In the Kingdom of Saxony located in the far north, the old King Rodlan waited anxiously for half a month after the departure of the Archmage Faron. Finally, there was news that the Mist Forest Investigation Team and the Court Mage Gray had lost contact. Special return message.
Under the escort of a squad of guard knights, Gretel and Reilis rode on the royal carriage heading to the palace. They left the misty forest covered in ice and snow and returned to Bellica Fortress. Gretel was finally relieved. Seeing that the student he valued the most was safe and sound, perhaps I shouldn't say completely safe and sound, the girl lost her entire right arm. Gretel has always felt guilty about Relis for this, but compared to her teacher's guilt, the girl is more happy that her teacher can come back alive.
Entering the majestic palace, Gretel moved slowly towards His Majesty Farolland's study. Along the way, Gretel didn't know how to face His Majesty the King. Her wrong judgment not only almost ruined the entire investigation. The regiment was destroyed, and the most important thing was that he could not bring back the important person of the royal family, Princess Luo Jie'an, safely.
"Teacher┉┉" Seeing Gretel's disappointed expression, Relis patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't blame yourself anymore, teacher, you have done your best."
Gretel sighed and nodded to her student and said: "I know Lei Lisi, it's just┉┉"
After saying this, the mage sighed, shook his head, and walked forward silently. Relis silently followed her mentor, walked through the brilliantly decorated corridors, and arrived in front of His Majesty the King's royal study. The guards in front of the door had already respectfully opened the door.
In the study, Grete looked at the old king sitting in the center of the study and saluted heavily and said: "Chengrete sees your majesty."
Upon seeing this, Relis Shafir also hurriedly saluted the old king, but because the girl lost her right arm, it was very inconvenient to bend down to salute.
"No need to be polite. I'm very happy to have you back, Gretel." The old king waved his hand to indicate to Relis that there was no need to be polite.
"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty," Gretel said as she looked around at the people sitting in the room. In addition to the old King Rodland, Rost Hubeisen, the brother of Princess Luo Jie'an, the third prince of the Kingdom of Saxony, was also present. There were several people sitting in the room who were royal officials and important ministers.
Although the old king's face still had the same calmness as before, his expression was still full of anxiety from time to time. Prince Rost motioned for Gretel and Leilis to take their seats and said softly: "Teacher Gretel, for my sister Luo Jie'an I, Although it is worrying, there are more important things to do now about the Forest of Mist. Your Majesty has received some information from Master Faron, but it is not comprehensive enough, so please be sure to tell us about the Forest of Mist in detail. Condition."
Grete nodded and sorted out the thoughts in her mind, then spoke slowly: "Calculating, this is the fourth day after leaving Bellica Fortress and entering the Mist Forest, and meeting up with my student Relis┉┉ "
With a heavy tone, Gretel slowly recounted the adventures in the misty forest. The terrifying snowstorms in the misty forest seemed to never stop, the unusual density of the water element, and the animals and plants gradually mutated in the wind and snow environment. , met the silver-haired elf for the first time when setting up camp. Princess Luo Jie'an had a unique ability to perceive the silver-haired elf until she entered the outskirts of the Yanod Mountains and was ambushed by the ancient god and his subordinates who dominated the Yanod Mountains. Finally, she let Relis took the magic weapon and escaped.
Everyone in the study seemed to have experienced this amazing journey again with Gretel's narration. Gretel looked at King Rodland and Prince Rost, took a deep breath and made up his mind and said: "The silver inherited by Princess Luo Jie'an... Snow's bloodline seems to have some connection with the ancient gods who dominate the Yanold Mountains. Although the princess was taken away by the ancient gods, she seemed not to be harmed┉┉"
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
When the blue moon climbs into the sky, it means that night has fallen. The elderly King Rodland of Saxony is resting tiredly in his room. Today, the news brought to him by his most trusted court mage Grete is really real. It's so amazing. There is actually a god who existed in ancient times in the Yanold Mountains, and the overlord Garserik obtained the power of this ancient god two thousand years ago to unify the continent.
However, compared to the unknown past of Overlord Garserik, a historical giant, the most surprising thing is that the 'Silver Snow' bloodline, regarded as a symbol by the royal families of the Kingdom of Saxony, actually has some connections with this ancient god.
