Snowconley, the northernmost city on the continent of Hepp, is the only large city in the north, and the rest are just small villages.

"Do you understand why it's called the 'Snow City'?" said Ashley Hill with a smile as he opened a transparent barrier to ward off the wind and snow, "It snows all year round, and there is no other season except winter and snow. The first thing people who live here do when they get up every day is to clear the snow from the roofs and in front of their doors, otherwise the snow could collapse their roofs within three days. ”

"Unbelievable...... I've only seen an introduction to this place in a book...... "Alan also opened an enchantment in his way, and then slowly opened his mouth, "I didn't expect that there were really people living in such a place, and such a large city was built......"

Although it was not yet dawn, Alan could still see the city in the distance through the snowlight...... This is really a "snow city", not only on the city walls, but also on the buildings inside are covered with a thick layer of snow, although it is impossible to estimate how thick it is due to the distance, but you can guess just by looking at the waist-deep snow on both sides of the road...... Although the city is not very large and not as grand as Krishari, it is no less shocking than when they first met Krishari......

"Then we'll take our leave. After looking at it for a moment, Alan said, "Your Majesty, please go back, the environment here is really a bit bad." ”

"I really don't like cold places very much, so I hardly come here. "But before we go, there's something for you." ”

Ashley Hill motioned for Alan to raise his hand, then removed the saber from his waist.

"The 'Declaration of Victory'...... It was a congratulatory gift from Intiana when I returned to my homeland and ascended to the throne, and I have been with me for many years......" Ashley Hill said slowly as he stroked the scabbard, "It may be a bit heavy for you, but it will definitely help you in a crucial moment." ”

"How can this work!" Alan couldn't help but be taken aback, and waved his hand repeatedly, "This is too valuable!

"Take it. Ashley Hill didn't allow him to refuse, and directly stuffed the sword into his hand, and then pulled out a little bit and introduced: "The two sides of this sword are carved with the incantations of 'Dream Gate' and 'Heaven Gate'...... When you need to use the Dragon Scale Lock, you just need to silently say 'Respond to my summons' in your mind, and when you want to go to a familiar place, you can use it to split a space-time tunnel and recall the general appearance of that place as you go. ”

Seeing Ashley Hill's sincere and resolute attitude, Alan finally reluctantly held the sword in his hand.

"There is another function of the 'Dream Gate', which you must have discovered, and that is to protect you from all external harm. "Because the spell is engraved on the mana carrier, the spell is always active, and even if you don't realize it, it can help you avoid it." That's exactly what you need in the future. ”

"This is indeed a very special and useful magic. Allen said.

"Oh, by the way, as long as you have the dragon scale lock, you can command the dragons at any time. They are loyal to me, but when they see this sword, they see me as if they see me. "As for Gates of the Dead, I don't think I need to teach you, and I hope that as few people will use it, the better...... And it's dormant for the time being, and it may not be used until much later, so if you need my help then, you only need a few taps of the scabbard and I'll hear you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Alan hurriedly thanked, "I will definitely take good care of this sword!"

"Hmm. Well, I wish you all the best!" Ashley Hill nodded at them and waved goodbye, "I'll have a good wine in my garden ready for your triumphant return!"

With that, he turned around and burrowed back into the space-time tunnel.

He ...... That's a generous......" After staring at the place where Ashley Hill had disappeared for a long time, Riel sighed, "Although it may seem arrogant and arrogant at times, it is reasonable at times...... Well...... At least not a door-picker. ”

"There is no doubt that he is a great king!" said Allen, "I am the greatest king I have ever met!

At this point, their story with Ashley Hill is coming to an end.

As Ashley Hill said, the snow here doesn't mean to stop at all. Although the wind weakened as the sky gradually brightened, the snowflakes were still falling in clusters as before.

Although the city was probably only a few kilometers away, they didn't dare to rush into it, because if nothing else, the city should have been plastered with notices that wanted them. So after a brief discussion, they decided to take a long detour to a nearby village to ask for help.

They had traveled some distance and entered a path to the northwest, from which they wanted to bypass the city of Snoconley and head north. But after walking a short distance, they realized that this did not seem to be a good choice...... The snow on the main road had been trampled on, and although it was a little slippery, it was not too difficult to walk, but the snow on this road looked thick but was actually very fluffy, and their legs would sink into it with every step, and every time they pulled their legs out of the snow pit, it would take almost all their strength, not to mention that they had to hold up the barrier barrier to resist the wind and snow......

So within a few moments, several people were already exhausted and paralyzed in the snow.

"How, what to do...... I think, let's, let's take a risk and get into the city......" Even Rare, who has the best physical strength, began to gasp for breath, and was actually tired and sweating profusely in this weather, "It's better than being tired or freezing to death here." ”

"What about Arthur...... We can hide when we go into the city, but the werewolves already know that it is with us, and if they find it, they will know that we are in the city too......" said Allen, "and if it is left out of the city in this weather, it will starve." ”

"That'...... Why don't you let it take us to the village first, and then come back to pick them up?" Riel said again.

Alan was silent when he heard this advice...... This is a viable option, but there are also risks. In this snow-covered environment, they can easily get separated, and if the village is far away, it may be difficult to return the way they came.

"What to do......" Alan was also a little hesitant.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from directly in front of them, and a huge black shadow was rapidly approaching them......

"Whew, whew!" The sound sounded like a trumpet, but it was short and powerful, a bit like someone with a cold wiping his nose.

"What's ......" Alan was stunned, squinting his eyes trying to see clearly.

However, Riel seemed to have seen what it was, and immediately jumped up from the snow in fright, and couldn't finish his words: "Mom, Mom! This, this is ...... What monster!?"
