Chapter 522 (1/1)
As Gloria and Lyon are fretting about the lion's attitude towards rat man, let's take a look at what's going on in the wilderness north of Longji mountain. The wind and snow never stops here. No matter the devil lord or the grey robed wizard, it is difficult for them to leave their own traces in the white landfill of nature. However, this may not be accurate. The huge round hole left on the ice sheet has not yet been buried by snow. When it is covered, the soft structure under the snow may become a natural trap. Unfortunately, those who fall into this trap may feel a little bit curious in surprise. What kind of situation will leave such ugly scars on the frozen soil.
”Bang!” At the edge of the round hole, a small pile of protruding snow suddenly makes a sound. The snow on its outer layer is pushed away by the reactivated creatures inside, and the whole snow pile collapses completely afterwards, revealing the white things inside. It looks like a man in a robe, but if he is, why can't you see any breath coming in and out of his mouth and nose?
Cold, cold that seeps into the bone marrow. The cold made cheese unable to move his body any more. He wanted to cast a spell and send himself to a warmer place. But the poor mage could not feel his jaw at all. It was impossible to recite a mantra. Thinking, thinking desperately, thinking about the way to get out of this situation, but it's not easy. The knowledge that has taken years to learn seems to be locked, and it will not move at any time he calls. Soon, the mage, who had just regained consciousness from suspended animation, was on the way to real death. His thinking ability gradually lost, and his brain went to failure under the condition of cold and hypoxia.
”It's not good. I watched you walk on this road. If you die here, I will lose money.” The snowflakes began to dance in the opposite direction, as if they knew that the owner of the sound did not want the snow to cover up the brilliance of his throne. Cold, when the fingers beat the armrest, if it is not disgusted by the melting snow dirty their sole, the owner of the throne can make here as warm as the south.
”You...” The huge shadow in the mage's retina presents a strange twist and funny deformation, cheese eyes at this time has been difficult to clearly convey the scene in front of him to the brain. So for him, the words that let the wind and snow stop turned into meaningless chatter, and the ugly monster sitting on the throne also became a large and mixed virtual shadow, like a overturned palette. He tried his best to ask about the identity of the person in front of him, but he could not continue after he pronounced the first syllable.
”Has it reached the limit? Oh, no wonder. Using pure magic to defeat the Demon Lord in almost complete state is a small role, but it is still commendable. No wonder your teachers value you so much, and your potential as a caster is pretty good. For that, I really should give you a reward. ” The existence on the throne supports his fat head with one hand, and looks at the mortal in front of him with his head tilted. He had seen cheese many times. If he wanted to, there was no escape in every corner of the mage. As an excellent businessman, the ability to measure the quality of goods is necessary. But this time, he didn't because he was afraid that when he saw the essence of what he invested in, he could not help giving up, which he could not allow.
”But that's not enough. Maybe you are qualified for wheat, but you have to be cultivated into a towering tree. This growth rate is not good. So, it's not time for you to rest. You still have something to do. Go back, go back to the south of the mountain, follow the river to the city, face your choice, get your badge. This is your path, and I give you the right to walk it. ” The monster said, sat up straight, pulled out a simple and unusual stick from the treasure beside the throne, and touched the mage's eyebrow with a wooden tumor at the top. The latter's body soon began to change, the cold skin lost blood color gradually recovered, the pair of eyes without focus also gradually had consciousness.
”Go on, you don't have much time.” Wind and snow, after this sentence, began to pour into the vacuum again, the cold wind made cheese shiver. He pulled the grey robe close to him and recited several incantations in silence. A warm stream came out of his body. But even with the protection of magic, the ice field is not a place to stay. The mage simply identified the direction, hesitated for a moment between the grey tower and Longji mountain, and then resolutely walked to the south.
The reason why cheese leaves here directly without using teleport is very simple. He can't do it. The mage was able to bring edu from Xigu city to this place, relying on the magic signs he carved in the camp to prevent getting lost while traveling in the ice field. Now that the road sign has been destroyed, there is no similar thing near Xigu City, so cheese has to choose to return with both legs honestly. However, it may be a blessing from the palace or a gift from the devil. This time, the grey robe did not go far before meeting other people.
Frost guards, a team of about ten people, drive sleigh and are covered in thick fur coats, but the weapons they carry are still recognized by cheese at a glance. And those soldiers soon found the mage standing alone in the cold wind.
”How do you do, Mr. cheese, frost guard, Byron, on command of commander Jon!” This soldier named Baian was the first one to find the grey robe on Longji mountain. Cheese has a simple memory of his face. But this is not what confuses him the most.”How did you know I was here?” The mage didn't intend to use the teleportation signs on the ice sheet. He only had to do so after seeing the Demon Lord. In this case, there is no reason why the frost guards will send a team north of Longji mountain to meet them at this time. This is too coincidental.
Baian approached the mage a few steps. The cold wind forced him to speak something that cheese could hear. ”Five days ago, we saw a big explosion in this direction! The commander sent us to investigate! ”
That makes sense. Cheese nodded to show his understanding. Although he was surprised that he had been standing on the ice for five days, the big bang mentioned by byan was obviously the energy vortex produced by edu when he was killed in the world. At that time, the mage was forced to enter the state of feign death just to prevent himself from being involved in the dissipated energy. Unexpectedly, the explosion could be observed on Longji mountain. It even forced frost guards to send teams to explore.
Many frost guards have seen cheese. This grey robed mage is a popular figure in the small town at the foot of the mountain. As for why he was at the scene of the big bang? It's normal for a wizard to appear everywhere, isn't it?
”According to Hahn, you went through the sweet water and went to the valley with the knight of the strong hammer. What's the situation of the Kingdom now? Monkey, Mona and Elsa, are they all ok On the sledge, byan couldn't help asking. Their knowledge of the outside world still lingers when the boar returns with the people of sweet water.
”They All very good. The plague will be over soon. Please don't worry. Can you make it a little faster? I need to get back to the valley as soon as possible. ” Cheese is very perfunctory in answering questions. He didn't want to explain too much to this frost, and mentioned Elsa and their news, the illusion that the mage saw while fighting erdo would always reappear before his eyes. All this drove him back to his companion as soon as possible to confirm the situation.
”Sorry, this is the fastest speed, you have to What's the matter with you? ” When byan turns to talk, he is surprised to see that cheese sitting in the back seat of the sleigh is covering his head in pain. The expression on his face is extremely ferocious, as if he is suffering from some kind of huge torture
