Roy only felt that the iceberg around his body had become an endless abyss.

As the sea water around him gradually warmed, a pair of invisible hands lifted his body out of the sea, and at this moment, a strange and familiar voice called softly in his ear:

"Roy, Roy, wake up......"

He felt the warm sun shining on his face and the moment he opened his eyes.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the woods and landed on him, and two half-blood elf boys in leather coats and antler fur hats appeared in his sight, staring nervously at Roy, and when they saw Roy's eyelids shaking, they immediately cried out happily:

His eyes moved, moved...... He's alive, oh my god, I thought he was freezing to death, he's tenacious. ”

Kaka was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he kept venting his excitement to little Eugene.

"Please, I saw it! Again...... It's not as exaggerated as you say, okay? He was breathing all the time, his heart was hot, and his body was probably dormant in the extreme cold, like a bear wintering. Little Eugene calmly analyzed on the side.

"I know, I'm just a little excited, Roy, you're finally awake!" Kaka wiped the warm liquid from the corners of his eyes and said.

"Kaka, little Eugene, why are you? Where am I? ”

Roy remembers that when he passed out, he was still hanging from the magic handle......

At that time, Benjamin was on the north cliff of the Griffin Mountains, and wanted to climb the Griffin Mountains, but he didn't know if he succeeded...... It looks like they have succeeded, or they wouldn't have met Kaka and little Eugene, who wouldn't have easily made it north of the Griffon Mountains.

"I saw you unconscious on the top of the mountain, so I secretly rescued you from the two villains while they were asleep." Kaka said quickly.

Roy saw himself soaking in a warm pool, no wonder he had that strange feeling just now.

He tried to move his arms, and there were black and purple strangles on his wrists, and the joints of his body were very stiff, especially his knees, which could barely bend.

He barely leaned back, allowing himself to lie comfortably in the pool.

"It turned out that you saved me, I thought I was going to die this time! Thank you, Kaka, and thank you, little Eugene......"

"Say no thanks, we are friends, shouldn't friends help each other?" Kaka said happily.

He saw that Roy was conscious, but his body still needed to recover, so he recounted how they met Roy.

Roy then realized how unlucky Benjamin and Abt were, and that the Griffin Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of kilometers, happened to meet Kaka and Little Eugene.

It was probably the potion that Kaka gave Roy to drink, and Roy felt a pinprick-like sting all over his body, but at least he could move slowly.

It's a pity that he can't perform secondary healing on himself yet, so he can only soak in the pool water.

"What the hell is going on, who are those two scoundrels who grabbed you?" Kaka asked Roy.

He and little Eugene were sitting on the grass next to them, grinding a herb that was said to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis when applied to the body.

"Speaking of my grudges with both of them...... It's a bit of a long topic, anyway, they wanted to get a key from me, but I didn't want to give it to them, so they designed a trap and caught me. Roy said.

When Kaka heard Roy say this, he was angry and said, "They're really badass! ”

"The magician among them is a slave trader, and the other is an exiled murderer." Roy said, "I just hope it doesn't cause you guys......"

"It's okay, this time they are probably still freezing on the top of the mountain, since they are slave traders and murderers, then there is nothing to be pitied, let them stay at the top of the mountain for a while." Kaka said casually.

Kaka and little Eugene didn't bring Roy back to the village, they built a very simple cabin for Roy by the waterhole, and Roy soaked in the waterhole, which seemed to have some healing power, and Roy could feel a trace of life force constantly nourishing his body.

Hearing Kaka say that Benjamin and Abt were trapped in the mountains, Roy didn't ask what was going on.

When he woke up, he felt the pain of being pricked by countless needles, and his eyelids sank after saying a few casual words, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.

When Roy woke up again, it was already completely dark, and instead of continuing to soak in the pool, Roy could even smell the smell of tree oil emanating from his surroundings in a very small treehouse.

It was pitch black all around, and he reluctantly moved his hands to find that his arms were fine, so he barely sat up with his body propped up.

Roy tried to swing his arm and grasp it, and as a string of prayers was chanted, a holy light flowed from his fingers.

This time Roy had a strange feeling, he didn't even need to concentrate, and as the thought rose, the holy light naturally flowed from his fingertips......

It's like a virtuoso playing a piece that is smooth, natural, and even able to blend into one's own emotions.

'Low-light illumination'

A divine glimmer floated in front of him, and a faint light just illuminated the wooden house, which was very small, and because it had been built so hastily, there were no windows, only a very rudimentary door.

The whole hut was just big enough for one person to lie down, and it was built on a tree branch.

Roy tried to climb out, but found a ladder at the door of the cabin, and a pool of water not far from the cabin, reflecting a faint light.

Sitting at the door of the cabin, Roy performed a few 'secondary healings' before he felt better......

Roy examined his body up and down, and he was wearing only a thin, shabby linen suit.

