"This time it's about the Ice Peak Fortress and Monster Hunter, you can go or not. My suggestion is that you stay in Tsang Town, and I will stay with you at midnight so that you can summon me at any time." Feiqi found Shani alone and said to her: "The people in the Ice Peak Fortress are like relatives to me. When Tron's tone seems to be in conflict. When they see that I will show my true side, I will have a chance to really solve the problem."
"I understand, I stayed at school with midnight. If I miss you very much, can I really summon you back?"
"Yes. In the same world, the calculation of returning coordinates will be much simpler. In theory, you can summon me more frequently. But..." Feiqi said in a low voice: "My body is still a devil. Summoning me will make me exude the devil's aura. It doesn't matter in hell, but it's better to be careful in the area where the church is."
As a devil, it is such an inconvenience, but stronger power, agility, insight and physique than humans are also real benefits, let alone flying. If you encounter any monster in the Sunset Mountains this time, being able to fly will give Fitch more choices in battle - of course, he will not show his wings in front of everyone unless he has to.
The students at the Magic School were about to set out as soon as they appeared. According to Liz's report, some students were able to cast the simplest luminous magic, and each student had at least completed the construction of the mana track, so the scene of all members casting magic is just around the corner. The students all wanted to "show" Principal Feich, and Liz also wanted to congratulate Feich. Whether it was the rune spell of the Eight Eight Eight Clan or the pastor of the Thunder Goddess Church of the Truth, no student could learn to cast spells.
Feiqi didn't care about celebrating now, and he didn't have the time to think about why the magic teaching was so effective. All he could do was to quickly assign a lot of homework and then ride a horse to set off with Tron. Although there was snow outside, the practice of paying attention to road traffic for a long time had a good effect, at least the road from Tsang Town to Collingwood was accessible.
In this environment, the horse dared not run, so Feiqi and Tron could still talk. "Now there is no one else, can you tell me in detail what happened?"
"Start from the monster that suddenly appeared? Well, but I won't talk about the battle part." Tron stopped for a while every time he said a sentence or two, half of it was in memory and half of it was organizing language. "The five-headed monster has very strong recovery ability, so we dare not let it heal the wound slowly. Follow its footprints all the way into the mountains, and then use a narrow canyon to trap it. After trying, we found that acid can inhibit its wound recovery. With this discovery, we finally killed it."
Scina then suggested that the monster be completely cut open and see what kind of it was. This suggestion was approved by everyone. They removed the monster from eight pieces and took back the heart, head and liver that seemed very important, and also smashed the bones, blood shone, and burned them to ashes. No creature can be reborn in this situation. Even if it can, it will happen where the heart, head and liver are located. It will be just enough to monitor and guard when brought back. Everyone thought that the matter was over...
"Ramsden first discovered the problem: the internal organs brought back did not rot normally, but remained in their original state. This abnormal situation..."
"Wait, I'm not trying to ask the monster or the light in the mountains, I just want to know why everyone started to quarrel and it was about to fight?"
Tron choked, swallowed hard, and then said, "Sisina and Momm thought that something big had happened in the mountain and they had to go and see it, but Kelly thought that the mountain was too dangerous, and that entering the mountain in winter must have the consent of the presiding pastor. Then Sisina... She said that you are not here anyway, and not objecting would be acquiescent. How could instructor Kelly agree with such a serious personality? So she started arguing."
"Tron, what do you think?"
"Me? I think everyone is just idle." Tron tilted his head and said, "To be honest, there has been nothing wrong in the past two years. Roads are being built, and more and more wild lands have been renovated and turned into farmland, villages, and monsters are avoiding far away. And now there are elf rangers and hunters outside patrolling everywhere, and monster hunters are no longer used."
"Do you feel that you are becoming less and less important?"
"Yes, I feel this way. People outside no longer need our protection, so we just hang out in the castle and wait for death. Feiqi, you may not believe it. It turns out that the boring routine patrol has become a popular job. To put it bluntly, if you have a task to go out, it is like being released from prison."
Tron ended his words with a sigh, and Feiqi was silent. Since the establishment of the Model Leadership, all lords have paid great attention to the security construction in their territory and are willing to spend money on it. Mercenaries and adventurers who came to smell the smell of gold coins uprooted the "monster ecology" here, and monster hunters are indeed nothing to do.
