Golden flames exploded in the sky, spreading out in all directions against the gloomy sky, like a ring. The strong wind swept the snowflakes. Such bad weather was like the end of the world predicted by the Min'er people, but the dazzling flash was still there.
It illuminated the sky for dozens of miles around, and underneath the layers of clouds, there was a vast expanse of white.
"Lord?" Medisa turned back from that direction, and the light made her cheeks turn white.
"Let's divide the troops into two groups. This is the high-level magic of the Temple of Fire. It seems that Freya is in trouble." Brando also raised his head and replied to her.
Veronica nodded in agreement.
"Let Brund take everyone else over. You, our legion commander, stay here, the teacher stays, and I have my three followers, Qian, plus Aloz and Star, these top combatants.
My strength is enough to deal with that old fox Anlek."
"As for Prince Lenaret..."
"He's with us." Veronica glanced at him and answered first.
Brando understands that no matter how courageous they are, the Cruz people will not let their future crown prince take unnecessary risks. However, Freya must be in trouble. This is obvious, but Valkyrie will eventually leave.
He can't always protect her in his own way, which will ultimately harm her. The world is not as peaceful as a girl expects. She must give something for what she wants, otherwise it will be a waste to others.
unfair.
Brando lowered his eyelids gently, not to mention that Nymesis was by her side, so there shouldn't be any problems, he could only think so.
"Then it's decided. Haruze, you are with us," Brando grabbed the reins again, and the little prince beside Prince Lenaret nodded to him quickly. He turned around: "Poetry
Miss Duo..."
"I'm with you too." Miss Scholar looked at Veronica, then at the Earl, and replied to them.
"Okay. Mr. Brende, do you have any questions?"
"As long as there is a horse -" the blond young knight, riding on the pegasus, replied proudly. He checked his sword. Like all knights with broken swords, he tied a dagger to his shoulder armor (this tradition is said to come from
There is a legend that when Gilt was fighting the Ghost King in the Black Tomb, he broke his sword and fought with a dagger to the death), and the cold wind made his cloak rustle.
"These summoned Pegasus will last until early morning tomorrow. You must pay attention." Medisha replied.
"This is enough!"
Brenda saluted Veronica, then nodded to Brando. He turned the horse's head and blew a whistle. The whistle sounded far away in the wind and snow, like a bird passing through the canopy of a tree.
Like the clear chirping of birds, the whole forest came alive. The dark team turned in the heavy snow. The Cruz knights left the road in a mighty manner, and many people began to move towards the forest a few miles away.
Looking around, the white snow was filled with dense black dots. But after a while, it became a small area and only a thin line remained on the horizon. Brund turned his head for the last time and signaled to them with his sword that shone with cold light.
.
He raised his sword, indicating a good omen of success.
"Don't worry, they are all excellent children." Veronica said, "Nothing big will happen to Miss Freya."
"I hope so. I believe her."
"Now it's our turn. The dragon told us there is a shortcut, and we are already walking on it?"
"That road is not easy to walk. It has to pass through the crevices under the glacier. Only the dragon has walked that road. Passers-by may not be able to walk where the dragon walks. There are dangers lurking under the ice. There are many from the mythical age.
It's just that Grand Duke Anlek is heading towards the Hibernator Temple, we must catch up with him before that."
"...Brando, tell me, what exactly does Enlek want to do? He has already obtained the Dragon's Heart. Why doesn't he choose to leave here and continue to move deeper into the glacier?" Veronica narrowed her eyes.
Brando did not answer immediately. He would rather believe that Enlek might want to kill two birds with one stone and use the power of the devil to open the ancient seal in the Hibernator Temple and release the Descendants of Dusk sealed underground.
However, he always felt that things were not that simple. Alec would not have known that what he did would anger Star, the guardian of this place. His intuition told him that Alec might have arranged a series of plans for this trip - but he had to expose it.
Regarding the other party's trick, Brando felt that he must first find what was really hidden in the center of the frosty forest maze.
Regarding Veronica's question, he just shook his head: "We will know soon."
"Brando, Shiduo is very familiar with such glaciers. She has rich geographical knowledge. She might be able to help you."
"No need, I am very familiar with this place. What I need is a guide with rich survival skills, not a scholar."
Peiya is such an excellent guide, but the hunter girl has become a little depressed since she witnessed her companions in the town being killed by Anlek. She cannot ride a horse, so she can only ride with Akane. She uses her hand
He hugged the mountain girl's waist numbly and said nothing.