The blanket that covers his body is probably also stolen from home by Kaka and Little Eugene.

Aside from this linen outfit, Roy had nothing else.

It wasn't long before Roy felt his stomach rumble.

He hadn't eaten a bite for a long time, and was about to walk down the hut to look around for something to eat, when suddenly he smelled the smell of fruit emanating from his surroundings, Roy followed the scent, turned his head to look at the corner, only to find that there were still some fruits piled up in the corner of the hut.

It seems that Kaka and little Eugene had prepared food for him before leaving.

Pick up an apple and take a few bites into your stomach.

The sweet juice flowed into my stomach, and I felt that all my bones were squeaking......

……

Roy then discovered that the Sacred Tree, which was completely integrated with his body, was constantly absorbing the particles of holy light around him, as if every time he breathed, he could let those particles of holy light be inhaled into his body.

So he sat at the door of the wooden house, constantly absorbing the particles of holy light around him, and did it for most of the night.

By the time Roy opened his eyes in good spirits, the sky had become cloudy.

This is obviously the jungle in the southern part of the Gryphon Mountains, there are almost no traces of elves in the woodland, and there are many small beasts in the jungle, most of them are not too afraid of elves, and when they saw Roy sitting at the door of the wooden house, they also probed their heads to observe the wooden house.

After a full night's rest, Roy had fully recovered.

He walked down the wooden ladder barefoot, the traces of the ropes on his ankles and wrists were completely gone, and the tingling sensation on his body was gone.

Turning around the four corners of the glade, to the north was the majestic Griffon Barrier Mountains......

Roy squatted on the edge of the waterhole and washed his face, and then moved a little in the glade, looking at the towering barrier mountain, Roy was a little worried, thinking about how to return to the barrier village, Instructor Nora must be in a hurry.

……

"Roy, are you alright?"

Kaka was carrying a lot of fruit, and he ran out of the woods quickly, looking at him with a look of surprise.

Roy stopped, turned to Kaka and said, "It's no big deal......"

Kaka put the fruit in his pocket into the cabin and said, "I thought you would live in this treehouse for a long time, and little Eugene and I wanted to decorate the treehouse, but now it looks like it's not necessary." ”

"This time I was brought here by those two guys from the foot of the North Mountain, and I don't know what the chaos will be like over there in the barrier village, Instructor Nora and they must be very anxious, can you send me back with a griffin?" Roy asked.

"Of course you can, but I can't cross the boundaries of the Barrier Mountains, at most I can only send you to the bottom of the cliff, and there may be a stretch of road that you need to walk on your own."

Kaka handed Roy a peeled fruit to Roy, picking it up and nibbling on it.

It's slightly sour, it's not sweet, and the aroma is special......

"Didn't you say last time, if you come here again, take a walk in the jungle in the southern part of the Barrier Mountains, and it's best to fly to the beach to have a look...... Now that you haven't shopped for anything, are you ready to go back? Kaka asked, staring at Roy.

"Well, not this time." Roy said.

"Oh well! When little Eugene arrives, we'll go...... It's too cold on the mountain, you can't wear such thin clothes, I'll help you get a blanket later. ”

Kaka readily agreed without even thinking about it.

It didn't take long for little Eugene to come over.

Kaka went and returned, bringing Roy a fur cloak and wrapping it around his body.

Kaka then summoned his griffon out, and he calmed the restless big guy.

Let Roy ride on the griffin's furry back, and Kaka rides on......

When both of them were ready, the griffon on the ground leapt into the sky, spread its wings and flapped violently a dozen times, and the griffon's huge body slowly flew out of the woods carrying Kaka and Roy, and kept gliding forward.

Each flap of the wings will fly straight ahead for dozens of meters......

The warm breeze blowing in Roy's face made Roy feel relaxed, and the jungle gradually became smaller, and Roy could clearly see its general outline.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of clouds in the sky in the morning, and when the griffon plunged into the clouds, Roy couldn't see the jungle below......

The griffin flew faster and faster in the air.

At high altitudes, it can also glide with air currents.

Little Eugene always silently followed behind Kaka.

After flying out for a long time, Kaka led Roy to the top of the cliff where he was found, there was a cliff, that is, a stone platform protruding from the mountain, which seemed to be only a few dozen square meters.

"Usually little Eugene and I will rest there, and it was there that I found them yesterday morning, I wanted to go and see the metal plate that was on fire, but I didn't expect to see you lying on the ground unconscious on the edge of the fire, and your whole body was frozen at that time......"

Kaka said to Roy.

At this moment, the griffon's four sharp claws were firmly grasped on a smooth cliff wall, and Kaka and Roy held the griffin tightly and peeked into the stone platform not far away.

The bonfire on the stone platform has been extinguished.

What Kaka and little Eugene didn't expect was just one day's work.

