It wasn't until Xu Shuo arrived at the Silver City-State, changed his clothes, had dinner, walked some distance, and chatted with his teammates about the situation in the North, that Sora finally reached the Far North Mountains.
The reason why she is so slow.
In addition to the death of her en route mount, Sola also took a long detour and spent a lot of time reacquainting herself with the road.
She passed through the Silver City-State.
But for some unknown reason, when they approached the city gate, they suddenly changed direction and headed directly towards the Far North Mountains.
Although Xu Shuo sensed that his magic mark was not far away, he still walked a long way around the mountains and then waited silently in front of where Sora would pass by.
Instead of chasing her myself.
It's better to let her find him by accident.
As for the clean armor and riding uniform I am wearing, there is no way to disguise it, but there are many excuses, so just find one to deal with it.
Now that we have come to this point, can the girl still run away?
Xu Shuo stood on a hillside and looked into the distance. In front of him was a rolling ridge in the mist and a canyon between the two mountains.
There is also very little vegetation in the Far North Mountains.
There are also some sparsely distributed coniferous trees.
The mountains here are scattered, resulting in numerous canyons and streams. At a glance, there are endless mountains.
The mainland has never understood what kind of environment those elves live in. Do they really live in the ice and snow, or is there a cave in this cold mountain range that looks like the end of the world?
Only elves have always entered the human world and stayed, but humans have never followed the elves back to the place where they live.
Someone once tried to go deep into the Far North Mountains to find the gathering place of ice and snow elves.
However, as a result, there has been no news since, and no one outside knows whether he is still alive or whether he has been found.
Xu Shuo was thinking about this, quietly staring at the white mist not far away, and thinking about the reason why the girl came directly to the Far North Mountains.
Suddenly, there was some movement behind him.
As a highly accomplished magician, he shouldn't be unaware of this.
So Xu Shuo looked back.
"Eh?!"
The girl who had just taken a defensive posture at the foot of the hillside blinked in surprise and looked up at him with some surprise: "Mr. Ross? You are actually here?"
Xu Shuo also looked a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Sola paused for a moment, then said: "I went back to look for you before, but there was no trace of you in that place, so I had to come to the Far North Mountains by myself first. Mr. Ross, fortunately you are okay.
"
Xu Shuo curled his lips: "You don't have to worry about my safety. Look, I got here before you."
Sola also laughed: "It seems so."
While talking, she also raised her feet and walked towards the hillside.
However, compared to the previous two days, the girl's eyes looked a little vague and complicated at this time, as if she was worried about something, and also seemed to be feeling something.
Xu Shuo looked at her calmly, and then said: "I went to the Silver City State after getting rid of the pursuit of the bandits, but you didn't seem to go there? I didn't wait for you there, so I thought of going to the Far North Mountains first.
, I didn’t expect to actually meet you here.”
Sola sneered: "I heard that there is a church in the Silver City-State. I was worried that my whereabouts would be exposed, so I didn't enter the city."
"It's okay if you haven't entered the city. I heard that there was an invasion by an army of Warcraft a few days ago. The Duke of Silver was also seriously injured in that battle, so there were a lot of people coming and going in the city during this time." Xu Shuo said in a serious tone.
said.
"The army of Warcraft invaded the Silver City-State?" Sola was a little surprised.
She really didn't know about this.
After all, since entering the script, she has been either running for her life or following Xu Shuo. She has no chance to get other information from outside.
Although she is also concerned about the main mission.
But unlike the Silver Duke's choice of priority, her side missions were a matter of life and death, so she chose to solve her own side missions first, and could only postpone the camp missions later.
In fact, there is nothing to compare, but everyone chooses the outcome that is most beneficial to themselves.
After Sora heard about this, he was confused for a while.
Warcraft is controlled by elves.
Although the Northland was usually harassed by Warcraft, incidents like this kind of invasion by an army of Warcraft were rare. She couldn't help but think of purebred elves.
Could it be that there are real ice and snow elves that have passed through the Far North Mountains and entered the human continent?
And will that ice elf...
"Sora, how do you feel physically after you get here?"
Sora, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted.
She looked up and saw the young man's expression was soft, his eyes as silver as the moonlight reflected her outline, and his eyes were full of encouragement and expectation.
Um...encouragement?
This look made her feel as if she must be feeling something here.
You've expressed it in this way, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I really didn't feel anything, and wouldn't I be a fake elf?
