Chapter 431: Mother
It took three days for six ships to sail along the cliff to reach the end of the cliff and round the Cape of the Northland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It took them another three days to find a snow-covered white strait that could barely be used as a sheltered harbor.
After docking the ship, everyone boarded the frozen ground, in front of which was an endless snow forest, each tree was more than ten meters high, covering the sky and the sun, and there were continuous white mountains in the distance, the sky was whistling with cold wind and ice and snow, and the faint roar of beasts continued to sound in the boundless forest, just listening to the roar, you would feel palpitations.
Ahead is the forbidden area of life, the Cold Night Mountains!
They are at the end of the Cold Night Mountains, surrounded by white snow covers, uninhabited for hundreds of years.
Ander rubbed his hands and said with some cringe: "It's the first time I've come to the Cold Night Mountain Range, can we really get through?"
The corners of Barlow's mouth twitched, "I feel hanging." ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Ivo, worried that they had been chosen to follow the unlucky ghost through the Cold Night Mountains.
Ivo glanced at it and said, "Barlow and Ender come with me, and the others are here on standby." It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people, these fighters who are not strong enough, even if they are brought out, it won't do much, so Ivo didn't bother to take them across the Cold Night Mountains, he decided to ask for the help of the tribe.
Hearing this, everyone except Barlow and Ender breathed a sigh of relief and let out a burst of white heat.
Hades was expressionless, "I'll help you watch them." ”
Ivo nodded, the extreme north is cold, the living environment is difficult, and there are few people, it is difficult to ensure that these sailors and subordinates will not have bad intentions, the sailors have to be on standby in the Northland Cape for several months, almost driving people crazy, although the supplies are enough to consume, the mental state of the sailors needs to be more worried, the most reliable Hades left to guard this group of sailors, so as not to make trouble.
So the only candidates to step into the Hokuriku are Ivo, Luna, Barlow and Ender.
After hundreds of sailors had built their strongholds and lit their bonfires for warmth, Ivo led the three of them into the treacherous Mountains of the Cold Night under Gavin's worried gaze.
......
In the snow, a large cauldron on a campfire is boiling broth, Ivo is stirring with a spoon, sprinkling some spices from time to time, Luna, Barlow, and Ander are sitting on the side and waiting for the meal to start, there is a very interesting detail, Barlow, Ander and Luna keep a few positions away, and their fear of Luna is overflowing.
They still remember that during the redemption journey, this indifferent little girl chased and killed them, and the two were extremely curious about Ivo's means of developing such a terrible enemy into a friendly army, and Ander, who finally understood the relationship between men and women in his twenties, even guessed that Ivo had developed a taste for young girls, and was severely beaten by Ivo, who happened to hear it.
The young girl is a fart, this is obviously a mature woman who can't be more ripe.
The four of them trekked through the Cold Night Mountains for more than ten days, and at first Ander and Barlot were apprehensive, but they were amazed to find that Ivo was always able to avoid wild beasts with ease, and to dig up edible plants with great skill, as if he were wandering in his own back garden, and the expected danger did not happen at all.
The rich soup was tumbling, the pieces of meat were cooked well, Ivo scooped four bowls and divided them into the crowd, and drank the hot broth in the ice and snow, the hot and fragrant soup ran down his throat, Ivo let out a pleasant breath of heat, and his whole body warmed up.
"Are you familiar with the Cold Night Mountains?" Ander asked, holding back his curiosity.
Ivo snorted, "I've lived here for a while. ”
Barlow drank the broth like a jujube and looked at the sky, "How long do we have to go out?"
"It's probably going to be about ten days. Ivo nodded, the four of them had a fast journey, they used to run all the way, and they could also exercise by the way.
Luna sipped, graceful, but faster than Barlow, wiped her lips and handed the bowl to Ivo, blinking silently.
Ivo reluctantly took the bowl and added broth to her.
Luna looked accustomed to it, and drank four bowls of broth in a row, and the whole pot of broth was half drunk by Luna.
Barlow and Ender silently watched the two interact, looking odd and winking at Ivo.
Ivo glared at them fiercely, "Look at what, eat yours." ”
Ander muttered, "What's the murder, be careful I tell Sister Nafei." ”
Ivo smiled dangerously and snatched back the bowl from Ender's hand, "Don't eat today." ”
Ander was anxious, "Don't, I haven't finished eating yet." ”
Ivo turned a deaf ear, drank it dry, and threw the empty bowl back to Ender.
