Chapter 18 Expedition Lost (1)
The heavy snow in the sky made Moya, who originally thought he would soon enter the Ningge border, crawling forward with turtles.
After leaving Kanamara, a unique basin with a different climate and terrain than the entire continent, Arisha, who is not used to the cold, once again appreciated the origin of the term Ice Crystal Continent.
The wind and snow that made people feel cold and roared, whistling through the seemingly endless snowfield, adding a lot of crystal ice frost to the already vast continent.
"... Cold... so cold..." The female thief kept rubbing her hands wrapped in fur. The biting cold made her face white and purple, and her words were trembling with trembling voices.
Mercenaries and merchants have long been used to this kind of journey, and although they are also cold and tired, they are not as bad as Arisha
"It's better to stay with Shadas. You will freeze to death in the weather in Arisha. The southern people of Heyin Vega are obviously not suitable for the climate here." Moya, who wrapped her whole body with thick fur, only her eyes exposed, looked at the thief who was already frozen and whispered, not understanding that the little girl was not following the Red Dragon, but she was going to come and suffer from her.
"No... don't let that old man be so authoritarian. He is not allowed to do this or that all day long. He is more verbose than the elders in my family." He shook his head suddenly, and Arisha stubbornly resisted.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity. Although Honglong didn't kill herself because of the inexplicable "Ring of Friends", she was still a member of the Sardin family after all.
Moreover, Shadas has a very irritable temper. He may not be sure when a person will kill her if he is unhappy.
Why not leave early. Now he accompanied Bailong to find the human who stole the dragon's power, and he didn't have the extra energy to care about me.
"Is it okay if there is someone who is long-winded?" Moya, who thought of the elf who seemed cold but always likes to talk and worry about his safety, has also relaxed a little along the way. "For whatever reason, the general representative, it cares about you as Shadas, which has surprised me enough... Cough..." He noticed that the mage Slin and the mercenary captain were both interested and straightened his ears and listened to the conversation between him and Arisha Moya hurriedly covered up the words that would make the Red Dragon reveal his identity, "I didn't expect that the most brave warrior in the legendary clan actually cared about people other than his compatriots. This is really, how to say... prove that you are very charming, little Arisha."
Moya knows that the qualities of the human girl beside her are so pure and so attractive
How many years have she talked to people without any precaution or peace of mind like this
Apart from Bilfit, she has never let herself trust humans other than her relatives so much.
Red Dragon Shadas, as powerful as you and as wise as ancient dragon, isn't it also fascinated by humans who seem weak on the surface but actually have the most magical powers.
However, I'm very curious
What is the power of the dragon?
Listen to the white dragon's tone, it should not be an object, but if it is not an object
If so, what is that
Spell?
Thinking of the sad look when Bailong raised the thief who stole its dragon's power, Moya vaguely felt whether the so-called dragon power was like the Blood Alliance...
I guessed what the power of the dragon represents, and Moya swallowed it back into her stomach if she wanted to ask.
Arisha is as pure as a piece of white paper, she can't know what the power of the dragon is
If it was as I thought... this trip to the north would be in trouble again.
Two ancient dragons and one human being with the power of ancient dragons
If there is any friction between them, it will definitely affect the small villages along the way.
Wait... Could it be that Shadas was worried about this that he would let Arisha stay with him?
This perception has once again increased the doubts in Moya's mind.
Friend's Ring, that is the protection ring given to friends by Dragon Emperor Orpheric
As long as you hold it, you can get protection and help from the dragon clan
Maybe other dragons will take it seriously, but Shadas won't
It is the bravest warrior in the ancient Fire Dragon clan and the oldest wise man.
It is considered to be the only choice for the next Dragon Emperor land
How could the arrogant King of Fire Dragon allow himself to be pulled by a small ring
Could it be that this red dragon that takes nothing seriously is like the white dragon and the silver dragon, and has special feelings for the humans who have no intention of breaking into its long life?
Not supposed to, Shadas
What you should understand is that the difference in identity and race is destined to be a tragedy.
The decaying humans and the dragon clan, which have lived together for a century, will eventually be cut off by the torrent of time, no matter how beautiful the friendship is.
When humans abandon their broken body, they only leave behind dragons that already have affection and righteousness. Isn't that a tragedy?
As the Dragon King, you should understand better than anyone else
The more we get along, the more we cannot leave
Just like now, I am used to the elf who has been standing by my side, and I am used to his existence
If one day I am the only one in the world, my life will lose its glory and motivation to survive
"Crotia..." A urging sound came from his ears, and he found that he was distracted again. Moya turned to look at the person who called his pseudonym.
