an hour ago.

The Land of Frost, located in Valhalla, the territory of the Frostwolf family.

Shayl placed a longsword into the furnace in front of him and burned it, and the resin coated on the sword ignited instantly.

She took the sword and turned to look at the kneeling people in Valhalla, some of them the rulers of the Frostwolf Clan, and some of the generals Shayl had brought from the Land of Frost.

And those who belonged to the Frostwolf family had expressions of grief on their faces that could not be concealed.

The priest standing beside Shayl chanted an ancient and mysterious prayer, and Shayl tossed his cup-lit sword onto the 'wooden bed' made of a large number of branches in front of him.

On this 'bed' lay three men who had been lost, one of whom was the eldest son of the patriarch of the Frostwolf family, and the other two were the eldest son's attendants.

The branches were set ablaze by the flames, and their bodies were burned with flames, and in the flickering light of the fire, Shayl could see the hideous green tendons on the eldest son's cheeks.

The three of them were not killed by Shail, but by the patriarch of the Frostwolf family.

Shayl walked down the steps with a blank face, and the patriarch of the Frostwolf Clan followed Shail.

"What the hell is going on?" Shayl stared at the man beside him, who was a full head taller than himself.

"Ruins."

The patriarch of the Frostwolf Clan had unimaginable tiredness in his voice.

"A ruin has been discovered in a mine in the mountains on the edge of Frostwolf City, and Neve has loved to explore since he was a child, so he took his younger brother and an entire team of Frostwolf guards to explore the ruins."

Neve is the name of the Frostwolf family's son, and when Shayl leads his troops to the Frostwolf family to subdue the family, he finds that the entire Frostwolf City is in an atmosphere of grief.

"What about the survivors?"

Shayl had observed the condition of the three corpses, as if they had been affected by the gray mist.

This made Shayl suspect that all this was some kind of conspiracy of the Inquisition.

But what made Shayl strange was that she screened the Frostwolf family once, and found that there was no heresy lurking in the entire Frostwolf family.

"Your Majesty, please go this way."

The patriarch of the Frostwolf family led Shayl towards the place where the priests of the Frostwolf family lived.

Here Shayl met those who survived.

Some of them fell to the ground, unconscious, and some looked like they were in a nightmare.

The most seriously ill group were tied to the bed with ropes, but they were still in a very violent state and were struggling in bed.

The second son of the patriarch of the Frostwolf family was one of the few people who were tied up, but the second son was different from the others, although the bruises on his face did not subside, he did not act as violent as the others, although his expression was still full of pain.

"Ravel!"

The patriarch immediately stepped aside when he saw his second son's symptoms.

"His symptoms yesterday were just as severe as his brother's." The patriarch of the Frostwolf family said to Shail.

"But it looks a lot better now?"

Shayl walked over to him and looked at the second son, who did seem to be reacting much better than those who were terminally ill.

"Priest! Where are the priests! The patriarch immediately called out to the priest in charge of healing.

A priest with a wolf's skin on his head walked out quickly.

"What did you do?" The patriarch asked, staring at the priest.

"It's the potion that Lord Neve brought back from the ruins." The priest hurriedly said, "We tested the effect of that potion yesterday and found that it was not toxic and relieved the symptoms of a frostwolf guard, so we brought it to Lord Ravel today." ”

"Elixir? The golden bauble? If you know it works, don't hurry up and get some more! The patriarch shouted again.

"Mistress Neve only brought back a small vial." The priest was a little embarrassed and said, "We have all brought them to Lord Ravel." ”

This sentence instantly gave the old patriarch a glimpse of hope, and he took a step to prepare to leave here.

"Where are you going?"

Shayl said as he stood in front of him.

"Fuck that damn ruin! Your Majesty, please do not stop me. "The patriarch looked exhausted, and he had lost one of his proudest sons overnight, and he could no longer watch his second son die of this strange disease.

"Have you forgotten how your eldest son died? The creatures that appear in the ruins may be beyond your reach. ”

Shail's voice was like an icy cold wind, instantly saving the patriarch from the brink of impulse.

"Then Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" here to watch my people die!" The patriarch asked.

"Let's figure out what's going on in the ruins first!"

Shayl was again in front of the second son.

His condition had eased considerably, but the gray fog was still affecting him.

Shayl took out the World Tree leaf that he was carrying, and the moment the pendant appeared, the life force from the World Tree began to gradually stabilize the second son's pain.

It works!

Shayl opened the interface of the magic web and found a file that the fire-bearer had sent her earlier, which recorded the singing voice of a frost elf.

Her singing voice mitigates the effects of the gray fog, something Shayl had proven long ago.

Soothing elven poems resounded throughout the hall along with the inscriptions of Shail's 'sounds' and 'amplifications'.

When the second son heard the singing, his closed eyes twitched slightly, and finally they opened.

"Father... Father? Should... Damn it! Get out of my head! ”

But the moment his eyes opened, his emotions were very excited, and the huge strength even broke free from the comfort of the rope.

"Ravel!" When the patriarch saw his second son awaken, his face was full of joy.

But the second son was not very friendly, and with a wave of his hand he broke the bed he slept on.

Shayl watched this scene, and a pale blue frost appeared on his hand, and in an instant, the second son's whole body was shrouded in frost and could not move, only his head was exposed to the outside of the ice.

"I just restrained his movements." Shayl looked at the second son, his expression gradually calming under the soothing voice of the song.

"Ravel, tell me... What happened to you in the ruins? ”

Shayl said to the second son in an irrefutable tone.

"A monster without a face." The second son replied to Sayle in a tired tone.

"No... Face? ”

This answer surprised Shail, who assumed that they had encountered someone from the Inquisition.

But that doesn't seem to be the case now......

"Wolves and bears, and frost scorpions, but they don't have faces." The second son's reaction became terrifying again, and Shayl hesitated for a moment, and pressed the leaves of the World Tree to his cheek before he reluctantly came back to his senses.

"And a bunch of slimy creatures... We're surrounded. He said.

"And how did you get out?!" Shayl asked again.

"Light... There was also a sound. ”

The second son's gaze looked at the top of the ceiling, and gradually rolled his eyes.

"Those beasts can't see the light, and there are some noises, I don't know very well."

"Really? This information is enough, rest well. ”

Feeling that this was enough, Sayil knocked the second son unconscious with her backhand, and then retrieved the leaves of her World Tree.

But the moment he retrieved the leaves of the World Tree, Shayl realized that something was wrong.

That's when her signal drops from full to only two yellow bars.

What's going on?

Nervously, Sayle took the leaf and looked at it carefully for a while, and found that some of the leaf's tender green parts had turned gray.

The leaves of this World Tree seem to have been partially corroded by the gray mist! The worst part... Corrosion is slowly expanding.

At this moment, Shail's heart was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of crisis, which was far more overwhelming than when she was surrounded by rebels in the royal city!

"Your Majesty?" The patriarch also noticed some abnormal expressions on Shail's face from the side.

But it was his second son who worried him, who still looked like he was suffering from illness.

"Get your fighters ready, I need to take a break before that."

After saying all this, Shayl left the hall at a brisk pace.
