Chapter Seventy-Six: The Himalayas
On the snowy mountains, goose-feather snowflakes continue to fall from the sky, and fierce cold winds run wantonly in this mountain range.
The white snow elves also fluttered with the wind.
On the almost eternal snow, two people are struggling to make their way.
It was Artoria and Mordred, who were separated from Rika Fujimaru.
Before Rika Fujimaru separated from them, she replenished them with enough magic.
Although for the Immortals, most injuries can be recovered as long as the mana is replenished, for some reason, Mordred is still in a coma.
On the mountain range separated from Artoria, Rika Fujimaru looked at the old man in front of her with a wary look in her eyes.
Aisin Jueluo Zhengyuan.
This is the name on the old man's newspaper.
But Rika Fujimaru had never heard of the name. Out of her unknown knowledge of this old man, Rika Fujimaru's heart was full of uneasiness.
Picking up the teacup, Fujimaru Rika looked at it and looked Aisin Jueluo Zhengyuan up and down.
The old man noticed Fujimaru Rika's gaze, but he didn't care at all, taking a small sip of tea in his cup.
After the two sides were filled for a long time, Fujimaru Rika couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Mr. Aisin Jueluo." ”
The old man raised his head and looked at Fujimaru Rika, and the two looked at each other.
At this time, Fujimaru Rika noticed that the old man's eyes were incomparably deep, so deep that they seemed to be able to devour everything.
Startled, Rika Fujimaru immediately looked away.
"What's the matter? Little girl. ”
The old man's expression was still calm, and he had a premonition about the girl's reaction, "Just say what you want, don't have so many twists and turns, I don't like the old man." ”
"Then, I'll just ask."
With the permission of the old man, Fujimaru Rika did not plan to be polite.
"First of all, I want to know, who are you?"
"A bad old man. In detail, it is the guardian of this mountain range, a redeemer. ”
"Guardians? The Atonement? ”
Fujimaru Rika said suspiciously: "Excuse me, can you elaborate a little bit?" ”
“…… As early as two hundred years ago, I had already foreseen the end of the Qing Dynasty, and I also foresaw the sins that Aixinjue Luo would commit. ”
After the old man was silent for a moment, he explained to Fujimaru Rika, "Since then, I have been thinking about how to leave the seeds of the bloodline for the Aixinjue Luo clan. ”
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally under the guidance of a great senior, I came here, and here I swore to the Heavenly Dao - "This body will be here in the border of Yongzhen Huaxia until the body collapses and the soul dies, and I only wish that the bloodline of the Aixinjue Luo clan will continue to be inherited." ”
After listening, Rika Fujimaru was silent. She was well aware of the weight of this oath, but it didn't seem strange to think of those things in the Qing royal family.
Then she asked again, "That, Mr. Aixin Jueluo." Who is the senior you are talking about? ”
"The senior."
The old man raised his head and said with memories in his eyes: "That senior's full name is Dongfang Yan, and he is the great senior of the entire Huaxia magic world. In terms of strength, let alone exceeding, there are only five fingers that can compare with him. ”
"Oriental ......"
With this surname silently in her heart, Rika Fujimaru remembered something.
After figuring out the identity of the old man in front of her, Fujimaru Rika asked the question she was most concerned about now: "So, why are you blocking me here?" ”
"There's a reason for that, of course."
The old man returned to his previous calm appearance and said, "Because you can't participate in the next thing, you can only be done by those two female dolls." ”
"Why?"
"If you ask me about this, I don't know. Because this is what the predecessors of the East confessed as early as two hundred years ago! ”
Hearing this, Rika Fujimaru couldn't help but be silent again.
"Then how can I just watch?"
"No, for you, Dongfang seniors have other explanations."
"What!"
Fujimaru Rika's eyes widened. Artoria and the others are heroes of this world, but they come from another world.
That Dongfang Yan senior, could he even foresee his own arrival?!
At this moment, for the Dongfang Yanda senior, who had never met, Fujimaru Rika's heart was full of awe.
"As for your arrangement, the senior's original words are: "If a girl with orange hair and wearing a Western white dress comes here, you can just let her go to the highest point."
The highest point?
Hearing this, Rika Fujimaru looked up and looked up, where was the summit of Mount Everest, which can be called the highest point on earth.
The old man also looked there and said, "I have been there for curiosity, but I have found nothing. I guess my level is too bad compared to my seniors. ”
Rika Fujimaru withdrew her gaze and looked in the direction where Artoria and the others had left.
The old man saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's concern, and he said with a smile: "You can go ahead, I am watching here." Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
Rika Fujimaru was silent.
The old man didn't say much.
"What if I insist on going over?"
After a moment of silence, Rika Fujimaru spoke.
"Then I can only stop you. Old man, I have been guarding this place for two hundred years, and I can also call on the power of the leylines here. If it really starts, I'm not much worse than you, the crowned hero. ”
"The last lord of mankind, a visitor to another world line, Rika Fujimaru."
“!!!”
Rika Fujimaru's eyes widened, and the shock in her eyes was indescribable.
She knew very well that she had never introduced herself. She was still wondering why the old man didn't ask who she was, but now she understood.
It turned out that he already knew who he was.
Is this what the Oriental senior told him?
was told his real name and origin, and Fujimaru Rika had no doubts in her heart.
Up to now, she was still a little wary of the old man, but now it seems that she no longer needs to.
"Then, my two companions will be taken care of by you, Mr. Aixin Jueluo."
Fujimaru Rika stood up and bowed solemnly to the old man.
"Well, go ahead."
The old man smiled and accepted the salute.
After saluting, Rika Fujimaru stood up straight and rushed towards the summit of Mount Everest.
The old man watched Fujimaru Rika leave, then turned his gaze in Artoria's direction.
By this time, Artoria and the others had crossed the snow and came to a mountain area that was not covered with snow.
It's a rocky place, and there's hardly any place to put your feet. In addition, in order to conceal herself, Artoria deliberately avoided places with travelers, which made the road more difficult.
"This is ......"
Artoria looked around. It's not covered in snow, but the temperature is still very low, and the cold wind blows on the pavement, which makes people's faces ache.
Looking around, there was no vegetation on the rocks, and there was no sign of life here except for himself and Mordred on his back.
Looking into the distance, you can see large areas of clouds, as well as the plains looming beneath them.
"We're supposed to have crossed Mount Everest, right?"
Artoria said with some uncertainty.
Each breath exhaled turned into a white mist, then condensed into ice, clinging to Artoria's face.
Artoria unhappily wiped off the ice slag.
It didn't have any effect, but it was quite uncomfortable.
"It's finally going to work."
Artoria smiled, then looked down at her armor.
In order to keep warm, Artoria has put on her spiritual clothes at this moment, but in front of the Himalayan environment, it is of little use.
Judging from the clothing conditions of her and Mordred, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for normal people to rely on this body to cross the Himalayas.
That's what the Heroic Spirit can do.
After confirming her position, Artoria took a deep breath of the thin oxygen in the air and continued to walk forward.
"I don't know how Miss Rika Fujimaru is, is she okay?"
As she advanced, a flash of light flashed in the sky, and a black meteor slammed down on the two Artoria.
Smoke and dust filled the sky, and a loud sound was heard into the distance.
