Chapter 390: Where's the Magical Mr. Albedo?
Howling snow poured in through the cracks in the rocks and fell into the boiling hot soup on the campfire, and the sticky sweet smell of carrots and beets wafted through the spacious cave.
Picking up the snowflakes piled up in the cracks of the stone, looking at the few blurred shadows in the outside world, Eula Lawrence pulled the blanket on her body, and said a little helplessly:
"Judging from the sky outside, not only will we have to rest in the cave tonight, but the search may be delayed tomorrow, and the snow will not stop for a while."
The little cook of the guerrilla squad and the maid of the knights are around the pot to show their skills, and the guerrilla squad members who smell the aroma of hot soup are accustomed to this.
The sky in Longji Snow Mountain is already unpredictable, and even the most experienced person cannot predict the weather conditions on the next day, otherwise there will not be so many travelers and adventurers missing every year, and their guerrilla teams do not need to be stationed on Longji Snow Mountain all year round.
"Miss Eula, this time the snowstorm came suddenly, and there wasn't much firewood to bring into the cave, so let me go out and find some."
The maid lady, who looked weak, stood up, the blanket wrapped around her body slipped down, revealing her white and delicate neck, and the greatsword of Zephyr at her side reflected the beating flames.
Eula decisively shook her head and vetoed: "The problem of firewood is not in a hurry, it can still be burned for two hours, and when I rest for a while, this matter still has to be sent to more experienced people." ”
Noelle hesitated and said, "But Eula has a very important task next, shouldn't she recuperate?" ”
"We don't know the exact location of the factory yet, it's still in the search stage, and the matter of recuperating can be put on hold for a while, besides, how can we pay attention to these things when fighting?"
Sitting down next to the little cook, the scorching white mist splashing on her face, Eula chuckled: "And don't care too much about the offspring of sinners, don't forget that I still remember a lot of accounts for you...... You should be able to eat it, right? Laubo shouted that he was hungry before, why hasn't he moved now? ”
"I guess I've fainted from hunger a long time ago."
A member of the guerrilla squad looked at the bulging blanket beside him, teasingly reached out and patted it, but the empty touch made his face change.
Lifting the blanket with great force, a stick holding the blanket fell down and rolled along the slightly sloping ground to the edge of the sealed hole.
The sudden change drowned out the sound of the wind and snow howling outside the cave, the crackling of burning wood in the campfire, and the gurgling of boiling hot soup and the sound of weapons unsheathed.
Jumping flames flashed from the sword, and a member of the guerrilla squad with a gun tentatively poked at the blanket to cover it, leaving a white mark on the hard rocky ground.
The other members groped for the nearby rock wall and the broken ceramic cans stacked in the corners.
"There are no secret passages."
"There is currently no mechanism found that can be twisted."
"The traces of the cave are very natural, and there is no part of the discord."
Knock some of the stones off the stacked together, allowing more icy air to pour into the cave, dissipating the warmth of the campfire and the scent that may have been there.
Eula raised her head solemnly and observed for a while, "Take out the rope and fireworks bombs, tie everyone's hands together, Laubo disappeared too bizarrely, this matter is not something that our common sense can explain." ”
"Hopefully, the magical Mr. Albedo will be able to see the fireworks and be able to explain the truth about Laubo's disappearance."
The members of the guerrilla squad who had already tied the rope muttered to themselves expectantly, took out the fireworks from their arms, and cautiously came to the location at the entrance of the cave.
Eula clenched the hilt of her sword, carefully observing the movements of her teammates, and a frost-white sword of light appeared on her side, and the terrifying power that made people palpitate converged on the blade.
The nervous breathing was muffled by all kinds of noisy sounds, and the moment the bonfire that provided the light source was extinguished, this tension was amplified to the limit.
Eula wrapped the rope around her wrist and took a thermostat from her bosom and smashed it on the ground.
The shattered exothermic bottle dispelled the howling cold, and brought a faint fiery red glow that allowed for a clear view of the cave.
