Chapter 14: The Lost Icefield (Subscription Requested!! )
Thump!
The old man's shriveled body fell hard, and in the blink of an eye, he was sucked dry of blood by Edward, who looked at him in surprise.
It bent down and grabbed the two gold rings that the old man was wearing, and after observing them, it dawned on him.
"It's also the magic of the main god... But it's not like Bishop Fowler's..."
"He worships Tilde, the goddess of sin."
Toure Crowley looked at Edward and said, "The only people who can use healing magic are the followers of Wild, the goddess of health, and unfortunately, the bishop is currently on another ship and will not be able to survive for a short time." ”
"It's useless if he's there."
Edward put away the two golden rings, ignoring the messenger of death who floated out of the mist to harvest the soul of the old man, and the golden-eyed boy glanced at the shivering adjutant beside him.
It didn't make a move, but quickly withdrew its gaze and said, "Tell your king, tell your next pope, and by the way, tell Wild, the goddess of health, that I... Edward, in the future, will definitely take what is lost. ”
The massive black bone wings vibrated and a gust of wind sent Edward into the air and back on the icebreaker.
"Done?"
Ma Wei, who was holding his daughter, came over and asked.
"That's it."
Edward took out two gold rings and threw them over: "I don't like to talk harshly, next time this kind of thing will trouble someone else." ”
"Who better to do the job than you?" Ma Wei sighed: "Is Toure okay?" ”
"As you said, I have left a Witness, his lieutenant, so that he will not be punished even if he lets us go."
Even the bishop with extraordinary power sent by the Church has died, so what can Toure Crowley, as an ordinary person, do?
Edward, who boarded the main ship and went on a killing spree, was clearly not a match of the same level as them, and the lieutenant was scared of his guts, and so could Toure Crowley, whether he was scared or not.
The icebreaker approached the main ship, and the sound of the guns gradually subsided, and the other ships did not dare to open fire, in case they were crooked and accidentally sank the main ship, it would be a great sin.
Through the rising water curtain on either side, Mavi saw Toure Crowley standing on the edge of the ship's side, and the other party was watching him, and the icebreaker crossed over with the main ship, heading off into the distance.
"Will... Checkmate! ”
The adjutant who came back to his senses shuddered and said, "Let's... Do you want to give the order to pursue? ”
"No need, order the ships to count the casualties and losses, and then call the bishops of the other ships." Toure Crowley retracted his gaze at the icebreaker and said in a deep voice: "There is an extremely powerful existence on the other side's ship, which is not something we can compete with at present, and blind pursuit will only cause greater losses." ”
"But if you don't give the order to pursue," the adjutant swallowed, and said in a hoarse voice, "General, you are likely to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy... After all... So many people died, but you were unharmed..."
"Is there such a thing in the world?"
Toure Crowley sneered: "I successfully surrounded them and ordered the cannon to be fired, but as a result, a transcendent appeared on the opposing ship, causing the blockade to be breached, what does it have to do with me?" I'd also like to ask the bishops, who have extraordinary powers, what they eat! Herald! Call them all! ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant hurriedly raised the small flag in his hand and waved it quickly.

Card!
Card!
On the cold wind, the icebreaker struggled to break the huge ice floe, and the hull of the ship trembled, and sailed steadily towards the ice-covered land not far away.
Ma Wei was wrapped in an overcoat and wore a felt hat, standing at the bow of the ship holding a telescope, seeing the ice field, his tense mood relaxed slightly.
After breaking through the blockade of the Royal Navy, they sailed for nearly a week, and finally arrived in the northern Siberian region of the Romanov Kingdom two days before the great cold spell, when the temperature had plummeted to minus 25 degrees Celsius, and even the flames in the steam furnaces were not so vigorous.
The weather was so cold that the crew shivered, and their limbs were stiff, like machines without oil.
"The cities founded by the kingdom in Northern Siberia are very far from the shore, almost 200 kilometers away." Katerina, who was also wearing a felt hat and cotton gloves, pointed to the map held up by the personal maid and said: "We have to cross 200 kilometers of ice fields to see people, because the original destination is Perway, so there is no transportation on the icebreaker, we can only walk, or.... Seek help from the Inuit. ”
"We have plenty of fuel and food, but it's still too dangerous to hike across the 200-kilometre ice field." Ma Wei shook his head and said: "There are no crew members on the ship who have survived in the ice field, and the ice sheet in some places is very thin, which seems to be flat and solid, but as long as people step on it, they will collapse and shatter, and if they fall into the ice cave... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
What's the scariest thing about the Far North?
It's not polar bears, it's not ice and snow, it's not ice holes, it's hypothermia and disorientation!
Once you fall into an ice hole and your clothes get soaked, you will be in danger of freezing to death in a matter of minutes!
As soon as the big cold wave arrives, this snowy ice field will be covered with ice and snow for a while, and the visibility is limited to a few meters around, which is no different from a blind man.
What's more, they also carried a large amount of supplies, and they could carry people on their shoulders, can they be fast?
Staying in the Far North for a long time when the Great Cold Wave is coming is no different from looking for death!
Only the Inuit people living in this area have their own way of survival, and seeking their help is the best way to leave quickly.
The question arises, who should be sent to set foot on the ice fields of northern Siberia and search for traces of the Inuit in the slow snow and ice?
"I can go."
Edward said succinctly, "But I need a translator to be able to express myself to the Inuit, and of course I don't mind violently arresting them, and if you agree, I'll gladly do so." ”
After speaking, he looked at the communication and invited with a smile: "Do you want to come with me?" ”
“.... Are you kidding! I don't know the Inuit language! "The communication was sternly refused, he never wanted to go out with Edward, he always felt that Edward was plotting against him....
"The Inuit living in Northern Siberia speak a Slavic script, and there is no problem with simple communication with the people of the Romanov kingdom." Katerina muttered, "I'll go with you." ”
"No, if you want Your Highness to go, you might as well let me go!" Yakov said eagerly.
"You are all ordinary people, and you can't resist the cold of ice and snow for a long time." "The quickest way is for Edward to take his men into the air, to find the Inuit migration route before the great cold spell comes, to catch up with their large army, and to ask for help," Mavi said. ”
"I probably know the most about the Inuit, so I should go."
"Then I'll go too!" Yunia screamed.
"Well," Mavi nodded, "Then I, Edward, and Nia set out to find the Inuit, and you and Fat Orange Black stay on the icebreaker to beware of the unexpected." ”
I just wanted to say that I can go if you go, and I pursed my mouth and didn't say anything more.
The icebreaker must be left behind, and in case it is attacked by some otherworldly creature, the communication and the fat orange black can at least withstand it for a while.
After making a plan for his stay, Ma Wei did not hesitate, brought some canned food, chocolates and wine, and planned to set off officially.
Edward turned into a giant bat and planned to fly high in the sky with Mavi and Yunia, so that he could deal with danger smoothly, so Mavi returned the Siren's Tears to the communication, and asked him and Fat Orange Black to guard the icebreaker.
Jumping on Edward's back and grabbing the fluff on the back of her neck, Yunia looked a little happy and eager to try, as if she had caught some big toy.
"Along the coastline, the Inuit need to stock up on enough food before the big cold spell and then return to camp for the winter, and now that the big cold spell is two days away, they should have one last hunt."
Mavi patted the giant bat on the back: "Let's go, find the Inuit as fast as you can!" ”
