Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 In order to find out what the extra thing was, Ruen submitted a report of all the abnormal conditions within two months. Obviously, the unknown thing had appeared before Salhi II and his party arrived in Ruen.

　　 Although Nolan has been the focus of the world in the last two months, in fact, there have been frequent abnormal incidents everywhere. The reports delivered by special means can easily fill an entire room when piled up. After all, there are more churches in Ruen than Norland.

　　 Now, what Nolan lacks most is the civilian staff who look through the information. With the efforts of the Church of the Sage, the suspicious points in the file were locked in two hours. After comparing with the larger and more complicated data on the tricks, the truth of the incident was basically confirmed.

　　 Although there are very few numbered items involved in space, there are many numbered items that have the ability to interfere with space. For example, almost all human-shaped numbered items can move in a limited space in the material world.

The trick that appeared this time was identified as A-06-2-4129 [Blizzard Ghast], which is the same well-known A-11-2-3046 [Cases in Blizzard] that Jenkins has encountered before. It will appear in The tricks of the snowfields and snowy mountains.

　　 [Blizzard Ghast] will only appear in Blizzard weather. After comparing the weather records, the church determined that it appeared around Ruen, which was Tuesday three weeks ago. This kind of deceit does not have a specific shape, but is similar to the greedy person in [Treasure Hunter's Battle]. In a way that people cannot discern, it turns into a human individual with a substance and appears in a human settlement.

　　 The first ghast will enter the settlement with the travellers who have experienced the blizzard, and then live with the travelers, and gradually improve the image of memories in the minds of everyone around them.

　　 It will become a part of this settlement imperceptibly, and after confirming that it is completely stable, it will bring back more ghasts from the wild in the blizzard weather. Of course, these weird things will not live with people in stability. Their appearance will change the climate of an entire settlement in the next ten years to a certain extent.

　　At the same time, because of the appearance of ghasts, the stability and prosperity of the settlement and even the mental condition of the people living in it will be greatly affected, and the impact is subtle and imperceptible. [Blizzard Ghasts] will not kill people directly, but they can make changes that are not easily detectable, until the accumulation of time makes a complete human settlement completely decline.

　　 This usually takes many years, so in areas where there are churches, it is difficult for ghasts to remain undetected until their ultimate goal is fulfilled.

　　 When the number of ghasts in a settlement exceeds a certain limit, some of them will migrate with travelers. Ruen is now conducting self-examination. Since something has left with Sarhi II and his party, then it can prove that Ruen already has a lot of ghasts.

　　 And this kind of ghast is extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, and any special spatial force will cause the ghast to counterattack with a self-defense nature.

　　 This is manifested in the fact that an icy snowfield that does not exist in the material world overlaps the material world, and everything around it falls into the snowfield. Until all living creatures pulled into the snowy field are transformed into [Blizzard Ghast], otherwise the area cannot be opened.

　　 Reacting to specific spatial forces can only be regarded as a very humble trait of [Blizzard Ghast]. The church's research on this kind of trick is mainly on how to identify and prevent it.

　　 Therefore, even if the general situation is now known, there is still no good countermeasure to rescue. The space that cannot be opened can be opened by the church with some special methods, but no one knows what is going on inside.

　　 Jenkins read the information carefully, then put the files on the table casually, raised his head and said to Miss Strace standing on the other side of the table:

　　 "Since it is snow and ice...I think it is probably because fate is suggesting me... You are responsible for opening a temporary gap, and I will enter it to start rescue."

　　No one thinks that believers of lies are saints, and they risk their own deaths to rescue people they don’t even know. But they also did not associate him with Jenkins, but believe that the believers of the lie wanted to rely on this to get close to Salhi II.

　　 "Don't be silly, I don't know what's going on inside, risking my life to bet on probability? Oh, I'm not such a person."

　　 He retorted, and then asked bluntly whether the church agreed to this cooperation.

　　 Even if the church scratched its head, it must have been unable to figure out what this strange man wanted to do. The church originally wanted to discuss it, at least figure out the purpose of the lie believers, but Jenkins spoke very loudly. Alexia in the other tent heard his request, so he put the matter in front of everyone in the church. 'S face told Dolores:

　　 "The lie believer wants to save your father."

