Chapter 47 Frozen Rift

Two days ago, Mina carried six people from the adventure group on a long journey around half of the Yara Continent. Because Mina's flight height was extremely high and far beyond the sight of the creatures, there was no disturbance in any area along the way. She just walked over the Yara Continent and passed over the territory of the Faral Empire. One hundred and fifteen years ago, Neri, the demigod of the Faral Empire, rejected the Fa on the grounds that the knights were loyal to their faith in glory and justice rather than to the royal family.

After the war of attacking the Lar Empire against foreign countries and being forced to leave the empire and join the neutral land, the empire has not been able to have a new demigod for more than a hundred years. Therefore, Mina and Panis, who deliberately bypassed the neutral land, did not arouse any demigod sense. They completed the reconnaissance of two locations in the Faral Empire at an unknown altitude. Unfortunately, the hard reconnaissance was only a ruthless denial of Eva, and the target they were looking for was not among these two locations.

However, the regret did not last long. A day later, on the Permafrost Icefield, Eva finally confirmed that the fragments carrying the Ninth Laboratory of the Fifth Zone were on the ice field below, but the positioning range was very large, and it was a circular area with a radius of thirty kilometers. After confirming these, everyone did not wait to land, but asked Mina to take everyone to return to the northernmost medium-sized city of Butt, the country of Mages. Since it was one of the cities closest to Permafrost Icefield, there were essential items for fists to explore the Icefield for the adventurers passing by to purchase and supplement. The girls had never entered the Permafrost Icefield. Even Penis had only entered once, and it was not long, so they did not know Permafrost Icefield very well.

The essential supplies on the frozen ice field, but Panis and Catherine still used the information found in the Adventurers Guild branch and combined with their own adventure knowledge to buy sufficient ice field adventure materials. Not only that, Catherine did another thing without anyone expecting it. She browsed all the advanced tasks in the guild about the permanent ice field and recorded all the tasks collected in it. In this way, once the items sought on the task list were found in the ice field, they could collect them in a targeted manner. In this way, they would not waste much time and could make up for a considerable amount of net expenditure over the past few months through the task compensation. If they were lucky, they would even have a lot of surplus.

Everyone has no energy to evaluate Catherine's behavior of not letting go of any money-making opportunity. Everyone knows that although she is extremely enthusiastic about making money, she can still distinguish the key points. She will never put everyone in danger because of rushing to make money, and will not delay the business due to making money. It will not have any substantial impact on the actions of the adventure team, so she pretends not to see it. She is happy.

After making all the preparations, Ms. Mina flew back to the permafrost ice field again. After Mina let them go, she went straight back to the Dragon Mountains, where she also needed to invite Vanne, the oldest dragon clan, to hold a meeting to discuss the problems brought by Panis and the others. It was impossible for everyone to accompany everyone to waste time on the ice field to find a goblin ruin.

When Mina left, everyone needed to walk on the ice field with their legs to realize how terrible the permafrost ice field, one of the legendary forbidden areas of life, is. It is not to mention the cold wind that is still biting through the thick cotton coat, nor does it mention the snowflakes that often fall without warning. Just walking is a simple action that brings a lot of trouble to everyone. Walking on the frozen snow and ice that is as smooth as mirror, even if you are wrapped with anti-slip chains on your feet, you will still fall by accident. Although the clothes are very thick and you don’t feel like falling, if this happens in battle, it may be a disaster. Moreover, because you may fall at any time, everyone’s walking speed has been reduced to an exaggerated level. You used to maintain a normal speed that saves energy. You can move forward at least ten kilometers per hour, but when you get here, it takes at least a whole day to complete it.

It took the six people half a day to adapt to the feeling of walking on the ice field. They tried not to tilt their bodies forward or backward, maintain a speed perpendicular to the ground, and even when they took a step, they tried to ensure that the entire soles of their feet were on the ground at the same time, in order to increase the area of ​​force, and adjust the angle of force to prevent slipping. With this way of walking, everyone moved forward smoothly for a distance and came to the cracked canyon.

"If you don't have it, just take a detour." Catherine said hesitantly: "The wind here is not enough. You can't use a kite to float over like you did in the Glitter Forest. It would be too dangerous to jump over."

