"How were our friends doing these two days?" asked Perrante.

"Leona and Baldwin are fine," said Carryben, who seemed to have used these days as a short, comfortable day of rest on the journey, and Baldwin showed his skills as hunters and warriors, hunting a pod of fat, long-legged rabbits and a seal for Leona, and Leona, like the women of the Alatileit, kept their igloos warm and clean, tanned every rabbit fur, and smoked the seal meat: "McGee...... Not bad either. Surprisingly, the gnome seemed to get along with the children of the tribe in perfect harmony, though Kerry later found his behavior to be rather speechless in nature.

Of course, the tribes of the Alatiliths are extremely poor, but that does not mean that they do not have treasures in their hands - the sea brings more than just fish and algae, amber, coral, Tourmaline, walrus tusks, fish skulls, these things are polished shiny, smooth, sometimes they are fished along with fishing nets, sometimes you can find them in the sand and gravel, sometimes you can find these small things that they swallow as fish eggs when digging into the belly of big fish, the Alatirites may not clearly understand their value, but except for a few people with unusual aesthetics, most people will find these shiny little stones very cute, even if there are no tools to make holes in these stones, some young women will use animal hair twisted thread to net the stones and hang them on their chests and foreheadsChildren are even more enthusiastic about them as toys and trophies.

And what does the dwarf McGee use to exchange with the children, using the small toys he makes, such as a bird that can fly several feet high with its wings, a little crab that can click and crawl on its own, and a puppet that constantly spins and dances face to face...... And these things were made of whalebone and wood that floated with the waves, and there was no cost of a copper coin except time and craftsmanship, but Kerry had not said anything after watching for a while, and the children's smiles were the most powerful persuasion that in this tribe that might never be passed by or stopped by a caravan, the gems were just small stones with colors, and for these children, the work of the gnome was perhaps more worthy of being treasured and remembered.

"Gülen ......"

"I think I already know. Perrant looked at the dark-haired spellcaster, "Kremall, I think you'd better be able to talk to him." ”

The Otherworldly Soul nodded, though he was still a little strange - neither Glenn nor Mame looked like people who would lose their minds for love - Mame was Flo's priest, and she didn't give up her life or identity for him when she was in love with Berdwin, and Glenn was the leader of a thief's guild and could have countless women. It was not surprising that they walked together, after all, many Priests Flo would travel with thieves for a while, sometimes for refuge, sometimes out of partnership, and more often for their own desires, gold or information, but Glenn and Memmy's behavior showed that their feelings were not as shallow as one might think.

"And you," Perrant admired the appearance of the shells spreading on the scorching slate, "I see that too," the druid raised his left eyebrow, "it's quite pleasant." ”

"Do you want salmon meat?" The fresh salmon meat is only rubbed with a thin layer of salt, and it looks like clouds before sunset, and it is fragrant when it is slightly grilled.

"Give me two, thank you. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I'll share a room with Gülen tonight. The spirit of the other world said, "I can just talk to him." ”

"Is that okay?" Perrant asked, and he and Gülen and McGee had an igloo not because he liked thieves and gnomes, but just to limit and spy on them.

"I'm a mage. The black-haired spellcaster said, "You and Kerryben are together, get a good night's sleep." ”

"Cremar is right," said Kerryburn, "you really need a good night's rest." "The druid's complexion was not very pretty, even gray, and his eyes were covered with a cloud-like blue-black.

The caster cast one last small spell before walking out of the igloo, which not only swept away the turbid smell and dampness of the igloo, but also made the igloo a little warmer, the masonry roof and walls of the igloo instantly melted a little, but then it froze and became harder than before, and the elves watched as he pushed away the snow bear's fur and walked out.

"Cremar looks much better. Perrante said.

"Yes. Carey said, "Do you want to sleep inside or outside?"

"What happened?" Perrant asked, Kerry obviously didn't want to tell him what had happened between him and Cremar, but the druids really didn't want more unrest in the team: "Has his injury healed?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Kerriben stood up and began to arrange the lichen and fur on the ice bed.

"He hurt his eye before. What else...... Place?" Perrante said, "For example...... Thoughts, or, souls?"

Kerribben turned, "I thought you knew, Uncle Perante," he said, "Medusa's petrified gaze only works on the body." ”

"He runs away from us, he runs away from you. ”

"He was seriously injured. ”

"Isn't it because he's seriously injured that he needs to seek help from his peers?" said Perlante.

"Please......"

"I thought that little Carrey, who climbed to the top of the silvercrown tree and hid himself in the leaves without wanting to eat celery, had been away from us for a long time. ”

"Cremar is not celery. ”

"He asked you to call me Uncle Perrante instead of Perante. "I think he's a lot scarier than celery," Perrante said. ”

"Don't say that," Kerry took a deep breath, "you said you should allow your companion to keep his secrets. ”

"At a time when this secret won't hurt you. ”

"He won't. Kerry said categorically.

"I hope so. Perrante said, "Well, we should rest." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Unfortunately, Perrante's wish was apparently impossible to fulfill tonight, and before he could stand up, he heard a terrible scream.

