124. The smell of despair (6k)
"Stomp, stomp!"
"Phew!"
It takes about three days from Mia to the tribe of the snow fox species, and the snow fox species has been in a hurry because of the plague in the tribe, and they not only have to bring medicine back but also face the pursuit of the Turan family behind them, and their group is a little faster, and they also found several sub-tribes to change horses on the way, and then arrived at the station of the snow fox tribe in the afternoon of the third day.
The snow fox race is similar to the sheep race, they both live quite close to the Sema Snow Mountain, and Fisher, who was in the carriage, watched the already towering snow-capped mountains expand little by little in his eyes, until the entire convoy was extremely small, Valentina and they had been here before to explore the underground palace left by the ancestors of the blue bird species, but it was the first time Fisher had seen this huge moat with his own eyes.
In fact, the name "Saima" was given to it by humans, meaning "troll", because there are many people who encounter creatures that may be of the troll species in this forbidden area of life; However, before the rise of mankind and the rule of the Phoenix and the Six Tribes in the north, the real name of this place was "Sayenus", which means "shade", and it is conceivable where its real name came from.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to go to our tribe, and while it is a bit selfish to say that now, I beg you not to spread the war to our tribe... Our whole clan has just been attacked by the curse, and we can no longer be in any danger, and along this northwest is the place to climb the mountain, and I will prepare food and supplies for those who climb the snowy mountain, and I will also send carriages for those who want to take refuge in other tribes..."
Just as Fisher was leaning on the edge of the windowsill and looking at the huge snow-capped mountain in front of him, the carriage slowly stopped, and the Dahl patriarch also lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the brown fox had a little desire to say something, even if it was for the sake of the tribe, it was impossible for him to bring Fisher and them back to the tribe, which would bring ruin to the isolated snow fox species.
"Where, Patriarch Dahl is grateful to have sent us here, let's go on our own... Everyone, let's go up the mountain as planned, Phyllis, Fisher, and I go up the mountain, and you take care of the two of them, Hedilyn, and this is the entrance to Sema's Snow Mountain, so let's separate here for the time being..."
Phyllis yawned, jumped out of the carriage first, looked around, and asked the snow fox next to her,
"That, little fox, do you have any weapons, lend me one, mine is broken... Wait, what is this, a toothpick or a stick? ”
Phyllis looked at the small spear of about a meter or so and the short and small dagger handed over by the snow fox species, she was a little speechless for a while, she sighed, still put a dagger into her arms, thanked her by the way, and turned around to wait for Valentina to get out of the car.
And Balzac nodded, and said to Valentina,
"Boss, you've already written down the route, right? There seem to be a lot of temporary camps left by previous climbers on the mountain, and I have also marked the approximate location, if the supplies are not enough, you can go there to see... Well, take care. ”
"Take care, boss."
Valentina looked at Balzac and Celti and nodded, and finally looked at the maid lady sitting next to her, she opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak,
"Hedilyn..."
"Miss, I... I'm sorry, there are a lot of things I can't do, that's it..."
"Hedilyn, you've done well enough, you were my mother's most trusted person, and so have I. We have entrusted you with the care of the previous time, and we will do what you want to do in the rest of your life. Don't be sad, I'm willing to fail, and if we succeed, we'll meet again one day. ”
The more Hediline listened, the redder her eyes became, and her nose became more and more sour, she couldn't help hugging Valentina in a wheelchair anymore, and choked up,
"Miss, take care, I'll miss you..."
"yes, definitely."
Valentina reached out and patted the back of Hediline's head, and it wasn't until a long moment later that she wiped the tears from her face, turned her head, and sobbed at Fisher,
"You can't use a wheelchair on the snowy mountain, so put the wheelchair here and let Phyllis carry the eldest lady on her back... Fisher, the eldest lady will entrust it to you in the future, you must take care of her. ”
The more she spoke, the more sour her nose became, and the tears that had just been stopped couldn't help but burst out again, and Emhart couldn't bear to look at it directly, and Fisher didn't say anything else, just patted Hedilyn's shoulder, and then walked towards Valentina,
"Leave the rest to me, whether it succeeds or not, I'll be with her."
Valentina watched Fisher walk towards her, her face flushed slightly, and she gently extended her hand to Fisher, who let her wrap his arms around her neck, and his hands held her hips and back, and lifted her from the wheelchair with ease.
The feeling of weightlessness made Valentina subconsciously get closer to Fisher, but suddenly found that his body temperature was quite high, and it was quite comfortable to lie in his arms, so she hesitated for a second, and secretly buried her head in his chest, her fragrant breath hit Fisher's chest, making him feel quite hot all of a sudden, and finally gasped for breath.