"If you take a detour, the distance is not short." Panis looked far along the sides of the rift valley, shook his head and said, "There is no end on both sides. I guess there is at least three or four kilometers each. At our speed, it may take half a day to a day to go around, which is a waste of time. Lina, in this environment, can you use the terrain to summon stone pillars to increase the height of our side?"

"Do you want to use the height difference to glide over?" Lina immediately guessed Panis's plan and shook her head and said, "But unfortunately, ice and snow cover the earth. Unless the ice layer is reduced to a certain level, the terrain cannot be changed here."

"It doesn't seem to work," Catherine frowned and said, "Which Vivian, when we landed in the deep sea, your pontoon bridge was very effective, and it was filled with water elements. Can you use that method again?"

"The ice element here." Vivian corrected: "Although the two are of the same origin, their characteristics are completely different. The water element is very plastic. I can use them to create pontoon bridges, but the ice element has almost no plasticity. I cannot let the pontoon bridges stretch out of thin air unless enough ice elements can be converted into water, but it is obviously impossible here."

"That's a problem." Panis said in confusion: "If there is no height difference, if I use some tools to glide from here, I will have to drop at least thirty or forty meters when I reach the opposite side. The cliffs opposite are covered with ice. I can't guarantee that I can climb to this height smoothly. Forget it, why don't I try it."

"Hey, this is too messy." Catherine was startled and said dissatisfied: "It would rather spend more than one more day on the go, than just making such a mess. What if it fails."

"I will tie the safety rope." Panis took out a special safety rope of 200 meters long and tied it around his waist, patted the knot and said, "With this safety rope, I will not fall after I glided there, even if I can't climb to the ice surface."

"Yes, it won't fall, but it will fall down more than a hundred meters and then pat it on the ice, right?" Catherine rolled her eyes and said angrily: "We don't want to find a way to go and pick you out of the ice, put the rope down for me."

"Well, then we can only take a detour." Panis patted his head in distress, but obeyed the instructions and untied the rope and put it in Eva's hand that was stretched out: "Let's take a detour. I hope we are lucky enough to choose the shorter side. Maybe we can reach the opposite side at this time tomorrow."

Everyone was thinking about countermeasures seriously, and no one paid attention to what Eva was doing. When Catherine discovered it, the girl of God had tied the safety rope to her waist, with no expression on her face, and walked towards the edge of the cliff without saying a word.

"Eva." Catherine exclaimed: "What are you going to do? Don't mess around, it's very dangerous."

Eva looked back at Catherine who was approaching carefully step by step. She tilted her head in confusion, but still said nothing. She just turned around and took steps towards the sky outside the cliff. Under everyone's stunned gaze, the girl of God-Minist stood outside the cliff with her feet hanging from the cliff, allowing the cold wind blowing from under the cliff to raise her blonde hair.

"So, what are we struggling with just now?" Freya suddenly covered her eyes as if she had no face to see someone and muttered in a low voice: "It took more than ten minutes to discuss countermeasures and study various possible methods, but in the end... she could fly."

"I never knew she could fly." Catherine also said with her lips twitching, "If I knew, what would I waste this energy, Panis, don't you know?"

Panis answered this question with practical actions and shouted directly: "Ava, how can you fly? Can the gods and people fly?"

"If the strength reaches a certain level, it is the special ability of the Three-Eyed Clan. Well, if the strength reaches your legendary level and your demigod, you can barely walk in the air like this. If your strength can be improved to the level of the top-level strongman, you can fly freely." Ava stood in the air, as stable as standing on the flat ground, and could still turn around easily and say, "Don't you know? Those strongmen have fought with gods before. If they couldn't fly, how could they fight head-on with gods? I thought you knew it long ago."

"Uh, okay, it makes sense." Panis and Catherine looked at each other awkwardly and laughed dryly. Indeed, since the beginning of the goblin civilization, almost all creatures had to rely on wings to fly, even the only exceptional demigod mage only used spells to barely move forward slowly in the air, which was difficult to count as a kind of flight. Therefore, everyone ignored the problem Eva mentioned, and it was not even considered ignorance, but did not expect this aspect at all. Panis shook his head ridiculedly, threw a few metal rods over, and shouted with a wry smile: "Be careful on the way, and then fix the ropes after going there, so that we can go there."
