Chen Senran and his team walked from daytime to night without encountering any other dangers, so they were safe all the way.

The road was not as bad as expected. Although it was narrow and narrow, at most three or five people passed by side, perhaps they were walking the imperial official road leading to the Frelljord Empire Palace back then. Although the years have worn off the road

The pattern carvings that may have existed once seemed flat enough without too many twists and turns.

The snow finally stopped when it was almost dark, and the road seemed to have reached its end.

When Chen Senran followed the upward path to the highest point, his originally narrow vision widened in an instant.

What appeared before him was a flat mountain that was so big that it was almost impossible to see at a glance. The thick snow covered it all over it, and the endless pale color made it look like an ancient gathering square.

, silent and solemn and grand.

At the end of the mountain pavement is the bottomless abyss, and on the other side of the mountain pavement is a higher mountain. There is a staircase that seems to emerge out of thin air lies above the mountain pavement, connecting two high mountains, from the mountain pavement

It is connected to the top of the mountain opposite, which is a miracle and is almost comparable to the shrine at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

"Is that the palace of Queen Frost?" Chen Senran raised his head and tried to see clearly the legendary palace on the opposite mountain.

In the evening after the snow, a rare sunset shone down, shining on that mountain, but no matter how hard Chen Senran tried, he could never see clearly what was on it.

For a long time, Chen Senran only saw some thin afterimages dragged out from the last evening photos of the sunset.

In addition, there is only the reflection of the lonely snow.

"Camp." Karthas did not answer Chen Senran's words. He was a little worried, and it seemed that he was not very sure about the battle tonight.

Chen Senran did not interrupt Karthas's thinking. After all, even with the addition of Lao Du, facing the first person under the Three Holy Big Three, no one could say that he was absolutely sure to kill him.

Yes, kill him, Chen Senran had no intention of letting Nathers go from the beginning. Since Ezreal chose to be aggressive, he could not be merciless.

Weaking the enemy to the best of its kind when possible is one of the most basic killer rules that Chen Senran follows.

Killing Nathers can be said to have broken one of Ezrel's arms, so it will undoubtedly be less troublesome to fight him in the future.

"Xiao Sensen, what are those?" Little Annie, who was tired of playing, was awake at some point in Chen Senran's arms. While rubbing her eyes that were still a little unopened, she pointed to the side.

The mountain wall yawned a little unconscious.

Chen Senran let a Demacia soldier pass by and looked along the white and tender little finger of Little Anne and looked at the tall mountain wall on the left.

The mountain wall was very high and very large, extending all the way to the edge of the mountain, almost covering the left part.

Chen Senran looked at the right again, and the structure was the same. In this way, this mountain pavement was a place surrounded by two mountain walls, almost like a valley. The opening where he was standing now and the stairs that reached the sky were

They are the only two entrances and exits.

His gaze once again turned to the tall and wide mountain wall on the left, where there were dense holes like caves. The holes were deep and the bottomless. Just by visual inspection, it was impossible to tell whether there was something inside.

"What's wrong here." Karthas once again came to Chen Senran's side with elusiveness, and he also looked at the caves.

"What's wrong?" Chen Senran withdrew his gaze and touched the little Annie who had fallen asleep in her arms. She couldn't help but scratch her little nose.

"I smelled the smell of living people..." Karthas turned his head and looked at Chen Senran.

The camp in the distance had already taken shape, the dim magic lamp was arranged, and the light shone on Karthas, passing through his vast brim of hat, from his decaying eyes hidden behind the black veil.

It leaks out, and it is light and dark.

God, it's finally dark.

——————————

Out of caution, Chen Senran sent no less than 200 people to check the suspicious holes without hesitation.

However, after nearly half of the magic work and searching for about 300 holes, Chen Sen decisively gave up this plan.

First, the night began to get darker and there was insufficient light source. Second, the number of those holes was really huge and it was impossible to search for it cleanly for a while.

In addition, Chen Senran had something to do in the second half of the night, so he could only arrange a few more shifts of guards to strengthen defense and could not do more.

The only thing that is considered to be a harvest is probably that according to those searching, there are very fresh traces of life in those caves, and there may be some species living here today.

"In other words, we may be attacked at any time." Chen Senran certainly knew the meaning of the so-called fresh trace of life.

That means that this place might have been a settlement of other creatures, but now those creatures have disappeared in one breath. They are definitely not bloody and suddenly were attacked by the queen's curse, and all of them evaporated.

Since those things dare to survive near that palace, it proves that this place should not be considered the attack range of the curse.

Or further infer that those things are simply guardians of the palace.

"Then are you going to do it here?" Karthas used his right hand with metal gloves to pick up the oil lamp in the tent, asking inadvertently.

"You should know that the more you go north, there is no chance." Chen Senran lowered his eyes, stared at the jumping oil lamp, and said slowly, "I don't know what will happen in that palace, so I can only eliminate all the things before this.

Worries.”

Karthas nodded silently. He actually knew that at this point, Chen Senran would not change his decision any more. In some ways, the young man in front of him was actually very similar to him.

Just as paranoid as death.

The oil lamp in the tent flashed lightly and darkly under the inspiration of Karthas.

No one spoke anymore. Waited for a long time. Waited for the bleeding horn to sound.

It took a long time, and after a long time, there was a heavy storm outside the tent, and the sound of the wind was deafening.

"It's so cold." Chen Senran moved his stiff body and turned around to tuck the corners of the quilt for Little Annie. In this bloody night, he suddenly wanted to drink some wine.

"It's a pity that there is no wine." Karthas sighed.

"It's a pity that there is no wine." Chen Senran nodded.

The night is still long.