The druid only slapped lightly on the ground, jumping up like a fawn, and Kerry grabbed his quiver and longbow and threw it at him, and then quickly grabbed his "Starlight" and "Silver Crown", and the elves' twin knives roared leisurely in the pale light.

When the elves rushed out of the igloo, they saw a chaotic chaos, and the aratilite igloo was about two hundred feet away from their igloo, and at this distance, of course, Kerriben and Perrant could see their faces without difficulty. What alarmed them was that these strong warriors, who were fearless even in the face of killer whales and snow bears, all looked horrified, some of them even fell to their knees in the snow and ice, trembling, even a cry was released, and some of them scratched their throats desperately, as if they were caught by an invisible hand in the neck, and a woman crawled out of the igloo, and then collapsed beside a dark green lichen with a bruised and frightened face.

"Cremar!" cried Kerryburn.

By this time, the black-haired spellcaster had already cast the first spell, and the scorching light broke through the dim white light, illuminating the corners and gaps between the igloo and the igloo, and the dark shadow was exposed at once—the tribal shaman stumbled out, shouting, "Sea ghost woman, sea ghost woman!"

Knowing that they had been discovered, the sea ghosts simply did not hide their tracks anymore, and they bared their teeth and jumped out of the snowdrift and mud, and shrieked at the humans. Their faces were so hideous and ugly, like a pile of rotting seaweed with facial features, like melted wax people, their skin was as green and yellow as feces, their epidermis was covered with large and small sarcomas and pus-spilling blisters, their teeth were black and curved inward, like barbs on a harpoon, and once bitten they would be pulled off a large piece of flesh - Almost every sea ghost woman has caught a prey, either a woman or a child, and there is a particularly strong sea ghost woman who even has one in her hand and one between her teeth.

Their faces and expressions were like the aura of fear carried by the lich itself, and they had the power to make the less determined faint and at least lose the ability to resist, but the Alatirites, led by Nanuk, regained their courage almost instantly after the initial panic - it was none other than their wives, their mothers, and their children, who else could protect them?

The shaman prayed loudly, and kept grabbing something out of a large shell and sprinkling it on them, whatever it was, which further awakened and strengthened the strong warriors, and they roared and threw spears and harpoons at the sea ghosts, and these weapons against whales and seals cut the skin and flesh of the sea ghosts, causing them to let out a terrible scream, and the leader of the sea ghosts suddenly grabbed a piece of festering flesh and threw it at the tribal shamans. The festering flesh smelled of filth and rancidity, and even the Alatirit, who could think of the pickled puffins that were buried in the belly of the seals fermented as a supreme delicacy, could not help but be disgusted by it, Nanuk lunged over and pushed the shaman away, the flesh falling on his bare back, the place immediately red and swollen, and the coherent, crystalline abscess spread all over his back in a few breaths, and tended to spread to his neck and waist.

"Don't let them go!" shouted the shaman, "Don't let them go to the sea, then we will never find our children again!"

Of course, the Alatirit people, who have been infested many times by the sea ghost woman, know this, the sea ghost woman survives in the sea, the cold and cruel sea has always been their best shelter, and those who are brought into the sea by the sea ghost woman will drown even if they are not eaten. But the sea ghosts seemed to have endless strength, and harpoons and spears could not inflict fatal damage on them, and many times, the sea ghosts just pulled out the weapons that stabbed them, and did not care about the wounds that bleed with filthy blood, even if there were hundreds of such wounds - they could still jump and fly, or simply uproot the obstacles in front of them and throw them aside - The igloos of the Alatirites were less than a thousand feet from the sea, and the sea ghosts ran like a foul sea breeze, and the human harpoons and spears fell behind them, and some of the Alatirites were already crying.

By this time the elves' arrows had arrived. The shimmering steel arrows whistled and flew through the neck of one of the sea ghosts, striking the ankles of another, and she fell from mid-air, and the Alatirites, who were chasing behind, immediately pounced on her and smashed her head with stones...... Perrant's arrows were made of steel only in the dark, but that didn't stop them from destroying the soft navels and perhaps the eyes of the sea ghosts, and though they were as difficult to catch as the wings of a hummingbird in their rapid motion—the knives thrown by Glenn the Thief were slightly less powerful than the elves' bows, but they were also reassuring.

But there were still four sea ghosts who ran to the sea with their prey, and their claws set off huge waves in the sea, just a little, just a little, the leader of the sea ghosts was full of joy to think of the prey in her mouth, Nanuk's little daughter shed warm blood between her unconsciously tightened teeth, the child's tender skin and flesh were the great love of the sea ghosts, and the woman she held in her hands actually began to resist, but it didn't matter, the sea ghost women like other intelligent monsters like to see their prey struggle and lament, they liked to watch the prey drowned alive, their eyes bulging out, their mouths wide open, just like humans would add pepper and salt to a veal steak.

Glenn stopped chasing the monster as he saw the mage skimming the sky.

The spirit of the other world calmly threw his spell at the sea, not at the sea ghosts, and blue-white lightning fell from the sky and struck the surface of the sea, and the water, which was more conductive than freshwater, guided the thunder and lightning to spread in all directions, flashing purple and gold flashes between the waves—and the sea ghosts sank violently.
