A very quiet night passed.
If you meet other travelers in the wilderness, if you can communicate and there is no obvious hostility, you can still get along to some extent. Just as Sauron was willing to accept Aladdin on the road, the performers of the Phantom Circus also temporarily accepted him to stay next to him for a night after they felt that he was not in any danger. Faith in this world is more effective than moral constraints. Of course, it is the woman who did not show up in the carriage who really spoke. She is the real core of the circus.
As for why Sauron was convinced that the inside was a woman, it was mainly because of the decoration of the carriage, the faint fragrance, and a legend he had heard before. It is said that there is a sea witch in the Phantom Circus. No one knows what this sea witch is. Some people speculate that she is of sea monster blood, and some people speculate that she is a sea witch. Anyway, there are many guesses, but few people know the real answer. The performance fee of the Phantom Circus is high, and these people need to spend at least five or six thousand Kindlers.
Among most organizations like circuses, song and dance troupes, and performance troupes, the Phantom Circus should have a better reputation, and basically it is rare to hear anything criminal.
Sauron didn't know much about them. In the past, he paid the most attention to the most famous Darkmoon Faire.
There is a powerful god in this world called [Lady Silvermoon]. The Silvermoon Walker that Sauron met was her follower. The Darkmoon Faire is also an organization that serves her, but the latter is a hidden killer organization. They will Assassinate some considered evil targets during the operation. They represent the dark side of the moon. They are an organization that believes in a good god but is cruel and ruthless. Sauron had fought against them before he advanced to legend, and lost two fingers on the hand of a scary clown dancer!
Now he still doesn't believe that those murderous guys are really Ms. Yinyue who believes in the good camp.
There are often special advanced occupations in the circus.
The green-skinned goblin named Copper Plate was better. It was not difficult for Sauron to recognize its advanced class, but it was not so easy for others to judge.
The only thing that is certain is that many of them are part-time bards!
Their acting skills are not low, and their acting skills are quite good. When you meet them, it is difficult to judge whether the other party is telling the truth or is completely acting in front of you.
For example, that beautiful elf girl.
Acting, deceit, and intimidation are the three basic skills that the circus focuses on. Sauron has trained deception in it in the past.
The drow who trained Sauron at the beginning also gave him a sentence-"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills."
There are more than two or three hundred points in acting skills, and that is also a real power!
…
To be honest.
When Sauron saw this group of people, he really missed the specialty of [Sensing Words and Moods] that he had trained in the past.
The circus has night watchmen alternately. In the whole team, only the green-skinned goblin has not slept, and it has not stood guard outside. I couldn't eat enough, and there was a small pile of bones there the next day. It is the real security core of the entire team. It can detect Sauron from a long distance. This clown dancer advanced from a goblin is not easy, and Sauron is not very sure of defeating it.
Some outstanding talents will be born in mediocre races, and Sauron will not despise anyone.
In the morning sun.
The circus people began to prepare breakfast. They melted ice and snow in the pot, and the elf girl entered the carriage with a pot of hot water.
This should have been a pretty normal move.
However, Sauron still took a closer look, but he didn't expect to find something by accident.
The water was hot when it was brought in, and white steam rose from the heat.
But when the elf girl brought it out, the water in the washbasin was cold, and a wisp of ice floe could still be seen vaguely. Within five minutes, the hot water in the basin turned into ice water.
"interesting."
Sauron's expression was calm, and he pulled out the machete to shave his beard. During this period of time, he traveled all night, and his beard grew a little.
The copper plate came over with a bowl of hot soup, and glanced at Sauron's blade. The tiny fish scales reflected the light, which looked very delicate.
"Good knife." It praised and handed the hot soup to Sauron.
The circus soon started to set off, but the people in the big carriage still didn't show up, and the others were busy with their own affairs, appearing to be very well-trained. The burly orc drove away the pack animals with a whip, and mounted the other two carriages. It should be the animal trainer of the circus, but he didn't see other beasts, maybe because the climate was too cold to bring them here. A skilled animal trainer can tame a beast in a day or two, guaranteed to be more obedient than a druid's animal companion.
The group soon began to move forward.
Sauron also slowed down a little here, preparing to follow them through the Frozen Valley.
That place is a bit unorthodox, and the more people there are, the safer it is.
…
It seemed relatively silent along the way.
Traveling in this icy and snowy field, it is estimated that no one will be very excited.
The elf girl was still wearing the slightly revealing dress, and the tall figure kept coming and going, shouting and directing them to move forward from time to time. Looking at the traces of her footsteps on the snow, Sauron estimated that her agility value was more than 20 points, because there were only shallow footprints on the ground, and it was not known what special profession she advanced to. From the rhythm and movement of the body, Sauron judged that the opponent's reflexes and evasion were very strong, and the advanced class might be similar to the shadow warrior, but it should be advanced by the bard.
