On the endless snowfield, the people of the Red-robed Brotherhood pulled a black curve, winding forward.

On a rare sunny day in the snowy region, the sight is full of white.

Two or three miles away, a figure followed them not far away.

Lance changed into a snow-white outfit and walked lightly.

It was stolen to him by Ellie from the warehouse of the Red Robe Brotherhood. In terms of size, it is inevitable that it will not fit well, but in such an environment, he has to wear it, after all, white is the best camouflage color.

He held a thin piece of parchment in his hand, most of the images on the parchment were blank, except for two dots, one red and one black, flickering. Between the red and black dots, they are connected by a zigzag line.

The black dot represents Lance's own orientation, while the red dot is Ellie.

"The spell locator, it's still pretty easy to use. Lance walked without hurrying. His physical fitness far surpassed that of the mages of the Red Robe Brotherhood, so he could easily hang far behind them.

This spell locator is one of the more popular communication instruments in Ferrendor, and it is more accurate and distant than the witchcraft wheel. The only downside is that the spell locator works in one direction, which means that Lance can easily locate Ellie's location based on the parchment, while the latter doesn't know where Lance is.

Leaving the large army of the Red Robe Brotherhood to act alone is something that Lance could not want.

It is safe and secure to be in the Red Robe Brotherhood all the time, but it is difficult to have a chance to make a move.

And Ellie's plan. It was already very obvious to Lance. The woman's fanatical desire for the crystal dragon made Lance have no doubt that she would use all means to snatch it from the hands of the red-robed brotherhood—

Of course, it could also be the corpse of a crystal dragon!

"I remember it very well...... Ellie's advanced direction is a blood mage. Lance's eyes sparkled with thought.

His mind was very clear, and although Ellie Jie didn't show it, the woman's purpose had been vaguely guessed by Lance.

What exactly does a crystal dragon do?

It's worth a lot of money, for sure, but no matter who it is, even if it's a dragon expert, I'm afraid it's hard to explain it for a while.

According to the information at Lance's disposal, although the Croatian Crystal Dragon is not a type of dragon, it has the pure blood of dragons. Has a natural ability to comprehend dragon spells. If you cultivate it well. will be a very reliable helper and partner.

It sounds like everyone is aiming for the goal of keeping the Crystal Dragon as a pet. But this is not the case.

Because everyone in this operation can't sign a pet contract with the Croatian crystal dragon. The specific reason is also very simple, the dragon spell level of the crystal dragon is level two, and whether it is a person from the Red Robe Brotherhood. Or Ellie herself. Their spell levels are all level one. The spell levels of the two are not evenly matched. Unable to meet the basic requirements for a pet contract.

The only possible exception is Wesley, the Forbidden Spell Mage.

Forbidden Spell Mages are a very rare advanced classification, even rarer than the Magnetic Storm Mages that Lance had learned. throughout the Crimson Castle. Except for Wesley, no one has succeeded in advancing to a forbidden spell mage. Therefore, the abilities and characteristics of this mage profession are also unusually mysterious.

In the Puppet City, Lance saw Wesley use the Spell Scroll to unleash a second-tier spell over the ranks. Does this mean that this guy can also sign a deal with the crystal dragon with the spell contract scroll?

This question is more profound, unless it is a wizard who specializes in contract knowledge, it is really difficult for ordinary people to answer.

Lance himself, too, is difficult to determine. So in his opinion, the purpose of the people of the Red Robe Brotherhood is still a fog and not very clear. But Ellie's mind has been revealed.

She couldn't sign a pet contract with the crystal dragon, and she was so interested in the crystal dragon, so the only possibility was ......

"This woman is such a madman, she actually wants to put a dragon heart on herself......" Lance smiled silently, and quickened his pace slightly.

As we all know, blood spells can put a lot of load on the internal organs of the body, especially the heart, and powerful blood mages often find ways to improve the strength and toughness of their hearts before they advance. And Ellie, a crazy woman, seems to be ready to take this enhancement even more extremely!

She should want to change herself to the heart of a crystal dragon!

In this way, her strength will undoubtedly become very terrifying. With the dragon's heart as a backing, all the blood spell side effects were a drop in the bucket for her. Once she succeeds, she has a good chance of becoming one of the toughest of the Crimson Castle Blood Mages.

......

"The people of the Red Robe Brotherhood must be preparing to capture the Crystal Dragon alive. After all, although there are many blood mages among them, most of them are not as crazy as Ellie, and they should have another purpose in capturing the crystal dragon. Thinking that they seem to be preparing to build a permanent base in the Ace Snow Domain, coupled with the relationship with the Rambo Union...... Do they want to form a new force?"

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but have a headache. Ellie's thoughts, he can guess very well, after all, he has a lot of contact, and Lance's experience in his previous life has also helped a lot. He is very good at observing words and feelings. However, the motives and plans of the Red Robe Brotherhood are relatively confused. This is also an obstacle that Alyselle deliberately creates for Lance.

The sky was getting darker, and the sky in the distance was covered with a thin layer of fog - a precursor to the arrival of wind and snow.

