And there are dangers that may appear from around you at any time.
For the members of the expedition team, the next journey is undoubtedly very dangerous, but it is also a choice they make when facing challenges.
Maybe it was because Giovanni was the first to stand up and set an example.
It may also be that everyone still has the courage to challenge difficulties and dangers.
Anyway——
This journey will continue.
And no one chose to quit midway.
So just like responding to their choice, less than a day passed before the real challenge arrived in front of them.
--Snowing.
—and a blizzard accompanied by a hurricane.
The expedition team, which had just climbed over the hillside, was walking on a piece of frozen ice.
At this moment, facing the sudden weather change, we immediately fell into a very difficult situation.
The cold wind blows on the exposed skin like a knife, and the ice under the feet can cause people to fall if they are not careful. Even if the expedition team prepared non-slip shoes, in this situation, the extreme conditions of ice and snow will soon make people fall.
The weather becomes less reliable.
Not to mention the body heat that is constantly being taken away by this freezing weather.
The most direct sense that gives people is the direct conflict between the lowered body temperature and the impatient heart.
"..."
Facing the wind and snow, we marched hard for half an hour.
Seeing that the momentum of the blizzard was still growing, Bettina in the team finally couldn't help shouting:
"Giovanni, we need to camp where we are!"
“It’s really irrational to travel in this kind of weather!”
Bettina's suggestion is very reasonable. In this case, the expedition members must conserve their physical strength to deal with possible troubles later.
"..."
When Giovanni, who was walking at the front of the team, heard this shouting, he subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance despite the wind and snow - the white snowflakes were blowing straight towards his face, and the same was true for the sky and earth in the distance.
The wind and snow that disrupted his vision made it almost impossible for him to observe anything of value.
"Javik, gather all the big-antlered deer here!"
"First use camp cloth to tie it around as a fence, and then prepare the tent."
Javik, who was at the front of the team, immediately responded:
"I see!"
"..."
Soon, the team stopped moving forward and prepared to rest on the spot.
However, the subsequent work of setting up the camp in the wind and snow went surprisingly smoothly.
After all, Ronald and Costart are on the team.
Ordinary people faced with such wind and snow, it would probably take a lot of effort just to set up the surrounding camp. However, Ronald and the two stood in the wind and snow, not affected by the weather at all. Any work was handed over to them.
With your hands, you can perform it as easily as when practicing indoors.
So it didn't take too long.
A temporary camp that can shelter the expedition team from the wind and snow can be easily set up.
While everyone gathered around to light a fire to keep warm, they naturally couldn't help but think of what happened when they set up the camp just now.
Someone immediately couldn't help but sigh:
"Mr. Ronald, are all mystical side magicians as powerful as you two?"
Ronald smiled and shook his head:
"Don't worry, it's not as exaggerated as you think."
"Except for some guys who specialize in using magic to strengthen their bodies, most people's physical fitness is no different from ordinary people. Kostat and I are special cases among special cases."
When the questioner heard this answer, his expression suddenly felt relieved:
"So that's it..."
Several people in the team continued talking while someone boiled water and prepared food.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Giovanni, the leader of the expedition, couldn't help his curiosity and asked Ronald about his question:
"anyway……"
"Mr. Ronald, do magicians like you have any better ways to deal with such extreme weather?"
Ronald heard the meaning in Giovanni's tone, and his eyes immediately turned to Costat beside him.
My own spells are basically the type used in battle.
A complete blank that can protect people's safety for a long time.
In order to make the expedition team travel more safely and conveniently, the only person they can turn to is the maid next to them:
"Costat, do you have any good ideas?"
Although this was a request made by Ronald, when faced with something beyond his capabilities, Costart could only shake his head regretfully:
"Sir, I'm sorry-"
"The spell with the longest duration among my abilities cannot cope with such all-weather operations. As for the spell that changes the weather... In the extreme local climate, the effect cannot last long."
After receiving such a response, Ronald could only shrug towards Giovanni with regret:
"That's probably it."
"Other than the camp and safety protection, we shouldn't be able to provide any additional help moving forward."
"No, no, no!" Faced with Ronald's apology, Giovanni immediately waved his hands, "I didn't mean that. In fact, I am very satisfied to have received such help when setting up the camp just now."
"When I went on expeditions in the past, I never encountered such conditions."
Clang——
At this time, the person who prepared the food had numb palms because of the cold weather. He failed to hold the kettle and the water spilled out. The flame that had just risen was immediately wet.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry!"
"The weather is too cold. My, my hands are a little unsteady, so I will light up the fire."
This was originally just a small episode.
It won't cause any changes.
But when he saw the expedition members lighting a fire, Ronald suddenly had an idea.
"Wait a minute...I suddenly remembered something!"
Realizing this, Ronald immediately stood up from the crowd, turned around and walked out of the tent to the big horned deer.
These gentle creatures cling to each other in the wind and snow to maintain their own temperature. Because they are extremely cold-resistant animals, they have no problem in this kind of weather.
After Ronald was lifted from the ban.
One even shook his head at him.
"So good——"
Ronald gently touched the big horned deer's head, and then came to the one carrying the luggage.
Among the supplies he carried with him, Ronald found a sealed box and opened it directly despite the wind and snow.
call--
In an instant, light spread all around.
The appearance of the flames of Juehai's lantern directly made the entire camp area and even further locations become brightly lit. And under the light that could sting the skin, even the powerful wind and snow from the outside could not penetrate at all.
"..."
Looking at the lantern in his hand that is constantly emitting light.
Ronald couldn't help but smile:
"I really didn't expect that this thing would be useful in the snow besides being in the Nameless Sea?"
