Chapter 3210 The Priest of the Snow Mountain
Xia De was also surprised to look at the priest in front of him who could briefly connect his soul to the snow-capped mountains. At this moment, on Xia De's right hand, the fiery red cracks spread from his back to his arms, but the dense cracks only extended to the position of his elbow and disappeared.
The coldness of the snow-capped mountains was completely melted by the afterglow of the first fire, and the power of the earth represented by the mountains could not shake the soul of Xia De, who had devoured some of the origins of the earth. Although Xia De did not dare to say that he was the earth, the earth was indeed part of him.
Even the blessing power given by the God of Winter [The Girl of Cold Winter] was revealed at this moment. The snowflakes floating in the night sky that had turned dark blue at some point were dancing for Xia De at this moment. Then the running cold wind sounded a terrifying howling sound in the mountains, like a violent collision between the wind and snow.
Only the two of you could hear the loud bang at this moment. After the whistling sound appeared, Elder Harald was even more surprised to realize that it seemed that after the snow mountain collided, it took the initiative to accept the strange young man.
He immediately let go of the hand he held with Xia De, and was forced to withdraw from the state of being connected with the snow mountain. After taking two steps back, he threw away the long staff with his left hand and held the right hand that he had just held with Xia De. The hand was burned.
The elders of the tribes at the foot of the snow-capped mountain looked at the young man in front of him incredible ways:
"What kind of fire is this? No, I feel the power of the season. You come from the Great Ice Cap of the Great Northern Ice Cap? Are you from the [Winter Song Group]? How can your soul be so powerful?"
"Although I have had an intersection with them, I am not from the Ice Field, nor am I a believer of the goddess who controls winter."
Xia De negated and reiterated:
"I really came to find that magic sword. I heard news in the city that someone had been attacked on the snow-capped mountains, and then I found it."
Xia De had proved that he was qualified to stay on the mountain, and Elder Harald did not say anything about sending Xia De to the foot of the mountain. He hesitated for a moment:
"You are talking about something half a month ago. After hearing the news, I went to the attack site, but there were no clues left to track. Half a month was enough to make all the traces disappear at that time. Young man, although I can take you to see the scene again, you'd better not have too much hope."
Although he was not directly burned by the first fire, the burn marks on his hands could not be easily eliminated. Xia De reached out to treat him, but the old man in the robe shook his head, took off the spell hanging on his chest and pressed it on the palm of his right hand. He was using the power of this snow mountain again.
Xia De continued:
"Even if the traces disappeared at that time, there should be other clues. The local black market drug dealer who was attacked on the mountain was a famous local black market drug dealer. His friend said that he had never appeared since the end of the year. Today I ran to several places where he once settled, and only arrived at the snow mountain in the evening."
Xia De thought of the notes below the herb hut again, and the magic merchant said he wanted to ask someone for help. Since he went up the mountain to pick herbs all year round, it was impossible not to know these tribes at the foot of the snow-capped mountains:
"That potion merchant, won't be with you, right?"
"this"
Elder Harald nodded:
"I know the person you mentioned, the pharmacist is of a very high level and has a good friendship with us. He is not in the village where I belong, in other villages at the foot of the mountain, but not far from here.
He went to the foot of the mountain for help three days ago, and then remained unconscious until now. If you are not afraid of delaying supper time, I can take you to see him."
"Can you cure him?"
"I haven't found a suitable method yet, so I can only plan to maintain his current state first, and wait until the All Spirits Day, and then use the ritual to help him drive out toxins and curses. The power of the relic that hurts him is extremely terrifying. If you can't determine what relic it is and then rescue it based on the characteristics, ordinary herbs and potions may not have any effect."
His hand had returned to normal in the talisman blue light. He bent down and picked up his long staff and signaled Xia De to follow him to the mountain. He also had many questions to ask Xia De, a powerful ring warlock from a foreign country. Although he had met someone who could resist the power of the snow mountain before, the only one who was accepted by the snow mountain was the only young man in front of him.
Xia De followed and continued to ask curiously:
"Speaking of this, Elder Harald, did you come down from the mountain for the sake of that magic sword?"
"No, it's for the All Spirit Day. The snow this year is so heavy. I want to take advantage of the good weather today to see the situation on the route you want to take during the All Spirit Day. This is fine for the ring warlock like us to walk, but the young people in the tribe are all ordinary people."
