In the middle of the night, Gerkat sat by the campfire and inspected the arm that he had chopped off. It could be said that the entire arm had been eroded by the huge power of the water element, and part of the muscle tissue on it had been converted into crystals. If this arm was cut off, Taking an arm to the Tower of Sages, I believe it will definitely arouse the fanatical research passion of a large group of mages and scholars.
Suddenly, in the quiet night, in addition to the howling of the wind and snow, a few more moans came out, and the sound came from the sleeping bag in front of Gelkate.
After hearing the sound, Gerkat quickly wrapped the girl's arm in cloth, got up and walked a few steps to the sleeping bag and asked: "What's going on? Is she awake?"
Maggie moved and hugged the girl, revealing her little face from the sleeping bag and said, "She hasn't woken up yet. She seems to be talking in her sleep."
"Very good." Gelkate nodded reassuringly and said, "That at least means her condition is much better."
"Chief, just now I heard that there was a name called Gretel in her words, and she called her teacher. Do you have any impression?" Maggie looked at Grete. said.
Gretel? Karette? After thinking about it in her mind, Gerkat clenched her fist and punched her palm lightly and said, "Oh! By the way, I remembered it. It seems that the royal court mage of the Kingdom of Saxony is named Gretel."
"Palace mage?" Maggie said slightly surprised: "In other words, this girl┉┉"
Gerkat approached the sleeping bag and squatted down, looked at the sleeping face of the blue-haired girl and said: "A student of Gretel, the royal court mage of the Kingdom of Saxony, since she appears in the forest of mist, that means┉┉"
"Did they go into the forest to investigate the snow?"
"Well, that should be the case. After all, the blizzards in the Mist Forest stop every summer, but this year it seems unusual that the snow doesn't stop even in the summer."
"Really?" Maggie looked at
Gelkate picked up a nearby branch and threw it into the bonfire: "Sleep peacefully, I will be responsible for keeping vigil tonight."
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
In the black dream, Lei Lisi ran on the seemingly endless snowfield. The ground was full of corpses frozen in ice crystals. The only purpose of her rapid running was to bring the news out of the foggy forest. On the way, Lei Lisi ran. Si suddenly fell to the ground, covering her head in pain, and Lei Lisi suddenly felt something wrapped around her feet. Looking back, the sight that caught her eye almost made Relis's heart stop. A dry and ice-covered hand was firmly grasping her ankle, and then a figure slowly arched out of the snow. It's like a dead spirit crawling out of the grave.
"Master Adis!" Looking at the face that had become like a mummy, Reilis still recognized the fire mage Adis who was holding her and getting along with her.
"Save me, Lelis, it's so painful, save me, Lelis!" He opened his mouth and said in a desperate voice, as if he had been subjected to endless torture, Adis said with dull eyes.
No! Relis stared blankly at the horrific scene in front of her, and at this moment, more arms stretched out from the ground and grabbed Relis's body tightly.
Ah! ! Relis screamed loudly as she watched countless people crawling out of the snow, supporting their bodies.
"Help me, it's so cold! It's so painful! Help me!"
Damir's body was covered with ice crystals, his legs were broken, and the eye sockets on his face were empty, but he was slowly crawling towards Relis, who was unable to move.
"No! Don't come here! Let me go!" The terrifying sight in front of her made Relis close her eyes and scream wildly, not daring to look at it. However, her body, which was firmly grasped by countless arms, could not move at all.
"Lelis Shaffier!"
The familiar voice suddenly shocked Relis. She opened her glasses unconsciously and saw a familiar but terrifying face. At this time, her mentor Gretel was looking at her face to face. The pale face frozen by the ice and snow has begun to rot, and at this moment, Grete no longer has the caring expression of a father to Relis. On this face, she looks like a twisted face that only the dead in the depths of hell have. , all there is is endless anger and hatred!