There was only one half-blood elf left on the stone cliff, the human magician had turned into a corpse at this time, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest, and the half-blood elf was holding a skinning knife, dismembering one of the magician's arms, the corpse had frozen hard, and the severed arm did not shed blood.

Kaka, Eugene Jr., and Roy, who were lurking beside the stone cliff, were all a little dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Benjamin to die in just one day.

"How did he die?"

"With this dagger in his chest, he shouldn't have died of cold and disease, right?"

"What the hell is that half-blood elf doing?"

Kaka's mouth kept muttering......

Although I know the answer, everyone just doesn't want to believe it.

"Can you help me catch him, I'm going to take him back and put him on trial in the Council of Elders' Inquisition......" Roy said to Kaka as he sat behind him, hugging the griffon's body tightly.

"Go ......"

Kaka shook the reins in his hand, and the griffin bounced off the cliff face, its wings spread as it slammed its body down, and then spun around in the sky before rising again.

After a brief spin in the air, Roy was already dizzy.

The griffin let out a terrible cry, folded its wings, and appeared with an iron shell.

'Iron Will'

Before Roy could react, the griffin slammed into the platform like a cannonball, shattering a large chunk of rock with the force of the impact.

Stone chips and ice were flying, and Abt was in the middle of the rubble, pushed directly against the wall by the huge impact, and actually fainted in the flying rocks.

Roy, riding on the back of a griffin, experienced the power of Iron Will and almost knocked the platform into a large crater.

Sure enough, under the protection of Iron Will, neither Kaka nor Roy was injured, and the griffin struggled to crawl out of the pit......

Kaka jumped off the griffon's back with Roy, braved the cold wind, stepped on the gravel, and walked quickly to Abt.

"This guy isn't dead...... Kaka said in surprise.

Roy didn't care how injured he was at this time, he directly tied up the bloodied Abt with the prepared rope, and took the opportunity to untie the two magic waist bags on his body and quickly tied them around his waist.

Roy found the magic rune board next to Benjamin's corpse, and he threw it to Kaka, reminding him:

"Every time this thing is turned on, it will constantly consume magic crystals, in fact, if you have firewood, it is more convenient to light a bonfire than this......"

Kaka took the rune board, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

At this time, Little Eugene's griffin also landed on the stone cliff.

Kaka and Roy carried the bloodied Abt onto the back of little Eugene's griffon.

Roy went to check Benjamin's body again, and he was supposed to have died by piercing the heart with a dagger, and his body was frozen hard......

"Let's go!"

Kaka and Roy ride a griffin together and fly to the top again.

Neither Kaka nor Little Eugene needed to deliberately avoid the griffins, because the griffons hovering over the clifftop vulture nest didn't bother with Kaka and Little Eugene at all.

After most of the day, the griffin finally flew to a pass at the top of the mountain, rested a little, and Kaka fed the griffin a bag of jerky, and then the griffin carried the two of them to the bottom of the cliff on the north side.

"We rarely fly here, because we are afraid of being discovered by the elves here, Roy, after you return to the Barrier Village, you must keep it a secret from us!"

As the griffin flew, Kaka spoke to Roy with great seriousness.

"Got it, Kaka, can we meet again?" Roy asked Kaka.

"Of course, I promised you that I would take you to see the fish-people of Sun Island." Kaka said cheerfully.

"And how can I find you?" Roy asked loudly.

"You go to the pass where we first met, and leave a letter to me where we met, I came to you when I saw the letter, and little Eugene and I have to go to the third pass every half a month to patrol, mainly responsible for cleaning up those black mace spiders." Kaka said to Roy.

It was night when the griffon flew Roy from the Barrier Mountains to the foot of the North Mountains.

At night, it is easy to discern the valley in which the village of the rampart is located, because only there will be light.

Because it was at night, Kaka rode a griffin to Roy near the temporary camp of the negotiating team, and threw Abt who had been tied into a dumpling to Roy, and the two did not take a break, and rode the griffin to leave at night.

Roy waited for Kaka and little Eugene to fly away, and then blessed himself with a 'blessing of strength', and then dragged Abt towards the negotiator's makeshift camp.

In fact, Abt had already woken up, but he had a rope tied to his mouth, and his hands and feet couldn't move, so he could only let Roy drag him all the way.

Roy also took off his shoes, and as he dragged them, his feet were bruising on the ground.

By the time he arrived at the negotiating team's makeshift camp, Abt's feet were already bloody and bloody.

Roy is spotted by Silver Pegasus Warriors patrolling the vicinity of the Negotiation Mission's makeshift camp, and is escorted to the Negotiation Mission's camp by two Silver Pegasus Warriors.

It was already midnight, and the elves in the camp were already asleep.

Roy returned to the makeshift tent of the Elven Academy Adventure Party, and several instructors had already received the message.

As soon as everyone came out of the tent, they saw Roy, who had lost a circle, standing in front of the campfire in disarray......
