Chapter Twenty-Four: The Forerunners on the Deserted Ice Plain

Greenland

In Danish, the name literally means 'green land', but that's just the literal meaning of the word.

White and frost are the main themes here.

Bitter winds blow from the valleys left behind by countless glacial activity, and bring up shimmering and crystalline ice particles, and the relentless cold winds and snow and ice keep most of life out, making it difficult to truly step into the inner part of the land6. If you want to describe the brutal living conditions here, you must only call it 'White Wilderness'. Lack of sunlight and heat makes it difficult for ordinary plants to break through the thick ice, and without the shade of plants, it is difficult for most life to survive in this environment. In such a barren area, there are very few traces of human beings, because even with the technology mastered by modern humans, it is difficult to build a city in this cold wasteland, and the extreme inconvenience of transportation and harsh living conditions make people forget this place.

But even in such a desperate situation, there are still traces of human shallowness.

Summer near the coast

The glaciers slowly dissolve in the light and low temperatures, and although there are still a lot of huge ice floating on the surface of the sea, they cannot hide the greenery of the snow-white coastal edge.

On the gray-black polar desert soil, there are some purple saxifrage and pale yellow poppies, which are still strong and survive despite being blown by the cold wind. If you stand here and look into the distance, you can still see the thick buildings huddled together, and there are still many people living in this hard and cold world, fighting for a chance to survive. Lacking the ability and knowledge, they can only hold on to this land that has been preserved since ancient times, and continue to suffer day by day, generation by generation.

Because the summer weather is barely bearable, many European tourists also come here to see the scenery, although most of them just wander around the bay and enjoy the snow and ice that has been preserved here due to the cold and inaccessibility.

Deeper into the realm is not something that ordinary people dare to set foot in, only those able-bodied locals and professional explorers dare to continue to penetrate this land that has not been massively explored.

And in the middle of a village, a group of people was slowly leaving the village, through the icy valley, towards the deeper part of the ice.

Five pedestrians, all of whom appeared to be no more than twenty years old, were carrying parcels and appeared to be responsible for carrying supplies. The three people walking in front of them were different.

In the ice and snow, there is still just a red girl in a black and white dress, a teenager who walks in the ice and snow casually, just a teenager wearing short sleeves, and a silver girl who follows the teenager and wears a little more.

Among the three, the young man's eyes were the most insipid, as if he was blind to such an extremely cold and difficult environment, the red girl was walking with her eyes closed, but she could faintly see that the girl was walking at the front of the group, guiding them forward, and the silver girl was only seven years old, but it was the first time she had seen such a snow-white scene outside, and sometimes she would look at it a little more. There is a golden-red mark on the girl's forehead, which contains incomparable power, and the heat generated by itself alone is enough for the girl who has not yet mastered much power to move around this place at will.

The two people who walked behind were carrying some supplies and followed closely behind the three of them.

The little girl in gold was looking at the girl who was playing in the snow with some concern. She could feel that there was a terrifying power in the girl who was originally just a beginner in magic, but the girl knew that this power was not hers, but from a young boy who still looked very young.

"Celia?", the young man who walked in front seemed to see that his sister was staying, and asked a little more.

"Huh...... Nothing ......", the golden girl shook her head, as if to prove that she was not stupid.

"Uh-huh, is my sister thinking about someone? Oops...... Sister, you have finally opened your heart to me, ......", before the young man could finish his words, he was knocked away by a huge force and fell into a cold snow.

"Hey...... Younger sister...... Don't take too hard of it...... I'm you...... Brother, ......", the young man's voice came faintly, and the golden girl snorted and muttered in a low voice:

"Can't you talk well...... the **", the girl's face seems to have a different kind of affection, but it is elusive.

The young man who walked in front glanced back slightly, but didn't say anything. In the past few days, he has gotten along with Celia and Jack, and Jean Chen has probably confirmed a lot of information about the two, such as the petite girl in front of him is actually the great knight of the Holly Crown, who can fight with the divine beast with his physical skills alone, and Jack next to him is the girl's elder brother, a genius who has mastered a lot of magic. These two people were sent to Chen's side, and it seemed that they had a show of goodwill, but the most important thing at the moment was to find the god of disobedience who had descended here.

