"Dang, Dang, Dang", the dull bell sounded over the town. For a town with hundreds of people, the life, old age, sickness and death of every town is a major event that alarms the whole town. Whenever a township passes away, the bell of mourning will spread throughout every corner of the town. Everyone will spontaneously come to the square to send the final blessings to the deceased dead. Especially like now, two young children died tragically on the snowfield, and the elderly father lost his only spiritual sustenance. This kind of thing has not happened in the town for a long time. The townsmen gathered in the square and remained silent for a while. They didn't know how to advise the sad father.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young Chester knelt on the ground, hugging Ner's stiff body with one hand and holding the frozen thighs with the other, crying out loud: "I'm confused, I shouldn't hide it for you. If I had told Uncle Dark earlier, you wouldn't have had such a result. I'm sorry for you, wuwu, wuwu, wuwu, wuwu."

The townsmen in the square gathered together in groups of three or five, pointing at the scene in front of them. In fact, everyone knew that this kind of thing was not blamed by Chester. After all, Chester was also a young man. It was impossible to consider problems as comprehensive as middle-aged and elderly people. It was common for him to be blinded by emotions for a while and could not make a correct judgment. Moreover, whether he concealed or not actually could not change anything. After all, if the two had already made up their minds to slip away, even if they were blocked for a while, they would find an opportunity to run away from home again. It can only be said that the young couple had a bad luck and encountered hungry and fierce beasts on the road. Theoretically, the road between villages and towns was still very safe, and there were almost no monsters in the sky, but it might be because of the blizzard that had been hungry for more than ten days. The monsters who had been hungry for more than ten days were almost crazy, so they attacked humans on the road.

Lao Dake sat next to the corpse with a dull look at his daughter's limbs, staring at his daughter's silence, his eyes open without blinking, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, from his unsightly eyes, everyone had guessed his final ending. An old man who lost his only spiritual sustenance, a father who lost his most cherished daughter. What else can the final ending be like? Perhaps, lonely death is his best destination.

"No, Uncle Dark." Chester suddenly remembered something. He climbed up to the dull old man with his knees, hugged the old man's calves with both hands, and put his face on the old man's knees, and cried loudly: "Uncle, I'm sorry Betty, I'm sorry for you, woooo, don't be sad, I will treat you like Betty in the future. I will treat you like my father, I will take care of you for the rest of your life, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Oh." Old Dark let out a deep sigh, and two lines of tears overflowed from the corners of his wrinkled eyes. He raised his hand, and put his hand on the top of Little Chester's head, stroked his hair and sighed: "It's not your fault, child, you can't blame you for this. You are a good child, and I hope everything is fine. Alas, if you blame them for being too bad, you can't rest in peace if you keep so sad."

"But, but I feel guilty." Chester lay on Old Dark's lap like he was a child, and cried: "Sister Betty, Sister Betty, she, wuwu, I don't want her to die, wuwuwu..."

Old Dark finally couldn't control his emotions, and stood up and hugged Chester. The turbid tears rolled down from his old face. The silent tears were even more sad than the sound of crying. On one side of the square, Freya's handkerchief was already wet, wiping her face that had been crying, and choked and said, "It's so pitiful, wuwuwuwu, the child in love is running to the outside world for happiness, but the weak life... ouch."

On such occasions, Vivian also rarely recovered from her trance state, holding her staff and showing her blessings to the dead with a solemn expression, and using violence to stop Freya, who was tearful and hazy, expressed her sigh in her heart. Panis suddenly coughed dryly and whispered: "There is a task that you need to complete in a while."

"Yeah?" The girls were stunned at the same time, looking at Panis in surprise and said, "You have discovered other things, tell me, what task needs us to do, how many people can complete it?"

"Be safe, Lina, come with me." Panis said seriously: "You four are going to complete the task. By the way, McVillin, please go there too. The higher the combat power, the better. If it weren't for me to participate on the other side, I would like to go with you."

"It's okay for me to help," McVillin said slowly. "But where do you want us to go?"