"Teacher Gretel┉┉" Relis opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the teacher in front of her, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Why did you leave me, Relis? Why did you leave me and run away alone!!" Gretel seemed to have lost her mind, her withered hands pinched Relis's neck hard and screamed: "Why did you You want to leave me, why didn’t you die, why┉┉”
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
"No! No! No! No!" Amidst the screams, Relis suddenly woke up and found that her eyes were dark as if something was pressing down on her. Relis, who thought she had not escaped from the dream, struggled crazily. got up.
"No! Let me go! No! Let me go!"
Before Maggie, who was suddenly awakened, could recover, she was scrambled by the struggling Relis. While trying to hold down Relis, Maggie shouted to Gerkat not far away: "She┉┉she woke up, she woke up chief."
Gelkate quickly ran over and looked at the emotional Relis and quickly helped Maggie suppress her and said: "Don't be excited! Don't be excited! You are safe now!"
Every senior mercenary was alert when sleeping. Relis's noise quickly woke up all the mercenaries. The mercenaries who got up hurriedly lit torches and came to Gelkate's side.
The powerful Gelkate and Maggie quickly subdued the emotional Relis. Maggie leaned Relis, who had stopped shouting, against her chest and looked at the girl who was still mouthing. Panting, her eyes glazed over as if she hadn't fully woken up from the nightmare, Maggie sat up and hugged Reilis, gently stroking her back and saying, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you are very tired now." It’s safe, don’t be nervous, trust me, you are already safe.”
Looking at Relis who was gradually calming down, Gerkat glanced at the mercenaries beside him who were staring intently at the two beauties embracing each other and shouted loudly: "Have you guys seen enough? Why don't you go and boil some hot water for me? You want to get beaten, don't you?"
After a while, Relis put on the robe and windbreaker that had been dried by the mercenaries over the fire. Unaccustomed to it, she borrowed the kettle with one hand and took a sip. Relis felt that just by completing these few actions It almost makes the whole body weak. No wonder, after two consecutive days of traveling without rest or sleep, she was exhausted and fainted in the snow. Fortunately, she ran into these mercenaries and escaped from the hands of the 'God of Death'. The struggle drained her little energy almost instantly.
After calming down, Relis had to face the reality that her right arm was chopped off by the man in front of her. According to him, if she didn't do this, her life might be in danger. Regarding this, Relis He didn't act too sad. After all, he had already felt the strange frostbite on his arm spreading upwards along the way. He had planned to cut off his right arm several times, but he just didn't have the right tools in his hands.
"Miss Relis, are you sure you really want to set off in such a hurry and not take more rest?"
Maggie sat next to Relis and asked softly. After the female mage named Relis regained consciousness and calmed down, and after talking for a while, she panicked and hoped to let the mercenary group take her back to Belika Fortress immediately, and It is guaranteed that the mercenary group will be given a generous reward after returning to the fortress. Although it was very dangerous to march quickly in the dark forest at night, not to mention that there was a heavy snowstorm at the moment, and the strange thing was that the leader actually agreed immediately, Maggie always felt a little strange.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Maggie, but the situation is too critical. I must report back to the fortress immediately."
Putting down the kettle, Lelis said to Maggie. After calming down and resting for a while, Lelis immediately remembered the teacher's last instructions and hurriedly asked the mercenary group to take her back to the fortress. The mercenaries naturally started Feeling strange and trying to persuade themselves to set off at dawn on the grounds of the danger of marching at night, Reilis kept persuading them and even promised them a generous reward after returning to the fortress, but it seemed to be of no use until their leader The man who looked quite young asked why he was in a hurry to set off. Naturally, it was impossible for Relis to tell her what happened in the Yanold Mountains. In the end, Relis had no choice but to lie and claim that her team was Belika. The fortress sent people into the forest to investigate the blizzard, but they suddenly encountered an army of Og barbarians on the way. Under the cover of their companions, they managed to escape alone. The tense situation was urgent and they had to report back to the fortress immediately.
