Chapter 9 of Section F: Inquiry (Cyberdart)

"It's down there. Slightly surprised, Saibodat looked at the man in white with a pipe in front of him in surprise: "I felt this way when I looked at your height before." But only now has it been confirmed - you're a snowman, right?"

"That's right. As soon as he finished speaking, Vicol added nervously, "Children of Ice of Eternal Winter. ”

"It seems like every snowman I meet has to emphasize which side they belong to," he said, clearing his throat, and Sebodat was silent for a moment, then said again, "Hmm...... Since you're from Winterfell......"

"If there's anything I can do to help, just say it. Immediately picking up the conversation, Vicor's tone was full of anticipation: "Do you want to inquire about something? If I can repay you with this, I will do my best to tell you everything you want to hear in detail." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you, it's hard to find the Yongdong people in Beihaiwang, and the rumors I heard are also the news that they have completely deteriorated after being falsely spread, so I can't use them as a reference at all. The tension that had been in place for many days reached a peak in an instant, and he asked eagerly, "May I ask if those two Ayas are still in Eternal Winter? I haven't seen them in a long time." ”

"Aya?" Puzzled, Vicol immediately replied, "Oh yes, you're an old friend of the two lovers and sisters—you should still be there." There was no danger. ”

"Then I'm relieved. With a long breath, the elf finally let go of the worries that had plagued him for days. Tempted to ask them why they hadn't left Winterfell yet, the elf immediately recognized the many inconsistencies and the embarrassment it might cause, and swallowed them back.

Somehow, after summoning Nalo, Lusa can't be contacted. The bad thought that Lusa was dead kept haunting him, causing the elves to gasp for breath: however, this was the kind that came one day after he suddenly fainted and woke up. Although he didn't know what he had forgotten, he was always keenly aware that some of his memories had disappeared inexplicably.

"You've just come to Beihaiwang, right? Otherwise, rumors of this magnitude would have entered your ears. Pulling the placket of his shirt, Vicol kept touching the frost on his eyebrows with his fingers: "Also, I didn't even notice it just now - you speak the local language really fluently. Could it be that elves, like Aya, are language geniuses?"

"Where. The pronunciation rules of Brna are complex, and it took me a long time to get used to them. After smiling modestly, the elf, who was just about to ask something, heard Vicor's question again: "Huh...... I'm sorry I'm really curious about some of the things - you see, everyone thinks you're dying in the Frozen Wasteland, because you're likely to run into Winter's Breath. Are you right there, escaping from the black ice?"

"I did crash into it, and it was in the frozen Eurasian army there. Looking around, he relieved himself after making sure that everyone's eyes were on the dock and not on this side. Then, he told Vicol about all the experiences he encountered there. And during the conversation, he emphasized this point in particular: the Corruptor he was fighting was the first to shatter from the ice, and his movements became more and more rapid. As soon as he stopped hunting, many of the ice sculptures shattered, freeing the Corruptor within—a sign that the entire Corrupt army had a "commander" presence.

Looking at the man with a dead face, the elf was silent for a moment before adding, "After narrowly escaping the pursuit of Black Ice and the Corruptor, I escaped into the Divine Wood Forest to collect herbs and heal my ankle. Then I went all the way to the west, only to find that it was all blocked by black ice. Then I remembered that there was a small town on the north coast, so I didn't touch Beihaiwang until yesterday. ”

"The frozen armies have really thawed...... With a sad face in his pipe, Vicol said dejectedly, "Looks like I'll have to warn my lord about this...... This is not the same as speculation, but it is the official information that you gave as a survivor. ”

"That's for you, otherwise I wouldn't know who to send the letter to. Habitually putting his fingers on the brim of his hat, the elf immediately changed the topic in order to calm the tall man in front of him, "Then now, this pair of Aiya still lives in a hot spring hotel?"

"No, that was a long time ago. After closing his eyes and thinking about it, Vicol suddenly spat out a smoke ring and said, "By the way, you left early so you probably didn't know about it - there are still two out-of-town men who stay with them, and they have been walking with them all the time." Originally, before learning that the Aiya sisters were in love, I thought that they were getting better as a pair. ”

"Two men?" Intrigued by what Vicol had revealed, Sebodat began to ask, "What are their names?"

"I don't know the name, but I've heard that one is a Templar and the other is a blonde bastard. Glancing at the black smoke with an embarrassed face, Vicol hurriedly took a step away from them: "These four people have been called heroes by the whole city, because they have done a lot to save the city. ”

"Save the city?" Although he knew that Lucina's terrifying power that had been sealed away by herself would be able to do many impossible things once liberated, Cyberdat was still deeply surprised to hear these words. Desperate to have a good talk with him, the ranger immediately turned around and looked at the crowded dock: "I would like to ask, you originally wanted to get close to the ferry to investigate something, right?"

"That's right, but ......" With a regretful expression, Vicor looked helplessly at the extremely conspicuous icebreaker. This move was immediately seen by the elf, and he understood the other party's thoughts: it seemed that he might be thinking that if he could start the icebreaker, he could solve the situation of the black ice blocking the sea.

"Anyway, you can't squeeze so many people to get close to the docks anyway, and there's guards guarding them. Tapping on the brim of his hat, Cyberdat raised his voice and said, "Why don't we find a tavern to rest first, and then come here when the crowd disperses a little?" Of course, I'm not familiar with this town, so it's up to you to choose a shop." ”

"This ...... It's good. After staring at the crowd a few more times, Vicol looked sad: "But I've only moved here for a few days, and I don't know which tavern is better." Why don't you choose one near you?"

This guy is in such a hurry to get to the docks, but seeing that he has always been interested in black smoke before, maybe he just thought too much about it and thought that he cared about the icebreaker...... With this in mind, Sebodat looked around and eventually landed at the hotel where he was staying: right next to it, there was a nondescript dirty house.

If I'm not mistaken, I just seemed to see a drunken man coming out of it. Could it be a tavern? If it is, it couldn't be closer, just right.
