Chapter 174: Albert Hurley
Ever since he saw the military airship, Caleb had seen many airships pass by.
In the past few days, the weather has gradually become worse, especially in the mountains, where the snow is falling so hard that sometimes it is impossible to see objects even 10 meters away.
And after that, Caleb and the others never saw the flying ship again, and they really couldn't see it clearly.
The cold wind on the snowy mountain was bitterly cold, and the three of Caleb walked on the mountain path.
Squeak.... Squeak....
As the group walked through the snow, Caleb tightened the rope on his body and looked back behind him.
Betty and Ena were in fine condition, and when they saw Caleb turn around and nodded at him, both of them tied with a rope around their waists to prevent them from falling apart.
In heavy snowy weather, no matter how thick the clothes you wear, you will feel cold.
Ordinary people in such places quickly lose their way and freeze into popsicles in less than half an hour.
Fortunately, Caleb and the three of them are not ordinary people, and their physical fitness has long exceeded that of ordinary people.
In order to protect against the cold, the three of them also came up with a lot of ideas, such as the small round cake in the arms of the three of them now, which was named the magic crystal furnace by Caleb.
In the middle of the round cake-shaped metal is a small glass-like container, in which a small fire-type magic crystal is placed.
Betty has carved a line of magic on the glass container, which can slowly release the fire magic in the magic crystal.
The fire magic will make the metal hot, and the temperature will be maintained at about 40 degrees, which is very convenient to use, and if it is placed near the heart, the blood will spread the temperature throughout the body.
Relying on this small furnace, Caleb and the others' trip to the snow mountain was not hard, except that they had to be careful of the ice beasts that suddenly appeared.
Now, for example, Caleb suddenly stopped and looked at the snow mist rolling in front of him.
Howl β
A pack of white-haired ice wolves is hunting.
Caleb looked towards the wolves, who seemed to be chasing something and were running in their direction.
As the wolves approached, Caleb saw a man who seemed to be an adventurer running desperately before the wolves.
He seemed to have been running for a long time, staggering on his feet, and it didn't take long for him to fall to the ground and not move.
"I didn't expect to meet my peers in this snowy mountain....."
Based on the obligations of the Adventurer's Guild, in the face of the adventurer in distress, Caleb, who is also an adventurer, still decided to save him.
But Caleb didn't want to fight this pack of wolves, there were too many of them, roughly more than 300 of them.
Once you start fighting, it is difficult to kill them completely without using a wide range of moves.
But now it's in the mountains, and if you accidentally cause an avalanche, it's not good.
Moreover, the meat of the wolves is not tasty, and Caleb really has no interest in this group of wolves.
Fortunately, wolves are the best type of monster to deal with in Caleb's team, because they have the weapons to deal with.
"Ena!"
Caleb turned around and shouted to the group.
Ena nodded, took a deep breath, pulled down the scarf that covered her mouth and nose, and howled.
"Whewββ!!!"
A superior aura emanated from Ena, and the wolves in the distance suddenly stopped, looking at Caleb and the three in disbelief.
Ena took a few steps in the direction of the wolves, and a slight commotion suddenly appeared among the wolves, who slowly retreated, not daring to take another step forward.
Ten seconds later, a wolf howl came from among the wolves, and the tone seemed to be asking and threatening.
"Howl-"
Ena also raised her head to the sky and howled again, and began to communicate with the other side.
After two or three words of yelling, Ena took out the carcass of a two-horned deer from the ring on her body and threw it at the other side.
"Whew-"
Ena made a deal with the wolves, trading the corpse of a thorny deer for the life of the adventurer in the distance.
Receiving the carcass of the thorny deer, the wolves slowly retreated.
"That's it!"
Ena made a 'yes' gesture to Caleb and Betty behind her.
"Well done."
Caleb patted Ena on the head and led the two of them towards the fallen adventurer in the distance.
Lying on the ground was a very young teenager, already suffering from multiple frostbites, and his purple-red skin looked oozing.
Caleb reached out and touched the adventurer's body, but there was no warmth at all, but fortunately, his heart was still beating.
"I'm dying, it's good that you met me, otherwise the gods would be difficult to save."
On Caleb's gloved right hand, a pattern of intertwined wings suddenly appeared, glowing with golden light.
Extremely effective holy healing!
Golden dots of light fell on the boy, dragging the dying boy back from the hands of death.
The purple-red skin quickly returns to its normal complexion, and the lost temperature on the body is also rapidly recovering.
"Brother, I found this."
Ena's voice came from afar, and a metal necklace in her hand caught Caleb's eye.
The workmanship of that necklace is so delicate that it doesn't look simple at first glance.
"Where did you come from, this boy?"
Caleb took the necklace and asked Ena:
Ena shrugged her nose and nodded.
"It should be, it's just his smell on this necklace."
Caleb took the necklace and examined it carefully, and found that the necklace was actually made of pure gold, which absolutely did not exist among civilians.
Gold represents the rights of the aristocracy, and the commoners must not use pure gold as jewelry except for gold coins, and there is such a law between countries.
So this necklace must be from the hands of a nobleman, so the person in front of him must be a nobleman.
