The Black Forest is in the north, and the further north you go, the colder the climate becomes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was late spring, it was still the same as winter in the Black Forest, the sky was always covered with dark clouds, and from time to time there were a few snowflakes, the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and the cold wind was howling all the time, blowing on people's faces like a knife.

This day was the third day that Link and his party had tracked down the dark ghosts, and they had penetrated more than 300 kilometers deep into the Black Forest to the hinterland of the Dark Elf Pelinder Kingdom.

'Gaz~Gaz~' The scouts stepped on the snow, which was knee-deep, and it took a lot of effort to pull out their legs.

In this hostile situation, the scouts had to sweep their footprints with branches as they advanced, and their progress became very slow.

But fortunately, the speed of the dark ghost who reported the news was not much, and this guy would not clear the footprints left by himself on the snow layer at all, and Link always locked the other party's breath, so everyone was not worried about losing it.

As he walked, one of the scouts let out a low cry, and he stepped into the air, his body sinking rapidly, and he was about to sink into the snow.

"Levitation!"

As soon as Link's mind moved, magic blessed the scout, helping him stabilize his body.

The crowd immediately cautiously walked up and threw a rope at the scout, pulling him out of the snow.

There was a loud 'bang, hula', and the snow continued to fall from the pit where the scout was, and soon a large pit with a diameter of more than three meters wide and seven or eight meters deep appeared, the bottom of the pit was full of rocks, and the top of the pit was covered with dead branches and weeds, and it was they that supported the thick layer of snow and formed a natural trap.

The scout exhaled with a sigh of relief, and said gratefully to Link, "Thank you, sir." ”

If he hadn't had that levitation technique, he might have broken his bones this time, and if he was seriously injured in this ghost place, he would have basically been sentenced to death.

Link nodded lightly and comforted, "Be careful. ”

With that, he walked to the rocks on the side, blessed himself with Eagle Eye, and looked north.

Ahead was a rugged hill, white, and the further north you went, the lower the trees became, and half of them were submerged in snow, and the view widened.

The road became more and more difficult to walk, and without the shelter of trees, the possibility of exposure became higher.

In the hinterland of the Dark Elf Kingdom, Link can't use levitation to get away yet, because using magic for a long time will leave behind a magical aura that can be tracked by opponents, which is tantamount to killing himself.

After looking at it for a long time, Link determined a path forward and said, "Go this way, use the rope, tie the waist, everyone is tied together, and they can take care of each other." ”

"Yes, sir." The scouts immediately complied.

While the rope was being tied, Link walked up to Anne and said softly, "How is it, can you hold on?" ”

For the sake of ease of movement, the scouts are wearing leather armor, although the leather armor has become much thicker because of the battle in the north, but the ability to withstand the cold is not excellent, plus this is enough to freeze people's ears, even if the scouts have the battle energy, they can't completely resist the low temperature.

At this time, every scout's face was pale, especially Anne was the only woman in the team, her physical fitness was the weakest, and the worse the situation, her face was pale, her lips were not bloody at all, and her body would tremble from time to time.

"No..... It's okay, I can hold on. Anne whispered, but how unsettling it sounded.

Link looked at the other scouts, although the situation was better, but it was not much better, in fact, he himself felt a little unbearable, if he continued to chase, I am afraid that they would not be defeated by the dark elves, and they would have to freeze to death first.

Here, unless you want to die, you don't need to think about magic to keep out the cold, what Link can do is to release an elemental healing to everyone at intervals to replenish the scouts' physical consumption.

"It can't go on like this, we have to find a place to fix it." Link looked around and searched the surrounding area carefully, but it was all snowy and there was no place to rest.

"Forget it, let's go first." Link couldn't help it.

The group continued to move north, and there were several accidents on the way, but fortunately there was a rope connection, so there was no danger every time.

After walking for another half a day, Anne was already a little unsupportable, her steps were staggering, her consciousness was also in a semi-comatose state, the reason why she was still moving forward was all supported by her will, and the other scouts were also trembling and almost unable to hold on. It's Link, the magic robe on his body is relatively warm, and he is the best one at the moment.

Just then, a small hill appeared in front of it, and at the bottom of the hill, there seemed to be a wooden house covered with snow. Link blessed himself with Eagle Eye and looked closely.

Sure enough, it was a wooden house, it looked very shabby, and there were no windows, but it was enough to be used as a shelter in the wilderness.

"Let's go over there and rest for the night." Link helped Anne and led the way to the cabin,

Of course, the scouts had no opinion, rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, followed Link, and walked all the way to the cabin.

The trees are getting thinner, and the wind is getting stronger, and they are blowing down from the ice fields to the north, freezing everything in their path.

In this hellish place, you can't even open your eyes too wide, or you'll get frostbitten.

Link and the scouts walked deeper and deeper towards the cabin, looking very close, but it took them more than half an hour to get to the ground.

The wooden house is a typical dark elf architectural style, with dark tones and strange shapes, and a small skull carved next to the door, but this wooden house has been abandoned, and only half of the wooden door is left, and half of the roof has been crushed by snow, but there is still half of the roof, and it can barely shelter from the wind in the corner of the wooden house.

Upon entering the cabin, Link pointed his wand at the corner of the cabin: 'Cleansing'

'Whew~' was like lifting a curtain, and the corner suddenly became spotless.

Link then looked at the structure of the wooden house around the corner, and used the Higgs force field to tinker with various parts of the house and strengthen the structure of the wooden house.

The scouts were not idle, there were some discarded furniture in the cabin, and there were a few tables and stools, most of which were badly decayed, but some were still functional. What is moth-eaten is to be used as firewood, and what can be used is wiped clean.