Seeing this, Valentina thought that she was too heavy, she buried herself in Fisher's arms and raised her head a little embarrassedly, looking at Fisher with a pitiful expression,
"It's... Am I too heavy, or..."
Fisher just glanced down at the petite girl who was now holding him wholeheartedly in his arms and didn't dare to look at it anymore, for fear that one would go directly into a state of hunger without paying attention, he looked away expressionlessly, and said,
"Well, sort of."
Valentina puffed out her cheeks after hearing this, and her pink fist couldn't stop hammering into Fisher's chest, as if she was massaging him, the force of the action was not great, but Fisher's breathing became heavier and heavier, and Emhat, who had a dead fish eye on his shoulder, glanced at Valentina in his arms, and immediately exclaimed,
"You're a big fart, this guy is as strong as a cow, he doesn't feel tired even if he carries the train, let alone your little body... I think he's going to explode if you hammer it down any longer, don't move, you know, or you'll be in serious trouble, not to mention that the great book didn't warn you. ”
“......”
Valentina knew what Emhart was talking about even if she was a blank sheet of paper, and her face instantly flushed, and she looked up at Fisher's appearance that avoided her gaze, and she no longer dared to hammer him, but remained in his arms and did not move.
It's just that despite the appearance, Valentina felt that her heart was beating fast, and even a little bit of joy, she had always felt that Fisher was joking when he said that he should pay attention to danger, after all, he was just a disabled person, and he was probably not attractive to him as a normal gentleman, right?
Now, when Valentina is really sure that Fisher will be born because of herself... When that kind of desire, although she felt shy and panicked, the love born of him could not be concealed no matter what.
However, the sweet heat of Fisher's gaze did not last long, for Fisher had just gotten out of the carriage and handed Valentina to Phyllis, while he himself had taken the supplies they needed to go up the mountain and prepared to begin the ascent of Sema.
"Goodbye, boss!"
"Farewell, Miss Valentina. I will take care of the rest of your companions to the other tribes, so please rest assured. ”
Patriarch Dahl sat in the carriage and greeted the three of them, then farther and farther away from Fisher's gaze until they were completely out of sight.
And Fisher really took a deep breath, from the moment he left the snow fox species and set foot to climb the Sema Snow Mountain, the challenges he faced would also follow, he looked up at the snow-covered mountain road in front of him, and turned back to Valentina and Phyllis on his back and said,
"Then let's go too, and when we enter the deeper position of Saima Snow Mountain, we don't have to worry about the Turan family, the terrain there is too dangerous, and they will be too heavy to afford, this section of the road into the outer part of Saima Snow Mountain is what we really need to worry about, cheer up."
Fisher in front of her was carrying two large bags of supplies as fast as carrying two bags of air, and Phyllis behind her also nodded, but before leaving, she still glanced at Valentina on her back who had been looking at Fisher's back in front of her, and then laughed and teased,
"Boss, or let Fisher carry you, I think you can't wait to stick to it."
Valentina's face turned red, and she avoided Phyllis's gaze in disgust, and only whispered,
"No, let's hurry up."
"Yes, let's go."
......
......
"Phew! We're here! ”
The Dar Patriarch and his party who left the Saima Snow Mountain quickly arrived at their tribe that had survived for generations after several hours of travel, the Snow Fox Species loved to use stones to build buildings, you may find it hard to imagine how they could move these huge stones with their miniature size, but the fact is that the Snow Fox Species is a very industrious and united race, and they are good at cooperation and deception when they carry out the teachings of the Moon Princess, so they are very efficient.
Although the place where you live is deserted, if you used to be close to this place, you can hear the sounds of snow fox species working and chatting, but now everything is quiet here, and it looks quite deserted.
Balzac leaned against the window, looked at the dead silence of the snow fox tribe with some embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice,
"Is this dead rot, so quiet, are they all sick?"
However, the Dahl patriarch beside him frowned, he looked at the quiet tribe outside, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted to Juna and Hedilyn behind him,
"No, I set up a quarantine area before I left, no matter how serious the epidemic is, there should be guards standing guard, but now there is no snow fox here, and there are other people coming..."
"Phew!"
Just as Patriarch Dahl had just finished saying this, the whole carriage braked suddenly, and everyone in the carriage fell forward due to inertia, and the whole carriage also slid out of the snow for a long distance before it could stop.
