The Pitchfork squad waits for dawn in the ruins of Ringol Pant. Elliott lit a small bonfire and tended to the feverish grasshopper, Danny Stewart collected a large bag of gold coins, and spent the night excitedly confiding in his sister about the luxurious life after returning to the endless sea of sand, Jekong sat in the corner of the room with the famous sword and Buddha tooth in his arms, his clothes were tattered from the backlash of the Nine Light Secret Arts, and Jonah helped him clothe him with animal skins and cotton cloth to protect him from the wind and cold, making the Southerner look like a rag doll with sewing and mending.

There was no more sound coming from within the barrier. Jonah didn't know what the thorn elves were doing, and he didn't dare to peek around the barrier, he had been studying the strange orb, but there were no gaps in its surface, and he couldn't find a way to open it. The flames crackled, a few drops of ice water on the roof fell into the bonfire and turned into green smoke, they were stationed in the art showroom of the elven village, surrounded by countless exquisite sculptures and paintings, but their friends had their own hearts, and no one was in the mood to appreciate art.

The steam clock around the campfire jingled, and it was time for the changing of the guard, and Jonah was to keep watch until dawn. He propped himself up with his staff, added some wood to the fire, put on a heavy fur coat, and put on his hood and walked out of the room. Pushing open the archway, a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the council chamber, and the hole in the center of the ceiling was still sporadically snowflakes, but the blizzard seemed to have subsided.

Ascending the vine staircase to the ground, the boy shivered in the pre-dawn cold, and he stomped his feet vigorously and looked up at the sky. The wind and snow stopped, the sky of the northern continent took on a deep black blue, and the starlight loomed behind the sparse clouds.

"Look over there. Hannah Stewart's voice rang out, and the woman in red walked up to him and pointed due north, "How beautiful." ”

Where the North Star shines, a satin-like aurora cruises across the sky, evolving in a mesmerizing hue. "As mentioned in the "Geographical Estimation of the Northern Continent", it is the result of the combined effect of the magnetic force and air of the endless mountains in the north. The boy sighed, "Yes, it's beautiful." ”

The two stood side by side in the snow, quietly admiring the aurora borealis.

After a long time, Jonah said, "Go down and sleep for a while, there is still some time before dawn." ”

Hannah stretched out her finger, and a snowflake fluttered and fell, landing gently on her fingertips, and the body temperature quickly melted the hexagonal ice crystal through the glove. "I'm not sleepy, so I'll stay with you for a while. ”

The boy turned his head to look at the woman's pretty side face in the starlight, "You've always tensed your nerves along the way, and if you don't rest well, your body won't be able to hold on, Hannah." ”

"It's close. "If they had been here three days ago, they wouldn't have been able to travel sixty miles, no matter how fast they were, and yesterday's blizzard would have stuck them on the road." Should be able to catch up with them soon. ”

"yes. Jonah sensed that Hannah was avoiding the other woman's name, and he cooperated not to mention Long Ji's name, "The last time the communication came, Long Zunjun and his party were at the location of the Emerald Tree, only thirty or forty miles away. But now the communicator doesn't respond, I wonder if they've changed their position. ”

"What do you think they're looking for?" Hannah suddenly reached out and patted the shallow snowflakes off Jonah's shoulder, "What can the Thorn Elves bring them?"

The young man noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere, and replied a little absent-mindedly: "Long Zunjun is the man who has the most special of the Long family's bloodline abilities, the power of 'Great Devouring'. He was able to take other people's bloodline abilities as his own, and maybe he could also absorb special abilities other than those of the Dragon Family. I don't know what kind of power the thorn elf has, if he travels all over the continent to gather all kinds of power, then it will become very dangerous. ”

"After we meet, we think we'll be able to fight. ”

"Fighting?...... It should be inevitable. ”

"With the current Pitchfork Squad, can you defeat a monster like Long Zunjun?"

“...... I do not know. ”

Jonah said guiltily, "I don't know, Hannah. It's just that I have done it to such an extent with an impulse, but I really have to face the head of the Long family, and I don't have any confidence in my heart at all...... I don't even know if Long Ji is with him, speaking of which, I don't know anything about Long Zun Jun at all, if Long Ji has already ......"

Hannah Stewart interrupted him: "Don't think about it. Long Ji is fine, she's waiting for you dozens of miles away. We're going to find her, we're going to get her out of Daddy's hands, and it's not just me, everyone else will help you. ”

“...... I'm sorry, Hannah. ”

"Why do you want to say I'm sorry? Nobody forced me here. Besides, the night sky in the northern continent is beautiful, isn't it? ”

After these words, the two fell silent in unison. After a long time, Hannah suddenly moved her steps, her boots clucking through the snow, "I'm going to rest, you pay attention to safety." Also, to open the orb, try the star array you used earlier. The new Attack Array doesn't seem to be the same as your previous spells, I can't tell, but maybe that's the key. With a wave of his hand, the current head of Stuart's house took the large gun "Admiral" on his back and walked down the vine staircase into Ringol Pant, who was under the ice.