Fortunately, the mercenaries were frightened when she mentioned the Og barbarian army. Relis was worried that the silver-haired elves would catch up, and she saw that these mercenaries already knew that the snow in the Mist Forest this summer had not stopped. , so they didn’t care about telling them some secrets. Because the wind and snow didn’t stop last year, the Kingdom of Saxony did not send troops to garrison Bellica Fortress. If the Og army crossed the forest and attacked the fortress, then the entire fortress might fall and the mainland would fall. Received the second large-scale invasion by the Og barbarians.
Lei Lisi was also relieved that their leader seemed to understand some of the situation on the mainland. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly ordered the mercenaries to pack up supplies and prepare to set off.
Gelkate turned over and mounted the horse and said to Maggie: "Maggie will let Relis ride the same horse with you later, okay?"
"Of course." Maggie stood on the ground and looked up at her leader Gelkate, and asked as if she was a little uneasy: "The leader is angry at me for taking the liberty of saying, do you really believe what Reilis said? Naxi said about Ou The invasion of the Ge barbarians."
Gelkate looked around and lowered her head and whispered in Maggie's ear: "I don't believe it at all! The thing about the Og barbarian army is just a lie she made up."
Huh! ? Maggie suddenly became confused: "How did you see that leader?"
"Relis mentioned her teacher in her sleep talk, Gretel, the Royal Court Mage of the Kingdom of Saxony, and even mentioned the word 'run away', which shows that she should have participated in this investigation team with her teacher." said. Gelkate gave up here, and continued to whisper in Maggie's eager expectant eyes: "I still have some impressions about Gretel, the court mage of the Kingdom of Saxony. He is a 16th-level high-level mage." She is a student of Faron, the great mage of the Tower of Sage. No matter how many Og barbarians there are with low IQs, even one of his students, a level 13 mage, can run away. I don’t think Gretel is a good person. If a level 16 high-level mage can't escape, it will definitely be a shame among mages!"
"Maybe her teacher could have escaped by finding another way┉┉"
"Impossible. Each mage has his or her own unique way of contacting each other, not to mention Grete and Leilis are still teachers and students. Even if they use the teleportation circle to escape, they can still find each other. No. Maybe Relis will faint in the snow alone.”
"Then why do you still believe her words, chief?"
"I'm talking about Maggie, Lelis is in a hurry to return to Belika Fortress and lied to us, maybe because there are some secrets that cannot be told. As for what secrets we, as mercenaries, can't control. But at least one thing she didn't lie to us is There must be something terrible chasing her behind her, forcing her to move forward without resting for a moment. Think about it, an unknown enemy who couldn't even escape a 16th-level mage, and also killed a 13th-level mage. The super mage is running away in such a panic, do you want to stay where you are and see what the other party is? "
The dark forest around was constantly covered with wind and snow, and the howling wind caused the branches to tremble. Coupled with the fact that Gerkat deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, Maggie suddenly shuddered, and involuntarily thought in her mind. Zhong Leo thought of some unknown legends about the ancient forest, swallowed her saliva, Maggie nodded hurriedly and said: "I understand the leader, we will set off immediately."
A team of more than ten mercenaries were walking in the dark forest with torches. A scout who was good at reconnaissance was driving the road at the front. Maggie was walking in the middle of the team, riding on a horse with Relis. As the leader, Gerkat bravely requested to be escorted to the rear. Although he found it strange, no mercenary dared to resist his order. Everyone moved forward at a very fast speed along the way.
And just as Gerkat expected, in the high sky far behind the mercenary team, five huge high-level elemental creature ice crystal falcons were flapping their wings, raising an unknown cold air, and heading toward a blur day and night. The marker flew away quickly. The huge claws formed by ice crystals are swinging restlessly, ready to freeze and tear into pieces the prey that is desperately escaping┉┉