After a while, a fire rose in the middle of the corner, and the temperature in the hut rose considerably and warmed.

One of the scouts also found a broken iron cauldron, and Link walked over and used his magic to repair it, and the cauldron was ready to use, so the scout filled the pot with snow and set it on the fire to boil water.

When Link saw it, he remembered that his space pendant had some snacks that Lucy had specially cooked for him, so he also took them out, half of them were divided among the scouts, and the other half of the meat snacks were all thrown into the iron pot and boiled the meat soup.

Although elemental therapy can replenish the body's consumption, it is always unable to bring pleasure between the mouth and tongue like food, especially the food that Link took out was very delicious, similar to smoked ribs and spicy lobster, everyone who ate it was in a happy mood, and the original physical state that was almost collapsed was slowly recovering.

Anne cowered in the corner, stretched out her hand to roast on the fire, and every now and then ate a few mouthfuls of a delicious snack, and her face gradually regained some blood, but she still looked very weak.

Seeing her like this, Link suddenly remembered that he also had a snow bear skin cloak in his space pendant, which was not very convenient to wear when he was in a hurry, but it was just right at this time.

He took it out and draped it lightly over Anne. Anne glanced at him and smiled gratefully, her eyes almost overflowing with softness.

Link smiled back, then turned to the scouts and said, "It's close to the Arctic Ice Sheet, almost to the end of the Black Forest. I think the Bone Castle should be not far ahead. ”

The scouts listened silently, and everyone was silent.

They all knew in their hearts that the Dark Ghost was already so terrifying, and that Bone Fortress seemed to be the camp of the Dark Ghosts, and the Great Leader of the Dark Ghosts, the closer they were to the Bone Fortress, the closer they were to death.

Link continued, "It's not getting early now, so we'll rest here for the night, recuperate, and set off tomorrow morning." If we haven't encountered a team escorting the Dawn Excalibur on the way, let's go to the vicinity of the Bone Fortress to catch a dark ghost and find out the news. ”

"What if the Dawn Excalibur has already been staked to the Bone Keep?" Anne asked.

This is a very practical question, when the Dawn Excalibur is inside the castle, should they give up or continue to rescue? What if the Sword of Dawn has been demonized?

It's all up to Link to make an idea.

The scouts all looked at Link, and when he spoke, every word he said would decide the fate of everyone present.

Link was silent, chewing the spicy lobster in his mouth, but instead of feeling delicious, it was full of bitterness, this choice was very difficult, and the responsibility was too heavy, not only related to the lives of the scouts present and himself, but even the victory or defeat of this war.

The scouts did not rush and waited patiently.

It took more than ten minutes before Link made up his mind: "If the Dawn Excalibur has been taken into the Bone Fortress, we will do everything possible to rescue it." My plan is that when the time comes, I'll cast my magic from a distance to attract the attention of the other person and talk to them. You take the opportunity to infiltrate the castle in search of the Sword of the Dawn. If he has been demonized, then give up immediately and leave the fortress. If he is still alive, you will rescue him, and I will give you enough time to hold on. ”

The scouts all nodded.

This plan is very risky, whether it is for Link or them, it is a desperate battle, but since Link has decided, then they will do their best to support him.

Anne asked softly, "Mulhouse, if the Dawn Sword is demonized, is there a way to save him?" ”

Link shook his head: "If it's an ordinary demonization, there is a way to reverse it." But this time it's different, this time it's not possible. When you have just completed the demonization, there should be a period of weakness...... If you have the chance, kill him and use the holy silver! ”

With the demonization of the dark rune this time, how could the will of a mortal be able to oppose the gods?

The crowd listened with a heavy heart.

They chased them all the way, except for the occasional sight of a few dark elf villages, and most of the time they were advancing in the wilderness, and there was no trace of the team escorting the Dawn Excalibur on the way.

There are two possibilities for this, for a moment they missed the escort of the Dawn Excalibur. The second is that the Dawn Excalibur has arrived at the Bone Slag Castle.

Neither is good news.

After that, everyone was speechless, and they all quietly looked at the burning beeping firewood, and after a while, the strong aroma of broth came from the pot, and everyone was in a better mood, and began to drink the fragrant broth, and Link also drank some, and felt that the whole person was much warmer.

After a while, the sky darkened, and night fell, and everyone was tired from chasing the dark ghosts for several days and nights, and they all rested against the walls of the wooden house.

The same is true of Link, he feels a little cold, so he shrinks his body, and at some point, he feels his body become warmer, and there is a soft body next to him, and at the same time, he has a warm thick layer of bear skin on his body.

It's Annie.

In a daze, Link didn't refuse, and the two were close together, sharing the warmth of a snow bear skin cloak.

The night was quieter.

In the middle of the night, Link woke up with a sudden movement in his heart, and his ears moved, and he heard the sound of 'Gazzi Giz' stepping on the snow.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be walking towards the cabin, listening to the voice, there were 2 people, and the voice of talking came, in the Dark Elf language.

"I'm freezing to death, this weather." It was a gruff voice.

"Heh~ You said you froze to death before, I believe it. Now that you've been blessed by the Dark Lady, you're still cold, I'll let you fart. Another mocking voice rang out.

"you, I've been carrying this guy all the way, or you can try it. This **** warrior's body is dead and heavy, I bet the armor on his body is at least a hundred kilograms! Oh, no, I need to rest. ”

Hearing these words, Link's heart moved: 'Warrior, still carried by this demonized dark elf, with more than a hundred kilograms of heavy armor, this must be a very powerful warrior, could it be the Dawn Divine Sword? ’

Link was overjoyed, were they ahead of each other? (To be continued.) )
