In winter on the Altrian continent, the sky always seems to have only one color, and that is gray.

Under the dim sky, there is a vast and boundless plain, and on the sparse and dry plain, only a few ferns still stand tenaciously in the cold wind, swaying in the wind.

On the plain, two gray figures, one tall and one short, were moving rapidly.

It's been nearly two months since she left the 'Godslin Chamber of Secrets' wizarding academy, and it's not far from the muddy swamp where the 'One-Eyed Scarlet Toad' haunts, and Serra's mood is gradually recovering from the shadow of her brother Mallory's death.

"Gordon, is it almost there, I smell a putrid smell in the air!"

Serra asked with some delight, regaining the optimistic frame of mind she had always had.

"Yes!"

Gordon nodded, not saying anything more.

In fact, he felt the smell of the cold wind a day ago, but he didn't say anything.

"Now that the muddy swamp is about to arrive, the location of the 'Guderans Ruins' should not be far away!"

Thinking of this, Gordon raised his head and couldn't help but look into the distance, but in the distance, there was hardly anything to be seen except for a dry and desolate parallel line.

"Gordon, I've heard that the 'One-Eyed Scarlet Toad' is a stupid creature, do you know?"

"Also, after Gordon completes our mission, I don't know much about which way you plan to go back to the academy, and I'll have to trouble you to lead the way when the time comes!"

Serra seemed to be in a good mood today, and kept asking Gordon as she walked.

For Serra, since the two of them escaped from the Golden Desert and really saw Gordon's appearance, Gordon aroused Serra's serious curiosity.

In Serra's words, 'This guy has the appearance of the most handsome nobleman, but he does not have the slightest trace of the demeanor and etiquette of a nobleman!'

Because Gordon's head had always been hidden in a wide gray-black hood before, and Sierra was taken care of by her brother Mallory, she hadn't paid attention to Gordon's inconspicuous second-level apprentice before.

And after the thrilling journey before, Sierra really noticed that Gordon was unusual.

Listening to the voice beside him, Gordon turned his head and looked at the girl with a slightly strange gaze.

The body is tall, the long legs are straight and slender, the face is white and immature, but there are a few inconspicuous pale yellow freckles at the corners of the eyes, which not only does not look ugly, but adds a touch of playful cuteness to the slightly ordinary appearance.

It's such a cute and energetic girl who would ask the question of whether the 'one-eyed scarlet toad', a highly poisonous creature that is generally equivalent to a second-level wizard's apprentice as soon as it is an adult, is it a stupid question.

Gordon really wants to know how the other party survived in the wizarding world until now.

Looking at Gordon's gaze that resembled that of an idiot, Serra realized that the question she was asking was a little childish, and her face immediately turned red.

"After the mission is completed, you can go back by yourself, I still have something to do!"

"Of course, I'll tell you when the time comes!"

Gordon turned his head and looked at the sky in the distance and said lightly.

He didn't care about Serra's question, after all, the other party was just a sister who was spoiled by the dead captain Mallory.

Rookie apprentices like Sierra actually have quite a few in every wizarding organization academy, and they are fine in the academy at first, but once they leave the academy, this kind of apprentice is often the 'pioneer' of the wizarding world!

Just like Sierra now, without his brother Mallory to take care of him, Gordon doesn't think the other party can walk the wizard road for long.

So for such a person, Gordon will not be anything.

Gordon was cold, but not mad.

Perhaps sensing the indifference in Gordon's words, Sierra didn't ask Gordon any other questions, though she had always done so before, just to get more acquainted with Gordon.

And now, Sierra is silent.

.......

Two days later, snowflakes fell on the vast plains.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and soon covered the gray robes of Gordon and Serra.

In the same way, snowflakes have turned this vast and boundless plain into a real world of ice and snow.

At that moment, a steaming swamp of mud appeared in front of Gordon and Serra.

The location of the 'One-Eyed Scarlet Toad', the Muddy Swamp has arrived!

This 'mud swamp' that seems to be embedded in the middle of the savannah is very wide, and in the midst of the ice and snow, the bubbles that keep coming out of the mud are constantly bursting.

Streams of hot gas that exploded from the bubbles were sent into the air, and over time this swamp of rising hot gas was formed.

"Ugh!"

Serra, who was standing on the side, suddenly changed her complexion, her body shook from side to side as if uncontrollably, and her face quickly turned pale.

"What's wrong, how can I feel dizzy, chest tightness, and weakness in my limbs!"

Sierra looked at Gordon with some panic.

"You're poisoned!"

"Because of the toxicity of the 'one-eyed scarlet toad', this muddy swamp has long been full of poison, and the heat rising from the depths of the swamp is also full of poison!"

"Don't you have an antidote, this gas is very low-toxicity, you only need a bottle of primary antidote, you can bathe in this muddy swamp!"

Gordon said lightly as always.

"The primary antidote... I have what I bring... It's just all with my brother!"

Serra replied with a pale face, only remembering that since Gordon said so, it must have been a belt on him, so he immediately said:

"Gordon, can you lend me... No, sell me a bottle......"

"Next!"

Before Serra could finish speaking, she saw a vial of brown liquid appear in Gordon's hand and throw it at her.

"Drink it quickly, although this gas is not very toxic, but inhaling too much can also kill you!"

"You'll be okay sooner, and we'll be able to complete the mission sooner!"

Listening to Gordon's cold voice, Serra didn't say anything, but after catching the vial, she peeled off the cork and quickly poured it into her mouth.

The effect of the primary antidote was good, but within a short period of time, Serra felt that the abnormality of her body was gradually disappearing, and her face returned to normal.

"Thank you, Gordon!"

"No thanks, it's just a bottle of primary antidote, and then we just need you to obediently listen to my arrangement, and we can get the eggs of the 'One-eyed Scarlet Toad' as quickly as possible!"

"It's not a good weather, we need to hurry!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement!"

Serra replied.

"Okay, you come with me!"

With that, Gordon walked straight forward.
