Chapter Twenty-Six: An Unexpected Discovery
"I don't think it's good. Tien, who never objected to the leader Lucia, would still whisper from time to time, "Nine times out of ten, that great swordsman knows that we are going to Themis Foggy Valley, and it is too dangerous to expose his whereabouts like this." ”
"Rest assured, Tien. "We may not be able to defeat the Dawn of the Night head-on, but that doesn't mean they can catch us, with you in the crypt, Yulai in the mountains, and Marcus in the night, what's there to fear?"
Enid's slight compliment clearly made Tine feel a little happy, and he took small steps proudly and said, "That being said, Enid, don't you like to be chased around, it's not a good thing." ”
"Pai noodles?", Olwes smiled slightly mockingly, remembering the arrogant Bloodclan Zhanchekov, "if the embarrassment can give us a little more safety and luck, I wouldn't mind having a few more." ”
Lucia laughed brightly, apparently hearing Innid's words, and asked Yulai, "Have you determined the location of the Wind Key, and how far is it?"
The handsome half-elf raised his pointed ears on the ground and frowned, the snow that flowed in made him feel uncomfortable, "I'm not sure if it's not, Lucia, there are two strange places in the snowfield, one without a sound, and the other is a vacuum in my perception. ”
"There should be no problem, the place where you said there is no sound is the same as the result of Enid's probing, it should be the location of the "Wind Key", and the perception vacuum may be the location of the "Snow Key", since there is no vegetation there, it is impossible to transmit any information to you. Lucia said thoughtfully.
"The only thing that was a bit of a problem was that the two places were so far apart that we had to split into two teams in order to be in a hurry. ”
"How do you divide the two teams?", Tien's little eyes lit up, "I'm going to be on a team with Enid!"
Olwes turned back in surprise, her eyes piercing the little dwarf, "What's your plot? Tyne? I can tell you, now I have three great spells in my wand." ”
Yulai interrupted their argument with a cough and said, "Then I can only enter the other team, what about the rest, how do you divide it?"
Lucia rushed over and hugged Olwes, laughing, "I'm going to have to be on the same team with Enid anyway." ”
Yulai sighed and covered her head in annoyance, "Lucia, you ran over, Mia is also going to be with Enid, so the rest of Marcas, Ankka and I are on the team?"
"That's all I can do. "Be careful, everyone, and lead the way, Yulai." ”
Seeing Anka's bulky body disappear into the snow, Lucia smiled and said, "Then let's head towards the Eye of the Wind as well." ”
The wind and snow on the top of the cliff were getting bigger and bigger, and Olwesse's skin hurt like a knife and her eyes narrowed, and most of her vision was white, and if it weren't for the guidance of magic over human reason, she was not sure that she would be able to judge the right direction.
Each time the soles of their feet fell into the snow, it was a drain on her strength, but they had to stumble quickly to avoid the aftermath of the avalanche. The white torrent that poured down from the mountain swept them all away, and Olwes wasted no magic in the face of the irresistible power of nature.
An arm pulled her out from under the snow, and Lucia patted her on the back to help her cough the ice out, saying, "It's good that Enid isn't as weak as other magicians, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to save you." ”
Olwes knelt on the snow and shivered, chanting a spell to cast a magical "furnace", the warmth of which rushed from her palm into her body to drive away the cold, and even the thin layer of ice attached to the robes turned into mist and dispersed in the wind and snow.
"Is Mia alright?"
"It's fine. Lucia replied, "the blood of the devil can make her endure very extreme conditions, and even this cold and snowy land only makes her feel a little cool. How far is it, Enid?"
"The avalanche skewed our path and we couldn't get the road ahead, and if we had to take a detour, we might have to walk 500 furlongs (about 100,000 meters). Olwes said, standing up and shaking off the snow that had accumulated again.
"That's terrible!", Tine muttered, "I'm going to make a reagent that can melt all the annoying snow and ice of this mountain." ”
"Alchemists don't have that ability either. Lucia spread out the map and threw it to him with a smile, "Tien, go and see which way you can go." ”
"Got it. The dwarf took the map and patted the flying machine on his belt, and a stream of steam gushed out from the metal tailpipe behind him and pushed him straight into the air, but the steam was not as strong as before, but it gushed a few times and then slowly weakened and stopped.
