Chapter 179: Entering and Encountering
After adjusting the "frost" ability, isolating the goose feather snow a few meters outside the body, and blocking it together with the biting cold wind, Angel rubbed his hands, crossed his hands on his chest, buckled his shoulders, reduced the surface area of his body, and warmed himself up.
It's a pity that Black Flame can't keep warm, otherwise it would have been much more comfortable now...... She thought to herself, a little depressed, and walked forward in the thick snow according to the direction she had just chosen with her divination.
After smearing the blood on the cover of "Grossell's Travels", Angel's eyes lit up, and she walked from the captain's cabin of the "Golden Dream" to this ice field, surrounded by heavy snow, extremely poor visibility, and the cold wind and blizzard made her body temperature drop rapidly, almost freezing.
Fortunately, as a witch, Angel was able to control the power of frost and use divination to find the right direction, so she didn't end up freezing to death in the snowfield.
"No wonder he wants to leave other people's blood for divination, but I don't...... You can only tell the direction of the crowd, which should be the position of 'Grossell' and his dragon slaying team......"
Muttering to herself, she took out the magic mirror from her thin clothes, adjusted her direction according to the divination, and continued to make her way through the white blizzard.
At the same time, Angel, who is experienced in combat, also sorted out her equipment and consumables, and to her surprise, almost all the items, including the "Rose Necklace" and "Hidden Emblem" with her, entered the "story" with her, which gave her the confidence to fight against the "King of the North".
Of course, whether or not you can beat that ice dragon depends on what sequence the other party is in, if it is a demigod...... Based on Angel's experience with either complete or mutilated demigods several times, I'm afraid that several more of her will have to try their luck with the "Calamity" charm.
"Speaking of the 'Calamity' Spell......"
Angel dug through every pocket, and even went back and revisited his own path, but did not find the two "Calamities" that had been made long ago and one spell made from the newly discovered runes on the island of Sona, and finally reluctantly came to a conclusion:
They were left out of Grossell's Travels.
Considering her memory as a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, Angel doesn't think it's because she forgot to carry an important spell when she changed her clothes, the only possibility is that when entering the "story", the travelogue denies the charms entry, and it doesn't even treat the hidden emblem and Anne's blood from the power of the angels as such.
"Either the power of the 'calamity' is even higher than them, or the charm has some kind of peculiarity that 'Grossell's Travels' does not dare, well, probably dare not let them in......"
Angel's thoughts inevitably diverged in the cold wind, and he soon came to a conclusion that surprised him a little.
……
After walking for half an hour, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and several times almost falling into a snow-buried cave, Angel finally came to a huge rock, the top of which was condensed with ice that had accumulated over the years, and there was a dark cavern below, in which a little fire came out.
Above the entrance of the cave, stood a black-armored warrior, his whole body armor was also covered with snowflakes, holding a black one-handed sword, like a door god.
Hearing the sound of the snow being trampled, the warrior turned his head to look this way, and Angel found that he had black hair and blue eyes, and his face had the characteristics of a Rune, although there was some confusion in his eyes, but it was majestic.
It's very similar to the "judge", or "arbitrator" approach, and the sequence is not low...... Because of what has been written in "Grossell's Travels", Angel immediately guessed the identity of the other party - the Rune soldier who followed "Grossell", and is also a "punishment knight" who gradually grows up in the story.
So, the Punishment Knight may be the sequence 5 of the "Arbiter"? If it's sequence 4, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand under pressure...... Angel thought about it, and took the initiative to lean forward, not sneakily hiding her figure.
"Stop, who are you?"
The black-armored knight asked aloud, not only to ask who was coming, but also to remind his teammates in the cave.
Sure enough, before Angel could answer, a huge figure squeezed out of the cavern below.
It is said to be squeezed out, because this person is nearly four meters tall, his skin is frosty gray-blue, he carries a two-meter-long giant sword, wears simple clothes and pants made of beast fur, and has a mouth, nose and ears similar to those of humans, but has a unique vertical single eye.
His height reminded Angel of the priest of Bakerland's "Harvest Chapel", but even the tall Father Fersak stood here and couldn't reach the giant's chest.
"You must be Grossell," Angel replied, bowing slightly, "I'm here to join your team and fight the 'King of the North'." ”
The black-armored punishment knight did not let his guard down because of this statement, his cold eyes were always fixed on Angel, but the giant Grossel showed a happy smile, opened his mouth, and chuckled:
"Our team is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like we will be able to solve the Yurisian ...... this time."
"Wait, Grossell, we can't confirm her identity yet."
The black-armored knight interrupted the giant, took a step forward, and asked:
"You're from Rune? How long have you been here? ”
Angel was a little surprised by the "get in here" question, she had thought that the characters were just part of the "script" before she met them, but according to the tone of the black-armored knight, they seemed to know that they were the characters in the book, and even ......
