Chapter 55: The Land of Eternal Winter
The night was dark, the forest was full of phantoms, the howls of the Icewolves in the distance, and the red bonfires of the Savage tribes singing and dancing with joy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is definitely an important task node of the super main line, but unfortunately I am not a virus agent. ”
Mu Shaoan glanced back, then quickened his pace and tracked forward.
The red-robed priestess didn't stay long after returning to the wildling camp with the king of the Outer Empire, Mance Red, and set off again, still with the forty-five elite mercenaries with her, and Mance Rader added an additional 45 elite savage raiders to her.
The goal is further north, a land of eternal winter where snow and ice do not melt even in summer.
Seeing this scene, Mu Shaoan knew that he had to make a choice.
Whether to follow the Captain Flensian or the red-robed woman.
The former can infiltrate the Free Trade Federation, and even the mission of the Iron Vault, and then expand the follow-up quest line about the Seven Kingdoms in turn, it can be said that this is a legendary-level main line with rich branches, twists and turns, and rich rewards, and can even be related to the former Valyrian Free Federation, which is the civilization that has the highest level of magic in this world and can control the dragon, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed for unknown reasons.
But Mu Shaoan didn't bother to intervene, it was true that he wanted to teach the Seventh War Zone a lesson, but this kind of main line strategy similar to the method of virus agents still made him disdainful.
So he chose the latter, simpler and more direct, but also more dangerous.
Because the red-robed girl represents the child of light in this world, it can be understood as the god of fire, and the place she is going to is the base camp of the god of ice.
Just think about it, you can see how difficult it is to send this kind of death-like thing, and this is still a hidden plot that has never appeared in the plot of the world of ice and fire, and it is impossible to predict what will happen later.
However, this must be an event that has something to do with the core will of the world, and it is an action that can touch the core secrets.
So what reason does Mu Shaoan have not to participate? Not to mention that he still wants to catch a strange ghost.
The red-robed priestess and her party marched very fast in front, which was very bullish, which showed that she chose elite soldiers and strong generals, and Mu Shao'an kept a distance of five or six miles behind.
Nothing had happened in the night, but they had trekked at least six hundred miles through the forest, where the snow had not yet melted and there were no roads.
It seems that the red-robed woman is indeed very evil.
After dawn, the surroundings became extremely cold again, covered with ice and snow, but this place had already gone beyond the scope of the Ghost Shadow Forest, and was about to enter the land of eternal winter.
However, there are still some trees standing sparsely on the ground, but this is not dormant, but completely blocked by the ice, turning into ice trees.
I think this is a tree that grew when the two forces of cold and heat clashed in the past, and the canines and teeth were intertwined.
Mu Shaoan walked silently while looking, but when he walked to a clearing, the solid ice under his feet suddenly melted, like a chocolate cake melting a large piece from the middle.
The change came too suddenly, Mu Shao'an seemed to be taken aback, turned around and was about to run backwards, but the melted cold ice and snow water suddenly boiled, and then a big red flame hand poked out directly from the ground, grabbed his ankle, and fell heavily to the ground, followed by a red flame fist the size of a house and smashed down.
I'm like, it's a flaming lava giant out of nowhere!
Quickly pulled out the Immortal Heavy Shield, and in the next moment, there was a loud "bang", and Mu Shaoan's whole person was smashed into the mud more than ten meters deep.
When he deliberately worked hard and crawled out in embarrassment, more than a dozen axes, swords, and bows and arrows were aimed at him.
The majestic flaming lava giant was gone, replaced by the bewitching and beautiful red-robed priestess.
"Who are you, why are you stalking us?"
The red-robed woman shouted and asked, in this icy and snowy land of more than 60 degrees below zero, she was still wearing a red robe, and most of her snow-white breasts were exposed, which was sexy at the same time, but also made people feel uncomfortable.
However, at this time, in the depths of her gaze, there was another imperceptible fluctuation, obviously, this red-robed female priestess could see that Mu Shao'an was releasing water.
Although it was the first time for the two to deal with each other, both of them actually understood each other's purposes.
Of course, this has nothing to do with love at first sight or anything, but the red-robed woman can feel that Mu Shao'an is not too obviously malicious, and Mu Shao'an can see that this red-robed woman is very inward-looking, obviously she found him when she was in the Antler River before, but she couldn't bear it until this time.
Let's do it, I believe that the 45 elite barbarian raiders and 45 elite mercenary warriors will definitely make Mu Shaoan knock off a few front teeth.
But the red-robed priestess chose to take action herself, and did not notify the others, and then in front of everyone, a seemingly extremely fierce and terrifying flame lava giant showed her might, beating Mu Shaoan to the point of being powerless, which is also a means to deter the army.
And it is rare for Mu Shaoan to cooperate so much.