"What is the 'Silver Snow' bloodline inherited by the late King Rodwell?"
The old king sighed and murmured to himself, looking at his wrinkled hands solemnly. If the royal family's 'Silver Snow' bloodline is really related to that ancient god, as Luo Jie'an's father, he The same blood flowed through his body.
After the era of Overlord Garserik came to an end, various regions on the continent declared independence one after another, and the huge Perlas Empire eventually fell apart. Because of the huge influence that Overlord Garserik once brought to the entire continent, even if it has been transformed For the sake of history, it is not recognized by the two major religions, the Holy See and the Holy City, but privately there are still many nobles and kings who have inherited the blood pride of the Overlord Era. Compared with the Creses and Kalsemmen empires, which were independent from the central region of the Perras Empire and had a long history and noble bloodlines, the Saxon Kingdom founded in the far north was incomparable in terms of history and pedigree. Than.
The bloodline of the ancient gods!
If an ordinary person suddenly discovered that he had the blood of a god, he would definitely be ecstatic, but the old king was more worried. The Holy See, which has huge influence in the eastern part of the continent, would not recognize anyone other than God the Father. Due to the existence of other gods, in the two thousand years since the end of the Overlord Age, several religious wars have been launched against the holy cities in the west that believe in the five supreme gods, and countless non-believers have been accused of heresy and devil worship. The stake.
The sudden appearance of the Ancient God in the Yanold Mountains will definitely trigger heresy punishment from the Holy See. If word spreads that the Saxon royal family has inherited the bloodline of the Ancient God, it may cause unimaginable serious consequences.
While the old king was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the voice of Prince Rost came in.
"Father, can I come in?"
The old king's thoughts were interrupted, and after a short rest, Rodlan said in a low voice: "Come in."
Even though the king was his father, Rost still did not dare to appear too casual in court etiquette. After getting his father's permission, Prince Rost gently opened the door and walked in.
After greeting His Majesty the King's own father who was sitting on the sofa covered with precious animal skins, Prince Rost looked helplessly at his aging father. On weekdays, the Og barbarians went south to plunder every year. The shameless threats, the Holy See's desire to fully include Saxony within its religious sphere of influence, all this has already overwhelmed my father, but I didn't expect that the sudden non-stop snowstorm in the Mist Forest would be the bigger crisis┉┉Or maybe it was Opportunities┉┉
"Father, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Rost said apologetically.
"What's the matter?" The old king waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Rost took a breath and asked with a concerned tone: "I am very worried about Luo Jie'an's safety."
===============================
Yalin ran quickly on the rock wall. The clone formed by the ice crystals could change the density structure according to his own will to determine its weight. With the help of magic to cut off the gravity factor, even the vertical and steep rock walls now seemed like flat ground.
"Is there no problem with receiving the picture?" Yalin asked as he took out a purple jade while flying. The jade was really capable of emitting a soft light and projecting the image in the administrative hall of Ulduar City.
The figures of Medea, Schneizel, Shumu Suzaku and others were revealed in the image. Although it was a little blurry, it was still vaguely distinguishable: "Master can be accepted."
"Senior Yalin, can you see us?"
Although no one was seen, Tohsaka Rin's voice came from the crystal.
"It's acceptable. This thing works really well."
Twin Purple Flame Jade, a magic tool made by mixing amethyst and jade. Yalin found this tool for long-distance communication in the memory of the White Dragon King, and wrote down the production process and detailed magic. After carving the pattern, the research team led by Medea quickly produced several samples, and one of them was in his hand.
According to the judgment, Yalin has confirmed that he has arrived at the depth of more than 3,000 meters underground. After entering the deepest part of the mine tunnel, Yalin discovered an excavated road leading to the depths of the underground, which was cleared with the power of frost. After killing some of the remaining monsters inside, Yalin came to an abyss with no bottom through this road. What was strange was that in the center of the abyss, there was a huge stone pillar hanging down from above, as if supporting the top of the cave and the ground. However, there is a road that was dug out by humans and extends downward in a spiral shape on the stone pillar.
Yalin didn't want to waste time running around the spiral road, so he simply ran down the rock wall.
