Just as Brando and his group started to leave, on the other side, Freya was struggling in the silver-gray forest. It has been a day and a half since they met Brende’s men and horses, but this can’t change their situation in the slightest. More and more pale children in the forest seem to be endless. In order to deal with these terrible beasts, they have to walk along. The forest fled to the northwest.
In the early morning, the scout cavalry ate some hard to swallow dry food, and the scout cavalry found traces of white wolves in the outskirts of the forest. The team had to move out again. Marquis Youxi and the monster seemed to have great interest in them, and they were always poor behind. Chasing.
But the most terrifying thing is that monster.
Freya checked Alea and another knight who was feverish on the stretcher. The wound on Alea’s neck had begun to turn black—the ice cones issued by the white wolves seemed to have some kind of curse on them, which could delay the wound. Heal time and accelerate decay. Freya has many wounds like this on her own body. She knew it well, but she didn't show the constant pain on her face.
The other knight seemed to be completely dehydrated. He just blocked the silver monster, as if the whole body had been drained.
Freya saw the human-like silver monster besieged by seven or eight Golden-rank Cruz knights, and his body was wounded, but it suddenly rushed to one of them, and after draining the flesh and blood of that person, the wounds on his whole body healed. As always.
She had never heard of such a terrifying ability, not even a vampire.
Almost all the knights of that battle stayed there, only this one who escaped back now. Later, in order to block the monster, the whole team dropped more than a dozen knights, even the female knight named Luo Ji. Also died in that battle.
She couldn't help but glanced at Little Pello, she only later learned that the female knight was his fiancee.
"The wind has stopped." Little Pello could hardly see any expression on his face, but looked at the tree crown that was gradually stopping shaking, and said such a sentence. This is almost the only good news in a few hours, but when there is no bad news, when there is no wind and snow, the distance of visibility in the woodland is farther, and the smell can last longer.
"But where on earth should we go, it is impossible to join up with Lord Earl and Legion Commander. The other party obviously does not intend to make way for us." Brende said, staring at the crude map drawn on the ground last night. , But within a mere two days, his cheeks became thinner, and deep dark circles appeared.
"Keep going north," Nimesis replied, "They don't want us to meet, we are just as they wished."
The others nodded. You Xi should be hoping to weaken the power around Veronica and Brando, but everyone present knows how strong the power around Brando is. In fact, they are not bad at all. . It seems that the main force of the Knights of Folding Swords is here, but the strength is stronger over there, Freya, Brende, Nimesis and Little Pello are very clear in their hearts.
Brando asked Brende to lead all the sword-breaking knights to leave, not necessarily to paralyze the opponent. In that case, it seemed that they were not incapable of scheming.
"It's okay, Marquis Youxi, the monster seems to be crazy, I don't know what it is for it to fight so hard." Brende glanced at Alea, who was dying on the stretcher, and couldn't help it. Said angrily.
But everyone on the scene turned their eyes to Freya. Freya frowned. Brende didn’t know it, but the person who was with her first knew that the silver monster was obviously charged. Their commander came.
It's just that no one knows what the bloodline of the so-called goddess of war in its mouth is.
"Senior Nimesis, do you know something?" Freya turned her head and asked the female knight next to her in a low voice. Nimesis shook his head: "I have never heard of the legend about the goddess of war, but I only know that this bloodline seems to be related to you. Brando should have mentioned it to you, but I am the same as him. I don’t know why the monster knows all this. I don’t know what it has to do with you..."
This is not the first time Nimesis has answered like this. Freya couldn't help but sighed anxiously. She opened her backpack and glanced at the stone slab lying quietly inside.
Brando once said that this slab would answer her questions, but so far she has found nothing.
Nimesis saw Freya lost in thought. She turned her head and said to others: "The sky is getting bright. Now that the movements of the white beasts have been found in the periphery, it means that they will appear in this area soon. We will continue to circle northwest along the forest to buy time for our lord and your corps commander. Do you have any other opinions?"
Others did not speak. In the previous two days of battle, Nimesis had demonstrated an extraordinary command level. Although it was not enough to make these proud young people admire, at least they also won their approval.
"I have a question," only Pello thought for a while and replied: "What if the silver monster catches up again?"
This problem caused the atmosphere in the camp to drop to freezing point. Everyone still remembered with lingering fears that in the battle last night, the Knights of Folding Swords killed nearly one-fifth of the knights, just to block the terrible monster.
Nimesis also seemed a little hesitant. Sometimes the plan was very pale in front of absolute strength. The silver monster had at least elemental strength and above, which could not be blocked by their golden ranks. "Let's take one step at a time." She could only answer like that.
But at this time, there was a commotion outside the camp.
"Stag!"
"Stag!"
Everyone is screaming. "What's the matter?" The young knights stood up at the same time, putting one hand on the sword and looking out. They saw Freya stood up as if she had been electrocuted.
The future Valkyrie looked up and saw a blue stag standing proudly in the forest not far from the camp.
This scene seemed to pull her thoughts back to the night of the year of the flowers and summer leaves.
The blue stag looked at the knight in the camp, posed a graceful neck, as if to signal to everyone, it turned around, and then walked slowly into the forest.
"Quickly, keep up with it!" Freya hurriedly said to everyone as if she was waking up from a dream.
"and many more!"
Little Pello looked at the forest, but frowned: "Your Excellency Commander, over there is the Hibernator Temple."
…
The heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the dark and deep space behind it, which looked like an obsidian passage. The cross section of the entire passage was trapezoidal, and the surface was covered with bright red fold lines. A layer of mist was deposited on the ground, but the cold wind rushing in from the outside to the inside as the stone gate opened, it had already blown clean, exposing the dark ground below.
