Chapter 33: The Maiden's Will

"This is the third level, which tests your indomitable will." Fischl's ethereal voice appeared in everyone's ears again, "Climb over this snowy mountain and you will reach the border between life and death." ”

Oz said: "In this level, Miss gives grace, and those who can't hold on can choose to quit. ”

"What a joke." Yuta breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the mountain in front of him that was covered by wind and snow, "It's all here, how can you choose to quit." ”

"But here's a sneeze." Fennel, who was only wearing pajamas, rubbed her little nose with her fingers, "It's colder than sleeping in the refrigerator." ”

"Uh, senior sister, you don't need such a strange analogy." Yuta suddenly thought, 'If it's this senpai, maybe she really fell asleep in the refrigerator?' ’

"If I knew there was this level, I would have worn more clothes." Sen Xia zipped up her sportswear, even though she was still not far from the snowy mountain, she still felt a wave of cold air coming, "Don't pay attention to keeping warm, without the help of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, this level will definitely die." ”

"Hehehe~ It's just a cold snap, under the power of the Thunder Warhammer, it's not worth a sneeze!" Sanae sneezed, and the tip of her nose was reddish due to excessive inhalation of cold air.

Liuhua's eyes were firm, she didn't speak to everyone, and took the first step towards the snow mountain.

On the way, Yuta checked the contents of his backpack from time to time and said, "We have already spent two days of supplies, which means that we have to climb over the snowy mountains in one day." ”

Sen Xia looked up at the snow-capped mountains close at hand, and the cold wind made her shrink her neck, muttering, "This is obviously impossible." Isn't it, Senpai? ”

"Huh?" Fennel, who was trembling as she walked, turned her head stiffly, "I really haven't tried to sleep on a snowy mountain, but it's definitely not as comfortable sleeping at home." ”

"Is it still time to think about going to bed?" Sen Xia was speechless, "Sleeping here will kill people, senior sister, if you can't hold on, you must quit in time." ”

"It's okay." Fennel sniffed hard, "I'll always walk behind everyone, don't worry about me." ”

When everyone crossed the broken bridge and officially stepped into the territory belonging to the snow-capped mountains, everyone who was blinded by the wind and snow only knew that they shrank their heads and moved their limbs stiffly, and in just three or five minutes, Yuta felt that their brains could no longer think calmly.

'It's cold, it's cold. Why should I suffer this sin, isn't it good to play games from the comfort of my home? You have to pursue something mysterious and extraordinary. ’

'This secret realm seems to have been created by Her Royal Highness the Empress for Xiao Bird's classmates, and even if we finish it too, we may not be able to gain extraordinary power. ’

'Why don't you go back?' ’

Once the idea was born, it took root in Yuta's heart, and he just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he vaguely saw a camp in front of him.

"Who are you?" The tall and sturdy man who was as strong as a wall held a sledgehammer and looked vigilantly at Liuhua and the others who had passed through the wind and snow and came to the camp.

'He's at least three or four meters tall, right?' Mori Xia, who was secretly observing, was frightened and looked at the fire in the camp.

"Please, excuse me, you—Have you seen this person?" The cold wind poured into Liuhua's clothes, and she was already thinly dressed, and she shivered when she spoke, gritted her teeth and took out the photo frame, which was extremely cold, making her fingers almost unconscious.

The man with the giant hammer glanced at it casually, "No, you guys should go back quickly, there are often people who are lost in the snowy mountains, and it is better to leave the matter of looking for them to professional adventurers." ”

"Can we, can we make a fire? Just take a break. Yuta raised his hand and looked at the man with a humble smile.

The thunder hammer swept over the group of teenagers and girls, and after making sure that this group of people in strange costumes was not threatening, he hesitated, "Okay, after the body is warm, we must leave quickly." ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Yuta thanked him, and led the group to a small fire near the tent by the giant hammer, where the flames dispelled the cold, and everyone only felt a little warmer on their bodies.

"Big brother," Yuta continued, "Do you know how to climb over the snowy mountains?" ”

"What do you call me?" Thunderhammer asked.

"Big brother." Yuta's scalp was numb, he had never seen someone so strong and so tall in reality.

"Haha~ Don't worry, it's just that no one calls me 'big brother' for a long time." Lei Hammer glanced at the thin clothes on everyone's bodies, shook his head and said, "There are many hidden secrets in the snowy mountains, and you can't pass through the snowy mountains with your equipment.

