Chapter 33: The Goal, Frozen Hell

(Today, in order to repay everyone's help, there are still two changes.) Friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, your support is my biggest motivation)

Indulgence looked Pennis up and down, and said in a strange voice, "To be honest, what level of strength is you?

"Just like you can see. Pannis said with a shrug.

Indulgent and sarcastic: "I don't believe it, the gold-level professionals don't necessarily be able to do things, you can do it without anything, and now you make me believe that you only have the silver level?"

"I can swear to all the gods I know. Pannis raised his hand and said, "I have never used the power above the silver level. ”

"Really?" said Pannis, but indulgence did not dispel his doubts: "You must not be telling the truth. But forget it, a smart woman is going to give men room to lie, hehe. ”

Pannis rolled his eyes helplessly to express his dissatisfaction: "You better continue to tell the story." ”

"The story is over. Indulgence reverted to his previous seriousness: "What I saw was only a short record, and these stories were all I was interested in after reading the records, and I found them in historical sources." ”

Pennis nodded and said, "It's great to have a short record of the secrets that the whole country has to keep, but what about the location? ”

"There's a very vague record. Indulgence was a little embarrassed on his face: "There is only one sentence, saying that the alternate passage is hidden under the thick ice, so as long as you know where the thick ice is, you can determine the approximate location." ”

"Trouble. Pannis lowered his head, patted his forehead and said, "I should have thought of it." ”

"What's the matter, Pennys?" Catherine, who was sitting next to him, elbowed him with her elbow, "You know where it is?"

"Yes, I see. Although Pannis said that he understood, his expression was still very entangled: "I'd rather I was wrong." ”

"Oh?" said with some curiosity, "I shouldn't have asked too specifically, but I'm always a little curious, can you tell me where it is, making you act so weird." ”

"Frozen hell. Pannis did not hide his indulgence: "In the entire underground cavern, the only thing that can be called a thick layer of ice is the frozen hell. ”

"The monsters are powerful there?" asked Indulgence, "more powerful than the legendary python?"

"There are no monsters there, not one. Pannis said in an unquestioning tone: "This is the warm middle of Neville, the monsters or beasts, even if they are demonized, they can't change their previous habits, few monsters here can adapt to the low temperature environment, and the giant python just now lives in the frost realm is already the limit." Even with its strength, it can't withstand the temperature of Frozen Hell. ”

"Like a permafrost?" Catherine asked tentatively, "I haven't been there, but I've heard it's incredibly cold." ”。

"Yes, it's like a permafrost, as cold as it is there. Panisken Catherine's association.

"Isn't that nice?" said Catherine strangely, "We have hedron for heating, and we can withstand such low temperatures." And there is no interference from monsters, so you can find a way with confidence. ”

"Yes good. Pannis covered his head and said in an almost groaning tone, "But I think it would be better if the 100,000-square-meter cave floor wasn't all covered with thick ice." ”

"Oh my God. Lina was startled when she heard Pannis's words: "How can I find this?"

"That's it. Pannis sighed: "A little bit of melting ice, and then a little bit of exploration, to explore a space of more than 100,000 square meters, it seems impossible to think about it." ”

"Hehe, hehe. Indulgent smiled awkwardly: "Don't blame me for this, I told you everything I knew." As for whether it's good or not, it's not something I can control. ”

"It's okay, I've got an idea. Pannis put his worries aside: "Your information is useful, thank you." ”

"Huh?" Indulgence heard what Pannis meant: "Listen to you, you have to go by yourself, you don't need my help?"

"Of course. Catherine replied for Pannis: "Our deal is that you give us information, and we help you complete the task." Now that the deal is done, we can do the rest ourselves. ”

"You think about it. Indulgence was a little incredulous: "With a Legendary Tier Thief by your side, many problems will be made easier. For the sake of the friendship with Pannith before the enthusiasm, I can help you more this time outside of the transaction, are you sure you don't need it?"

"You'd better hurry up. Lina waved her hands and made a chasmous movement: "You are too exciting here, Heidi doesn't dare to come out to breathe." Well, not only Princess Heidi, but several other people don't want to come out to meet people. ”

Vivian was also nodding her head violently, her little head swaying up and down, and her two short ponytails were also swaying with the movements of her head: "The demonic energy in your body is getting heavier and heavier, it's okay to leave now, if you leave in a few days, you will inevitably get seriously ill when you go out, so hurry up and go back." ”

"A few of you. Blinking indulgently, it seemed that it was a little difficult to understand the thoughts of a few people, but finally he laughed and said, "It's really interesting that you guys are worried about this." Pannis, your friends are so interesting. ”

"It's an employer. Pannis routinely corrected: "Their thoughts are difficult for ordinary people to understand." ”

"Employer?" pouted indulgently: "Your attitude towards your employer is that kind of enthusiasm, but your attitude towards them is not your attitude towards your employer." Forget it, I don't care about you, I accept your kindness, and I'll go out. ”

Indulgence is also free and easy, just go, stand up directly, pick up the backpack, wave to the girls: "Four interesting beauties, thank you for your concern, I'll go first, and I'll meet again when I have the chance." ”

"Goodbye. Seeing the girls waving goodbye to her, the smile on her indulgent face was a little self-deprecating, she retreated to the edge of the mushroom umbrella cover, turned over lightly, and disappeared into the vast darkness.

