In order to find out what the extra thing was, Loen submitted a report on all the abnormalities within two months. It was obvious that the unknown thing had appeared before Salhi II and his party arrived in Loen.
Although the focus of the world has been on Nolan in the past two months, in fact, frequent abnormal events have occurred everywhere. The piles of reports delivered by special means can easily fill an entire room. After all, there are many more churches in Loen than Noland.
What Nolan lacks most now is the clerical personnel who look through the documents. With the efforts of the Church of the Sages, the suspicious points in the documents were locked within two hours. After comparing it with the larger and more complicated materials of the spooky thing, the truth of the incident was basically confirmed.
Although there are very few numbered items that involve space, there are many numbered items that have the ability to interfere with space. For example, almost all human-shaped numbered items can move within a limited space in the material world.
The monster that appeared this time was identified as A-06-2-4129 [Blizzard Ghost], which is the same well-known A-11-2-3046 [Victims in Blizzard] that Jenkins once encountered. The monsters in the snow field and snow mountain area.
[Blizzard Ghost] will only appear in blizzard weather. After comparing the weather records, the church determined that it appeared around Loen, on Tuesday three weeks ago. This kind of weird thing does not have a specific shape, but is similar to the greedy one in [Battle of the Treasure Hunters], it turns into a human individual with a body in a way that people cannot distinguish, and appears in human settlements.
The original ghosts will enter the settlement with the returning travelers who have experienced the blizzard, and then live with the travelers, and gradually improve the memory image in the minds of everyone around them.
It will subtly become a part of this settlement, and after confirming that it is completely stable, it will bring back more ghasts from the wild in the snowstorm. Of course, these weird things will not live with people in a stable way. Their appearance will change the climate of the entire settlement to a certain extent in the next ten years.
At the same time, due to the appearance of ghasts, the stability and prosperity of the settlement and even the mental state of the people living in it will be greatly affected, and the impact will be subtle and difficult to detect. [Blizzard Ghosts] will not directly kill people, but they can cause imperceptible changes in the settlement, until a complete human settlement is completely decayed over time.
This usually takes many years, so in areas with churches, it is difficult for ghasts to complete their final purpose without being detected.
When the number of ghasts in a settlement exceeds a certain limit, some of them will migrate with the travelers. Loen is currently checking himself. Since something left with Salhi II and his party, it can be seen that there are already many evil spirits in Loen.
And this kind of evil spirit is extremely sensitive to space fluctuations, any special space power will cause the evil spirit to counterattack in self-defense.
This is manifested in overlapping the physical world with an icy snowfield that does not exist in the physical world, causing everything around it to fall into the snowfield. Until all the living creatures pulled into the snow field are turned into [Blizzard Ghast], otherwise the area cannot be opened.
Responding to specific spatial forces can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous trait of [Blizzard Ghast]. The church's research on this kind of strange thing is mainly how to identify and prevent it.
Therefore, even if the general situation is known now, there is still no good countermeasure for rescue. The church can use some special means to open the space that cannot be opened, but no one knows what is going on inside.
Jenkins read the documents carefully, then put the documents on the table casually, raised his head and said to Miss Stress who was standing on the other side of the table:
"Since it is ice and snow... I think this is probably fate hinting at me... You are responsible for opening a temporary gap, and I will enter it to start the rescue."
No one thinks that believers in lies are saints who risk their own death to rescue people they don't even know. But they also did not link him to Jenkins, but believed that believers of lies wanted to rely on this to get close to Sarhi II.
"Don't be stupid, I don't know what's going on inside, risking my life to bet on probability? Oh, I'm not such a person."
He retorted, and then asked straightforwardly if the church agreed with this collaboration.
Even if the church scratched its head, it would definitely not be able to figure out what this strange man wanted to do. The church originally wanted to discuss it, at least to find out the purpose of the lie believers, but Jenkins spoke very loudly, and Alexia in the other tent heard his request, so she made this matter known to everyone in the church. told Dolores:
"A believer in lies wants to save your father."
So Dolores also expressed her opinion to the church:
"Agree to the stranger's request, if I can't see my father, then you can't expect to see any members of Hampawo at the negotiating table."
