Chapter 47: The Frozen Rift

Two days ago, Mina carried six people from the adventure group on a long journey around half of the Yarra continent, because Mina's flight altitude was extremely high, far beyond the vision of the creatures, so there was no regional commotion along the way, so unknown travel over the Yara continent, skimming over the territory of the Farar Empire. Since one hundred and fifteen years ago, the demigod Nelly of the Farrar Empire, on the grounds that the knight was loyal to the belief in glory and justice rather than loyalty to the royal family, refused the call for war from the Farlar Empire's external attack, and was forced to leave the empire to join the neutral land, the empire has not been able to have a new demigod born for more than a hundred years, so Mina and Pennis, who deliberately bypassed the neutral place, did not cause any demigod induction, and unknowingly completed the reconnaissance of two locations in the Farar Empire at a high altitude, but unfortunately, the hard reconnaissance in exchange for only Eva's ruthless denial, the target they are looking for is not in these two locations。

However, the regret did not last long, and a day later, on the permafrost ice field, Eva finally confirmed that the fragments carrying the ninth laboratory of the fifth sector were on the ice field below, but the area was very large, a circular area with a radius of thirty kilometers. After confirming this, everyone did not rush to land, but asked Mina to take everyone back to the northernmost medium-sized city of Bute, the land of mages, where it is one of the closest cities to the permafrost ice field, so there are necessary items for fist to go to the ice field for adventurers to buy and replenish. The girls have never entered the permafrost icefield, and even Pennis has only entered it once, and it is not for a long time, so they don't know much about the necessary materials on the permafrost icefield, but Pannis and Catherine still used the information they found from the adventurer's guild branch and combined with their own adventure knowledge to buy enough icefield adventure materials. Not only that, but Catherine was in a situation that no one expected. She also did another thing, she browsed all the high-level quests in the guild about the permafrost ice field, and recorded all the quests about collecting in it, like this. Once the items you are looking for on your task list are found in the icefield, they can be collected in a targeted manner, so that there is no time lost and a significant portion of the net expenditure for several months can be covered by the task rewards. If you're lucky, you might even have a surplus.

Everyone has no strength to evaluate Catherine's behavior of not letting go of any opportunity to make money, and everyone knows that although she is extremely enthusiastic about making money, she can still distinguish the key points, and will never put everyone in danger because she is eager to make money, let alone delay the business because of making money, and it will not have any substantial impact on the actions of the adventure group, so she will pretend not to see it. Whatever she was happy about.

After making all the preparations, everyone was once again carried back to the Frozen Ice Plain by Lady Mina, this time after Mina dropped them, she went straight back to the Dragon Mountains, where she also needed to invite Vahn, the eldest of the Dragon Clan, to hold a meeting to discuss the problems caused by the Pennis and the others, and it was impossible to waste time on the ice field with everyone to find a goblin ruin.

When Mina leaves, everyone needs to walk on the ice field on their own legs, and they realize how terrifying the permafrost ice field is, one of the legendary forbidden places of life. Not to mention the biting cold wind even through the thick cotton clothes, and not to mention the snowflakes that often fall without warning. Just the simple act of walking can cause considerable trouble for everyone. Walking on frozen snow and ice, which are as smooth as mirrors, even if you have non-slip chains wrapped around your feet, you can still fall if you are not careful. Although I didn't feel much when I fell because of the thick clothes, if this happened in battle, I am afraid it would be a disaster. And because they could fall at any time, their walking speed was reduced to an exaggerated level, and they used to walk at a normal speed that saved their physical strength. You can advance at least a dozen kilometers per hour, but when you get here, the distance of more than ten kilometers takes at least a whole day to complete.

It took half a day for the six people to get used to the feeling of walking on the ice field, trying not to let their bodies lean forward or backward, maintaining a speed perpendicular to the ground, and even when walking, they tried to ensure that the entire ball of the foot hit the ground at the same time, in order to increase the force area, and adjust the force angle to prevent slipping. Relying on this way of walking, everyone can be regarded as smoothly advancing a certain distance to the front of this cracked canyon.

"If it doesn't work, let's take a detour. Catherine hesitated and said, "The wind here is not strong enough to use a kite to float over like in the Flash Forest, and it would be too dangerous to jump over." ”

"It's not a short distance if you take a detour. Pannis looked into the distance along both sides of the rift, shook his head, and said: "There is no end in sight on either side, I estimate that there are at least three or four kilometers each, and at our speed, if we want to get around, I'm afraid it will take half a day to a day, which is too much of a waste of time." Lina, in this environment, can you use the terrain change to summon stone pillars to increase the height of our side?"