Monster hunters have better combat experience and richer field knowledge, and no one has any doubts, but they cannot leave their responsibilities, so they cannot have a large "hunting range" like mercenaries. As the model leadership environment becomes better and better, monster hunters will be slowly trapped to death.
"Wait for a moment, Tron, I was exiled to the Fortress of Ice Peak, aren't you all! Didn't I leave all the blank mission book in the Fortress of Ice Peak? Just write the mission and go out by yourself. Why wait for me?"
"The main reason is that I am afraid of not taking care of it. What if an emergency occurs and everyone is not here? In the past, Lord Snow Owl was at the Ice Peak Fortress, and everyone has a backbone. Now there are only a stack of white papers that you signed. Who can feel at ease?"
"Oh, I blame me, the stall is too big and I can't do anything." Feiqi bit his lip and said, "I personally think that the people from our Ice Peak Fortress still have to come out, just find a more suitable method. What do you think you can come to Minas Ishir, or just come to the magic school."
"What are you doing?" Tron sighed: "I always thought it was easy to be a knight, but after trying it, I found that I still had too many things I didn't know. Those norms, systems and family knowledge kept making my head hurt. Even the movements of getting on the horse are required. Isn't this torture?"
"You were cheated, right? Why didn't I know there are so many more... Forget it, even if I know, I have never done it according to that. Don't use me as the standard." Feiqi thought for a while and said, "But I still think you were cheated. Generally, knights don't require those, and they are not royal guard knights, and they don't need to travel with the king or the archbishop. How to get on the horse is your own business. Who are you going to participate in knight training?"
"It's okay, I don't want to go again for the time being. Let's solve the problem of our fortress first."
"Yes..." Feiqi nodded vigorously.
They rode in the snow, and after reaching Collingwood, they left their horses at the inn and began to walk up the mountain. The snow on the mountain was very soft, and they stomped down and buried it all the way to the base of their thighs, but this was not a barrier in front of the Qi element rope. One pulls and one pulls, and they climbed up from the cliffs, with the ice peak fortress close to their eyes.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know how much damage the monsters had caused to the fortress. About one-sixth of the castle collapsed directly, and a huge crack extended from the top of the tower to the bottom, like a monster with its claws spreading its bloody mouth. A lot of walls in the middle and outside also collapsed, and the original stable disappeared, leaving only a sharp-cornered wood wreckage from the snow.
Old Man Kipling used to especially like to look at the courtyard on the third floor platform. Now that the old man has left, the platform is also sacrificed in the battle. Feiqi looked at the gap, and no matter how he looked, it looked like an ugly scar, on the face of the castle, and in his heart. He slapped himself in the mouth, and then flipped it directly through the gap in the city wall, without even wanting to knock on the door.
"They should be on the other side of the hall. The damage on that side of the castle was relatively small," Tron said.
"Pengpeng didn't tell me that the loss of this battle was so great. Look at the fortress has become like this!" Feiqi pushed the city wall hard, and a brick was pushed out, falling along the cliff, falling into the snow and disappearing.
"Who!" A sound came from the fourth floor of the castle, and then I saw Kelly revealing his head, his beard was unshaven, and he was holding a heavy crossbow in his hand. "Tron, where did you go? Feichi! Why did you come from there? Hello, everyone, someone is here, they all come alive!"
All of them are alive? Did everyone be in a "half-dead" state before? Feiqi heard something from the words of Instructor Kelie, and when everyone gathered together, he felt a faint estrangement, and his mood became even worse.
"Sorry, I haven't come back for so long. I've been under the title of a presiding pastor and did nothing." Feiqi apologized to everyone first, "To be honest, after Mr. Kipling passed away, I have not fully accepted this fact, nor have I prepared to become a presiding pastor. And my..."
"Stop talking, we don't want to hear your apology, let alone ask you for the standards of a saint." Ssina turned her fingers at the dagger, with a buzzing sound. "Mom told us that you do have a lot to do at the foot of the mountain. We are on the mountain... Who called you up? Tron didn't have the courage."
