Chapter 140 Journey

When the cold wind became the theme of the whole world, Leo and his party began to feel that it was difficult to move. The snow reflected light, and the light was particularly dazzling here. Although it was just some simple and practical portable magic crystal lamps, they were still exposed to this strange place.

When we realized that everyone was almost starting to get tired and the group camped in a place that was enough to cover the river embankment, this weather caused an unspeakable sadness for everyone. With a helpless sigh, they began to move. When Leo and Bosk began to look at the northern map given by the Elf Queen, the child followed Garlock to prepare dinner.

Leo's finger slipped across the map to study the characteristics of the actual terrain. We don't have to continue along the river," he finally opened his mouth and tapped his finger on a curved river. From here, we can plug in and return to the river in front.

Bosk thought about Leo's suggestion: "In this way, we can save about 100 miles, but--" He asked a question: "I don't know if there is a road to pass on this mountain."

"Many cliffs," Leo admitted, looking a little discouraged when he thought of these places. But with the rope, it can be relatively smooth - I don't think it's any different from moving forward in the snowfield. It's almost difficult to walk.

Bosc scratched his chin and nodded. It should be better to go like this. What will we see on the road?

"There is danger hidden on all roads in the north." Leo reminded him. You won't be disappointed then!"

Bosk showed a rare cheating expression: "There will be you then, big brother!" His fingers moved on the map and excitedly recalled to Leo his experience at every location on the map, especially the gobrin desert, which he led the caravan through the area with his wisdom.

At this time, he suddenly remembered a man, " By the way, we met a man who came to you on the way. His name is Kozmo - Brother Leo, do you know him?"

Seeing Leo nodded, he told Kozmo's joining story. At this time, Leo remembered that he and this ninth-order sword god still had a story that he didn't understand. What about him now? He asked.

Bosk roughly talked about Kozmo's departure, and Leo looked serious. The killer organization 'Si', Sky City, an alchemy organization obsessed with the pursuit of breaking through the limit, the power guardian organization Hodelin Castle, and the mysterious Alcatraz Island, are gradually emerging. In the past records, organizations that have only had one or two appearances for more than 100 years have now made great moves. Is it really a sign that the wheel of fate begins to turn?

Looking at Leo falling into thinking, Bosk didn't dare to say much, so he had to go aside and look at a rat roasted on the fire. A big guy," he laughed, "enough for us to eat all day!"

Garlock turned the stick to make every part of the barbecue fully heated, and sprinkled some salt on it evenly. "Is the boss going to take a shortcut?" He began to cut off a piece of meat and handed it to Obix beside him: "Taste the saltiness."

Bosk nodded, "This can save a long way, and it looks similar, not particularly difficult to walk!"

Garlock saw the child nodding, so he began to divide the fat snow mouse. "This decision is right," he said worriedly: "I have begun to have a bad feeling. Maybe the enemy will come out sometime."

"What's here?" He asked.

"Barbarian," Garlock said coldly. Just like other places. They don't know the way of life and fighting skills of the civilized world, but their bravery is not inferior to any other race. These scattered creatures are scattered all over the north and floating in the wilderness.

When the two of them had a heated discussion, Leo came over with a smile: "Those people are not a big trouble. We don't have to worry too much - at least they are not much!"

"But I just saw that your face was very serious," the child interrupted, "Big Brother Bosk also saw it!"

Seeing that several people were worried about their own expressions, Leo couldn't help laughing and happier: "I'm a little worried for other reasons. Don't come to guess!"

"What's the matter?" Bosk asked, "Can you say it?"

"About Cozmo," Leo explained, "I'm afraid he will have a problem."

"You seem to be too worried about this," Garlock said, "He is the ninth-order sword god - even if it's dangerous, he can't run away?"

"I'm not afraid that he can't run away - I'm afraid that he won't run away!"

Bosk had something else to ask. He believed that Leo would not worry for no reason, but Leo reached out and picked up a piece of cooked meat and began to eat it. He had to give up the idea and prepare to ask again when he had time.

They stayed in this windy mountain recess all day to regain their strength and prepare for the long climbing process. Leo is going to take this break, and they will climb over the mountains on the map at one time and then rest.

