Chapter 158: North of the Snow Mountain
Bai Lianzhou is not a master of using crossbows, but he saw the predecessors of the Spirit Clan use it when he was a child.
He carefully pondered what Little Sissel had just said, and recalled the movements of those sorcerers, and stretched out his right hand to swipe on the crossbow.
Sou!
A sharp arrow of air burst through the air.
Immediately after, his left arm holding the sharp arrow shook suddenly!
The moment the wind arrow pierced into the puppet's body, it made a not-so-crisp "click", densely forming a silver-white net, which shattered on its body surface.
Bai Lianzhou and Little Sissel looked at each other, stunned at the translucent crystal that was neither ice nor water.
"No, come again. ”
Whoosh!
Three more arrows, the effect is the same as before.
"Hey, that's not right. The boy muttered, "What the hell is this?"
Little Sissel shook his head and said, "Let's do it again." ”
......
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
I don't know how many times the boy persistently tried again, how many times he said "come again", but he didn't come up with a reason.
Looking at the "white ripple boat" that was poked all over the holes, Little Sissel sighed lightly:
"Don't try it, there has never been a necromancer on our continent who can mix the two elements, I just said casually, don't take it too seriously. ”
In winter, the temperature is low, but Bai Lianzhou has a layer of sweat on his forehead. His bare hands were already red from the cold, but he still didn't stop saying:
"No, Mr. Sissel. I can definitely do it!"
Little Sissel took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Don't be foolish." ”
"No, no, no, listen to me, I have strong feelings, but my current spiritual power circuit is incomplete, and my spiritual power is only a quarter of the original, so it is difficult to grasp the timing. ”
"Young man, are you from another world?"
"Another world, what is another world?" Bai Lianzhou asked.
Little Sissel said, "Where did you live before?"
"The ...... of Sanneburg, the capital of Virginia"
"Oh, you're still a child of the royal capital. ”
"It's not...... A small town east of Thornburg...... of a small village. The young man hesitated and answered truthfully.
Little Sissel sighed awkwardly and continued: "North, north of your country, have you ever been there?"
"No, aren't they all snow-capped mountains over there? It's cold and windy, and no one ever goes to that kind of ghost place. Bai Lianzhou thought about it for a moment and said:
"Oh, but there are special storm messengers over there, and they like to stay in places with blizzards. Most of the postmen in the north of the continent are doing it now, and they send everything from furniture and cabinets to gift letters. As long as there was wind, it only took them a day to cross the continent from west to east. ”
"Pretty fast. Little Sissel nodded and asked, "What if there's no wind?"
"Probably won't be so unlucky, ......right?" Bai Lianzhou snapped his fingers and thought for a while, and replied: "If there is no wind, or if there is a headwind, it is estimated to be similar to a normal messenger, and there is nothing special about it." ”
"Mr. Sissel, has your mercenary group been to Campbell's Snow Mountain?"
"Well, there's a squad that's been there. Little Sissel nodded.
"The north is so desolate, and there are treasures, so amazing!"
"It's not a treasure, it's a bounty order that seems simple, but it's actually very difficult, and strange. Little Sissel flicked the ashes of his cigarette and muttered, "The content of that bounty order is to let them cross the Campbell Snow Mountain in the far north, but there is no mention of what it will look like after the crossing, what treasures they will bring back to their employers, or what people or spirit animals will be killed over there." ”
"Just climbing the mountain, just climbing the mountain, one of my father's soldiers thought it was fun and took it, without thinking about the consequences. ”
"Campbell Mountain ......"
Bai Lianzhou muttered. He knew the name.
Campbell Snow Mountain is the northernmost mountain in the Fantasy Capital Continent, and it is also the highest mountain in the whole continent, and the final point of the Virginia Imperial Snow Mountain Range. "Campbell" means "eye of the storm" in the old Virginian language.
"Yes, that employer probably wants to know what it's like north of Mt. Campbell. Sissel Jr. said.
Bai Lianzhou immediately frowned and asked, "Mr. Sissel, this employer is so strange...... What is his identity, he actually wants to spy on the world north of the continent...... Is he looking for treasure hunting, or is he ......"
"We mercenaries never inquire deeply about the identity of our employers, we just give money. Little Sissel let out a long sigh, "I regret it a little, I should have asked where this man came from." ”
"How is this possible? In the tens of thousands of years of history on the mainland, no one has ever dared to challenge the world's highest peak, and no one has ever climbed to the top. ”
"No, just because there is no record of this in your country's history, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Little Sissel continued solemnly: "There were eight people in that team, and only three came back alive, two died on the way, two were lost, and one ......."
"Crawled through?"