The gnome let out a scream in the air, "Catch me, Enid! it's frozen!", and before he could finish speaking, the dwarf in the sky rained down on everyone's eyes, and the wind and snow poured into his terrified mouth.
Olwes chanted, and a current swirled up in the snow, grabbing Tyne and wrapping him up, causing him to fall to the ground like a feather.
"Whew...", Tyne sat on the ground with his legs limp, patted his chest and said, "Iron-beaten dwarves, scared dwarves." ”
"Don't talk too much, do you see the way?", Olves asked, picking him up.
The gnome, who was picked up by Olves, was obviously a little frightened, and whispered, "The wind is too strong, I can't see clearly." ”
"Hehe...", Olwes sneered, "Then you can go up and see it again!"
A flash of lightning sent it high into the air with Tern's screams.
"Enid, are you good at wind magic, too?" Lucia asked, a little surprised.
"This is impossible, Lucia, a magician can only be good at three types of magic at most, and the rest of the magic systems cannot reach the level of great magic. Orwess saw the opportunity to catch Tyne again, "I'm just using the magnetic magic of the lightning gate, and Tyne always likes to carry some weird metal gadgets on his body. ”
"How's it going, Tyn, do you see it this time?", I have to say that Enid's smile is much more terrifying than the demon at the moment, and Tine shivered a few times in the wind and snow and nodded.
During the long journey, they encountered snow rats in the snowfield, and these low-level magical beasts gathered together also caused them a lot of trouble, but fortunately, the lightning magic that Orwes is good at will increase a little more in this weather, and the vast swarm of rats can only be reduced to pieces of meat under Lucia's sword flower after being filtered by the vast thunder net.
And then the cunning three-legged fox really made them suffer enough, due to the cover of the snow, Tine did not find the trap dug by these demonic beasts, and the four of them fell directly into the deep pit dug by the three-legged fox.
These deep pits are supposed to be set up for large magical beasts, the bottom of the cave and the walls of the cave are frozen and brittle soil, and the struggle will only make the pit deeper and deeper, even Lucia can't climb up and down, maybe only the three-legged fox with soft claws will walk up and down freely.
"I don't know how deep the dirt is going to be hard to get hard. Lucia put her sword into its sheath with some annoyance, and the moment the sword was inserted, the dirt shook off in a slurch, and there was no support for the sword, and the scene reminded her of the sandcastle built by the sea.
"In two or three hours, the three-legged fox will start moving, and the scenery of their underground nest is not good. Olwes angrily raised her leg and kicked Tyne.
The dwarf covered his ass and yelled, "I can't be blamed for this, thieves are not omnipotent!"
"Olvis, can't your lightning magic just send us there?", Lucia asked.
"Tyne is small and light to achieve that effect, and it seems to isolate the magnetism here. Olwes scrutinized the trap, "I didn't expect that we would be planted under the wisdom of the Monsters, it's ironic. ”
She touched Mia's little head, which was a little helpless, "If I really can't do it, I can only consume the precious teleportation scroll." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you're in trouble!", laughter came from the top of the high pit, and a human head poked out, "Good priest Gerald, glad to help you." ”
Olwes quickly calmed down from her surprise and looked into her silver eyes, which made her feel very uncomfortable, "You're as good at tracking as thieves, Gerald, are you trying to threaten us after you rescue us?"
"How can thieves compare to us? Miss Enid, the king of the night, the Bloods are just the prey of the wolves fleeing before us. Gerald bowed gracefully, and after a brief prayer, countless points of light fell in the air around the four Olwesses to lift them up.
"Hmm.." Olweis broke out of the trap and looked at the elite operators of the Inquisition dressed as priests, his white robe was no longer embroidered with the cross of fire and wilderness, but he still did not have the warmth of the priest.
"It seems that you are on your way to find the Wind Key, and we might as well cultivate trust along the way. ”
