Chapter 17: The Truth?

"Yes, Mithril is also metal, and it needs to be sharpened from time to time. But there is one thing, it does not stick to the dust, it does not rust. ”

Through the firelight, Rhodes looked at Caroline and said.

Rod noticed that Caroline in front of her no longer needed a fire to keep warm, which meant that her magic had indeed risen a notch. One of the obvious characteristics of the Frost Witches is their body temperature, and the high-ranking witches do not feel cold even in the ice and snow. Because their bodies are close to the ice constitution, which means that their body temperature has dropped to a level that ordinary people can't imagine, which will freeze their emotions and make them ruthless.

Of course, Rhodes didn't want Caroline to be like that one day, and for now, it was still far from that day.

"It's amazing that I was with you that day to witness its birth, and now, it's exactly the same as it was back then. ”

Caroline said happily. Although the mana will change, and the body temperature will also change, the curiosity that will not change......

"Well, and there's another feature of this axe, which I discovered laterβ€”it doesn't touch anything weaker than itself. To put it simply, dust, filthy flesh, rusty iron...... These are the dregs, much weaker than it, and the Thunderaxe won't absorb them. Dust cannot settle on it, and blood stains do not leave marks on it, they will run down the axe. Rust doesn't show up, as it's originally made of Mithril. So, it looks the same as when it was first forged. ”

Rod said with a smile. Caroline sat down curiously, she next to Rod, with her cold fingers lightly touched the axe handle, the ancient runes of the dwarves were quietly engraved on this battle axe, from the spiraling axe handle to the smooth axe face, the runes were engraved on it, like a handicraft as delicate, full of artistic beauty.

However, unless Rod touches it and wields it, the weapon will always be just a normal Mithril weapon, and the runes on the axe will only glow brightly when Rod uses it.

"It's amazing...... Caroline sighed, her fingers sliding gently over the Mithril axe like a lover, the coldness matched the chill in her body, a very comfortable feeling.

"By the way, what did the white bear find in the camp last time?"

Caroline suddenly remembered something. She looked at Rhodes, her gaze was like a frozen lake under a snowy mountain, clear and blue.

"Terrible creatures have been discovered"

"What's that?"

Caroline asked.

"You promise me first, if I tell you, you can't tell anyone outside. ”

"Well, I promise you......"

"Swear. ”

Rod threatened. Swearing is nothing in the world that Rhodes lived in in his previous life, and a man who has sworn doesn't have to worry about a thunderbolt falling and hurting himself. But here it is different, people in the medieval world attach great importance to oaths, and once people swear allegiance to someone, an organization, they have to fulfill their oath for life. Those who break their vows will be punished severely, and those who have made an oath to the gods will be cursed and will never be liberated. Therefore, swearing is actually very serious in the medieval world, and the consequences must be weighed by yourself.

Caroline hesitated for a moment, but in the end, curiosity overcame fear......

"In the name of my father and in the name of the gods, I will keep the conversation of the day......"

The Frost Witch read it seriously.

"Well, let me tell you, the white bear found a vampire. 90 Literature Network

"What? vampires!"

Caroline exclaimed, and Rod quickly covered her mouth......

"Don't make a noise, you just promised me not to tell a third person about this. ”

Caroline then composed. He looked at Rhodes with a pair of puzzled eyes.

"As far as I know, vampires are no different from ordinary people, how did the White Bear find them?"

Caroline, who had calmed down, asked. She couldn't help but be nervous, what kind of creature vampires were Caroline knew very well, they usually looked no different from humans, hidden in human society, once they started, ordinary people were not the opponents of these vampires at all. Even if it is a frost witch, it takes time to cast spells, unless a high-level witch has reached a very strong melee ability, and can cast instantaneous spells at will, otherwise, an ordinary vampire attacking a witch will be in mortal danger.

"Ursok is no ordinary white bear, he is the spirit bear, the king of the white bears. He could sense the presence of danger nearby, and perhaps it was the wind of death emanating from the two vampires that he sensed it, so he took us there. ”

Rod patiently explained.

"Then we should go and inform the others, my father is still in that team!"

Caroline was anxious.

"No, you need to be calm at this point, Caroline. I know you're worried about your father's safety, you're worried about everyone, but without evidence, how can we report it? Get the attention of other vampires. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the origin of those two vampires and investigate what they want to do. Also, are there other vampires mixed into the legion? ”

Rod calmly analyzed, and the witch gradually calmed down again.

"You should have let me know sooner, so I could have told my father to keep an eye on those two people, no, those two vampires!"

Caroline said indignantly.

"If I had told you earlier, you would have told your father a long time ago. That would be bad for him. ”

"You ......"

"Listen to me first. Rod lowered Caroline's finger and said. "I have no intention of offending your father, but I have to say that Lord Varel is a very greedy man who fears death, and if you tell him that there are vampires around him, he must be on his guard at all times, and he will show unusual caution and fear when he is not aware of it, which can easily attract the attention of vampires. If the vampires fear that they will be exposed, they may even poison your father. So, at this stage, it's better for your father not to know about the existence of vampires than to know about them, which is actually protecting him. You know, in the legion, except for you and me, no one may know that those two young nobles are vampires, and without Ursock, I can't know. ”

Rhodes once again gave Caroline a clear analysis, so that Caroline couldn't help but put away her naΓ―ve thoughts.

"It seems like it's complicated...... Why are there vampires among the people sent by the Ice Queen? Doesn't the Queen know about herself?"

Caroline frowned and muttered to herself, the light of the fire shining on her innocent and immature face. Rhodes wanted to tell her the truth, that the Ice Queen wasn't necessarily a good thing, but in the current situation, he still couldn't say. The Frost Witch's loyalty to the Ice Queen was well known, and their loyalty could not be broken in a short period of time, so even with Caroline, Rhodes knew he had to hold back.

"What sound?"

As they chatted, the white bear Usok stood up alertly again, staring at the endless night with his blood-red eyes. Even Rhodes felt it, and with the blessing of the bear god Urson, his sense of smell and hearing was much more sensitive than normal......
