The dark lake is so deep, even if you just take a look, inexplicable fear will surge into your heart. In the wind, there seems to be the sound of giant objects lapping the water from the depths of the lake, but if you look carefully, you can see nothing.
Less than.
Shade fiddled with the bonfire with the long branch in his hand, thought for a while, and took out a ring from his pocket:
"[Epidemic Doctor Ring] can be immune to some special diseases. Wear it, it may be useful later. The way to use it is to rotate the ring counterclockwise. There is no need to refuse, my physical fitness is probably stronger than yours."
Naturally, Iluna did not refuse. After accepting the ring, she asked Shade if she still wore her Holy Emblem of the Sun brooch. After receiving a confirmed answer, she talked with him about the topic of the Evergreen Leaf.
Snowflakes fell from the black sky, swaying in the wind and falling on their shoulders. From time to time, dull sounds came from the swamp, followed by low, high-pitched screams, but no one knew where they came from. The dark
The lake reflected the light of the fire, swaying and slapping against the shore. The swaying revealed the figures of the girl and the stranger by the bonfire.
Even though she would be forced to face a difficult battle next, Iluna still thought that she would remember this moment and this brief moment of rest when she and Shade sat by the campfire by the dark lake deep in the swamp.
Compared with the four people on the dead beach in the autumn, this time, it was only her and Shade.
Twenty minutes was not long, and Shade kept paying attention to the time. When the time was about to pass through the late night of Wednesday and reach the early morning of Thursday, he stopped talking to Iluna about the special rules for the chosen ones about "wisdom and knowledge"
During the discussion, he took out the time key that only had one chance to use from his arms:
"I won't save it for use in battle."
"Okay, I wonder if the witch from the past can help you."
Iluna held her chin with her right hand and looked at Shade's side face illuminated by the firelight, but found that Shade had a very melancholy expression at this time:
"If I could see her reach the top of the mountains, I think she would be able to help me."
He dug out the relics and special items that he could not bring to the past and temporarily placed them on the ground. He then pulled out the door-shaped pendant from his chest. Snowflakes fell on it and melted because of Shade's body temperature:
"See you in three seconds, Iluna."
Shade temporarily handed over [Night Watch] to Iluna, who took the sword:
"See you in three seconds."
Shade inserted the wooden key into the keyhole of the door and watched as the "huge" wooden key was "sucked" in by the small keyhole like the eye of a needle:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
The small door was opened, and the white mist inside the door wrapped around Shade. When the white mist dissipated, Iluna could only see the small door falling to the ground.
"one."
She looked at Shade's original position and counted silently in her mind. The bonfire was dancing in the wind, and a large shadow covered Shade's position. Suddenly she heard a strange laughter coming from her ears. The laughter was so full of laughter.
It was so tempting that Iluna's originally calm heart suddenly became restless.
"two."
She heard the sound of water, and it was like the sound of human hands stirring up the water. The sound was very close, and the long sword in her hand almost immediately lit up with a silver light that almost illuminated the dark night.
Iluna immediately raised her sword and turned to look at the dark lake not far away. As she stood up, using the light of the sword in her hand and the reflection of the lake, she saw a beautiful woman's head emerging from the water on the dark lake.
Thump~
She almost heard her heart beating at this moment. Iluna could not describe how beautiful that face was. Even though the light was dim at the moment, the face was still as charming as under the only light on the stage.
It's just that something beautiful seems to be abnormal.
"three.
The rune "My heart is clear, my sword slays demons" has been lit up, and the girl holding the long sword high is walking towards the lake, as if she wants to split the dark lake surface with the silver long sword.
Shade is coming back.
(Little Mia is running...)
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Winter 903 of the Fifth Epoch, Northern Continent, Silver Mountains.]
[Event: Lost in the Snow Mountain.]
【Duration is forty minutes (3/3).】
【You have obtained additional information.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you.]
[The test given to you by the ancient god of time will continue.]
[Assist the god ‘Winter Maiden’ to escort the lost people to the top of the mountain. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy - Light of Confinement, Curse - Flying Flower Curse. 】
Taking a step forward in the vast white mist, Shade fell directly into the snow.
"That's it again."
Shade, who was wrapped tightly, complained that although it was still very cold here, it surprisingly didn't feel too cold this time, probably because the lakeside of the Pantanal Lake was not a very warm place to begin with.
Shade, who was already familiar with this strange snow mountain, took a bite of snow, then climbed out of the snow layer and looked around. He looked at the highest peak of the snow mountain under the colorful black sky, as if it was right in front of him.
"oh!"
It can even be said that the current position is just below the last snow slope of the highest peak. During Shade's departure, Miss Chloe and her group moved at an astonishing speed.