After all, the place where the red-robed priestess is going is the most mysterious place of eternal winter, and the mercenaries and those savage raiders don't want to be foolish ghosts, no one is a fool, if the red-robed priestess doesn't show some inhuman mysterious power, they may rebel after walking a few hundred miles.
Therefore, the performance of the red-robed woman in this round was full marks, and Mu Shao'an's cooperation was also full marks, which can be seen just by looking at the shocked and awe-inspiring expressions on the faces of those mercenaries and savage raiders.
"I am Lord Melisandre's envoy. ”
Mu Shaoan shouted, Melisandre is the red-robed priestess who is currently assisting Stannis on the Westeros continent, and she is also so enchanting that it will be unforgettable for a lifetime, although he knows that the red-robed woman on the other side can directly hear him talking nonsense, but what does it matter, the point is that she will help cover it up.
So, Mu Shao'an saw a flash of ridicule on the face of the red-robed priestess, but it was immediately replaced by disgust, and then she said in an impatient tone: "Who do I think it is? It turned out to be my unsuccessful sister, wasn't she the mistress of a certain lord in the palace of Westeros, how could she be in the mood to come to me all the way?"
"Mistress Melisandre has asked me to send you a message saying that she will be heading north in the near future, and I ask you to wait patiently in Mance Red's camp for a while, fifteen days at most, six or seven days at least, and then she will arrive with more men, and then we can go north together." ”
Mu Shaoan said nonsense, he could see that the red-robed female priestess in front of him probably didn't have much to do with the Free Trade Federation, it was just a tailwind boat.
Otherwise, with Mance Rader's relationship with the Free Trade Federation, it would not be difficult to prepare some more savage warriors for this red-robed priestess.
It is estimated that this was hired by the red-robed priestess herself.
And this shows more and more that she is in urgent need of manpower, otherwise she still needs to act in a play with Mu Shaoan's heart?
Since this is the case, Mu Shaoan simply gave her a fake reassuring pill to help her stabilize her military heart.
Let these mercenaries and savages hear that we have reinforcements behind us, so that theoretically they will not shout for rebellion until they encounter something irresistible.
Sure enough, Mu Shao'an's words fell, those savages didn't care, but the mercenaries who had all changed into heavy coats were relieved, as for the red-robed priestess, her eyes lit up, but she didn't like it at all, but said even more disgusted: "Who is rare, these people under me are enough, hmph, you go back and tell my greedy sister, the treasure was discovered by me alone, I don't want anyone else to take a piece of the pie except for the employment fee." ”
This woman is also full of nonsense and doesn't blush, it's interesting.
Mu Shao'an looked embarrassed, "It's a pity, Your Excellency, you should know Your Excellency Melisandre better than me, she brought a full five hundred people this time, so she won't give up halfway." ”
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, hold him, we have to speed up!" The red-robed priestess said angrily, at this point, the double reed sung by Mu Shao'an and the two ended, and those savages and mercenaries were all shining in their eyes, treasure, who doesn't want it, as for the danger outside the treasure, it is really not enough.
So Mu Shao'an was coerced and continued to march quickly to the north, his morale was very strong, but Mu Shao'an knew that there was a treasure of Mao'er in the land of eternal winter, and these mercenaries and savages were afraid that they would not want to come back, and even this red-robed priestess did not plan to come back, so these religious fanatics would not care about life and death.
But the more this happens, the more it shows that this is not a trivial matter.
What tricks does the red-robed priestess want to play?
It is a pity that this matter cannot be asked.
However, this way to the north, there is something that makes Mu Shaoan very confused.
Because according to the plot line of the Ice and Fire World, the strange ghosts have appeared for nearly three months at this time, so logically speaking, even if there is no trace of the strange ghosts in the ghost forest, why can't you touch the shadow of the strange ghosts when you enter the land of eternal winter?
Not even the resurrected ghouls infected by the Aliens.
It's a bit weird.
For three days in a row, their team only advanced about a thousand miles in the land of eternal winter, this speed is not slowed down, but this land of eternal winter is too cold, and the terrain is complicated, there are huge icebergs and cracks everywhere, the north wind is even more terrifying, it is estimated that there are more than a dozen levels, and you can fall into the cracks if you are not careful.
It was also thanks to the red-robed priestess that she was able to release a magic at all times, keeping everyone at a certain temperature, otherwise it would be even harder.
At this point, some of the mercenaries began to wonder if there were reinforcements behind, because they suggested waiting in a safe place, but the red-robed priestess sternly refused, which almost caused a mess, and finally the red-robed priestess had to pretend to divide the wealth from the unwarranted treasure to keep the team going.
Mu Shaoan watched coldly from the sidelines, and then came to a conclusion that the red-robed woman was in a hurry, and something she wanted to do had to be completed within the time limit.
