Leaving Twilight and heading north through the Green Dragon Pass, you enter the Songpai Valley formed by the intersection of three mountain ranges. This valley is the first place in the north to be hit by the cold current in the severe winter of Oras, so it is also called Fengxue
canyon.
And this valley indeed lives up to its title. Blizzards have been raging for days. Even during the day, the carriage has to brave the heavy snow. The cold wind makes the carriage's shed rattle, and sometimes even the entire body of the carriage rattles.
Everyone was shaking. There was nearly three inches of ice and snow on the road, and the coniferous forests on both sides were covered with silver frost. The occasional cabin or reindeer flashing through the forest was a unique scene in the north, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
That’s all.
However, a few players knew how to enjoy themselves. They squeezed themselves into the carriage and wrapped themselves in blankets, but they didn't feel the cold at all.
Yun Na handed a thermos that had been heated by magic to the NPC driving in front of her. The driver thanked her profusely. His deep and grateful voice made people feel comfortable, and a warm feeling of true love spread out.
"There are still a few miles to go. If the weather doesn't get as bad as it was at night, I'll be there soon." The uncle's voice came from the front. His name was Mullen. He was 40 years old. In addition to driving, he also had many other skills.
High wilderness survival skills.
Xiao Fen nodded. He looked out from the gap in the mat and stared at the two lines of ruts on the snow that continued to extend backwards. "Did she hire a carriage? It would be uncomfortable to ride a horse in this weather."
?" When the mage thought of the female thief who was following him, he was not nervous at all, but actually slightly worried about her.
Suddenly he smiled, secretly laughing at himself when he started to worry about a girl who wanted his life. However, he remembered that Qiqi had held back his hand twice. Generally speaking, he felt sorry for her.
"It's so troublesome!" Xiao Fen muttered and unfolded the map. Beside him, the goblin turned into a human. Of course, he did not become like this by illusion, but by the monocle on his face.
I exchanged a cursed item 'Psychedelic Incense' for these glasses from Xiao Fen.
No one was in the mood to chat in the cold weather, and the carriage continued to move forward in a dull atmosphere. However, the weather did not get worse as Mullen feared. The sky actually cleared up in the afternoon, and the outline of the fortress of the gods also appeared in front of everyone.
in the field of vision.
The cities of the northern knights are different from the cities in the south. It can even be said to be completely opposite. There are often many small towns next to the knights' fortresses. These small towns are where they select players and NPCs. Trainee knights are often selected here and then enter the Silver Dimension.
Silan's headquarters.
The carriage passed through such a small town and arrived at the gate of the Fortress of the Gods around three o'clock. Mullen and the goblin first drove the carriage to the parking lot, and then everyone gathered and entered the legendary city.
Fortress of the Gods - This city managed by knights only has a history of more than 130 years. The purpose of its birth is to block the invasion of humans by the orcs. Its earliest leader, the Duke of Turrance, died in the attack on the orcs.
During the war, the successor of the Duke of Tullence, the Duke of Visa, also died in the war against the orcs. Its current leader, the spiritual leader of all the knights in the north - the radiant sage Christiana, according to her own words,
One day, she will spill her blood here too.
Since entering winter, this place has been in a state of war. The main city wall of the Gods' Fortress in the northeast has almost been dyed red by the blood of players, NPCs and orcs, but the two city gates in the northwest of the city have never been closed.
, because the fortress of the gods will never be attacked from the rear!
When Xiao Fen and others stepped into the city gate, the last siege battle had just ended. The soldiers retreated from the main city wall in the north in an orderly manner. Some of them were injured and looked depressed, while others were intact.
There was no harm in talking and laughing, but almost everyone's armor was covered with various 'medals'. There were many paladin players on the street, followed by priests and monks. Of course, there were other professions, but druids and thieves
It is almost completely invisible, and there are even very few mages.
They walked forward along the street, and crisp jingling sounds came from the blacksmith shops on both sides. The upper knights led their mounts through the side. NPCs with various weapons abounded. Compared to the south, here
The folk customs have become much stronger.
The mage looked around as he walked. He did not intend to stay here for a long time. He would stay one night, buy all the necessary items, and then set off the next day to continue heading north. Soon, he saw the piece of wood above the crowd in front of him.
Make a signboard - Fist of Glory, a very famous hotel.
Xiao Fen turned around and said to the NPC: "Uncle Malen, go and help buy some food. I want to go somewhere alone. Others can do whatever they want." After that, he pointed to the signboard and said: "Be here before 6 o'clock.
gather!"
