In December 1091, a desolate and dilapidated town somewhere in the Sámi Icefield welcomed an uninvited guest.

Men in blizzard coats trudged through the snow with great difficulty.

……

A lot can happen in a decade, or it can be the same, and it's been a long time since guests visited this town.

In mid-June 1091, Zhou Jinru left Lentinium and followed a predetermined route to Sámi, but due to the long distance, he could not always catch a convoy, and after leaving the area of human activity, he had to go on his own and cross the wilderness.

When we arrived in Sami at the end of October of that year, the extreme northern climate entered an eight-month winter, and the bitter cold made any living thing despair.

"Sir, the town you are going to did not exist ten years ago, and I heard that there was a natural disaster, and no one escaped, so it has been abandoned since then."

"That's right, thank you."

Zhou Jinru came out of the post office, there was no joy or sorrow on his face, the cold wind blew the corners of his clothes, and the man's boots stepped into the snow and went in the other direction.

The town is abandoned, there will be no convoys, there will be no messengers, he needs to go alone.

Moreover, the reason for the destruction of the town should not be a natural disaster.

With the vague memory in his mind, Zhou Jinru drove a bought carriage, which was full of supplies, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

It wasn't until more than a month later, after three round-trips, that he finally found the ruins of the town.

The whole town was buried under the snow, and even the carriage could not get in, so he had to carry a large backpack and keep going.

"It's not a natural formation, it should be a source stone technique that changes the environment, in order to bury the black snow caused by the inner guard."

By observing the wreckage of half of the building exposed to the surface, Zhou Jinru judged that it was the tavern where they had been temporarily resting.

He took a few more steps, estimated where the carriage was parked, and then took out the metal shovel that hung from his waist and dug down with all his might.

It wasn't long before the shovel hit something, and he knelt down to push away the snow and ice, and found that it was a frozen and hard carport canvas.

"The horse was in the stable, the body was parked in the backyard, and everything should have been there when it happened suddenly."

Zhou Jinru continued to dig while talking to himself, the thick snow was nothing in front of him, and it took only a very short time to dig out the frozen carriage after finding the target.

"Help, 003."

The phantom figure appeared, grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands, lifted it hard, and gently placed it on the ground as Zhou Jinru moved.

"Thank you."

The unconscious humanoid phantom slowly disappeared, Zhou Jinru looked at the carriage frozen into ice with a complicated expression, took off his gloves, pressed on it, a trace of fire burst out, and the ice melted.

He found his suitcase, as well as Lilia's relics, but no one touched them.

The next step is to find out where Lilia is buried.

When they fled in a hurry, they couldn't tell the direction at all, and now Zhou Jinru had to set the search range within a radius of ten kilometers.

It took a whole day to clear the snow in the abandoned town, barely working in the stables, lighting a fire to keep warm, and setting up a resting place, and on the morning of the fourth day, he began his search.

First of all, at that time, he was chased by the internal guard, and he ran a distance on horseback, certainly not close, and certainly not too far, he just bandaged once, and the internal guard caught up.

Based on the fact that the abandoned town is covered in heavy snow, the site where he and the three internal guards fought must have been piled up with a thick layer of snow, so the target for the search should be on a small slope.

Time passed day by day, the days were very short, Zhou Jinru could search the scope of a limited time, and he had to return to the town for supplies, and soon, the time came to February 1092, his wind and snow coat became tattered, but the cold weather seemed to have no end, and there were constantly cold currents blowing from the north to the earth, as if there was no end to winter.

The man standing in the carriage held up a telescope and carefully observed his surroundings, and he was almost done searching the fan-shaped area.

I don't know why, a woman suddenly appeared in the camera, and it seemed to be walking in her direction.

Zhou Jinru put down the telescope suddenly, his emotional perception did not warn in advance, and he didn't even find the source of the other party's emotions!

The woman in the white coat carried a magic staff, she walked very fast in the snow, the thick snow could not be a hindrance at all, and it only took a few minutes to walk from a long distance to the carriage and look up at the man standing on the carriage.

"Hello, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Jinru couldn't see the depth of this woman, so he first greeted him in the most ordinary way.

The woman's voice is particularly ethereal, like a stream, which is intoxicating.

"May I ask the guests from afar, what are you looking for?"

Ice and snow, in the wilderness, a woman suddenly appeared, Zhou Jinru breathed the cold air, jumped down from the carriage, his legs sank into the snow, he stepped on the surrounding road with great effort, and then said: "I'm looking for a friend, she has slept here for too long, I want to take her back." ”

"So, maybe I can help you, can you tell me about her?"

Zhou Jinru politely refused: "Don't bother, I think I can find it soon." ”

It is true that this woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, very different from the women he has seen, with some divine aura on her body, and different from Chu Xue's lazy temperament, in short, it is better to be careful.

"Brave guest, few people can refuse my invitation, please tell me, where are you from and what are you doing in the ice field?"

"I said, I'm looking for a friend, don't worry, I'll leave when I find it."

The cold wind blew the woman's cloak, revealing a beautiful pale blonde hair, and she had a pair of beautiful aqua blue eyes, which seemed to have some kind of magical power, like ice and snow that had been covered for thousands of years, and even a fire would freeze at a glance.

Unconsciously, Zhou Jinru's body was covered with a layer of frost, and he was gradually turning into an ice sculpture, and before he could react, the whole person froze in place.

The woman said coldly: "You have a disgusting aura on your body, you are in the same group as those monsters, and you still want to deceive me!" ”

She was content with what she saw, as if the villain had received the punishment he deserved.

But at this moment, a crack appeared on the surface of the frozen statue, like an egg breaking through the shell, and the man who should have lost his breath of life easily broke free from the restraints and said coldly: "What are you talking about? ”

The woman was taken aback, her body was as light as nothing, floating over the snow, and retreating more than ten meters, but her eyes suddenly went dark, and at the same time, her body bloomed with crystal clear ice cubes, freezing herself in it.