Ander held the empty bowl and wanted to cry without tears, eager to hug Ivo's thigh and shout "I was wrong". Ivo's cooking skills are comparable to those of court chefs, and the delicious food is one of the few things that the four of them can enjoy in the bitter cold land.
The four of them hit the road again, without saying a word, and soon in the evening, Ivo found a snow cave to rest for the night.
After setting up all kinds of traps and disguises, it was already dark outside, Ivo walked out of the cave and said, "You guys have a good rest here, and I will come back around noon tomorrow." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Ander in surprise.
Ivo didn't look back, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Barlow and Ander looked at each other, they didn't dare to ask Luna, who was recuperating with her eyes closed, so they had to mumble quietly.
"Did he go hunting?"
"No, we have plenty of food. ”
Ender suddenly gasped, "Ivo is a mimic, could it be that other mimics live in the Cold Night Mountains?" ”
Barlow thought back to Ivo's ease all the way and thought, "It's very likely. ”
The two shook their heads and said no more, they were not prejudiced against Ivo's race.
......
The cold valley tribe was quiet and peaceful in the night, and Ivo came to the entrance of the village, and the statue of Lao De was lifelike, still ugly. (Lao De: "......")
The icy stone houses in the tribe were silent, there were no lights, and the tribesmen were already asleep. Ivo walked lightly to his yard and looked at the familiar scene, a soft color flashed across his face.
Coming to Daddy's door, Ivo knocked lightly, and Daddy's voice sounded inside, "Who?"
"It's me, I'm back. ”
There was a sound in the room, followed by hurried footsteps, and the door was quickly opened, and Daddy Mock appeared in front of him with a surprised face.
"Stinky boy," Mock choked up, squeezing Ivo's broad shoulders and feeling very relieved, "I've grown up." ”
Ivo smiled and gave his dad a big hug.
Mock pulled Ivo into the house and asked, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Ivo scratched his head, helped Mork to sit down, and lit the oil lamp by the way, "It's been ten years, Uncle Shadow said that the tribe's expulsion of me has ended, and a lot of things have happened during this period, I passed by the tribe and came back to take a look." ”
Daddy's face changed, and his tone was inexplicable: "You are already twenty years old...... Time flies!"
Ivo had a lot to say, and when he was about to speak, his father stopped Ivo with a serious face and said slowly, "You should go." ”
Ivo was stunned for a moment, he had just come back, why did his father drive him away?
The old man, who was still full of joy just now, put on a straight face and pushed Ivo to kick him out, "You go quickly, go as far as possible, and never come back!"
Ivo was confused, and hurriedly grabbed the door frame, and said in surprise, "What are you talking about, Daddy?"
"Go now, it'll be too late if you don't leave!" Mock didn't seem to have the meaning of an explanation, and pushed Ivo in a hurry, which made him very confused, and turned to stare at Daddy, "Even if you want to drive me away, at least you have to give me a reason!
Mock was anxious, "Don't say it, if he finds out you're back, you're doomed!"
Ivo was completely kept in the dark, frowned, did not move a step, and said word by word: "What are you hiding from me? What do you mean 'I will be finished if he finds me'?
Seeing that Ivo was very resolute, and knew that his son was no longer the little kid who could be sent away casually, he was very anxious, but he was proud of Ivo, sighed, stopped pushing, and sat down as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said in a deep voice: "You must promise me that if I tell you the reason, you will never return to the tribe!"
Ivo nodded in surprise, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Mock sighed deeply, lowered his head as if thinking about where to start, and said slowly: "You have asked me many times who your mother is and where she has gone, and I have not told you because you are not ready to know ......"
Ivo's face changed slightly, has something to do with his mother?
Daddy looked at Ivo, who was heroic and masculine, and exuded a strong aura with relief, "Now...... You're all set. ”
"Who is she?" Ivo found his voice trembling instinctively, he had no feelings for his mother, whom he had never met, but he was naturally curious and expectant.
"Her name is Lililyn...... Daddy looked at Ivo silently, and seeing that Ivo was at a loss for the name, he slowly said the next words that made Ivo feel like he was struck by lightning.
"She is the sister of the pioneer Amers, the most gifted mimic mage of all time, as we call ...... Sage. ”
