"Boss, they will be okay, right?" The cold air whizzed straight up Regnar's back. Even with the Dou Qi body protection, his thin body was frozen enough, so he seemed to be trembling when he spoke.
Annelotte turned around. The girl still showed no discomfort at the low temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero, and the cotton robe on her body was still as white as snow.
When he saw Regna, whose lips and fingertips were slightly purple, he couldn't help but be stunned. After all, Regna and she had different physiques. The temperature of -30 to 40 degrees below zero did not have much impact on her, but for Regna, who only had level 6 Dou Qi body protection and only wore a suit of leather armor, it was bitingly cold.
This was their third day in the frozen snow mountain. As they went deeper, the temperature continued to drop. Fortunately, everyone was well prepared in Snow Rock City, so the journey went smoothly.
But the accident happened two hours ago.
Two hours ago, they arrived at the location marked on the map where the first thousand-year snow lotus might have existed.
It was a cave so huge that it was bottomless. Maybe it was because of the special minerals contained in the frozen snow-capped mountains. The walls of the cave were always shining with a light blue light, that is,
Even without sunlight, the situation inside the cave is still clear and clear.
Since the cave was too deep and there was no map, Kordak decided to explore near the entrance of the cave. If he found nothing, he would leave as soon as possible. After all, it was easy to get lost in a cave with such a uniform terrain.
But just as the four of them were making a fire and preparing to have a rest, a three-meter-tall snow troll suddenly came out.
In the past, Kordak's team would never have had the confidence to hunt down an adult snow troll, but with the addition of the mid-level mage Annelotte, they believed they were strong enough to fight the snow troll.
The fact is indeed as Kordak expected. Although the Snow Troll is extremely powerful and physically powerful, it does not have very good magic resistance. Kordak was holding the snow troll with his shield, while Annelotte behind him was blasting the monster wildly. If it weren't for Annelotte's proficiency in water spells, I'm afraid she would have been able to severely damage her with just the scorching ray. That snow troll. The situation was originally good, but everything was completely broken with the arrival of the second snow troll...
When the second snow troll appeared, Kordak chose to retreat without hesitation. One was already the limit, and there was no way they could face two snow trolls at the same time. The next half hour is a story of escape and pursuit.
In the end, Regner and Annelotte succeeded in getting rid of the two roaring big men, but they also found that they seemed to have lost their way with Kordak at a fork.
At this time, the two of them had been walking in the cave for more than an hour, but they still didn't say a word. Finally, Regna broke the silence.
In fact, until now, Annelotte was still a little bit worried about Regnar's "peeping", but she also knew that now was not the time to get into trouble, so she replied:
"I don't know. Although the snow trolls are scary, their bodies are not flexible enough. It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of them with Kordak's mind."
"Ah, that's good..." Regnar rubbed his almost numb arms.
Annelotte stared at Regnar who was trembling slightly, and finally said with some hesitation: "Are you... very cold?"
"Ah?" Regnar was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay! It's not cold. I was used to freezing when I was a kid."
In order to prove that there was really nothing wrong with him, he deliberately pulled the corners of his stiff mouth to reveal a relaxed smile, but his eyes were a little wandering. Regnar had not dared to look at others when he was lying since he was a child.
A pure white cotton robe appeared in his sight. Annelotte had taken off her cotton robe at some point and handed it over. Now the girl only wore a light blue magic robe, and her beautiful figure was It is looming under the robe.
"Put it on," said Annelotte.
"I'm really fine!" Regnar patted his chest, indicating that he was in good condition.
"Put it on. If you get frostbite, you will be a burden to me. If you don't want to burden me, just put it on." Annelotte seemed a little disgusted by Regnar's insistence, and her tone suddenly became a bit harsh.
Regnar was obviously shocked by the girl's sudden aura. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, but still asked, "Aren't you cold?"
"I don't need it." Annelotte frowned, obviously a little impatient with Regnar's mother-in-law.
"Okay..." Regnar stopped talking. If the girl was really angry and left him here, then he would just close his eyes and wait to die.
The soft and comfortable cotton robe still carried Annelotte's body temperature, which made Regnar feel uneasy. And this is under the condition that the low temperature affects the sense of smell. If he smells the girl's unique body fragrance again, then I believe that under the dual effects of body temperature and body fragrance, Regnar's mind will be so disturbed that he will not be able to stop at all. the point.
Annelotte immediately guessed something when she saw Regnar's fleeting lewd expression. She glared at Regnar with some embarrassment, snorted coldly and strode forward.
Regnar, on the other hand, coughed twice in embarrassment and hurried after him.
"Are you really not cold?"
"not cold."
"Why? Isn't the mage's physique very weak?"
"I have a special constitution."
"Ah? Why?"
"none of your business."
"Hey, we are all teammates, tell me."
"I do not want to say."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so let's talk about it."
