But that liquid is not mercury, nor is it a rock solution. I tried to scratch the statue with the blade of my sword, but I got frostbitten on my wrist and almost lost my life there. ”

The paladin continued, "In the Ice Forest, we found many similar stone statues and debris, some left by the ice and water, and some melted by the ice and snow. ”

Leon rubbed his chin, "You mean, over the years, these stone statues have gradually increased in size and become larger, so they are clogged at the end of the ice field?" ”

The paladin nodded, "Theoretically. I expect that in a few moments, all stone statues will disappear from the ice field, including the Tower of Azeroth. ”

Li Ang squinted his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "Listening to your description, it is possible that both the demon and the dragon eagle are hidden in some corner of the northern continent. ”

"Hmm." The paladin bowed his head and said, "Although the northern continent has a vast territory, due to the frequent outbreaks of crustal changes and natural disasters, it has led to the extinction of living beings.

At the edge of this vast land, a mist-like darkness reigns in the world, filled with unknown beasts and evil gods.

I guess that in the southern and northwest regions of the Northern Continent, there are also a large number of traces of demons and dragon eagles. ”

Li Ang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do we want to change our route?" ”

The paladin was stunned and hesitated, "Bypassing Azeroth from the Northern Continent?" But...... The demon legion is in the depths of the ice field and the sea, and it will take years or even decades to make a detour......"

"I mean," Leon explained earnestly, "we can go to the Tower of Azeroth. ”

The paladin frowned, "The Tower of Azeroth is an iconic building of the Azeroth civilization, representing hope and the legendary heroes of Azeroth.

The warriors of the demons and dragon eagles must be guarding the Tower of Azeroth, and if we rush into the Tower of Azeroth, they will surely find out.

In addition, the area near the Tower of Azeroth is probably also buried with the remains of countless ancient powerhouses, many of which are powerful legends, and there may even be the remains of transcendent beings.

Once we enter the range of the Tower of Azeroth, I am afraid that we will be attacked by demons immediately, and there is no way to dodge.

And even if we manage to infiltrate the Tower of Azeroth, how do we get out? ”

The paladin has a point.

Li Ang scratched his head and sighed, "Okay, in that case, we can only give up." ”

"There's no hurry."

The paladin waved his hand and said in a firm tone: "Although there is no way to take that tower for the time being, I think we can obtain resources from other sources." ”

"Oh?" Li Ang said with interest: "What way? ”

"Demon's blood." The paladin said slowly, "Azeroth has been destroyed, but it still retains a strong deterrent power that terrifies all demons.

The only chance we have to leave the Ice World is to collect enough demonic blood to bring Azeroth back to the desert. ”

"Then do it," Leon shrugged, "I'm idle anyway, so I might as well give it a try." ”

"Okay." The paladin bowed slightly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is that Tower of Azeroth far from here?" ”

"It's not far, it only takes about half a day to fly." Li Ang replied casually.

"That's good."

The paladin breathed a sigh of relief, "I have a friend who is interested in demonic blood, and she should have the ability to go through the portal of the Tower of Azeroth and come to the Tower of Azeroth in Ice Lake Town and join me.

I can take her with me and go there to collect demonic blood. ”

After a few words of conversation, the two returned to their tents to rest, ready to recharge their batteries for the approaching demon army.

————

Early the next morning.

Outside the town of Frozen Lake, Leon and the paladin sat by the campfire outside the camp, eating the food they caught last night, drinking fresh water, and chatting.

"I've inquired."

The paladin swallowed the roast meat, coughed lightly, and said, "The Tower of Azeroth, located in the far north glacier northeast of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, there is a place called Arcana Glacier Lake.

We can start by going to the northern continent and walking north along the shores of the glacial lagoon, exploring the mountains around the glacial lagoon and finding the Arcana glacial lake.

If it goes well, it will take us about half a month to complete the northern continent and then reach the ice lake.

I made an agreement with my friend that I would go to the Ice Lake, and she would come to the Tower of Azeroth to join me. ”

Leon nodded, "Then, you have to pay attention to safety." ”

The paladin bowed slightly, said goodbye to him, harnessed his horse, and galloped along the ice and snow road.

Seeing the horse's hooves trampling on the ice and snow and the billowing smoke and dust, Li Ang shook his head with a solemn face and muttered:

"What a silly girl...... How dare you go to such a dangerous place alone.

Alas, but she is willing to go on an adventure with you, which means that she still likes you~

No wonder she offered to marry you in the first place! ”

His mind turned, and he suddenly smiled, "Hey, buddy, do me a favor." ”

He stood up and patted the arm of the burly man beside him.

The strong man turned his head to look at him and wondered, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Ang raised his chin and motioned for him to look in the direction of the paladin, "I just saw that girl running in the direction of the Ice and Snow Forest, you follow her for me to protect her."

I have other tasks on my side. ”

The strong man glanced at Li Ang, hesitated for a second, and finally nodded.

He picked up the hammer and walked towards the snow forest.

The paladin was not slow, and soon came to the edge of the northern edge of Frozen Lake Town.

She looked up to see what was going on around her and made sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, so she jumped up to the treetops, and with the support of the thick branches, she moved quickly and headed straight for the depths of the ice and snow forest.

Leon stood still for a moment, waiting for the strong man to return.

Not long after, the strong man ran out of the ice and snow forest and complained in a low voice: "It's really unlucky, I actually met a group of werewolves!" ”

Li Ang said helplessly: "How is it, have you caught up?" ”

The strong man shook his head, "No." She was so cunning that as soon as she saw me approaching, she fled deep into the forest. I'm going to have to keep looking for her. ”

"Good work." Leon waved his hand, "Well, goodbye." ”

He turned and walked to the camp on the other side, leaving the strong man standing still and touching his head, "Eh, are we going to separate?"

But fortunately, I have more important tasks to do, so I won't delay the time.

Wait a minute...... Who is she? ”

……

Cold, gloomy winters are always extraordinarily long.

In the evening of that day, the three of them finished their hunting mission for the day, made a brief repair in the village, and prepared to set off for the ice lake.

Due to the fact that it was the depths of winter, the temperature of the Ice and Snow World had plummeted, and the climate was harsh, so even a Silver Rank professional could only move near the Frost Canyon at most.
