【Ding! Traveler, you triggered the epic quest: The Attack of Lecastel the Locust (Aftermath)]

[Mission Description: One of the apex of this world's natural disasters, the Locust Plague Lecaste, spanned tens of thousands of kilometers from the warm Great Yan Empire, and it took 45 days to finally come to this perennial low temperature and wind and snow-covered land.

You need to survive the locust plague, and when the traveler dies once due to the locust plague, the mission evaluation will be lowered by one level, and after three times, the mission will be declared a complete failure.

[Reward: Talent Effect Upgrade Times x1 (the highest upgradeable talent quality depends on the task evaluation), random talent draw chance x1]

[Description: Locust plagues like to eat objects with non-flawless source fluctuations, traveler, as an alienated person, you will inevitably be targeted, enter a safe place to hide as much as possible]

Luo Xi became nervous just by looking at the description of the text.

Epic quests.

Is this level of mission really something that a small new player like him should encounter?

It can only be said that this made him deeply realize that the dream world on the other side is definitely not a game.

The operation of the game and the level of character upgrades are generally gradual, but this "Dawn" really threw his level zero number directly into the hell difficulty dungeon.

Luo Xi glanced at the time on his phone slightly.

It's seven o'clock.

There are still almost two hours left before the agreed work time between him and Ai Xue.

Don't worry, first solve the situation in the game, at least find a relatively safe place to rest assured.

Luo Xi continued to tap the screen.

[Traveler, you get up from the snow, you see Aina's face is extremely panicked]

["Brother Luo Xi, what are those black things in the sky!?" 】

[Traveler, you say, "Probably the plague of locusts you are talking about?" 】

"That's ...... Can the brilliance of the sacred tree really be stopped?" 】

[Aina takes off the cotton hat from her head, and you find that the child's wolf ears are straight like a frightened dog]

[After she glanced at the anomaly in the sky a few times, she kept looking in the direction where Wei'er had just left, and then shouted directly to the road:

"Sister Wei'er! Come back soon! Something is going to happen!" 】

[Aina's voice didn't travel far before it dissipated in the snowstorm]

[Traveler, you don't know if you should stop this child's cry at this moment]

[The cat has been gone for about ten minutes, and after she found out about the changes in the sky, she should have rushed back, right? 】

[As the canopy formed by the brilliance of the sacred tree is covered with more and more black objects, the sky and the earth become gray sharply, and at the same time, you find that the temperature around you is getting colder and colder, even if the continuous heat flows on your body, you can also feel the chill caused by the decrease in the surrounding temperature]

[Aina is moving closer to your body again]

[You notice that the little wolf girl's body is trembling slightly, and the girl lowers her head, letting the snowflakes fall on her head in large pieces]

[Traveler, you can't help but sigh]

[Since their mother Liya left, the cat is the only pillar that Aina's child can live strong in this world, right? 】

["Let's go find your sister......]

[Traveler, before the end of your words fell, you heard Wei'er's voice from below: "Aina, Luo Xi! Come down! As we continued deeper into the city, the situation changed! I can't stay here anymore!" 】

["Sister!" 】

[Aina jumped off the cliff at once, and you can't catch this kid yet]

["Ah!" 】

[You hear the cat below snort softly, and then softly scolds, "Who made you jump down from such a high place? And Luo Xi, I'm not letting you be optimistic

Aina's? Why did you let her jump off alone! Aina, why don't you wear your hat? Isn't it cold?" 】

[Traveler, you also quickly jumped off the cliff]

[Less than two seconds later, you landed next to the two girls]

[Before Vile can continue to rebuke you, you Traveler immediately say, "I'm sorry, I didn't take a good look at Aina, by the way, are those things in the sky locust plagues?" 】

[Vile paused, and then snorted: "It should be right, if the characteristics of the locust plague are as I thought, the kind that can eat any object, then we may not be able to be safe and sound under the protection of the glory of the divine tree, we must find a way to enter the core protection range of Winterfell, and how long do you want to hold your sister Aina?!" 】

