Even though it had been tightly wrapped in snowflakes, Alan could still clearly distinguish the silhouette of the figure, as the unique position of the head tilting slightly to the right was unique to Riel when he was running desperately.

But as soon as he took a step out of the cave, the snowflakes rolled towards him like crazy, and instantly wrapped his whole leg. Fortunately, Cynthia's eyes were quick and she grabbed him.

Although he wanted to rush over to save Riel, but being so frightened by the reaction of these snowflakes outside, Allen's mind was much clearer, at least not as impulsive as just now, and he realized that he couldn't get even half a step closer to Riel, so he had to yell at the figure again: "Riel!"

Riel seemed to be conscious, for after his slightly choked and desperate cry had passed, Eren saw his stiff arm move suddenly. But there was only this time, and no matter how Alan shouted, he didn't move again.

Tears began to roll in his eyes.

Eren wasn't a coward, but he wanted to cry at the thought that Riel's life might be at risk.

"Don't do stupid things. Seeing him standing at the mouth of the cave and giving up the idea of rushing out, Cynthia let go of her hand, "There is nothing else we can do but pray now." ”

"Let's go, we don't have time to be in a daze right now. Frey said as he walked inside, "If we move fast enough, maybe they'll all be saved...... If you really want to save him, find out who is hiding behind the scenes. ”

Hearing this, Alan gritted his teeth and held back his tears, slammed his fist on the rock wall, and followed in the footsteps of Cynthia and Frey.

Not only are the rock walls to their left and right and above uneven, but even the road leading to the depths of the mountain is unusually difficult to walk, and the ground is so potholed that it seems that there is no intention of serious construction. There was ice in some places, so they were moving slowly.

"These snowflakes seem to react to magic. Cynthia made her own hypothesis as she walked.

However, Alan didn't have the energy to listen to her analyze this now, and all he could think about was Riel's safety and who was behind it.

"What do you mean?" asked Alan softly out of politeness.

"Didn't you notice, only the four of us have the most snowflakes on him, and he freezes up the fastest. Cynthia explained, "I think it's probably because these snowflakes give preference to people with high magical powers. ”

"What do you want to say?" Alan looked at her.

"I would say that if it weren't for him, we might have been the ones who froze. ”

Eren then realized that Cynthia might be trying to comfort him.

"I won't let him suffer in vain...... I'm going to find out who caused this riot and bring them to justice!" Alan said, picking up his pace again.

"It's good that you can have that belief. Cynthia smiled lightly, then returned to her serious look: "But my instincts tell me that the person who set this trap probably already knew that someone was here. ”

When Alan heard Cynthia say this, he couldn't help but feel a little more vigilant in his heart.

"I've seen similar magic in books, mixing magic into the elements of nature to detect other people's movements. Cynthia explained, "Rain, dirt, breeze, you can ...... So I guess one of these snowflakes is to monitor for intruders...... And the reaction of these snowflakes may be the response of the caster. ”

"You mean, he's on this right now?" asked Allen.

"That's right, and it's probably not far from us. Cynthia looked rather cautious.

By this time, Frey, who was walking in the front, had stopped.

Alan saw from a distance that a wide column of steps appeared directly in front of Frey, straight up, with the appearance of twenty steps, but because these steps were relatively high and the slope was steep, they could not see the situation above. In addition, the ground in the vicinity is becoming more and more frozen, and in many places it is in the shape of flowers.

"You two wait here for me for a while, I want to go up and see how it goes. To confirm the safety of the road ahead, Frey suggested.

"Then I'll come with you. Allen said. He was now desperate to get Rare out.

"No, it's just me going alone. Frey shook his head, "As Cynthia said, the prisoner probably knows we're in by now, and it's extremely dangerous, and it's enough for one person to take that risk...... If it's safe up there, I'll knock on the ground three times to signal you, and if you don't see me within ten minutes, then get out of here. ”

"Okay......" Alan reluctantly agreed.

"Then be careful yourself. Cynthia nodded. After all, Frey was a level above them and had learned more than them, so Cynthia didn't seem very worried.

Frey made a little preparation and climbed up. Cynthia and Alan sat on the steps waiting for news from him, and took a break by the way.

However, to Allen's surprise, not long after Frey left, his signal came from above.

"Knock knock!" came to their ears a little dull but very clear, and they didn't know what kind of magic was used. However, it is not surprising to think that he is a high-achieving student of the earth element department.

The two of them immediately stood up, turned around and prepared to walk upward.

But before Alan could lift his feet, he caught a glimpse of a glittering object lying in the corner of the cave to his right, its shape and light looking familiar......

"This is ......" Allen was shocked, his mind fluctuated violently, and his brain was a little unable to think.

He recognized the square shape and the faint blue-purple light as the magic book that had mysteriously appeared on the night of the middle of the moon last month but its whereabouts were unknown!

"My book!" Cynthia had apparently seen it too, and with a small cry, she walked briskly over there.

Alan also hurried to follow.

The book was less than ten paces away from them, and was now lying behind a raised rock, perhaps because the light of the magic lamp reflected by the ice crystals here was too dazzling, so he didn't notice it in the first place.

Of course, he never expected to find it here......

Cynthia carefully picked it up as if she had found it, and her face showed a rare excitement.

"How did it get here?" Cynthia said as she wiped the cover, her face full of incredulity, "I knew it was going to find me again sooner or later!"

But compared to excitement, Allen's heart is more apprehensive now. For not only did old Adrian and the strange immortal tree elf say it was a bad omen, but now that it had suddenly appeared here at such a juncture, Allen's instincts told him that it might not be a good sign.

"Is there really something big going on?" Alan couldn't help but think.

What's even stranger is that Frey was the first to get here, and he looked around for a while, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Thinking about what Alyssa had told him about the book when it went missing, Fray approached it, and Alan couldn't help but wonder again: "Could it be that he really took the book and now accidentally fell out?"

But he looked at the place where the book had fallen, and when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, if it had accidentally fallen from Frey, how could it have fallen so far away from the position he had just been?

"Did he leave it here on purpose?" Alan thought again.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, because if Frey wanted to lose the book, he had a chance before, so why should he leave it here at this time?

Alan was puzzled.

He wanted to suggest that Cynthia put him away for the time being, but before he could speak, Cynthia couldn't wait to open it.

But when she opened it, she was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Alan asked, noticing the change in her expression.

I saw that Cynthia didn't say anything, just turned several pages in a row with a little impatience, and then looked at Alan in a daze: "There's nothing on it......"

"What?" Alan was stunned when he heard this, and took the book.

"Is there really something big going on?" Alan couldn't help but think.

What's even stranger is that Frey was the first to get here, and he looked around for a while, but he didn't seem to notice it.