"If you keep nagging, please return the cotton robe to me!" Annelotte's little eyebrows almost stood up and she said angrily.
She found that the guy in front of her was even more difficult to deal with than Alex. Whenever Alex was reprimanded coldly by her, he would shut up in despair and stop asking for trouble, but Regna seemed not to notice at all. , His skin is as thick as the corner of the city wall of Meteor City.
Seeing Annelotte's annoyed expression, Regnar suddenly grinned: "Much better than before."
"What did you say?" Annelotte felt that this guy was a little nervous.
"I said you are much better like this than before." Regnar explained: "From the first time I saw you, your face has been expressionless. Although you are always polite when you speak, it always makes me feel... Cold. Look how good she is now, with expressions and tone. This is what a girl should be like... Well... "
Regnar suddenly couldn't speak anymore, because Annelotte's frown gradually relaxed, and her face returned to its expressionless look. This made him confused as to whether his words made her happy or irritated her, but his intuition told him that it was better not to say them again.
Annelotte gave Regnar a cold look, then left him behind and continued walking forward without saying a word.
Regnar, on the other hand, did not dare to say anything more and just followed dejectedly, so he could not detect the faint smile in Annelotte's eyes at this time.
"Oh, let me see, aren't these the two people who were in the hotel that day?" A familiar voice sounded in front of the cave.
"Deville!" The smile in Annelotte's eyes immediately disappeared.
…
Compared with Regner and the other two, the situation of Kordak and Vera was obviously much worse. The two snow trolls chased them all the way, and finally they were chased to the entrance of another cave. Just when the two of them were rejoicing that they had finally escaped from the damn cave, they desperately discovered that the opening was not on the hillside, but on the edge of the cliff!
There were two violent snow trolls behind them, but in front of them was a cliff of unknown depth. They were either torn apart and eaten, or they jumped down to take a gamble. So in the end, the two gritted their teeth and jumped off the cliff.
Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, Kordak and Verado imagined that they could dance lightly in the wind like snowflakes, but the evil gravity pulled them back to the cruel reality, and eventually they fell into the snow. In the pile, unconscious.
…
"Kordak, wake up my brother." I don't know how long it took, but somewhere in the seemingly endless darkness, an extremely familiar voice rang.
"Who? Who's talking to me?"
"It's me, don't you remember me? I just left you not long ago, wake up quickly."
"Wake up? Why? I feel comfortable now."
"No, you can't just sleep like this. Vera is in danger now and she needs you."
"Who are you? What happened to Vera?"
"She is in danger now. She needs your help. You have to save her. This is what you promised me. I asked you to rescue her from the orcs. You did it, but I also asked you to take care of her. She It's very dangerous now. If you don't wake up, she will die! Are you going to break your promise? This is not your character."
Kordak finally remembered whose voice it was, but he didn't expect that man to be so verbose at times.
Yes, I promised him to take good care of Vera. But where is this place? Where did his voice come from? Is he not dead yet? In this case, why didn't he come to save Vera? Doesn't he know that he is really tired now
Since he left, Kordak felt that there was always a stone weighing on his heart. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. Yes, he was worried. He was worried that he would not be able to protect Vera. He was worried that he was bleeding werewolf blood that was not accepted by humans. He was worried that after his death, Vera and Regna would be left with nothing to rely on.
So he has been working very hard these days. Neither Vera nor Regna knew that he had been frantically researching his information day and night before the decisive battle with Olwen, nor did they know that he was working for them in the bank. He had saved a huge sum of several thousand gold coins, not to mention how much pain his werewolf blood had caused him. Although he kept grinning nonchalantly at them, he was actually not happy in his heart.
It's still better than before. You can discuss anything with someone, and if something goes wrong, you two can handle it together. But now he is the only one left. He has to study the mission alone, study the route alone, and bear the pain of being a half-werewolf alone.
Kordak felt so tired and wanted to sleep for a while, even just for a short while. But he couldn't, and he didn't dare, because there was still a young man who regarded himself as the all-powerful boss, and a woman who had relied on him for seven years by his side.
If he relaxed now, he couldn't imagine how the two of them would live after he left. Therefore, we still have to wake up, we still have to get up, we still have to fight, we still have to work hard!
"Wake up, my old friend, you will not let me down."
"Where are you? Come back! Silenos!"
"Silenos!" Kordak suddenly sat up, and the snowflakes flying in the sky continued to stimulate his nerves, and gradually returned to control his numb hands and feet.
Kordak's right hand was still holding Vera's left hand tightly. When he turned his head to look, he couldn't help but look pale.
Small patches of scarlet caught his eye, standing out against the white snow. Kordak remembered that Vera had been scratched on the back by an approaching troll when she was escaping.
Because they were in a hurry to escape at the time, the two of them had no time to think about this. But now it seems that even if Vera was not seriously injured at the time, the long period of running away and the impact of jumping off the cliff could tear the wound into a serious injury.