Originally, Tatsumi planned to slowly find this god of disobedience, after all, the god and the king felt each other's breath, and it was easy to meet, but Ruoya seemed to want to show his ability, so he took on the job of searching.

Countless detailed information was transmitted to Ruoya's mind along with spiritual power, which is also a way to exert soul power, similar to the perception released by Chen, Ruoya is using probing at this time, although the accuracy is not high, but the coverage is very large, and it can easily find some traces left by the god of disobedience.

Tatsuya brought Liliana with him, because considering that in the future, when Liliana grows to a certain level, she will also need to stand beside him and face some gods, so it may also be helpful to let her adapt to the coercion of the disobedient gods early.

The 'Guardian Sword', which seized some of the power from Raphael and extended it through the Angel of Wisdom, not only has the characteristics of summoning a rotating sword of flame, but can also turn this power into blessings and protection, so that those around him can also be protected. Of course, if it is used on top knights, it can also strengthen their abilities, and for Liliana, who has not yet grown up at this time, it can provoke the power that she has not mastered, enough to face some less strong dangers.

Of course, the less dangerous storage in Tatsuna's eyes is zài...... Probably just the divine beasts that only have part of the divine power......

In this way, the group leisurely and quickly passed through the mountains and rivers shrouded in ice and snow, and entered the more primitive and deeper barren ice fields.

Here, it is extremely difficult to see human traces, or in other words, it is considered a forbidden area for life.

Even in summer, there are still more than 30 degrees below zero, and for ordinary life, it is just a search for death to rush into this place.

It's been hundreds of kilometers, and I haven't seen any grass or trees...... Jack, who was walking at the back of the group, estimated the number slightly, and although all the qiē on the road looked similar, he could still feel that his group was following a twisted path deeper into the ice field.

Accompanying the king to pursue the existence of the god of disobedience is an extremely dangerous thing in itself, and coupled with the difficult environment here, ordinary people are reluctant to set foot here.

But Jack and Celia, who are the Holly Crown Magic Society, must follow this king, after all, this king came to the territory of Denmark, but there was no corresponding person to receive it, which is a great disrespect to the king, maybe the king will not care about this kind of thing, but no one wants to be charged with provoking the king.

In the midst of association...... The younger generation and his sister can fight against such a divine beast...... If it were anyone else, maybe they wouldn't even have the strength to follow this king...... The young man couldn't help but think about these things in his heart. Even a first-class magician like him can only draw with some weak divine beasts, and if he really faces such a being as a god of disobedience, he must rely on the power of the king.

And the king that Jack was talking about, looking at the still bright sky, thought about it a little.

Because they are already in the Arctic Circle, and it happens to be the polar day of summer, they have been spending the days in the daytime.

Although his body can withstand it...... But...... Tatsumi looked at Liliana and Jack again, and knew that the two of them couldn't keep up, so he gave the order to rest.

The five of them rested in a relatively secret cave, of course, it should be said that Liliana and Jack were resting, and Ruoya, who was also ordinary, didn't seem to need this kind of rest, and Celia, who was a great knight, looked like this.

"Ruoya, how far is the position of the god of disobedience?", Chen, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, felt Ruoya standing next to him, and asked.

"It's not too far, it should only be a hundred kilometers. The soul reaper pseudo-Niang Ruoya is still maintaining her original outfit in such a cold wind, and seems to be explaining the true meaning of demeanor rather than temperature.

"By the way, your body can also withstand this kind of environment, I remember that your physical cultivation is not at home, right?", Tatsumi asked.

"Aha...... Of course, it can't be withstood by the body of an ordinary human being, but because of the spiritualization of the body part, plus some special reasons...... It's nothing to me right now. Ruoya explained very casually.

"Is that ......", Tatsumi nodded, but heard Ruoya's question.

"Lily came along. It seemed to be a sigh-like voice, full of a little helplessness.

"Well...... If she wants to come along, I won't force her. Again...... Now trying to manipulate some of the spirits should be of some benefit to her. There was no superfluous look in Chen's words, and even Ruoya didn't know what the young man was thinking at this time.

Is it because the child who is stubborn can't bring it, or is it because he has the intention of exercising, or is it so that the girl's heart does not have zài's fear of mythology?

Ruoya was a little puzzled, and when he came back to his senses, Chen was no longer in the same place.

(ps: I got up in the afternoon and got up in a hurry...... Maybe it's not quite right)