"The scenery at the top of the mountain is probably different from that in the snow-capped mountains."
He whispered in his heart, then curled up and looked at the vast white surroundings, the smoke in his breath dissipating with the strong wind.
He is also familiar with this kind of white environment. After all, the Everglades is like this too. However, the mental pollution and snowstorms in the Everglades are far less severe than here.
The body was wrapped in heavy clothes, and his eyes scanned the surroundings through the gaps in his hat, cloak and scarf. Under the colorful black sky, the snowflakes shone with silver light, and except for the sound of the wind, it seemed that there was nothing here.
"Where did they choose their camp this time?"
Looking around on the spot, I decided to go to higher ground first:
"Or maybe it's still the god who's waiting for me this time?"
He braved the wind and snow and climbed up hard. This time he was not walking on the ridge, but actually climbing the mountain. Shade did not forget that what he really wanted to do was not to climb to the top, but to find the Witch and her group. He kept turning around
Watch and ask "she" if she sees any signs.
Obviously, after walking for less than ten minutes in the first two times, he saw quite conspicuous signs or lights, but this time Shade quickened his pace and failed to see Miss Chloe and his group when the tenth minute arrived.
"Forty minutes and half an hour left."
So he quickened his pace and walked down from the high place, and finally almost climbed back to the original height. This time, Shade chose to search downwards, and then not far below the place where he appeared, he saw almost
A dilapidated camp covered by snow.
There was no campfire, and there was even less light and warmth. The expensive tent that Shade brought and sponsored by Miss Carina was almost one-third destroyed by the snowstorm. After Shade pushed aside the snow covering the tent, he squeezed in
While going there, I saw Miss Chloe, Mrs. Marquez and the unknown man huddled in a dark corner of the tent. The three people closed their eyes tightly, and even their eyelashes were covered with frost:
"What happened?"
He held Miss Chloe's hand nervously. The short Miss Witch huddled in the blanket, her hands as cold as ice cubes. After testing her breathing with no results, Shade put his hand on her neck.
.
【Still alive.】
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and went to check on the other two people, but their conditions were not much better. Mrs. Marquez's face turned blue, and the man whose name Shade still didn't know was leaning forward with his eyes closed.
On the tent, life has almost come to an end.
"Miss Chloe~Miss Chloe!"
Picking up the short lady again, Shade tried to shout a few times, but the silver-haired and red-eyed witch didn't respond at all. Her body temperature was extremely low, and when Shade held her in his arms, it felt like he was holding her in his arms.
A large ice cube.
There were still traces of the campfire in the center of the tent, so Shade lit the campfire again, using his own mental power to make the flames surge. But the fire did not bring any warmth, nor did it return the three people here to normal. They
Although they are all still alive, no one can react to Shade's arrival.
[This area is very special, you cannot use flames to affect the temperature of the area. 】
I tried shouting a few more times, but there was still no response. This symptom is somewhat similar to that of a ring warlock who shrinks his own mental power after suffering a huge mental blow, forcing himself to fall into a semi-coma state. In other words, this is a similar phenomenon.
The body's self-protection mechanism in a vegetative state prevents immediate loss of control.
This also means that shortly before Shade appeared, they encountered another enemy that would have a major impact on their emotions and spirit.
"The enemies they encountered were all of this type that affected the mind."
This also further supports Xia De's guess about the current situation.
He didn't have much time to stay here, and he thought he didn't have the ability to carry, drag, and drag three people up to the distant peak. So he carefully walked out of the tent with Miss Chloe in his arms and stood barefoot.
Looking into the distance in the snow:
"God! Are you still there? Your believers need help."
The three people in the tent all claim to be followers of the winter god [Winter Maiden].
In order to prevent another avalanche, Shade did not dare to be too loud, but the sound still echoed under the empty sky. However, the gods did not respond to this. Helpless, he could only temporarily return to the tent and search for possible uses in the tent.
something arrived.
The food he brought last time has been consumed, leaving only the remnants of some vegetables that are more durable in cold weather. As for personal belongings, just as Shade guessed, Mrs. Marquez, the "servant of the witch"
Neither the man who stole the Wan Xiang Wuchang card had any luggage with him.
In addition to his own clothes, the former had a boot, which was the boot of Mrs. Marquez's original owner; in the latter's pocket was "Impermanence and Darkness", a card that Shade was very familiar with.
Miss Chloe had a small package that she originally put under her head as a pillow. After opening it, she found two books, two notebooks and some miscellaneous items. The miscellaneous items included a ring, which Shade could not identify for the time being.
Spell casting materials, paper and pen, women's hair accessories, perfume, etc.
