In the middle of the mountains

According to Leach and Allen, the Snow Elves have been using special spells to change the climate of Windhelm for nearly a week.

No one can bear the consequences of not being able to engage in production for a week, and Wind Helm City is already in dire straits. But the city lord did not take the slightest action on the surface, and did not even make a public condemnation.

It's as if the world has evaporated.

"The lord of Windhelm City is a traveling scholar and has a high prestige, so I have reason to believe that this is a responsible lord and not a core member of some Ivy League. 」

In the rush using the flying magic carpet, Xi Xiangyu begins to speculate on the details of this incident.

"He should be a man of understanding, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the lord of the chaotic Northlands. In other words, the city lord probably also saw the discord of the snow elves as a weak party but was too strong, so he probably wouldn't go up easily. 」

"Therefore, the city lord of Wind Helmet City must have a reason to "disappear out of thin air", and he must also have the purpose of "disappearing out of thin air". 」

Wind Helm City is the largest city in the Northlands, so it has a lot of resources, manpower, high-end combat power, and dozens of spellcasters.

As the overlords of the Northland cities, they will be powerless against such a climate-changing spell?

No, it's just an illusion, and Windhelm is hiding something.

"You are the city lord of Wind Helmet City...... No, why don't you call the city lord by his name, didn't I explain to you before that his name is Michael? ”

The high perception of the job requirements of the druid profession made Alan sense of a certain tendency to meet each other, so he brought it up.

"That's right, I mean that the City Lord of Wind Helmet City has already sent someone to solve this matter secretly, or he will personally go into battle, and the battle without declaration has the highest chance of victory. 」

Xi Xiangyu ignored Alan's questions, and continued to analyze after affirming her difficulty.

The lord of the castle is a traveling scholar, and the traveling scholar is an organization that perpetuates civilization. And the one that caused the contradiction was the Ivy League, an organization that advocated anti-civilization. The naturally opposite stance makes the traveling scholar more active in collecting information about the ivy League, and the city lord will naturally be the number one beneficiary.

The confidence of the snow elves is nothing more than strength, and ivy can give the snow elves something...... Ivy League organizations have nothing but technology.

It is likely that the new member from Earth not only changed their minds, but also brought them the technology on Earth before they even met, and the Ivy League's frequent use of explosion counter-civilization these days is the technology of the time-traveler.

And black powder is not the only technology on earth.

Guns and explosives, these two weapons are completely close to or even surpass the mage's spells and the ranger's bow and arrow in power, and their usefulness is far more than that of spells and bows.

Cheap, fast, and simple, the Snow Elves have the ability to confront Wind Helmet City head-on.

"Explosives are the superior version of gunpowder, and the firearms are also the subordinate position of you to take an electromagnetic cannon instead?

Having seen the power of gunpowder and electromagnetic guns, Leach was the first to sit still...... As a result, he almost fell off the flying carpet.

"A long time ago, I taught the traveling scholar how to make firearms because I felt bad, so you don't have to worry too much about that. 」

"If you are happy to meet, you will not be able to fly past if you go any further, and it will attract the attention or blow of the snow elves. ”

Alan looked at the scene in the distance and suddenly pointed to a certain place on the ground.

"The airspace is sovereign, I'll descend now. 」

Joy met and landed in the mountains under the control of the flying carpet, and the three of them began to walk towards the snow elf village on foot.

It is very dangerous to travel in the mountains of the polar night, especially because it is already a moonless day in the polar night. Although Alan and Leach, who originally had no night vision, did not need to be guided slowly because of their spell lighting, the rugged mountain road still made the three of them travel extremely slowly.

"It's definitely too late to wait until you go. ”

Even though the three of them are all natural professions, it is not a problem to climb mountains and mountains. But in the night of the polar night, you have to watch out for rough mountain roads, smooth snow, and sometimes fight off attacking monsters, and by the time you are halfway through, it is already three days later.

Leach began to get anxious during the rest of the day, if according to the guess of the happy encounter, the battle between Windhelmet City and the Snow Elves may have already begun, and with their speed, I am afraid it will be too late to react.

Windhelm's attitude towards foreign enemies has always been to collapse first and then talk about diplomacy, and although this method is effective, it will bury hidden dangers in the relationship between humans and elves in the Northland.

"There's no way to rush it, it's too dangerous to fly low with a flying carpet. 」

The flying altitude of the flying carpet is indeed controlled by the user, but the high concentration is required when flying at low altitudes, otherwise there is a risk that the flying carpet will be scratched by the bumps on the ground or hit the terrain.

"What's more, there's no need to be too anxious, anyway, the snow elves are also sure to lose, and the correct way to negotiate is to fight half to death first. 」

"Then the contradiction will become bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will erupt more violently. ”

「...... Well, it's not like I can't help it, but it's a bit embarrassing to do that, don't say it. 」

The Joy Encounter then summoned a circle that floated in the air like a magnetic levitation, allowing Leach and Alan to ride on it. Then let the two of them each hold one end of a rope, and when they meet, they pull the rope from the middle and run away, like a coachman pulling a cart.

With a quicker automatic, it took the trio less than a day to reach the burned forest.

You create a slightly concave force field disc that will follow you and carry goods for you. The disc is 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick in the center. It can place a weight of 100 pounds per caster level. (If used to transport liquids, it has a capacity of 2 gallons.) The disc always floats at a height of about 3 feet above the ground and remains level. It floats horizontally within spell range and follows you at a maximum speed of your normal speed per round. If there is no other guide, it will stay 5 feet away from you. If the spell duration expires, the float dissipates. Similarly, if you move out of sorcery range, or try to get the dispel more than 3 feet from the nearest ground, the disc will dissipate. When the float dissipates, everything it contains falls to the nearest ground.
