"Don't worry about Marken and them yet, find Claudia first!"

Kruvien said decisively.

"Okay."

Roland nodded approvingly.

With the speed at which the yellow letters on the bracelet appeared, I am afraid that Claudia would die in no more than an hour. Even though the snow has stopped now, moving through the snow is still very laborious.

If you go to Luther Town first, it will be too late.

But where will Claudia be?

Starting from the current Roland place, if you search the entire pyroxene woodland, it will take at least four hours. Even if Roland used the winding technique to maneuver at high speed, it could only be compressed to the extent of nearly an hour.

And that's just too much of a time crunch. In case he encountered a relatively high-level pyroxene species, Roland was not confident that he would be able to kill them quickly.

You know, pyroxene monsters ignore weakness strikes - with Roland's current attack, it would be very difficult to defeat a pyroxene demonic creature that was starting to crystallize without using weakness strikes.

Mistletoe's Touch can't absorb the life force of demonized creatures, and Ember Entanglement can't damage pyroxene species that also have the characteristics of the Dusk Species, and without the bonus of Wild Feast, Entanglement doesn't have the strength to pull heavy pyroxene species.

The only thing that can come in handy is the Kalal Slash Sword with the hammerhead effect.

Thinking of this, Roland took his sword and the short sword he had taken from the sewers out of his suitcase, and then hung the suitcase on the shield behind Kruvien.

"You can help me get it, it's inconvenient for me to carry this."

"Okay."

Kruvien replied and took the large shield from behind him. With a slight twist, a circle of sharp blades pierced the edge of the shield more than half a person high.

This doesn't do much for pyroxene species......

See here. Roland sighed again.

If only Kacarit were still by his side. The priest of the Sage restrains himself to the Twilight seed as much as the priest of the gods restrains himself from the walking dead. There is a silver-level mourner by his side, and the demonized creatures below the silver can be said to have died as many as they come.

But when Roland went before. Kakarit has been sent to blend in with the survivors.

After all, it's a long way from the City of Fortune to Falar, and there is a legitimate mourner who follows those survivors and brainwashes the spirit of that group...... I mean, psychotherapy is very convenient.

With more than ninety percent of the people believing in the Elder Fallar, it is very difficult to convert them. Therefore, this matter must be done as soon as possible.

But old Joseph, Roland had already asked him to go to Luther Town to inquire about the situation first.

For this old priest who has believed in the Lord of the Dark for many years but has not been reused, Roland has been thinking about it for a long time.

Anyway, the dam in the City of Fortune has been blown up by Roland, and the clergy are no longer restricted by the Great Barrier of Karar in the vicinity.

If Roland had been around there, he would have been able to talk to the Sleeping Mentor even with a mere 10 o'clock perception - not as a voter now, who had to pray specifically to hear the Sleeping Mentor's voice.

Roland planned to wait until he could get a lot of mercury. It was after he was promoted to the death of the crow that he went to the ruins of the City of Fortune to collect the dying Tree of Suffering, and then called on the Sleeping Master to transform old Joseph into a mourner along the way.

A talent like this, who has more than fifty years of underground work experience, will definitely be of great help to Roland during the plague revival. It would be a shame to die with the plague.

Roland had already arranged these things, and neither the Tree of Crucifixion nor Joseph Sr. could make any big waves.

The only thing Roland was worried about was the Templars of Tyre. They didn't know that the Society of Truth had been buried by Roland, and it was estimated that it was almost ready to be assembled......

Let's hope they won't give away the head to feed the Tree of Suffering.

…… Wait, this is?

The glint of doubt in Roland's eyes flickered, and he was slightly stunned. Then he stabbed the sword and the blue fang at his waist along with the scabbard.

"Kruvien, I'm Doyd, and I'm moving faster in the woods than you do...... To save time, let's split up! ”

Roland turned back to Cruvine. Four vines slowly stretched out from the sleeves, and two more vines pulled out from the ankles: "You look for it from the road, I'll look for it from the depths of the forest!" If anything, throw something into the sky and call me! ”

"Good!" Kruvien said immediately. Then he took his shield and ran back the way he came.

Roland nodded slightly, but did not move a single step under his feet.

As for where Claudia is. Roland now had a vague conjecture in his mind.

What Roland didn't tell Cruvine was that he had even seen Claudia's footprints—the footprints of a man. There are no footprints of Macen, and there are no footprints of Anros. Not even Claude's footprints.

And that footprint led to a very familiar place in Roland.

In that kind of narrow terrain, Kruvien couldn't move at all. It's better to let him go first and see if anyone has set up a card on a few major roads.

Can set traps in pyroxene glades to lure. The one who attracted Claudia must have been a demonic creature infected by Dusk. If Roland's prediction is right, even Luther Town has probably been controlled by these monsters, and their purpose is pyroxene.

But as for the slimy shapeshifters of Kabbalah's enemies, or Isdemon, who manipulates people's hearts with illusions, this will have a big impact on Roland's tactical choices in the future.

"Roland!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Roland looked back suspiciously, only to find someone who shouldn't have been.

Thin, about 1.75 meters tall, with a resolute expression, and a vertical scar on the left side of his face.

None other than Marken.

"Marken? How did you end up here? ”

"I want to ask you!"

Marken said angrily, "Aren't you with Kruvine?" What about Kruvien? ”

Roland's eyes flashed, and he said casually: "He's gone to find Claudia...... By the way, what about Claudia and her grandfather? ”

"The old priest, you say? He's still in town," Marken shrugged, "after all, Caral is a little too dangerous for a priest. ”

"That's right."

Roland nodded approvingly.

At this moment, Marken suddenly asked, "By the way, Roland, do you have any clue about Claudia's whereabouts?" ”

"Yes." Roland nodded vigorously, pulling Macen's sleeve with his right hand and letting him get closer to the footprints left on the snow, "Look. Here are Claudia's footprints. ”

"Based on how long it took for the snow to stop, that's about a footprint left two hours ago."

Roland said calmly: "Although this footprint has become very shallow and intermittent because of the new snow, it is fortunate that you can see her direction." ”

"In that direction, the only building with existential significance is undoubtedly the tomb of a thousand heads."

Roland's voice was cold and pleasant, full of confidence between the lines: "There, Cruvien is unable to move with a large shield, but my movement is much easier. ”

As his words fell, Maken's expression was almost stunned.

“…… You know a lot. If I hadn't known you were a blighter, I would have thought you were a wizard. ”

"Wizards don't just set foot in pyroxene glades." Roland said something in his words.

"Who knows, maybe a fool will."

Marken shrugged his shoulders and jokingly gave Roland a knightly salute.

"Miss Roland, the road to the tomb of a thousand heads is bumpy, please let me go ahead and explore the way."

"Then please. It just so happens that I'm not very good at this either. ”

Roland replied with a smile.

Seeing Marken turn his head and walk in that direction, the smile on Roland's face gradually grew cold.

He wiped the right hand that had touched Marken on his robe, and looked at Marken's back with mockery in his eyes. (To be continued......)
