Section D, Chapter 8: Information Blockade (Anusen)

Startled by the sound of metal crashing, the knight put down his map in shock and looked ahead.

Looking down, the dragon hunting arrow lying on the snow was shocking. Quickly putting away the map, the knight anxiously ran to the mad dog's side: "What happened just now?"

"Damn, I still want to know. Taking a big bite of the biscuit, the mad dog angrily kicked away a puddle of snow and picked up the knife that was deep in the snow: "Why is the sound I heard when I said chewing biscuits...... It's like something sharp is flying at high speed. ”

"Wait...... And then you threw a throwing knife and went out, and you didn't dodge?" the knight didn't understand Ceresja's crazy thinking.

"Why should I hide?" Seresa looked at the knight with an equally incomprehensible expression, "It takes so much effort to knock down something that can be knocked down with a throwing knife?"

"You know there's danger, what if the knife doesn't hit, or knocks it off?!" the knight yelled in exasperation.

"What's so much in case?" Mad Dog narrowed his eyes, "But to be honest, I didn't see the dragon hunting arrow flying this way when I turned around." Or maybe I'll consider hiding for a while. ”

"Didn't you see?" The knight frowned as he looked at the slightly thin snow mist around him, "Then your ears are really good...... You can hear it from so far away. ”

"My ears are good, but I don't see them because I'm far away. The mad dog took another bite of the biscuit and picked up the big arrow: "It's because ...... This thing is invisible. I'm not wrong, Lusa?"

"Hmm. Lusa, who was hugging the ball, raised her hood slightly, revealing half of her face: "I see it." It is all invisible until it is shot down by throwing knives. ”

The "Invisible ......" knight stared at the giant arrow that was one meter long in shock: "The person who shot it should be the dragon hunter who invaded Cold Snow Castle." ”

"Unlikely. Kicking the arrow with his toes, Mad Dog said with great skepticism: "His arrow was not invisible at that time, was it?"

"Yes. Lutha nodded, "If he had made the arrow invisible by then, my sister and I would have been shot before the gulladan was dropped." ”

"So on normal terms, this should be another guy. Seresa narrowed her eyes and pointed to the woods beside the road, "Based on the sound of the arrows and the angle of the moment before the fall, the dragon hunter should have been there - of course, he must have run away now." ”

"But why did he shoot only one arrow?" the knight was puzzled, "and besides, it doesn't make sense to interpret this as an ambush." ”

"Shoot and run, who knows what's going on?" Mad Dog threw the rest of the biscuits into his mouth and turned around: "Anyway, look at the trajectory of this arrow is coming at me." ”

"Wasn't that dragon hunter in Frost Castle elusive before? Mad Dog narrowed his eyes and thrust the arrow into the ground: "It's not easy to do that. The big bow alone was a man's height...... Not to mention the quiver he was carrying. ”

"Previously, Derno believed that the dragon hunter and Mage B were the same person. The knight interjected, "But how did this guy keep an eye on us? ”

"Knight...... Don't tell me you really believe the same person's statement. Mad Dog squinted his eyes disdainfully: "As for how to target us...... We just had such a big vote, you forgot?"

"Horn. Clutching the horn around her waist, Lusa's tone was timid: "It should be because of it." ”

"It's ......really dangerous to corrupt people who hear it in a wide area," Mad Dog pondered for a moment, "Lusa, give it to me - it's going to have to be destroyed now." ”

"Wait, isn't that right?" the knight hurriedly stopped the mad dog approaching, "This important thing should be brought back to Neverwinter and then ......"

"And then what?" Selesa narrowed her eyes, "Knight, can you stop thinking so rigidly and find an organization as soon as something happens?"

"This ......," the knight choked on the mad dog, "seal it up, and consult the literature or something." ”

"Seal it up, and wait for the corrupt to rob it? As for some bullshit literature, it's not too late to go back and check it. Mad Dog waved his hand impatiently: "At such an age, can you be less naΓ―ve?"

"Well, that makes sense. After thinking about it, the knight reluctantly compromised: "I'll destroy it." ”

Taking the horn from Lusa's hand and placing it on the ground, Anusen, crouching down, raised his shield and slammed it down.

The horn shattered in vain, and a terrible and deafening scream suddenly came from it, and countless black smoke slowly rose out. The knight stepped back in astonishment, narrowly missing the black smoke.

Staggering to his feet, Anusen stared at the black smoke in disbelief, and with a whisper, the dark blue phantom that had met for a moment gradually appeared in the smoke, and then disappeared as the black smoke dissipated.

"Look, this thing almost got into Eternal Winter, and the consequences are absolutely dire. Pointing at the broken horn, Ceresya said, "In my opinion, there must be more than one of them." With this horn and shield, the dragon knight must have been an important person before. ”

"I hope so. To calm his emotions, the knight took a deep breath and pulled out the map again.

"Can't you get to the outpost by following the avenue?" "What are you doing on the map?" the mad dog leaned against the trunk of the tree and squinted his eyes this way.

"Looking at the topographic map of the eastern mountains. The foothills closest to the Dark Glacier are probably the first areas to be eroded by the Black Ice. The knight raised his eyes and looked at the mad dog munching on biscuits with dissatisfaction: "Eating against the wind, the cold air is not all poured into the stomach?

"Isn't it more uncomfortable to make your stomach hungry than a little cold air?" Selesya bit down on a large biscuit, "Aren't you two hungry?"

"I ate it in the morning. Lusha whispered, "I'm full now." ”

"That's really saving you money on food. Mad Dog grinned: "I have already guessed what the knight wants to sayβ€”find a leeward place that is good for your health." Isn't that right?"

Ignoring the mad dog, Anusen continued to look intently at the map. However, looking at it, he noticed something unusual.

"You two! "The knight was shocked by the terrible discovery he made on the map.

"What's the big discovery?" said Seresya, yawning as she and Lusa approached the knight.

"Look, these three outposts. Pointing to the three arrow tower-shaped markers on the map, the knight's tone trembled a little: "It is the frontier outpost located in the Divine Wood Forest, Ice Dragon Valley, and Beihaiwang that was confirmed to be safe through the letter crow before. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Mad Dog frowned, "Do you mean that since we encountered a corrupted ice dragon, there is a good chance that the Ice Dragon Valley outpost has fallen?"

"It's not just that. The knight gritted his teeth and said the thought that frightened him: "If you think about it, Jiuquan Town has been covered in spreading black ice. Will the Divine Wood Forest and Beihaiwang, which is close to Ice Rock City, still survive?"

"You say that......" Cereya's eyes narrowed, "It's possible that they've all been frozen in the black ice, creating clones of the sentinels to garrison the outpost." The clone has the same handwriting as himself, so he can pretend to be the captain and communicate with Neverwinter every day to report false information. In this way, Eternal Winter City can be completely like a silly hat, pinched and toyed with in the palm of his hand. ”
