Xiang En and Andrea prepared for their early departure for three days. They made shoes for walking on the snow and spliced two sleds with wooden boards.
I packed pots and pans, brought dried meat and bacon, a kettle and a water bag.
This time, Xiang En couldn't avoid physical activities. He had to drag a small sled with various totems carved by him.
During the three months he stayed underground, Xiang En squeezed his magic power all the time. He had to squeeze it when practicing skills, and when he got tired, he had to be squeezed by Andrea.
The magic power content has been significantly improved, and the magic power condensed crystal has reached three-fifths of the heart position, which can be called silver intermediate level.
Most of the skills have been upgraded to full level, and the trap totems are so generous that one can be carved and burned. This is the first totem skill that has been upgraded to full level 5.
The effect is that after an unmarked target enters a two-meter trigger range, it will cause dizziness within a twenty-meter diameter range. The target's mental power must not exceed three times Xiang En's. The duration of being fixed in a certain place is also extended to 48 hours. The stealth ability is obtained. strengthened again.
Including the full level of the fingering skill, Xiang En now has 16 skill points, which is quite generous. It is enough to exchange for two top-notch effect skills in the silver stage.
However, facing the dazzling redemption list, Xiang En found it difficult to make up his mind to redeem it. With more choices, there were more ideas.
Most skills can play an important role when necessary. It is precisely because each skill seems to be very important that Xiang En has trouble choosing.
After thinking about it for a long time, he only spent 7 skill points to exchange for the silver high-level totem, the magic eye.
The effect is to restore 1% of the caster's magic power every second to the marked target within the totem range, with a range of 20 meters in diameter and a duration of 30 seconds.
This totem is no longer a percentage recovery, but a percentage of Xiang En's magic content.
Although Xiang En does not have much offensive ability, as a spell caster, the magic power carried in his body is more than a star and a half higher than Andrea, who is a warrior professional.
His 1% is equivalent to Andrea's 6%.
With the magic eye inserted and supplemented by the Awakening Technique, Andrea can use her magic power without restraint.
The only pity is that there is no Adventurer Guild anymore and there is no way to buy skill scrolls. Andrea will only learn the basic skills from the academy now.
The day of departure has arrived.
"Let's go..."
Xiang En greeted Andrea, and together with her, they left the village where they had lived for more than half a year and said goodbye to this wonderful experience.
After walking out of the village together, Andrea looked back at the snow-covered village, with extremely complicated emotions in her eyes.
What I experienced here was so unexpected, everything was basically contrary to common sense.
Seeing her stop, Xiang En also looked at the village with a complicated look. He still couldn't understand why the villagers gave up their lives and chose to commit suicide to escape.
The so-called doomsday doesn't seem that scary... Both of them are still alive and well, and the world has not collapsed because of this, but the winter has become colder.
It was difficult for him to answer these questions, just as it was difficult for modern people to understand the worship of gods by ancient people.
Just like the Chinese people cannot understand the Crusades, different people in different eras have different ways of looking at the world.
What affects people is ultimately the environment. In this world with mysterious power, powerful people represent authority, and personal prestige will be elevated to unimaginable heights. If those people say that the end is coming, they will indeed Create a powerful effect.
After finishing the silent farewell, Andrea looked forward again, smiled at En, and said softly: "Let's go."
Xiang En nodded, pulled up the towel wrapped around his mouth and nose, pulled the rope, and drove the heavy sled forward.
Andrea, who was lagging behind, walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Xiang En, and walked side by side.
Both of them had a wide wooden board tied to their feet to support them as they walked on the snow. The heavy clothes and their high-legged walking posture made them look like two fat penguins.
Buried in the woods by ice and snow, this humble village will eventually be forgotten.
…
Xiang En was right!
The two of them were walking towards Greystone City. Due to the obstruction of trees and snow, it took them two days to reach the distance that could have been reached in half a day.
In the past two days, the temperature has risen again, and it is estimated that it has risen to more than ten degrees below zero. It was a little better when I was on the road.
When the two returned to the outside of Greystone City, all they saw was a giant snowball buried in snow.
Xiang En did not ignore this city where many people lived, but stayed outside the city and dug a hole in the snow on the magic shield with Andrea.
The two thought they could see people in the city through the magic shield, but after digging through the snow, all they saw was gray and white.
The inside and outside are completely isolated. The scene inside cannot be seen from the outside. They don't know whether the inside can see the outside.
After confirming that the inside and outside were isolated, Xiang En and Andrea both felt a sense of ridiculous distance.
In the same world, the living people inside and outside are actually separated into two different spaces by a shield.
Quite funny.
Xiang En did not smile, but turned around calmly and led Andrea towards the road leading outside the De Aier Province.
Andrea, who has no feelings for Greystone City, is even more eager to leave the place where these sinners live. The biggest thing on her mind now is to meet the prey and eat a hot meal of stew.
The indentations of the sled concealed the footprints they had walked, and the two figures gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared in front of Graystone City.
…
Greystone City's geographical location is close to the edge of the De'Aire Province, and it won't take long to leave the De'Aire Province.
Six days later, the two arrived at Michie, a small city at the intersection of the De Aire and Fiore provinces. The buildings here were still intact and the roads were smooth. Looking under the ice and snow, no traces of damage could be seen. .
The two of them had been sleeping in the open for several days, and as it was getting late, they decided to take a day's rest in the small town.
The snow in Michie City is much shallower than that in the village, only about one and a half meters high, far from being able to cover buildings.
There is no constant temperature magic in this kind of city, and ordinary residents have quilts in their homes. The two found a house on the edge of Michie City as a resting place, rummaged around in the house, and sure enough, they successfully found a thick quilt in a closet. , there was a slight musty smell on it, but neither Xiang En nor Andrea cared about it.
The heavy cotton quilt pressed on the two of them, which made the coldness of winter disappear a lot, and the two of them fell into sleep comfortably.
Bang!
Not long after resting, Xiang En was awakened by the movement of the trap totem!
"Huh?! What?"
Before taking a break, Xiang Enyou inserted a trap totem in front of the house to prevent the property on the first floor from being stolen.
But he never expected that something would actually trigger the trap totem. After all, it was still a low temperature environment of more than ten degrees below zero, and animals might not have escaped from hibernation. What other ghosts could be active outside at night
Andrea, who was lying next to Xiang En, was awakened by him. She stared in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something triggered my trap, let's go and see!"
Lifting the quilt, Xiang En quickly put on his clothes.
After Andrea understood what happened, she also started to get dressed.
Uh uh uh…
