After leaving Camilla's small garden, Yeze couldn't calm down for a long time. He only felt that his mind was a mess, and he felt an inexplicable pressure on his body, making it difficult to breathe.
Prior to this, Ye Ze's experiences, whether it was conflicts with the Francis family, or entanglements with the royal family...etc., etc., made Ye Ze lack of respect for those so-called families, and even the Beishang Empire.
In his heart, Ye Ze knew how powerful those forces were, but in his heart, he was more or less contemptuous. Ye Ze always felt that as long as he was strong enough, these so-called huge forces would be stepped on by him.
However, the academy secrets about Dresden gave Yeze a deeper understanding of the world.
Dresden College has students all over the world, and there are many strong men. Its influence and power are far beyond the comparison of the Royal College. However, such an ancient college that has been passed down for thousands of years collapsed due to a rebellion.
Judging from this incident, the Holy Land of the Snow Mountains is not as noble and great as the outside world rumored. And the Northern Frost Empire is not as cowardly as imagined. The Iron-blooded Emperor Romenas alone is far from as simple as it seems.
Not to mention, there is a mysterious Imperial Council of Elders.
Yeze vaguely felt that the reason why he was able to thrive despite his troubles was that, in addition to Romenas using him to suppress the nobles, perhaps it was because the mysterious Council of Elders did not keep an eye on him. The development of the Hand of Darkness
No matter how good it is, it can't be better than Dresden College back then.
Yeze still has to go to the Nanyan Empire to find Uncle Feng, and he also has to go to the Amalia Temple to rescue Shui'er. The former is an existence on the same level as the Beishang Empire, and the latter is almost an institution equivalent to the Elders' House.
The previous thought was very simple, just sneak in and rescue people. But now it seems that a better plan is needed. If not, in the end, instead of waiting to rescue Uncle Feng and Shui'er, they will get themselves involved.
In addition to worries about the future, the current reality is even more troublesome for Ye Ze.
Ancient alchemy array!
This thing was one of the causes of the decline of Dresden College. He only weighed a few pounds, and carrying it was no less than carrying an atomic bomb while shopping.
Especially now that Ye Ze is in a hurry to rush to Daxue Mountain, he can't take this thing with him. Daxue Mountain was also a participant in the incident that year. If he goes there with the alchemy array and the metal core, he is asking for death.
But, who can leave this thing for safekeeping?
To be fair, the people in the Hand of Darkness are basically trustworthy. Especially people like Hickory, who are simply excellent candidates for security. But this alchemy array has a lot to do with it, can it be left to that piece of wood? Others...
Looking down at the wooden box in his arms, Ye Ze wanted to chew up the contents and eat them.
He returned to the station in a daze, and happened to meet Bernhard face to face when he entered the door. The two of them were stunned, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
"I'm back." Bernhard smiled half-heartedly.
"I'm back." Ye Ze smiled back and put his arm around Bernhard's shoulders: "Let's go inside and talk..."
Under the strange looks of others, an old man and a young man walked into the house arm-in-arm and closed the door tightly.
"Who are you?" After the two sat down, Ye Ze went straight to the point, concisely speaking.
"Bernhard!" Bernhard's answer was profound and concise: "A reliable old alchemist."
Yeze stared into Bernhard's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "The identity of a person who can be called a friend by Camilla must not be simple. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask more questions. But I want to know.
, why are you big shots targeting me?"
Bernhard smiled and said: "I like you because of your talent and potential in alchemy. Why Rudolf is eyeing you, you have to ask him. As for Camilla, she is just a person with a bit of a bad taste.
Just an old woman."
"Uh..." Ye Ze rolled his eyes, knowing that he couldn't ask anything from him. Without hesitation, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Bernhard: "You can keep this thing."
Bernhard's eyes lit up and he was a little excited. He took the wooden box and stroked it a few times, then looked up at Ye Ze: "Do you just trust me so much?"
"You can ask a legendary powerhouse to save me, why can't I trust you?" Ye Ze said: "Based on your relationship with Camilla, if you wanted this thing, you would have had nothing to do with me.
"
"Don't worry, I just want to study the alchemy array and nothing else." Bernhard nodded: "I will make some disguises, so even if someone sees me, I won't notice any problems."
"Whatever you do." Yeze rubbed his head: "You are all powerful, you can discuss things on your own. I really don't understand why you have to drag me, a little shrimp, into the water..."
Rudolf asked Camilla to give these things to him. It was by no means a simple safekeeping. When he came back from the Snowy Mountains, he had to have a good chat with Rudolf. What on earth was going on when he gave himself an atomic bomb for no reason?
……………………
After arranging the ancient alchemy formation, Yeze was ready to go to the Snowy Mountains to return the Saint's scepter.