["Aina is going to hug her sister!"] 】

[Aina stuffed her head into Wei'er's arms and rubbed it, (● ̇▾ ̇●) said: "Sister Wei'er, I have discussed it with Brother Luo Xi, if you don't come back, Brother Luo Xi will elope with Aina, don't want my sister." 】

[Cat Mao Fury (╬◣д◢): "He dare!" 】

[Traveler, you nodded subconsciously, and after seeing the cat's expression, you quickly shook your head]

[How dare you elope with the ignorant little Lori, that is going to be arrested by the police]

[Wait, is there no police in the dream world?] 】

[Note: Perverted Suspicious Traveler, have you finally found out?] The police can't control this.]

Luo Xi silently tapped the screen twice.

Can't be fooled by dog texts.

[Wei'er glanced up at the dark oppressive sky and said, "The blessing of the Divine Tree should last for a while, let's go quickly.] 】

[Traveler, you ask, "Is it okay to enter the core protection zone of Winterfell?] 】

[The cat glanced back at you, and said in a deep voice: "After all, that is the place where the Divine Tree is really guarded, the wind disaster ten years ago penetrated the glory of the Divine Tree, destroying almost the entire Gray Stone Street, although many people died in Winter City, but most of the dead people lived in the wild, and none of the residents under the true light of the Divine Tree died." 】

------

In the wilderness of Winter City, in the courtyard of a mansion covering an area of several hundred acres with various winter flowers.

Compared to the dilapidated greystone streets, this is a paradise.

However, since this is not in the inner city, the land here is still very cheap, and as long as you have the money, you can easily build a large number of gorgeous residences.

At this moment, outside in the snow, a group of servants are burning the stove, letting the billowing heat dispel the cold and feed the two people in the pavilion.

The Rat King Noss put down the black chess pieces and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Delcos, your chess skills have regressed, and I won this game."

On the opposite side, an old man with a gloomy face angrily slapped the white chess piece in his hand and sneered:

"Hehe, isn't it just that you won me, it's outrageous to call me up to play chess so early, if I hadn't slept well, I would definitely be able to win this game!"

"Don't worry."

North took a sip of the tea that was about to freeze, and said with a smile, "Delcos, I came to you this time to ask you where you stand, do you want to be on my side or Mazar's side?"

The old man was silent all of a sudden, his gloomy eyes looked at the Rat King, and said gloomily, "I don't stand anywhere, three years ago, I was on your side, but what did you give me? Did you give me a reduction in my life?"

The Rat King laughed and said, "You old man has a lot of momentum after becoming a judge of the Judicial Yuan, I heard that you have sentenced many people who have not been sentenced by evidence over the years, just to maintain your corpse forest, right?" Is that what you need for this sorcerer path to sublimate and break through the fourth-order emblem? So many xenos are allowed to enter the city today, and what agreement did you make with Mazar?"

Dercos stood up from his stool at once, and roared:

"North, I just want to live a few more years, don't force me to reveal your true identity, if the City of Glory knows that your Church of Truth will take this city

The city has infiltrated so much, and you have even set your sights on the true canon of the Winter Divine Tree, what do you think will happen to you?"

"We're each other, you're even worse than that hypocrisy of Mazar, what do you think the City of Bright will do with you after dealing with us? And I'm just in partnership with the Church of Truth."

The Rat King looked directly into Delcos' cloudy eyes and smiled, "But I am not like you, you are afraid of death, but I am not afraid, in my heart, there are things that must be done even if you die."

Delcos roared, "What's the matter? Say, North! Let me see what you're thinking!"

North's eyes instantly changed to different colors, one gray and the other green, and his voice became extremely deep:

"I'm going to completely reshape the world into what I want it to be, and for that, I can pay for everything, even my own life!"

Delcos's momentum suddenly fell.

He said weakly, "Crazy, you're even crazier than that guy from Mazar, if it weren't for that woman suddenly turning back at the festival for three years, I'm afraid you'd have already completed your plan, right?"

"Yes, but this time there is no Lia, the old city lord is no longer there, and Noah's church has all been evacuated due to the source disaster."