The ice on the ground is getting thicker.
The expressions of the others also gradually became tense. When a valley appeared in front of them, they took a short rest and began to speed up.
The goblin clown walked at the front of the team, looked up at the cliffs on both sides, and the position of the top of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "There is a possibility of encountering ice trolls here, everyone hurry up later, don't shout loudly, luck is bad." It would be unlucky to encounter an avalanche.”
There are cliffs on all sides, and the cliffs are covered with ice.
The elf girl stood on the carriage and looked up at the sky. Of course, it might be the top of a steep mountain. She seemed to have discovered something. If nothing else, it should be an ice troll.
There are many ice trolls here, and they all live on the top of the mountain.
If it wasn't for the lack of food, these ice trolls would rarely attack travelers below the valley.
"Sauron."
The elf girl lightly landed next to him, glanced at him and blinked and said, "It seems that you are also a knowledgeable adventurer. Since you know the legend of Arendelle, do you know why this place is called Frozen Valley?"
This is a test
Still want to know something from your own mouth
Sauron frowned slightly, glanced at her and said, "The real Frozen Valley is up ahead, but it was called Icewind Dale a long time ago."
"It is said that because of a legendary battle, the valley was completely frozen. The ice layer there is very thick. The ice will not melt all year round. People from the country of ice and snow dare not leave. Trade by sea after the beginning of spring. The druids tried to remove the anomalous phenomenon in front of them, but it seems to have failed, because there is special energy in the Frozen Valley."
"Be careful later."
"Elemental life may appear in the Frozen Valley in winter. Generally, no one leaves in winter."
"correct."
"The real ice layer in Frozen Valley is less than half a meter, and its hardness is about the same as that of diamond. If you are interested, you can try your own weapons to pass the test! It is said that there is some treasure below, but no one can cut through these ice layers."
Hearing Sauron's words, the others couldn't help showing surprise.
As we continued to advance, the thickness of the ice layer became higher and higher, and everything in front of us was almost covered with a layer of ice, and the road surface was slightly slippery. The elf girl seemed to be very interested in what he said, whispered a few words next to the goblin clown, and it quickly broke through the ice with a dagger, and quickly dug about fifty centimeters deep, and then saw a layer of light blue of ice.
clang!
Its dagger pierced the cold ice and made a crisp sound. The goblin clown moved his palms, as if he was a little numb from the shock, and then said in shock: "It's really about the same hardness as diamond! Why haven't I heard of it before? "
There is only a shallow mark on the light blue ice.
Sauron shrugged and said: "Actually, I also heard it from hearsay, but it seems that the legend is true."
Frozen Valley.
The thickness of the ice layer on the surface is not high, similar to that of other ice cubes. Below it is a special ice layer, which is as hard as a diamond. There are only very shallow marks on it when cut by extraordinary weapons. I don’t know how many people wanted to discover it at the beginning. The following secret, but no one has been able to succeed. It is said that there is something frozen under it, and it may be an artifact. Anyway, it has been going on for a long time. It was not until the end of the [Ice and Snow Rebellion] that the ice here suddenly melted.
The elf girl was obviously very interested. She stretched out her finger and stroked the light blue ice layer, then walked into the carriage and said something.
Immediately afterwards, the team continued to move forward, and the others also tried it curiously, and found that the hardness of the ice layer was really beyond imagination!
This is what is left over from supernatural abilities.
There seemed to be whispers in the cold wind, which might be hallucinations or real, but the voices had been there for hundreds of years anyway.
The people of Ice Kingdom believe that a mysterious witch lives here.
Some people have explored all the locations in the past, and there are basically no traces of human life, so the final conclusion is that this whisper-like sound mixed in the cold wind is either the effect of supernatural ability or the sound caused by the special environment. As long as there is a strong wind in Frozen Valley, there will be such whisper-like voices.
Fortunately, the distance here is not long, and you can walk there in half a morning if you speed up!
No monsters were encountered along the way.
Sauron noticed that only one of the three carriages was covered with a thin layer of ice, and it was the one that the head of the Phantom Circus stayed in.
From here they went their separate ways.
Sauron headed towards the glacier mountains near the Northland, and they followed the road to the seaside. Arendelle is a kingdom of ice and snow near the sea.
The eldest princess, who is about to ascend the throne, seems to be a Legendary Destiny Warlock.
If he remembers correctly.
After the Ice and Snow Goddess mysteriously disappeared, her magic power was still out of control for a while, completely freezing the nearby sea. In the end [Ice and Snow Rebellion] broke out, and the eldest princess faced off against the weak [Winter Maiden].
It seems that the weak god of the evil camp [Whiplash Girl] also joined in the fun this time.
