The snowy mountains have not changed much after the blizzard, except that the snow has become deeper, but for the people trapped in the caves by the blizzard, it is like the great gods have offered forgiveness to the guilty. When Mirna and Uma blushed and returned to the entrance of the cave without saying a word, almost all the outsiders offered them all the compliments they could think of. And although the Bantu people hate and even resent the two, they also have to thank them for what they have done.

Although they think that those words of praise are mixed with a lot of water, in this sinister environment, you can't blindly believe what anyone says, even if they don't have any hostility towards you along the way. In the Demon Realm, there is a phenomenon that often happens. In a very difficult and treacherous environment, even the companions who have been with you for a long time will do everything they can to kill you for half a piece of moldy bread in extreme circumstances, although the environment here is like heaven compared to the demon world.

However, the two of them may not have thought too much about this disgusting thing now. What had happened after the ritual was still fresh in their minds, and they didn't want that brief memory to be quickly overwhelmed by these unpleasant events. They enjoyed the brief experience that came before them, and it will be a good memory in their hearts.

Although Schultz usually clashes with Milna, at this time, he has to admit that Milna's ability is far superior to his own. In order to show his friendliness, he walked up to Mirna and said to her with sincerity. "Thank you, Mirna. If it weren't for the two of you, I think I'd be buried in this snowy mountain. ”

Mirna looked at Schultz with a provocative look and responded. "Aren't you going to say something else?"

"What else do I have to say?" Schultz looked dazed.

"For example......" Milna raised her head, the teasing on her face turning to smugness.

Schultz was immediately relieved, of course he knew what Mirna was referring to. But forgive himself, he really didn't want to do that. "Don't dwell on it, we don't have any agreements that have to be done. ”

"Whatever you want, but I'm sure you'll do that sooner or later. Mirna wasn't angry, she said confidently.

"Yes, it doesn't matter. Schultz decided to get out of Mirna's presence as soon as possible, otherwise he couldn't guarantee what would happen next.

Now that the dragon's blizzard has stopped, the Bantu elders have reason to urge those outsiders who didn't want to get involved in this trip to move as soon as possible. Despite the obvious effect of his urging, every outsider can be sure that he will not give up his life to save the Bantu people when they are in danger. Gratuitous and selfless dedication is not something that anyone can do, and the same is true for Maffeo and others.

In many adventurers' dictionaries, the word help doesn't actually exist. They like to define each commission as a transaction, with themselves responsible for handling the content of the commission and the employer responsible for paying themselves. No help, no dedication, just a simple transaction. Ever since Maffeo was deceived by the head of a village close to the Elwyn Line, he no longer wanted to help those in need for free.

The rest of the road is not easy, but it will not encounter any very dangerous situations. At most, the mountain road is a little steeper, and if you are not careful, you will stumble down the hill and fall into a meatloaf. But this is nothing compared to the dragon blizzard that can freeze people's bodies into ice sculptures, not to mention, there is a battle that foreshadows death waiting for everyone.

Along the way, Maffeo slowed his pace and followed the Bantu shaman, eavesdropping on their conversation about Riku. Now that you're going to that cave, it's helpful to figure out what these guys are talking about. Sharing information is still too difficult for the Bantu people, who, like outsiders, perceive each side as having bad intentions. Obviously, this is not good for the unity of the team, but no one can change the situation. Unless both sides voluntarily let go of their prejudices about the other, the chances of that happening are much smaller than if the ice dragon Skasa was now immediately falling into a deep sleep again.

Freya and Maffeo had long anticipated what was going to happen, and before the Bantu could speak, they offered to go halfway up the mountain to see what was going on. There was no doubt that the Bantu elder had a fake look of appreciation, and although he was not as annoying as the other guys, that didn't stop him from being a cunning old fox.

Maffeo gave the cunning old fox a middle finger in his heart, but he didn't plan to dwell too much on how shameless and cunning the other party could be. From the moment he agreed to Orca's request, he knew he couldn't get out of it all right.

The two did not follow the previous route to the halfway up the mountain, but changed to a route that required a long detour. This can ensure their own safety, if you don't learn to be clever in the snow mountain, then the wind and snow will be your only burial goods. The two of them took care of each other, one after the other, and the surrounding places that might be dangerous, and advanced halfway up the mountain at a uniform speed.

"Do you see the old fox?" asked Maffeo.

"Who?, the Bantu elder?" Freya said, but she had already received an answer.

"Of course, do you see his cunning face?"

"You have to learn not to think about these things, just calm down and face these things. Freya laughed.

Maffeo stomped his foot in exasperation, "How long will this hell continue?" ”

"It may take a long time, but it may end tomorrow, everything is uncertain. ”

"Well, I'll try not to think about these things. ”

"That's right. ”

When the two of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, they were surprised to find that the defenses outside the cave had not changed much compared to when they left, and sure enough, you can't expect anything from a creature like a goblin. But that way, at least people don't have to waste a lot of time and precious lives outside the cave. According to the current situation, it is really a simple matter to break through into the cave, and the combat power of the goblins in the battle is negligible, and the only threat is the four-door catapult.

The camp set up here by the dead Bantu had been completely sacked by the goblins, and they had spared nothing. They took the rest of the mare's milk wine, lamb and cheese and even warm blankets. The two believed that the goblins had a "feast" when they weren't here, their own feast. "Alright, the situation is clear, you go and inform the Bantu elders, and let him bring everyone here according to our route. Freya said to Maffeo.

"Be careful, Freya, don't be discovered. Maffeo took off the monoculars from his belt and shoved them into Freya's hands. "This thing might help you. ”

"Thank you, Maffeo, and go ahead. ”