Unexpectedly, I met several tired eyes
The cold wind made people's throat hurt. Moya coughed twice, and the strong discomfort has not dissipated since entering the snow field.
Even I, a person who grew up in the north, cannot adapt to the climate here, so it is really difficult for them to brave the wind and snow to rush on the road.
"Everyone is tired, find a place to shelter her wind to rest." Knowing that they were all waiting for their words, Moya looked around and saw a sudden big stone not far away, so he called the mercenary to rush towards him.
The tired mercenary group of Feiyan set up camp after a simple inspection found that the fast rock was not dangerous.
Night is coming, and the creatures that only appear at night in the dark snow fields will also come out to feed
Seeing the mage Sling using magic to ignite the fire to drive away the cold, Moya frowned slightly
———
"You better not do this." Even if you find a resting place, Moya was unwilling to leave the scorpion-tailed griffin, who was also trembling with the cold. She didn't agree with this adventurous move when she saw the newly rising fires.
Although this mage has more experience than the captain, he still lacks experience in the Arctic Crystal Land.
"The climate in the Northern Continent is cold. The creatures that can survive in this environment are extremely sensitive to temperature. If you don't want to attract night-driving monsters that like to come out for food at night, it's best to extinguish the fire as soon as possible."
"ah……"
Moya said this, the mercenaries were stunned
They are not newbies, and when they come to their senses, they all rushed to extinguish the fires on the ground.
"It's so cold...Moya" kept jumping around Moya, Arisha couldn't drive away the bone-to-bone cold
"It shouldn't have brought you to the north, knowing that you can't adapt to the climate here." Frowning again, Moya knew that the little girl in front of her was about to reach the limit she could bear
Her face was ugly, pale without a trace of blood. Her sick white skin was plain green blood vessels. Her big amber eyes were full of fatigue.
The itinerary in the north is a burden for this girl who is not strong in body.
"No, there is no way. I don't want to stay in its cave. I faced the four old ghosts who only know how to study magic all day long and two stupid guards who were looking for a fool. I was worried that I would slip away again, so the old guy brought one."
It was so cold that Arisha stomped her feet. Of course, she knew that she was not going to suffer this crime, but she didn't want to be locked in the cave by Shadas and waited for everything to end
Just kidding that she still wants to go back to the Sardin family, and only by being with Moya can she have the chance to escape
cave?
guard?
These words made Slin and Lufia look at each other, and were curious about this inconspicuous little girl
"Look, what is her origin?" Lufia only saw from her appearance that this young girl was a thief. From the conversation, we can see that she was a kind of innocent little ghost who was not very cunning and innocent, but she didn't know how she knew the demon archer who was born as an assassin.
"A ordinary little thief, that's all the key lies in the red-haired young man who is with her." Slin also cared about Lufia's doubts.
This brunette girl is just an ordinary person, at most she is from the Sardin family, the thief king thief.
But the red-haired man who only appeared twice is different
That overwhelming aura, the look that surpasses all things, and the arrogance that penetrates into his bones all show that he is not an ordinary person
Even ordinary outfits cannot cover up the noble aura emitted by their bodies. Will they be nobles from a certain country?
No……
There is no such person among the nobles of a great country
Moreover, the high-density magic aura shows that this mysterious man, who looks like fire, is a magician. However, as the military mage of the First Mercenary Group of the Southern Continent, Slin, who was born in Hegus, a famous magic academy in the Southern Continent, has never seen such a mage.
The fiery redness is so eye-catching, vivid, as if it is alive
The contempt on the corner of the mouth was so confident that it seemed that it did not put everything around it into your eyes
"A character I have never seen before may be a hermit who doesn't like to show up." This is the only explanation at present. There are countless magical hermits on the East Continent. Only on that fast dark continent can you avoid the surveillance of the Magic Association and experiment with all your wishes.
"Oh..." Lu Feiya sighed. I don't know when the escort journey will end.
Just as the sigh sounded, Arisha suddenly felt her feet softened by jumping and driving.
The hard frozen soil seemed to be melted, like the quicksand in the desert, and the left foot was trapped in
In a shock, he quickly tried to pull his feet out, but there seemed to be some force underground to firmly suck her feet.
"Shadas..." In a panic, he only shouted out the name that could protect himself. The thief Arisha disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Arisa"
The fatigue brought by the cold made Moya unable to rescue him, so he could only watch the little thief's body sink into the snow.
Leap off Iki, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, Moya slowly approached the place where Arisha disappeared
Use the magic bow to pull open the thick fur that fell on the ground. A dark hole suddenly appeared on the snow-white ground, and a cold wind blew out from inside.