Along the way, Yalin saw several new types of monsters. One of them was like a giant worm, with many open mouths and extremely sharp teeth. These monsters have extremely strong camouflage capabilities and are all gray in color. Just like ordinary rocks, after seeing Yalin's arrival, they hid on the stone wall calmly and waited for the opportunity to prey. However, Yalin's perception and mental detection abilities had discovered them long ago and used the power of frost to make them. He walked onto an icy road, and the skateboard with its sharp edges rushed straight down, cutting these monsters into two pieces directly from the middle.
There is no fear and no understanding of death, only the most basic primitive instinct of living things! I don't understand why 'Panda' does these damn things.
This is Yalin's evaluation of these creatures. It is a fact that they are not afraid. The unique dragon power of the giant dragon is enough to make any creature in the world run away out of fear, but these creatures have no such behavior at all. It seems that they can only capture There is no other thought except eating. Even if they are killed in batches by the power of frost, they will still come in a steady stream until the last one is eliminated.
Suddenly Yalin stopped running, lightly jumped forward and fell directly from the sky. Although there is no light, it does not affect Yalin's vision. From here, Yalin can already see the ground below. It seems that this is the lowest end of the cave abyss. It is estimated that the depth here is almost five thousand meters.
"Okay, it's finally over." Yalin said happily, but when his feet touched the ground, Yalin became confused because the ground seemed a little soft, as if he had stepped on a carpet.
And when Yalin was confused, a lump of earth formed on the ground behind him and began to rise. Suddenly, the lump of earth split from the middle, revealing a big blood-red mouth, like a Venus flytrap. He shot towards Yalin fiercely, trying to sandwich the prey in front of him and tear it to pieces with his fangs that were in the form of hooks.
Now Yalin's agility and reflexes were extraordinary. Yalin quickly turned around and formed claws with his fingers to directly face the attacking monster. The White Dragon King's powerful power instantly tore the monster apart from the middle and quickly Its body was frozen, and when the monster's completely frozen body was scattered powerlessly on the ground, it turned into countless fragments.
However, the monster had not yet ended its direct attack. In an instant, bags of earth continued to bulge on the ground around Yalin. The monsters opened their terrifying mouths and surrounded Yalin, and the ground where Yalin was standing also The lumps of earth quickly grew and entangled his feet.
Even so, Yalin did not panic, and said as if he suddenly realized: "So that's it, no wonder I didn't feel it."
The surrounding monsters ejected one after another, and Yalin quickly gathered a huge amount of ice power in his hands, but the target of the attack was not the monsters attacking him but the ground under his feet.
The moment the power of frost hit the ground, the entire ground shook like a wave and made a shrill cry. The ground suddenly changed from earthy gray to black, and the ice quickly froze the ground and continued to It wasn't until the blood-curdling screams ended that the ice crystals stopped spreading.
According to Nemo's explanation, the ground is a mimicry of a strange alien creature. This creature is not just one, but a collection of countless special microorganisms. These microorganisms are usually in a sleeping state and spread out on the ground to camouflage themselves. Once prey falls on them, they will immediately wake up, kill the prey by imitating a sharp knife-like body, and slowly digest the prey that died on themselves. It can be said that these microorganisms are very scary monsters, and they are existences that many monsters in this cave dare not approach. Generally speaking, once you enter the territory of these microorganisms, your life is at stake. After all, swords cannot touch tiny organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. However, Yalin's ice power can freeze these microorganisms and make them lose their vitality.
Yalin casually mentioned a monster that was frozen in front of him. To be honest, these microorganisms are really special. When these creatures are sleeping, their life reactions are very weak, just like ordinary bacteria, so he can't feel them. exist.
"How strange." Yalin frowned and muttered to himself: "The brightness here seems to have increased a bit."
Turning off his night vision, Yalin found a faint light not far away, like a tiny light like a firefly. But for Yalin, being able to see the light in the dark underground more than 5,000 meters deep was already exciting. Yalin quickly ran towards the light.
As Yalin got closer, the light became more and more intense. It wasn't until Yalin came to the source of the light that he discovered that it was some fungi that could emit light, densely covered in a huge statue that collapsed on the ground. Revealed.
"It's really Cthulhu, that panda guy." Yalin looked at the statue that looked like an octopus head in the bright light in surprise.