"I lost two people this time." Eula's face was solemn.
She hadn't heard anything suspicious just now, and her team hadn't even made a sound before they vanished, so she could already rule out options like secret passages.
Make people disappear suddenly...... Not even Albedo can do that!
"Miss Eula, everyone, please keep your head down."
Noelle took a deep breath and clenched the sword in his hand, which was as light as a feather, and the reassuring rock elemental power wrapped around the whole body of the greatsword and extended out with it.
The sharp rock elemental greatsword was easily inserted into the rock wall under the action of great force, as if it was cutting ordinary tofu, and soon a lot of rubble was cut down.
"This time I'm going to set off fireworks."
Eula carried the "Pine Ring" behind her, took out a firework bomb and strode towards the mouth of the cave, grabbed the string and pulled it gently, and the fiery red and dazzling fireworks disappeared before her eyes.
The little cook swallowed silently, hid behind Noelle, and whispered, "Noelle, can you please put a shield on me?" It gives me a little sense of reassurance. ”
Think of her as a special cook for the guerrilla squad, what big scene has she not seen?
Whether it's the murderous Hilichurl Frost Armor King, or the abyss mage who speaks strange words, or the machine left behind by the ancient country that once lived in the snowy mountains.
She can be said to have been weathered for a long time, and she can't make her feel dangerous without a little stimulation.
But this kind of scene has never been seen before!
It's so weird that three people, plus one thing, disappear alive like this...... Perhaps even the miraculous Mr. Albedo could not explain the situation.
"The shield shouldn't be able to stop this, right?"
Noelle looked hesitant, the Vision of God on his waist flashed again, and he cooperated with the maid to mobilize the power of the rock element, and soon put a thick shield on the people present.
"The fireworks can't be released, and the mastermind behind it is an intelligent being, who is preventing us from asking for help."
The guerrilla squad is a team that wanders in dangerous areas all the year round, and when the Grand Master went out to fight in the jungle, he did not ruthlessly take all the team members away, leaving more elites than the other squads combined.
Compared to other teams, it can be said that they have been treated the best.
A certain cavalry captain, who not only had his elite members taken away, but also his own horses not survived, dropped two bombs from Alice at his home that night after Grand Master Falgar had decided on the list of expeditions.
Young and immature, Falgar graciously forgave the matter and gave Alice a confinement that she was accustomed to.
In addition to the reason why the restless witch provided the bomb, the main reason was that the empathetic Alice provided Falgar with a cup of soothing tea immediately after the explosion.
The ratio of tea to potions was just right enough to turn Falgar into a cat scared away by the explosion, and if the effect of the medicine was prolonged, Mondstadt's beloved Grand Master would have to spend a while in the Cattail Tavern.
It is precisely because the elite still exists that in the face of this unreasonable situation, the guerrilla squad has not lost its sense of proportion and calmness, and still maintains vigilance and readiness for battle.
He didn't make us all disappear at once, because he was incompetent, or was he trying to tease us? …… Eula grabbed the thick hemp rope with her backhand.
Whatever the situation, sitting back and waiting is the least advisable option, and now it is better to get the team out of the cave, even if there is a snowstorm outside, than to stay here.
The green tendons on the back of the white hand burst out, and they used all their strength to pull the hemp rope, and the team members faced this sudden pulling feeling, and when they understood the captain's plan, they quickly relaxed their calm next plate.
The one who bore the brunt of the frustration was aimed at the shoulders of his armor at the rocks.
The little chef lifted her toes and gently kicked Noelle's knee, causing her to lose control of the lower plate.
If the fireworks are blurred in the dim sky, Noelle is the one with the best chance of finding Mr. Albedo.
Teeth biting her lip, Eula condensed the cold frost and froze the hemp rope on her wrist in an attempt to make the team fly farther away, and her eyes caught a sudden glimpse of the handle of the pot peeking out of the snow outside the cave......
The feeling of falling quickly enveloped the whole body.