Originally, it was possible to agree or refuse. After Dolores added a small amount of weight, there was no need to discuss this issue. The church agreed to let Mr. Candle enter that space-specific area. Considering that the situation inside is unknown, it is very likely that he will never come out after entering, so the church did not arrange for him to accompany him.
But the church also promises that if Mr. Candle does not come back for a long time, then the church will do its best to rescue him.
"I just hope that when I come out, you can bring Mr. Oliver's reply."
He said, taking the cat off his shoulder. Eyes scanned the busy people in the camp, and finally chose to tuck the cat into his arms instead of leaving it behind. Leaving the cat behind was something Jenkins would do, and he didn't want to expose himself by doing the same.
Of course, it will be very dangerous, but Jenkins is also confident that his cat will not be harmed.
Soon, a strange man with scorched yellow complexion and sunken eyes came to the camp, escorted by a team of night watchmen, holding a long and thin wooden box half a person's height.
He and Jenkins came to the periphery of the smoke group. After Jenkins' eyes caught the black aura around the boundary of the snow field, the group stopped, and the stranger took out a golden scimitar with a desert style from the wooden box:
"Only 3 seconds."
He said in Fidgetli in a very unintelligible accent, after seeing Jenkins nod, holding the knife in his right hand, and after a startling slash that seemed to split space—no, he really split space, With the help of the weapon with an extremely strong red aura, the continuous sound of glass shattering rang in my ears under one blow.
An unnatural hole suddenly appeared in the fog in front of him, just like the oil paint of an oil painting peeling off. The extremely strong cold wind blew out from the hole, making Jenkins shudder suddenly:
"What kind of knife is so powerful?"
Before he had time to think about it, he rushed forward and fell in together with his cat while the hole was shrinking.
Passing through the blocked space in this way is different from shifting to a strange place. The current situation has only passed through a barrier, so it is not considered a space transfer, and Jenkins will naturally not feel serious discomfort caused by the space transfer.
However, the whole person suddenly fell into the two-foot (about 0.6m) thick snow from a warm summer night, which is still not a very good experience. His body hadn't adapted to the temperature yet, and he jumped up like a spring after falling to the ground:
"It's so cold~"
The overcoat given by the sage was summoned from the spirit, as if warm water was poured from the top of the head, even the face and hands that were not covered by the clothes became warm.
"Meow~"
While Jenkins fastened the buttons from bottom to top, Chocolate poked out his little furry head from the collar. The small pricked ears pressed against Jenkins' chin, but Chocolate didn't care, but stared wide-eyed at the snowy field in front of him.
"You have to be careful not to leave your clothes, or a random gust of wind can freeze you into a small ice lump."
This is not a joke to scare the cat deliberately. The temperature in this snow field must be below minus 30 degrees. Just the low temperature is enough to kill, not to mention, the inexplicable spirits permeating the space, directly transport the chill that penetrates the bone marrow and soul into the living body.
The overcoat given by the sage really helped a lot. Otherwise, just using flames and spirits to resist the cold would be strenuous enough, not to mention that in the event of a battle, even a trace of coldness that makes the joints sluggish may lead to more serious consequences.
"Meow~"
The cat rubbed Jenkins' chin with its small ears, then retracted its head as if bored with the white scenery in front of it, curled up on Jenkins' chest and stopped moving.
Jenkins looked at the sight in front of him. There was such a strange environment, and it was a space "beyond the material world", which made him unconsciously think of the "Shadow Kingdom" he went to last fall.
This is probably the kingdom of the master of winter [Lord of Winter]. He had dealt with this master once, and that happened in Loen this winter. Ice cap, together against the [Frost Legion] that has become a disaster. On the way, he encountered the ice and snow palace, learned about the past of the Stuart family, and obtained all the Baibing Wuqi.
"I don't know what will happen this time... In such a cold weather, Salhi II wouldn't have been frozen to death, right?"
This is not impossible, but highly probable. For whatever reason, Jenkins wanted to save him, so he decided to call out the unicorn and fly high in the air to see the nearby terrain.
But the ability has no effect after being used, and the special space environment makes it impossible for the unicorn to break through the space wall and appear.
So I can only call out the high stool, and then sit on the stool and fly up. It was a rather disreputable way to fly, but luckily no one saw it.
