However, after a mission, he returned to the Bitter Cold Fortress safely, but he couldn't find the sled dogs that usually circled around him.

After much inquiry, he finally learned that those sled dogs were bought by a certain caravan and became several sled dogs in the real sense.

After some more time, the Truy finally saw them, and even though they hadn't seen each other for almost a month, they recognized Truy at a glance.

The sled dogs, who had grown up a lot, flicked their tails excitedly and circled around him.

Seeing Truy squatting, they immediately lay down, exposing their bellies for Truy to touch.

Truy, who became a first-order ranger, deliberately learned the skill of being able to sense whether an animal is injured or not.

So, he unleashed his skills on the snow elves.

The results were contrary to Truy's expectations, and the sled dogs were in good shape, they were strong and did not have a trace of dark injuries.

In particular, their mental state, which the Truy clearly perceived from them, was their love for the job of sledding.

Truy hung his heart for almost a month before he finally let go.

Truy, who was relieved to go out on a mission, every time he saw this group of snow elves that he was extremely familiar with, he would touch them and help them check their bodies.

It's just that, as the saying goes, for Truy, the day that symbolized the nightmare suddenly came without warning.

After successfully completing a certain mission to destroy the enemy, he heard a bad news.

The caravan where the snow elves were located was ambushed by the combined forces of the monsters, and none of them were destroyed.

Truy had the idea that maybe the snow elves were ignored by the monsters, or maybe they were smart enough to find a way to escape.

He ran towards the place where the accident occurred.

Only, the miracle did not happen.

At the scene of the devastated attack, the Trouj found their stumps and fluff.

They were eaten by monsters.

The dejected Truid, clutching their fluff in his hands, returned to the Bitter Cold Fortress.

Since then, he has become a ranger who behaves strangely to the point of being a little silly in the eyes of outsiders.

He often chooses caravans with a large number of sled dogs to be a temporary mercenary to escort them, and is a free escort at no charge.

Truy's purpose is to rely on his own strength as much as possible to protect those snow elves who are completely unfamiliar to him.

Although the Trouj could only escort one caravan at a time, sometimes, some sled dogs were killed.

However, he was relieved.

......

"No wonder. Vincent nodded knowingly.

He had been very eager to figure out how a small caravan had invited a fourth-order ranger to join.

Vincent never expected that it would be for this reason.

As for the reason why Trouy didn't take the initiative to approach the group of sled dogs, Vincent naturally knew it.

For an emotionally rich person, the pain of losing a loved one really doesn't want to taste it a second time.

"How did you find our husband and wife, or rather, me?" Vincent, who knew Truy's identity, was still very puzzled that he had found him.

"My partner says that you are definitely a good person to be trusted. Truy gave such a serious answer that Vincent couldn't laugh or cry about.

"Huh. Vincent couldn't say anything but laugh dryly.

Avensi, who was listening attentively on the side, immediately covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard that Vincent was given a good guy card by Truy's monster partner.

Just as the atmosphere of the chat gradually changed to another place, Trouy suddenly spoke: "Obel, it's the first time I've seen you so shy?"

"Roar!" In the depths of the darkness in the distance, there were several bear roars that were slightly annoyed in their emotions.

When Truy heard this, he immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything." ”

"Roar. After a short bear roar, the darkness returned to silence.

Vincent, who could roughly hear what feelings were contained in the bear roar, couldn't help but say in a joking tone: "It seems that the Obel in your mouth really has a good impression of me." ”

"I'm jealous!" Truy tilted his head very seriously and looked into Vincent's eyes.

"I'm happy!" Vincent's tone was equally serious.

Then, less than a second later, the two of them suddenly raised their heads and laughed loudly.

"Haha. ”

Seeing the two men going crazy, Avensie hurriedly moved to the far right of the log, indicating that he had drawn a line with them and was not the same passerby.

......

"If you have time, go to the Bitter Cold Fortress, I'll have a treat. Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Troud patted his leg and got up to go back to continue his night's sentry mission.

"Okay, I'll go to you when I'm free. Vincent stood up and watched as Trouy departed.

Avinsi, who was on the side, also politely got up to see him off.

After carefully folding the note with Truy's address in the Bitter Cold Fortress, Vincent placed it under his padded coat.

In fact, he put the note in his inventory.

"Strange man!" sighed Avensi, who had sat back down.

"A person who has a purpose in life and can act on it must be a happy person. Vincent was rather unimpressed by Avensey's claims.

"Let's go, the crowd is almost gone. Avancy washed the cup with snow water and headed for the tent.

"Hmm. With that, Vincent followed her into the tent.

......

"Whew, it's not a good day!" Jean sighed as he looked up at the thick clouds.

"I don't know when it will fall. Vincent, who sat next to Jean, also looked up at the sky.

The cold wind that blew on his face was brought by the sleigh as it ran fast.

Vincent had been waking up in the morning and had no apparent sense of the wind.

The only thing that is there is a feeling of depression that borders on suffocation.

Ghosn, the caravan manager, didn't expect the weather to change so quickly overnight.

So, at his request, they hastily finished their breakfast, got on a sleigh, and made their way to a cave where they could escape the blizzard.

Snow is not terrible, what is terrible is that heavy snow combined with wind has a double effect.

A person's sense of sight and hearing will all be seriously disturbed, even if his strength is like that of the fourth-order ranger Truy, in that kind of weather, he will not be able to play much of a warning role.

In the face of the power of nature, human beings below the high-level professional have no other way than to avoid this option.

"Faster, faster, faster at all costs. ”

Blown by a cold wind that came from nowhere, Ghosn's face changed dramatically in an instant. He knew very well that maybe in the next minute, the snow that would engulf the bobsled team would fall.

But the sledding team is still a full ten minutes away from the cave.

In desperation, Ghosn can only let the sled drivers squeeze the sled dogs' physical strength.

The sled dogs roared in pain, and their running speed increased by nearly fifty percent in an instant.

The speed of the sled team increased sharply, and it sped away in a south-west direction at an incredible speed.