He looked down at the Perception Locator, and was surprised to find that the speed of the Red Robe Brotherhood's progress had not slowed down, but had begun to speed up.

"What's going on? Shouldn't they have found a place to camp right away?

Lance couldn't help but quicken his pace.

However, it didn't take long for him to stop his progress.

Because a simple camp appeared in front of him!

If it weren't for Lance's super vision, he would be able to spot the other party in advance. A few steps further on, I'm afraid I'm going to be seen by the people in the camp.

Obviously, these are all members of the Red Robe Brotherhood.

"I'm really careful. Lance squinted, keeping an eye on what's ahead. At the same time, he looked down at the parchment.

On the spell locator, the people of the Red-robed Brotherhood seemed to turn a corner and began to walk east.

On the left and right, there are endless mountain ranges, and the road between the mountains is quite open, but it is not easy to walk past the camp. Even if Lance has a sub-chip chameleon.

Because he saw that the wizards in that camp were in every corner of the road. They all spilled something called [Screaming Mushroom]. This screaming mushroom does nothing else. It's a good warning.

If a creature passes by them, they will let out a terrifying scream. Lance looked at it for a while, and knew that Lu Dao wanted to sneak through, but it was probably out of luck.

The intentions of the Red Robe Brotherhood are very obvious. It's a road closure. If Lance breaks through. It may startle the snake.

The only thing he can do now. It's a detour.

Lance's brow furrowed, and he clenched the spell locator in his hand.

The Red Robe Brotherhood had moved up noticeably faster, if he hadn't followed. I'm afraid it's going to be out of the spell locator soon.

He looked up at the mountains on both sides, and on his right, on the icebergs in the east, strange huge ice towered halfway up the mountain.

And between the huge blocks of ice, there is a winding path.

"Climbing over this snow-capped mountain, taking a shortcut seems to be the only option. ”

Although Lance had a bad premonition in his heart, he still chose to act immediately. He left the flat snowfield and walked briskly to the snow-capped mountains in the east.

......

There are often no roads on snow-capped mountains, and the snow-paved ground may not be solid, and large holes may appear underneath.

So the road is far less than the previous plains.

Fortunately, after Lance turned on the swift wind, not only did he improve his agility, but he also lost about a third of his weight. In this way, as long as he is careful, he can barely speed up the snowy mountains quickly.

Half an hour later, he rushed halfway up the mountain.

There is a trail here, and at the end of the path is a canyon, and according to Hawkeye's feedback, once you pass through that canyon, you should be able to climb to the other side of the mountain.

When the time comes, you'll be able to keep up with the speed of the Red Robe Brotherhood.

He was speeding through the snow, flanked by huge blocks of ice towering over each other.

The ice cubes are not transparent, but have a deep blue tinge. To Lance's confusion, the ice cubes were all neatly extended, apparently artificially cut into rectangular pieces.

According to Lance's estimates, only about a third of the ice was exposed, and two-thirds should have been buried under the snow.

"What the hell are these?" If Lance wasn't in a hurry, Lance would probably stop and study it.

In the center of each block of ice, there is a dark shadow.

When night falls, those shadows look especially terrifying.

The sound of fierce wind came from the valley in the distance, but to Lance's ears, it was like a ghost crying wolf, and under this cold atmosphere, it became especially terrifying.

Rao is that he has experienced all kinds of strange things in the puppet city, and when he sees this scene in front of him, he can't help but be a little stunned.

"No matter, I'm just passing by anyway, it's important to hurry. ”

He tugged at his collar and muttered to himself, subconsciously speeding up his pace.

......

It's getting darker. Lance was still walking in the snow. To his displeasure, the size and number of these giant ices continued to grow along the way.

In the beginning, there were only huge blocks of ice on both sides of the path. Lance can continue along the middle path smoothly.

Later, the path began to get narrower. Every now and then, ice cubes appear between the roads.

For this he had to choose a detour. However, the number of those ice cubes seemed to be getting more and more as they went around. It was as if he had gotten into a strange circle, and the more he dodged, the easier it was to hit the ice head-on.

The snow wind whimpered, and the sky and the earth were cold. Time passed little by little, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.

Lance was startled, he stood still, looked in all directions, only to find that he had been surrounded by huge blocks of ice since the beginning of the road.

In front of and behind him, it was pitch black.

"What's going on?" he felt his mind get foggy.

What's even more frightening is that with the fading of the sun, the shadows in these huge ice cubes actually began to become clear.

Lance's eyes widened.

At this time, he finally saw those strange shadows in the center of the ice cube, which turned out to be a corpse curled up in a ball!

......

As night fell, a fire flashed in a sheltered recess.

Suddenly, a terrifying scream came from the mountains in the distance. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Around the campfire, Zink and Ellie sat next to each other. Hearing this voice, Zink suddenly showed a strange smile and said to Ellie:

"I've heard a long time ago that there is an ancient legend circulating in the Ace Snow Region, I don't know if you're interested. ”

Ellie smiled reluctantly, without words.

Zink stood up, looked at the tall, icy snow-capped mountain, and said to himself:

"The place where this legend took place is called the [Corpse Demon Ice Palace] ......" (to be continued......