Jonah let out a long breath. He was always very nervous when he was alone with Hannah, and he had been spinning around with thoughts all the time, and now he was finally relieved. Hannah's words reminded him that the "Zero Change" had opened the barrier for the Thorn Elves, and that it might really work on the orb. The boy took out the ball from his bosom and carefully placed it on the raised ice block, making slight adjustments to the star array at the top of the staff Silafina, then took five steps back and began to prepare to attack the star array.

With the experience of the last test launch, this time he strictly controlled the output power, only maintaining a minimum of annihilation energy, in order to ensure that the power of the stars of the two attributes could be sufficiently concussive and tuned, he used star dust to sprinkle a spiral path on the snow, and stood on the outside of the Gilberto spiral, and the center of the spiral was the purple ball. The ice fountain-like air of the Northern Continent made the starline clearer and clearer, and Jonah plucked the red and blue strings, causing the energy of ice and fire to gather in his hands, "Go......" The ice field lit up with strange iridescent colors, red and blue rays intertwined with each other, Colliding, injecting the Gilberto spiral into the incessant explosion, moving inward along the spiral, Jonah could feel each collision bringing the two energy spectrums closer and closer, like two uneven pulleys fitting together, rubbing against each other smoother and smoother.

The "Zizi Zizizi......" ray finally reached the center of the spiral, accurately hitting the purple ball, transforming into a circle of chaotic space-time ripples. The spectacle reappeared, ten thousand worlds flickering in the mirror, and Jonah couldn't help but hold his breath. Suddenly there was a pain in his chest, and a strange burning sensation suddenly appeared, and he fumbled in the pocket of his underwear in a panic, touching a few sheets of hot papyrus.

"Damn, it's a nameless book!" the boy anxiously took out three and a half pages of the nameless book, and found that the yellowed paper began to burn, and the flames of unknown origin were devouring the writings of the betrayer Seglas, and even if he slapped his hands and covered them with snow, he could not extinguish the flames. The words were rapidly disappearing, a prophecy that had never been read, the paper curled, and the scribbled round characters written in ink and pen were reduced to ashes and fell," ...... What is going on?!" The boy's hand was burned so hard that he could only let go of the pages and let the pages burn, trying his best to memorize the prophecy that had not yet been burned in his mind, but the messy words came into his eyes, and he could not form any meaningful sentences in his mind, and in an instant the fire was extinguished, and only a pile of black ashes remained in the snow.

The astrologer fell to his knees, trembling and stroking the ashes. The ashes shattered at the touch of a button, and it was impossible to recover the words, revealing a corner of the charred page in the scattered ashes, and the nameless book prophecy that had guided, encouraged, and propelled him to this day had vanished, and only the few lines of words that remained were barely discernible.

"Seglos the Betrayer......" called the name of the mysterious prophet, and the bewildered astrologer slowly picked up the fragment. There was a sharp popping sound from the vortex in the center of the spiral, and Jonah turned his head to see the purple orb open.

Thirty-three miles away from Ringol Pant, a middle-aged man snapped open his eyes and stood up to stare at the southern sky. "Is there anything abnormal, Lord of the Family?" a tall entourage with unusually broad shoulders immediately knelt down on one knee and asked, "Grandpa Shaojiang is on guard outside, if there is anything unusual, he should send a signal, do you feel anything?"

"Excuse me. The man with gray hair and wrinkles as sharp as a knife said in a deep voice, "You don't understand, even Ah Ying doesn't understand. If I'm not mistaken, the Thorn Elves' 'Frost Treasure' has been activated, and there are still people doing it besides us!"

From his shadow slowly condensed a black figure, the figure of the shadow was exactly the same as that of the middle-aged man, and even the voice was very similar: "We can't open it, how did they open it? Could it be that Gilbernayon really has a successor? ”

The man named Long Zunjun said lightly: "Why bother? Even if someone really inherits the space-time star array, it is just the likes of the earth chicken and the dog, and with the power of my 'Great Devouring', there is no need to open the Frost Treasure to achieve the goal." Let's let them catch up slowly, we are not far from our destination, and no one can stop us. Eat electricity, open the barrier, and I'll say hello to them. ”

"Yes. The broad-shouldered retinue remained unmoved, but the scattered snowflakes that were blocked out were drifting down. A flying snow fell on her face, and the coolness woke up the sleeping woman, who opened her dark eyes and saw the deep blue night sky for the first time.

"It's beautiful. Ryu Ji said.
