On the seventh day of his march eastward, Chen Senran finally set foot on the deep snow at the end of East Freljord.

When his feet felt the softness and transparency of the newly accumulated snow last night, he finally let out a long breath. The seven-day trek over mountains and ridges, with heavy snowfall, finally came within the planned time.

, rushed here.

According to Sejuani, as long as you find the highest peak of the North Iron Ridge Mountains, which stands at the end of the East Freljord, then its silhouette will be the gateway to the northeast.

Thinking of this, Chen Senran couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the snow that had fallen all night had stopped. In addition, the terrain was getting higher and higher as you went east, and there were no clouds in the sky. When Chen Senran looked at the sky, the entire sky appeared in front of his eyes.

A gorgeous sky blue color.

Under the sky-blue light, there is a mountain peak rising abruptly from the south into the sky, standing sharply at the corner of the sky like a sharp sword that breaks the sky.

"That's the highest peak of the Northern Iron Ridge Mountains." Karsus didn't know when he came to his side. The old immortal guy closed the adventure notebook that he had already torn through, and raised his head to look at

Sky, although his face was hidden in the hat, Chen Senran always felt that his eyes should be looking straight at that moment.

"Yes." Chen Senran didn't pay attention to Karsus' anomaly. He moved his gaze below the mountain peak that reached into the sky.

Although the sun has not yet reached the zenith at this time, the sunlight shines particularly clearly on the snow-capped mountains, drawing a sharp silhouette out of the solitary mountain peak.

"Do you know?" Karsus was still looking at the mountain. He seemed to be in a trance for a while, and his tone was a bit distant, like the beginning of a story.

Chen Senran didn't say anything, and his eyes slowly moved in one direction along the sharp profile.

"Legend has it that there is a bird in this world that will not die. It was born in the coldest ice and snow, and only lives on the highest peaks all its life. Its body will die, but every time its body dies, its spirit will die.

Mixed with ice and snow again to form new life, until the next death." Karsus did not seem to stop because of Chen Senran's silence. Instead, he became more and more interested as he told it, and finally told a story that sounded a bit ridiculous.

About immortality.

Chen Senran squinted his eyes and thought of a divine bird called the Phoenix from the previous world. That bird also could not die, but was reborn in the flames every time.

However, he still did not answer, because he was a little confused as to why Karsus suddenly told this somewhat incomprehensible story, so he simply ignored Karsus and continued to follow the silhouette with his eyes.

"Then why doesn't it go down the mountain?" The speaker was little Annie lying on Chen Senran's back. Because the road was not easy to walk these days, Chen Senran and his horse had abandoned their horses long ago. Little Annie retreated and slept on Chen Senran's back.

On her back, she had just been awakened by a gust of cold wind. She happened to hear Karsus's slightly novel story, so she asked sleepily.

"Why did it go down the mountain?" Seeing that someone was finally interested in his story, Karsus seemed to smile lowly and asked with interest.

"Because..." Little Loli cutely rubbed her still-unopened eyes, yawned and said, "It will never die, so how boring would it be to stay in one place all the time, like

It was because I was locked up in a small dark room by my mother to learn magic. I couldn't bear it even after three days of studying. I thought it would only live in one place forever, so..."

"How is it?" Karsus' interest became more and more intense, and he seemed to be looking forward to Little Annie's answer. He rubbed the dim staff in his hand, walked to Chen Senran and stood side by side with him, looking at

Little Annie.

Although little Annie has been getting along with Karsus more recently and is not as afraid of this old monster as she was at the beginning, she is still a little scared when she sees this old monster suddenly turning his face towards him.

She curled up slightly, leaned her little head next to Chen Senran's head, and said timidly: "Then how lonely it must be."

With a timid tone and childish voice, he inadvertently said something that seemed to make sense.

Therefore, children sometimes see the simplest and most thorough things.

Karsus seemed to be stunned for a moment, or maybe that sentence brought out the countless loneliness hidden in his heart for hundreds of years. His hand caressing the staff for a moment

The ground is stiff.

"Hey, Mr.... who has lived for hundreds of years, you haven't told me why it doesn't come down the mountain?" Little Annie must have wanted to call the old monster, but she was probably still wary of Karsus, so she finally asked.

Very polite.

"Because..." Karsus finally came to his senses. He no longer looked at little Annie. His hand with thick gloves continued to rub the staff, and his eyes looked at the blue sky in the distance. He spoke,

He seemed a little uninterested and said, "When it goes down the mountain, the whole world will be destroyed."

Little Annie was stunned when she heard this. She muttered something silly about the destruction of the world, and then she laughed again. She probably thought the story was quite interesting.

"It's a rare good day today, let's come down for a walk." Chen Senran looked at the little loli's smiling face, scratched the tip of her pretty nose, and put her down from behind.

The little girl's energy seemed to have improved with this sleep, and she did not continue to rely on Chen Senran's back. After a favor, she smiled and ran towards the relatively flat snow ahead, probably to play in the snow.

"Does that kind of bird live on this mountain?" Chen Senran glanced at Karsus, and of course he could tell that Karsus was not just telling a story.

Karsus was silent. He seemed to be still looking at the clear sky. After a long time, he said: "The silhouette is pointing to the mountain col."

Seeing Karsus avoiding talking about this issue, Chen Senran was not interested in delving further. After all, this old guy has always been mysterious.

Of course, he had already discovered the mountain col that Karsus mentioned. Just when Chen Senran was about to move towards the mountain pass, he suddenly heard an exclamation.

That was the voice of the little Lolita, and Chen Senran burst into laughter instantly, but when he raised his feet halfway, he couldn't help but laugh.

Because he saw that the little Loli was not attacked by any monster or other unexpected situation, but was hit all over her head and face by a snowball, and she was looking at him pitifully.

Just when Chen Senran wanted to go up to comfort her in a funny way, a slightly childish voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"You outsiders, hurry up and leave the snowman's territory. Don't make the snowman angry, otherwise you will be finished."

As this sound fell, there was also a faint roar of an unknown species floating in the wind.

————————

This chapter was stuck for four hours.

Sometimes I have thought about stopping writing and going to sleep. You are not the material at all.

But, but.

However, when my hands touched the keyboard, I knew that I should be someone like Ximen Chuixue.

Ximen Chuixue died all the time except when he committed murder.

As for me, except when I am writing stories, I am also dead at other times.
Chapter completed!