"Is this the captain of the mysterious Hand of Shadows?" After more than ten minutes of silence above the canopy, Vivien said, "Quite an interesting person, it seems that the Hand of Shadows is not as terrifying as people legend." ”

"Don't think so. Catherine hurriedly corrected Vivien's somewhat dangerous thoughts: "I'm afraid this time it's because of the relationship with Pannis, if it weren't for his relationship, I wouldn't dare to cooperate with the people of the Shadow Hand without the notarization of the guild, maybe I will be left with no bones in the pit." ”

"Hmm. Vivian shrunk her neck and made a scared expression: "Okay, okay, big sister, don't be so scary, I remember." ”

"Actually, the Thieves' Guild is not so exaggerated. Pannis shook his head and said, "While most of them are like Catherine said, there are some people who are different. But it's always a good idea to be careful when approaching them. ”

"Pannis, you just told her you had an idea. Lina seemed to relax after the indulgence left, and kept a smile on her face: "What thoughts?"

"That's right. Pannis stretched out his hand and drew on the lid of the umbrella: "Although no one has confirmed it, there is a legend that there is a large lake in the center of the frozen hell, and it is only unknown because it is covered with the same thick ice all year round, and no one can see it." After indulging in the prompt, I just thought about it, the entrance to the passage should be hidden in the lake. After all, the rock walls there are too hard at low temperatures to be impossible to dig a passage by hand, so it should be a natural passage. The passage that can be used as a passage for people to enter and exit must not be too narrow, and it is difficult for such a large hole to be completely covered by ice overhanging, even if it is really covered, the inside of the passage must be full of ice, so that the people of the Naren Empire will not be able to enter it back then. So I think the passage should be in the lake, and the passage is not ice but flowing water, so that when they build the research institute, it will be possible to break through the ice on the surface of the lake and sneak into this natural passage. ”

"I kind of see what you mean. Catherine thought about it along Pannis's train of thought, and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense, it should be like this, after all, it is also people who build the institute, and it is impossible to do what manpower can't do." ”

"However, if we go to Frozen Hell, we must pay attention to keeping warm. Pannis leaned under the crystal lamp and took out the fire attribute spar with a capacity of one hundred terras prepared in advance: "Each person uses four of these spars at a time. Wrap one piece around the back of your neck, one piece around your waist, and one piece on each of your feet and ankles. I feel that the spar is about to lose heat, and it must be replaced in time, especially the one on the back of the neck. There, if you lose the warmth of the spar, even the gold level ** will be frostbitten in a few minutes if you are exposed, so you must not forget this. ”

"Okay, we remember. Catherine actually took out a pen and paper and wrote it down: "Is there anything else?"

"Also, once I find the extent of the lake, I'll go down and explore. Don't move on it, just set up a circle and camp and wait, don't move. When the time comes, get me a resonance crystal, and if there is a special situation that must be moved, notify me with that and I will come up immediately. ”

"This one was also written down. Catherine said, "But you go down alone, will you do that? or I will go down with you." ”

"It's better not to. Pannis dissuaded: "You have to be above to ensure the full combat effectiveness of your adventure group, so all four of you must be on it." I'm down there alone, so if I really encounter any dangerous underwater monsters, it's easy to dodge, this kind of thieves and scouts are hidden tricks that you haven't practiced, so it's hard to avoid. ”

"Well, you're an expert, you're up to the crackers. Catherine nodded: "Is there a third?"

"Thirdly, you must take care of the ice for me when I go down, and I don't want to bother to break the ice again when I come up. Pannis said solemnly, "My security is in your hands. ”

"Don't worry, we will try our best to hold your way out. Catherine stood up and said solemnly in the posture of a knight's oath.

"Don't do that. Pannis waved his hand: "Saving your life is a priority, it's really not good, if you really freeze, you can find a way to break it, and you can still keep hope, but if you fight for your life, there will be no more, then there is really no hope." ”

"I'll make trade-offs. Catherine didn't promise Pennis this time: "Is there a fourth?"

"No, just these three points, the rest are minor problems. Pannis replied.

"Okay, then let's go, goal, Frozen Hell. ”