Regardless of the moans of several passengers in the car, the Dahl patriarch stepped out of the carriage before he could stand firmly, but saw a dead silence of the snow fox tribe full of snowflake knights in heavy armor, in front of the group of snowflake knights, there was also a middle-aged man wearing the costume of the Turan family, behind the middle-aged man, several blonde Nari people were staring at the carriage in front of them.
"Long time no see, Patriarch Dahl, the Turan family sends you their best wishes... I would like to ask, is our eldest lady Valentina Turan in the carriage? ”
Patriarch Dahl opened his mouth, he was stunned for a long time speechless, just stared blankly at the empty house behind the group of snowflake knights, the middle-aged man in the Turan family costume sighed impatiently, and then his fingers trembled slightly, and the group of knights in heavy armor behind him walked straight in the direction of the carriage.
The sound of the armor hitting the ground suddenly woke up the Dahl patriarch, and he leaned against several mini snow foxes behind him, and hurriedly said,
"Miss Valentina isn't in our carriage, she..."
"Winter!"
Before Dahl could finish his words, the group of knights walked directly past him as if they couldn't understand human words, and walked towards the carriage, where they reached out and tore the wooden carriage open, revealing several members inside.
The middle-aged man looked at the few people who had been caught by the knight, and when he saw Hediline, his brows furrowed slightly,
"Hedilyn... Oh, you traitor to the family, you have betrayed the bastard who trusted the patriarch. ”
His fingers trembled slightly, and the knight next to her gave Hedilyn a slap, and the slap directly knocked Hedilyn to the ground, she lay on her stomach in the snow and coughed a few times, and she couldn't stand up anymore, so she only scolded in a low voice,
"Gardeli... You're damned..."
Gardley Turan, a retainer given the surname by the Turan family, served as the head of the Turan family, responsible for the internal affairs of the Turan family, and Hediline was the orphan she brought back from outside the fortress to train and train.
Along the way, the speed of their group was fast enough, at least the members of the Turan family in Mia couldn't keep up, but they couldn't bear to report that the family brought more snowflake knights, and the snowflake knights could move quickly over long distances, and they knew that Valentina left in the carriage of the snow fox species, so they simply came to the snow fox species' lair to wait for them.
Gary heard Hediline's voice, and was about to shake his fingers to let the Snowflake Knight continue to beat Hediline, but then the Nari man behind him suddenly spoke,
"Mr. Gardley, now is not the time to deal with the traitors of your family, finding your eldest lady is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Gardley's fingers paused for a second, he glanced back at the blonde Nari behind him, and was silent for a second before nodding.
Hedilyn recognized at a glance that the Nari people standing behind Gardely were the Nari agents who had seen Valentina and wanted to retrieve Fisher before, and now they were looking for Fisher and Valentina, they simply smelled the same, and it was not surprising that they were working together now.
It's just that what Hedilyn doesn't know is that Gaddlei, who is actually in charge of recovering Valentina, is very wary of this group of Nari, and if it weren't for the fact that they said they could deal with the man hired by Valentina, Fisher Benavides, he wouldn't have cooperated with these guys... For no other reason, these guys were so wicked, and Gardelia felt like they knew everything he was thinking.
Knowing that he had never told them the purpose of finding Valentina, the blonde man named "Corleone" could always guess and let himself be handled just right.
Gardely didn't know that Corleone had the remote plug-in "Yin Lisabeth" behind him, he just kept a guard against them in his heart, and by the way, he shook his finger and let several snowflake knights carry the mini Dahl patriarch to him.
"Patriarch Dahl, if you think about it carefully, the Turan family and the snow fox species are considered to be well water and not river water, right, not to mention, your tribe has also suffered such a serious death and rot, we were also surprised when we first came, no wonder they cooperated with us... Ah, and haven't you already found the antiseptic to bring back? ”
Gardley glanced behind the Dahl patriarch, and a snowflake knight walked back to them with a bundle of antiseptic and Fisher-engraved injection magic.
Patriarch Dahl glanced at Gardely in front of him, and only felt the scarlet aura rushing across his face, which was so smoky that he couldn't open his eyes, he just said,
“... Miss Valentina was separated from us when we were in Mia, and the wounded ones were entrusted to our care, and she and the lion-man were gone with the Nari. ”
Gardley sighed and said,
"I've heard that the snow fox species can read the breath of other people's thoughts, and can tell whether others are lying or not, so they are famous judges in ancient times, so why do you have to make up lies to deceive me? To tell the patriarch the truth, you set up a quarantine area at the back of the tribe to prevent the spread of dead rot, right, but unfortunately when we came in to find the whereabouts of the eldest lady, you resisted..."
