It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Ella regained some strength. She moved her body to the bonfire and used two magic spells in succession.

After eliminating the influence of the wind, the bonfire was successfully lit, and the orange flame illuminated an inconspicuous part of the long staircase.

Both Lily and Ashley quickly moved their hands to the campfire to keep warm. Before that, the latter brought the tin pot in his bag to boil water to cook some bacon and dried vegetables.

Ayla didn't feel cold. Although the court mage's robe, which was more like a dress, exposed a lot of skin on the back and upper arms, it was because of the power of magic.The wearer hardly feels cold, but this does not come from the power of the solar field.This mage robe woven from unknown materials can significantly increase the affinity between the wearer and the ice and snow elements.

This is a unique product of the Snow Country. It only uses the characteristics of the precious materials themselves and is not considered a real alchemy tool, so the side effects are very small.

The dress will cause the wearer's body temperature to gradually drop, but it is a very slow process, and only need to bask in the sun or drink some hot water to avoid adverse effects.

Lily tightened her coat. Seeing this, the female knight took off the cloak outside the light armor and put it on her master. After Lily realized that she still couldn't get rid of the cold, she simply shrank into Ashley's arms .

Ella took a cup of boiling soup and suddenly laughed. The scene in front of her reminded her of the first time she and Lily met.

One day, after leaving Uriel Village, she and the other party fell into a snow pit in the ash forest. The two of them cuddled together to keep warm.

Unbelievably, it has only been more than two months since that day.Speaking of which, even including the time that Tina took control of her body, it had been less than a year since she came to the Country of Snow.

Too many things have happened during this time, and the trip to the Snow Country is destined to become an overly vivid memory for her.

"Ella, I have something to ask you."

Lily said suddenly.

The firewood crackled and crackled in the flames, and the orange flames flickered and flickered.

"When we arrive at the temple, you will return to your original place... In other words, this will probably be our last trip."

This is a topic that everyone knows but hasn't touched.

"Miss Lily——"

Ashley reminded, but was stopped by Lily, she looked directly into Ella's eyes, her eyes were very calm.

"..."

Ella nodded wordlessly, and after thinking for a moment, she added.

"I still don't understand the reason why I came to Snow Country, but since I can get here through a certain method, it means that there is no absolute barrier between my place and Snow Country, maybe I can build a There may be a passage to and from the two places."

In fact, this possibility is pitifully small, even the unknown court mage, or the Snow King himself did not do this.

After hearing this answer, Lily suddenly smiled, which made the unbearable parting atmosphere a little lighter.

"Ella, has anyone ever told you that you're actually pretty sneaky?"

"Is that right?"

Ella was obviously taken aback, it seemed that Ling had indeed made similar comments about her.

At this moment, Lily flipped through the bag suddenly, and took out a well-preserved piece of parchment from it.

"Ms. Williams, in fact, we have an employment relationship. So if you really find a way to connect the two places, you must come back often, at least until the contract ends."

Ella smiled and nodded.

"Since this is an order from the employer, it seems that I cannot disobey it."

Lily was already tucked into the blanket, sleeping on her inner side to prevent falls during the night, and Ashley on the outer side for extra safety.

After receiving the reply, she continued:

"Then accept the next order, tell me about the world over there, and treat it as a bedtime story."

"...but where to start?"

"Just tell me about your own life."

Ella thought about it, and laid down a wool blanket on the stone ladder.

"Okay, but that's probably a...somewhat boring story."

"When I was a child, I was fostered in Uncle Henry's house, which was a big textile factory..."

"Textile factory? Let me see... I can't tell, it's like Wendel's tailor shop, but much bigger, and later..."

Her voice gradually became weaker, and only the steady breathing and the sound of the campfire were left here.

Chapter 69 The Abyss

Three days had passed after that, and with the passage of time, the expeditionary force entered the depths of the mountains.

Korn was a Calotine before he became a guard knight directly under the court mage. He was hired to protect the collection team into the depths of the tundra mountains.

The guard knights are at the forefront of the team. After the mutation, the view of the mountains is extremely wide.There are no forest trees to block the view.

The desolate ridge was covered with white snow, and Cohen followed the memory of the year and found a strangely shaped rock.

He put one hand on the rock and then raised his head, but a confused look quickly took over his face.

"Are the mountains here shaped like this?"

Cohen kept adjusting the position and angle, his movements were large, and he seemed very flustered.

"How's it going, do you still have an impression of this place?"

The unknown court mage came behind him leaning on a wooden cane.

Although she can distinguish human beings and all kinds of life through her spiritual vision, she cannot intuitively understand the terrain, so it is not convenient to move in this kind of rugged mountain foothills.

Cohen hurriedly stepped forward to support the court mage, and then hesitated for a moment:

"I don't quite understand, Your Excellency... In my impression, the mountain peak should be higher, and the surrounding terrain changes greatly, but the shape of this rock is very special. I did see it. over here."