"I." Giles said a word, then closed his mouth again.
"Okay, it's useless for you to come up. We felt that the light in the mountains was suspicious and wanted to go and see it. Kelly hid our equipment, it was obviously a problem!" Sisina was angry, and the scars on her face became terrifying. "I never thought that there would be thieves in the monster hunter!"
"In this kind of weather, you are looking for death! All the animals are gone, and you can't supply food at all. Why live? Only the little things in your backpack?" Kelly was not willing to be outdone: "Due to your bad temper, you must be unwilling to accept it, and you have to move forward even if you insist. Then, we will dig out the body of you from the snow in the beginning of next spring?"
"Corpsy? Your face is more rigid than a stone! Did you stay in the frozen fortress all day and your spirit of exploration is frozen? There is no elementary apprentice asking you to yell around now, so I came to me right?" Ssina grabbed the flying dagger: "It's better to fight the two of us, who will win, who will have the final say?"
"If that's the case, why not fight with me! You can go together!" Feiqi roared, his voice echoing in the hall like thunder. The illusion on his face trembled, and his face was like waves, obviously he was so angry. "Come on! It seems that he really has no place to vent his anger? You'd better use all your abilities and fight me like a monster. You don't need to imagine the other party as an enemy. I can be your enemy seriously. Come on, fight happily!"
"I won't fight you," Ssina was startled by Fitch, and after saying that, she looked at Kelle again: "Of course I won't fight you either."
Feiqi stepped forward, clenched his fists, and didn't know where to put it: "I'm really a ghost! Is this the base camp of Monster Hunter or the cave of Primitive Man? The competition decides who is right and who is wrong? This is a good rule! It's so advanced! There should be applause here! Are you people who abide by the goddess's doctrine, or have degenerated into orcs?"
"Uh, the orcs are not fighting, the ones are fighting are goblins." Ramsden raised his fat hand tremblingly, muttering half a reminder. Wumama quickly kicked him gently on the face of the foot.
"Of course I know! I'm confused!" Feiqi rolled his eyes, but the atmosphere slowly eased. "I came later than you, I stayed here the shortest time, and I didn't even live with a few of you. You may not believe that if I had a chance to have a new life, then my childhood would be like spending here."
"Ha?" This time, everyone was confused, but some people showed it, while others remained serious or expressionless.
"Affected by the spell, I am very emotionally excited recently. I... Damn, I can't lead and care for you like Mr. Kipling. I can only solve the problem. If there is danger, shovel it flat; if there is a monster, cut it to death; if there is a problem, deal with it! I can only do this, I try my best to do this, can I do it?!"
Perhaps because Feich mentioned Mr. Kipling, everyone finally calmed down slowly. Ssina tilted her mouth and said, "Okay, as long as it can solve the problem. My opinion is that the glowing place must be seen."
"I know, I know what you think too. You two, one has a point of view that you want to see, and the other has a point of view that the current environmental conditions are not allowed to see. I'm surprised, what are the conflicts between the two? One is a problem of direction and the other is a problem of method. As long as the method is solved, will Kelly stop you from going out in winter?"
"Finally..." Giles, who had always been taciturn, slapped his hands and said, "I'm seeing someone sober. Feich, two things."
"Tell me."
"One, I have no wandering souls this year." Giles squinted his eyes, his voice calmly like a deep pool in the mountains. "Two, they didn't pay attention."
"I noticed." Ramsden raised his hand again and raised one foot to avoid being stepped on by Wumama, but his other foot was stepped on.
"Who is the one who didn't notice this?" Feiqi asked, looked around and found Tron, Ssina and Mommy patted themselves with their hands. "Okay, this is another abnormal thing, let me...I want to hear what the person who noticed this first wants to say."
Giles waved his hand and said that he had nothing to say. Kelly frowned and almost hummed from his nose, "Wandering Soul is a mission that is carried out every year, how can you not pay attention?"
"I always wanted to see what the Wandering Soul looks like, so I remember it." Ramsden said with a chuckle: "Wummama probably heard me a lot, so I remember it too?"
There is no doubt that he was beaten by Wumama again. This kind of fight was just a joke between the two people, and Feiqi would not ask about it. He was just thinking about the question of whether the wandering souls appeared and the mysterious light of the Sunset Mountains. "I want to see the light of the Sunset Mountains now. Can anyone take me there?"