The Rat King narrowed his eyes and said, "You should know that my purpose is different from that of Mazar, he wants to become the ruler of this place completely, but then he can't give you what you really want."

The old man asked, "What can you give me?"

"Didn't you say that? Text.".

The Rat King smiled, "If you can look through the canon of the Divine Tree and make up for your necromantic emblem, it will be somewhat useful, right? Now that the little city lord of Hill is in the hands of Mazar, and the two keys to unlock the seal that Riya set up back then are in my hands, I am temporarily in balance with him, so I need you to be on my side to be a weight for victory."

Delcos was horrified, "I thought you just wanted to control, you wanted to destroy ......."

The Rat King smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to interrupt the old man's words: "The moment I get the Divine Tree True Canon, I will use the characteristics of the Calamity Factor in my body to devour the power of the True Canon, and directly step into the peak of the Fourth Order of Alienation, and peep into the realm of the Fifth Order Monarch as a mortal!" Even if you still can't complete the emblem of sublimation, I can help you find the fragments of sublimation later!"

"You're going to die! It's not something that people can ......."

"I'm not going to die!"

North looked at the old man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "On the eve of coming to the end of your life, don't you want to gamble? Mazale can't help you with this, you should know that he is a man who is content with the status quo! I can't help you much."

Dercos was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Where's the Winter Legion Commander Scunow? The Power Armor Legion in his hands is a *** annoyance, have you ever co-opted him?"

North shook his head and said, "That guy is a stubborn donkey, only loyal to the old city lord, I can't win it over, and he has long suspected us."

Dercos asked, "What about the two keys you have in your hand?"

"I've always carried one with me, and the other...... I wanted to take her into town today, but I didn't expect to sneak in last night."

North laughed, "It saves me a lot of effort, aren't you a pure-blood? I've never experimented with xenomorphs, so how did I partner with Mazar this time? Don't say no, I know you're definitely involved."

The old man shook his head: "Actually, he also gave me a promise......

Suddenly, both of them trembled at the same time.

North narrowed his eyes and looked up at the dense black shadows above the canopy.

Delcos wondered, "What is it? Locust plague Lecaste? How can it be so fast?"

The timing of the aftermath of the catastrophe is a little wrong.

According to the news from the previous victim city, the aftermath of this time, which had been reduced a lot, was at least half a day away from them, so why did they arrive in Winterfell so early?

It's not good, Xiao Wei'er is still outside, she has to go and bring the child back, the thin radiance of the sacred tree in the outer city in the cold winter can't stop the long-term erosion of the locust plague.

"!"

North suddenly scolded, leaving Delcos in a daze.

"What?"

"The rat eyeliner I let out is all dead again! Who did it?! Found by Mazale? Aren't they alert?"

"The ......"

Delcos pointed to a nearby winter tree, which was rapidly freezing, and many of the servants were screaming in panic with frost on their faces.

"Is it possible that your rat froze to death?"

"Freeze to death?"

North felt the temperature around him, squinted his eyes and took a closer look at the situation nearby, many *** things outside were frozen out of thin air.

He remembered a phenomenon that had been documented.

North stood up abruptly, and said in a low voice, "Delcos, I think I know why Lecaster is half a day early, there is only one possibility, on the way to it, there is something of the same level as it drove it away."

Delcos' expression froze, "You mean, this time, in addition to the aftermath of Lecaste, there is also a source disaster that we don't know about?"

"This cooling and icing property, if I'm right."

The Rat King Noth said with a deep look in his eyes: "Thirty years ago, three large cities of the level of Winterfell were frozen overnight, and they were called the source calamity that brought ice and extinction - the third source calamity, the snow calamity of Slet, and now this phenomenon is estimated to be just a precursor, if it is the arrival of the main body this time, we will probably have to explain it."

The old man gasped.

Then he suddenly remembered something, and the whole person jumped up from the stone bench and ran out, not looking at all like a bad old man of sixty or seventy years old.

"! My forest farm!"