"Enough is enough, the task of leading the way is over, you have done a good job."

The nameless court mage nodded slightly and turned towards the king of the Snow Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the prophecy we interpreted does point to this mountain peak, and it doesn't matter if the terrain changes."

The king nodded, motioned for the former to step back and rest, and commanded the army to move on.When approaching the main peak, there was a slight vibration on the ground, fine stones danced on the ground, and the snow was also scattered.

The forward scouts returned, and they found traces left by the Gug giants on the road ahead.This is the first time since the march that traces of creatures have been discovered, and this news has made the expeditionary army excited.

"Judging from the traces, the number of giants should be about five. It is difficult to find a bunker above the mountain. We didn't dare to get too close."

The Snow King stroked the scepter, and gave instructions without much hesitation.

"Hester, go and take a look."

"Honorable name, my lord."

The chief knight bowed slightly, he ordered a few scouts, and returned along the way they came.The gazelles equipped by the scouts moved swiftly under the mountain terrain, and disappeared in front of the team with just a few jumps.

The expeditionary army did not stop marching, and there was a violent vibration from the mountain not far away, accompanied by a deafening roar.

After only a few minutes, that direction suddenly quieted down, and there was no more movement.

The army set foot on the high slope. On the other side of the hill, there were several huge corpses with abnormally long hands and feet piled up on the ground. They were severely damaged, and their thick limbs were almost torn apart, as if they had been crushed by boulders or heavy artillery.

Hester stood in the center of the corpse with his sword in hand. After the army stopped, he strode forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the king.

"Good job, what did you find?"

The chief knight loosened his clenched left and right sides, and in them were several crushed lavender bugs. From their bodies, the structure similar to that of cold spiders could be vaguely recognized, except that the spider legs had become slender soft bodies like tentacles. .

Their vitality seems to be very tenacious, even though their bodies have been crushed and deformed, they still try to penetrate the tentacles into the seams of Hester's gauntlet.

"I found this on the spines of these gug giants, which are the same as those so-called parasites, just puppets."

"Before we got to the slopes, they seemed to be digging rocks and stuff."

"Mining rock?"

The king turned his gaze to the back of the knight. There were traces of mining stones everywhere on the hillside, and there were some simple but very strong tools or containers near the corpses of the giants.

The court mage left the carriage, she leaned close to Hester's left hand, and touched the insect corpses with her slender metal fingertips.

"Your Excellency the Chief Knight, in my experiments, these parasites are able to drive inanimate things... including metal, if I were you, I'd better clean them up."

Hearst clenched his left hand after hearing this, and the iron-black gauntlet gradually turned red and hot. When he let go of his hand again, there was only a little bit of ashes left between his fingers.

"If these giants are also puppets manipulated by parasites, then most of the giants that appeared in previous wars are also like this."

The court mage squatted in front of the huge corpse, but she didn't collect any materials, and her face became pale with blood loss.

"After losing my eyes, I will not be deceived by the appearance of things. The strong breath of death fills every part of their bodies. These creatures have been dead for a long time, and the time can be traced back to before the celebration... probably Before we know anything, the end is already brewing."

"Your Majesty, in the depths of this mountain, something blocked my spiritual vision...I feel very bad now. If I want to leave, it may be too late."

"Did you... see something?"

The Snow King's expression turned serious.

"No, Your Majesty, I am not a prophet...but the danger foreshadowed in the inspiration is too strong to be ignored...If the search for the truth will lead to destruction sooner, perhaps enjoy the last Peaceful time is also a choice, it is difficult for me to weigh the pros and cons of the two... No, I made a slip of the tongue, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The nameless person's body became precarious, and it seemed that a short inspiration had exhausted her severely, and a fine layer of cold sweat oozes from her body.

The Snow King personally helped her up, and new wrinkles appeared on his majestic face in just a few days. He looked very tired, not like the king who ruled the Snow Kingdom for hundreds of years, but Like a helpless old man.

"No, you are right. No one can say whether the two options are good or bad. Perhaps it is very stupid to try to defy the oracle... But I am not reconciled. I don't want to sit by and watch this country Destruction, the current actions are nothing but the willfulness of an old man, so, are you still willing to follow me?"

The attendant Senac, the chief knight Hester Hogle and the Honorable Earl knelt on one knee without hesitation,

"What your Majesty's sword points to is where our glory lies."

The court mage was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.when she

When smiling, people can't help but marvel that even without eyes, this unknown person is such a gentle and beautiful woman.

"Perhaps because of this, His Majesty is His Majesty—"

As she spoke, she also fell to her knees, repeating the vows of her followers.

"What your Majesty's sword points to is the glory of my concubine."

The king tapped his scepter to signal them to stand up.

"Okay, thank you very much for your willingness to continue to follow this willful old man like me. Let's go."

There is only a short distance from the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain seems to be cut off by the middle, and the pale rocks are covered with snow.