　　 So Dolores also expressed her views to the church:

　　 "Agree to the stranger's request. If I can't see my father, then you don't want to see any Hampavo members at the negotiating table."

　　 It was possible to agree or refuse. After Dolores added a small weight, there was no need to discuss this issue. The church agreed to let Mr. Candle enter that specific space. Considering that the situation inside is unknown, it is very likely that you will never be able to get out after entering, so the church did not arrange for his companions.

　　 But the church also promised that if Mr. Candle does not return, then the church will do its best to rescue him.

　　 "I just hope that when I come out, you can bring Mr. Oliver's reply."

　　 As he said, he took the cat off his shoulder. I scanned the busy people in the camp, and finally chose to put the cat in my arms instead of leaving it behind. Keeping the cat is something Jenkins will do. He doesn't want to expose his identity in the same way.

　　 Of course it will be very dangerous next, but Jenkins is also confident to protect his cat from harm.

　　 Soon, a strange man with brown complexion and deep-set eyes, escorted by a team of night watchmen, came to the camp with a slender wooden box that was half a person tall.

　　He and Jenkins came to the periphery of the smoke cluster. After Jenkins' eyes caught the black aura of the snowy field boundary, the group stopped, and the stranger took out a desert-like golden machete from the wooden box:

　　 "Only 3 seconds."

He spoke in Fiddicelli with a very illegible accent, and after seeing Jenkins nodding, holding a knife in his right hand, after an astonishing slash that seemed to split the space-no, he really split the space , With the help of the weapon with extremely strong red aura, the continuous sound of glass breaking under one blow sounded in his ears.

An unnatural hole suddenly appeared in the fog in front of 　　, as if the oil paint of an oil painting was peeling off. A strong cold wind blew from the entrance of the cave, causing Jenkins to shiver suddenly:

　　 "What kind of knife is this powerful?"

　　 Without time to think about it, he rushed forward, and while the hole was shrinking, he fell in with his cat.

　　 Passing through a blocked space like this is different from moving in a treacherous world. The current situation is only passing through a barrier, so it is not a space transfer, and Jenkins will naturally not have the serious discomfort caused by the space transfer.

　　 But from the warm summer night, the whole person suddenly fell into the snow that is two feet (about 0.6m) thick, which is still not a very good experience. His body hadn't adjusted to the temperature yet, he jumped up like a spring immediately after falling to the ground:

　　 "It's cold~"

　　 summoned the coat given by the sage from the spirit, as if warm water was poured from the top of his head, and even the face and hands that were not covered by clothing became warm.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Taking advantage of Jenkins's button fastening from bottom to top, chocolate poked out the little furry head from the collar. The ridged little ears pressed against Jenkins' chin, but Chocolate didn't care, but stared at the snowy field in front of him with wide-eyed eyes.

　　 "You have to be careful not to leave your clothes, otherwise a random gust of wind can freeze you into a small icy tuft."

　　 This is not a joke and deliberately frightened the cat. The temperature in this snowy field must be below minus 30 degrees. Just low temperature is deadly enough, not to mention, the inexplicable spirits scattered throughout the space transport the chill deep into the bone marrow and soul directly into the body of life.

　　 This coat given by the sage is really a great help. Otherwise, just using flames and spirits to resist the cold is enough effort, not to mention that once a fight occurs, even a slight coldness makes the joints sluggish, it may cause more serious consequences.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat rubbed Jenkins's chin with his small ears, and then as if bored with the white scenery in front of him, he retracted his head, curled up on Jenkins's chest and stopped moving.

　　 Jenkins was looking at the strange environment in front of him, and it was a space "outside the material world", which made him unconsciously think of the "Shadow Kingdom" he went to last fall.

This is probably the country of the lord of winter [Lord of Winter]. He once had a deal with this lord. It was in Luen this winter. He took the train to the Northern University with Luen’s support troops. The ice cap, together against the already disaster [Snowman Legion]. Encountered the ice and snow palace on the way, learned about the Stuart family's past, and obtained all the five white ice moves.

