When you see a portal, you think of Mizkatok? Looks like he knows a lot about the academy too? Knowing the ability of the space department is the hallmark of the college.

Lloyd wrote down this detail in his mind, and said casually:

"You should know that Mizkatok's school rules are quite special, so it's not convenient for me to say it directly."

"Of course, I know that you have strict rules that cannot be revealed at will, so it seems very mysterious to the outside world...... Since you're from Mizkatok, it's no wonder you're so good at such a young age, so I'm confident in this operation. ”

Little Olga said as she followed Lloyd into the portal and to the half of the commissary.

The old shelves inside, the old goods on the shelves, and all kinds of scattered miscellaneous items, Lloyd cleaned them all up this morning, stuffed them into a corner of the storage bag, and didn't throw them away for the time being, but they were of little value, and he planned to participate in archaeological activities again when he wanted to 'put them back in their place'.

So there is only a corner of the empty room here, with no furniture and facilities, only two chairs, which will inevitably be a little shabby.

But little Olga looked left and right at the empty 'rescue pod' like a curious baby, as if it was the first time to enter this kind of alien space area, savoring the mystery and wonder in it.

Lloyd didn't care, so he said:

"Alright, it's time to go, it's expected to arrive in three hours."

With that, he guided the 'rescue capsule' to float towards the spatial coordinates of Blizzard Villa, and at the same time released his projection, wrapping the 'rescue capsule' outside, and then boosted it like an oar, speeding up the drift.

As a result, little Olga suddenly had a strong discomfort reaction, quickly covered his head, and said dizzily:

"My friend...... How do I feel...... Like the world spinning? This...... I ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he fainted on the spot.

You're too inferior, aren't you? Fainted just after setting off?

Lloyd was also a little helpless, thinking that if he was drifting in the space close to the present world, the dizziness should not be so strong, right?

Sure enough, this simple 'rescue cabin' is not as stable as the professional equipment of the space elevator?

Of course, it's also possible that this guy's own spatial adaptability and sense of direction are too poor?

Lloyd had planned to chat with little Olga about the knowledge and experience of the [Manifestation] system during the trip, but the sailor fainted as soon as he drove the boat......

Lloyd had no choice but to dig out a tome book from his storage bag and read it by himself.

The time to study always passed quickly, and Lloyd felt that it didn't take long for the 'survival pod' to shake slightly, reminding him that he had arrived at the station.

As the space re-stabilized, little Olga didn't need Lloyd to call, he woke up leisurely, and then covered his head with both hands, and said weakly:

"My friend...... It was truly a trip of a lifetime...... If there is a chance to ...... in the future I'd still prefer to take an airship......"

Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry, waited for him to slow down for a while, and then helped him to his feet, and then the two of them passed through the portal and came to a border town under the snowy mountains, ready to inquire about the information first.

Lloyd didn't straighten up and guide the 'survival pod' to the top of Blizzard Villa, what if something happened?

He has always been patient and cautious and cautious young people, never being the kind of brainless and reckless, and before every action, he will do divination.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the portal, they felt that the air around them suddenly dropped to freezing, and snowflakes began to fly in the air.

The town in front of you fits all the stereotypes of a 'snowy mountain town', full of wooden huts squeezed with thick snow, through the windows you can see the fire dancing inside, wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, very peaceful and peaceful.

The snow under your feet is up to your ankles, but there are a lot of messy footprints left, indicating that this town is not as quiet as it seems on the surface, but it is actually quite lively? Seems to welcome a lot of travelers?

Shouldn't they all come to claim the inheritance?

A narrow mountain road winds its way up the other side of the town to the location of Blizzard Lodge, and Lloyd looks up in that direction to see a majestic silhouette of a building, looming in the wind and snow.

At the same time, he also affirmed his previous judgment in his heart, the space there was indeed a problem, showing a very obvious instability, just like a snowy landscape painting, there was an obvious crack.

Although there are still a few hours of mountain roads between this border town and Blizzard Mountain Villa in terms of physical distance, they are actually very close in terms of spatial dimension, so Lloyd's observation and judgment will definitely not be wrong.

If left unchecked, the 'crack' may remain in its original state, or it may disappear on its own under the influence of the surrounding space, but it is also more likely to intensify and expand.

What will happen after the expansion, but no one can say for sure......

It seems that this trip is really the right one, at least the risk of 'a thousand miles of embankment collapse in an anthill' can be ruled out.

Lloyd sighed in his heart.

As for how the phenomenon of spatial instability is connected to the 'uncle's legacy', it will have to be further explored.

