The village of Skar is located by the sea, the village mainly lives on fishing and hunting, and with the thick cotton clothes, if they don't live in an igloo, Zhang Lin even has the feeling of seeing the Inuit (Eskimo) people on the earth.

The unprocessed three-tusked walrus was hung upside down on a wooden frame, its blood long since dried and covered with a thick layer of frost, apparently what had happened in the village that had left the rest of the people unprepared to handle their prey.

At the entrance to the village, several tightly wrapped male Skars were moving their compatriots into a large room, and several young children were helping out, but their little strength and panting did not have much effect, because the children were too young to be controlled.

"Be careful, Aietta, you're knocking Uncle Mir's head on it."

"Oh, I didn't mean to!"

In the clearing of the village, three people were sitting on their knees, and a white cyclone spiraled up from the middle of the three: Freya's father, Skar's shaman Stone and the other two shamans, Fenna and Nicholas, all of whom were so old that only together could they maintain the barrier that protected the village for a long time.

"Father, I brought them back, and there is good news that Mirak has left Southam." Freya trotted over to her father, "You should rest for a while." ”

"Stone, you can rest first, just have the two of us here." The only female shaman among the three, Fenna, opened her eyes and looked at Stone opposite and said.

Stone slowly opened his eyes, his wrinkled face revealing exhaustion, but he still smiled, glanced at his daughter gently, and then moved his gaze to Zhang Lin and them, "Thank you for your help, otherwise we may not have time to bring the villagers back, and you saved them from the fate of death." ”

The old shaman's tone was a little lacking, maintaining the barrier had already consumed a lot of his strength, and he tried to stand up, but his paralyzed leg from kneeling for a long time almost caused him to fall, but fortunately Freya helped his father in time.

"It's just a gesture." Zhang Lin raised his head and looked at the barrier that had thinned a little because of the lack of one person, "Now that everyone is back, you don't need to work hard to maintain this barrier anymore." ”

"Although Milak is gone, the sacred stone corrupted by her has not recovered, and my people have been controlled for too long, and I cannot guarantee that they will be affected by the remaining power again without the protection of the barrier." Stone was helpless, with the current state of these unconscious villagers, if they didn't pay attention and let them run out again, it wouldn't be much different from looking for death.

"On the way back to them, I have purified them of the influence of the dark forces, and you need no more to worry about that." Hill stepped forward and came to Zhang Lin's side.

"This ......," Stone twinkled in his eyes, "thank you so much, this beautiful elf lady." ”

The old shaman didn't expect that his worries had been solved by Ciel's casual actions.

"Fenna, Nicholas, stop, you two aren't much better than me, we can all take a break, go see the kids." Stone turned his head to the two old fellows and said.

As the words fell, the other two shamans glanced at him, then slowly stood up and moved their stiff bodies, the tiredness of their old faces as hard to hide.

As the barrier dissipated, the wind and snow pouring in from the outside seemed to be a little bigger.

"Freya, take the guests to the house first." Shi Dong explained to his daughter, and then said to Zhang Lin and them, "I'm sorry, we still can't rest assured." Although the old shaman did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he still had to check the condition of the villagers himself.

"It's fine." Zhang Lin shrugged.

"Come with me," Freya nodded to her father, and then led Zhang Lin and the others to a wooden house, took out the key and unlocked the door.

There was still burnt charcoal in the brazier, and the father and daughter seldom went back to the house to rest because of what was happening in the village, and as soon as she entered the door, Freya went to the corner of the house, picked up the wood that had been split in the corner, and was busy preparing to make a fire, but the flint in her hand did not seem to work well, and she did not light the fire for a while.

"I'll do it." Keshia came to Freya's side and released a flame in her hand, instantly igniting the wood in the brazier and dispelling the cold in the room.

"Magic is so handy!" Seeing that Kexia easily lit the fire that she hadn't lit for half a day, Freya couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just a small spell," said Kashia, turning her head to look at Freya, "If you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

"I'm a warrior, and my hands are for weapons," Freya shook her head.

"You may be bound by traditional thinking, you should get out and walk more, who said that warriors can't use magic?" Kexia shrugged and added the wood to the side, "A little more mastery of the means will save your life in many cases." ”

Freya's angular face showed a hint of confusion, "Maybe you're right, we Skars haven't been in contact with outsiders for a long time, maybe I'll try to go out and have a look when the village is settled again." ”

While the two were talking, there was some movement outside, which sounded like an argument, and Freya put down the dried fish and walrus meat that she had just removed, opened the door and walked out with an apologetic look.

After a while, Freya didn't come back, and the argument outside seemed to be louder.

So Zhang Lin and a few people also walked out to see what the situation was.

"We must destroy the corrupted Sacred Stones, they can no longer spread the blessings of the Creator to us!" A young Skarman said loudly.

"Anyway, it's a holy stone, and besides, are you sure you can destroy it?" Freya pinched her waist and glared at the young man.

"Why not, my hammer can knock them apart." The young man known as Aura brandished the hammer in his hand as if to show off his strength, only to be easily disarmed by Freya in the next moment.

"If you get close to the corrupted holy stone, you don't even have a chance to do it, and the remaining dark energy on it can control a group of idiots like you!" Freya slammed the other party's head and scolded angrily.

"I feel like they're deliberately acting for us." Serana said with a blank face, and because she didn't deliberately hide her voice, everyone heard it.

"You say it's too loud." Kashia tugged at the girl's clothes.

Seeing that Ola, who was reprimanded by herself, was embarrassed, Freya realized that she was also being hidden, and glared at her father with some annoyance.

Ignoring his daughter's gaze, the old shaman Stone walked over, with a smile on his face, looked at Kexia and said, "Hehe, let you see the smile, I think, this should be a dragonborn." ”

Keshia nodded, not denying, "How do you know?" ”

Seeing this, Stone's eyes lit up, "Outsiders, and it's a special trip to trouble Milak, I can't think of anyone else besides the Dragonborn." ”

"If there's anything you need help with, there's really no need to do it on purpose." Kashia looked at each other with some amusement.

The drama he specially arranged seemed to have become a farce in the eyes of others, and Stone had to laugh twice to hide his embarrassment, "I hope you can help us purify those holy stones, I believe you will be able to do it." ”