Xiao Fen's words were approved by everyone. After listening to him briefly telling them what they needed to pay attention to, everyone dispersed. Among them, Ma Lun naturally took the goblins to purchase food as planned, while Xiaomao dragged Yun Na along.
Went to the market area.
The mage headed towards the headquarters of Silver Vislan alone. He wanted to try his luck first to see if the little girls were there. In fact, he never told Xue and the other three about his trip north, just to give them a
surprise.
While asking passers-by, he quickly passed through Luce Street and the Holy Light Road. When Xiao Fen arrived at the Holy Sword Square that the little girl was full of praise for, the giant Gothic-style building of the Silver Wisland headquarters appeared in the distance.
, under the gray sky, the towering spiers of the building symbolized the proximity of priests and paladins to God. Looking at the huge statue of the Duke of Tullence in the center of the Holy Sword Square, the mage breathed a sigh of relief.
, I suddenly felt a little excited.
But at this moment, a terrible vibration came from the north. The ground of the square was beating slightly, and the rumbling sound continued from the underground to the distance. The sudden vibration made the mage lose his balance, and he suddenly held on to the statue next to him.
The statue of the knight did not fall down.
"What happened?" he shouted in confusion. For a moment, he almost wondered whether the fortress wall had collapsed or been breached - although there was no difference between the two.
A hand stretched out, and it was covered with beautiful silver plate armor. Xiao Fen noticed that the armor was engraved with beautiful rose-shaped patterns. The hand supported him, and then a surprised voice sounded in his ears.
: "Brother Palin?"
Xiao Fen raised his head, and what he saw was a pretty face that was both happy and surprised. The dazzling blond hair was gathered under a metal helmet, a pair of blue eyes flashed with excitement, and the diamond-shaped red lips were slightly open.
The fragrant breath coming out of your mouth condensed into tiny droplets of water in the air.
The little girl has matured a lot - this was the first thought in Xiao Fen's mind. Although the Sophia in front of him was still innocent and pure, there was more persistence and perseverance in her eyes. At this moment, Xiao Fen knew that she was no longer
That little girl who can only act coquettishly has her own goals and pursuits.
"The orcs are attacking the city for the third time!!!" Several knights crossed the square, and their roars woke up the two people who were immersed in joy. The mage was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile: "Damn it, Nizi,
I’m here to see you!”
"It's really Brother Palin!" A few drops of crystal liquid gushed out from the little girl's big blue eyes. She let out a skylark-like cheer and threw herself into Xiao Fen's arms. She screamed and jumped with excitement, as if she wanted to
I let out all the thoughts I had accumulated over the past few days.
Xiao Fen also let her do whatever she wanted. He patted the little girl's back lovingly and comforted her gently, just like a brother comforting his sister.
After a while, the little girl seemed to realize something. She blushed, took a step back, took Xiao Fen's hand and whispered: "Brother Palin, why did you come to the north? Why didn't you tell us? This time you
Aren't you going to leave? I miss you so much!" She asked a series of questions eagerly, without considering whether Xiao Fen could hear them clearly.
The mage shook his head and said with a smile: "I was just passing by and will leave tomorrow. Before I leave, I made a special trip to see you. I want to give you a surprise!"
"Oh..." Sophia looked disappointed, her beautiful sapphire-like eyes quickly dimmed, she curled her lips, and wanted to say something but didn't.
"Don't worry, I will be back soon!" Xiao Fen comforted her with a smile.
"Really?" The little girl raised her head with a dissatisfied pouting, a look of suspicion flashing in her eyes, the kind of suspicion that she was afraid of losing something precious.
"When did Brother Palin lie to you?" Xiao Fen used his trump card.
The little girl nodded obediently and held Xiao Fen's hand tightly, as if just holding it tightly would make him stay. At this time, a paladin passed by them, and he first glanced at him suspiciously.
The two held hands, and then asked: "Miss Sophia, the second siege of the orcs has begun, won't you go?"
The little girl was startled, and then she remembered that she was so excited that she almost forgot about it. Her face turned red again, but she quickly calmed down. She nodded towards the paladin and said: "You go first
Come on, I'll be here right away!" Then he turned back to Xiao Fen and said, "Brother Palin, Sister Xue and Sister Ke'er are still on the city wall, let's go find them!"
As soon as Xiao Fen heard the news, his heartbeat accelerated several times. Blood rushed to his cheeks, and a flush appeared on his originally pale face. He nodded quickly, wishing he could just put on his wings and fly over immediately.