Lloyd pondered for a while, and was suddenly blown by the cold wind, and he also felt a little cold, so he hurriedly summoned the [Projection] to his side, wrapped himself, and isolated the cold air, so that it warmed up.

Seeing this, little Olga on the side couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise:

"[Projection]? You're actually involved in the [Manifestation] department? ”

"yes, that's convenient, right?"

Lloyd smiled.

"This ...... But [projection] shouldn't be used like this, right? ”

Little Olga said quite implicitly.

In fact, what he really wants to say is that you are simply messing around!

The [projection] route and the [story] route actually have a common logic, that is, the more subtle, complete and realistic it is, the more powerful it is.

Therefore, the transcendent of the [projection] route needs to repeatedly polish, repair, and complete the [projection] in their own [thinking field], and strive to achieve excellence and perfection.

It has to be cultivated with spiritual power all the time, so that it can be kept in the best condition, and it will only be released when it is really needed.

Like Lloyd, who uses a completely unformed ball of [projection] like dough, is simply a layman among laymen.

actually used [projection] to keep warm, so that little Olga didn't know how to complain for a while.

He wanted to release his inspiration to check the quality and condition of Lloyd's [projection], but he held back—

This kind of spying is a very sensitive and taboo thing in the circle of the [embodiment] system, which is tantamount to peeping at other people's hole cards, which will directly cause conflicts and contradictions, and it cannot be messed with.

Although Lloyd may not understand these ways, little Olga's moral standards are still online, and he doesn't want to lose this very promising new friend.

And Lloyd obviously didn't understand these 'unspoken rules of the industry', and still asked suspiciously:

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with that? ”

"This ...... My friend, how did you accomplish Enlightenment? ”

"Forgot ...... It seems like it came naturally, right? ”

"That means that you have completed [Enlightenment] naturally, which proves that you have a very high talent on the [Manifestation] side, but you have not studied it systematically...... When the matter in front of us is over, let's have a good talk, shall we? ”

Little Olga definitely didn't want to teach Lloyd common sense in the ice and snow, so he could only change his mouth and propose.

"Good, good! That's it! ”

Lloyd nodded repeatedly.

So little Olga took out a pair of special gloves and put them on, and a circle of flame-like lines could be seen in the palm of his hand, and after wearing it, he seemed to be able to resist the cold around him, and his body was also exuding bursts of warmth, and asked kindly:

"If you don't have winter gear, I've got more here."

Lloyd hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, just use [projection], it's quite comfortable, like soaking in hot water."

Olga Jr.: "............"

The two of them walked into the ice town, quickly found the hotel in the town, pushed the door and walked in.

It's much warmer and more lively inside than outside, many people are making noise, and some people are blushing and thick-necked, as if they are urging something, and not many people notice that there are two weirdos who only wear casual suits in the winter.

Little Olga ran straight to the bar, took out a few bills, and began to inquire about the news.

Lloyd stood aside, probing the past one by one.

Most of the dozens of people here are ordinary people, men, women, and children of all ages, and everyone's face is not very kind, revealing obvious greed and urgency, and several of them are obviously 'mixed on the road', and there is an obvious coldness and ferocity in their eyes.

It seems that everyone has an 'uncle' who is about to die, and this uncle is really a 'nephew' all the time, so why don't you change your name to Chen Rui?

However, Lloyd still found some transcendentals, there are legal systems and forbidden systems, but the ranks are not high, basically 2-3 ranks, and the highest is two fourth-order, so the strongest person on the bright side of the field is the little Olga of the fifth order.

The five of them, based on Lloyd's twenty years of experience as investigators learned from others, recognized them as 'peers' at a glance, and they were the first to notice Lloyd and Olga Jr.

And immediately began to act, one leaned over there to make contact with little Olga, and the other walked over to Lloyd, and asked in a low voice:

"You're here to investigate this anomalous event, too?"

Lloyd didn't shy away from it either, and nodded.

"Also for that bounty?"

The other party asked again, a little more wary in his tone.

"Bounty? I don't know, we're from the City of Lights, just curious. ”

"I see, that's fine, good luck."

The investigator who had accosted him didn't say anything more, went back to his table, and whispered something to his companion.

Lloyd didn't hear it, and it seemed that they had soundproofing equipment with them, and they were very well prepared, and they were obviously prepared.

At this moment, little Olga came over with two hot drinks in his hand, and sat down with Lloyd at a table in the corner, then took out a tuning fork the size of a palm, and tapped it lightly on the table, so that the others could not hear their conversation.