"You want to take advantage of the altitude difference to glide over?" Lina immediately guessed what Pannis's intention was and shook her head, "Unfortunately, ice and snow cover the earth, and you can't change the terrain here unless you cut the ice to a certain extent." ”

"That doesn't seem to work. Catherine frowned and said, "Vivien, when we landed from the deep sea, your pontoon bridge was very effective, and it is also full of water elements, can you use that method again?"

"It's the ice elemental here. Vivien corrected: "Although the two are of the same origin, but the characteristics are completely different, the water element is very plastic, I can use them to make a pontoon, but the ice element is almost non-plastic, I can't let the pontoon stretch out of thin air, unless I can convert enough ice into water, but here it is obviously impossible." ”

"That's a problem. Pannis clasped his hands on his chest and said in a tangled voice: "If there is no difference in altitude, if I use some tools to glide from here, I will have to descend at least thirty or forty meters when I get to the opposite side, and the cliffs on the opposite side are full of ice, and I dare not guarantee that I will be able to climb to this height smoothly." Forget it, I'll try it anyway. ”

"Hey, that's a mess. Catherine was taken aback, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'd rather spend an extra day detouring than be so nonsense, what if it fails." ”

"I'll fasten the safety leash. Pannis took out a special safety rope 200 meters long and tied it around his waist, patted the knot and said: "With this safety rope, even if I can't cling to the ice after gliding over there, I won't fall down." ”

"Yes, it won't fall, but it will fall down more than 100 meters and then hit the ice, right? Catherine rolled her eyes and said angrily, "We don't want to find a way to get you out of the ice, you put the rope down for me." ”

"Well, then you'll have to take a detour. Pannis patted his head in distress, but he still obeyed the command to untie the rope and put it in Eva's outstretched hand on the side: "Let's take a detour, I hope we are lucky enough to choose the side with a shorter distance, maybe we can reach the opposite side by this time tomorrow." ”

Everyone was seriously thinking about countermeasures, no one paid attention to what Eva was doing, and when Catherine found out, the goddess girl had already tied the safety rope to her waist, without any expression on her face, and walked to the edge of the cliff without saying a word.

"Eva. Catherine exclaimed, "What are you going to do? Don't mess around, it's dangerous." ”

Eva looked back at Catherine, who was cautiously approaching, tilted her head in confusion, still didn't say anything, just turned around and took a step towards the sky beyond the cliff. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the goddess girl just stood outside the cliff with her feet dangling, letting the cold wind blowing from the cliff raise her blonde hair.

"So, what the hell were we struggling with? Freya suddenly covered her eyes as if she had no face, and muttered in a low voice, "It took more than ten minutes to discuss countermeasures and study various possible ways, and the result was ...... She can actually fly. ”

"I never knew she could fly. The corners of Catherine's mouth twitched and said, "If you know, what are you wasting all this energy for, Pannis, don't you know?"

Pannis answered this question with practical actions, and shouted directly: "Eva, how can you fly?

"It's okay to have a certain level of strength, this is the special ability of the Three-Eyed Clan. Well, almost to the level of strength between your Legend level and the demigods, you can barely walk in the air like this, and if your strength can be raised to the level of the top supreme powerhouse, you can fly freely. Eva stood in the air, as steady as standing on flat ground, and could easily turn around and say, "Don't you know? Those supreme beings have fought with the gods before, and if they can't fly, how can they fight the gods head-on, I thought you already knew." ”

"Uh, well, it does make sense. Pannis and Catherine looked at each other awkwardly and laughed dryly. Indeed, because since the Goblin civilization, almost all creatures must rely on wings to fly, even the only exception is that the demigod mage only uses spells to barely move slowly through the air, and it is difficult to count as a type of flight. Therefore, everyone ignored what Eva said about the problem, not even ignoring, but not thinking about it at all. Pannis shook his head self-deprecatingly, threw a few metal chisels, and shouted with a wry smile: "Be careful on the way, and fix the rope when you pass, so that it is convenient for us to pass." ”

"Got it. In Eva's straight voice, she faintly heard a hint of laughter, and quickly turned around and walked towards the other side of the cliff step by step. (To be continued.) )