This section may take 48 hours or more.

The old Duke opened and pushed gently, and the door opened. He flashed into the room, and his bodyguards guarded outside the room.

"What did you get?" He immediately saw Zac and Abysim in the room, as well as Aslan beside him, and asked directly instead of talking nonsense.

Zucker nodded and told himself about the situation, but ignored a small episode about Leo's possession of fragments.

The old Duke's face became more and more severe. The first thing he thought of was to imprison the Second Highness, but he got rid of his idea and imprisoned a prince without any real evidence. Even if he was a duke, it was a death penalty.

"What should I do?" Aslan cleverly asked his own question, which meant to ask the Duke what he needed to do secretly.

The old Duke shook his head, "The best thing now is that the defense of the whole fortress is under my control. Although His Highness can mobilize some soldiers, he can't interfere with my defense deployment - but I'm afraid that they will use raids!"

"Then can you monitor the Second Highness?" Aslan proposed.

"Surveillance is not a good way," said the old Duke, "In case of mistakes or negligence, it will lead to a huge disaster!"

He said word by word: "It is the best policy to send the Second Highness back to the king!"

Several people looked around, and the old Duke's reaction was similar to what they discussed before. Aslan coughed, "If it really doesn't work, we will pretend to be an assassin and injuring the Second Highness!" He saw that the Duke did not mean to be angry, so he continued: "In this way, you can send him back!"

The old Duke still shook his head: "Although it is said that this plan is feasible, he was injured in the Archangel Fortress, which is expected to help the Second Highness. At that time, if your majesty really passes the throne to him, it will be in great trouble!"

"What do you mean?" Abysium whistled: "This won't work. If that doesn't work, just tell Your Majesty about this matter directly and wait for him to make a decision!"

"That's what I think," the old Duke sighed: "But there is no evidence!"

Zach said at this time, "Actually, I have a suggestion: Didn't Your Highness say that you are looking for the fragments of the abandoned blade? Now we simply told him that we got the news of the fragments and appeared in Wangdu. You directly use the military order to send him. At that time, you will stay away from the Archangel Fortress, and I don't think there will be any big waves!" He looked at the old Duke: "This task was proposed by himself. It's not good to rely on it?"

"In case he really finds the fragments and gives them to the dark elf, that's another trouble!" Aslan retorted.

Zucker smiled. He knew in his heart that three of the five fragments were in the hands of the ghost emperor, and the rest were in the hands of Leo. No matter how the second prince looked for it, even if he turned over the whole free alliance, he would not find a star, but the news could not let them know. I don't think the fragments are so easy to find, right? He put forward his opinion: "We can look for the dark and the blue mermaid together. Everyone has a similar chance. Even if he finds it first, we can get the news and get it back halfway!"

The old Duke nodded slowly. It seems that this method makes it the most effective and simple now. Although it seems more risky, there is no real threat.

"Then Zak, please go back to track down the news of the fragments," the old Duke looked at Abhim: "And you went back to find real evidence in the king's capital to prove that the second prince collusion with the dark elves!"

"Try not to let others know what we talked about today!"

※※※

The second prince quickly got the task, and the military order arranged to set out immediately. He knew why, but he did not dare to refute it and could only embark on the return journey angrily.

No one thought too much about this resolution. His Highness himself put forward this plan and went to find the fragments by himself. Now that he has received the news of the fragments, he has no big problem when he returns to Wangdu - anyway, the archangel fortress is as solid, and it doesn't matter much as he has less than one.

Zark returned on the way. He did not intend to stay in Wangdu, but was going to take him back to see Mr. Mei and then look for Leo.

The journey over the mountain seemed to be a little difficult, but because it was close to the dome, there was little snow, and even the temperature seemed to be higher. Forty hours later, our adventure team successfully climbed over the mountain and reached the other side.

Shortly after going down the mountain, Leo found the sign that the Elf Queen once said by the river - three huge wormwood trees growing together.

Leo was very excited to find the sign for the first time after leaving the oasis of life for so long, which at least showed that the route he took was correct and without deviation.

The team began to trim and prepare to follow the sign tomorrow - the Elf Queen said that if she found a sign, she would find the second one!