"Not long after I arrived, you guys, have you already seen Adevina?"
She quickly came up with a possibility and asked rhetorically.
"Look, Ronzel, I said she'll be a companion too," Grossell smiled, interrupted the inquiry, and turned back to the cavern and shouted, "Edwina, this person knows you!" ”
Sure enough, they should have gotten the information from Adevana, and even they themselves were "real people" who entered "Grossell's Travels" like Adevina and us!
Angel looked at the entrance of the cave and soon saw the familiar figure.
"Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina Edwards, wearing a shirt and dark trousers decorated with lace patterns, and no jacket like Angel, just walked out of the hole, shrunk her neck in the cold wind, and then looked at Angel with a happy look.
"Grossell, Dragonzel, she's my companion, the mighty adventurer, Angelica Thatch."
The pirate general seemed to be familiar with the giants, and a few words made the black-armored punishment knight Ronzel let his guard down, but he still looked at Angel from time to time, making the latter a little uncomfortable.
"Ronzel is also a native of Rune, he entered the travelogue 165 years ago, and he is very concerned about the current situation of Rune."
Approaching Angel, Adevina whispered.
"So, including Grossell, they all got into the book just as accidentally as you did? But if that's the case, then what was the name of this "Grossell's Travels" before Grossell's entry? ”
Watching the giant lead into the cave, a beautiful woman with black hair tied into a ponytail, soft facial features, and slightly pointed ears came out to take the place of Longzel, holding a curved bow and looking around vigilantly in the cold wind, Angel also followed Edvina towards the warm cave entrance.
"Her name is Shatath, the Elven Singer. I'm sure you'll see that she's an elf, not a half-blood, from a time ago, when the 'Lord of the Storm' hadn't ascended to the throne......"
"Adevana, I heard you talk about that false god."
Standing on a high place, the elven singer Shatas looked at this side with a cold gaze, and the hand holding the rudimentary hunting bow tightened, as if he would raise his hand and shoot an arrow at this direction at any moment.
The pirate general smiled apologetically, gave Angel a "you know" look, and went into the cavern.
Angel entered, and found that the naturally formed cavern beneath the rock was cleverly constructed to ventilate without allowing the wind to sweep through the hall, and in the spacious cavern, with a blazing bonfire burning, Grossell sat down beside the fire with heavy but nimble steps, and beside him two figures who were almost toddlers compared to him.
"Hey, I hear you, Adevina, you've got a new companion," sat across the campfire, looking at a middle-aged man with flaxen hair, wearing an asymmetrical but comical coat and black peaked hat, and took the initiative to say hello, "I'm Mobert Zoroaster, Sequence 5 of the 'Thief' pathway, 'Dream Stealer'." ”
"He came from the Solomonic Empire in the Quaternary Age, and he was a viscount at the time, and in addition, they would all take the initiative to introduce their own sequences, and I think it had something to do with the characteristics of the Travelogue."
As a "tour guide", Adevina took the initiative to take over the conversation and continued.
I see, she meant that I should not hide it either...... However, considering that I will most likely have to fight the "King of the North" in the future, I should indeed take the initiative to report my sequence...... Angel nodded knowingly and said:
"I'm Angelica Thatch, Adewina's companion, and of course, yours now...... I am Sequence 5 of the 'Assassin' pathway, the 'Pain' Witch. ”
From Mobet's somewhat changed expression and slightly open mouth, Angel could guess what the other party was thinking.
Fortunately, the gentleman of the Quaternary did not say it, but changed the subject without any flaws:
"Then do you have anything to do with the 'Tamara' family?"
Tamara, what's that...... Angel thought about it for a while before remembering this family, which was also from the Quaternary Age, but was only widely known during the Tudor Empire, shook his head, and said:
"I don't know them."
"Maybe, after all, thousands of years have passed outside, hehe."
Mobet didn't ask, but chuckled and looked at the figure by the last fire.
"Let me continue to introduce him, he is Snowman, a devout ascetic, who believes in the all-knowing and all-powerful, creator of everything, he usually speaks very little, and serves his Lord wholeheartedly, but when you fight, you can rest assured that you can give him your back."
Known as Snowman, he was a middle-aged man dressed in a plain white robe, with his eyes closed to the flames and prayer intently, with short hair and bare arms and legs covered in various old scars.
When Mobet introduced, he didn't look back, and he didn't hear it.
"Oh, it's okay, we're used to it," Mobet chuckled dryly, looking at the giant who had just sat down and put his hands out to the fire, "Grossell, you should have talked to him outside just now, as well as Ronzel, Shattas, and Edwina, who only joined us two days ago, and we learned more from her about what we were about to face. ”
After hearing this, Angel cast a puzzled gaze on the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" beside him, who leaned against the fire and said while warming his body:
"That's right, according to my analysis, the 'story' of this world will soon come to an end, either we all die at the hands of the 'King of the North', or we will defeat it and leave together."