The Fatu people formed villages with "tribes". Similar villages often belong to the same tribe, and different tribes are closely connected with each other due to various marriage relationships.
Of course, the villages at the foot of the snow-capped mountains are different from those in the plains. Most of the villages here are built at the end of rugged mountain roads, and the exterior walls of fortresses are built in the form of a "village". Different functional areas are established in an orderly manner due to the height of the terrain.
Elder Harald told Xiade that this was the traditional architectural style of their houses. Before people from the Old Continent land reached the island, the villages were to defend against attacks from wild animals and other tribes, and after people from the Old Continent gradually migrated, they were to deal with those outsiders who tried to get involved in the snow-capped mountains.
Although such behavior seems meaningless in today's era, after all, the Principality of Lagson has issued laws to protect the rights of the Fatu people, people in these snow-capped tribes believe that war will come sooner or later, and peace is the most unlikely event to last:
"I heard that there are two principalities in the Old Continent who are fighting for trade routes. I think the full-scale war is coming soon, but I just hope that the people on the Old Continent will not burn the war on this island."
The two of them walked quickly on the way down the mountain, and even for some unnecessary distances they jumped directly from the mountain. But even so, by the time they arrived at the village called "Holt Village", it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
The lights in the village at the foot of the snowy mountain were as conspicuous as torches in the snowy night. The gate of the village had been closed, but the elderly man shouted twice at the top of his throat, and the guards opened the gate.
Listening to the sound, this is not a gate made of winch and ropes, it is an automated gate made of steam power and pulley lever. The indigenous people at the foot of these snow-capped mountains do not seem to be just keeping tradition.
"Where is the elder Yulsa in the village? Is the city man who came to ask for help after the end of the year? "
"They were all in the arena behind the village, and something went wrong in the evening."
Everyone in this village knows Elder Harald who is walking with Shade and respects him very much.
As for the "Elder Yulsa", Xia De originally thought that even if the other party did not have the level of the eleventh ring, the level should not be very low. However, when the two arrived at the arena between the corner of the village and the cliff, Xia De discovered that the elder of the village was actually just a second ring warlock.
"That's right, where can the high-ring warlocks appear so easily?"
The old man was standing outside the arena surrounded by simple fences and hardened on the ground, and was worriedly watching the figure in the arena alone in the dark night as if fighting against the air and snowflakes.
Of course there will be no street lights in the village. The lighting here is only the torch in the hands of the elder Yulsa and the two young people around him.
After Xia De and the others arrived, Elder Harald exchanged a few greetings with the gray-haired elder of the village. Xia De saw that the man in the arena had completely lost his mind, but because he had insufficient IQ after losing his mind, he was trapped here by simple illusions.
The other party should be the "drug merchant" Xia De was looking for. His body shape was exactly the same as what Mr. Mortis described, and the strange runes that appeared on his skin when he was dancing at this moment were consistent with the records he left in the basement of the herb cottage.
Although Xia De was not sure about the specific origin of the black runes, he was sure that it was not the devils' blasphemy runes:
"It's really just a relic?"
Elder Yulsa explained to the two of them with great concern:
"In the evening, he suddenly woke up. I thought the situation was getting better, but he didn't expect that after he got up, he immediately started attacking the people around him. Fortunately, he could still consciously suppress the power, so he did not cast spells, but just smashed it with his fists. I planned to use illusion to let him consume his physical strength here for a while, and he would definitely faint again after a while.
Then I will feed him some calming herbs, so I should be able to control him next.”
"I'll go and see what's going on with him. You guys watch it from the outside and don't let him run away."
Xia De then said, and Elder Harald nodded to the old man in the village. While the latter canceled the illusion, Xia De took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the "Pharm Merchant" in the middle of the arena.
The businessman covered with black runes all over his body also noticed Xia De's appearance at this moment. His fist immediately hit Xia De's face, but Xia De held his hand again.
Even if the Central Warlock is influenced by the power of the relics, the simple physical strength cannot compete with Xia De.
After trying a few times, he found that he could not pull his hand out of Xia De's palm, so he also smashed his left hand at Xia De. However, during the fist, a black sword blade shot out from the back of his left hand. However, Xia De, who was prepared, just sideways and dodges, then kicked the potion merchant to the ground.
