One end of the underground passage of the House has been blown up by the fireball just now, and Jenkins can only go from the other end.
He could see Dolores' location through the aura. If it was on the ground, the two could meet in a few minutes. But here is an intricate underground labyrinth. Jenkins originally thought that this was the emergency shelter of the House, but the area seemed a bit too large.
After less than ten steps along the corridor, he encountered a fork in the road, and it was still a cross, which meant that Jenkins had three different choices. He hesitated and took out the coin from his pocket, but before throwing it out, he heard a series of exaggerated footsteps coming from the corridor on the left.
Turning his head to look to the left, in the darkness of the corridor, a pale young man appeared in the area that Jenkins could see. The other party did not have a magic monocle, so Jenkins was not found standing there until he came around the corner.
"Back, back, run..."
The stranger was taken aback, but he was immediately relieved when he saw that it was a young, normal man. He gasped for breath and warned loudly, and then ran into the corridor where Jenkins came from without looking back.
Jenkins stood still, squinting his eyes looking at the deep corridor. On the wall of the corridor beside him, hoarfrost spread out from the darkness, the temperature dropped rapidly, and a deep beast-like roar came from the darkness.
Jenkins saw a strange humanoid creature running out from the depths of the corridor at an extremely fast speed. It was at least three feet tall, tall and mostly white-haired, and looked like a white-haired orangutan. And with its appearance, Hoarfrost spread toward this fork in the road at an even faster speed.
"Roar~"
The monster should also have dark vision, and it spotted Jenkins in the distance, so it rushed over with its head down.
"snowman?"
Jenkins thought suspiciously, and stretched out his hand to easily touch the monster's head, making it stop in place. Then the flames flowed from the wrist, and the creature in front of him screamed and tried to back away, but the flames had already entangled it.
In a few seconds, it melted into a puddle of snow water, and the surrounding temperature stopped its downward trend.
At this moment, the man who ran into the dead end quickly ran out in a panic, holding a stone as a weapon in his hand. He tiptoed along the wall, making sure there were no monsters before he dared to come out from the corner.
He was afraid of Jenkins, because the flames were still turning in Jenkins' hands. When Jenkins looked at him, the man collapsed under the stone wall, his hands and feet twitching uncontrollably.
Jenkins didn't know where he got such a great deterrent, but this deterrent allowed him to quickly obtain the information he wanted.
As Alexia guessed, before the two shells were fired, Salsi II, who was speaking in front of the House Square, had already got the news. The hurried man in the Master Chief's uniform interrupted the king's speech with a loud voice, announcing the coming attack.
When Salsi II allowed him to approach to report, the man took out a pistol from his pocket and shot at the king, and then the crowd who witnessed all this was completely chaotic. A few minutes later, two cannon shots killed most of the people.
"Sarcy II is dead?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything. My father and I, my father is Earl Fran, and my father rushed in with the crowd. Some people said that there is an underground shelter here..."
Barely controlling his fear, the young man who was still trembling wanted to take something out of his pocket to prove his identity, but only then did he find that the pocket was torn and there was nothing left.
But he was undoubtedly luckier than that pocket. In order to attend His Majesty's speech today, he wore an unusually cumbersome dress, so he didn't run fast just now. If Jenkins hadn't appeared, he might have been killed by that snowman.
"Then what's the matter with this monster?"
"Not long after the crowd came to the ground, someone suddenly took off their clothes like crazy. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard that the skin was festered, and it quickly became like this. People caught by this monster, It will also become this kind of monster. My father and I got separated and ran into that thing... "
There was no lie in these words, but Jenkins heard a different message.
"It can be contagious... similar to the Snowman... Didn't it mean that the Snowman Legion was blocked on the great northern ice sheet? Moreover, the Snowman Legion transforms living people, relying on rituals that humans cannot analyze and the power of the Snowman Legion, rather than this kind of biochemical crisis. form."
The current leads are not enough, Jenkins needs to gather further leads, so keep going. Of course, the noble youth would not follow Jenkins, and Jenkins could only let him find a place to take refuge on his own.
At the same time, Jenkins also knew that the bombed corridor was one of the exits leading to the ground, and the man walked this way because he wanted to escape back to the ground.
Continuing to walk along the tomb-like corridor, relying on the layer of hoarfrost on the wall that has not faded, Jenkins went directly to trace the origin of the snowman monster. After walking for five minutes, he came to a hall. Several corpses apparently trampled to death were scattered in the hall. Fragments of clothes and unpaired shoes could also be found.
This should be the place where the snowman monster first appeared, as the noble youth said just now.
At this moment, the hall is not empty except for the corpse. In the very center of it, a huge ice-blue crystal is suspended in the air. A roll of parchment was vaguely seen sealed in the crystal, and the dazzling spiritual light almost illuminated the entire hall.
"Isn't this the contract that Alexia mentioned?"
Jenkins thought in disbelief that he took a step and wanted to enter the hall, but as soon as his feet entered the hall, an extremely cold force rushed directly from his toes to his body.
"Oops, careless!"
His whole body froze in place, and the ice extended from his toes to his whole body. With the strange crackling sound, the thick layer of ice wrapped it up. The translucent solid ice presents a human shape, and Jenkins inside is vaguely facing the ice crystals in the hall, with a surprised expression on his face.
Fifteen minutes later, the sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps came from a distance, and the scattered gunshots also showed the panic of the people.
People in a hurry appeared from the other end of the corridor, and the first to approach here amidst the gunfire were two well-trained guards. Although they were surprised by the ice sculpture at the end of the passage, they were relieved to find that there was no snowman here.
