When Hodge returned to the location where the caravan was stationed, he saw from a distance that the convoy was ready to go, and he thought that the caravan should have sent someone to Arch Cliff to clear the road enough for the caravan to pass through when he was ready, but it was only because of him that it stopped in place.

He saw Morgan and the others standing at the back of the convoy with Devany and Hera, looking at the dense forest in the distance from time to time, apparently waiting for his return.

After seeing Hodge halfway out of the dense woods, Daphne walked up to him and scolded angrily, "Where have you gone, do you know that this is dangerous! Even if you have been afraid of noise since you were a child, you shouldn't run around!"

She leaned closer, pulled Hodge's entire body out with a sharp tug, her eyebrows showed some concern, her hands pinched his cheeks, patted his shoulders and arms, and then half-crouched to check his abdomen and back, and said at the same time, "Is it hurt?"

When Hodge met Daphne's eyes, she winked at herself and punched her eyes.

Is this a forced setting to be afraid of loud noises? Daphne, you really have a terrible ability to make up stories......

However, since the play has already started, he categorically has no reason to dismantle the stage, his brows are slightly furrowed, and his voice is low, but it is enough for Morgan and others not far away to hear: "Legs...... I don't feel anything in my legs. His voice had a slight tone of wanting to cry but not crying, which was more reasonable for the character that Devany had made up for him.

"Let you run around!" Daphne glared at him fiercely, helped Hodge to turn to Morgan and said, "President, let my brother and us ride in a carriage for the rest of the journey, he needs someone to take care of him." ”

Morgan nodded, Hodge was already very grateful to Dunluo, not to mention that the three of them were sisters and brothers, even if they were in the same carriage, there was nothing wrong with it, and immediately agreed to Devany's proposal.

The wheels wrapped in deerskin slowly turned, and the caravan began to move again.

In the carriage, Hera stood at the position of the compartment door, closing the wooden door of the partition, this small door could only block the lower part of the carriage door, and the upper part was still covered by curtains, she tiptoed to pinch the curtains on both sides, and looked back at Hodge with some nervousness in her eyes.

Hodge smiled at her as a sign of relief, but in front of his slightly pale face, any relief seemed superfluous.

Daphne sat next to him, helping him slowly lean against the pile of clothes, holding Hodge's right hand tightly, she couldn't sense the change in temperature from the touch due to the awakening of her ability to transform her body, but her complexion, which was beginning to turn pale, silently told her that Hodge's body was gradually getting colder.

"Are you overusing your powers again?" she sighed helplessly.

Hodge smiled a little reluctantly: "No way, that's twenty strong men with knives, I can't be sure I can finish them without using all my strength." ”

"Is it cold?"

"I told you that my legs didn't feel like it was cooperating with you, but now I ......," he hissed, and opened his eyes with some difficulty, "It's so fast that I don't feel it, and I feel that the flow of blood is still." ”

Devany didn't continue to speak, watching him quietly and intently, as flames leaped out of the back of her grip on Hodge's hand, splitting into three lines of fire and climbing in a spiral, enveloping Hodge's entire body in a web of flames.

As one of the witches' councilors, her understanding of flames has reached the pinnacle, and at this moment the flames seem to envelop Hodge, but they are actually kept at a certain distance from his body, the wooden planks and clothes in the carriage, just enough to bring heat to Hodge's body without igniting anything.

She sighed softly again.

Hodge is special, not only because he is the only male wizard, but also because after he has completed the awakening process and is able to use the wizard's spells, Devany has not been able to observe any condensation of red crystals in his body.

It's hard to imagine that the witch was able to use extraordinary powers, and the root of it was the red crystal in her abdomen, which was the source of her power, but now Hodge didn't have this origin at all, but he was also able to use his strange abilities, why was that?

But one thing she could be sure of was that it didn't necessarily seem like a good thing.

In the process of guiding Hera and Hodge, she found a problem, although Hodge was able to use power, but after using it to a certain extent, he continued to use it, and then his body would suddenly have a low temperature, the length of time depends on the severity of his ability to use, maybe it was just a blink of an eye, and the situation for a whole half a day was not uncommon, if it was not for Daphne to keep his skin warm, he would even be frozen into a popsicle after the hypothermia.

"Daphne. Hodge seemed to regain some of his spirits in the warm flames.

Devonne's eyes were still focused, but she said lightly, "You should call me teacher." ”

"Okay, teacher. He changed his tone indifferently, his voice a little low, "The friend you said who lives in Antler Bay can really solve my physical problems?"

"I don't know. Devany shook her head, "What's going on inside you is impossible to discern with the naked eye alone, and if there's anyone in this world who can detect something even more subtle, it's Ophelia." ”

The reason why they made this expedition was not only because the wooden houses were burned down, but also because there was no shortage of raw materials for construction near Thorn Lake. The most important thing is Hodge's physical problems, Daphne is powerless, it is too dangerous to let it go like this, and she can't stay by Hodge's side all the time, so she wants to go to Antler Bay to find her few friends, Ophelia, who has the name of "Insight", to diagnose him.

"I wish I could. He tugged at his collar and muttered, "I don't want to be frozen into ice for some reason." ”

Devany looked at him, holding his hand tighter.

"There won't be that day. ”

......

Three days later, when the bumpy carriage slowly stopped, and everyone except the coachman got out of the carriage and walked to the front of the convoy, Morgan looked up into the distance, stretched out his finger ahead and said happily, "Here we are, there is the Stone Fort." “

Hodge looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes passed through the nearby fields and outposts, in the direction of the sky, the outline of the city was clearly visible, he had lived in the north for many years, but it was the first time he had seen such a towering wall, he could vaguely see that the city wall was made of dense boulders, and stood for thousands of years under the pouring of wind, frost, rain and snow, this castle has always existed, even if its owner has changed dozens of times, it has silently guarded the inhabitants of the city in the frost and cold of the north.

This is the territory of the Raymond family, and it is also one of the most famous cities in the North, Stone Fort.