Patriarch Dahl's eyelids twitched slightly, he opened his eyes in disbelief, and the scarlet aura on Gardelia in front of him became thicker and thicker,
"Don't look at me like that, Patriarch Dahl, as I said before, the Turan family and the snow fox species have always been well water and not river water, so how could I harm the lives of those people... It's just that I can't do anything about it, so I have to drive all your clansmen into the quarantine area, so it's not too much, right? By the way, bring me all these snow fox species except for the Dahl Patriarch..."
"You!"
Dahl's patriarch Tong Kong flinched, and he was picked up by the Snowflake Knight, and he tried to hit Gardel in the face, but he took a slight step back before Dahl could do it, dodging his weak attack.
"Father!"
"Patriarch!"
Gardley clasped his hands and didn't speak, just watched the Snow Knight pick up the remaining snow foxes and walk towards the quarantine area behind the village, Patriarch Dahl watched in a panic as Zhu Na was taken away, his heart was extremely struggling at the moment, but watching Zhu Na go farther and farther, he finally lowered his head and shouted,
"They... They had only come from the carriage a few hours earlier from the southeastern foothills of Sema's Snow Mountain, and I... Let go of my people and my daughters, I have told you. ”
After hearing this, Gardley's fingers shook slightly, and several snowflake knights who had left with the snow fox species stopped in place, while Corleone behind him spoke,
"Fisher's journey is very fast, and with him and Miss Valentina, we will soon leave the outer reaches of Sema's Snow Mountain and go into the depths, where the terrain is too dangerous to chase, so we must speed up."
Gardeli hesitated for a second, then nodded, and commanded to several Turan armed men standing behind the Snow Knight,
"I flew with Snowflake Knight to intercept the eldest lady, you guys are here to watch this group of guys, especially Hedilyn, a traitor, when I come back, I want her to have a good understanding of what the consequences of betraying the family are."
"Yes!"
The members of the Turan family who were heavily armed in the back nodded, and if they looked closely, there were dozens of them, but the main force to capture Valentina this time was not them, but more than a dozen snowflake knights from the family.
"Mr. Gardley... Now, now that you know where Miss Valentina is, let me first give the antiseptic to the people of the clan, many of whom are already seriously ill if they are not treated..."
Gardley glanced at the Dahl patriarch in front of him with his head bowed and pleading words, and then said with a smile,
"Look, I've forgotten about this stubble, since you helped us, we're friends, let's take the antiseptic to cure the disease."
Patriarch Dahl glanced guiltily at Hediline, who was lying in the snow behind him, and Balzac and Celti, who were under control, and then turned his head and walked in the direction of the Snowflake Knight holding the antiseptic next to him, but the next moment, Gaudelly's fingers shook slightly, and the Snowflake Knight's arm reluctantly pinched and burst the whole bundle of antiseptics.
The bottle of antiseptic suddenly burst in front of the Dahl patriarch, and the medicine splashed everywhere on the ground, and occasionally a few drops fell on the face of the Dahl patriarch who was frozen in place, he touched the hairy hair on his face in a daze, the smell of the medicine continued to pour into the tip of his nose, and then a wisp of pure black smell burst out from him and several clansmen behind him...
"No... No, medicine..."
Gardley walked up to Patriarch Dahl rather "sorry" and said with some pity,
"Ah, I'm really sorry, these snowflake knights are high-end goods in the family, and I haven't used them much, so I'll give them all at once... But it doesn't matter, I'll go to Mia and buy more antiseptics in person to make up for it, I mean, after inviting the eldest lady back, what do you think? ”
The Dahl patriarch watched in amazement as the snowflake knights lifted Gardeli and the Nari men up, and then stretched out from under their armor a jet of blue light that shimmered with the cardinal's blue light.
"No... No, you can't go, my people... They don't have time! ”
"Look after them, and we'll come back when we go."
"Yes, Director Gardleigh."
Facing the old Snow Fox Patriarch who was rushing towards him, Gardley didn't care about the Turan clan armed men who were still staying behind him, and he didn't even need anyone else to make a move, and the next moment the huge impact that burst out from under the Snow Knight rushed Patriarch Dahl out at once.
A dozen snowflake knights carrying Gardeli and several Nari people quickly rose into the air in the direction of the outer direction of Sema Snow Mountain, while the other members of the Turan family who remained in the tribe slowly walked towards Hedilyn and Dahl lying in the snow...
Throughout the Snow Fox tribe, the black smell of "despair" is spreading.
