Chapter 211: The Twenty-Eighth Candidate
The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger, as if there is a hand against the body and constantly pushing the person back, and it takes a lot of strength to take every step, Rob propped up a magic shield, covering the two of them in it, the outside of the shield was cold and windy, but the inside was unharmed.
However, the shield did not solve the problem of obstructed vision, and now they can basically only see half a step in front of them, and if they are not careful, they may walk to the edge of the cliff.
In such a harsh environment, Rob's phase movement could not be used, and this magic required a lot of calculations and deductions of the surrounding space before casting, and Blizzard made Anarip's environment extremely complex, and the amount of computation would be astronomical at this moment.
Is it a coincidence that the future Ultra Magus has an alarm in his heart? The time when this storm appeared, there was a faint feeling that it was aimed at them, but controlling the natural weather in such a huge area was something that even a ninth-order Super Magus could not do.
Rob had previously deduced that the Temple had a secret stronghold in Anarip, but now he doubted that it existed.
The altitude of more than 8,000 meters is a challenge for the body of any living being, coupled with such a harsh natural environment, it is impossible to stay for a long time, if it is only for the sake of secrecy, there is a better choice.
"Anyway, find a place to shelter from the wind first, and wait for the snow to light up before moving forward. Rob opened his mouth and suggested.
Luo Luo has no opinion, although she has first aid to return to Avril, but the current situation is indeed too bad, such a big wind and snow, if there is a trap ambush in front of it, it is almost impossible to dodge.
The two of them found a rock wall that could block the wind and sat down underneath.
Rob made a fire with magic, and Bevinadette perched on his shoulder, squinting at the jerky in his luggage, looking a little lacking in interest, since Cossan had left, the beautiful bird had no need to hide it, but it seemed that it was tired of the monotony of the food.
The two thought that the snowstorm would pass soon, but they waited for three days, and after three days, the blizzard still showed no signs of stopping.
If you count the consumption of the return trip, the supply is already a little tight, after all, they have lost some of their supplies before, but fortunately, this position is not too far from the top of the mountain, and it will only take a little more than half a day to walk normally.
Lolo and Rob discussed it for a while, and finally decided to leave the rock wall and climb up in the wind and snow, no one knew when the bad weather would pass, and since they were already here, they had to go up to take a look.
The future super-mage reopened the protective shield again, and then spread his perception out, guarding against possible traps and sneak attacks, but there was no danger along the way.
A day and a half later, the two finally reached the summit of Ogamile Peak.
The wind and snow at the top of the mountain were much lighter, and they could already see the surrounding environment clearly, and the two finally met the main owner of the trip.
A middle-aged man dressed as a priest is sitting on the edge of a cliff with his back to them, admiring the sea of clouds and the storm at his feet.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he didn't turn away.
Luo Luo took a deep breath and reported his name, but the other party was still unmoved, sitting like a mountain, without even lifting her shoulders, the girl pulled out her staff, walked forward cautiously, and touched the other party's back.
As a result, the next moment, I saw that the person's body shook, leaned forward slightly, and plunged headlong towards the sea of clouds in front of him.
Luo Luo was shocked, the owner of this body had clearly been angry for a long time, and his limbs were frozen and stiff, so he would fall down when he touched it, the girl never thought that this would be the result anyway, and after more than three months of hard pursuit, he only got a corpse.
Rob had already taken advantage of this time to search the neighborhood and said in a deep voice, "Avril is not here. ”
"How is this possible?" Lolo's eyes widened, if Avril wasn't here, Marven asked why he had to climb this snowy mountain, he stayed at the top of the mountain for three days, until he lost his life, what was the point of him doing this?
Rob thought of another thing at this time, Marven didn't bring Avril to the top of the mountain, so what was the sixty or seventy pound thing on the donkey's back?
And the next moment he got the answer.
The mountains were covered with wind and snow, and then the sky darkened, not the kind of darkness where the sun was obscured by dark clouds, but the most complete and pure darkness when all light was suddenly lost.
By the time you realize something is wrong, it's too late.
Rolling thunder mixed with vague Sanskrit chanting sounded from the night sky, a distant and vague sound at first, but then louder and louder.
Until the first lightning pierced the sky, there was finally light between heaven and earth.
However, this light existed for such a short time, and when it was about to be extinguished, a second lightning appeared, followed by a third, and a fourth...... Thousands of bolts of lightning spread across the sky like dense cobwebs.
The lightning eventually intertwined and converged and fell towards the top of the mountain.
The silver dragon stretched through the night.
Ocamil is a feast of thunder and lightning.
And the host of this banquet walked out of the thousands of thunders, and as soon as he appeared, he was bright.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister had never seen such a creature, its body was made of light, its body was about three meters tall, humanoid, and it had no facial features on its face, but this did not prevent it from having five senses, the thing slowly turned its head, looked around, and finally its "gaze" stopped on Luo Luo's body.
It took a small step towards the girl, but it caused an earthquake in the majestic Annarip Mountains, as if even nature was going to surrender to its feet.
Rob's heart sank.
At this point, he finally understood what Marven's plan was, from the beginning Marven's goal was not Avril, the real purpose of his kidnapping the girl in Rystanton was to lure the two of them all the way here.
Yes, Marven knew their identities early on.
The girl from the North on the note was not referring to Avril, but Lolo.
Rob had always felt that something was missing, because they subconsciously thought that the twenty-eighth candidate of Caterina's plan was in the Sith Monastery, but Marven had not found anyone when he wrote that small note, and the territory of the Bretton family was also in the north, if the person on that small note referred to Lolo, then many of the previous problems could be explained.
It's just that because the temple of investigating the matter of Elulia doesn't make sense to be so reluctant, and Gudris wants to bring Lolo back at all costs that night, and Dolan suddenly appeared in the Breton family's castle more than three years ago to help Lolo escape, and the choice of this time point is no coincidence.