Tron was stunned for a moment. The question on his face didn't seem to be fake: "Hey, didn't you see it? You can see the glowing place where we climbed up!"
It was true that they didn't see it. Everyone took Feiqi to the city wall and pointed to the direction almost west. "Look, it's still shining now, right next to the steeple mountain, have you seen it?"
"No..." Feiqi not only used his eyes, but also used Hawkeye meditation, but he could not see anything. He thought that his devil had the ability to see through illusions, and perhaps the light there was some kind of illusions, so he could not see it? It is very likely. If it was an illusion, it slowly attracted everyone's attention and even affected their emotions, causing some people not to notice the problem that the wandering soul did not appear. Well, this logic seems very complete.
"I'll try it with magic." Feiqi said, taking off the cat-tease stick from behind. The moment he caught the cat-tease stick, he saw the strange light in the mountains.
It was a glimmer of red and blue mixed with each other, a bit like an aurora, but it was floating around the ground. The light made people feel suspicious at first glance, and the idea of ​​"something strange must have happened." Feiqi let go of the cat-tie stick, and the light disappeared in the distance; he held the cat-tie stick again, and the light appeared again.
"What's going on? Does it have anything to do with the light in the distance?" Monk Feiqizhe Er couldn't touch his mind. The cat stick can be used as a medium for casting magic and increase the speed of casting, but if you just grab it, the cat stick is just a particularly strong cane. (The cat stick has made an expression (⊙﹏⊙) about this)
Let go of the cat-knife stick, Feiqi directly casts spells with the magic matrix of his arm. Although the speed is slower, the spell effect is the same. He used several detection spells in succession, and then discovered a very strange phenomenon: only when he holds the cat-knife stick and can see the light, he can detect the meager mana fluctuations there. As long as he can't see the light, the detection spell will be blank.
"Because the distance of that light is too far, I can only analyze some of the mana fluctuations. First of all, it is determined that it is not an illusion, but a mixed spell, including a certain summoning spell, and perhaps the feeling of space spell. I need to be closer to further judgement." Feiqi said to everyone: "Whether it is a summoning spell or a space spell, it is definitely not good news. And I can't explain why the light appears and disappears from time to time to time for me... By the way, can you be sure that the monster before died in the land of light?"
"Land of Light? This name... Forget it, this is not important." Ssina muttered a few times, then nodded and said loudly: "Yes, it is indeed in that place. The distance is so far, there may be a little error, but at most, the upper half is less than a mountain."
"The wandering soul has not appeared. There is such a strange light in the Sunset Mountains now, and the monsters that suddenly appear... These unusual things appear together. If you choose to turn a blind eye, you will be a stupid blind man. So, we must go to that place to investigate. Kaile, take out everything, this time you must be fully armed."
"Then you must first solve the problem of supply and how everyone gets through it. If you don't solve this, you will never get anything even if you remove me or kill me."
"Transfer it." Feiqi said to Kelly: "Take out all the spell rune tools in the fortress. I will make a directional teleportation array, first launch everyone's supplies, and then teleport people after confirming that they are fine. Use enough supplies to build an action camp in front, so that at least it will ensure that it will not freeze and starve to death. Even with sufficient spell rune materials, I can also make a return teleportation array. Kelly, if I do it, what's the way?"
"Telection? Okay, Feich, I believe you, I have no objection." Kaile nodded: "In this way, can we start to act?"
"Yes, everyone prepare separately. I want to see how much rune materials are left, and then calculate the weight limit of the teleportation... This is all my business. You are ready for the most sufficient exploration and combat preparation." Feiqi thought for a while and continued: "Gilles, explore preparation for you to be responsible; Ssina, battle preparation for you to be responsible; Kelly and Momm helped me make a spell array and prepare for the camp. Tron, remember to take me to see the fragments of the dead monsters before; Wumama and Ramsden, are you in charge of the ravens that are sending the letter? Ask other fortresses, what do they think of the light of the Sunset Mountains, do they see the wandering souls, and have they encountered the migration waves of animals driven by the wandering souls."