And he is also a great nobleman, Caleb rubs the bauhinia flower pattern on the necklace pendant, and there is only one that will engrave bauhinia on jewelry.
Grand Duke Bauhinia - Salisbury family, one of the three princes of the kingdom.
By the way, the other two are Elila's Bosville family, the family crest is a griffin, and the emblem of the Kingdom Army is also derived from the Bosville family.
The other is the no longer defunct Isabel family, which will not be introduced here.
The Salisbury family is a large family that controls all the educational institutions in the kingdom, and almost all the nobles come from the schools established by the Salisbury family.
The absolute neutral faction in the kingdom, dedicated to education for generations, is a well-connected and unprovoked family.
These are all the information recorded in the book when Caleb was reading the book, but Caleb did not know about it.
"A noble adventurer, it's really rare....."
He looked at the young man who was still asleep, and couldn't figure out what had caused a nobleman to come here and become an adventurer.
Caleb threw the necklace directly at the young man's body, and with a roll of telekinesis, he lifted him up.
"Let's go, end early today, find a place to rest!"
Caleb shouted to Ena and Betty behind him.
"Well, Ena please."
Betty nodded in response and said to Ena behind her.
"Good~"
Ena moved her body and untied the rope from her body, and with a stomp of her feet, she jumped into the air with empty steps to find a place to rest.
Caleb took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was only afternoon.
Even so, on this snowy mountain, the light is still as dark as night.
Finding a place to camp would take a lot of effort even for Caleb.
Only creatures like Ena, who can manipulate the dark element, can see everything around them.
After a while, there was a sound of stampeding the air in the distance.
Boom!
A black crack appeared in the air, and Ena leaped out of it and landed firmly in front of Caleb.
Ena, who had stood firm, jumped up and shouted happily:
"Found it, brother!"
She pointed to the left and said:
"Over there, there's a cave."
"Well, let's go that way."
Caleb took out a magic crystal stove and stuffed it into the boy's arms, and the three of them set off again, walking towards the cave that Ena had discovered.
............
The orange-red firelight was the first sight Albert saw when he opened his eyes.
Albert looked at the flames in a daze, and his body was warm, as if he had sat in front of the fireplace as a child.
"I...."
'Am I dead, wolves....'
His mouth was so dry that Albert couldn't even speak.
But the faint voice also caught someone's attention.
In Albert's misguided mind, he felt a cloud of water floating around his mouth.
The water was slightly warm and sweet, the best water he had ever drunk.
Albert gulped down the water, and in a few strokes it was gone, and he fell asleep again.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still greeted by the fire, but this time Albert had a different view in his eyes.
It was a shaggy, innocent bear face, and it sniffed Albert as it sniffed at Albert, two powerful jets of air spraying on his face.
Before Albert could react, he saw the bear open his mouth and burst out a sentence.
"Don't stay in bed when you wake up, do you know how many days you've been asleep?"
"Whoaaaaa
Albert was startled, and hurriedly got up, and when he looked at the giant bear lying in front of him, he asked in horror:
"Beast. . . Orcs? β
"No, it's human."
Caleb stepped out from behind the bear, still holding a giant roast in his hand.
When the bear saw Caleb, he had a human expression on his face, and he approached Caleb flatteringly, his eyes fixed on the roast in his hand.
"Eat, it's today."
"Whew!"
Caleb threw the roast into the cavern and watched the bear leave with the roast before he sat down in front of Albert.
Caleb took out a bowl of thick soup and a piece of bread and placed it in front of Albert, and he looked up at the young man who was still full of astonishment, and asked:
"Your name?"
Looking at the steaming soup and bread in front of him, Albert swallowed.
But the long-standing aristocratic etiquette made him not go to get it immediately, but thanked Caleb in a hoarse voice:
"Albert Hurley, thank you so much for saving me."
Caleb's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard Albert's name.
"Albert, I see."
He nodded, pushing the plate in Albert's direction.
"Eat, let's talk about it when we're done."
Albert took it carefully, took a bite of the bread, and his eyes lit up and he devoured it.
After a while, Albert had eaten everything, and he moved his mouth twice before thanking Caleb beside him:
"Thank you very much, the food was delicious."
"That's good, why did you come to Snow Mountain, I think your level is only a D-level adventurer, right?"
The level of the demonic beasts on the nearby snowy mountains is not low, and Caleb looks at Albert's strength, and he is only a junior warrior.
The Adventurer's Guild shouldn't let people of this level come here, and the mission level here should be above B.
Albert heard Caleb's question, and the expression on his face was bitter, sad, and depressed.
"I'm a member of the Liberty Feather Adventure Team, a B-rank adventure team.
This mission was issued by Koso Wedge City, and in order to cope with the upcoming wave of Warcraft, it is necessary to come to this vicinity to pick herbs unique to this area.
At this time, there are no magical beasts near the growth of herbs, and the difficulty of the task is also very low, but I didn't expect to be attacked by wolves this time.
Everyone on the team died, but I was the only one who survived. β
Albert recalls what happened before he escaped, and everything is similar to what he described, but Albert has always had a sense of disobedience in his heart.
I always feel as if I've forgotten something.
But before Albert could think about it, a loud explosion was heard outside the cave.
Boom Boom β