"It's said to be a specialty drink here, and it smells okay, like milk juice cereal with some low-alcohol wine, try it."

Little Olga handed Lloyd a drink, took a sip of it, and nodded.

"It tastes good, but the alcohol content is a little high, so be careful not to drink too much."

He then shared with Lloyd what he had learned.

"In the last two months, the hotel has received many, many more visitors than we expected, and the number continues to grow, as it is today, and the rooms are so full that the whole town is rich."

Little Olga said, a sneer of disdain on the corner of her mouth, and continued:

"So the bartender just told me that Blizzard Villa is real, and he used to go up to play when he was a child, and there lived in it a kind and kind old man, who would bring out exquisite sweets to entertain him every time."

Lloyd nodded with a serious face, indicating that he understood the meaning.

Obviously, whether the inheritance is real or not, the people of this town must be making a lot of money, and they certainly want more people to come and look for it.

As for whether those people can come back after they go, naturally no one cares.

The hearts of these people are colder than the weather outside......

"The bartender also said that the next trail was not easy to follow, and suggested that I must hire the best guide and have sufficient supplies."

Little Olga continued.

"Isn't it cheap?"

"Yes, it's about 20 times the market price, but even so, there are still a lot of people who are paying in an endless stream......"

"After all, compared to that inheritance, this little expense can only be regarded as a tip."

"Look at the table in the north corner, it's the guide who has made an appointment, but the other party uses the excuse that the weather is bad and the price is up, so the two sides are at an impasse."

Little Olga said, glancing back and raising her chin.

There were five people at the table he mentioned, but only one of them was holding a local, and he kept theorizing, and the remaining four people had secretly clenched their weapons in their hands, and their faces were all fierce, looking like they were going to burst out and kill at any time.

The local who was caught by them seemed to be finally frightened, and hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, and then said that he would leave immediately.

So the gang got their outfits in order and left the tavern with a scolding scold.

And at the table next to them, there were a few 'people on the road', who immediately tidied up their outfits and followed the footsteps of the group in front.

Lloyd felt that the target of this second group was probably not a legacy at all, but the team in front of him......

"Can this still form some kind of industrial chain? It's said that no one can get out of Blizzard Heights, but I think it's more because very few people make it there, right? ”

Lloyd asked helplessly.

"Yes, so the situation here is more complicated than we expected, and it's gradually evolving into that kind of extralegal place."

Little Olga said, spreading her hands, and she was also helpless.

"It's all like this, won't the Order still make a move?"

"It's difficult, I just learned more, this town is more remote than it looks on the map, and the climate is harsh, and it is located in the middle of the two cities, whether it is the way up or down, it is very difficult to walk......

Therefore, neither the City of Order nor the Eternal City are willing to invest a small amount of manpower here, and they must be more inclined to explore the other side. ”

Little Olga said, smiled again, and forcibly found a 'good news':

"But on the bright side, this place is like this, who will it be?"

His words are very reasonable, the temptation of that letter is not very strong, ordinary people can easily get rid of it, coupled with the time limit that is not generous, as well as the harsh natural and social environment here, the people who can still reach the Blizzard Mountain Villa will definitely not be pure people.

Basically, only the truly greedy and murderous outlaws can pass through this layer of screening and see the 'uncle's legacy'.

If this kind of person really can't come back, it's a good thing......

"But the more that's the case, the more we're going to have to go up and have a look."

Lloyd whispered again.

Little Olga nodded vigorously.

"Yes, my friend, you want to go with me again, if these people did not die in that Blizzard Villa, but gained some kind of power in it, the consequences may be even more unimaginable."

"But it's not just us who noticed the hidden dangers here, you see a few investigator-like guys over there, who just came over and asked me if they were here for a reward."

Lloyd said, looking at the investigator next to him.

The other party seemed to feel his gaze, and at the same time looked over, and smiled politely, but he didn't feel the slightest sincerity.

"They saw us as competitors."

Lloyd said, turning his head.

"I had a brief encounter with one of them earlier, but he didn't mention the bounty, only that they were from the City of Order......"

Little Olga said, and asked very suspiciously:

"But you can recognize them as the Investigative Mission? I thought they came from some illegal association. ”

"I have a holy relic that can provide me with a little bit of [Intellectual] ability, and the table in the corner on the right hand behind you is from an illegal association."

Lloyd explained casually, and then looked at the transcendent at the other table, all five of whom were from the [Pain] system.

The gang had been secretly watching Lloyd from the beginning.