　　 "I don't know what I will encounter this time...In such cold weather, wouldn't Sarhi II have been frozen to death, right?"

　　 This is not impossible, but a very probable thing. For whatever reason, Jenkins wanted to save him, so he planned to call out the unicorn and flew high to see the nearby terrain.

　　 But after the ability is used, there is no effect. The special space environment prevents unicorns from piercing through the walls of the space.

　　 So I could only call out the high stool, and then sat on the stool and flew up. This is a rather undecent way of flying, but fortunately no one has seen this scene.

Chapter 2000 Chapter 1970 The Elderly Smoking

　　 This world that is extremely unfriendly to life, I do not know whether it is a projection of the world that dominates, or a part of the world that dominates directly overlaps with reality.

　　Because of the uncertainty, in order not to cause more trouble, Jenkins did not choose to use seeds to forcibly transform the scenery of the snowfield.

　　 sat on a high stool and flew to the sky. Snow was floating in the extremely clear sky, and as Jenkins flew higher and higher, the snow fell and heavier. This is certainly not the weather that the real world can have. Jenkins believes this is the rule of the world that dominates.

　　 Mr. Augustus, incarnate as the messenger of the **** of death, once said that the dominating world has strange rules that are completely different from the material world, and it is not suitable for the survival of living people. As far as the current environment is concerned, with the exception of guys like Jenkins, gifts below the demigod will probably be frozen to death when they come in.

　　 I was worried that I was looking for a needle in a haystack, but I didn't expect to see the low hills standing in the distance shortly after taking off. After flying closer, I clearly saw a series of messy footprints on the ground.

Those hills are like barriers blocking the edge of the snowy field. After Jenkins flew high against the snow, as the hills lowered in front of him a little bit, he actually saw that there was still a plain behind the hills, sandwiched between four mountains. Between the plains.

　　 On that plain, facing the shining sunlight, stands a prosperous huge kingdom made of ice and snow.

　　 This is a scene seen from a very high altitude, so he can't see the details of the architecture and the appearance of the creatures that are active in this kingdom.

I want to cross the hill and fly closer to observe, but at the top of the mountain, with a "bang~", the fast-flying Jenkins realized that he seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, and then went with that one. The high stools fell downward in the wind and snow, spinning together.

　　Because I was very close to the top of the hill below, I just recovered the high stool and let myself fall into the snow.

　　 The snow layer above the hills is much thicker than the plains. Jenkins smashed directly into the snow layer. When he stood up, the snow surface was above his waist.

"what's the situation?"

　　 He struggled to move in the snow, clearing the road in front of him by the fire of the gift, and finally touched the invisible barrier:

　　 "Is this the barrier of this space?"

　　 He guessed, but since he couldn't see the kingdom with his own eyes, he turned around and continued to search for the missing person. The footprints of the group are still very new, they are not covered by wind and snow. If you count them carefully, everyone should be in the team.

　　 just walked halfway up the mountain, and saw a temporary camp that was no longer empty. In the camp, the team was divided into two, and Jenkins chose one of them at will.

　　Go up again, and soon this road is divided into two again, one part continues to go up, and the other chooses another road down the mountain.

　　 Jenkins stared at the two footprints for a while, when the cat on his chest showed his head to breathe, he asked Chocolate:

　　 "Which way should we go?"

　　 Chocolate looked up without hesitation, so Jenkins moved on with the upward footsteps.

　　 The footprints on this road belong to 13 different people. Jenkins does not have the ability to distinguish the details of the human body through the footprints, so he can't guess whether he has found the right person. But he was surprised that after walking for so long, the big house was still alive.

　　 But after another thought, those who can walk and leave footprints are not necessarily living people, so my mood suddenly became worse.

　　 Jenkins did not find the group of people first, but on the way up, unexpectedly ran into a stranger.

　　 It was an old man wearing short shorts, a bamboo basket on his back, and a straw hat on his head. When Jenkins saw him, he was huddling behind a huge rock to avoid the wind. But because of the extreme cold, the whole person had passed out, and even if he shrank into a ball, he couldn't recover the rapid passing of body temperature.

