave."

If you are a novice, you can get lost even if you look at the map in the game, but Shiloh is different, as a player of Aster, he has been crawling and rolling in this mountain range for many years, and when he has no money, he and his former guild friends will come to this frost mine to brush materials and sell them in the market, so he can be said to be quite familiar with the road conditions here.

"Meaning, there is another way?"

"Well, theoretically, yes, I heard an old hunter who was once trapped in a mine."

In fact, Shiloh didn't dare to pack the ticket, after all, the bosses in the original copy all ran to the big map to make waves, and even if the map of this mine cave became completely different from his impression, it was very possible.

"But no matter what, we have to do our best, otherwise we won't be able to get out of this mountain range."

Shiloh probably guessed that the reason why Erwin didn't make a move was because of his lack of mana, so he used the last mana to repel the Ice Dragon and protect the army, which was quite a calm judgment, and if it was Shiloh, standing in that position, he might make the same choice.

Then, Erwin would definitely not send people down the mountain to search for the two of them again, so it was not realistic to expect someone to find out about them.

Perhaps infected by Shiloh's emotions, Princess Elyfils also fell silent, and for a while, the cave was silent, only the flames licked. The sound of licking dead branches echoed in my ears.

Goo――

What broke the silence was a low belly scream.

"Uh, Her Royal Highness?"

Shiloh saw that the noble princess, the blush was climbing up from the white neck at the moment, gradually soaking the whole face, this unexpected performance, made him feel quite curious.

"No, don't care, it's just, it's just a sign of my lack of exercise!"

Flatly denied, Princess Elyfils lowered her head a little awkwardly, which made Shiloh even more curious about the girl's expression at the moment.

Shiloh looked outside, and the day was long gone, replaced by a pitch black night.

It was fine for him, but Her Royal Highness was in need of nourishment, and after such a battle, it was only natural that he felt hungry.

It's just that Shiloh, who hasn't gotten along with girls much, feels very interesting about Her Royal Highness's reaction to ordinary girls, and can't help but want to tease.

"Speaking of which, since the morning, I've been busy, and I don't have time to eat at all, and Her Royal Highness the princess is also growing up after all......"

"Needless to say!"

Princess Eliefils interrupted Shiloh's words, and her cheeks puffed out, looking quite cute.

"Okay, okay, I see."

Shiloh raised his hands and gave up teasing the girl in front of him.

"However, it's time to find something to eat, if you're hungry, you won't be able to fight well when you encounter an enemy."

Raising his hand, he cast a divine light spell on himself, and immediately felt that the pain that had spread throughout his body was relieved a lot, and Shiloh stood up against the wall.

"Hey, but where are you going to find food now?"

Hearing Shiloh's words, Her Royal Highness also looked outside the cave, in the mountains at night, only the snow wolf as a predator was wandering, and it seemed that it was not easy to find food.

"Inside."

Shiloh pointed to the depths of the cave with no end in sight, and smiled mysteriously.