"Well, he saw another world. ”
"It's not...... Mr. Sissel, you don't fool people. Bai Lianzhou looked disdainful.
"Do I need to make up a story to fool you?"
"That's so strange, if he had climbed over, he would have planted a flag on it, written 'so-and-so came here for a visit', and then came back to write a book and give a speech on the whole continent!"
Little Sissel smoked a cigarette and was melancholy for a while before saying, "I really didn't lie to you, he was my friend, and he didn't come back at all." ”
"Hmm......" Bai Lianzhou was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"His name is Gilbert, and he's a doctor who used to heal the wounds of our mercenary soldiers. That time he went to Campbell Snow Mountain, he also served as a medical soldier in battle, but he didn't expect that he was the only one who succeeded. ”
"What does the world look like on the other side of the snowy mountains?"
"It's another continent, it's a big area, and the people there have completely different living habits from ours, and the clothes they wear are very complicated, and men like to have long hair, one by one, ...... longer than girls' hair."
Bai Lianzhou was stunned and asked, "Why do men have long hair?"
Little Sissel said uncertainly: "Let's live the customs, just like we hold a torch festival every winter in the Gerry Empire." ”
"Strange, how come I've never heard of it......" Bai Lianzhou muttered, and asked again, "Then what elements are they? Logically speaking, they should also be wind elements......
"I don't know, but ......" Little Sissel stopped talking, snorting at the end of his cigarette, which quickly burned out, and poked the end of his cigarette on the ground again.
Bai Lianzhou urged: "But what? We have even seen the inscriptions left by the attributeless ones, what else can't we say?" "Their names are very similar to yours, it's weird. ”
Little Sissel saw that Bai Lianzhou's face turned pale, and explained:
"You people in the Water Empire don't like surnames, like Rin Night, Gwendrin or who, these are all individual names, and we Fire Empire people like to put the surname behind, such as me, Jensen Sissel, Sissel is the surname, and Jensen is the first name. And you ......"
"Bai, it's a surname, right? Lianzhou is a name. This is very unruly, and it is not a custom of the Virginian Empire. ”
"That's right...... Mr. Sissel, I've been ridiculed a lot. Bai Lianzhou picked at his fingernails and said indignantly: "They all call me Xiaobai, it sounds like a dog name." ”
"Hahaha, it's okay, you're an astrological emissary now, and no one dares to laugh at you. ”
Little Sissel laughed happily and said: "The people in that world are the same as you, they all put the single-word surname in the front, and the first name is one word, or two words in the back, such as ......"
"Well, it's weird that I can't come out. ”
Bai Lianzhou stared at Jensen Sissel for a while, and lowered his head a little bewildered.
He doesn't know why, only his name is Bai Lianzhou, and even his biological sister is usually just called "Lianyue" and "Lianyue", and basically doesn't call her surname.
Is it really from that world? What a.
"Mr. Sissel, can the people of that world mix the four elements together?"
"Oh, don't take it seriously, I just happened to remember. Little Sissel hurriedly stopped him and continued: "You can try, but don't take it seriously." And even if you succeed, it doesn't prove that you're the one north of Campbell's Snow Mountain. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who loves more seriously. Bai Lianzhou patted his buttocks and stood up, re-set up the sharp arrow on his wrist, and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Sissel, I'll try again one last time, don't move, this is the last time!"
The boy's last words were almost shouted.
He took two sharp steps back, his right hand pulling the crossbow string again, his fingers quickly plucking the string a few times.
Bang bang!
There was a dense burst of fire, and four or five ice arrows grazed the tip of Little Sissel's nose and shot at the puppet not far away.
It was not difficult to see that this shot used all of his spiritual power.
Before the ice arrow pierced into the puppet's body, there was a continuous "buzzing" sound in the air, and the arrow turned into a writhing air current, and suddenly disappeared into mid-air.
The next moment!
When Sissel looked in that direction again, the golem's back was bleeding profusely, and the wind arrow had pierced through the other end of the body.
The momentum was unabated, and with a "tuk" sound, it poked straight into the trunk of a big tree outside the yard.
"It seems that the ice arrow has changed into a wind arrow, and it has succeeded...... Sissel said, looking into the distance.
In a trance, he seemed to see a familiar shadow, standing silently behind a tree.
He froze.
Could it be the woman......
Seeing his solemn face, Bai Lianzhou hurriedly looked in that direction.
Immediately after, he was also stunned.
It was a figure he knew all too well.
After all, he has lived with his bloody Fang Gang, young and restless self for half a year, and just now he was thinking about it, that sexy stunner from the Virginia Empire-
The guardian goddess Aoi Del.