Go back, you can save your life if you go back, if you want to find someone, you might as well go to the city-state to earn more money, give it to the Adventurer's Guild, and let the adventurer help you find it. ”

"Then big brother, are you an adventurer?" Senxia asked.

"I'm from Solstice and I'm currently stationed in the snowy mountains." Lei Hammer said: "Don't ask more, if you ask again, you will be arrested as a spy." ”

Senxia stopped talking, she was blind to this mysterious world, so let's follow the army honestly.

"It's pretty much it." Lei Hammer got up, pointed at Fennel and said, "Look, your companions are almost asleep, hurry back, don't want to explore in the snowy mountains." ”

"Thank you, but we have something to do." Rokka stood up and bowed, and Sanae made the same motion.

Sen Xia woke up Fennel and said softly, "Senior sister, can you still go?" ”

"Huh? Are you going to get started again? Fennel struggled to get up, there was tiredness on her pretty face that was difficult to hide, and the high-intensity walking of two days made her little feet wear only slippers grind a lot of blood blisters, and every step she took, there was a pain in her heart.

Fortunately, the ice and snow stiffened her limbs, so that she had the courage to walk again.

"I'm still going to warn you." Lei Hammer said: "It won't take long for her feet to be covered with chilblains, and the situation of the few of you will be similar at that time, once you go into the depths of the snowy mountains, you will definitely die." ”

Liuhua and the others looked at Fennel, and Fennel, who was holding the lamb's pillow, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I will always walk behind everyone, and I also want to meet Liuhua-chan's father." ”

Everyone said goodbye to the thunder hammer and returned to the wind and snow again.

After walking for a while, Yuta only felt that his limbs were stiff again, his steps became heavier and heavier, and the backpack he was carrying was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"I knew I was looking for that big brother to ask for a map!" Yuta looked at the wind and snow ahead, and they couldn't even see the road in the distance except for the path under their feet.

"You want him? I'll be mistaken for a spy! Among the group, Senxia's physique is the best one, and the sportswear is tightly attached to the body, but the cold still keeps invading.

"Whew~Whew~" With every step, Sanae's exhaled breath would instantly drift with the wind and snow, all her joints were frozen red, and she could still feel the stinging pain of ice and snow at first, but now she felt hot all over her body.

That's not a good situation. Sanae thought as she looked at Rokuka, who was at the forefront of the wind and snow.

The petite girl, who was only a little taller than herself, was walking tirelessly like a robot with stiff steps.

"I, my lord~" As soon as Sanae opened her mouth, she felt the cold wind pouring into her mouth, and her throat hurt as if it had been cut by a knife.

"The power of thunder and thunder cannot take effect, my journey. Probably, that's the end of it. Sanae said in a trembling voice.

Rokka turned around with difficulty, and the thin figure supported in the wind and snow gave Sanae a great shock.

"Thank you Sanae, if you can't hold on, just call Her Royal Highness."

Sanae tried to see through the wind and snow, and Liuhua's body was already red, her hair and eyelashes were already covered in ice and snow, and her brain had obviously given the wrong instructions to her body.

'No, no, I have to follow her!' Otherwise, she might have died! Sanae cheered up and continued to follow Rokka silently.

After everyone held out for half an hour, they finally came to an abandoned adventurer's camp.

It is backed by a mountain rock, which is temporarily isolated from wind and snow.

Faced with the wet and cold pyre that was extinguished, Liuhua tried to drill wood to make a fire, but her fingers were frozen stiff, and she couldn't complete even the simplest action.

The crowd squatting behind the tent trembled, and Fennel lay trembling in the corner, her head resting on the lamb's pillow, her lips were white, and she said in a trembling voice: "No, don't scream, wake me up." ”

"Hey! Feed! Senxia moved his position with difficulty and slapped fennel awake with his hand, "If you want to sleep, go back to sleep!" You're really going to die of sleep here! ”

"That, that" Fennel wanted to hand the lamb pillow to Liuhua, but it fell directly to the ground, and stiffly put down the backpack, "I, I have to go back, big, everyone." ”

"Let's go back." Sen Xia glanced at fennel, this senior sister had already lost her slippers, and there were dried blood stains on some places on her feet, I really don't know how the other party persevered until now.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, I, I give up." Fennel's teeth chatter as she spoke.

Suddenly, a light fell from the sky and enveloped fennel.

Before everyone could come to their senses, the fennel was gone.

"Senior sister is back." Yuta's heart was moved, although he hadn't reached his limit yet, but it wasn't too much, and this feeling of extreme cold was destroying his will all the time.