Sola hesitated and said, "Actually, when I came here, I seemed to feel something pulling me, so I went straight to the Far North Mountains."
After saying this, she noticed that the young man's eyes seemed more kind?
If the other party looked at her before, she was looking at a junior who was somewhat related to the same origin, but now it seemed that she was looking at a junior who was of the same clan and clan?
Sora: Weird.
Xu Shuo smiled broadly: "It seems that Sora is indeed a descendant of our elves. The place you sensed here should be the real residence of the ice and snow elves. The guidance in the blood will allow you to return to your home."
."
At this moment, the young man seemed to be transformed into a magic stick. His long silver hair illuminated by the moonlight was white and holy, and his smile was bright and elegant. Sora was stunned when he saw it.
All the previous doubts seemed to have disappeared.
She slowly realized: "Is the mountain range the home of the elves?"
Xu Shuo looked at her with a deep look: "Sora, the reason why I want to take you to the Far North Mountains is because the power of the elves is condensed here. Only by mastering this power can you better suppress the curse in your body.
."
Speaking of curses, Sora seemed to have come to his senses.
It took a few more days to travel, and now it was closer to her twentieth birthday.
For the sake of her own survival, she temporarily put aside her camp tasks and followed this half-baked stranger here.
She has already arrived here, and there is really no possibility for her to go back.
Sora looked at the mountains in the distance: "So are we going to the gathering place of the ice elves now?"
Xu Shuo did not agree directly, but said: "If this place is enough for you to use the magic in your body to suppress the curse, then there is no need to go there. If it still doesn't work, you may need to rely on the power of pure elves."
"But will the elves be willing to help me? They don't seem to accept the existence of hybrids." Sola asked hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter if they don't want to. We just need to rely on their bloodline power. You are already proficient in that magic, right?" Xu Shuo said in a persuasive tone.
Sola was moved. She raised her hand and tried to activate the magic.
Xu Shuo looked on encouragingly.
Then, she secretly used the cover of the wind and snow to quietly activate the magic energy, making the magic mark materialized in her palm more solid and clear again.
Feeling the warmth in his body and the mark on his hand, Sola was surprised and delighted.
When she tried it before in the city-state of Turnus, she heated her body to a boiling point, but the mark was still vague.
But now it's only slightly warm, and the mark is already so clear.
Does that prove that being in the Far North Mountains is indeed good for her body, and the closer she is to the elves, the stronger the effect?
"It is indeed useful to you. As long as you successfully cast this magic, the curse in your body will be suppressed by it, and you won't have to worry about it happening again for at least a few decades." Xu Shuo sighed.
"Thank you." Sola said sincerely.
"It's not easy for elves to live in the human world, and it's even harder for our mixed-race family to integrate into this continent. This is all as it should be." Xu Shuo raised a rather peaceful smile.
"Let's go find the elves!"
Now that he has decided on a way to suppress the curse, Sora plans to speed up the matter here and then see if he can help the camp.
Xu Shuo originally came here with the intention of taking Sora to the group of monsters.
But now that I have discovered another wonderful use of this girl, I naturally have to wait until the things are used up before removing them.
The character of the mixed-blood elf.
Since she exists, she must have some use in this scenario, regardless of whether it is for the enemy or for our own side. Anyway, use it first and then talk about it.
…
On a high mountain one kilometer away from the two of them.
Zuo Fang, who was holding a silver telescope, clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"You fooled someone away again. It would be a shame for that boy not to be a scumbag."
"They are not going in the direction of the Warcraft army."
The Silver Duke did not rely on the telescope, his sight passed through the obstruction of the violent wind and snow, and he squinted at the figures of the two people disappearing behind the hillside.
Zuo Fang nodded: "I should have found other clues, and they are far more important than the clues about the army of Warcraft. Of course, it may also be that the guy suddenly wants to fish."
The Duke of Silver paused after hearing this: "Does he often put aside his business and do other things like this?"
"Yes and no." Zuo Fang rubbed his chin.
"What does that mean?" Duke Silver frowned.
"Because he usually does things while fishing, you can't tell whether he is fishing or secretly planning something else. When you think he is fishing, in fact, he has already dug it for you.
It's a scam, but when you think he is doing business, he is actually fishing." Zuo Fang joked.
"..."
From the script of "囍" to the script of "Fatal Beauty", we have collaborated three times, and Zuo Fang feels that he has almost figured out the person's behavior.
