On the seventh day of his eastward journey, Chen Senran finally set foot on the deep snow at the end of East Freljord.

When his feet felt the softness and transparency of the freshly accumulated snow last night, he finally let out a long breath, and after seven days of climbing over mountains and mountains, the snow was majestic, and finally arrived here in the time of planning.

According to Sejuani, once the highest peak of the North Iron Ridge Mountain, which stands at the end of East Freljord, is found, then the gateway to the northeast is located in its silhouette.

Thinking of this, Chen Senran couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

At this time, the sky was already bright and thorough, the snow that had fallen overnight had stopped, and the terrain was getting higher and higher to the east, and there were no clouds in the sky, when Chen Senran looked at the sky, the whole sky showed a magnificent sky blue in front of his eyes.

Under that azure skylight, there was a mountain peak that abruptly rose into the sky from the south, standing sharp in a corner of the sky like a sword that broke the sky.

"That's the highest peak of the North Iron Ridge Mountain." Karthas didn't know when he walked to his side, this old immortal guy closed the expedition notebook that had been turned over by him, raised his head and looked at the sky, although his face was hidden in his hat, Chen Senran always felt that his eyes should be straight at that moment.

"yes." Chen Senran didn't care about Karthas's abnormality either, and he moved his gaze to the mountain.

At this time, although the sun had not yet risen to the middle of the sky, the sunlight was shining on the snow-capped mountain very clearly, pulling the lonely high peak into a sharp silhouette.

"Do you know the truth?" Karthas was still looking at the mountain, and he seemed to be in a state of mind for a moment, and his tone was a little distant, like the beginning of a story.

Chen Senran didn't say anything, his eyes slowly moved in one direction along the sharp silhouette.

"Legend has it that there is an immortal bird in this world, born in the coldest snow and ice, and only lives on the highest peaks all its life, its body will die, but every time its body dies, its spirit will be mixed with ice and snow again to reorganize new life, until the next death." Karthas didn't seem to stop because of Chen Senran's silence, but became more and more interested in talking, and finally told a story that sounded a bit nonsense.

About immortality.

Chen Senran narrowed his eyes, and a divine bird called the phoenix in the previous world came to his mind, and that kind of bird also did not die, but every time it was reborn in flames.

However, he still did not answer, because he was a little unsure of what Karthas was trying to tell this slightly inexplicable story, so he simply ignored Karthus, and his eyes continued to follow the silhouette.

"Then why doesn't it go down the mountain?" It was little Anne who was lying on Chen Senran's back who spoke, because the road was not easy to walk these days, Chen Senran and their horses had long since abandoned, and little Anne retreated to sleep on Chen Senran's back, at this time she had just been woken up by a gust of cold wind, and happened to hear the slightly novel story of Karthas, so she asked casually with sleepy eyes.

"Why is it going down the mountain?" Seeing that someone was finally interested in his story, Karthas seemed to smile lowly and asked rhetorically with interest.

"Because ......" little Lori lovingly rubbed her eyes that were still a little open, yawned and said, "It will never die, so how boring it must be to stay in one place all the time, like I used to be locked in a small dark room by my mother to learn magic, I couldn't stand it for three days, I thought it would only live in one place forever, that ......"

"How?" Karthas's interest grew stronger and stronger, and he seemed to be looking forward to Little Annie's answer, he rubbed the bleak staff in his hand, walked to Chen Senran, stood side by side with him, and looked at Little Annie.

Although little Anne has been getting along with Karthhas a lot recently, she is not as afraid of this old monster as she was at the beginning, but she is still a little afraid to see this old monster turn her face all of a sudden.

She curled up slightly, leaned her little head next to Chen Senran's head, and said a little timidly, "Then how lonely it should be." ”

Timid tone, immature voice, but inadvertently said a sentence that was like reason.

Therefore, children sometimes tend to see the simplest and most thorough.

Karthas seemed to be stunned for a moment, or perhaps it was that sentence that led to the countless loneliness of the hundreds of years of long time that had been hidden in his heart, and his hand rubbing his staff stiffened for a moment.

"Hey, I've lived for hundreds of years...... Sir, you haven't told me why it doesn't go down the mountain? "Little Anne must have wanted to call the old monster, but she was probably still very suspicious of Karthus, and she was very polite to ask at the end.

"Because ......," Karthas finally came to his senses, he no longer looked at little Anne, his heavily gloved hand continued to rub the staff, his eyes looked at the blue sky in the distance, and he spoke, as if he was a little surprised, "When it comes down, the whole world will be destroyed." ”

Little Anne was stunned when she heard this, she muttered a little stupidly about the destruction of the world, and then laughed again, probably thinking that this story was quite interesting.

"Today's rare good weather, let's come down and take a walk." Chen Senran looked at the smiling face of the little Lori, scraped the tip of her delicate nose, and put her down from behind.

The little girl's spirit seemed to have improved a little with this sleep, and she didn't continue to rely on Chen Senran's back, and after a sigh of gratitude, she smiled and ran towards the relatively flat snow in front of her, probably to play in the snow.

"Does that bird live on this mountain?" Chen Senran glanced at Karthas, and of course he heard that Karthas was not just telling a story.

Karthas was silent, he seemed to be still looking at the clear sky, and after a long time he said, "The silhouette points to that col." ”

Seeing that Karthhas avoided talking about this issue, Chen Senran was not interested in delving into it, after all, this old guy had always been mysterious.

Of course, he had already discovered the mountain col that Karthas was talking about, and just as Chen Senran wanted to walk towards the mountain pass, he suddenly heard an exclamation.

It was the voice of the little Lori, Chen Senran burst out instantly, but when his feet were halfway up, he couldn't help laughing.

Because he saw that little Lori was not attacked by some monster or any other sudden situation, but was hit all over his face by a snowball, and he was looking at himself pitifully.

Just when Chen Senran wanted to go up to comfort her with some amusement, a slightly immature voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"You outsiders, get out of the snowman's territory quickly, but don't annoy the snowman, or you'll be doomed."

As this sound fell, there was a faint roar of unknown species drifting in the wind.

————————

The chapter was stuck for four hours.

Sometimes I think about don't write, go to sleep, you're not this material at all.

But, but.

However, when my hand touched the keyboard, I knew that I should be like Simon Blowing Snow.

Simon Blowing Snow died at all times except when he killed people.

And I, except when I was writing the story, I also died at other times.

My life shouldn't have died like this.
