Great Nobleman

Compared to the pioneering war period, the harsh environment faced by the detour through the snow-covered mountains.

The snowy mountains to the east of the empire have a much better environment.

At least when walking in a relatively peripheral area, you won't suffer from continuous frostbite from ice elements that are as powerful as primary spells.

But even so, it took a few days to get there quickly.

Because the amount of exercise is a bit heavy, there are many formal mages who are weak and relatively low-level.

I also don’t feel physically tired unconsciously.

——Like Andy or something like that.

In the evening that day, because the sky was getting dark and monsters appeared frequently at night, it was not suitable for traveling.

So the dean ended today's schedule as usual.

He led everyone to find a suitable place and used magic to open a cave and build a camp.

On Brand's side, he set up a camp with his teacher and Catherine, and had a sumptuous dinner together.

Holding the warm earth tea in his hand, Brand slowly walked to the two friends who were resting by a fire.

After taking out a chair and sitting down, I put the earth tea aside on the stone platform built with magic, and put my beloved Behemoth blanket on my legs.

Brand said to Andy who looked tired:

"Andy, if you really can't hold on anymore, why don't you let Uncle Cecil take you forward?

This shouldn't be a problem for Uncle Cecil. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Finn, who was also resting next to him, also said to Andy with a "friendly" look on his face:

"Andy, if you really can't stand it, just say it boldly. Anyway, this is not the first time that your weak body has embarrassed you!

In fact, I can carry you on my back!

To me, your body weight is no different than a backpack. "

Hearing the banter between his two friends, Andy said angrily:

"Thanks for your concern, but I can still hold on!

But Brand, why are you free to come to our place today?

Why didn't you go to accompany your two ladies? "

Speaking of this topic, Finn said with a teasing look on his face before Brand could respond:

"Andy, you don't understand!

After staying in Wenrou Township for a long time, you always need to come out for some fresh air!

Otherwise, you will easily be suffocated!

This is obviously the case with Brand. "

Hearing this, Brand shook his head helplessly and said:

“It’s just for digestion after meals.

Also, after tomorrow, we will gradually enter the central area of ​​the snowy mountains.

So I came here to remind you.

The closer you get to the central area of ​​the snowy mountains, the harsh environment of the ice element will further intensify.

The frequency of powerful monsters will also become much higher, so it is necessary to be more vigilant. "

After hearing this, Finn was a little curious and said:

"I know a lot about this matter, according to what my eldest father said before.

In the later stages of the Pioneering War, did you guys face a similar harsh environment in their operations in the snowy mountains?

If you don't drive the mage group frame when you are on the road, you must carry an intermediate-level or above-level cold-repelling spell, otherwise you will get frostbite?

Is it necessary to turn the protective barrier to the maximum even when resting at night to avoid various emergencies? "

Brand nodded and said:

"It is indeed like that, because that area is in the path of the continental ice element circulation.

Even if we were only operating on the edge of the central area of ​​the snowy mountains, the environment we faced was very harsh.

Normally, we will face a similar situation to that time.

But that is always based on normal circumstances. "

After a slight pause, Brand said seriously:

“According to some observations we made while on the road today, it seems that a very large-scale ice elemental storm is erupting right in front of us, in the central area of ​​the snowy mountains further east!

So the situation we are about to face may be worse than we expected! "

As soon as these words came out, Andy and Finn both became a little solemn.

…

The next day, we drove from morning until after noon.

The surrounding environment became extremely cold at an extremely fast speed.

Even under the shroud of the principal's elemental domain, everyone had to use the cold-repelling spell to drive away the severe cold.

What made everyone even more solemn was the dark clouds in the sky above their heads and the occasional falling snowflakes.

After a short rest and lunch, everyone continued their journey.

While on the road, the surrounding wind and snow became more and more obvious.

Under the increasing cold.

Everyone had to increase their magic output and use stronger spells to dispel the severe cold.

And at a certain moment, a special ice element suddenly collided with the principal's elemental field!

Immediately afterwards, a large area of ​​cold frost visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in the area to the left of everyone, and was consumed by the elemental field at an extremely fast speed.

——The two are competing fiercely!

Seeing this, the dean's voice quickly rang in everyone's ears:

"Attention, a high-level monster has discovered us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge snow leopard appeared that was so huge that the height of an ordinary person could only barely reach the ankle joint.

Step by step, his head emerged from behind a snow mountain on the left front.

After seeing the many humans wearing fleece jackets here, it roared ferociously and charged forward.

Immediately afterwards, before anyone could react, the vast and incomparable magic power of the dean began to revive.

After pushing up the monocle with a calm face.

The snow directly in front of the snow leopard suddenly began to rise upward!

A burly giant made of ice and barely the same size as a snow leopard held a giant ax in his hand. He slowly stood up from the ground, stood in front of the snow leopard, and quickly fought with it!

While the two sides were fighting, the principal of the college said to everyone:

"We leave as soon as possible. Over time, the nearby monsters will be attracted."

Hearing this, everyone started to leave at full speed following the dean without thinking.

In order to ensure speed, the magisters and knights in the team directly deployed the magic force field and the power of the knights.

Under the influence of absolute power, everyone tried their best to restrain their aura and quickly moved toward the east at a height close to the ground.

During this process, the surrounding environment and wind and snow quickly retreated.

From time to time, everyone can feel the powerful momentum coming from the surrounding area, which is not inferior to the snow leopard just now!

——These high-level monsters are approaching the battlefield where the Snow Leopard is!

After keeping a sufficient distance from the battlefield behind, we found a relatively safe area.

The dean led everyone to a stop.

Later, he led everyone to build a cave under the snow, spread out an isolation circle, and eliminated the aura.

After doing all this, the dean said:

"Let's hide here for a while, and wait until the monsters outside calm down before we continue..."

Before he finished speaking, an ice element that was colder than the previous snow leopard suddenly covered it like a tsunami!

The barrier surrounding everyone suddenly became turbulent, and large ripples spread like water waves.

Seeing such a scene, many people in the team couldn't help but shrink their pupils!

Fortunately:

This barrier held up tenaciously!

Seeing this, the dean said helplessly:

“Let’s stop here today, everyone camp here, and we’ll continue on our way tomorrow morning.

In addition, the magister and the gentleman and lady with the strength of the knight will come to my place for a meeting, and we will discuss the specific arrangements for the subsequent journey. "