At that time, he really thought that Wang Tiezhu was trying to catch a fish, but it turned out that he was concentrating on attacking the bride - who would dare to believe that the big boss dared to attack.
And just when he thought Superintendent Bellold was planning to catch the murderer, the guy was actually leisurely watching a show.
Zuo Fang: Is this a bohemian style of writing?
The Silver Duke had no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he heard. He just stared thoughtfully at the wind and snow in front of him.
The next moment, his body also moved.
"Follow me."
Zuo Fang looked over for a moment: "What about the bishop in white? What if your people suddenly come to report new news? Are you not going to arrest him tonight?"
However, the figure of the Silver Duke has quickly gone away. The white cloak draped on his body almost blends into the ice and snow, and is like floating feathers, whizzing away with the wind and snow.
Catching the bishop in white is not as good as catching the elves.
…
…
Deep in the Far North Mountains.
The speed of the two of them is not slow.
And because he was in a hurry, he used magic energy to rush on his way, and he had already gone far deep into the mountains.
The wind and snow all over the sky carried a frightening momentum, whizzing past as sharply as a blade. The further you went in, the more violent the wind and snow became, and the snowballs came like a violent storm, hitting people with pain.
Sora didn't feel cold at all, and even felt a refreshing feeling. All he breathed into his lungs was the cool and comfortable air.
On the contrary.
Xu Shuo felt a little uncomfortable.
But this discomfort was not because the snowstorm was too violent, but because he sensed a vague aura, full of repulsion.
This aura is everywhere, as if shrouding the depths of the entire Far North Mountains.
Xu Shuo felt something, but he did not stop his progress because of this. Instead, he felt a little excited in his heart.
It's just a little bit of suppression, it doesn't make any difference.
Even this bit of suppression was like a desperate effort to resist, competing with the light aura in his body, and then being suppressed inhumanely by the light force.
Yes, it cannot defeat the power of light.
But it seems that he is still fighting very hard.
…
After Xu Shuo and the two climbed another mountain, the endless mountains finally disappeared, and an ice field washed by violent winds and snow appeared in front of them.
The two of them already needed to maintain their magic at all times to prevent themselves from being submerged in the snow.
Because the snow here is extremely violent, the dense blizzard almost obscures all sight, and the entire sky seems to be a white curtain of snow.
This also makes it difficult for them to see clearly whether there are mountains further away.
Xu Shuo looked at the boundless ice field in the distance and suddenly sighed: "This is the legendary ice field. It doesn't seem to be difficult to find, but it seems to be very difficult to find."
Sora was puzzled: "Legend?"
Xu Shuo smiled inexplicably: "According to legend, people who go deep into the Far North Mountains to search for elves have seen this ice field, but they have stopped at this ice field. And those who have the courage to set foot on the ice field have not.
One exception has disappeared, and in the past thousands of years, no traveler has successfully found the elven realm and returned."
Sora was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was hit by the snow or frightened by these words.
She thought for a moment and said, "Are there any mixed races here?"
Xu Shuo nodded: "Yes."
Sola added: "Could it be that they have found the gathering place of elves, but chose to stay there, or that they arrived but were unable to get out? Of course, it could also be that they were..."
He was sacrificed to heaven by purebred elves.
Well, no matter how you think about it, it doesn’t seem to be a good outcome.
Xu Shuo smiled after hearing this.
There wasn't much embarrassment in his smile, and his silvery-white eyes staring at the ice field flickered slightly under the moonlight.
Inside the gray gradient layer of Lord Pope.
Where is this ice sheet?
It is clearly a bottomless ravine, and the color below is so dark that it is almost black, which shows how terrifying its depth is.
Sola looked at the blizzard on the ice field, and then at the cliff at her feet. The guidance in her blood seemed to tell her to keep moving forward.
"Mr. Ross, shall we continue walking?"
The cliffs of this high mountain are not that steep. They have some strength, so it is not difficult to climb down.
Xu Shuo didn't speak, but suddenly looked up at the sky.
He smiled gently and said: "Of course, keep walking, but I'm not going down there to die."
"ah?"
Sora was startled when he heard this.
But the next moment, she suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness coming over her without any warning, and her brain shut down before she could even think about anything.
The girl unconsciously fell into a deep sleep, her body lost the strength to stand, and leaned towards the cliff in front of her.
Xu Shuo reached out and grabbed her collar to pull her back, then turned back to look somewhere behind.