　　 This kind of place is worse than less, but Jenkins walked a few steps and turned back to rescue him. The old man fell into a coma just because of the rapid drop in body temperature. Treating this kind of injury was just a simple task for Jenkins.

　　 After the opponent opened his eyes and saw Jenkins, he couldn't understand the first sentence:

　　 "@#￥@%￥@#"

　　 is a language that is completely incomprehensible. The pronunciation is somewhat like a dialect of the Seventh Age, but Jenkins has only heard of this way of pronunciation, and has no knowledge of the language ten thousand years ago.

"Hello there?"

　　 He tried to communicate in modern lingua franca, but of course the other party did not understand it. After thinking about it, I switched to the ancient Elvish language. This time the other party understood it, and could answer in crappy Elvish language:

　　 "Oh, look at your ears, you must be a half-blood elf!".

　　 "Yes, I am a half-blood elf."

　　 "My former neighbor was a half-blood elf, but he doesn't look as good as you."

　　 He held Jenkins's hand, sat up with strength, and after leaning on the big rock, took out a small paper box from his arms:

　　 "Mind if I smoke?"

　　 Jenkins once thought that he had heard him wrong, even if he was rescued, at the current temperature, he would surely pass out in half a minute:

　　 "Don't mind... Are you sure you want to smoke?"

"Yes it is."

　　 He took out a very crude hand-made cigarette from the carton, and then took out a match from the fold of the sleeve of his jacket. With a stroke on the beating stone behind him, in the wind and temperature, the ordinary match was actually lit.

　　 The old man held the cigarette in his mouth, holding the match in his right hand tremblingly close to the end of the cigarette, and covering the front of the mouth with his left hand to prevent the match from being blown out. Then the match really lit the smoke. The old man shook his hand, threw the extinguished matchstick in the snow, and then took a deep breath. When he exhaled the smoke ring, his face was ruddy and his expression was happy, as if he had just taken a warm bath.

　　 This is not normal in any way.

　　 "I guess, you are not here."

　　 He leaned against the big stone and said, seeing Jenkins staring at his cigarette, nodding, smiling and coughing a few times:

"Occasionally, people from other places do fall into our place. You are lucky, and I am also lucky. Cough cough, come with me later, wait until I finish smoking this cigarette. Cough cough, you really won’t come. One? Oh, well, it's a pity."

　　 "Actually...I didn't fall in. How should I put it...the place where I live in a certain world overlaps."

　　 Hearing what he said, the old man nodded calmly with a cigarette in his mouth:

　　 "I encountered it when I was young. It turned out to be like this. Then it seems that I can't leave. I can't leave until you leave."

　　 "Do you understand the current situation?"

　　 "Understand, although it is not often, it is not a new thing. Young man, I am afraid your trouble is bigger than mine, right?"

　　 While talking, the old man sandwiched the cigarette with the thumb and **** of his right hand, pointed the cigarette **** at the surface of the snow, and tapped it lightly with his index finger to let the ashes fall.

Chapter 2001 Chapter 1971 People on the Snow Mountain

　　 "It's okay, it's actually not difficult to leave."

　　 Seeing Jenkins's frowning face, the old man who smokes turned around and pointed his finger in the direction when Jenkins came:

"There is a temple over there. You find the temple and express faithfully that you want to leave. As long as you have not offended the world and your luck is not bad, you should be able to leave. Remember, it is a temple, not a temple, which is good. Distinguish, temples are usually abnormally dilapidated and full of dangers. Do not touch any temples in the snowy field. They are remnants of the old days."

　　 said, he even drew a road map on the snow with his fingers:

　　 "Not a local, it is difficult to find the temple. You are really lucky, of course, my luck is also quite good."

　　 He spit out the smoke ring again as he spoke, his movements were quite skilled, and he was already an old smoker.

　　 "I want to ask some questions about this place."

　　 Jenkins said again.

　　 "You ask, but I can't answer everything. You know, it's better not to know some things."

　　 "I understand, may I ask, what are you doing?"
