Uma and Mirna thought they would never see the so-called "Dragon Blizzard" again, but unfortunately, on the way to the snowy mountains, they saw this natural phenomenon again after many years, caused by the magical influence of the magical life form itself. The icy snowflakes mixed with magic seem to be like a judge to make an irrevocable judgment on those who try to go to the snowy mountains, and it is rejecting people's visits.

Due to the occurrence of the dragon blizzard, the team had to stop their progress and take refuge in a safe cave to avoid the blizzard that could freeze people's bodies into ice sculptures. What is clear is that the occurrence of the dragon blizzard is not accidental. The ice dragon Skasa on Mount Kanak is the watchman of the place, and it doesn't want the humans it sees as ants to roam its territory unscrupulously.

Obviously, if the dragon blizzard can't be stopped, it's impossible for the team to keep going. Perhaps worse is yet to come, the caves in the snowy mountains are not natural food stores. When everyone's rations are depleted, in such a cold environment, sooner or later the Grim Reaper will put a sickle on everyone's neck.

The Bantu shamans looked grim as they tried to find a solution, while Uma and Mirna stood silently at the entrance to the cave and watched the wind and snowflakes howl outside. Since Orka was not with the team, the leader was an experienced Bantu elder. He was older, but he didn't have the same prejudices that most Bantu people seem to never get rid of. In this predicament, he tries to seek help from two foreign magicians. Because he knew that the dragon blizzard was a strange realm for the shamans of the Bantu tribe, he could only pin his hopes on two strange magicians.

Although the dragon blizzard brings many bad memories to Uma and Mirna, it is closely related to their experiences in the Demon Realm. But it was obviously not their idea not to help, but the two thought that it was necessary to make it clear from the beginning. "Listen, we can try to stop the dragon's blizzard. We'll need some of the usual props for performing magical rituals, candles, chalk, and the like. Also, while this is a bit disrespectful to you Bantu people, we need the head of a creature that lives on the snowy mountains, which is simply the head of an ice tiger or a snow tiger. Of course, if you can get the head of the snow ray, you can do that. Uma tried to be as concise as possible about all the preparations that needed to be made, and warned them that it might be disrespectful to their customs.

Undoubtedly, Uma's words aroused the resentment of the Bantu shamans. He could see in the eyes of the shamans that he was a complete evildoer. It's just that Uma doesn't care what they think. "If you're decided, just tell us, now, Mirna and I are going to collect some of the magic elements from the dragon blizzard. ”

"What do you do? Need help?" asked the elder to ease the tension.

Uma shook her head, "No, you'd better not step into the reach of the dragon's blizzard easily, you don't want your life to end up in frost." With that, he and Mirna left the cave.

The shamans' objections resounded in the cave as expected after the two left, and the Bantu warriors were apparently reluctant to cut off the head of the ice tiger they had tamed. In the minds of the Bantu people, the Ice Tiger, the Snow Tiger and even the Snow Ray are creatures that have a spiritual connection with the great totem, and harming them for any improper reason is an act of desecration against the totem. And they believe that the witchcraft rituals mentioned by Uma and Mirna are absolutely totemic desecration.

"Alas......" Maffeo sighed, sitting in the corner of the cave. "I think before we get to the cave where Riku is, the team will start fighting for some stupid reason. ”

"Actually, I admire both of them. Freya said.

"Who?, Uma and Mirna?" asked Maffeo.

Freya nodded, "Of course they know that doing so will make them even more unpopular with the Bantu, and it is possible that after the incident is over, they will be banished from the Snowy Lands forever by the Bantu or even become their enemies. But what can they do? The only ones who can stop this damn blizzard are the two of them. ”

"I see what you mean. Maffeo said thoughtfully. "It's not about what they want to choose, it's what they can choose. ”

"That's right. ”

Uma and Mirna struggled through the overwhelming blizzard, and each step required almost all of their strength. No one likes to do such a hellish errand, but if they don't, they will lose their own lives and the lives of others. Mirna is now glad she was well prepared before she set off, otherwise she would have been a perfect ice sculpture by now.

She extracted the magic inducer from the wand she had worn out in the battle on the ridge, and then used the magic container to craft a potion of fire magic add-on, which gave her body enough warmth to fight the cold. Although such alchemy is time-consuming and raw materials, it is definitely not a waste to use in such extreme situations.

"Speaking of which, how is your wand?" Uma asked, asking the question he had been holding in his mind, knowing that Mirna had always cherished her wand, whether it was her own or someone else's. When you make something in front of her that will damage her wand, a small Jack bomb will pulse around her fingertips in the next second. If you don't repent, congratulations, that Jack bomb will be smashed on you mercilessly.

Milna shrugged, her expression a little helpless. "When you can find someone in the snowy region of Ston who can fix wands, come and talk to me about it. ”

"You don't really don't have a wand, do you?" said Uma in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise you think I'm going to hide my wand in my magic pocket and surprise you at a time you didn't expect it? Mirna stuck out her tongue.

"Wow, we're in trouble. Uma smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, Uma. Milna reassured. "Just because I don't have a wand doesn't mean I can't use magic, you should know that. However, the fact that the power of magic will be weakened is unchangeable. ”

"I'm not worried about that, it's just that if you're not careful, you're going to unleash a wide range of magic that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and I don't want you to do that, our relationship with the Bantu is bad enough. Uma said cautiously, trying not to provoke the other party.

Milna narrowed her eyes slightly, showed a strange smile, and leaned closer. "Are you really that worried?" her teasing tone was no doubt a warning to Umma, and he quickly responded. "Let's hurry up and collect the mana factor, the most important thing is to prepare for the ceremony as soon as possible. ”
