Aliria gasped in the cold wind. She tied her scarf into a circle and covered her mouth and nose tightly, but she still couldn't stop the cold wind from the north from pouring into her nasal cavity. The cold and biting air made her feel uncomfortable.
Her mouth, nose and throat felt extremely uncomfortable and painful, like a knife tearing back and forth inside her body.
Norsca...is this what the northern continent is like? Aliria couldn't help but ask herself. It's not like she hasn't experienced winter before. There was winter in the Athel Loren Forest before. However, the coldest season in the forest is not the same as now.
Compared with this continent, it pales in comparison. Here, it is winter almost all year round, and wind and snow are as frequent as the fog in the forest, occurring every three to five days.
Elyria simply can't imagine how humans can survive in such an environment? Or, as the legend goes, the Norscans are not humans? They are monsters contaminated by Chaos? Elyria doesn't know
, she traveled with this team for several weeks, but still did not see a human village. This continent is accompanied by wind and snow all year round, and only the low roars of wild beasts echo in the sky from time to time. It makes people feel bursts of fear in the dark night.
disturbed.
At first, they landed from the southern coast, where there are magnificent coastlines and breathtaking sea views. The climate was barely acceptable. However, as they went deeper into the interior, the cold climate began to make them feel weak and fearful.
Before. After walking for several weeks, this continent still has no end in sight. It seems endless. The north... the place where the Chaos Demon first invaded seems to be endless. Is there any land in the north? Elyria herself doesn't know.
I know. This trip, or it should be said that this adventure, is the farthest she has ever gone in her life. In her hundred-year hunting career, the furthest she has only been to Kislev, which she originally thought was
It is the city of ice, the coldest place in the world, until this time I came to Norsca...
A gust of cold air invaded the nasal cavity from the gap between the mask and the headscarf, causing Aliria to feel extreme pain. Sick? Is this what disease feels like in the human mouth? There is no trauma from the sword, but she still feels the pain of tearing the flesh. There is one
In an instant, she recalled the warmth of her home and the wooden castle in the forest. However, the short-lived warm memories were extinguished by herself again. Aliria told herself that if she could not find the source of chaos, the days of peace would not last long.
Sooner or later, the forest will be polluted bit by bit until it is destroyed. Every time Mogul invades, the forest will suffer a devastating disaster and pollution, and some pollution has not been eliminated after a hundred years. When will such days end? The only way
Only by finding the source of chaos can we put an end to it all.
"Madam, are you sick?"
A guard's concern interrupted Aliria's contemplation. She looked up and saw that it was the guard captain—Varrick. Along the way, the dark-skinned soldier captain kept asking her questions and showing concern. However,
, Aliria has already read everything from his eyes. Men, most men among humans, are lustful. It is true that the guard captain followed her out of loyalty to the empire, but Aliria also noticed
Every time this guard came to show concern, his eyes would stay in places he shouldn't look at...
Aliria has been to Marienburg, the most prosperous port city in the empire. The corruption and corruption there made her deeply aware of the evil of mankind. If the power of order had not still ruled, the empire would have long been reduced to a hotbed of chaos pollution.
"How many times have I told you! Don't call me madam!"
Aliria asked dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes...ma'am..."
Guard Varrick nodded no.
"Ms. Aliria, may I ask, are you feeling unwell?"
The guards continued to care. Although the elf wrapped herself tightly in leather armor, cotton, fine velvet shirts, underwear, etc., her slender and elegant figure could not be concealed. In the past, all the men who wanted to secretly take advantage of her were cut off by her.
finger.
"No, I'm in good health. You'd better return to your position and help me guard the camp. We will continue on our way tomorrow."
Aliria glared at the guard captain fiercely and warned him to stay away from her, as it would not be his turn to care.
"Yes, ma'am..."
The guard took two steps, turned back and asked -
"However, our food reserves may not be enough to support us to continue moving forward, madam..."
"Then go hunting. There are wild beasts roaring under the stars every day. Don't tell me that you can't even deal with a few wild beasts."
Aliria coldly threw down the contemptuous words. Food has never been a problem for the wood elves to consider. They have unparalleled hunting skills. They can find food wherever there are creatures. However, this is
Norsca... The land is almost barren, and the beasts are not the ordinary animals in the south that are only slightly larger than humans. Woolly rhinos, saber-toothed tigers, mammoths... each beast requires dozens of people to work together to hunt it.
In order to capture...and those tall mammoths, sometimes it even requires a whole tribe to mobilize and take great risks to capture them. Aliria didn't know, she only heard about it, but never saw it. And she herself
, it’s not that she is unwilling to hunt, but that her body... is indeed failing. The cold has taken away her health. As the captain of the guard can see, the female elf is very weak. In the forest in the south of the empire, she is alone.
Pick up the Minotaur's wanderer, but in the northern wilderness, she won't be any more powerful than an ordinary human officer.
If it weren't for Emperor Louis Bird's order, these soldiers would not be willing to follow such a crazy elf north to Norsca, which is the territory of the barbarians...
However, even though the female elf was so weak, everyone present did not kill her or betray her idea. Because it was the emperor's direct order to assist the female elf in going north... They were not mercenaries... they were the emperor's direct guards.
That silver horn is a symbol of authority. Emperor Louis Bird handed the horn to the female elf, which everyone can see clearly. The choice...if there is a choice...
"Madam..." Guard Varrick hesitated, "The herd is nowhere to be found. They seem to be not far away, but they are elusive. Every time we want to approach them, they suddenly disappear. When we give up tracking
, they appeared again. I really doubt that it was an ordinary herd..."
After hearing this, Aliria waved her hand and signaled the guards to return to their posts. She was really tired, cold, and weak. She raised her slender hand and touched the tip of her nose. It was as cold as ice cubes.