"Come here, let me tell you." Panis waved his hand, and several people gathered around him. He spoke in the lowest volume for five minutes. The expressions on several people's faces changed. Even McVillin, who was originally indifferent, became surprised. Catherine's lips squirmed for a long time before she said in disbelief: "Are you telling it seriously?"

"Of course it's true, I'm more than 80% sure." Panis whispered: "Didn't you have similar ideas before?"

"But I..." Catherine bit her lip and thought for a while before nodding, "Okay, listen to you, just do what you said just now? Don't we need to do something else?"

"Finish him and send him back to where he should go." Panis sneered and said, "Just leave the matter here to us. Don't worry, we will do everything well and will wait for you to come here at that time. If you are lucky...hehe."

The ceremony of blessing for the deceased ended with the cry of Dark and Chester. The townsmen wiped their tears and gradually dissipated. Chester supported Lao Dark and the two walked slowly towards Lao Dark's home. In the square, only the mayor was still commanding a few young townsmen to prepare coffins for the deceased and preparing for the funeral. Pannis took Lina to the mayor, pulled the mayor aside, muttered for a low voice. The mayor's face changed drastically, and he could hardly control his voice: "Are you saying true?"

Panis nodded and handed something to the mayor in seclusion. The mayor looked down and returned it to Panis again, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, but how is this possible?"

"You'll know after a while." Panis shrugged: "There are always some things that will be beyond our expectations."

"Okay." The mayor clenched his fists tightly, his face had a weird expression, and he whispered: "Then let's catch up with them first?"

The mayor took a few quick steps, caught up with the two old and young people who had left shortly before, and whispered something. Chester was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Dake as if he was exploring. It was not until Lao Dake nodded and agreed that he agreed to the mayor's opinion. The two turned around and changed their route and walked towards the Chester's house.

Chester's home is on the edge of a road in the town. It is also a two-story building. The first floor has five rooms. In addition to the living room and kitchen, there are prey showrooms and fur storage rooms. The remaining one is used to stack and maintain various weapons, traps, bows and arrows. As for the upper floor, there are two bedrooms, and one has been transformed into a prayer room. Chester's parents were devout believers of the Ice and Snow Goddess when they were alive, and they prayed devoutly to the goddess every day. In Chester's generation, although their faith was not as pious as their parents, the special prayer room was still preserved.

When he walked into Chester's home, the mayor seemed to have nothing urgent to do. He was chatting with Old Dark and Chester. Pannis and Lina wandered aimlessly in the living room, as if they were just wandering around. After walking around for a few times, Pannis showed a mysterious smile to Lina. Lina held the book with an impatient look on her face. After seeing Pannis' smile, she also sneered coldly, continued to lower her head, and followed Pannis without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chester, Mr. Duck." Pennis walked back to the mayor and said to Chester: "Although we promised to help you bring Betty and Neo back, our ability is limited and I really can't do it. I feel sorry for you."

Old Dark didn't understand why the mayor asked him and Chester to gather at Chester's house first. The mayor said before that there were some things about Betty and Neo, which was very important and wanted to communicate with them in private, so they came to Chester's house together.

"You can't blame you." Old Dark sat down on the chair tremblingly, covering his face and sighed deeply: "We are going to look for it together. If it weren't for you, we might not even be able to find their bodies. Your apology is really unnecessary. I should thank you if I must say something."

"Indeed." Chester's eyes were still red, but he bowed deeply to Lina and Pennis seriously: "Thank you for bringing back the bodies of Neo and Betty, so that we can have a chance to bury them well."

"It's a little early to say thank you now." Panis said with an inappropriate smile on his face and squinted his eyes: "And it's a little early to say the body now. After all, Betty's main part has not been found, and no one can say that she must be dead now."

"No, you are not from the Snowfield, I'm afraid you don't know." Chester said the same as Old Dark: "In this kind of weather, if you break a leg, it's almost impossible to survive on the Snowfield."

"Indeed, I admit that it is difficult to survive on the snow field, but what if it is not on the snow field?" Panis said with a mysterious smile, "Mr. Chester, I have a small question to ask you. Your relationship with Neo and Betty must be as close as a relative."

"Of course." Chester said, "better than relatives."