Mori Natsu and Sanae nestled in the corner and remained silent, slowing down their body's heat consumption as much as possible.

Liuhua opened the backpack, and the mineral water inside had already frozen into ice cubes, and there were not many materials left such as chocolate.

"Let's eat what my senior sister left first." Mori Xia suggested that he take the backpack of fennel, pick up the lamb pillow that fell on the ground, and throw it to Liuhua.

After eating the cold, hard chocolate and compressed biscuits, Rokka self-assessed her condition.

We can't wait where we are, we can't make a fire, there's no hope of waiting here. ’

Thinking about it, Rokka threw away the spear and reduced the weight of the backpack as much as possible.

"My lord, do you want to continue?" Sanae rubbed her stiff arm back and forth.

"I'm going to find him." Rokka stood up.

Yuta and Mori Xia glanced at each other and stood up.

The crowd once again stepped into the snow.

This time the operation was more difficult than the last time, and in a trance, Yuta seemed to see his grandmother, who had been dead for a long time.

“Ya!”

In the wind and snow, Yuta, who heard the familiar voice, shuddered suddenly, and before the word "run" could be spoken, the arrow containing the ice element pierced through his chest!

Yuta lay down in the snow, and he heard the roars of Rokuka, Mori Natsu, and Sanae, and blood gushed down the arrows, quickly covering a small patch of snow.

'Why do you think I'm here to suffer this sin?' Yuta thought, 'In order to be able to harness extraordinary power?' I can do the same in the game. ’

'So there's no point in me coming this time?' ’

'No, no, I at least helped Birdie's classmates. Well, it's more or less helpful, and being able to find the dead in the mysterious world, super cool, well, I've also completed some achievements in the game! ’

Thinking about it, Yuta's consciousness became more and more drowsy, and it was not until he was wrapped in warmth that he suddenly got up!

In the magnificent palace, Her Royal Highness the Empress was looking down at the giant crystal ball in front of her, and in that crystal ball, the picture of the secret realm of the trial belonging to Xiao Niaoyou's classmates was reflected.

"Huh? How am I? Am I alright? Yuta touched his chest, there were no wounds except for the sportswear that had been penetrated, and not far from him, there was Masaka-sana who was asleep.

"Be quiet," Oz said, "Miss's consciousness is still swimming in the secret realm." ”

Yuta quickly closed his mouth, and after a while, Sanae and Mori Xia, who were covered in blood and fell into a coma, were also teleported, and Oz stuffed two dishes of magical dishes into their mouths, and the wounds on their bodies disappeared instantly.

Yuta cautiously looked at the figure standing in front of the giant crystal ball and thought, "Her Royal Highness still takes good care of us, it's Birdyu-san."

His gaze looked into the crystal ball, and he vaguely saw Xiao Yuyou, a classmate hiding in another abandoned camp.

Liuhua's injuries were very light, and she only rubbed off some skin, but except for the photo frame in her hand, other materials had already been discarded in a panic.

Yuta sees her find a flint and steel in this abandoned camp, and with Rokuka's continuous efforts, the pyre finally ignites.

Hungry and exhausted, Liuhua slowly fell asleep, still holding the photo frame she regarded as a treasure.

The next day, the sky was bright, the wind and snow did not stop at all, and the six flowers extinguished the fire and marched towards the land of dreams again.

Compared to yesterday, Liuhua, who had not eaten, was in worse condition, her hands clenched the picture frame, and she only knew that she was numb to move forward, as for why she was walking in the wind and snow, her brain had long since stopped thinking about these things.

Her body is getting hotter and hotter, the wind and snow have stopped, and Liuhua has climbed to the mountainside, here, she looks at the sun on the horizon, the sunlight penetrates the clouds, and the river in the distance reflects the golden light.

"Daddy!" Liuhua hugged the frame, closed her eyes, and curled up tightly.

"Hmm!" Sen Xia and the others, who were secretly observing the secret realm, exclaimed, and suddenly, they saw that Her Royal Highness the Empress stretched out her hand and waved lightly, and the snow on the snowy mountain in the secret realm turned into a big hand, firmly catching the six flowers in it.

"Is it Daddy?" Liuhua, who was already confused in her mind, struggled to get up, with a heartfelt smile on her pretty face.

Fischl shook his head, he couldn't get Liuhua to gain the Vision in three levels in a row, isn't it. Do you really have to let her meet her 'father' in order to make Liuhua's obsession attract the side eyes of the gods?
