Dream of the Century War of Faith Chapter 5 Grave Digging
In the middle of the night when the wind was howling, Zate woke up from the cold even though he was covered with animal skins. The fire had long since turned into ashes without any residual warmth and was frozen.
Although it's not yet dawn, at least I'm mentally full. "Well... I thought I could sleep a little longer." Zate shook his head, put on the animal skin he had just covered, and sang a peaceful and sunny song.
The song sounded and she released the light spell. She walked out from the depths of the cave, intending to see if the wind and snow outside had stopped.
Although the wind is still very strong, there are only a few snowflakes, and maybe the weather will get better tomorrow.
She turned around and packed up her belongings. She made a cloak from a relatively delicate piece of leather that could wrap around her whole body, and hung a few small but tough animal bones to prevent the hem from blowing up.
After that, I laboriously moved the corpses of the surrounding wolves and snowmen to the entrance of the cave, intending to dig them up with larger animal bones and bury them. Although I personally feel that they can at least be eaten by other beasts, but this is just for my own psychology.
It's just a small consolation. It is a law of nature that corpses are eaten by other animals.
It took an unknown amount of time to dig a hole in the frozen soil that could bury the giant snowman's corpse. She was thirsty, tired and cold.
Maybe he just woke up, causing Zate to remember that he still had spells to cast after finishing his work. "Ah, really, why did you only think of it now?"
Then there was a slightly tired voice, and the mage's hands simulated by the melody appeared, assisting her to complete the burial of the corpse.
After that, Zate let out a long sigh, drank half a bottle of water at the entrance of the cave and ate a few mouthfuls of dry biscuits, intending to rest again until his fatigue was relieved.
"Ha...fortunately it was successful, otherwise I would have been cold again." Zate yawned. She was very tired from the constant tossing (although it was completely self-inflicted).
Next to the fire, the open space was cleared, and then some animal skins were spread out for cushioning. After trimming for a while, Zate covered himself with thick animal skins and lay down quietly.
It didn't take long for it to get dark again. The temperature in the ice cave tonight was even lower than yesterday, but Zate no longer had a torch...
Climbing out of the hide and looking outside, she seemed to remember that the woods outside seemed to be a pine forest. "The woods outside can provide torches!" She calmly analyzed it and felt that this method was a good idea.
.
Then Zate first released the mage's hand, and then released the four-ring transformation spell to transform into a giant wolf form to break the branches of the pine tree, and then used the mage's hand to pick up enough branches and leaves of the pine forest and put them on his back.
Spend this day and night.
Another night passed and the snow finally stopped.
Zate left the cave, and after experiencing an unexpected encounter alone, she also changed her future direction in her heart.
In order to keep out the cold, he transformed into the form of a giant wolf and continued to move forward, tentatively intending to find a richer town to practice his will and complete his mission.
She thought that if she wanted to rest, she would collect wood from the pine forest to make a fire for herself to gain heat, and if she was hungry, she would eat dry food. However, when she was resting, she found that there was no food in the dimensional bag.
Zate shook the snow off his ears and looked towards the outer edge of the forest. If there were food sources, he should be able to hunt by himself.
It's theoretically possible to return the same way, but I'm not sure if there will be any deviation. After all, it's been snowing for two days.
But even if something goes wrong, she hopes she can leave here and go to the next place as soon as possible.
Zate spent a lot of magic power to keep the giant wolf alive, and finally saw the edge of the cedar forest at noon - it was inevitable to take a short detour in the middle.
The intelligence will also be reduced in the giant wolf form, which cannot be controlled by the transformation spell. As a result, she ran forward for a while in excitement, and accidentally stepped on a tree stump covered by snow while running.
Then his foot slipped and he lost his strength and knocked down a cedar tree in front of him.
After a funny roll and slide, he lifted his fallen head. Not far away was a clearing that had been cut down. Several women wearing thick animal skin clothes who were picking up branches screamed and ran out of the snow forest.
.
Creatures like wolves need to keep their eyes on the prey and have a narrow field of vision. Two human males quickly ran outside the wolf form's field of vision. They raised their axes and roared at the huge Zate.
Zate secretly cried out in pain, but when he saw someone finally there, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then released the transformation technique he had maintained and shouted to several women.
"Please wait, I don't mean any harm, I'm sorry." The girl patted her head and scattered some of the snow on her head. Maybe she was too excited, and her tail started to wag involuntarily.
Then she also saw that the two human males in the human form's field of vision had grown in size, and their height and width had doubled. The skin was red under the bulging clothes, and there was hair under the fallen animal skin hat.
Red eyes.
The two barbarians did not lose their minds. Seeing that Zate had no intention of fighting, they looked at each other and talked in low voices.
"Brother, she is so beautiful!"
"Yes, she is more beautiful than the patriarch's little girl."
"But, are those the animal ears?"
"Yes, there is also a tail."
"Ahem, may I ask why the beautiful Phantom Lord is here?" The human being called the eldest brother cleared his throat and asked, maybe there was some misunderstanding. At this time, the special violent state of these two people ended, but
It looked like they were almost shaking from the cold without any clothes after the rampage.
"You warriors who live in the wind and snow, you can call me Ymer." Although he looks a bit dull, Zate still maintains the demeanor of a praying priest, which may be a prophet in their eyes.
Same tone.
"Then, why did Lord Ymel come to this barren land?" The first barbarian received a slap from his companion as soon as he finished speaking. The second barbarian who beat his teammate immediately responded: "Sir Ymel
, please be sure to come to our village as a guest."
Zate stretched out his hand upwards and covered his face slightly. "The moment guided by fate has arrived. I am here for the day of gray snow that will come soon." Zate smiled implicitly and said: "So, two warriors,
Please lead the way."
The two stupid guys didn't know what was wrong, but they invited Zate to the village they mentioned.
Looking closer, this is a small town with a population of about 800 located on the edge of the forest. As for why it is called Zhaizi, half of the reason may be the difference in the common language. The other half is probably because the wooden walls on the edge of the building group are made to resist impact.
The reinforcement and protruding wooden spines make it look more like a cottage used as a stronghold by bandits.
A sense of familiarity arose after the transformation of the location. This was exactly the town that Zate saw when he was advancing on the tundra. Although there were some small detours, he finally arrived here.
But even with their wits about their identities, they had to wait for a long time before entering the village. Fortunately, the two of them did not dare to neglect and went to the village to get thick animal skin robes and hot drinks suitable for Zate's height.
While waiting, the guards secretly whispered words of awe when they saw that Zate had animal ears and a furry tail and was so resistant to freezing.
Finally, a female tundra person who was stronger than the previous two barbarians, but unfortunately one of her arms was fixed with a rattan rope and there was blood oozing out, came to Zate.