The sky quickly became darker, or darker than before. The night on the snowfield was pitch black, without a trace of light, and it was impossible to see even one's fingers. No team could continue on the road in such an environment. Therefore, everyone had to stop and
We camped in the leeward direction. It was quiet in the direction of the forest, and there was no sound. We spent the whole night like this.
In the early morning, Brando finally found the 'shortcut' that Starkou said led to the ice crevasse. He finally knew why this road was called a shortcut, because it passed through the entire glacier blocking the north.
, Brando remembered that there was such a passage in the game, which the players called the 'blade'.
Because passing through it is as dangerous as passing through a knife edge, no one would choose this road if they were not in a hurry.
The next few hours were spent in darkness and cold. The team sometimes advanced along a narrow glacier, and in a blink of an eye appeared above the Ten Thousand Rend Abyss. The intricate terrain under the glacier was an eye-opener for everyone. But the biggest gain was
She was obviously a scholar. Whenever she had time to stop, Brando would see her taking out a small notebook from her backpack and writing and drawing.
The entire morning was uneventful. There were two blind ice monsters lurking in the ice crevices who wanted to attack the team, but Mephisto discovered them in advance and killed them with his sword. They should be the bosses in the nearby area.
Brando discovered that the Gray Sword Master could gain a lot of experience by killing monsters. But it was a pity that nothing was revealed.
There is no concept of time in the dark underground. Almost two or three hours after Mephisto killed the ice demon, the team came to a natural open place. At this time, Shiduo and Haruze, who were slightly weaker in physical strength, were almost exhausted.
Brando placed the torch between two ice edges, and then asked everyone to stop and rest to replenish their strength.
At this time, Aloz came to him.
The little female dragon pulled Brando out of the crowd. Pulling him aside, her golden eyes flashed with dangerous light. She stretched out her claws to Brando and whispered: "Brando, someone is here.
Follow us, have you noticed?"
Brando was startled for a moment, then a serious look appeared on his face: "I had a vague feeling, I thought it was an illusion. What, can you feel it?" Brando didn't lie, because some of the experiences in the game
.He trusts his instincts very much, which is why he stopped the team.
These glaciers and the cracks below were all caused by the war tens of thousands of years ago. No one knows what will be under the ice. Calculated according to the intensity in the game, there will be a boss above level 60 at most.
It's not impossible. In terms of combat power, it is equivalent to the peak of the law.
Although his teacher in the team has already stepped into the extreme realm, fighting in such an environment, strength sometimes does not mean anything. Brando has not forgotten how Andersa capsized in the gutter.
"Huh? You can actually detect it? I asked your Gray Sword Saint teacher, and he didn't seem to feel it at all. How did you feel it?" Aloz was a little curious.
"This is just my intuition, it has nothing to do with strength." But Brando frowned, vaguely feeling that it might have something to do with dark perception. Unfortunately, he couldn't wear the twin rings, otherwise he would be able to sense the lurker more clearly.
"Hmph, your intuition is quite weird. To be honest, I just had some intuition that something was following us. Didn't you notice that there are too few monsters under this glacier? We have encountered monsters so many times in Bista's lair.
Too much less.”
"Did you base your judgment on this?" Brando took a closer look at the little female dragon, a little surprised by the other party's attentiveness.
"almost."
"As for Star, he is a local snake here. It is said that he has passed through this ice crevice several times. What did he say? What is down here?"
"He said he didn't know."
"Do you think he doesn't know?"
"You mean he is lying to me?" Aloz was a little annoyed: "He didn't dare to lie to me."
"But have you ever thought about who asked him to stay here? He never said the other party's name, Aloz, Star just looked like a fool on the surface."
The little female dragon stopped talking. She looked surprised, and then turned angry. "Damn it, he dared to lie to me. I'll go find him." "Wait, don't go!" Brando grabbed her hand.
His arms wanted to pull the little female dragon back, but he didn't expect that Aloz's strength was so great that he almost flew him away. Brando finally managed to steady his steps and shouted: "Aloz, you go first
Wait a minute, I think Star didn’t lie to you—"
"What on earth do you mean, Brando, why can't I understand you more and more?" Aloz turned around and replied angrily.
"I mean, Star may not even know the other person's name."
"Impossible," Aloz immediately retorted: "You also said that Star is not really a fool. I know him very well. Although he is a bit stupid sometimes, he is a smart guy."
"I mean, do you know those existences?" Brando lowered his voice and replied: "The Guardian Clan."
"ah……"
Aloz was suddenly speechless. She stared at Brando dumbfounded. "How do you know this..."