Before, Yeze had gone with the whole group as a pilgrimage and sightseeing trip. However, the contact with Ed, the Saint of the Snowy Mountains, made Yeze change his mind. While in the Desert of Despair, Yeze noticed Ed's murderous intention. Saint
The scepter may also hide secrets that Snake doesn't know about. What's more, there is also the subtle relationship between Snowy Mountain and Dresden College...
In the end, Ye Ze decided to go on this trip to the Snowy Mountains alone with Snake. In order to prevent others from trying to follow, Ye Ze even conspired with Snake and made up a lie.
"Only one person can go?" Elaine looked suspicious: "Why?"
"You know, the saint's scepter is very important, so you should treat it with caution..." Ye Ze laughed.
Angelina obviously didn't believe it and asked: "The more important the Saint's Scepter is, the more people it needs to protect it. Why do you insist that only one person can go there?"
"This... holy land has many rules, and I can't quite figure them out..." Ye Ze was questioned one after another, and he couldn't resist. He pulled Snake over and said, "Sneck, explain to them.
Down."
"Snake, you have to think clearly before you speak!" Elaine glared and threatened: "If you dare to lie, I want you to look good!"
Hickli didn't say anything, but just pulled out the sword and wiped it. Angelina and others also looked at Snake with murderous intent, and the threat was palpable.
Snake, who was watched by many eyes, suddenly had the illusion that he was among wolves. Snake glanced at Ye Ze with a resentful look, and said slightly stiffly: "The scepter of the saint has an extraordinary
The holder must return the scepter to the Snowy Mountains alone with a heart of reverence, in order to be recognized by the saints."
"What kind of breaking of the rules is this?!" Elaine was furious: "I won't listen."
"It's up to you whether you listen or not." Snake put on a poker face: "But these are the rules of the Snowy Mountains. If you don't abide by them, you can't enter the mountain."
"I……"
In the end, with Snake's cooperation, both the willful Elaine and the persistent Hickli reluctantly chose to compromise. For everyone's safety, Yeze made some additional arrangements.
Ye Ze has made too many enemies, including Jared of the Hand of Light and Surcock of the Francis Family. Just because those guys are silent now doesn't mean they won't be in the future.
The safest place Yeze could think of was Stan's birthplace and the old pirate leader Harry's lair - Shark Island.
The red sand dunes are very close to the southern coastline of the Strait of Souls. Yeze asked Maris and Fakhla to lead the team to the seaside town of Nice. Then Stan contacted Harry and asked everyone to go to Shark Island for a temporary rest. Elaine also wanted to go to the mysterious
He wanted to see the Shark Island and go with him. But Ye Ze was very doubtful whether the pirates could let the princess go to the island.
The city of Brat is not far from the small town of Nice, but it is not as convenient as Yeze to go to the Snowy Mountains.
The Desert of Despair and the Snowy Mountains are almost at the opposite ends of the Northern Continent, and the journey is quite long. However, you don’t need to walk to the Snowy Mountains on your own, but can take an airship.
Airships are ancient technologies left over from the Dark Ages. Later generations have been trying to imitate them, but have never succeeded. Currently, there are only ten airships that can operate on the Zerbist continent. And these ten airships are all owned by Daxueshan.
The route of the airship is naturally centered on the Snowy Mountains and radiates to all parts of the continent. Brat City is also one of the landing places for the airship.
The airship's landing point is within the city and is managed with the help of the military. However, due to his delicate relationship with Sanchez, Yeze has never been there before for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Airships don't come every day. The airships from Brat City come once a month on average. After asking, I learned that the nearest airship was four days later.
In order to deceive others, Maris and others set off the day before the airship arrived. After the others were on their way, early the next morning, Yeze and Snake quietly went out and rushed to the landing point of the airship.
……………………
The landing point of the airship was a small square that looked very ordinary. In the center of the square was a circular tower more than 100 meters high. On the square and the tower were fully armed Imperial soldiers.
The soldiers will maintain order and do some routine checks, but these are all unilateral actions of the Northern Frost Empire. There are no hard requirements for taking the airship. As long as a ticket of 100,000 knives is paid, the management staff on the airship will not even
The identity will be verified. The source of this confidence is the strength of the Holy Land.
After passing the interrogation and paying a small fee, Ye Ze and Snake walked into the tower and followed the long spiral staircase to the top of the tower.
Ye Ze thought he had arrived early enough, but when he arrived at the top of the tower, he found that at least twenty people were already standing there. Those people looked ordinary, but they were all dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes.
Among ordinary people, the rumors about the Holy Land of the Snowy Mountains are very exaggerated, and there are even claims of immortality. Wealthy businessmen and nobles often make pilgrimages to the Snowy Mountains, hoping to seek something like the elixir of immortality.
After waiting for about two hours, a loud roar came from the sky. Ye Ze looked intently and saw a huge object flying over in the distant sky, slowly approaching. (To be continued. If you like this
