In order to successfully establish his arsenal, Hero had no choice but to agree to Byrne's request and walk out of the tower. He already had a premonition that something was wrong.
But who could have imagined that he would be taken to a world of ice and snow.
The cold wind blew snowflakes, and Hero shuddered subconsciously.
The cold wind blowing randomly cut his skin like a knife. The temperature at this time was at least minus 30 degrees or even lower.
Even though the soul magic formula embroidered on the magician's robe can resist some of the cold wind erosion, the temperature in Hero's body is still passing away in this environment.
"I...I've...got...used to it!"
The trembling sound came along with the sound of the wind, and Byrne, who was walking beside Helo, hugged his arms and trembled a little.
"How did you find this place? It can't be a forbidden area, brother, I don't want to go, I'll go back."
The trembling Byrne heard Hero's words, straightened up and came over, and took his hand.
"First...go to the front...to hide!"
Hero looked around and vaguely saw a large rock behind the snowdrift ahead, which could block the wind and snow and provide them with a temporary shelter.
Phew~.
The two of them staggered down the snowy ground, one step at a time, into a deep hole, and crawled under the rocks with difficulty.
Hero poured out some wood blocks from [Flea Skin Bag], placed them into a wood pile, and used [Moon Energy Explosion] with minimal power to create a small flame through the heat generated by the explosion.
A flame the size of a washbasin appeared, warming the small space.
"It's warmed up a little bit, and I can talk normally."
"That's really good, sir. How did you know about this place?"
Hero took out some more food. Eating food can restore the body's own heat.
Neither his nor Byrne's systems have any soul skills related to temperature, so their resistance to cold is basically zero.
"This is where my assessment and promulgation tasks are located."
Byrne sniffled, looking at the snowy sky outside the stone, with a sad expression on his face, as if he was recalling the bad past.
"Do you know how many people were left in our team after returning from that mission?
"All dead?"
"Gah? Do you think I am you!"
Holo's subconscious answer gave Byrne a headache, forgetting that no teammate in this guy's team could come back alive.
How could I let such a person guess?
"How much is left?"
Just because of Byrne's character, he was able to come back alive and obtain the golden key... Helo didn't think this task could be that difficult.
"Two, there are two besides me. One of them has a damaged soul, frostbite on his lower body, and his body is permanently disabled."
Byrne gave a wry smile, and Hero noticed a different message in that smile.
"So serious? Why? Did it hit you?"
"No, that apprentice with a damaged soul wanted to snatch my mission target, so I pushed him into the cold pool. It was a pity. If another teammate hadn't stopped me, I could have avoided future troubles.
What I want to say is that it is very dangerous here, but I found a treasure during the mission. Last time, because there were too many people, I had no chance to take it back, and it was just on my own... It was difficult. I need someone I can trust.
.”
"A baby that even you covet? Didn't the other teammate notice?"
Hero asked curiously, is this a treasure that even Bayn, who was born in Fengdu, a big city at the hub of the empire, covets?
"Of course, even if you see this treasure that will make you jealous, of course my useless teammate also discovered it, but at that time, in order to ensure that the mission could be completed smoothly, we both had a tacit understanding not to mention it.
After that...he didn't have the strength to gain it, and I wasn't sure about it alone. Plus, I was afraid of the other party's plot, so I put this plan on hold for the time being."
"It's been so long since the evaluation and assessment ended, aren't you worried about that person sneaking over and taking the baby away?"
He promised to help Byrne, but only within the scope of his ability. If the treasure in Byrne's mouth was taken away or could not be found at all, then the agreement still stood and he would get the half of the queen ant essence.
"Hey, I won't let those two people go easily. They also know that I'm watching them, so they don't dare to go out during this period."
Just when Holo was wondering how he knew, Byrne held his warm hands like a bouquet, and an emerald green soul butterfly flew in his closed hands.
"When did you learn it?"
He didn't recognize this soul technique, but his keen soul perception could detect its purpose.
track!
"It's just a system soul technique. Controlling arrows with consciousness alone is too difficult for a more flexible magician to aim. With it, it will be more accurate.
Hehe, I didn't expect that this thing is very effective for surveillance. If you don't realize it, you can easily find out. With this, I can control their actions.
Since returning to the tower, none of them have come out, but recently the apprentice has been a little dishonest and started walking around in the tower. It seems that he is recruiting people.
It happened that you came to me at this time. In order to prevent him from sneaking in, I took this opportunity to come first."
Byrne giggled twice, but his expression was really not consistent with his wise behavior.
"Have you left any mark on that treasure?"
The wind and snow outside showed no signs of abating, and even became more violent.
Searching for that elusive treasure in this environment... you may risk your life if you are not careful.
He might as well go back directly.
"Of course, you believe me, otherwise I wouldn't have the confidence to help you find those wings! It's just that the wind and snow here are relatively strong, and the time is dragging on for a long time. Maybe, it's just a little bit difficult to find...
"
"Wings? The treasure you are talking about is wings? Isn't it easy to find? Can you explain to me which wing is worth your trouble and effort to run to this damn place?"
"Don't be excited, don't be excited. The one I can definitely find is very important to me. You know that wing too. I showed it to you in the library last time. I even asked you to pay attention to it for me!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Byrne reminded, this actually made Hero recall.
"Baby bird? What color is it!"
He remembered what was recorded in the book that Byrne handed him at that time.
A strange bird that looks like a baby. No, it should be said that it looks like a baby with bird wings.
They are really just like babies, with the same body, eyes, nose, mouth, and hands and feet.
It just has a pair of strange wings on its back.
One big and one small.
The big wing is strong and strong and can cover the entire body shape; while the small wing is as weak as a deformed bone and has no other function except that it looks like a wing.
Because of the asymmetry of their wings, they cannot fly and can only walk, run, and climb like human children.
The gender distribution of this kind of soul beast is a bit strange. The wings of male baby birds are gray and there are more of them. This number is based on the ratio of male to female in the group. They are still rare to the outside world, but they are willing to spend more soul coins.
You can still find it in low-level markets.
The number of mother and baby birds is very small, and there is even only one in a tribe. Their wings are white. If they really want to survive in this world of ice and snow, the white wings that can only cover the entire body will become the best.
protective color.
In the process Byrne described before, he had never heard of mother and baby birds appearing in the tower market, and he had never heard of even transactions between high-level magicians.
This made him a little curious as to what kind of baby bird he found with wing colors.
Byrne raised two fingers excitedly.
"White ones! Two! Two whole ones! Do you know what the concept is?"