Anlek climbed up the stairs with the frost, his eyes first fell on the skeletal skeletons on both sides of the passage. These bones are clearly divided into two categories. On one side, tall humanoids are wearing armors from their lifetimes. Those armors are simple in shape and covered with patterns that are incompatible with the aesthetic style of this era.
Most of the weapons used by this type of bones are heavy broadswords or battle axes. These dusty weapons still have the breath of the previous era remaining heavy and thick, as if every one is a god. Weapon weapons, but the magic power on them has long since fallen apart with the passing of their masters.
However, there are still some weapons that were fortunately preserved. After passing by these corpses, Anlek picked up a fighting sword. He injected a little magic power and recited a strange byte, and saw that the fighting sword became bright all over. , The whole body was surrounded by lightning, and the Lord Duke threw it at will. The sword shot out like a beam of lightning. It hit the wall on the side of the passage and made a loud noise, and then bounced to the side, pulling out a beautiful The blue and white fold line hit the floor again, dragging out a series of sparks clanging, and flying out of sight in a blink of an eye.
Dejar took a closer look and found that the place where the sword hit the wall did not even leave the slightest scratch. He couldn't help but changed his face and asked, "What exactly is this temple made of? The increase of the previous blow with the weapon is almost equivalent to my full blow. This wall..."
"This is not a building, Dejar." Anlek replied, "Milos fell here. Who built these buildings? Miner or Cruz? They can't make it, no, Milos. It is the subordinate god of Alvers, the dragon of rage, and this is his body..."
"what… ?"
"Don't be surprised. Why do the gods shape their image in the way that humans imagine? The myth of the Miner people is barely reliable. The Cruz people have never experienced the tragic wars of the ancients. What do they know?"
"They also pretended to be orthodox before All Things Return? It's just clowns who took the opportunity to steal the throne. Odin doesn't care about them, but we are not such fools."
Anlek's words echoed deep in this passage, and he slowly passed the bones of another type of creature, which were obviously wolves. But their bones are much larger than their offspring living on the earth now. The bones of these wolves are each like the bones of a giant dragon. The forelimbs are strong, with two exceptionally sharp long teeth, and the skull has an odd shape. The bone plates and long horns, these are the so-called ancient species, the first generation offspring of Esis.
Anlek admired these skeletons as if admiring works of art, but he did not have any extra attempts, but passed through them. The group of people moved slowly along the passage, followed by the Knights of Order of the Dead, who turned everything into one. Anlek looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked the wizards around him:
"You discovered those things on the periphery?"
"Yes." The wizard replied respectfully: "This is exactly the same as the record in the black prophecy, and it also conforms to some of our classics. Milos fought a protracted battle with Esis here, and participated in the war at the same time. There is also the Lord’s Second Legion."
"Second Legion? Is it a crystal cluster?"
"No, the crystal cluster comes from the 7th Legion. They attacked the Earth Wing on the Extreme Plains, and it is impossible for them to appear in the inner world on a large scale."
"Here should be the Noh race."
"Neng Clan, Esis, I am more and more curious about the name at the bottom of the abyss." Anlek couldn't help squinting his eyes, his pale face had already begun to show faint streaks.
"You can see one of them right away."
As soon as the wizard's voice fell, a hall had appeared in Anlek's field of vision. More bones appeared in the empty hall, but in the center of these bones, a moving corpse involuntarily attracted everyone’s attention. It looked like a fox with amazingly beautiful silver hairs. Floating in the middle of the hall with her eyes closed, if it weren't for her lifelessness, it might be thought that she was just asleep.
"Dark Kou Hua, this is the eldest daughter of Esis..." Anlek couldn't help muttering to himself, "I didn't expect her to fall here."
…
"My lord, you better come and see this."
After Brando slowly slid down a layer of gray-white ice from the ice layer above, he heard Metisa who had stepped down first yelling from below. He walked around a dense cone of ice and saw Medissa was half-kneeling at the entrance of a gloomy ice path in front. There was a figure lying beside the silver elf princess. At first he thought it was Pea’s brother, but he was a little closer. Only found out that it was not.
It was a skeleton, at least six or seven meters tall. The skeleton was wearing heavy armor, with its head hanging down, sitting on the ground against the ice wall. Its fatal injury should be on the chest. Brando noticed that there was a fist-sized hole in the heart of the bone breastplate, which was clearly penetrated by something.
"This is the skeleton of the Frost Giant." Brando glanced at the physique of the Skeleton and made a judgment: "It seems that Star has not lied to us. This road does lead to the Temple of the Hibernator."
"Are they the defenders of this temple?" Medissa asked in a low voice.
"It used to be." Brando replied, "This is what you want me to see?"
"No, there are more similar bones in the front. But not all of the frost giants, there are some strange corpses, even Miss Shiduo can't recognize them." The silver elf little princess replied.
"What kind, wolf?"
Seeing Medissa shook his head, Brando couldn't help becoming curious. It is well known that Milos once fought Asis here, but what else is there besides the corpse of the frost giant and the corpse of Asis Other corpses? human's? Improbably, Brando knew that the scholar lady would never make a mistake on this kind of issue.
He motioned for Medissa to lead the way, and then walked in, and soon he found the scholar lady with a puzzled look among the bones.
Shiduo was staring at a strange corpse in a trance.
To be precise, it was not a corpse or a skeleton, but a pool of silver, human-shaped liquid. This pool of liquid lies between the corpses of seven or eight frost giants, and there is a frost-blue fighting sword stuck in the body. If it weren't for this sword, others might miss this'corpse', thinking it was a pool. It's ice water.
"What is this..." Brando was stunned when he saw this thing.
